How Not to Take Cold.
Some persons are subject to fre
quent colds, while others seldom, if
ever have a cold. You will find that
the latter take good care of them
selves. They take a shower or cold
sponge bath every day in a warm
roofn, avoid over heated rooms, sleep
with a window open or partly open,
avoid excesses, over eating, becoming
over heated and then chilled and get
ting the feet wet. Then, when thev
feel the first indication of a cold,
they take Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy without delay and it is soon
over.

FITTED WITH ENEMY'S LEG
Confederate Veteran Has Probably
Unique Memorial of the Conflict
Between the States.
Many interesting incidents of the
Civil war were brought out in con
nection with the recent grand Con
federate reunion In Richmond. One
of the most remarkable, and an ab
solutely true story, is that of a “Yan
kee’s” artificial leg which came into
the possession of a Confederate offi
cer.
Marching in the parade the other
day was rapt. J. N. Bullard, wear
ing n leg flint originally belonged to.
Colonel Daldgren of the northern
army, and which Captain Ballard lias
been using for approximately sixty
years.
Colonel Daldgren, after losing a leg
in one of the earlier battles of the
Civil war, replaced It with u costly
artificial one. lie later fell mortally
wounded in a skirmish at White’s
tavern, near Richmond, in 1864, at the
hands of .1. E. It. Stuart’s men. His
artificial leg by chance fell into the
hands of some of Mosby’s men, who
presented it to Captain Ballard, an
officer of Mosby’s command, who also
had lost u leg in the war. The leg
was a perfect tit, and ever since Cap
tain Ballard lias, wearing it and
probably will carry it with him to his
grave.
“Dead” Mail Would Cover Town.
Dead, or misdirected, letiei'f. re
ceived by post offices throughout the
United Stales during one year would
completely cover a fair-sized town.
•Not a blade of gloss or a speck of
ground would be seen if the letters
were laid flat on the ground.
During the fiscal year Just recently
ended, there were 19,000,000 letters
sent to the dead letter office through
carelessness in addresses. This
amount is reported virtually every
year, it is said.
The dead letters, laid side ly side,
would cover 1,979 lots, each 20 by
100 feet. There would lie some 8,-
058,.'188 square feet entirely covered
by mail.
Mother Hen Proud of Freak.
A chicken which is quadruped was
hatched out among a lot of other nor
mal chickens in a New York man's
poultry yard. The uncanny bird has
its legs arranged so as to he able to
run along on all four, just like
a cat, ami is apparently healthy and
is peeking away with un appetite as
good as that of any of its two-legged
brothers and sisters. The strange
quadruped is a Red Wyandotte and
the mother hen is strutting round it
clucking with pride at having hatched
out a marvel.
