How We Breathe.

Mrs. Walter @ Lyman, in lecture
in New York recently, said:
Few persons know how to breathe
so as to promote q perfect and thor
ough publication of the blood, and
still fewer suspect that the want or
lack of proper breathing is the prin-
cipal cause of the inactivity of the
liver. Men breathe more naturally
than women, having greater freedom
OF action, and taking more regular
bodily exercise, their mode of dress
giving them greater expansion of the
thoracic and abdominal viscera.-
Hence fewer men than women suffer
from lung and liver complaints The
lungs contain six hundred millions
OF air cells, composed of the most
delicate tissues, which shrink and
expand according to the action Of
heat and cold, exercise or rest, thus
making sudden change from an
over-heated atmosphere to sharp
cold, dangerous and certainly try
ing experiment. Women, as gen.
eral thing, breathe only with the
thoraclc muscles, allowing the lower
and larger part of the lungs to col
lapse and harden, and thus weaken
ing their power of resistance. This
breathing power may be restored
even at an advanced age, by judicious
muscular exercise and by admitting
to the pulmonary system the largest
amount possible of fresh air.

resY-The Chiearn Trih,lne has .

eY-The Chicago Tribune has an
editorial on the loss by farmers, by
grain raising during the past year,
and says they have found a practical
compensation in the high price real
lied for their hogs, the receipts from
this crop having saved many of them
from bankruptcy. If hogs had been
sold at price corresponding with
wheat, there would have been wide
spread distress in the West, and all
classes of business men would have
felt sharp prick, which prevented
farmers from paying for past pur-
chases and buying new bills Of goods.
But the farmers have not made the
most out of the situation. Though
shrewd enough in driving their or
binary bargains. encouraged by the
prognosls of q short crop, many of
them bought pork on options at high
prices, to the full extent Of their
means, and have recently bad tho
satisfaction of settling with the sell
ers at loss Of two or more dollars
per barrel, thus losing every cent
made by the sale of their hogs -
Speculation in pork has been much
more rampant this winter than in
any former year since the close of
the wac, and much trading has been
done for parties in the country
While this has benefited commission
men, and put money into the pockets
Of sharp ones here, it has not been
so conclusive to the interests of farm
ers and drovers that they can afford
TO repeat the experiment.

The Careless Use Of Lucifer Matches.

We believe that many of the fires
announced in the journals as believed
TO be the work of an incendiary, have
their real cause in the careless use Of
matches; and we propose to point
out some of the ways in which prop
erty If thus endangered. We feel
quite confident that in many instan-
ces risk is incurred from want of
knowledge.
There are several kinds of matches
IN popular use. OF these, probably
the safest are those in which sulphur
forms considerable portion of the
compound used for tipping. Such
matches require considerable friction
to ignite them, and unless some de-
migrating substance, like chlorate of
potash and kindred salts, is used, they
do not detonate when ignited.
Some matches in quite popular use
are so explosive that they detonate
almost like percussion cap and
when they chance to be tipped too
profusely, the burning material will
scatter to some distance by the sheer
force of the explosion. We have
seen the flIsed-burning compound
from such II match fly from one to
two feet. The material thus scatter
ed would in many cases do no harm,
but in a comparatively few instances
it might kindle a disastrous confa-
grafton. Falling into loose cotton,
infiamable liquids, fine shavings, ETC.,
it would be likely to ignite them, but
as in such cases the fire is generally
at once discovered, and is smothered
out by the hand or foot, the cases in
which fires thus caused now become
disastrous are still fewer than those
in which they might become so were
the persons who use matches always
needless, or worse, intoxicated
Unfortunately, there are occasion.
ally needless and tipsy people, and,
50 far as we are aware, they are not
prohibited the use of matches hence
1t may be fairly inferred that occa.
sional fires do occur by the use OF
matches which violently detonate
when with a safer kind of match nc
harm would accrue.
In the hands Of such people, the
fuses used for cigar lighting and
which hold fire for considerable
time, are exceedingly dangerous
| Thrown down often before the fire is
extinguished, a glowing hot coal
they are, Of course, liabable to ignite
almost any highly combustible sub.
stance with which they come in con
tact.
The writer once extinguished 8
fire in wooden box of sawdust, used
as spittoon, caused by a fuse cast
away BY a drunken person, and
which would, doubtless, but for it,
timely discovery, have done immense
damage.
The dropping of book once igni-
ted bunch Of decorating matches
lying on our table. Such an accident
occurring at night, through the agen.
cy of some mysterious cat, might
well pass into the papers as the work
of an incendiary.
Such matches are often dropped
upon floors by persons too careless
to pick them up, and are subsequent
ly ignited by stepping upon them
Others. who would stoop to pick uI
q whole match, would not think i
worth their while to attend to bro
ken piece, although the latter, per
haps, is the tipped end, and just as
dangerous as the whole match woulc
be, should it chance to be stepped
