With regard to the training of a beagle, be lias to be treated ou quite a different plan from the setter and pointer. In their cases x great deal of work of training is to conquer natural propensities, whereas with the beagle you encourage him to go on and do oil he can in seeking and chasing when found. Young dogs are usually put dbwu with au older one, aud a very few lessons suffice. It comes as nat ural to a beagle to run scent as for a terrier to kill rats, ami if there is no apparent inclination one lesson usually provokes it. The less one interferes with a beagle running a line the better for the dog, so long as he is not potter ing in one wei! tested place, but casting all about -when he lias lost, the trail.— Field aud Stream.

These give no time for the digestive organs to rest aud incite an increased flow of the di gestive secretions. Thus larger quanti ties of nourishment are absorbed than can lie properly utilized, and the result is an otistruction, commonly called a *."eold," which is simply an effort of the system to expel the useless material. Properly speaking, it is self poisoning, due to an incapability of the organism to regulate and compensate for the dis turbance. A deficient supply of pure air to the lungs is not only a strong predisposing cause of colds, but a prolific source of much graver conditions. Pure air and exercise are mvessj’-y to prepare the system for the assimilation ot nutri ment. for without them there can lie no vigorous health. The oxygen of the air we breathe regulates the appetite as wol. as the nutriment that is built up in the systi m. The safest and best way to avoid colds is to sleep in a room with the windows wide open and to remain nut of doors every flay, no matter vvliat may bo tin* weal tier, for at least two hours, preferably with some kind of exercise, if oo more than walking. One should not sit flown to rest while tin* feet are wet or the clothing damp. A person may go with the clothing wet through to tlie skin all day if he but keeps moving. Exercise keeps up the circulation and prevents taking cold. The physiologic care of colds is the prevention of the occurrence. The per son who does not carry around an over supply of alimentation in his system and furthermore secures a purified cir culation by strict, sanitary cleanliness, thus placing himself in a positive con dition, is immune to colds. A starving man cannot take cold. A careful diet would exclude the use of ail narcotics and all food that is not thoroughly appropriated. An overfed person is worse off than one who is un derfed. because the overfed body is taxed to dispose of what cannot be ap propriated and. when not properly dis posed of, remains only to be an element of danger.—Science of Health. Poisonous anti llurnilcHs Sunken. There is a certain physiological dif ference between the poisonous and harmless snakes which exists very plainly in their manner of dentition. All snakes are objects of aversion aud dread to mankind, so much so that to be bitten by a snake has at times been so fearful to the victim as to have pro duced death although the snake was harmless. Such is the instinctive dread with which these reptiles are thought of that it may be desirable to have some easy mode of distinguishing the one kind from the other. This distin guishing characteristic is afforded by the teeth. In ul! poisonous snakes there are only two rows of teeth, the fang or fangs being arranged either within the two rows or outside of them. The harmless snakes have four distinct rows of teeth, and when the bite shows this kind of wound and not any single deeper or larger puncture there need be no apprehension. Walking; For Mnlurim. Obstinate cases of malaria that have Withstood the ocean voyages, mountain heights and quinine dosing are said to have been conquered by systematic and continued walking. VVhat the malarial patient wants most to do is to sit in doors, nurse his aches and pains or to lie down aud doze. Advocates of the walking cure maintain that fresh air is an antidote not only to the malaria it self. but to the blues, which usually accompanies it. Their advice to the sufferer Is to dress up warmly if the weather is damp or rainy and go out to walk. Wear flannel next to the skin, stout shoes aud simple hat. If it is warm, dress lightly, but carry a wrap to throw around the shoulders against drafts and too rapid cooling off. When one comes to think of it, there are few maladies on earth that fresh air and moderate exercise are not good tor. | The Spectroscope. Originally the spectroscope was ap plied only to chemistry, and in that limited field proved itself au invalu able aid in accurate analysis. By bold ing in a Bunsen flame a platinum wire moistened by contact with the skin the presence of a few grains of salt swal lowed a few minutes previously can be detected with the spectroscope. In deed. so wonderfully refined is the work of the spectroscope chemist that he can discover In a substance the pres ence of one tliree-ruilHontb of a grain of metal.

