•HINTS NATUKE HIVES SYMPTOMS THAT SHOULD WAHN M£N OF COMING SICKNESS. The SIR-TII flea nee SnerilnK. Vmvn liiK anil HrrurriiiK Winter folds. Tlie Meaning of llltie Hand*—Apo ple*>'» Wnfiiioi; Signals. Nature scarce ever strikes without warning. In so far as disease is con cerned it gives clear signs of what is impending days, weeks, months and even years before the attack. If people looked for these signs and took warn ing from them, they would escape much serious illness and live many years longer than they do. It; is indeed remarkable how careless we are in this respect. A man who will anxiously scan the sky for signs of coining rain lest his top hat may get spoiled will never dream of examining his eyes, nose or linger nails for signs of coming illness. The sneeze, for instance, is very sig nificant. It is always a sign that some thing is injuring the air passages any where from the nose down to the lungs. Should it be only a case of snuff or pepper, of course the sneeze is of no consequence. Rut often it is an indica tion of congestion. There is inflamma tion somewhere, with too much blood, and tfie object of the sneeze is to give relief by getting rid of some of the fluid. This sneeze is a warning that every prudent person should attend to. It is at least the forerunner of a cold. Hut it may indicate an approaching at tack of bronchitis or pneumonia. When there is much sneezing, accompanied by something like a small shower of rain, the victim will do well to take a warm footbath, goito bed and adopt the other usual remedies to cure a cold. The winter cold itself is a grave warning. When it recurs two or three times every winter, it is sure to be fol lowed in the end by chronic bronchitis. Once this comes on it is practically in curable. Men are started on their lives much as! a shell from a cannon—with a cer tain tixed quantity of energy. If dis ease or accident does not carry them off. they will die some time of what we call old age—in other words, when the energy with which they started is spent. Some have energy enough to carry them over the full century; oth ers have only sufficient to keep them going for ninety, eighty, seventy, sixty or fewer years. Now, early baldness is a sure sign, with some exceptions, that the energy is likely to fail sooner than In the average man. Rut all kinds of baldness have not this significance. Sometimes the loss of hair arises from scalp disease caused probably by mi crobes. The warning baldness is that kind which commences about the tem ples and on the crown of the head and gradually eats its way over the scalp until only a circular frir.ge of hair is left. Rlue nails, or blue hands, betoken weak or obstructed circulation. They are a warning against overexertion of any kind. The obstruction may occur | from disorder of several organs in the body. Rut most commonly the blue ness indicates that the heart is not up to the mark. Yawning is a somewhat similar warning. It is a sign that the steam has run down and that it is time togo to bed or perhaps togo into the open air. When you sit ii* a close room, the lungs do not receive sufficient of the vital gas, oxygen. The yawn is then a desperate effort of the lungs to proper ly aerate the blood, and it warns you to open the windows or to leave the room. When you are out of bed too long or when you have done an unusu ally hard day's work, the waste prod ucts of your body are present in exces sive quantity. Then the yawn is a warning to you to lie down and rest. Most people have a great horror of getting a "stroke" or lit of apoplexy. It is not by any means as unpleasant as the toothache, but the suddenness of it is what appalls. There is really no suddenness about it, however. No disease gives such early warning. A "stroke" is a very simple occurrence and not at all horrible. It results from two or three causes, but the most com mon one is this: A little artery in the brain wears out and lets some blood escape, which clots, presses on the brain and paralyzes whatever part of the body is governed by the piece of brain pressed upon. Now this artery wears out only in common with other arteries of the body. In some people they all become what is called athe romatous, or hard and brittle. At the same time they become tortuous or twisted. We can see these hard and tortuous arteries on the temples, and then we know it is not safe to do any thing which will congest the brain, lest the one little artery there, which Is especially liable to give way, shall let the blood escape. Likewise warn ing is often given by the tiny arteries of the eye. They break and let out little traces of blood, which can easily be seen, but a cold or sleepless night may do the same. When these signs occur—and they occur months and years before the stroke—do not get ex cited or angry, no matter how great the provocation, do not rush to catch an omnibus or in any way overexert yourself, and do r>ot dine too heartily. By taking the warnings given by na ture you will insure yourself against this pleasantest way of leaving the world and be sure of dying of cholera or smallpox or some other respectable disease.—London Mail.

