There is a collater al cause, and a moat important one, in certain depressed conditions of the ner vous system, which is too litttle known acd appreciated. Ia healthy conditions of the nervous system, provided reason able prec tut ions are taken against cold, there is enough vitality in the organism to resist its Injurious influence. The oervous system is, in fact, the guar dian, controller and prime regulator of animat heat or body temperature, and Its slightest failure to fulfil its responsi ble duties the least relaxation of Its constant vigilance rendeis us liable to fall a rrey to cold. The following suppositious cases will afford an illustration : An individual who habitually drives about in an open conveyance, with per feet freedom from catarrh, hapn?9 on one occasion to fall asleep, Vun he is out, and the very next 'has a cold. The explanation of phenoaieon to be found in the f .,, oir .at, I. buoy uu'"h bj.vv nervous energ lowered and the ays or intoxl c.Li jre less able j0Vffects of col o'idividual w i able to withstand the done by Co 1. i Id. If we assume aerre as also in a state to that vi 5'ltion ' the time the damage sarpr simJn rid would be more serious, as the Taion by alcohol is superadded der WE,,jf sleep. It is, therefore, not siug to find that itirUusmation of lungs is frequently contracted un Q such circumstances. We instinc vely acknowledge the nervous depres sion during sleep by taking the precau tion to throw a rug over the knees be fore our forty winks on the dining room sofa. A timid woman comes home some night pali and ghastly with fright, hav ing encountered a "ghost." In a day or two she develops a cold, for which she cannot in any way account. Fear acts as a depressant to the nervous sys tem, crippling its powei3 of resisting the action of cold ; hence the phrase, shiverin with fear." Similar innumerable events of daily life tend to irritate, depress or excite the nerves, and render them unfit for maintaining the body temperature against the fluctuations of weather and climate. During these unguarded moments a trifling exposure to cold or damp is sufficient to induce catatrh. It is known that stout boots, umbrellas and wraps, though preventives in their way, are not by any means the only precautionary measures to be adopted ; that we must endeavor to strengthen the ne ivous system, if it be defective, and that when we are compelled to ex pose ourselves to cold or wet when the nerves are depressrd from temporary causes, such as fatigue. anxiety, grief, dyspepsia or ill humor, we should be es pecially careful to guard against cold. Story of a Headless .Man. "We have observed several wonderful stories of the Chisese executioners who, it is said, can strike off the heads of their victims so skillfully that the poor fellows themselves never discover their loss until a moment or two after they are dead. Vie recall to mind, however, the tory of a German execu tioner who far surpassed the Chinese in professional dexterity. Upon one oc casion it happened that a criminal had a singular itching to play at nine-pins, and he implored permission to play once more at his favorite game before be died. Then, he said, he would sub mit to his fate without a murmur. The judge, thinking there could be no harm in humoring him, granted his last prayer, and upou arriving at the place of execution he found everything prepared for the game, the pins being set up and the balls all ready. lie com menced his favorite sport with enthus iasm. After awhile the sheriff observ ing that he showed no inclination to de sist, made a sign to the executioner to etriko the fatal blow while he stooped for a bowl. The executioner did so. but with such exquisite dexterity that the cu'prlt did not notice or feei it. Ila thought, indeed, that a cold breath of air was blowing on his neck, and drawing himself back with a shrug, his head dropped forward Into his hands, lie naturally supposed that it was a bowl which he had grapstd, and seizing it firmly, rolled it at the pins. All or them fell, and the head was heard to exclaim, as it rebounded from the farth er wall : "Hurrah ! I've won the .game." A lU-inarkatde Ha son. A rem.irkiKe wa?cn has been invent ed in the far AVesr. It has four wheel, of equal tiz, and pfrhpB, live feet in diameter, on which to run. Above the hind wheels are seats for passengers and a ted for freight. In fioni of this Led atid attached to the forward axle are cog and titlar.ee wheel, and above them, on a frune is a large cog wheel, one revolution of which turns a email cog wheel fastened to the axle a dczen or more time.". The lnvfuU r's tin cry was that whf n the wagon was once set in motion its speed would be accelerated by its own motion, and that the only trouble would t in preventing It from running too fast. To keep it from runnlnrf away with Itself, across valleys and over mountains, and never stopping until worn out, Irakts were arranged to con trol it, and a sleeii:i ap&ratus was fix ed over the wheels within reach of the driver.

