Masty persons are puzzled to under stand ' !what 1 tha terms "fourpenny," "sixjienny" and "tenpenny" mean as applied to nails. "lTouriHjnny" mean four ponnds to the thousand nails, or six penny, means six pound to the thousand, and so on. It is an old Eng lisu term, and meant at first ; "ten ponnd" nails (the thousand being un derstood), but tho old Entrlisu climicd it to "ton pen," and from that it degen erated until "ienny was substituted for "pounds." When a thousand nails weicli less than one pound they are called tacks, bradu, etc., and are reck oned by ouuees. VOX TIIK I'AUtl.

A HWRKIOIK SirlATIOt. Illock and Carter. ) A Thonmtiton man wa crossing the railroad track in that town tho other day when his foot became fastened in a 'frog. Lycry eflbrt to release himself was unavailing, and to add to the un pleasantness of the situation ho knew it to bo very near time for the train. . In vnin ho struggled the foot stuck fast. The cld drops of sweat stood out on his forehead in profusion, nud his soul turned sick with fear, as far away he heard the ominous whistle of the fas approaching engine, lie shrieked aloud for help, and tore at tho death trap with fearful frenzy. Nearer and nearer ruslgsd tho awful mass, the ground trembling and quaking beneath its weight. On, on it came while the sickening fear of death made the man's heart stand-still.' Nearer, rearer came tho moving messenger of death, and "with a diabolical shriek wen past. And then the Thomaston man thought what a fool ho was not to re member that ho was on a side track that hadn't been used for. six years. He pulled his foot out of the boot, removed that article flow its position, put it on tho end of a club, and kicked himself all the way home. .

There is auother question which should be answered first, namely: hut is a cola? The old idea of a "cold" is perhaps, nearer the truth than the modern notion of a "cold. The hypothesis would seem to be that "cold" ia something more than a cold. liecati&e it is said, "You cannot catch cold unless you ate eold." The fact, is, there are probably as many diverse oc currences grouped and confounded tin ier the generic title of cold-catching as haeases covered by thst iwpnhir term fever, which is made to comprise every rate in which the pulse is quickened and the temperature raised. By a parallel process of reasoning, "cold" ouht to bo muted to cases in which the phenom ena are those of a chill." When a persou "catches old" either of several accidents may occur: (I) He may havo such a dull of the surface as shall drive the blood iu on the internal organs and hamper some weak, or dis order and influence some diseased, vis- ; cus; (2) the cold miy o impinge the superficial nerves that serious disturb ance of the system will ensue and a morbid state bo set np: (3) the current of air which causes the cold may in fact le laden with the propagating "germs" of disease: or (4) the vitality of t he or ganism as a whole, or of some one or moro of its parts, may be so depressed by a sudden abstraction of heat that re covery may be impossible, or a severe and mischievous reaction ensue. The philosophy of prevention is obvi ously to preserve tho natural and healthy action cf the organism as a whol and c? the surface in particular while habituating the skin to licar severe alterations of temperature by judicious exposure, and natural stimulation by pure air and clean water, ami orderly habits of hygiene and health.
