KEEP WARM COLD AS AN ACTI VE
PROMOTER OF MORTALITY

opinion of many, particularly tbe young
aud stroDg and vigorous, the Winter
especially a sharp, frosty one, with plenty
of snow ia the roost healthy season of
the year. . Very fow perHong seen: to
realize the faot that oold is the condition
c! death, and that in both warm and
cold olimates it is our own unoonsoioas
effort to maintain our bodily heat at a
temperature at ninety-eight degrees that
wears us out. This temperature, called
" Wood heat," every oubio inoh of oxy
gen thai serves to vitalize our blood
must be raised by our own bodily heat
or lile caasts. Since in cold weather the
maintenance of a sufficiently elevated,
bodily temperature becomes very ofteu
n difficulty too great for our strength,
the advent of a severe Winter is rually
more to bs dreaded than a visitation of
pestilenoe. Tbe saying, " Heat ix life,
colli U death," has a striking illustration
and confirmation in the reports now
regularly submitted by Dr. Bassull to tbe
Glasgow Sanitary Committee. The death
rate rises and falls with the regularity of
the thermometer. Bo many degrees rea
beat, so many more deaths, and vice
versa. Iuoneof his fortnipbtly reports
Dr. Russell says: "Tbe death rate in
first week of the fortnight was twenty
one, in the second twenty-five. Tbe
mean temperature in the "former week
was 48 8 degrees Fahrenheit, in tbe latter
39 5 degrees." He attributed the low
rate of the first week to the high mean
temperature of the preceding fortnight,
which was 47.03 degrees and adds:
"This is a good illustration of a law
which we frequently observe in these
reports of temperature and death rates
that a week of low temperature produces
arise in mortality the week following."
In our olimate it would probably be
difficult to find a more frequent oause of
serious ailments than taking oold. What
ever weak place we have, whatever con
stitutional riiaorder fi be subject to,
oold will surely discover. We take cold
because our vitality is too low to ward
off the effects of the reduoed temperature
around us.
As a matter of first importance, then,
to resist tbe cold and various derange
ments of the system consequent, it is
necessary by proper nutrition to main
tain our animal heat; second to retain,
this beat by a sufficient quantity of cloth
ing; third, to regulate witn care tbe tem
perature of tbe air we breathe. Contrary
to the opinion current among lovers of
cold weatber, a fire in a bedroom in the
Winter is oheaper and better than a
Dootor's bill; for owing to our inactive
condition dnring sleep, tbe circulation
of the vitalizing blood is both slow and
imperfeot, aud hence tbe danger of tak
ing oold by breathing oold air ia greatly
increased. A cold is me Beginning ot
everything that is bad. It any one oon
soions of having caught one feels oold
chills creeping over the baok, let bim
apply a mustard plaster to the bottom of
toe spine and lower part of the back at
once, and by so doing he may avert a
dangerous illness before it is too late
and medical aid can be procured. It
should never be forgotten that " Heat is
life cold is death.
SrjlBO Tunnel. A new stock was
oalled yesterday, for the first time, on
the New York Stock Exobange list, under
tbe name of tbe Sutro Tunnel. Quite a
number of thousands of shares seemed
to change hans, whether from the right
hand to the left of tbe same party we
don't undertake to, say. Tbe oapital
stock of the company is said to be from
twenty to forty mulious bo said
some member of the Stock Exobange
who was seeking for information on tbe
suojeot. At any rate be learned that
there was enough shares to go around
'or tbe present, and render a oorner in
tbe stock not very probable for some
time at least. The par value of the
shares is ten dollars, and the prioe at
which, the sales were made yesterday
was abont 48? per oent.. or fi-1.75 per

