Throat Troubles in Winter.
BY P. N, 1'ATTLRSON, M T!,
The habit whioh many people have of al•
ways mufllang up the throat during the
Winter, is a mistake, It not unfrequently
happens that those people .commence tide
prao ice early in the fall, and continue to do
so until late in the epring. The result ie,
that if they should happen to leave off their
scarf or muffler for a few hours, they are very
likely to take cold, The wearing of this
additional and unnecessary nook covering
tends only to reader the neck and throat
more soneitive, and consequently entails a
greater liability to take cold. Even with
the severe weather which we sometimes
have, the days are few when it is necessary
to "bunch% up" the neck and head, as many
do eve ,ay throughout the winter. The
miatake led first, in commencing to wrap up
too early in the fall A little promo of
judioioaa hardening of the throat and neck
would soon enable one to continue until well
into the winter, without the employment of
such additional covering. The turning up
of the coat Dollar; or a light handkerchief,
would be found to be auifioient.
Throat troubles are due not so much to
climate, au to the oars, or rather the neglect
of attention to the rules of health, which
should govern the daily life of every person,
But one thing should always be remember-
ed, and that is, all mufflers or wrap should
at once be removed fron the neck upon en-
tering the house, ohnroh, lecture room, con-
cert hall, etc ; in fact, whenever one goes
from out doors into a ty artificially heated
room. The term throat disease oomprisra
e large number of affections of that organ
and its immediate connecting structures,
nearly all of whioh aro to a greater or less
extent, dependent upon a catarrhal inflam-
mation of the mucous membrane of those
parts. Now catarrh, when located there, or
in come other part, of the body, isalways
due to a succession of sudden changes to
which the body is subjected in one way or
another. Once alone will not usually do it,
but let people get well warmed up, and then
suddenly expose themselves to the cold, and
it will not take many such times to. estab-
lish a catarrh of throat and lungs, which it
may be a difficult thing to eradicate entirely
from the system.
We hear a great deal said about the air
in certain localities being "too strong" for
weak lunge. But the fault is not in the air,
but in the ability of one who has weak
lungs to withetand that, which to a strong,
healthy and robust person, would bo only
what a vigorous nature absolutely requires.
The trouble ha too many people are like hot-
house planta, They allow themselves to
grow into the habit, by which they are only
comfortable in a room at SO ° . One writer
has aptly remarked that pare air. and plenty
of it, night as well as day, even if it be damp
and cold, salt -laden, providing it is not per-
mitted to fall in,draughts on the parson, is
ono of the bust-`-phylactlea against taking
cold, r.
Manypeople a oubled more or less of
the time with hoareenc ss. In this connec-
tion it may be incidentally remarked that
horseradish is a most excellent remedy for
this trouble, and usually affords speedy re-
lief as roan as it is used. The root is to be
eaten green, and not after it has dried. An.
other most excellent remedy for throat
troubles, and one which is within reach of
every one, is common salt. Those people
who use a great deal of salt are less subject
to dryness and lnfluomation of the throat,
than those whotela lot, A very good way
to use it is to pe re it in the form of a
gargle. Take ea/tearing teaspoonful of salt
in a tumbler of water, and gargle three or
four times a day. It is well to avoid going
out in the cold kir fifteen er twenty minutes
after using it. '
Many do not know to what dangers one is
liable who has a severe sore throat. I do
not mean diphtheretio sore throat. but the
common non-specific sore throat. The dan-
ger to be feared, and consequently to be
avoided, is ulceration. If this takes place,
the case becomes one of a serious nature.
Prompt care and attention will generally
pevent this additional and serious compli-
cation. For dryness of the throat, a small
piece of muriate of ammonia, ten or fifteen
grains every two or three hours, will be
found very serviceable, It isjbest taken dry
in the month and allowed to slowly diaeolvo.

