Almost everybody has a remedy for a <...!.;, which he is ever ready ;<> reco'mtnead toothers after detailing his \\o-:t glands are suddenly closed, and thc impurities which should pass on through the skin are-forced back at '? thc interior of the 1?? ?ly," vitiating the bl.1 and putting extra work <>n the lungs and other internal organs. Jus?? beneath the surface of the skin, all ovei the body, there i-- a neXwork <>f . minute b'l?-?4>d vessels, liner than the ( finest lace: When one is chilled the \ blood is forced from these capillary; j ve>se's int<< que or more of tile inter- j organs, producing inflammation I ' or congestion, and thus often causing ! j diseases ?langerons to life. The time ? i ;?? treat a cold is at the earliest pos-! j si ble moment after you have taken j it. And your prime object should be to restore the perspiration and the ' capillary circulation. As soon, then, ' as you feel that you have taken cold i [ have a good fire in your bedroom. -. Put your feet into hot water, as hot as can be borne, and containing a . tablespoonful of mustard. Have it in a vessel so dee]) that the water j : will come up well toward the knees. Throw a blanket over the whole to j prevent rapid evaporation and cool-1 i ing. In from five to ten minutes j take the feet out, wipe them dry, and gel into a bed on which there are two extra blankets. Just before or aiier getting into bed drink a large glass of lemonade as hot as possible, or a gla>s of hot water containing a tea spoonful of cream of tartar, with a a little sugar if desired. Should there be a pain in the chest, side or i.:i?-k. indicating pleurisy or pneumo J nia, dip a small towel in cold water and wring it as dry as possible. Fold the towel so that it wili cover a lit tle more surface than is affected by the pain. Cover this with a piece of flannel, and both with oiled silk, or better, with oiled linen ; now wind a ?trip of flannel a foot wide several ? times arouud the chest. The heat of the body will warm the towel ; almost immediately, the oiled linen ' and dannel will retain the heat and i moisture, and, steaming the part, will generally cause the pain to dis appear. Slvould there be a pain or soreness in the throat, you should . treat in ? similar manner with w?t j compress and flannel? bandage. Eat j sparingly pf plain, simple food. ; Baked apples and other fruit, ; bre?d : and batter, bread abd milk, milk toast, baked potatoes or raw oysters may be eaten. By following. the above directions intelligently and faithfully yon will ordinarily che?k I the progres? bf the cold and prevent j serious, p?ssibly fatal, illness. ..."*. W. Atlee.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The sil ver and tariff questions, the anti-op tion hill and the reduction of appro priations were the leading topics of consideration by the Fifty-Secorfd Congress, which expired by consti tutional limitation at noon yesterday. Secondary only in importance to these matters were the measures re lating to ' the World's Fair, equip ments of railroads with automatic ! car couplers, national quarantine and immigration, Behring Sea and Ha waiian annexation. Nothing of an affirmative nature, except to prevent two items in the McKinley law tak ing effect, was actually accomplished as far as respects silver, tariff or anti-option - action taken on each one of these questions in one branch ofC Congress being negatived bv the I action or non-action of the other branch. "The result of the agitation of the necessity for retrenchment of expen ditures is not apparent in any con siderable change in the aggregate appropriations carried hythe national I supply bills, for they amount to ' about as much as in the Fifty-First I Congress-laws on the statute books I preventing some large reductions, j which otherwise would have been! made, while the decrease which it ! was possible to effect was offset by increased appropriations for pensions and rivers and harbors. The condition of the public tre-1 sury, however, though it did not re- ! snit in the Fifty-First Congress get- ; : ting below the billion-dollar limit, undoubtedly influenced legislation to ] a considerable extent, and prevented i Lue authorization of many proposed . new expenditures for improvements i )f the public service, for public build- ? mgs. for the payment of claims and ?, "or other purposes. A notable in- i ?tance of the operation of this intiu- : j mee is seen in the fact that not a ( ?ingle public building bill passed the l? 'louse, and it was only by putting a t lumber of them on the sundry civil Ctpr?-pri?tion bill that any authoriza- j 1 were s?ctfflKSX for public buildings' The silver questio.. Ely before the attention of ^Jyrtead Ity the alternate efforts of the advo-., cate? of free coinage and of the re-. peal of the Sherman law. The coin- j: age committee of the House, in the first session, reporte! a free silver bil!, which, after an exciting debate, was saved from defeat by the casting vote of the Speaker, but was after ward filibustered to death, the friends of the bill tailing to secure the signa tures of a majority of the Democrats to a petition asking for a cloture rule in its behalf. The Senate then passed a free coinage bill-; but when the free silver men renewed their,1 fight in the House, they were out numbered by 14 votes and of course , failed. The anti-silver men met similar fate in their efforts to secure the ' repeal of the present law, the Senate refusing, by a decisive vote, to con sider it, and the House killing the Andrew Cate bill by declining to ! vote so as to give its friends the par liamentary right to move cloture on it, without which it concededly should never be forced to a vote in t!ie closing hours of Congress. On the tariff, the dominant party in the House adopted a policy of at tacking the McKinley Act in detail, largely for political reasons, and partly for the reason that in view of the political complexion of the Sen-j ate it was practically out of the quos- j tion to pass a general tariff revision i bill through the Senate, while a spe cial measure might stand more show of passage. The result was the en actment into law pf two bills, con taining block tin on the tree list and tine linen at 35 per cent ad valorem. Under the McKinley law, large duties were to take effect on these items in the near fut?re. Other separate bills were passed through the House only to be pigeon-holed in the Senate as follows : Free wool and reduction of duties on woollen manufactures, free cotton bagging machinery, free binding twine, free silver lead ores, (where the value, not weight, of the silver exceeds that of lead in any importation), free tin [?late, terne plate, and taggers tin, and the limitation to *10(J of the amount of personal baggage return ing tourists may bring into thc Uni ted States. The anti-option bill passed both Houses, but was killed by the refusal of the House to suspend the rules and agree by a two-thirds vote to the amendments put on the biK by the Senate, the opponents of the measure manoeuvring so as to pre vent Mr. Hatch making effective bis majority in favor of the measure and forcing him at the last moment to try suspension of the rules. t A The pure food bill, the running mate of the anti-option bill, passed the Senate, but was never able to get consideration in the House. World's Fair legislation comprised a grant of $'2,500,000 in souvenir h3lf dollars in aid of the fair, the closing of its gates on Sunday, the appropria tion of various amounts for different fair purposes and the passage of sun dry Acts of special nature and minor importance. The automatic coupler bill, shorn of its drastic features, was enacted* into law, as wa3 also the national quarantine bill, increasing the pow ers of the Marine Hospital Service to meet the threatened dangers from cholera, and the immigration law, imposing additional restrictions in immigration, but not suspending it entirely. The Senate averted trouble over the Behring Sea seal fisheries by ratifying the treaty ^ of arbitration. It also ratified extradition treaties with Russia and other countries, out still has before it the treaty of an nexation of the Hawaiian Islands. . The openingof the Cherokee Out ?et was provided for in the* Indian bill under the clause appropriating $8,295,000 for its purchase from the Indians, $295,000 to belaid in cash and ?8,000,000 in five equal an installments. Approximately, 425 House ao' Senate bills ami Joint Resolm became laws, making 660 Acts on the statute books as the resul the work of Congress. A m:tj? of these measures were of ina only to individuals or localities, b for the relief of citizens, for bridging of streams, for tlie Dist of Columbia, for rights of way, An unusual proportion of claims were for the relief of Southern ri The House passed, in round n hers, 624 bills, of which 2<>iJ fa of passage in the Senate, and in neighborhood of 0'2? bills passed the Senate failed in the House, eluding a long list of public build bills, many private pension bills . other measures including increa expenditures. Three bills were vetoed by President, viz: To refer the McG rahan claim to the Court of Cia (a second McGarrahan bill failing action in the House), to amend Court of Appeals Act, and in re tion to marshals in United Sta Courts in Alabama. This last became a law by passage (ncr I veto, Senator Hoar stating that had been vetoed through a misund standing of its provisions. The President subjected three b to a ''{locket" veto, and two otl bills failed of engrossment tn til for presentation to him. All w< of comparatively small importan Among the measures of impo ance which failed to get the endor ment of either House were bills i the creation of a sub-treasury s^ tom ; for an extensi: e system of f? tifications; for a uniform system bankruptcy; for taxation of F?dei notes and repeal of the tax on Sta banks ; to transfer the revenue cn ter service to the navy; for an ale aolic liquor commission; constit donal amendments making the Pr ?dent ineligible to re-election, chan: :ng the time of the meeting of Coi jress and for woman suffrage ; in cation and arid lands bill; the Mc .agua Canal bill ; to permit railroa >ooIing (beaten on a test vote); t establish postal savings banks; ic tn income tax; to refund Ufe cotto ax ; to repeal the mail ship subsid ^ct; to repeal the Federal electib a ws.

