raids. Tteir ProDer Treatment and Cure.
Commonlv, the first symptom of a "cold
is a chillv feeling, accompanied by sneez
ing or a tickling in the throat. The most
frequent of external causes are draughts,
wet or cold feet, or going from hot rooms
suddenly into cold ones. More frequently
there is an inner cause namely the stagna
tion of the blood caused by constipation or
biliousness. Almost the first symptom is
the feeling of cold in the feet and increased
discharge from the nose.
No one ever takes cold unless consti
pated, or exhausted, and having what we
call mal nutrition, which is attended with
impoverished blood and exhaustion of nerve
fece. Tonics consisting of large portions
of alcohol, iron or cod liver oil do not bring
the desired changes in the blood, because
thev do not enter the system and are not
ah--mi bod imo the blood, with the exception
tA the alcohol, which shrivels up the red
bl-.nd corou sales when it does come in
eonuct with them. We recommend the
botiuieal extract of Dr. Pierce because it
co- :ns no alcohol, and offers a reasonable
am: scientific method of treating the blood,

SCREEN OF POSTAGE STAMPS.
PVUaAelphla Man Makes Qveer Cue
of 40,000 of Canceled Got
ernmtnt Token.
A most Interesting screen composed
of about 40,000 postage stamps, is on
tfce point of completion by a Philadel
Ifilan, says the Philadelphia Record. It
ra of four panels. The handsome frame,
with ledge on top shelf, is of quartered
oak, the dark, English weathered vari
y. This is in rich contrast with the
Vmnels,' which are completed entirely
of canceled postage stamps of every de
nomination from ?50 to something like
a tenth of a cent. Not, only is every na
tion represented, but there is a good va
riety for each nation, and odd as well
tt new Issues are arranged in wonder
fr.J variety. The peculiar colors used
in postage stamps lend themselves ad
rar'rtbly :nd grow still more mellow In
a few years.
C. E. Sehermerhorn, who is having it
made, says the stamps are stuck on
coropo board, which is both light and
strong. It is alike on both sides, seven
feat in height, each of the inserted pan
els measuring six feet by two feet and
a half. In spite of the fact that very
many of the stamps were collected by
friends, the screen has cost about $100.

The animal par excellence, which
1.he hunter, the amateur Arctic trav

in Lf-5-He's Monthly. The reason for
i .his is the -.tagniiicent trophy which
great white skin makes. This
ifcflinp was no less strong centuries
ago than it is now, for we read that
"in' of the early Icelandic sea rovers
n Greenland quarreled with and
kiHtd his bosom companion because
he had ftlnin a large bear, instead of
leaving that honor to his chief. With
the modern repeating rifle the bear
stands no chance against the hunter,
no matter under what conditions they
may meet, and if he is hunted in the
native way, with the assistance of
Oogs, there is hardly more excite
ment than in killing musk-oxen, ex-
pt for the wild, helter-skelter dash
vr the ice to overtake the animal
after the dogs strike the hot scent.