The subject of interfering naturally Interests a good may ownera of horses and should interest shoers to that ex tent that they will give it enough at tention to be able to overcome it in most cases. There are several reasons why horses interfere ; Oue ie particularly with colts and young horses, too much work in a given time, either on tbe road and farm, especially in hot weath er : another is, too little nourishing food for the animal that is asked to so much work in a given time r Dut the greatest reason. .(.;-ei y admit, says G. IIQojPX in the New Hamphshire Mirror. Is improper shoing, for of all the bungling that I have ever seen in shoeiDg the greatest has been in regard to interfering. When I commenced to shoe horses I was taught to pare the feet the lowest on tbe outside, tbe idea being that by o doing the ankles wonld be further to one side, so that tbe oppo site foot could pais it without bitting. The Bret case of Interfering that I bad I adopted tbe above plan. The horse struck more than ever. I then nsed shoes with the inside much thicker than tbe outside, so as to tip tbe feet out still more. The result was that tbe horse interfered more yet. I then eoncluded it was about time to make use ot my own brains, and after considering the subject I decided to pare tbe feet level and to nse a common light shoe ; tbe borse immediately stop pea striking its ankles and never struck afterwards. My judgment is that tbe canting of the feet out throws tbe borse off his balance each step be takes, and the recovering of his balance causes him to strike his ankles, and my exper ience of fifteen years has proven it. I am indebted to the contennial exhibi tion held at Philadelphia 1875 for tbe beat idea to prevent interfering. In the government building was a depart ment devoted to the borse, showing sev eral skeletons, a great variety of horse shoes, one of which illustrated tbe idea that I am to speak of. Tbe shoe was s.milar to the common ones except tbe creasing acd tbe position of tbe nail hjles. The ouslde crease, instead of stopping as it usually does, continued clear around the toe and stopped just back of tbe first nail hole on the inside, so that there were seven nails nsed. fonr on the outside ; two at the toe, and one on tbe inside ; tbe idea being not to bave any nails on tbe inside of the hoof, acd consequently no clinches to start up and cut the opposite ankle witb. This form of a shoe I adopt for ex treme cases. I usually make the outside the heaviest, and bave the shoe as light as possible. Tbe shoe must bo fitted perfectly to the hoof at the outside and toe where the nails are. The inside should be set under a little, so as to straighten tbe hoof a little at the widest part. Tbe advantage of this kind of shoeing is tbat It leaves tbe in side of the hoof in its natnral state, which is, in a sound foot, perfectly smooth surface will not cut bairs or skin on the ankle of a horse. For winter shoeing place the toe calk just back of tbe greaee. For summer shoeing I nse no calks on driving horses, and frequent ly cut tbe inside branch of the shoe off just back of the nail bole. When I do Ibis I nse tbin shoes, so that the foot will stand about level. Shoes driven on according to tbe shovel plan will not stay on as long as by the common one, but they will stay long enough, for the horses tbat interere should be shod often, so that their feet will not get too large, for tbe wider tbe hoofs are tbe more liable they will be to strike. The f hoes should be nicely filed np, so tbat there will be no rough edges to come in contact with the opposite ankles or knees. Fit tbe shoes to tbe feet, with the exception of straightening the hoof a little as above mentioned, and do Dot allow the inside Dranch of the shoe to set out at tbe heel or to be longer than tbe outside branch. If tbe Creator bad designed an addition to be built on that part of tbe hoof lie would have placed it there. When I use common shoes on horses that are liable to strike, 1 use only three nails on tbe inside, as fourth nail comes at tbe part of hoof with which the borse strikes opposite ankle ; sometimes I leave the the tbe out the third, only using two on tbe inside. Most of these remarks refer to shoeing tbe bind feet. For horses tbat are much glyen to striking with the front feet I use the shoe that is creased and nailed at the toe, as I know of no other way to prevent some horses from cutting their ankles. There are classes of men whose borees I do not expect to aboe so that ihey will not interfere. One will call the sooner class ; if I do not shoe their horses so that they will stop striking immediately, they will rush eff to some other shop, not thinking that it is much harder to correct an evil than it is to prevent it. The other is the wise class, who Kssime to know all about shoeing horses but really know very little ; this cla3 wish to dictate tbe shoeing and consequently musi abide the result. I will add tbat colts frequently intefere before they are shod on account of their fet being grown to an unnatural length. This can be avoided by having them trimmed before using. No delay should occur In going to work on the arple trees to destroy the caterpillars, as ihey will quickly festoon the trees with their webs. The sooner lhy nr-all be removed the easier the the work, as the younic worms can now be caught in the webs. Khlloli'a Catarrh Remedy.

