THE BACK OF THE NECK.
Make It Proof Against Drafts and
Colds In the Head.
"When I was a boy," said a doctor,
"I didn't believe In drafts. I thought
that they who Imputed colds to drafts
were cranks. But one November
night at a concert I felt all the even
ing a strong draft on the back of my
neck. It was so strong It resembled a
suction pump. 'Now,' said I to my
self. 'we'll see If this draft will give
yours truly a cold.' "
lie shuddered.
"For a week," he said, "I was laid
up with so vile a cold that I couldn't
breathe save with my mouth open.
And now I am satisfied that nine out
of every ten colds are solely due to a
draft on the back of the neck.
"I know how to prevent such colds.
Ilenee I may practically say that I
know how to prevent all colds. It is si
fact that none of my patients, thanks
to my method, know what a cold is.
"They learn from me to do this—to
bathe the back of the neck every
morning in cold water. Thus the spot
becomes hardened. It becomes draft
proof.
"And when a new patient, peculiarly
sensitive to colds, visits me, my pecul
iar treatment is to blow on the back
of his neck with a bellows for several
days in succession. The bellows, in
conjunction with the Icy douche, frees
him from all future susceptibility.
Thenceforth his winters pass without
that horrid winter pest, a bad cold."—
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The SHillalah.
The shillalah owes its name to the
fact that the finest specimens thereof
used to he grown in the pleasant
groves of trees that formerly flourish
ed in the barony of Shillalagh, in
County Wlcklow. The best shillalah
must be a root sprung sapling, for on#
taken from the branches of a full
grown tree would lack the necessary
toughness. Being trimmed and
"brought to hand," the young stick
undergoes preparatory discipline by
being placed in the chimney to season,
thus becoming early acclimatized to
the hot work in store for it. This part
of the curriculum finished, it is rub

oil, after which It Is securely wrapped
In a stout sheet of brown paper and ,
burled In a convenient hotbed. At
this stage of its development It is an ,
object of unceasing watchfulness on
the part of Its proprietor, who to fore- 1
stall any detrimental warp in the ob
ject of his care visits It daily, correct- '
lng any youthful tendency to depart
from a straight line and ultimately se
curing ns straight a bit of timber as

Hot Scotch.
The young wife dipped the ladle Into '
the porridge and smiled inquiringly at
the overnight guest.
"Will you have some hot Scotch, Mr. ,
Dash?" she asked.
Dash laughed. ,
"Hot Scotch? Where is it?" said he.
"Why, here, of course," said the ■
young wife in a perplexed tone.
"Didn't you know that oatmeal Is '
called hot Scotch?"
"Er- I" Dash stammered, and then
the young husband caught his eye, and
he was sileut. ,
"I didn't know it myself till last
year," she explained. "I heard Ueorgo
Inviting his cousin over the telephone 1
to meet him at the office and have a
hot Scotch. I didn't know what hot
Scotch was till you told me, did 1,
George ?"
George, very red, answered huskily:
"No, my dear "
Laughing at her own ignorance, the
lady proceeded to serve the thick, pale
hot Scotch.- New Orleans Times-Dem

Colored Preachers i ext.
A colored man In Atlanta, On., is n
preacher on Sundays and a barber on
week days. One of his customers j
makes It a rule to be first in the chair ;
on Monday morning, when he is sure
of being entertained by a resume of !
"T.'ncle Basins' " Sunday dissertation.
At night the family always looked for
the latest from the colored brother. I
This was one of Ids recent effusions:
"Yesterday I took for my text 'Clean
liness am next t<> godliness,' and 1 j
dun reach my < Umax wid dis argu
ment: 'Now, what day follows Sun-1
day? Why, Monday. Monday Is |
wash day in all well reg'lated fam
hlles. Monday comes nex' to Sun- 1
day; so, my breddeti, that settles it j
that the words of my tex' am true,
"Cleanliness am nex' to godliness. j
—Chicago Record-Herald.
Too Much Quiet.
On one occasion the hustling and j
energetic archbishop of York. Dr.
Maclagan, wrote to the vicar In an
outlying village suggesting that be
should lend his church for the purpose
of giving the clergy of the district n
"quiet day"for meditation and frater
nal reunion. The witty vicar of this
sleepy hamlet in the wolds promptly
replied:
My Dear Lord Archbishop—Your verj
kind letter to hand. But what the peoplo
In this village want most In their spiritual
life Is not a "quiet day." but an earth
quake.
London Standard '
Brain and Muscle.
According to Miss Loane, the author
of "Prom Tbelr Point of View," more
men are tramps and more women are
miserable housewives If married or
underpaid slaves if single because
they cannot or will not use their brain
power than because they are too lazy
for itard bodily labor. The amount of
purely unlntellectunl drudgery dimin
ishes every year and the demand for
Intelligent workers Increases.
The author had one woman patient, I
a worker among London poor, a chron
ic sufferer, who managed to keep house
and children in far more perfect order
than vigorous neighbors always scrub
bing and scouring. She was oneo
asked how she contrived to do this,
and she replied:
"I makes my mind do three parts of
It. It Isn't so much what I does, but
what I stops from having did."
Seeing the Scenery.
"Did your wife enjoy the Swiss scen
ery?"
"I don't think she saw a bit of It.
Bho was kept so busy adjusting her
camera."—CleTeland Plain Dealer.