remembered, is the great bore that has
threatened so loDg to revive tbe hopes of

MARK TWAIN'S PRINTING DAYS.
One Compositor who worked on the
News then still lives, says a writer in the
St. Louis Spirit, and bas made consider
able noise in tbe world. We allude to
Samuel Clemens, better known as Mark
Twain. He was about 21 or 22 years of
age, very good looking, and most im
pressed with that; fact. He wag tbe
laziest mortal tbat ever "soldiered " on
the book. Ia that year the Crimean
war and tbe printers were raging the
latter over tbe long diabolical combina
tion of consouants tbat made tbe Rus
sian offloers' Dames, When a steamer
arrived at New York tbe telegraph would
tire these infernal names over tbe wires
until tbe tops of the posts were shattered
to pieces. Bam Clemens nsed to say
thai tbe telegraph operator never wrote
(beer namcg--wben be came to a hard
name hi jask' took np a pepper-box of
blacu sand and shook it over the man
uscript. Sam was known to dwell for
15 minutes over a Russian name, and
then snatch a few z's, three &'s, and
then fencing them ic with an ! he would
go ahead until the first galley came
around to allow bim a rest. He oooupied
a stand in tbe oorner of the room wbioh
had been christened Sebastopol.
As we havo said, Sam was lazy. He
had a peouliar manner of drawing out
bis words that was irresistibly oomioal
when relating a joke, and be was eter
nally relating a joke or something "that
reminds me of." But he was good heart
ed and good naturcd and muoh liked.
One hot morning in June, Sam did not
make bis appearance until about nine
o'clook, when he ought to have been
there promptly at seven. Tbe foreman
was excited and angry, and as Sam came
sauutering slowly ia, fanning himself
with a straw hat, Bailey said: "Ham, if
you can't get here before this time of
day you needn't come at all." Sam
leauod upon the imposing stone with
both elbows, and drawled out: " Well,
John, I Ruess I won't oomeag'n; 'tis
bot!" and he slowly meandered out
of tbe composing room. He got a birth
on the river, beoame a pilot and Mark
Twain. The world knows tbe rest. He
used to drop in occasionally when in
port, and on one occasion he insisted on
his brother Henry, who worked in the
offioe, accompanying him down the
river. Tbey were blown np and Henry
killed; Mark with his usual luck escaped
uninjured.
Some doubts may exist as to the mor
ality of the methods of Miss or Mrs.
Mary A. Maples (as the case may be),
but certainly there can be no difference
of opinion respecting her ingenuity.
Brother Jonathan is proverbially sharp,
but Brother Jonathan bas a sister who
" knows a thing or two, I reckon." One
Edwurd F. Chase a few years ago made
bis debut in Norwiob, Ct., as a merchant.
He failed in business, but he oaptured
tbe heart of the fair Mi-m Mary, and
despite tbe opposition of the Manles,
tree and branches, they were married.
In the course of time the stern parent
died, and of bis ample fortune Mary
could not have a son unless she separated
from ber huabaud in tbe event pf whiob
proper provision was mad for her in the
will. Now Edwurd and Mary were
beginning to feel tbe pangs of poverty,
and tbey longed for the loaves and the
fishes. They made a virtue of neoessity.
Suddenly Mary disoovered tbat Edward
was horrible, perfectly awful, so to speak.
Sbe applied to the courts of her native
State for relief, and obtained a divorce
from bim on tbe ground of "intolerable
cruelty." Then she shook the deoree in
tbe faoe of ber brotbers'and the executors
of her father's will, and straightway she
was placed in possession of houses and
lands and bank stock and money, and
the wolf ran away from her door. This
fairly settled, Bhe got married again.
And so did Edward. And their second
courtship laated only two days, and tbeir
seoona marriage was private, even as, the
erst naa been. Thus it is that Mary bas
the money and the man too. N. Y
Graphic.
Then and Now. Two years ago she
graduated, and her essay was upon "tbe
glorious future." " Let us strive to em
ulate the example of tbe nobility of past
generations, she said, "and let our
aspirations direct us towards the acoom
plisbment of exalted deeds, and our
reward shall be in tbn true, tbe beauti
ful, and the good. Yesterday she lay
on the sofa reading tbe last insipid novel;

Tbe Binghamton (N. Y.) Republican,
of Nov. 22d snvs: Dana Hyde, a lad aged
twelve years, was found hanging dead
from a rafter in the toft of a barn in
Oswego village this morning. Of late
Dana evinced a great dread of attending
school, and had been heard to say tbat
be would rather throw himself nnder a
railroad train than go to aohool another
day. On tbe inquest held this afternoon
it was brodght out that be had been in
the babit of rending dime novels and
weekly story papers.

Heine and tbs Vkncs of Milo. A
touching story is told of Heine's last
walk in tbe boulevards, from wbioh he
went home to the death in life be was
doomed to undergo for many years. It
was in May, 1848, a day of revolution.
"Masses of people rolled along the
streets of Paris, driven about by tbeir
tribunes as by storms. Tbe poet half
blind, hall lame, dragged himself on his
stiok, tried to extricate himself from the
deafning uproar and fled into the Louvre
olose by. He stepped into tbe rooms of
tbe palace in tbat troubled time nearly
empty and found himself on tbe ground
floor, in the room in which tbe anoient
gods and goddesses stand. Suddenly he
stood before tbe ideal of beauty, the
smiling, entrancing goddessess, tbe mir
aole of an unknown master, the Venus
of Milo. Overoems, agitated, stricken
through, almost terrified, at her aspeot,
tbe stick man staggered baok till he sank
into a seat, and tears hot and bitter
coursed down hisoheeka. Tbebeautifnl
lips of tbe goddess, which appear to
breathe, smiled with her wonted smile
at the unhappy victim." Heine says
himself, in a letter to the father of Las
Belle: "Only with pain oould I drag my
self to tbe Louvre, and I was nearly ex
hausted when I entered the lofty hall
where tbe blessed goddess of beauty, our
dear lady of Milo, stands on her pedestal.
At her feet I lay a long time, and I wept
bo passionately that a stone must have
bad oompaBsion on me. Therefore, the
goddess looked down pityingly upon me,
yet at the same time inoonsolably, as
though she would say, 'See you not tbat
I have no arms, and tbat, therefore, I
oan give you no help?' "From the
Western.
Tbe Abyssinians out the whole of the
flesh off the bones of the elephant into
thongs, like the reins of a bridle, and
bang these like festoons upon brandies
of trees till they become perfectly dry,
without salt, and then then tbey lay
them up for tbeir provisions in the sea
son of tbe rains.