The first fatal duel fought in what is now the United States was upon Boston Common, between Benjamin Woodbridge and Henry Phillips, on tlie evening of Juiy 1728. These young men had quarreled over cards at the Itoyal Exchange tavern in King street, now State street, and under tlie influ ence of drink had agreed to settle their differences with swords in the public grounds above named. They met at a little after 8 o’clock in tlie evening, and Woodbridge was mortally wounded and was found dead the following morning. Both were gentlemen of good social position. Phillips was a brother of Giiiaui Phillips, who married Marie, the sister of Peter Faneuil, the builder of Boston’s famous hall. Woodbridge had not completed his twentieth year. He was a young merchant who had re cently been admitted to business as a partner with Jonathan Sewall, one of the most aetive merchants of tlie place. Henry Phillips, a young graduate of the college of Cambridge, was about four years older than Woodbridge, hav ing at tlie time of this melancholy af fair completed his twenty-third year. Woodbridge was the; sou of a gentle man of some distinction in Barbados, one of the magistrates there, who had formerly been settled in the ministry as pastor in Groton. Conn. The place of meeting was on the ris ing grounds of the Common, not far from tlie great elm, near where in the olden time a powder house stood. Small swords were used. No one but themselves participated. Woodbridge fell mortally wounded and died on the spot before the next morning. Phillips was slightly wounded and at mid night, by the aid of Ills brother Gillam and Peter Kaneuil, of famous memory, made his escape to the Sheerness, a British man-of-war then lying in the harbor, and before the sun of the next morning had fully discovered to inter ested friends the miserable result of the unfortunate meeting he was on his way to France, where lie died in less than a year of grief and a broken heart.—United Service Review.

Murk Twain Mitrwd the Iloat. The success achieved by Mark Twain during bis boating days on the Missis sippi river was due not only to the fact that he was u skillful pilot, but that lie iWas an earnest one as well. A man who knew Mr. Clemens In those days told how the genial humorist once missed his boat. Instead of inventing an excuse, as many of his companions did. he reported to his superior officer as follows: “My boat left at 6:10. I arrived at the landing at 6:20 and could not catch it” Ayers Losing your hair? Coining out by tfie combful? And doing nothing? No sense in that!

Numerous instances of tlie red man’s quickness of wit are related by those who have had dealings with him. A Canadian chief was looking idly on while some Englishmen were hard at work improving property newly acquir ed from tlie dusky tribe. “Why don’t you work?” asked the su pervisor of the chief. “Why you no work yourself?” was the rejoinder. "1 work head work.” replied the white man, touching his forehead. “But come here ami kill this calf for me. aud I’ll give you a quarter.” The Indian stood still for n moment, apparently deep in thought, and then he went off to kill the calf. “Why don’t you finish your job?” presently asked the supervisor, seeing the man stand with folded arms over the uuskinued, undressed carcass. “You say you give me quarter to kill calf.” was the reply. “Calf dead. Me want quarter.” The white man smiled and handed the Indian an extra coin to go on with the work. “How is it.” asked the Englishman one day after a series of such one sided dealings, "that you so often get the better of me?” “1 work head work.” solemnly replied the man of the woods. A white trader once succeeded In selling a large quantity of gunpowder to one of tliis tribe on the nwirance that it was n new kind that the white man used for seed and if sown in es pecially prepared loam would yield an amazing crop. Away went the Indian to sow ids powder and 4n his hope of making money from his fellows was careful not to mention his onterpHs ■■ When at last, however, he realized hov be had been duped lie held his toll: i for a year or more until the trickst had completely forgotten the oceu renee. Then tie went to his hoaxer’ store and bought goods on ore; amounting to a little more (hail tl price of the planted gunpowder. I! had the reputation of a good payer, ami his scheme worked easily. When sot tling day came, the creditor called promptly. “Right,” snid the Indian slowly - “right, but my powder not yet sprout ed. Me pay you when me reap him." CURED BY SARCASM. A LMuin In the One of Simple Term* In tetter Writing. A few months ago the son of a rail way director was through his father's influence given a position of some im portance on a large railway. He was. fresh from Cambridge, und in the or ders which he from time to time issued to the men under him always made use of the longest, most unusual words. This habit led to some rather expen sive blunders, and. the matter coming before the general manager, he wrote the young official the following letter: “In promulgating your esoteric eogi tations and in articulating your super ficial sentimentalities and amicable phil osophical or psychological observations beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your conversational communication possess a clarified conciseness, a com pacted eomprehenslblenesH. a eoales cent consistency and a concatenated cogency. Eschew all conglomeration of flatulent garrulity. Jejune babblement and asinine affectation. Let jy our ex temporaneous descuntings and unpre meditated expatiation have intelligibil ity and veracious vivacity, without rbo domontude or thrasonical bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic pro fundity. ventrlloquial verlwisity and vaniloquent vapidity. Shun double en tendre. prurient Jocosity and pestifer ous profanity, obscurant or apparent. In other words, talk plainly, briefly, naturally, sensibly, purely and truth fully. Don’t put on airs; say what you mean; mean what you say. and don't use big words.” The young official took the gentle hint and changed his style.—London Tit-Bits. t Online Knro|iP.
