The Persisttncy of Colds."
Why la It that we are so heavily
subject to colds? Other epidemic diseases-measles,
typhoid, scarlet fever,
diphtheria may get bold on us once
and there la an end; it is not usual to
hare any of them twice. , We brew In
our blood immunity. The poison of the
disease evokes In us Its proper anti
dote. Our blood cells make a sort of
natural antitoxin and keep It In stock,
so that we are henceforth protected
against the disease. A welt vaccinated
nurse, for example, works with safety
In a smallpox hospital, where the very
air is infective, but her blood is so
changed by vaccination that the small
pox cannot affect her. By scarlet fe
ver, again, we are, as it were, vacci
nated against scarlet fever. The reac
tion of our blood against the disease
Immunizes us. No such result follows
Influenza or a common cold. We brew
nothing that Is permanent We are
Just as susceptible to a later Invasion
as we were to the Invasion that is just
over. London Spectator.

The Festive Codfish.
A correspondent of the Netr York
Post says that the codfish frequents
"the tablelands of the sea." The cod
fish no doubt does this to secure as
nearly aa possible a dry, braclns at
mosphere. This pure air of the sub
marine tablelands gives to the codfish
that breadth of chest and depth of
lungs that we have so often noticed.
The glad, free smile of the codfish is
largely attributed to the exhilaration
of this oceanic altltoodlenm. The cor
respondent further saya that the "cod
fish subsists largely on the sea cherry
Those who have not had the pleasure
of seeing the codfish climb the cherry
tree in search, of food or clubbing the
rait from the heavily laden branches
with chunks of coral have missed a
very fine eight. The codfish when at
borne rambling through the submarine
forests does not wear his vest unbut
toned as be does while loafing around
the grocery stores of the United States.

Pottery and 8eceya
In the royal manufactory of pottery
at Meissen, Saxony, the work was for
merly carried on with the utmost se
crecy to prevent the processes from
becoming known elsewhere.1 The es
tablishment was a complete .fortress,
the portcullis of which was not raised
day or night no stranger being per
mitted to enter for any purpose what
ever. Every workman, even the chief
inspector, waa sworn to silence. This
lajunctlon was formally repeated every
month to the superior officers employ
ed, while the workmen had constantly
before their eyes In large letters the
warning- motto, "Be Secret Unto
Death." It was well known that any
person divulging the process would be
imprisoned for life in the castle of
Koenlgsteln. Even the king himself
when he took strangers of distinction
to visit the works was enjoined to se
crecy. One of the foremen, however,
escaped and assisted in establishing a
manufactory in Vienna, from which
the secrets spread all over Germany.