Well, well, said Mrs, Cateon, putting
aside a newspaper and turning to her hus-
band, "apatr of earrings caused the Bur-
mese wee, I never heard of anything so
strange. '
" Oh," said MIr. Odeon, "I have hoard of
stranger tide go."
"Noasenee."
" Well, I have, and I'll give you an ex-
ample. Ono night in Boston a young man,
meeting an ecgnaintance, said : ' Como,
let's have a drink.' I never was in Boston,
but; that remark brought about our mar-
riago," '
"Why,. George," exolaimed Mrs, Cateon'
"you are foolish. Neither of us were ever
in Boston. You must be toeing your mind."
" Tell you what I'll do ; I promised to get
you a new cloak, didn't I?"
"Yes,"
" Well, now I'll bet you the cloak that I
can prove my assertion."
"Ali right."
" If 1 succeed, you don't get the cloak,"
"I underetand,"
" Well, one night in Boston about ten
years ego, a young man, meeting a friend,
asked him to come out and have' a drink,
The friend, a drug clerk, did so. He took
several drinks and got drunk. That settled
it,"
"Settled what?"
"The foot of our marriage."
" How can you be so foolish ?"
" Never mind, I'll explain. The drug
clerk got drunk and , went to the store.
Shortly afterward a servant girl entered
and handed him a prescription. In ,putting
it up he used morphine instead of quinine.
The girl went away, and delivered the medi-
cine to Mrs. Potter who took it and died."
"Oh, what's the use of prolonging this
foolishness ?"
" Hold on. The death of that woman
drew you and metcloser together than we
ever were before."
"We were not acquainted with each other
ten years ago."
" That is very true, but wait. Mr, Pot-
ter, the lady's husband, was almost crazed
by grief. He could stay in New York no
longer, so he came down to Kentucky and,
after awhile, went into business. Don't see
any light yet, do you?"
•' Oh, hush."
" Wait a minute. no nad not been in
business long until I met him, He took a
fanny to me and gave me employment,
After I had been with him several years, he
sent mo to Arkansaw. I had been in this
State but a short time until I met you. Sum-
mary : If the friend had not asked the drug
clerk to drink on one certain ocoaeion he
would not have got drunk, If he hadn't
been drunk he would not have made% mis-
take in filling the prescription, and had he
not made a mistake, Mrs. Potter would not
have been killed, and had ehe not died, Potter
would not have left New York, and had he
not left that city I should not have met
him, and had I nor gone into business with
him—"
"Oh, for goodness sake, hush. You are
enough to drive anybody crazy."
She arose and left the room. Her husband
mused: "I11 make her another bet. I'll
bet she doesn't get that cloak. I have al-
ways thought that the logic ot events failed
to meet with proper appreciation in this
country,"
Aspiration.
A fluid often accumulates in one or
more cavities of the body, causing uch
harm by its pressure, and frequently result-
ingm
in death. It is sofnetimes due to lnfiam-
mation,;which increases the natural eecretion
of the parts, and sometimes to obstructions
of the blood -vessels, causing theitrdistention
and a leakage, or exudation, of the watery
parts of the blood through their - walls. The'
fluid is generally thin, limpid and colorlesd,'1
or slightly yellow, or, more rarely,' gelati-
nous and turbid. When it is due to inflam-
motion, it tends to become purulent and
fetid.
A secreting membrane covers the lunge,'
and, turning back, lines the sides of t the
°hest, time forming a closed cavity. Asim -
filar one lines every closed cavity' of the'
body, and aenretes a thin, lubricating . fluid
whioh prevents all lfrletion between edjaoont
parte. This fluid Is called serum. `All cav-
Rico which opals into the outer world—the
mouth, stomach, intestines, bladder, eto.—
are lined with a membrane that secretes mu•
cue, a thicker fluid. a.

PUTTING THINGS AWAY.
THE MAN.
Man puts things oat of the way when-
ever the necessity of so doing presents itself
to him. For example, he finds that his
room is in a disorderly state. Too many
padre of boots make themselves painfully
obvious ; there are more discarded collars
on the mantel than propriety would dic-
tate ; and the mixture of cigar ashes,
clothes brushes, and gloves on his•table
has reached a stage of confusion which dis-
pleases him, He resloves to put things in
order and put out of the way whatever is
plainly adapted to the process. According-
ly he crowds the superfluous boots under
the sofa, thrusts smaller articles of personal
apparel into the drawers, empties the cigar
ashes and bits of waste paper behind his
desk, and thus quickly sets hie room in
order. Now the result ot this process is
eminently satisfactory. Not only has he
put things out of the way, but he is in a
position to find them again as soon as he
Wants them. The sofa stands faithfully on
guard over the boots, and he can at any
time poke them out with a cane. The dis-
carded collars, the gloves, the pipes and the
various small article, the
into the
drawer,, remain there, and the ashes and
waste paper could be exhumed from behind
the desk, were any possible demand for
them to arise.
THE WOMAN.
Of coarse this masculine process of put-
ting things out of the way excites the de-
rision of woman. She claims it is the
worst form and last expression of disorder.
To put things away, as the art is practised
by women, is equivalent to concealing them
more or lees completely.
The desire to put things away amounts in,
most women to a passion. Ceriously enough
it is always the things of other people -her
husband or her children—that she puts
away. Her own she wisely keeps where
they are handy ; and she resents the
suggestion, no matter where they may
he, they can ever be regarded as ob-
jects All other things, s on the
outlea.
'ec of
� top g ,
other hand, are, in her opinion, always out
of place provided they are visible. Her
chief object in life is to put them away
where no one can soe them, and her great-
est happiness is attained when she has put
them away ao securely that she herself can-
not remember where they are. Books and
papers of a kind which a man is apt to need
at any moment are always put away by
women of eager enthusiasm. Winter cloth-
ing is put away in spring with such auction
that the owner is convinced that it has been
stolen. In short there is nothing that
woman will not gladly and effectually put
away if it belongs exclusively to a man.
Two men called up the telegraph operator
at East Weymouth, Mans., recently, and
got him to go to the depot at midnight' in
order to send a telegram. As ho entered
the station the men drew revolvers and de.
mended the money in the safe, knowing it
temporarily contained a large amount.
Quick as a flash the operator whipped out a
pistol and " got the drop upon the would