I had been private see reiarx to Colonel Wade for a little ovei ! six months, but that was certainly nc reason why b.s wife should have in i eluded mi' in her list of guests. It was t<> l>e a masque ball, and 1 had nothing to wear. The affair wat to take place that very night, and the fact that I was half in love with Miss Dorothy, the colonel's oldest daughter made me hurry down to a eostuiner's shop. M Clausen shook his head as he surveyed my live feet six. "I have nothing that will tit you, sir,' he said, "unless you will take this green devil costume. There were three of the devils ordered, but two of the gentlemen came in yesterday and told me that their friend was sick anil ' wouldn't be able to use this suit, so i it's on my hands.

It was a giddy affair with its livid green color, its long, stuffed tail with a fork at the end and two little horns projecting from the cap. 1 paid M. Clausen his price, con gratulating myself on getting a tine suit so cheaply, and hastened back to my rooms to try on my purchase. When 1 presented myself at the Newbury street house at !.» o'clock that night. Colonel Wade greeted me in the hall facetiously: "Ah! So we are to be honored with other members of the family? Two of your brothers are already here. You're Dr. Swain. I'll wager." If the man with whom I came in daily contact did not recognize me, my disguise was perfect. I laughed to myself as I passed up stairs. Ten minutes later I was mingling j with as great a crowd of notables as were assembled on that famous Styx houseboat. Several William Sliake speares were strolling about the room, . Napoleon Bonaparte was having a desperate flirtation with Joan of Arc, and over in one corner William Benn was busily fanning a somewhat portly j edition of tjueen Elizabeth. As I stepped into the ballroom I jostled against a tall man dressed ex actly like myself, except that his cos tume was of a glowing crimson. The meeting was evidently more of a sur -1 prise to him than to me. "Where in hades did you come from. Shorty?" he whispered, pulling me out 1 of the crowd. "Why, naturally, that's just where I did come from," I answered, disguis ' ing my voice and wondering mean ' while at such language even from a brother tiend. "1 told the professor you were cooked for six months when I saw the pinch yesterday. How did you get out?" ! "Ask no questions," I answered in a solemn tone, laying my linger on my lips. "1 have leave of absence from his satanic majesty himself for to night only. Tomorrow I shall be cook ed again, as you say." "Well, we mustn't be seen together: might cause suspicion. See you later." 1 knew not a thing of what he was talking about, but as my answers were probably equally puzzling to him 1 judged that we were even, following his advice, 1 left him and began look ing for a certain young lady. In a few minutes I had found a graceful Cleopatra, whom I thought I recognized to such an extent tfiat I was perfectly willing to play Antony : to her for the rest of the evening. Dropping the high falsetto in which I had been talking to the red devil, I Assumed my natural voice. "Oh, Mr. Churchill! Is that you?" 'xclaimed the Egyptian queen. "Why, I'd never have known you in this World!" ■ "In this world, of course not, but you certainly would in the lower one, where you see I belong. Miss Dorothy Cleopatra," 1 answered, anil we shook ' hands. "I'm so glad to tind some one I know," she continued. "I've been talk ing to so manv lungs, queens and em l perors for the last half hour that you mii-tii't mind if my conversation is a tritle stilted at lirst." "And as I've just been comparing temperature with a neighbor of mine from hades you mustn't mind if there Is a certain warmth to my remarks," I answered. We were in the midst of an interest ing tete a fete when some one tapped me on the shoulder. Turning, 1 saw ' another devil- this one clad in somber blai k behind me. "Sorry to disturb you, but 1 must see you for a few minutes," he said . gruffly. ! I excused myself reluctantly to the lair queen and walked toward the 11 brary with my black companion. "Andy said you was here, but I didn't 1 believe him," he muttered when we were alone "I got you out here fo tell you the lieu plan We had to change it when \\e thought you was pinched.

