After the host, had persuaded Mr. Huntington to take a seat on the floor, a half-palsied old woman insisted upon Eadling our. for him a bowl of tea.

A few bits of ragged cloth on film mud floor for sleeping purposes, a 'mlfdozen metal utensils, and an iron got full of Himalayan tea, kept warm over some embers, comprised all the visible equipment for housekeeping. ‘Vfl When the little black oows had been driven and pulled out of the way, Mr. Huntington de’sfcended he an almAOSt closed shed used for the two or ihree hardy sheep and goats. and ushered steeping, into a dark stable containing a little pony, shaggy, like all the ani- mals. Bending low once more, he climbed over a high sill, and was in the warm, close family living-room. Although it was April 111b, the snow, even on a level, was higher than the tops of the houses. Where it had» been shoveled off the flat roofs, it formed high banks, protecting them from the wind, and making them the favorite sitting-room at. that season, and even in winter, for 'the sunshine is always warm in that dry, cloudlessr climate.

Such, at legs-t, is the impnesslon gained from Mr. Ell-s- worth Huntingwn’s recent book, “The Pulse of Asia." Mr. Paul Charhonneau, St. Jerome, Que., says: “For months I suffered tortures from indigestion. After every meal the misery was intense, so that I finally ate most spam‘ngly. I tried several so-called indigestion cures, but. they did me no good. My general health began to rundown. I suffered fmm headaches and dizziness and pains about‘tho heart. Often after the light- est. meal I would be afflicted with a Smothering sensation. Finally my mo- ther induced me to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.

I keep my mouth shut, and Su have only one entrance to guard. Firstly, I keep out of the way as much as possible of people with colds. If a coughing, sneezing man sits opposite you or beside you in a train or tram, you cannot avoid infection. You get the germs in your nostrils inevitably. Pro- vided you are vigorous and healthy at the moment, you escape. But if you are fatigued going home at night, or chilled gcing to work in the morning, you al- most certainly catch the cold. CURES FOR COLDS. ‘When I get home after such an en- counter, or, in any case, if I feel the be: ginnings of a cold, I put a spoonful of brandy or whisky in the palm of my hand, and sniff it up. Do this at the very first sign, and you will stop the cold nine times out of ten. Menthol snuff, or ordi- nary tobacco snuff, serves the same pur- pose. But you must use it rarely, or it loses its effect. Borlc acid, mixed with vaseline and used as an ointment inside the nostril morning and night, is an al- most certain preventive. You need use it only when colds are about. Person- ally, I find that overeoats and fires in- crease the chances of catching cold. Plenty of exercise diminishes them. “Rheumatism? I never have rheuma- tism, for this reason. At the first faint twinge of pain in shoulder, knee or wrist, I cover the part with flannel. You can make a knee-cap out of the leg of an old pair of pants, 0n the shoulder, under the coat, you can put a small piece of flannel. The Wrists you can pro- tect with wool cuffs. But wear these things only when the rheumatism threatens. Coddling is bad. Besides this measure. exercise yourself. Indian clubs used twice a day\will keep shoulder and wrist joints free and healthy. Stoop into *1 sitting posture twenty times every morning to bend the knees. Touch your toes with your hands, to bend the back.

Wash your teeth in iepid water with soap and a soft brush morning and night. If you have the least pain, apply a little bicarbonate of soda. You can put it on the toothbrush, and use it as a powder.