Hill to his greates political rivai, President Cleveland Senator Hill came to the Whit< !

Mr. Hill carne early. Thi great flood of office-seekers had no! begun to flow into the White lions* Ijwhen he arrived. Ile passed rapidlj through the hallway to the nublk part of the mansion to the room ol Private Secretary Thurber, who evi dently had been posted, for he ash ered Hill into the adjoining excre tive office without a moment'? delay, When HiU entered thc President'? 1 room word was sent to Door Keepei i Loeffler that Cleveland was very busily engaged and could not see any i visitors for some time. As a conse t quence the arriving delegations soon i tilled the cabinet room, and by the r time Hill left the White House there ; were more men than seats in the ) apartment. The 'interview was, o? r coarse, of a strictly private charac r ter, but from the fact that it- had . been previously 'arranged, and from "its length, there can be' littft doubt i that it was. of more than a rflere ofir r>> cial social character..

The price opened out at 63 cents a pound : now the price is 9 to 10 cents a pound.

If this is done it will insure \'?\ LO l?^cents for cotton in the fall of I$93. Lam au old farmer in my three score years, and I have never seen a farmer prosper by raising ail cotton and buying all his supplies for man and beast. We have it in our power to get our own price for cotton. You ask how? I say raise all you con sume at home, and cotton as a sur plus. Have it ginned, store in a good dry place and-wait foi an agent from some cotton mil] to come and ask you what you wi H take for y< ur cot ton. Sch enough to pay your taxes and store the rest. A six or seven million bale crop means 12J to 15 cents per pound; a nine million haie crop means 5 to O' cents per pound. Which is best?
