Around tho Depo,,.

The scene around the railway depots
at present Ia very stirring, and not
without interest wlthal. The grain
elevator announces by the volumes
OF black smoke that roll from its lofty
smokestack, and the cars that crowd
Its front, that there Is no stagnation in
that direction. Trains are continually
backing and filling as fast as the cars
are loaded. One Of the congresses is
temporarily disabled, but tho other
gives out the busy hum Of
labor. Along the open platforms
huge piles Of cotton bales, make the
solid structures almost groan with their
ponderous bulk. Inside the depots
merchandise OF every description il
laid in great heaps, which no sooner
accumulate than they seem TO melt
away under the busy hands which are
conveying them to the various express
wagons, carts, drays and floats which
jostle each other In their eager haste
to load and be of, only
to come again and again In endless
repetition of the same thing. Every
thing Is activity, energy, In fact, busi'
ness. II Is u source OF amusement to
watch the negroes handling the cotton
and hear their talk. One short, stout,
duck-legged fellow, regular king
Pepin, attempted to pull bale out
from corner where II was jammed,
but failed In his Efforts several times.
He waxed wroth and thus apostro-
phized the offending lint.
"Ding gone my linsey britches,
you thinks you's n otter, do you,
and kin whip coon dog, but when
you runs agin dis niger you runs agin
apoplar snagW With that he tackled
the cotton with renewed vigor and
triumphantly brought 1t out. Another,
a huge fellow, pulled several times at q
bale, but his hook tore out each
time. An employe standing near,
book and pencil In hand, re-
marked to him, "She's too much
for you, oh, Bill9" "With a look of
supreme contempt, BIZ replied, "What
Boss, dat bale o. cotton-Bos, dog my
cats II can't whup de man dat kin
carry dat cotton on his shoulders, In
three minutes by the watchv' When
we come to reflect on 1t, what an ex-
haustive, comprehensive reply Those
who have leisure and taste for these
things, can find good opportunities in
Dallas to indulge their tastes.

How TO Breathe Properly.

From Public Health.
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 at this present moment
are suffering from more or less severe al
fections of the lungs or throat, owing to
a faulty mode Of respiration-in other
words. because they breathe through the
mouth instead of through the nostrlls.
The mouth has its own functions TO per-
form in connection with eating, drink

nostriIs, the air passing over the mucuS
membrane lining the various chamber
of the nose becomes warm to the temper
ature of the body before reaching tht
lungs; but if he takes in air between the
lrps and through the mouth, the cold air
comes in contact with the delicate linn
membrane of the throat and lung, and
gives rise TO local chill, frequently end

without knowing the reason why they
are benefited, wear respirators over then

the amount of air which enters between
the lips, and virtually compel themseive:
TO breathe through the nostrils. But they
could attain iust the same result by keep
ing the lips closed, habit WHICH is easily
