UTILIZATION OF COBWEBS

OAAAAAAA4O4S " CO0 " E0O.
Cobwebs have been applied to various
uses. The delicate cross.hairs in the
telescope Of surveying instruments are
fine webs taken from spiders, species
that are specially selected for their pro.
duction Of an excellent quality of this
material. The spider, when caught, il
made to spin his thread by tossing
him from hand to hand, in cas-: he ise';n.
disposed to furnish the article, the end
is attached to piece of wire which is
doubled into two PAL allel lengths, the
distance apart exceeding little the
diameter ofthe instrument. As the spider
hangs and descends from this, the web Is
wound upon it by turning the wire
around. The coils are then gummcd to
the wire and kept for use Is required.
About century ago. Boa Of Languedoc
succeeded in making pair Of gloves and
pair Of stockings from the thread Of the
spider. They were very strong and Of
beautiful gray color. Other attempts of
the same kind have been made; but
Reaumur, who was appointed by the
Royal Academy to report on the subject,
stated that the web Of the spider is not
equal to that of the silkworm either in
strength or luster. The cocoons of tho
latter weigh from three to four grains, 50

Among the notable professional men of this !
country Who have achieved extraordinary sue
cess is DR.. R. V. PIERCE, of Buffalo, N. Y. The
prominence which he has attained has been
reached through strictly legitimate means, and,
so far, therefore: be deserves the enviable rep
utation which he enjoys. This large measure
OF success is the result Of thorough and care
full preparation for his calling, and extensive
reading during long and unuasully large prac-
tice, which have enabled him to gain high
commentator, even from his professional,
brethren. Devotlng his attention to certain
srecialtes ofthe science he has so carefully in
vestigated, he has been rewarded in a re-
markable degree. In these specialties, he has
become recognized leader. Not few ofthe
remedies prescribed by him have, it is said,
been adopted and prescribed by physicians in
their private practice. His pamphlets
and larger works have been received as use
full contributions to medical knowledge. He
has recently added another, and perhaps more
important work, because of more general ap-
plication, to the list OF his published writings
The book entitled, "The Peoples Common
Sense Medical Adviser" is designed to enter
into general circulation. DR.. Pierce has re-
ceived acknowledgements and honors from
many sources, and especially scientific degrees
from two Of the first medical institutions in the
land.

DISEASES OF HORSES.

The diseases to which the horse is
liable, are very numerous, but ninety in
every hundred are caused by neglect, and
are, therefore, readily prevented by Civ.
ing the animals proper care. As the cold,
rainy season approaches in the. Northern
States, we shall begin to hear Of ''greasy
heel, disease caused by neglect in re-.
moving mud and snow from the legs and
feet when tho animal is returned to the
stable after driving, or permitting it to
stand in his own filth. No horse ever
had what is termed *:grease," or sore
heels, that was properly groomed and
given dry, clean stall. The same may
be said of that loathsome disease known

frog and hoof through standing in wet
soil or in animal excremcnt. Mango and
other diseases Of tho skin usually or

they may be transmitted to animals we'll

except through actual contact. Ring

arc usually caused by. strains, hard driv.
ing, or by accident. Founder, heaves,

duced by hard driving, feeding, or water.

giving musty, poor food when in the

now TO BREATHE PROPERLY

Most people breathe properly. often
more by accident or instinct than by de-.
sign; but on the other hand, hundreds Of
thousands do not breathe properly,
while many thousands 1T this present
moment are suffering from more Or less
severe affections Of. the lungs or throat,
owing to = faulty mode Of respiration
in other words, because they breathe
through the mouth instead Of through
the nostrils. The mouth has its own
functions to perform in connection with
eating, drinking and speaking: and the
nostrils have theirs, viz, smelling and
breathing. In summer time the error Of
respiring through the mouth is not so
evident as 1T the present season, when it
is undoubtedly fraught with danger to
the person who commits this mistake. If
any one breathes through the natural
channel. the nostrils,. the air passing over
the mucous membrane lining the various
chambers of the nose, becomes warmed to
the temperature of the body before reach.
ing the lungs; but if he takes in air be.
tween the lips and through the mouth,
the cold air comes in contact with the
delicate lining membrane Of the throat
and lungs. and gives rise to local chill,
frequently ending in inflammation. Many
persons, without knowing the reason
why they are benefited, wear respirators
over the mouth in winter If they happen
to 90 out Of doors. By doing this they
diminish the amount of air which enters
between the lips, and virtually compel
themselves to breathe through the nos
trils. But they could attain just the
same result by keeping the lips closed, a
habit which is easily acquired, and con-
duces to the proper and natural way of
breathing. Wo believe that if people
would only adopt this simple habit in
other words. ifthey would take for the
rule in breathing, 'sShut your. MOUTH
there would be an immense diminution in
the two classes Of affections, viz, those of
the lungs and throat, which count many
thousands of victims in this country in
the course of Z single year. Man is the
only animal which has acquired the per-
neicious and Of tent atal habit of breathing
through the mouth. 1t commences in
childhood, and becomes confirmed in
adult life. often engendering consumption,
chronic bronchitis, relaxed sore throat,
or some other disease of the lungs or
throat, which is set down, usually. to a
different cause altogether. In concluding
this short article, We venture to ask our
readers to judge for themselves. When
they step out in the morning into the
fresh, but cold, air, let them try the diff.
ference Of feeling arising from the two
modes Of breathing through the nostrils
and hokwoor tho line tn TIM fornor
case they will find that they can breathe
easily and freely, yet with comfort, while
the fresh air, warmed to the temperature
of the body by its contact with the nasal
mucous membrane, is agreeable to the
lungs; in the other case, if they draw in
few inspirations between the parted
lips, the cold air rushing in direct to the
lungs, creates feeling Of GOODNESS and
discomfort, and an attack Of coughing
often comes on.
