A SEASONABLE HINT.
King George’s Grecian kingdon is in
such a l often condition that is is said to uiA&iiaand ciothedmawhollyTaultie^
IIow to Avoid Taking Cold.
A cold is simply a developer of a dis
eased condition, which may have been
latent, or requiring only such favoring
condition to burst out into the flame of
disease. That this is usually the correct
view of a cold as a disease-producing
agent, under all ordinary circumstances,
may be made plain by reflection upon
personal experience, even to the most
ordinary understanding. When the hu
man body is at its prime, with youth,
vigor, purity, and a good constitution on
its side—no degree of ordinary exposure
to cold gives rise to any unpleasant
effects. All the ordinary precautions
against colds, coughs and rheumatic pains
may be disregarded and no ill effects en
sue ; but let the blood become impure,
let the body become deranged from any
acquired disorder, or let the vigor begin
to wane, and the infirmities of age be
felt by occasional derangements in some
vital part, either from inherited or actual
abuses, and the action of cold will exeite
more or less disorder of some kind, and
the form of this disorder, or the disease
that will ensue, will be determined by
the kind of pre-existing blood impurity,
or the pre-existing fault of these organic
processes. It follows from these facts
and Considerations that the secret of
avoiding these unpleasant consequences
thought to spring wholly from the action
of cold upon the body has very little de
pendence upon exposure, but a great
deal upon the impure and weak condition
of all the vital processes. In other
words, with an average or superior con
stitution and intelligent observance of all
the laws of health, men and women could
not take cold if they wanted to. They
might be exposed to the action of the
cola to a degree equal to the beast of the
field, and with like impunity. But in
case of persons with feeble constitutions,
and who disregard, knowingly or other
wise, the conditions of healthy existence,
no degree of care will prevent the taking
cold, as it is termed. _ They really live
in houses regulated with all the precision
of a hot-house. They may cover them
selves with the most highly protective
clothing the market provides, and yet
will take cold. I don’t think the con
sumptive person lives, or ever will live,
even if kept in temperature absolutely
be extremely probable he will retire
disgust before long. The parliament of
that classic kingdom has been at logger-
heads with the king for some time, and
the cabinet is about to be impeached for
its opposition to the chamber during the
lost year. Moreover, the treasury is ab
solutely empty, and the wherewithal tp
replenish it is wanting. No one ' could
blame the king for laying aside the cares
of state.
— - t
The executive committee of the
Woodruff county agricultural and me-
manner, in who”* tb<* well known signs
of cue cold iifLci iiiicuicr will not be ap
parent. But, on the other hand, there
are those who, like Sir Henry Holland,
of good ‘constitutions and living in ac
cordance with the laws of health, may
travel, as he did, from the tropics to the
Arctic, again and again, clad only in an
ordinary dress coat, and yet scarcely
know what it is to have a cold or sickness
of any kind. The truth is, to avoid tak
ing cold from ordinary, or even extra
ordinary exposure, the vital processes
must be made strong- enough to rise
above the untoward influence of external
conditions.—Sanitarian.

Entrance.—
At the world’s great castle gate
A beggar cries.
“To wealth and state we open wide,
To the worldly-wise, in purple pride,”
A voice replied.
“Alack!” said she, “for the loving heart
And naught beside.”
Expectant at a mightier gate
The worldly-wise
Stand waiting by its golden bars,
Till wonder-pearls and gleaming stars,
Swing open wide
For her who brings the loving heart
And naught beside.
—A maiden once said, “ I’ll not mate
with a man who has not fortune great.’
So she pouted and waited, and scorned
to be mated. She’s a maiden yet—age
forty-eight.—N. Y. Com. Adv. A maiden
once thought, “I can not be bought—I’ll
marry a man who is poor; ” but the man
he drank beer, died driving a “keer,”
and twelve orphans went out from her
door. ’Tis better to wait and be aged
forty-eight than to marry the average
man; for there’s trouble ahead for the
maiden whflll wed the very first person
she can.
—It seems that the practice, of scalp
ing is not peculiar to the North American
Indian. An inquiry put forth in Nature
draws out the following information on
the subject: Herodotus mentions that
it was one of the most characteristic of
the ancient Scythians. It is said that
the custom still prevails among the wild
tribe of the frontier in the northern dis
trict of Bengal. The “ Friend of India”
remarks that “the Naga tribes use the
scalping-knife with a ferocity that is
only equaled by the North American
Indians, and the scalps are carefully pre
served as evidences of their prowess and
vengeance over their enemies. On the
death of their chief all the scalps taken
by him during his warlike career are
burned with the remains.”
