Tho importance of this will be recognized when it is under­ stood by parents that on- attack predisposes to others until the un­ fortunate child becomes the victim of so called croup with the least ex­ posure or indiscretion, and. all the time the trouble may- be caused by the mouth breathing, which keeps .the throat and all the air passages in a state of irritation and delicacy.

In tho case of adults the trouble is often caused by overuse of the voice. This form is seen in the case of what is known as “ clergyman’s sore throat/' but it is not necessary to be a clergyman to have it, and the average college student the day after a boat .race may be trusted to have acquired a fair case of laryn­ gitis.

The courting of tho Widow Healy by Terence Corcoran was a tedious affair to. every one in Ma- grawplace, most of all to the widow herfelf, who tried various expedi­ ents to assist her timid admirer. “ I’m thinking I might go for a sojor” Terence announced one night when his fancy had been stirred by a newspaper account of a military pageaht, “I ’m not so old but I could do it. I was wanst in a school regiment!” “ You go for a sojor!” cried the Widow Healy in mingled scorn and alarm, “A man that calls on a lone ‘ widow for two years and moro/wid- out pluck enough to spake his mind, hasn't the makings of a dhrummer boy in him.” ly to her husband: “There, Charles, I know that’s the furniture van coming with the new bedroom suit we bought today, aud if it is I just won’t receive it, that's all” “Wiiy not?” asked Mr, Yanity. “Why not?” replied Mrs. Yanity, “Do you think I ’m going io pay £20 for a suit and then have.it sent out here after dark so that none of the. neighbors' can see it when it’s brought in?

Parents as well as teachers have sometimes to run the gantlet of awkward questions, , : “Father,” said little Tommy one day, “what is an equinox ?” Father—Why—er—it is—ahem! For goodness’ sake, Tommy, don’t you know anything about .mythol­ ogy at all ? An equinox was a fabled animal—half horse, half cow. Its name was derived from the words “ equine” and “ ox.” It does seem as if these public schools don’t teach children anything nowadays.— Strand Magazine, Wood For Matches. It is not to he assumed that by reason of the’ smallness of matches the makers ever utilize scraps or bits of wood left over, The contrary; is the case.

What He*Was. There are times when the most tactful men are taken aback at some unexpected retort. Such an experience befell Ring George when as Prince of Wales he reviewed a contingent of colonial,troops. One of the scouts was an unmistakable mulatto, with, however,-a magnifi­ cent record for gallantry. The king was walking down their extended line and occasionally speaking to one of the men.