Colonel Wade had three daughters and one son, a baby i boy scarcely two years old. ••.Vow, don't go makin' any dates to take that fairy I saw you talkin* to down to supper, but be sharp when you hear the signal to march down." oueen Victoria and Sir Walter Ra leigh came strolling into the library Just then, and the black devil left me abruptly, whispering, "If you git a chance, that Cleopatra you was talkin' to has got a tine bunch of stones in her back hair. We could use them too." Leaving the library, 1 hastened out in search of my host and found him in the drawing room chatting with Mary, queen of Scots. "Colonel Wade," I began excitedly, getting him to one side, "there's a plot to kidnap Robert tonight while " * guests are down at supper. The oti two devils, the butler, a servant named Madge and I don't know how many others are in the scheme." "And who are you?" he began, glanc ing suspiciously at my livid costume. 1 took off my mask, and never shall 1 forget the warmth of the handclasp he gave me as he muttered, "Ted, my boy. I can never repay you for this." Calling a servant, he gave the order for the orchestra to play another waltz and to wait for word from him before striking up the march for supper. Then he sought out the private detectives he had stationed in the house and told them the plot on foot. And while the crowd of poets, sol diers, heroes and heroines of bygone ages in the ballroom were waltzing to the strains of"The Serenade," a red niid a black devil, a white faced nurse maid and two trembling lackeys marched ingloriously out the front door and boarded a large covered wagon resembling an ambulance, but which Is known down in the west end as the Black Maria. Inventor Dnvy and Love. Sir Humphry Davy, the inventor of the Davy lamp, found love something of a delusion, if not a snare. Writing to liis mother, he said, "1 am the hap piest of men in the hope of a union with a woman equally distinguished for virtues', talents and accomplish ments." And in a letter to his brother he expresses his rapture thus, "Mrs. Apprece has consented to marry me, and when the event takes place 1 shall not envy kings, princes or potentates." The widow must have been a person possessed of great powers of fascina tion, for Sir Henry Holland makes mention of her as a ladv who made such a sensation in Edinburgh society that even a regius professor did not think it beneath his scholarship togo down on his knees in the street to fas , ten her shoe. The sequel need not be dwelt upon further than to add that the marriage turned out to be altogether a mistake. (iiiiclt and Sure Way.

"No, I can't stay any longer," he said, with determination. "What difference does an hour or so make now?" asked a member of the party. "Your wife will be in bed and asleep, and if she wakes up she won't know what time it is." "Quite right. Quite right," he return ed. "I can fool my wife almost any time as long as I get home before breakfast. Why, I've gone home when the sun was up, kept the blinds shut, lit the gas and made her think that it was a little after 12. But, gentlemen, I can't fool the baby.

Klcliardson "Did you ever meet such a prigV" exclaimed Madge Turner as sin- jerked at the laces of her skating boots. "It ; Tom had hunted his class over, lie couldn't have found anything more stupid." "He would say 'could not.' This in ! a mischievous tone from Kutlierine Crozier, who was spending tilt* Thank sgiving holiday with Madge at the hit ter's home In Vermont. "I believe your 1 father is enjoying his visit tremen dously." Mr. Turner was principal of the high school. "Well. 1 do think," snapped Madge, j tugging at the buttons on her fur trim med jacket, "that in view of the fact that I'm buried alive in this town nine months in the year Tom might have '• brought home a real jolly college chap, j some one who would make things live ; ly for us all." "You need not complain," suggested Katherine. "Vou have Harry Martin, j and lie probably would not welcome : any rival" — "That's quite enough. Kit. When will you learn that there is absolutely i nothing between Harry and me" "No thanks to Harry for that state ' of affairs," laughed Katherine as the two girls left the room. A party of merr\ young people had gathered round the great fireplace in the hall, waiting for Madge and Katherine to Join them on a bobbing trip to Beemer's hill. Madge ran out to the kitchen for a farewell word with her mother, who was never happier than when entertaining her children's friends. Tom was standing near the table enjoying a hot doughnut, and as Mrs. Turner disappeared in the direc tion of the hall laden with a plate of the toothsome cakes Madge turned to him impatiently. "Who is to ride with your beloved Mr. Brorne''" Tom turned to his sister in surprise. "Madge, that doesn't sound like you. I hoped you'd show him the cour tesy"— "Don't preach, brother mine. I treat him decently when I'm with him, but to save my life I don't understand why you.brought him home for the vaca tion when there are so many other chaps to choose from." "So long as you put the question so bluntly, I'll tell you why, Madge be cause while most of the fellows in my class could go home for their holidays Brome felt that lie ought not spend the money for the trip to Illinois. Then 1 knew he wanted to come. When my little sister came down to the junior prom this fall, Brome thought she was the most charmingly unaffected and gentle mannered girl he had ever met, and with his usual frankness confided tills opinion to me. Now"— Madge's cheeks flamed brilliantly, and the twinkle faded from Tom's eyes. "Madge, dear, it isn't always the fel low who talks the most brilliantly, who goes in for sports and social gayeties, who finally scores best at college. There's lots in Brome that neither you nor I have ever fathomed, and I'm proud to call him my friend. He's quiet and ruther delicate and not half so stylish as Harry Martin, but" "That will do," exclaimed Madge curtly. "Never mind the list of vir tues. The crowd is waiting." lint when she swept into the great hall the Hush had not entirely faded from her cheeks. It seemed to Char ley Brome that she had never looked so pretty as at this very moment. He trudged along at her side, pleased because she had quietly fallen behind the merry throng to talk about some new fittings for Tom's room at college. Brome thought it must be very delight ful to have a sister to make the dainty knickknacks which somehow never found their way into his den. I lis mother was managing a small farm In Illinois and with three other boys to clothe and send to school had lit lie time for fancy work. Madge tried to think that she was simply doing her duty by her brother's guest, but before the mile to Beemer's hill had been covered she became deeply interested in her companion.