In a farm-house near Devon, Pa., there is a haunted clock, with a weird legend of revolutionary times connected with it. A cold blooded murder of a drummer is in tLe legend, arid once a year "the clocK acts n'ranKlv" and can not be made to go. This is a true bill, Jou understand, antl rt3ett5 wthe sfof yt I know that "haunted cluck." I bave met it in a Pennsylvania tavern more than once. Only the legend doesn't do the haunted clock full justice. Not only oucea year, on the anniversary of tbe drummer's death, does it "act strangely." It acts strangely all the time. It chokes and gurgles in ghastly gutterals for about five minutes before it strikes, and beard, in the dead of night, these awful sounds petrify the terrified guest with horror, for ho firmly believes that tbe man in the next room is hanging himself witb his suspenders. When tbe haunted clock strikes eleven. It starts of wiih ponderous solemnity and strikes six. Then it stops, groans twice, gurgles, makes a muffled noise with something that needs oiling, strkes one wheezes and goes to sleep. About ll-30, however, it wakes up, grunts, sneezes twice, strikes the other four, and, witb a hollow groan goes on its limping with tick tocks, of alternating loudness and softness, sometimes fall ing asleep aDd missing two or three ticks altogether, always waking with a start and tick tocking very loudly for the next minute. And then, along in tbe afternoon, when you are anxious to go to the station to catch tne five o'clock train, the hour band points to three and tbe minute hand is at five and the clock strikes nine, you know it is a quarter past six and your train hae gone more than an hour ago. There is also a cal endar on this clock, showing tbe days of the week and the months, but it is stuck fast between Monday and Tues day at the 31st of January, and there is a bole in tbe dial where a moon shows itself in the full dark all the year round. O, it is sure 'cough haunted clock. I've seen it, many a time, and have missed more trains by it than there are spooks in Virginia or "thengs" in Indiana. Everybody about the hotel "sets" that clock. The landlord looks at it about once or twice a week and sets it by a silver watch that looks like a slung shot. Then by acd by the oldest boy comes along and sets it by tbe school bell, which rings tbout nine o'clock. Then tbe porter-hostler comes along and sets it "by the sun." And. finally, the landlady comes in and sets lt"by guess." And the old clock, remarking, "Xohe of these things move me." haunts on in tbe same distracted, time-killing old way as of old. The Perfect Horse. The perfect borse is yet to btj foaled, and we must take facts as they are, and not expect to find all goad qualities in one horse. In dealing with a stranger rely largely upon your own judgment, and endeavor not to be misled by any questionable statements he may make. See that tbe horse stands squarely on its feet, and tbat it does not toe out be hind, or toe in forv.ard. Itun your hand slowly and carefully down tbe inside of each leg ; if there is a bunch there you will feel it. See that the feet are sound and well spread. A dark hoof, if sound, is always preferable to to a white or streaked one. Look sharp at tbe eye. A bright, full eye denotes spirit ; a mud, pleasant eye. with a brownish cast, indicates a pleasant, aneclionate disposition, wniie an eye with a good deal of white denotes tern per. There is perhaps no other way to judge a horse's disposition so well as by careful stuJy of his eyes, and too much importance cannot well be at tached to the necessity of a good dispo- tion. In every case, take a bill of the horse, written by tbe seller himself, with tbe horse described therein as sound or unsound. If a buyer is per sonally acauainted with any reliable person who has a satisfactory borse for sale, it is better to purchase of him, even though it may cost more. Nearly every man feels indignant at the sug gestion that be is not competent to bandla any bcrse, while the fact is this : "Tbat after you and I are taken out of tbe list, there remain comparatively few men really competent ta handle a fine, high-strubg. nervous horse, although it may not be in tbe least vicious." Many a man has made a serious mistake by getting more horseflesh than he can handle. He may lack the patience re quired witb a wide-awake borse. Origin of the Bandana. The word bandana, now made popu lar by Mr. A. G. Tburtnan's nomination for tbe Vice Presidency for he is in the habit of using red bandanas is of Hindustani origin, where bandahu means something tied up or bound, tbe syllable band being the same as ours, and having reference to the binding of tbe fabric in tbe dye-tub so as to pre vent the bound part from being touched by the rich yellow or red dy3 that was used in the silk or cotton fabrics in tended for head wear or neckerchiefs. The Portuguese were the first Europe ans to carry bandanas borne, and found a ready market for them. European sailors from the earliest times supplied themselves with bandanas in thb ports of East India. Cheap imitations of the Indian fabrics are manufactured In Great Britain. Bandana are especially popular with Southern negroe? , aud Mr. Tburman s preference for the red ban danas may be du to his Virginia birth. Some twenty or thirty years ago silk handkerchiefs of bandana kind were popular with many gentlemen.
