Ilruiliulira mad Their Caua Cold In the Ht-iwI TnMnre of tha Toothache Ca tarrh ami Tliroat Trouble The Amer Icnn Nrtk-HrrathJng Had Air. How large a proportion of our pains are unavoidably necessary? It is not ex travagant to nay that four-fifths of all tlie aches ami paina of humanity are brought on ua ly our recklessneiw and Iiecdle-sMioss. I would set down one half of these to Lad fashions, and the other half to cnrclewsncss in our habits. KupMmu we begin at the head and go to the feet. Headaches aro rarely, if ever, known by savages. They aro rarely, it ever, known by children brought up on fruit and cereals. They are mostly de Iiendcnt on inquired digestion, over loaded fctomaclw and kindred abuses; or to hot, close rooms, and breathing car iMmatud air. A cure for headache is ra tional diet, abundant exercise, good nu and ure air. I should acid one more causo the habitual exhaustion of the ystcm ly abuse and iiiteuiienince. 1 have tried Iho exix-riim-nt with chil dren, and find that if from their infancy I hey aro prevented from indulging in cakes and pastries, and are indulged in tin abundance of riie fruits, cereals, milk and pure sugar, they never know what a headache U. TJie stilling and jAjisonJiig effect of kid air, of closo and (jviirjicatcd rooms, is understood lietter than it was one generation ago. Colds lu Jho head are not caused by a draught of cold air jf wo no not first overheated, and made unduly sensitive to common fresh air. In addition, or in connection with the causes above named, our liter nry clasps also are compelled to endure a vat amount of brain trouMe from the Ink of good sense in their habits of f.fiM'7. They should simply let their brains re.st while their stomachs are at work, and llejr stomachs rest while their brains are at work. TOOTHACHE AND DYSPKPSIA. JUit we cannot leave the head when we leave the brain case, for there are years of agony in nearly every man's month history. The decay of teeth may not In) whojjy preventable with our pres ent heredity, but I am positive that nine tenths of our tootliachcs are preventable by proixr care from the outset. Decay jij teeth begins at a very early age, and might bo prevented largely by the sim plest means. The cause is not always neglect cf cleanliness, but it is acidity of the stomach, caused by iuproier food. A thoroughly sound digestion should be fcecurrd for every child. It is the one duty (hat pnvedes morals, because a dys-jM-ptie child cannot bo a saint.

The majority of Americans suffer from catarrh. The disease is preventable, even in our worst climates, like that of Uoston. It is almost invariably the con sequence of a neglected cold. Throat jiiseases follow jn the same line. The throat should be clothed. 'Notwithstand ing what many physicians urge to the contrary, there is "no reason why the neck should go bare, except when swad ?Jed foF a rjdo in wintei. Our Ameri can typical neck is a long one. It car ries little fat. The vocal organs are clse to the surface. The ordinary scarf mid collar leave the neck almost en tirely uncovered. The old fashioned bluck was better.

The same tubes ri-ach through, or into, both. Why should the lower end be abundantly clothed, and the upper end exposed? Consumption generally begins at the throat nnless it be caused by general de vitalization, or poisoned air. What we shou Id demand of our clothiers is a class of rappers and shirts tliat can be brought well up pbout the throat. From the 1st of OctoW-r to t W st pf June J wear an e.tra tlaune) coTiar, made to, button over the other flannel shirt collar, and then turned down over a Bcarf. It thoroughly protects the throat and meets every re quirement of the case; is both soft and warm, and neat. It is all important that the throat be relieved from the gross ir ritation of fashionable collars wliich scratch and poke at all points. Indeed, l ypu ;vilj consider, there is not a part l f 'the body so' roughly and unkindlv Lraf.ed as rho throat, fstarched neck-W-ar l- it n v for fools. Our lungs will easily take care of them selves, and of all the rest of the body, if warmly clothed with woolen and pro tected from foul air.

