The imir.cdiate tliect of these poisons is to vlebiiitate, to lowtr vitality, and to impair tlie L'uturs.1 power of the system to resist aise.ise. Hence it is that persons who are attai.kd 1-y ir.llammatory diseases, as pnemouia or rheumatism, can generally trace the beginning of the disease to a chill felt on coming out of a crowded room into the cold or damp air, wearing perhaps thin shoes and insttlici^ut clothing. It these lacts were generally understood and acted upon, thcu^aiids of lives might be saved every year. It IS a well known fact that men who " camp out,' skeping en the ground at all seasons of the year, htldom havepheumonia, »Hd that rheumatism, with them, comes as a rule, only Irom. unwarrantable imprudence.

The December Ctn'wry c.ntainp the fol- lowing romance Of all Don Aitcnio's graphic narratives of the olden times, none is more interesting; than those which describe his advpntures during the days of this con- test. Oj one of the first approaches made by the Americana to Los Angeles, he went out with his little haphazard company of men and boys to meet them. H bad but one cannon, a small one, tied by ropes on a cart axle. He had but one tmall kei; of powder that was good for anything all the rest was bad, would merely go tff 'pouf, pouf,' the secora said, and the bill would pop down near the mouth of the cannon. With this bad powder he fired his first shots. The Americans laughed this is child's play, they said, and pushed on closer. Then came a good shot, with the good pow- der, tearing into their ranks and knocking them right and left another and another. Then the Atneriesans began to think, these are no pouf balls and when a few more were killed they ran away and left their flig behind them. And if they had only known it, theCiliformanshpd only one more charge left of the good powder, and the next min- ute it would have been the Califomians that would hre had to rua away themselvec, merrily laughed the senora as she tcld the tale. ' This captured flag, with impoitant pa- pers, were intrusted to Don Antonio to carry to the Mexican headquarters at Son- era. He set oS with an escort of soldiers, his horse decked with silver trappings, his sword, pistolsâ€" all of the finest a proud be- ginning of a journey destined to end in a aifftrent fashion. It was in winter time cold rains were falling by night he was drenched to the skin, and stopped at a friendly Indian's tent to change his clothes. Hardly had he got them oiF when the sound of horses' hoofs was heard. The Indian flung himself down, put his ear to the ground and exclaimed, 'Americanos Aiwaricanos 1' Almost in the same second they were at the tent's door. As they halted, Don Antonio, clad only in his drawers and stockings, crawled out of the back of the tent, and creeping on all fours reached a tree up which he climbed, and sat safe hidden in the darkness among its branches listening, while his pursuers cross questioned the In- dian, and at last rode away with his horse. Luckily, he had cariied into the tent the precious papers and the captured flag: these he entrusted to an Indian to take to Sonora, it being evidently of do use for him to try to cross the country thus closely pursued by his enemies. "All night he lay hidden the next day he walked twelve miles across the mountains to an Indian village where he hoped to get a horse. It was dark when he reached it. Ciu- tiously he opened the door of the hut of one whom he knew well. The Indian was pre- paring poisoned arrows fixing cne en the string and aiming at the door he called out, angrily •' 'Who is there?' " 'It is I, Antonio.' " 'Don't make a sound,' whispered the In- dian, throwing down his arrow, springing to the door, coming out and closing it softly. He then proceeded to tell him that the Ameiicans had oflTered a reward for his head, and that some of the Indians iu the ranchsria were ready to betray or kill him, While tlicy were yet talking, again came the sound of the Americans' hor.sos' hoofs galloping in the distance. This time there seemed no escape. Suddenly \)on Antonio, throwing himself on his stomach, wriggled into a cactus patch near by. « oly one who has seen 'ilifornia cactus thickets can real- ize the desperatenees of this act. Bat it succeeded. The Indian threw over the cac- tus plants an old blanket and some refuse stalks and reeda and there once more, with- in hearing of all his baffled pursuers said, the hunted man lay, safe, thanks to Indian friendship. The crafty Indian assented to all the Americans proposed, said that lon Antonio would be sure to be caught in a few davs, advised them to search in a cer- tain rancheria which he described, a few miles off, and in an oppposite direction from the way in which he intended to guide Don Antonio. As soon