Every Californian knows that the Pacif-

years enjoyed nearly complete monopoly
Of the carrying trade between the Atlantic

most powerful, exacting, and soulless cor

that it was subsidized and protected by
Democratic Congresses and President, and
that the passage of Pacific Railroad bill
(Which would destroy the power of that
gigantic monopoly was impossible while

"HIGH" LlvING.-The air of cellar
Is damp, close musty aud vitiated; that of
house-top is clear, pure and bracing
On the surface of the earth the atmos-
phere9 is cold, raw and impure on the
high mountains it is dry, rariGed and
health. giving The purer the air is, the
more life does it impart to the blood, the
more perfectly is the brain nourished, and
the more vigorously does the brain work
aud the body move. The higher and
greater bulk is required to impart given
amount of nourishment to the system; this
greater rarity excites the instincts of our
nature to deep, fuller breathing, without
any effort en- our part, and this kind OF
breathing is antagonistic to consumption,
that fell scourge to civilized society, which
destroys full one-sixth Of the adult popula-
ton. The naturalist Button says that
animals inhabiting high latitudes have
larger lungs and more capacious chests
thahth those that live in the valleys. In the
city Of Mexico, situated 5000 feet above
the level of the sea- of one hundred dying
annually, only. three are from consumption:
while in our large cities only few feet
above the level Of the sea, eighteen out oi
every hundred perish from that disease
1t should therefore be the aim of every
student, of every sedentary person, o.
every invalid, to have the room in which
very large portion of the inactive part O
life is spent, as far above ground as practi
cable, and in such a situation as will allow
the sun to shine into it for the longest por
ton of the day, for this rarifes the ali
still more, and still more aids in develop
ing and expanding the lungs by the greater
depth aud fulluess Of breathing which the
increased atmospheric rarity induces.