DISCOVER NEW SHAD
Inhabits the Ohio River and Firs
Caught by Accident.
Glyen a 8lwtia Name by th Gov
ernment ConimUalos and
JUtty Become- Valuable a
an Article of Food.
A new species of shad has been dis
covered in this country. It inhabits the
Ohio river, and ha been named by the
authorities of the United States fish
commission at Washington "ALowoa
Ohiensis."
From time to time the fish commis
sion had. heard of the catching of shad in
the Mississippi bain, and as long ago
as 1872 Prof Baird called attention to
the occurrence of shad in the Ouachita
river in Arkansas, But it was. not un
til recently that the members of the
fish commission procured specimens of
the fish, which when examined was
found to be a new species of shad, dif:
fering in many important particulars
from shad as taken from the North
river and from other waters on the
Atlantic seaboard, says a Washington
report.
These new shad' hare been caught by
means of seines light-leaded so that
they would fish the upper few feet of
water rather than the bottom. This
method of fishing was first adopted in
order to get the "spoonbill cat," which,
when running, swims close to the sur
face. When the nets were hauled in it
was found that the shad had been cap
tured at the same time. The two spe
cies of fish appear to run together. The
principal seining ground has been near
Louisville, below the falls of the Ohio
and between Rock island and the In
diana shore-
All the known facte regarding the
distribution and habits of the Ohio
shad indicate that it has regular runs,
like the common shal.
Tt appears in the Missisippi on the
borders of Ooahoma County, Miss.,
about the middle of March; in the low
er Ohio about a month later (April 20),
at Louisville still a little later (April
23 to May 20), and in the Kanawha river
at Montgomery, West Va., in the lat
ter part of May.
The Ouachita, river, Arkansas, from
which shad have been reported, has its
mouth in the Red river, near the con
fluence of the latter with the Missis
sippi, more than 200 miles below Ooa
homa. and only about 200 mile from
the Gulf of Mexico. Although it has
not been proved that these shad come
up from the Gulf of Mexico, it is re
garded a3 certain that they do, and
that they are as. truly anadromous as
is the Atlantic shad.
Whether important fisheries for the
Ohio shad can be established remains
to be determined. In the first place,
it is not yet known whether the fish
is commercially abundant. It is con
sidered not at all improbable that its
apparent scarcity may be due merely
to the fact that the methods of fishing
in vogue in the Mississippi basin have
not been such as would prove effective
in the capture of shad. Oill net and
trap nets are scarcely known, and
where seines are used they are usually
leaded so as to fish the bottom, and are
hauled mostly during the daytime.
Shad might very well be present in
abundance and remain forever un
known so long as the present fishing
methods are continued.
Many plants of Atlantic shad have
been made by the United States fish
commission in thewaters of the Missis
sippi basin the first in 1874 and the
last in and although none of the
planted shad has since been received
by the fish commission for identifica
tion, and the capture of none has been
fully authenticated, it does not follow
by any means that none has survived.
It is regarded as by no means improb
able that the Atlantic shad may now
be abundant in the gulf and it tribu
tary streams, and that a thorough
investigation may establish the fact.
The spawning time of the shad in
the Ohio river is not earlier than the
10th of June. The numerous examples
seen at Louisville May 16 to 19 were
far from ripe, and it is regarded as
doubtful if any of them would have
spawned much before the middle of
June.
As an article of food the Ohio shad
does not yet seem to have appealed to
the citizens of the Mississippi valley.
Vt Louisville they sold at a low price,
the price received by the fisherman
being but two cents a pound, the same
that was paid for carp, "buffalo," and,
toothed herring. Those who are fa
miliar with the delicious Atlantic shad
and who know how to prepare it find
the Ohio species not at all inferior.
If the shad should be found to be
present in the Mississippi and its
tributaries in sufficient numbers to
justify the establishment of permanent
fisheries each spring, there is, it is be
lieved, little doubt but that it would
soon become quite as highly prized a
its near relative in the Atlantic coastal
eirtami.

loon Interests Crowd There,
A seedy individual, attired in what
had once been a stylish outfit, crowned
with a silk hat of ancient vintage,
strolled into the rear room of an Elev
enth street thirst emporium a few
nights ago and announced his presence
in such a manner that he soon had an
interested crowd of listeners, says the
Philadelphia Press.
"See that hand?" be said, displayint
ti.V grimy member, with three broken
and twisted fingers; and then adding:
"I got them when I pitched in the
Berkley (Cal.) baseball team." Then
the wrist was displayed, which showed
signs of the poor setting of a fracture.
"That broke when I played halfback
for Princeton in '93," he explained.
Growing enthusiastic over his Injuries,
he removed a shoe to display a once
broken ankle, explaining briefly that
pole vaulting at the University of Wis
consin was responsible for it, Then a
broken knee cap, which could do
strange contortions, was exhibited, fol
lowed by a fractured collarbone and
rib, each injury being connected with
the name of a well-known educational
institute. Warming up under the in
fluence of several free drinks, the fel
low recited snatches from one of Cicero's
orations, and followed this up with oth
er liguistic stnntt, to the great admira
tion of his auditors, whom he left won

WHEN THE FUSE BLOWS.
Ho Occailon for Alarm la Vset It
ProTM Motor's Safety The
Device Explained.
The "blowing" of a fuse in an elec
tric street car, which fills the average
passenger with alarm, simplyindicates
that a safety device has proved relia
ble and that a danger of injury to the
motor has been averted by it, says the
New York Herald. The current which
will flow through a motor when it ib
standing still is in almost all cases far
in excess of that which the motor is
designed to carry; and, indeed, in a
well designed motor a current danger
ous for the motor will be reached be
fore the motor has been stalled. The
effect of this heavy current on the mo
tor, if allowed to continue, is to heat
the windings to a dangerous degree
and destroy the insulation, possibly
setting it on fire; and it is to prevent
this occurrence, whether due to care
less handling of the car or to unex
pected causes, that the fuses are used.
A fuse is simply a short piece of wire
of such size that it will be melted by
a current which, if allowed to How
through the motor for any time, will
damage it. The melting of the fuse
opens the circuit and cuts off the cur
rent from the motor. To protect the
car the fuse is Enclosed in a fireproof
box.
When the fuse blows there is gen
erally a volatilisation of the metal of
the fuse and a slight explosion. These
explosions usually cause a report and
some smoe.
The earliest instance known of penal
ising smoking in the streets is in the
court books of the mayor of Methwold in
England. There is the following en
try on the record of the court held Octo
ber 14. 1G95: "We agree that any person
that i'e taker, smoaking tobacoa in the
street shall forfitt one shillinge for every
time so taken, and it shall be lawful for
the petty constables to distraine for the
same, for to be put to the uses above
said. ' We present Nicholas Barber for
smoaking in the street, and doo amerce
him one shilling."