Beemer's hill was the most noted ! coasting ground in the county. It was | ti public highway, steep and smooth, with a gorgeous incline that kept the I sleds plunging downward at an ex liilarating speed. To be sure, wise | acres in the neighborhood had long predicted that someday reckless coast i ers would meet with an accident at j the bend below Mr. Beemer's house, ] where the road rounded above a great ; cliff. But Tom Turner's l>ol> was the I finest in all the country round, heavily J weighted to give it speed and steered j by a well adjusted wheel, and the | young people on this particular inorn j big boarded it. without a tremor. Torn steered, and Madge sat well to | the rear and in front of Brome. Sev eral times during the mad ride she felt > his hand close almost convulsively on I her arm, but she fairly reveled in the ! wild moment. She was strongly ath hrttc ia her tastes and afraid of notb ' ing. When the party reached the brow of the hill for the second plunge, Brome looked very grave, and while he made no effort to induce the others to give i up the trip he firmly declined to make | it again. Instead he would build a tir<> ! and have it jolly and comfortable on i their return. Madge gave Katherine a ! significant glance, but she could not ! catch her brother Tom's eye. On their return from the run they found Brome chatting pleasantly with Harry Martin, who had driven over in his smart new cutter. Katherine and Madge sprang into the sleigh and cud i died down under the fur robes, while | Harry stood beside them, his hand j resting lightly on the reins. Suddenly a shout of laughter from j the group around the brushwood tire startled the horse, and he plunged for ward, jerking the reins from Harry's hands. Straight down the hill he tore, headed for Beemer's bend and the sheer cliff. What if his foot should slip on the bend! The two girls did not scream, and Madge made a vain effort to snatch at the reins dragging on the ground. Ilei ' brother groaned and suddenly threw | his hand in front of his face. That j was why he did not see a slender, | lithe figure throw itself on the bobsled land send it shooting after the run ] away. It was Brome, skillfully steer i ing the great sled so that it kept be j tvveen the runaway and the outer edge of the road. The two vehicles, the swaying cutter and the jerking bob sled, round the fatal cliff, with just a few inches to spare on its edge for the brave fellow who handles the wheel.

As he shoots past the cutter he leans forward I and clutches the reins. The sled darts j from under him. He is on liis feet, j sawing on the lines, but with the blood j flowing from a cut on his head. ******* In the twilight Madge Turner sat by the lounge in her father's library. Brome, with an aching head and a bruised body, was lying there con tentedly watching the dancing flames in the grate. "Would you mind." suggested Madge in a subdued voice, "telling me why, if you were not afraid to take that awful ride after us, you would not board the bobsled for fun?" "Because," said Brome, a slight flush spreading over his pale cheeks —"be- cause my mother has sacrificed a great deal to send me to college. I want to repay it some day, and 1 have no right to run unnecessary risks"— "oh!" saiil Madge, with an eloquence which only a woman can throw into her voice. Katherine appeared at the door half an hour later and remarked: "If you're going to the church social with us, Madge, you'd better get dress ed." "I—l guess I won't go.

The basilisk was the most famous of the many fabulous monsters of me diaeval folklore. According to the ! popular notion, it was hatched by a toad from an egg laid by the cock of the common barnyard fowl. In the an j cient picture books it was usually rep resented its an eight limbed serpent or dragon, sometimes with and sometimes without wings. Its name is derived from basiliscos, meaning a little king, and was applied because the creature was figured with a circle of white spots on its head which much resem bled a crown. The cockatrice, a species of basilisk, besides having a crown possessed a comb which was an exact counterpart of the cock's. Pliny assures us that the basilisk had a voice which "struck terror to the hearts of men, beasts and serpents." The Bible classes it with the lion, the serpent and the dragon as one of the most formidable creatures. Old writers, Pliny, Basebo and others, say that its bite was mortal in every case, that its breath was suffocating and that no plant would grow in the vicinity of its lair. Its dead body was often used, suspended in belfries, to prevent swal lows from building there. Itimini and the I'onotaln of Youth. Bimini was a fabulous island firmly believed in by the Indians of the An tilles, though they could give no further clew to its location than that it lay some hundreds of leagues north of His 2'iniola. On this island was the fa mous fountain of youth and giving per petual health and vigor. It was the search for this fountain that led Ponce *le Leon and Hernando de Soto to Flor ida. on the outskirts of which the Is land was generally supposed to be sit ' uated.