as the Americans had gone, he bound up Antonio's feet in strips of rawhide, gave him a blanket and an old tattered hat, the best his stores afi'orded, and then, led him by a long and difflcult trail to a spot high up in the mountains where the old women of the band we're gathering acorns. By tne time they reached this place, blood was trickling from Anton- io's feet and legs, and he was well- nigh fainting with fatigue and excitement. Tears rolled down the old women's cheeks when they saw him. Some of them had been servants in his father's house, and loved him. One brought gruel another bathed his feet, others ran in search of healing leaves of different sorts. Bruising iliese in a stone mortar, they rubbed him from head to foot with the wet fibre All his pain and weariness vanished as if by magic, His wounds healed, and in a day he was ready to set off for home. There was but one pony in the old women's camp. This was old, vicious, blind in one eye, and with one ear cropped short but it looked to Don An- tonio far more beautiful than the gray steed on which he had ridden away from Los Angeles three days before. There was one pair of ragged shoes of enormous size among the old women's possession?. These were strapped en his feet by leathern thongs, and a bit of old sheepskin was tied around the pony's body. Thus accoutered and mount- ed, shivering in his drawers under his single blanket, the captain and flag-bearer turned his face homeward. At the first friend's house he reached he stopped and begged fi r food. Some dried meat was given to liim, and a stool rn the porch oflered to him. It was the hou3 of a dear friend, and the friend's sister was his sweetheart. As he sat there eating his meat the women eyed him curiously. One said to the olher.'Hjw much he looks like Antonio ' "At last the sweetheart, comicg nearer, asked him is he were any relatien to l)jn Antonio. •"Xo," he said, ".lust at this moment his friend rode up, g.ave one glance at the pitiful beg..ar sittiog on his porch, shouted his name, dashed to- ward him, and seized him in his arms. Then there was ereat laughing and halt weeping, for it had been rumored that he bad been taken prisoner by the AmericaEs. "From this friend he received a webome gift of a pair of trowsera, many iochea too short for his legs. At the next houie his friend was as mnch too tall, and bis second pair of gift trowsers h»fi to be rolled up in thick folds aronnd his ankles. "Finally, he reached Los Angeles in safe- ty. Halting in ai grov« ontside the town, he waited till twilight before entering. Hav- ing disguised himEelf in the rags whioa he had worn fro-n the Indian villsge, he rode boldly up to the porch of his father's house, and in an impudent tone called for brandy. The terrified women began to Ecresm but his youngest sister, fixing one piercing glinze on his face, laughed out gladly, and cried " 'You can't foiol me you are our Auto- mo, TOLOACHI. A arcx.can Poison 'Wbich Pro daces In- sanity. Speaking of paupers recalls a sad case, that of an old man â€" known only as Antonio â€"who long haunted the house which for several months had been my home in Sal- tillo. Though filthy beyond defcription, bare footed, bare-headed, and clad in scanty ras's that left breast and limb] uncovered, he had a refined, even courtly manner, all the grace of politeness which is the heritage of his race, and a handsome face which showed occasional gleams of intelligence. He was a harmle.d3 lunatic, his mania being to collect bits of rags and papers, and hoarding them like so many diamonds in a great bundle, which he always carried in his arms. Occasionally we found this singular mendicant writing in a fine, beau- tiful hand, or humming sketches of Spanish and Italian operas, and when suddenly aroused from slumber he imagined himself in far-away places, developing an intimate knowledge of distant cities which could only have come from actual residence. His faith- ful dog (what beggar was ever without one)? â€" with more of reasoning power than his master, never left his side for a moment, sleeping in his arms upon the precious bundle at night, guarding him with vicious snaps and snarls by day. When the sun shone both were happy, and spent the long days in the suimy court among the flowers which the old man loved, and were fed by the kindhearted folk of the case. One chilly morning, after a long, cold rain, Antonio failed to make his appearance at the usual breakfast hour. Later in the day the chil- dren discovered him â€" his poor, gray head thrown backward among the flowers, the pitiful bundle still clasped in his stiflfened arms â€" stone dead Soon afterward, somebody going to one of the remote cities of which the strange old wanderer had oft3n babbled, took the trouble to