Story TolJ bjr a Varul OflWr A Shrew l fw-riuuii "Mrehanlr." A naval oflicer today, in sfieakingaltout the presence of foreigners in the naw, toM the following story: I wan sent "to lOurojie not long ago on an important er rand, and it lieeame my duty to form the acquaintance of foreign naval ofiicers, in order to accomplish certain ends I hail in view. I met many of them at dinners, receptions and entertainments, and was surprised to lind out how well thev were informed on American naval a lairs. 1 had occasion to go to Kiel. Licrmniiy, for the puritoso of visiting the dockyards there. I felt sure that my credentials would admit me to insiect t he place, but they did not. 1 tried a little game of getting the desired pass, by reaching the otlicials through the use of wines and fine dinners. One day a fine looking German oflicer met 1110 as I was coming out of my hotel. 'Hello, said he, slapping me on the shoulder, 'have jou got in yet?' He sMke such pure English that for a moment or so I was nonplused. 'No, I replied, 'will you get me in?' " 'I can't;' and thercuiiou heremarked: it is easier to get into your yards than ours." "1 looked at the oflicer intently and found by his uniform that he was thechicf naval constructor, and tho man of all men in the ierinan navy that I wanted to meet. 'Will you take a class of wine with me?' I asked. He consented, and wo returned to the hotel. "After a few minutes' conversation we became quite friendly, and I was sur prised at the insight he had of our naval oflicers. He astonished me by inquiring alnmt certain oflicers who were at the New York navy yard during the late war. I could not restrain my curiosity, and I asked him: 'How did you become acquainted with the oflicers?' 'The story is a short one,' he replied. 'When the war broke out in 18G1 I was in the Ger man navy, and I got orders to co to America, and study your methods of building ships and getting guns ready for use. When J got to New York my dress was that of a plain (Jerman me chanic. I got work as a carpenter and ship joiner under a fictitious name, and in a short time I got used to the nick name "Dutchy. 'Nobody' knew me, and my curious questions were never sus- pected, and the workmen readily and in a good humored way ausweied them. I heled to build and repair ships, and in time got hold of much information. I made plans of the vessel, machinery, guns, rigging, and. in fact, got on to everything. I worked liard at night in my room, and kept my government as well jiosted as I could. The more Eng lish 1 learned the better' I understood things that the workmen said in my hearing. I worked on the big ship Duu derberg; also on the Merrimac, at Nor folk, and on some pf tho monitors. I sent much valuable information home. Now you see" the "reason why ypu can't get into our yard.' "Tho narrative was straightforward, and was so full pf facts cunceming men and affairs that I readily saw how the German naval constructor got on to my visit, and, although I tried to convince him to the contrary, he was uot to be hoodwinked. I know where Kiel is, and lliat it has a dock yard, but I'll have to go to Kiel as a German mechanic before I can get inside pf that place. Tlu3 shows how necessary it s to keep an eye on foreigners in our navy yards if we want to keep our secrets." Washington Chat in Baltimore Auierican. WHAT VERESTCHAGIN, THE RUSSIAN ARTIST AND TRAVELER, SAYS. Life Among th Klrgula Trllx-a of Crntral Aula A Charming Vonn; Woman for l.'.O llorM- A Chief DImumi-i Marriage "A MUrrahle Law." Among the collect ion of pictures of the famous IJussian artist and traveler. vasiin erestcliagin. are a large immlier of reproduc tions of his former works and albums of sketches in Turkestan, which country is becoming more connected with Eurojie every day. Shaking of Turkes tan recently, Mr. Vcrestchagin said: "When you pass the Ural mountains, the frontier lictwccu Eumie and Asia, you enter upon the stepes. wliich in the spring are beautifully green, covered with grass and Mowers, which in autumn are made quite barren by the sun. Fur ther on begins the real desert, moving sands, kept more or less together by the only thing which grows iu such places, a running hftsh or tree called saksaul, which serves for burning (cooking and heating purposes) as well as to keep the sands in their nlace. "The steppes during spring are cov ered with the tents of the Kjrgui.s, a very large collection of tribes occupviri" the whole of Central Asia.

' "When the whole amount is paid the husband can take his wife to his own tent. There in that country, as in Europe, it i3 not wise to let the future husband take his wife without gettin" from him all that, he has promised to give for her. "I renieniber a charming young w.pman who was bought by her husband for 150 horses. As the husband was very old and she was tho third wife, and more over as she bore him no children, she was beaten nearly every day and finally came to me for consolation.

Tlie journal of the Constantinople chamber of commerce describes the in dustrial uses of old boots and shoes which are thrown out into the streets or into ash pits. After being collected they are ripped oien and he' icathec is sub jected to a treatment which renders it a pliable mass, from' which ' a ' kind of art istic leather is derived. This ;n appear ance resembles (he tinest Cordova leather. In the United States patterns are stamped tins, while m 1-ranee it is used to cover trunks and boxes. The old boots and shoes are also treated in another way, by which they are converted into new ones. ' ' Tlie prisoners in central France are employed in this way, the old shoes com ing chiefly from Spain. They are taken to pieces as before, the najls being all ro- inoveu, ana ne feather is soaked in water to sol ten it. Tho uppers for chil dren's shoes are then cut from it. . The soles are also used, for from the smaller pieces of tho leather of tho old soles the o called Louis XV heels for ladies" hoes are made, while tho soles of chil Jren's shoes are made from the larger uid thicker pieces. Tlie old nails are alu) ut to use, for by means of magnets the iron nails and "the Jacks' arid brads are ieparated and sold.