. Jatik's Raccoon.
We have, a raccoon I We• have had, him.
.two weeks',.' He • -is halfrABob'e, and , half
mine.
Mr. Brownhill caught him and tamed
him, and then gave him to ue,
Papa says he is quite a superior man, and
I think so too: (Mammo says I must explain
that I mean Mr. Brownhill,)
The raccoon is a perfect beauty ; gray,
with blank rings on his tail, and hie tail is
a great bushy tail ; and some blaok stripes
on his body,, and a aharp.polnted, blank
nose, and such' bright oyes 1 They are black,
too, and they twinkle all the time. They
twinkle so that Alice (she is one of my tis•
ter)) -says —
" Twinkle, twinkle, little coon 1
Hew'your voice is out of tune.
Every time I hear you speak,
It is just a horrid squeak."
He does squeaks but ,don't think it's hor-
rid, any more than the noise her kitten
makea.
Well, he belongs to Bob end me together,
as I told you ; so one week he lives at our
house, and the next week he lives at Bob's,
and we are going to teach him a new trick
every week.
It is Bob's week now, and I miss him
very much, though of course I see him every
da He knows some tricks already.
'You give him some snow, and he sits up
and mak ea it into snowballs, patting it with
his funny little black hands (of course they
are paws, but they really look like hande),
till he makes it quite round and hard, and
then he toile it about, or else he throws it
away, and then looke at you to give him
Some more,
He doesn't Iike to have his feet wet, so
when they get wet, he pate them against
the wall until they are dry.
He did that in mamma's room one day,
and left the marks of his feet all over the
pretty pink paper ; and mamma whipped
him. But I don't suppose he knew that
the paper was pink, or pretty either.
I love him very much, and he sits on my
shoulder, for he is a young one, and not
very big yet.
You cught to see Tom, our great yellow
oat, when Coou pulls his tail 1 He humps
himself up and growls, and gets very angry.
Youseehe knows it isn't a cat, and he
i
knows t ian't a dog, but he doesn't know
what it is.
Bob Imo just been here, after I had writ-
ten that ; and oh 1 what do you think Coon
has been doing at hie house ?
Well, you see, he likes to go to sleep on
the windowsill is the kitchen, where the
sun shines in. Bob left him there, sound
asleep, all curled up in a hall, with his tall
all over his nose ; that is the way he sleeps,
and he looks so funny, you can't think !
By-and•by Bob's mother came into the
kitchen, and she saw that the door of the
pie -cupboard, where she keeps the pies,
was open. So she went to shut it ; and she
looked in, and there was Coon, sitting on
the top shelf, with a pie in bis hands 1
When he saw her, he dropped the pie,
and it broke all to pieces on the floor, and
he jumped right over her head, and ran off
as fast as he could run.
And Mrs. Taylor screamed, and Bob
came in to see what was the matterand
Coon ran right between his legs and tripped
him up, and he fell down on top of the pie.
And then Mrs. Taylor looked at the oth-
er pies, and he had patted every one of
them all round the edge, and there were the
marks of his feet all over them,
There were twelve pies ; some of them
were squash, and some were custard, and
some were cranberry.
She was very angry, and Bob shut up
Coon in the wood -closet and Dame over to
toll me about it, and 1 don't think I e ve
laughed so much in all my life.

and put a good fence around it. Then put
a big insurance for double its value on it,
and some dark and windy night shove a

Always postpone threshing until a propI-
tious time, If you've got a grudge against

Then jump onto him with a club and thresh

Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In -
A lady of intelligence and observation has
remarked :
"I wish I could impress upon the minds
of the girls that the chief end of woman is
not to marry young."
If girls could only be brought to believe
that their chances for a happy marriage
were better after 25 than before, there
would be much less misery in the world
than there now is. To be sure, they might
not have sc many opportunities to marry as
before, but as they do not seed to marry
but one at a time, it is necessary that that
one should be satisfactory. As a girl grows
older, if she thinks at all, she certainly be-
comes more capable of judging what would
make her happy than when younger. How
many girls of 20 would think of marrying
the man they would gladly have married at
16?
At 30, a woman who is somewhat Inde
pendent, and not anxious, over-anxious, to
marry, is much harder to please and more
careful in her choice than one at 20. There
is good reason for this. Her mind has im-
proved with her years, and she now looks
Beyond mere appearances in judging men.
She is apt to ask if this man who is eo very
polite in company is really kind-hearted.
Do his polite actions spring from a happy,
genial i.ature, or is his attractive demeanor
put on for the occasion and laid off at home
as he lays off his coat ?
A very young girl takes It for granted
that men are always as she sees them in so-
ciety—polite, friendly, and on their good
behavior. If she marries early the man
who happens to please her fancy, she learns
to her sorrow that In nine cases out of ten, a
man in society and a man at home are wide-
ly different beings, Five years, at that pe-
riod of life, produce a great change In opin•
ions and feelings.
We frequently dome to detest at 25 what
we admired at 16, We advance from the
taffy -candy and peanut age to the era of
gumdrops and marron glaces, and even in la-
ter years lose our yearnings.
