The eminent DIR. Rush says that the exer-
else of the organs of the breast by singing,
contributes to defend them very much from
those diseases to which the climate and other
causes expose them. The Germans are sell
dom afflicted with consumption, and splitting
of blood is almost unknown among them-a
fact attributed by DR.. Rush, in part, to the
strength which their lungs acquire by exer-
cising them so frequently in vocal music,
which constitutes an essential branch of their
education, from their earliest years.

A GSsD SUGGEsTIoN.-In reference to the
growing demand and dearness of paper in
America and England, it has been suggested
to the Washington Star, that if some enter
prising Yankee would take hold of the matter,
he would probably remedy the evil, with profit
to himself and to his fellow men, by buying
up some of the millions of pounds of damaged
cotton which are annually wasted around the
cotton fields and gin-houses of the South, and
converting it into paper. This cotton might
be obtained for a less price than rags, and
would be subject to less wastage. The Star
doubts not that if paper mills were established
in the cotton region, paper manufactured
from waste cotton would in few years be-
come an important article for foreign exporta-
ton, besides supplying the home demand.
