Expanding the Chest

Take a strong rope and fasten it
to beam overhead; to the lower
end of the rope attach a stick three
feet long, convenient to grasp. with
the hands. Phe rope should be
fastened to the center of the stick.
which should hang six or eight
inches above the head. Let a per-
son grasp this stick with the hands
two or three feet apart, and swing
very moderately at tirst,-perhars
only bear the weight, if very weak,
and gradually increase as the
muscles gain strength from the ex-
ercise, until'it may be used from
three to five times daily. The con-
nection of the arms with the body,
with the exception of the clavicle
with the breast-bone, being a mus
cular attachment to the ribs, the
effect of this exercise is to elevate
the ribs and enlarge the chest; and
as nature allows no vacuum, the
lungs expand to fill the cavity, in
crea-ing the volume Of air, the
natural purifier Of blood, and pre-
venting the congestion or the de-
posit Of tuberculous matter. We
have prescribed the above for all
cases of hemorrhage Of the lungs
and threatened consumption, for
:hirty-fve years, and have been
able to increase the measure Of
the chest from two to four inches
within a few months, and with
good results. But especially as a
preventive we would recommend
this exercise. Let those who love
to live cultivate q well-formed, ca
pacious chest. The student, the
merchant, the sedentary. the young
of both sexes-ay, all, - should
have swing on which to stretch
themselves daily. We are certain
that if this were to be practiced by
the rising generation, in a dress al
lowing a free and full development
of the body, many would be saved
from consumption. Independently
of it's beneficial results, the exer-
else is an exceedingly pleasant one,
and as the apparatus costs very lit
tie, there need be no difficulty
about any one enjoying it who
wishes to. = Dio LeWis, IN "7o-

Before the Glass.

The maiden twines the rainbow pearls
Ahcut her golden hair,
Ea.ile loosely yet some wayward curls
Caress t.er forehead fair;
Then clasps around her golden throat
Mo.e pearls on velvet warm;
All never get did white robes float
About so sweet form.
She rises: towards the mirror tall
She turns her satinea feet,
he Glarces quickly rise and fall,
So iaira sight u meet;
The gentle bushes come and 60
As eye,ids droop and lift.
For al! she cannot choose but know
She has the fatal gift.
VIII knowledge make her wise in time,
AND teach ber that her dover
Is Eruigful source Of many q crime,
Has victims every hcrr?
Go, Ethel, win besuty's race,
Remembering ere you start,
Cnlovuiy is the lovelfest face
That Hides O truthless heart.

For the Cholera.

More than forty years ago, when
it was found that prevention for the
Asiatic cholera was easier than
cure, the learned doctors Of both
hemispheres drew up a prescrip-
ton, which was publis shed (for the
working people) in the New York
Sun, and took the name of the
"Sun cholera mixture" :" Our con-
temporary never lent its name to a
better article. We have seen it in
constant use for a number Of years,
and found it to be the best remedy
for looseness Of the bowels ever
yet devised. It is to be commended
for several reasons. It is not to be
mixed with liquor, and therefore
will net be used as an alcoholic be-
verage; its ingredients are we'll
known among the common people,
and it will have no prejudice to
combat; each of the materials is
in equal proportion to the other,
and it may therefore be compound
ed without professional skill: and,
as the dose is so very small, it may
be carried in tiny phial in the
waistcoat pocket, and be always at
hand. It is: Tint. opii, capsici,
rhei co., menM pip, campho. Mix the
above in equal parts; dose, ten to
thirty drops. In plain terms, take
equal parts tincture Of opium, red
pepper, rhubarb, peppermint and
camphor, and mix them for use.
In case of dlarrhea. take dose of
ten to twenty drops in three or four
teaspoonsfnl of water. No one
who has this by him and takes it in
time, will ever have the cholera.
We commend it to our W estern
friends, and hope that the recipe
will be widely published. Even
when no cholera is anticipated, it is
an excellect remedy for ordinary
summer complaint.

MEMORY. We often hear of a
"bad memory" a "treacherous
memory" but seldom Of 'sgood
memory" Why is this? Is it be-
cause some are more favored than
others? By no means. Memory
is as susceptible of improvement as
the voice or any Of the faculties.
We have bad memories because we
badly. treat them. Abuse your
brain, yonr ey es, your stomach, and
they will abuse you, the golden
rule tosthe contrary notwithstapd-
ing.
Neglect your memory, your
friends, or your stock, and you can
soon have poor stock, faithless
friends, and a "bad memory" !"
Never insult your memory with 81
can't trnst it. I rely upon my mem
oranda.' Throw your memoranda
away. When you wish your mem
ory to retain anything, you must
impress that something upon it 50
forcibly that its photograph will be
there at all times for you to look
at. To do this, you must first
make good impression; and then
firmly fix. it-not in one corner,
but on the extended pages of what
will soon be your vcrita6le memory.
Practice your memory as you do
your music. Frequently brush the
dust off every photograph iu its
album. Repeat stanzas, poems,
etc. If you 60 shopping or to
town, first impress your memory
with the, number Of articles you
wish to purchase; then arrange
them into classes, and when thus
don't go with your mind
full Of the latest fashions or the
gossip, but renew the I'M
pressions frequently, lest they be
blurred by some "sensation' or
'.rumor" before you get to your
destination.