To the Red Runner.
j Here, you paleface, quit ami boat It!
Goon now and pound the sidewalk.
You who think you are the only
' Thinff on earth—say. what's the matter?!
! Who's this Longboat. T. Oaffwagee?
| Is he of the tribe Caucasian?
■ Is he of tho paleface people?
I Bet your one best bet he Isn't.
He's a red man; he's an Indian.
But he got there, running lightly.
Walloped nim who beat the beater
Took the glory from the paleface,
Planted it In his own feathers;
Brought the red man from the bacls
seat
Where tho paleface thinks he's got him.
Brought him back and. not half trying
Got the paleface on the run and
1 Kept him going to a frazzle.
Whoop the whoop for T. Cagwagee:
He's American all over.
Stars and stripes and big bald eagle.
Glorious Fourth and constitution
From the earliest beginning.
He's the goods, the cheese, the dandy
Whoop the whoop for T. Cagwagee'
Way back yonder In the shadows
Of our foretime Longboat's people
Lagged it through this land of freedom.
Legged the hills and legged the valleys*
looped along the level reaches.
Never saw a train or auto—
Simply legged It to a ftnlah
That's the red man, that's Tom l/onr
boat.
Who has legged himself to glory,
Legged the paleface off the tanbark
Haughty paleface, proud Caucasian
Scalped of all your honors fairly.
Take your head somewhere and hide It.
Blush. O paleface, but your blushes
Cannot make a red man of you.
Longboat's It. The new world conquerv
j With the red man on the deck
Greece ain't In It any longer
; Rome has got it In the neck
What He Enjoyed.
| Mr. Makinbrakes was trying to say
j something complimentary to the dis
-1 Anguished actor to whom he had just
| been Introduced.
! "What I particularly enjoy about
| your acting, Mr Strutters," he said
| "Is your perfect naturalness. You cai
1 take an old man's part, you know.
I without the slightest necessity for
I making up—that Is, I mean you don't
| have to change your—your voice, you
j know, or—why, take it In that play I
j saw you In the other night, when you
' appeared n* nn old man. All you hud
' to do was to be just your natural—er
selt\ though, of course, there were
plenty of wigs and wrinkles you could
have put on if you had er—needed
them—which isn't quite what I was
1 trying to get at either - for anybody
| could see how admirably you fitted the
i —the part, you know, without any -
and ali that sort of—what do you think
of this new theory, Mr. Strutters, that
a man can live on peanuts?"— Chicago
Tribune.
Reciprocity.
| Men are enlisted for the lubor that
1 kills—the labor of war. They are count
I ed, trained, fed, dressed and praised
for that I-et them l>e enlisted also
for the labor that feeds. Let them be
j counted, trained, fed, dressed, praised
| for that. Teach the plow exercise as
' carefully as you do the sword exercise
i and let the officers of troops of life be
| held as much gentlemen as the officers
of troops of death, and all Is done. But
' neither this nor any other right thing
j can be accomplished—you can't even
! see your way to it unless, first of all,
| both servant and master are resolved
, I that, come what will of it. they will do
each other justice. People are per
j petually squabbling about what will be
j best to do. or easiest to do. or advlse
ablest to do, or profltablest to do. but
they never, so far as I hear them talk.
! ever ask what It Is Just to do. And
j It is the law of heaven that you shall
j not be able to judge what Is wise or
easy unless you are first resolved to
j judge what is Just and to do !t.--John
i Buskin.
Dreams of the Blind.
In my dreams I have sensations,
odors, tastes and ideas which I do not
j remember to have had in reality
i Perhaps they are the glimpses which
my mind catches through the veil of
sleep of my earliest babyhood. I have
heard "the trampling of many waters."
Sometimes a wonderful light visits rae
in sleep. Such a flash and glory as It
Is! I gaze and gaze until It vanishes.
I smell and taste much as in my wak
ing hours, but the sense of touch plays
a less important part. In sleep I al
most never grope. No one guides me.
Even in a crowded street 1 am self
sufficient, and I enjoy an independ
ence quite foreign to my physical life.
Now I seldom spell on my fingers, and
It is still rarer for others to spell Into
my hand. My mind acts independent
of my physical organs. I am delight
ed to be thus endowed, if only in
sleep, for then my soul dons its
winged sandals and Joyfully joins the
throng of happy beings who dwell be
yond the reaches of bodily sense.—
Helen Keller in Century.
rter Own Doctor.
A Washington woman recently hired
a negress. Going to the kitchen one
day, she was amazed to find the ne
gress sitting on the floor, with her
hair standing out from her head like
a black nimbus. The girl was pull
ing one curly lock and then another in
such a way as to suggest that she had
suddenly lost her reason.
"What on earth are you doing,
Mary?" gasped the lady of the house.
"Nawthln'. ma'am; only I ha»|sot a
112 aore throat an' was jest tryln' to find
de lock dat would pull mah palate up
an' relieve de tickle."—New York Her