trace his history. He was of good family â€" his surname being one well known in the republic â€" college-bred, and with plenty of money in his youth. Years ago BOme enemy [it was never discovered who, or for what cause] gave him some of the poison toloachi, the efi'ect of which is worse than death, entire and incurable loss of rea- son. This poisonous weed grows every- where in Mexico, but more thriftly iii the tropical region of the tierra calienta. It is a harmless-looking plant, precisely like the milk-weed of the north, and all too danger- ously convenient in a land where suspicion rules and jealousy amounts. to madness. A few drops of the tasteless white juice of the toloachi, mixed with milk or other food, dees its diabolical work with inexorable certainty siid can not be detected except lU its efl'eots. It does not kill, but acts im- mediately upon the brain, producing at first violent madness and then hopeless idioc •. It is whispered that poor Carlotta h;.d hardly landed at Vera Cr;/. on her sorrow- ful mission to this country, before some of it was adminstered to her. and her deplor- able fate is cited as one ainoos' many similar instances. Of all the dangers in Mexico this is one of the most appalling. Any political enemy, jealous rival, or ofi'ended servant, may thus revenge himself in a more fiendish manner than with the stilleto, and without fear of detection. The Walled Lake. .John Gregg, a commercial traveller, thus describes to the New York Sun a prehistor- ic reservoir â€" I've seen a good many won- derful things in my travels, but the W^alled Lake ot Iowa rather lays over everything that I ever saw. d ust imagine a body cf water, covering nearly 9,000 acres, with a wall built up all around it, not a stone in which can be less than 100 pounds in weight, and some as heavy as three tons, and there's not a stone to be found within ten miles of the lake. The wall is ten feet high, about fifteen feet wide at the bottom, and perhaps five on top. The country is prairie land for miles round, except a belt ot heavy timber that encircles the lake. This timber is oak, and it is plain that the tre' s were planted there. They are very large. The belt is probably half a mile wiao. The water in the lake is twenty-five feet deep, as cold as ice and as clear as crystal. \A'hat I would like to know is, who built that wall, and how did they hold the water back while they were building it And how did they cart those immense stones for ten miles If vou ever go to Iowa don't fail to visit the ^Yalled Lake. You'll find it in Wright county, IGO nnles from Dabuque. The cars will take yon almost to it. â-  â-  ^m m I m â-  A Thoughtful Husband. A Detroit lady, who is subject to heart disease, took tea last Sunday with a neigh- bor, and while sitting at table her husband rushed in without a hat and in his shirt sleeves. "Be calm 1" he exclaimed hurriedly to his wife "don't excite yourself you kno'Fyou can't stani excitement, anct it miajht be worse." "Good heavens I" cried the wife "the children " "They're all right Now, Mary, don't get txoited. Keep calm and cool â€" it can't be helped now we must bear these visita- tions of providence with philosophy " 'Then it's mother," gasped the wife. "Your mother's safe get on your things, but don't hurry or worry, It'n too late to b. of any use, but I'll fly back and see what I can do. I only came to tell you not to get excited." •For mercy's sake 1" implored the almost fainting woman, 'tell me tbe worst!'" "Well, if you will have it, the conse- quence be on your own head, Mary, I've tried to prepare you, and you will know â€" don't excite yourself â€" try and survive â€" but oor chimney's on fire, and the whole depart- ment and a(l the neighbors are in oar frcnt yardl" She sarvJved, Croup. Croup is a congestion of blood in the ar- teries of tb« windpipe toagested to such an extent that the more watery portions of the blood exude and spread and thicken, nntd the windpipe is so nearly closed thatbreath- ing is difficult, and a-i the filling up in- creases and the breathing becomes more labored a kind of spasmodic contraction of the top of the windpipe takes place, and the child 18 dead. Croup is the result of cold, especially as connected with damp clothing or wet stock- ings. No mother should ever put her child under seven years, to bed without feeling the feet, and if they are not warm by all means warm them, as it may end io coup before mornintr. Being out ot doors after sundown from November to May IS a very freqient cause of croup in sinall children lu playing about their feet are apt to get wet, or they get over-excited in their little play, are overheated, and are very much inclined to staud in the wind, or at a corner on damp ground, or sit on a cold stone. Croup