A H a rd y Sbaap H ard er’* R aniarkabla Feet of -Endurance, The life of a sheep herder is the life of the sheep, writes G. W, Og­ den in Everybody’s Magazine. It is full of hardships and dangers. His home is a sheep wagon, and he seldom sees a human being. Crouched in his“wagon on awinter’s night, with the incessant whoop of the wind,in his ears, he knows that miles away another solitary figure is anchored like himself upon tho plain; beyond him, again, another and another, then leagues of empti­ ness. An adventure of one herder, Arthur Chenoweth, is related, which jb one of the most remarkable feats of endurance remembered in a laud i of hardy deeds. Clienoweth was running a flock of sheep north of the North Platto river. He bad taken off bis shoes one night and was sitting on the bunk, coat off, preparing to go to bed. The wind began drumming a new note on his wagon cover. With the intention of seeing whether the sheep wore resting quietly the herd­ er slipped on his shoes and went out, hatless and costless, to the hill- > side, where he had bedded them for : the ,night. The sheep, as if con­ scious of danger, "were, moving toff slowly before the wind. Shouting and running, among them, bo tried to turn, them back and get them under the lee shelter of a hill. But an avalanche, has as much reason as a flock of sheep on stampede. Chenoweth drifted with them, bela­ boring them with fists aud feet— drifted away from the bedding ground out upon the Tange. There the storm' got him. It came, as those terrific pelting bliz­ zards come, with ar whistling' of sagebrush and a roar, as suddenly as if the wind sprang from the flat earth.. ,Sense Qf distance,was con­ fused and Sense of direction lost in the shrouding curtain of driving *«Tfie wma Ipicw tcwarutMTiverr Beyond the river miles away was Casper. When morning came, if. the storm ceased so he could-see, he wight make the' town. He worked free of the huddling, slow moving sheep and rim desperately before the wind. Hours passed. Casper mountain stood sharp and dark on the. horizon south of him, and in u direct line between the mountain and the river tho town of Casper lay. Shaping his course by the mountain, he pushed on and reached the river at last. Li the few hours which had passed since the storm broke tho shallow river, gorged with snowand ice, had blocked and frozen. Ho passed it safely and at 3 o’clock in themorning staggered into a la- loon at Casper. Hands, face, arms and feet were frozen, hut they heap ed snow upon him and thawed him out gradually, thus saving all hut the tips of his ears. His flock per ished in the storm in spite of their thick coats, hut ho went through with no coat at alb "Choicft Bouquet." An interesting story of Horace Greeley, the famous journalist, ha3 been revived for a new generation. He wa3 presiding at a dinner given by the press in 1868 in honor of Charles Dickens, and, while I)iek ens partook frfeely of the wines, Greeley did not turn liis glasses down, hut thrust them out of his way witli a single exception, and in that he placed a beautiful red rose that had been furnished for his boutonniere. During the dinner he lifted his glass to his nose as often as others raised glasses to their mouths, and the fragrance of the rose was all the stimulant he heeded. The Reason, Stupid and useless questions sometimes exasperate to the point of rudeness. The Los Angeles Times tells of a case where Smith met Jones one day with the in­ quiry: “Hollo, Jones! You glasses? What's that for?” Jones, annoyed at the .foolishness -of the question, answered irritably, “ Com*!” ‘r* • ' His Own Valuation. “Celle tollfjjne she Is sorry she ever married you,” £al«I n young Indy fo the hbsbaml of her dearest friend, “So she. ouRht to be,” he retorted. “She did noetc nice yirl out of a good husbandI” The Store Others Try tu Imitate, BOGGAN ’S Exclusive Styles , OUR BIG JANUARY CLEARANCE SALE STARTS THURSDAY THE 5th AND CONTINUES FOR TEN DAYS I f you have not received one of our circulars through the mail, we wish to remind you that this it the Greatest Sale o f its kind which has- ever taken place .in Central Ohio.

THE FIRE EATiiliGi TRICK. A Deception Thnl Requires Cat-ofully Constructed Apparatus. While thp fire- eating trick, long practiced by magicians amt prem?- JigitotoiT. is very simple of prac- that bmst' 'be' very carefully "emi~ strncteff. The fire eaters usually give their performances on a raised platform, which hides tho source of the lire while it seems only to lift tbo operator u trifle higher from the floor of the scene. It. is ordi­ narily covered witih a rug or carpel. It contains in the hollow space be­ neath it hags; of rubber filled with ordinary illuminating gas and com­ pressed by weights. The fire eater lias beneath the solo of his foot an ingenious little device ending in a tube exactly fit­ ting into another tube coming up through the platform and forming a close connection when stopped .upon bv tlie magician.' Very fine rubber tubes of the same color of the trick man’s dress, sometimes of a scarlet line, run up along Ids body and the arms to the end of tlie in­ dex finger. There is another tube running around ids neck and up un­ der his cldn, and tin's is usually cov­ ered hv a false heard ending at Ids nether lip, - When entering the stage all the lights are turned down to heighten tlie effect of the periVnuusoe, The operator steps lightly upon the platform, makes his erumerti.in, and after a sign ihat b<- is ready l!ic gas is turu-vd mi from beneath. When he feels that it is beginning to escape from the tube a! *’ :e eftd of his linger he ignites it b, means of a little push button, conveniently located near by, and sometimes evon within his cloak. The gas once burning, lie 1ms it entirely under control, either to light or extin­ guish any one of the inrious jets lie has previmi.dy arranged about-his person. Tlie jets on tlie fingers are controlled by procure of the thumb upon the thin rubber tube; the gas jet on ids lip is lighted l»v a motion of the hand, and he, always turns up hiVface, opens Ids mouth wide and pretends to blow the flame from the month. Tito appearance is very de­ ceptive indeed, as the breath blown from the lungs gives much life to (lie flame. As the scene is never, much lighted when the fire eater is at work, if is a pretty difficult mat­ ter to convince ones«'If ihat he is not really blowing the flame from his mouth.