utuilly comes on with a slight in- crease in the frequence of breathing, about sundown or bedtime. The next morning it seems to better, and the mother ia hopeful but at night it is worse, and the third night or sooner it is the regular croup the child is restless, uneasy, it breathes hard and fast- the chest heaves, there is a kind of wheez- ing, barking, suppressed cough, which does not seem to relieve. If mothers wonld apply remedies the first night, croup is as easily curtil as a common cold, when taken in time. The instant croupy threatenings are observed the child should be kept indoors should eat very light food indeed, and not much of that, un- til the symptoms have abated. Hydropa- thists invest the throat immediately with cloths wet with water, very cold, ioe cold if possible, but not so as to dribble about the wet cloth should ba covered with a dry flannel one. These cloths should be renew- ed every two or ten minutes, according to the violence of the symptoms, to be continu- ed, by all means, until the breathing is com- fortably easy. If there is not much fever, or if the skin is dry, put the child into a tepid bath of sev- enty five degress, and then well wrap up in a blanket until perspiration takes plase. But if there is much fever and a hot tkin, use the wet pack sheet and renew until the fever abates. The bowels should be empt- ied at onoe with a warm water e nema. By all possible means keep the feet and hands warm. If there is no expectoration, and the ciild seems to be alnost sufi'ocating, give warm water copiously, until the use of a feather to tickle tne throat induces vom- ing. It is sometimes wonderful to see the good eBeccs of this warm water vomiting iu cases of croup in children. Some pnysicians coni-iJe- nauseating re- medien iiiainpensabla. Mix half a teaspoon each of powdered alum and ipecac in half a glass of lepid water, and give it a.s quickly as possible. If it does not cause the chi.d to vomit in ttn minutes repeat tlie dose, with a teacup of warm water every five mio utes, uutil a feather or the finger in the throat produces 'or:il\a2. â€" Dr. lla'iH, Health at J loin".. llslif;:on nt-ards ii^e two p:iIa.-5^, war.) '.y â-  What Ohrif.t did for us in His I' fsii. .Tod what ll-J performs in us by His Spirit. ^\i;i:-it errors arifo fro.ii a;i attempt to sepai-ate two. Colds. The most prevalent of ell ailmtnts are colds, affecting various parte of the body " they have ail seasons for their ovd," and arc I he beginnings of more diseases than all other causes combined. It becomes, then, a matter of the first importance to know how to avoid c^lds, and hortc to get rid of them speedily when they attack us. The most frequent cause of colds is wet feet, or ft-et that remain for a long time damp and chilled from weaiing too thin stockings and shoes. It is probible that half of the uiseases peculiar to women are induc- ed in that way. It is not the wetting of the feet th^t tives colds, but the gradual evaporation of the moisture, which carries of tne natural warmth of the body, thus causing the blood to be chilled. Ihe effect of chill is to close the pores o: the skin, ho that the waste particles of matter cannot escape from the bDdy in ttiis direction but are thrown back and thus poison the blood. Wneu it is not possible to take off the shoes and stockings, and dry and warm the feet promptly after getting' tbem wet, it is better to let them cemain wet until we can attend to them properly. To dry them in the sun or before a fire, without taking off shoei and stockings sui substituting dry ones, is extremely haz irdous. There is but little danger of taking cold after wetting the feet if we walk rapidly enough to keep up the natural temperature of the body, and keep on walking until we reach some place wnere we can take off shoes and stockings and thoroughly dry them or change them for dry ones. A cold is less likely to result from a thorough drencliing of the whole body than from wetting tne feet alone. Poople seldom take cold when they aie exposed to sudden lowering cf the temper- ature of the air while they are out of doors they may have their hands and feet frost bitten, and become almost unconscious from freezing, and yet efcape the oangers cf an ordinary cold. A cold in the head may frequently be eut short if treated at once, by suufiiag up the nose the fumes of spirits ot camphor, am- monia or biy rum. This remedy must be applied every few minutes to be eliective. Iu the meantime the patient should remain in a wai'm room, and tivoid draughts of air. If the cold is not cured ia twenty-tour hours, it will continue ten or twelve days in spite of treatment, or if neglected its eflects may last a lifetime, CJjl is result in serious and tatal diseases only when neglected.
