Lung Ventilation.

The patient must with scrupulous con-
scientiousness insist on breathing fresh,
pure air, end must remember that
the air of closed rooms is always more
or less bad, impure. No man, how
ever uncleanly, would drink muddy,
dirty water. Unfortunately, for detect
ing impurities Of the air, the only organ
we have is the nose, and in most persons
the nose is of so ObtuSe a senSibility that
it is Of no service. Besides dust, injury
to the lungs is caused principally by the
products of respiration (carbonic acid
and watery vapor), which acts as poison
on tie lungs and blood. A party which
occupies room for hours, breathing the
same air, might be compared to party
of bathers drinking the water in which
they bathe. The man who on the street
cuts off from his lungs the "cold' air, is
like ruminant. If this literally true
comparison were universally accepted
and acted on, the number of cough-com.
plants would be reduced one-half.
The patient must keep the window of
his bedroom open. Night-air is fresh
air without daylight; he who fears night.
air is like a child who breads darkness;
the light in the room after the lamp is
extinguished is also night.air. In close
crowded, heated rooms, the patient sui-
fering from complaint respires con-
sumptiveIy. In winter artificial heat
may be employed, but the window must
be opened above, and thus we have at
once both warmth and ventilation. In
the city night-air is always wholeSomer
than day-air, being both purer and
stiler.
If it be objected that "what suits the
blacksmith does not suit the tailor" !
reply that may be true of a plate Of
sauerkraut. But here the case is just
the reverse. The blacksmith who has no
trouble with his lungs can stand vapor-
dust, heal, fatigue but the one who has pull
monary disease risks his life if he has
not always abundance of fresh, pure air.
So far of the What'-lung ventilation.
Next, of the WhyI
On rising, let the patient drink fresh
milk mot coffee, which will be reIished
all the more if one wakes with an in
clnation to cough. Then let him ap.
proach the open window, brandish the
arms over the head-which enables the
lung apices to inhale air more easily
and for lew minutes fetch as deep in
spirations Of air as possible. He must
frequently take such deep inspirations in
the open air.
If the lungs do not become free, let
him Introduce into them-not into the
something to act on the dry
mucous mem brane-as the vapor Of Wa
ter or Of camomiIe-tea.
If the cough is caused rather by a
"scratchy" feeling in the throat, if it is
spasmodic, let him swallow or sargIe
some substance that will quiet the nerves.
Cold water is best-in summer ice.wa'

service, but no syrup or any hot drink

IA moment of il-temper and grudginCss
has upon the lips, and judge what may
be expected from habitual series Ol
such movements. Remark the REVERSE
aud make similar judgment. The mouth
is the trankest part Of the face; it can
not in the least conceal its sensations
We can hide neither ill-temper with IT,
nor good; we may affect what we please,
but atfectation will not help Us. In r
wrong cause it will only make our OBJ

them, The mouth is the seat OF one
class Of emotions, AS the eyes are OF an
other; or, rather, it expresses the same
emotions, but in greater detail, ana WIN
greater irrepressible tendency to be IN

Of sharp sorrow, or full-breathng Joy,
Of candor, of reserve, Of anxious carer

DOS'T WASTE SoAP.sUDs.-It is well to
have grape vines planted so that the waste
liquids from the wash-house can be used to
fertilize them. If there is any food the vine
especially loves, it is the soapy liquids which
accumulate on washing. days in families.
Vines drencbed every week with these
liquids will flourish astonishingly, and
extend themselves SO as to cover large
buildings, every branch bearing fruit. A
distinguished Ohio horticulturist says that
his family Of ten persons eat ton of grapes,
fresh and canned, during the year; and he
thinks not only does it pay in the matter
of health, but also in the saving of grocers
bills, through the diminished desire for
pastries and other rich food.

dence TO this:
The present Car, who completed his
Goth year on the Goth Of last April, Is
the only Russian sovereign, during over
two centuries and hall, who attained
the age said to be 30 fatal to his race.
The Car Michael, the first Romanoff
who ruled in Russia, his reign beginning
in 1913. died at the age Of 49,; Alexis,
his son and successor, ct 48; Feodor, at
25; Ivan, at SO; Peter the Great, at S.;
Catherine l., his widow, and successor,
born of humble parents in Livonia, at
As; Peter H., at Is; Anne, at AZ; Ivan,
at "a; Elizabeth, at So; Peter ILL.,, at "a !;
Catherine H.. at 81: Paul, at AZ; Alex
ander l., at 48; and Nicholas, before lie
was SO. Here, of sixteen Russian SOW
ereigns, from 1913 to 1878, only one,
the present Car, may be said to have
reached the newspaper-fated age of 60.
Catherine of Russia, who lived seven
years longer, was German, without
one drop of Russian blood in her veins.
Seeing that, in over $50 years of a
reigning family, to whom the Goth year
was to prove fatal, only one reached that
age, it IS clear that the popular belief
was altogether wrong.

Ten Millions Behind.

A Washington special dispatch to
this mornings Tribune says table has
been prepared in the Office of the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue,
which shows that the receipts from in
ternal revenue taxes for the present
year will be ten million dollars less than
they were estimated at. The aggregate
receipts for the year up to date are one
hundred and FIVE millions. The amount
estimated for the year was one hundred
and twenty million dollars. Commits
sioner Raum, in speaking on that sub
ject, said yesterday, that letters received
from the various collection districts in
dictate that the decline in the receipts
is not owing to the stagnation of business,
as there are indications Of general
revival of trade; but it is entirely the
result of the agitation in congress over
the reduction of the tax ON whisky and
tobacco, and the extension of the time
for the payment of the tax on bonded
whisky. He says that, during the last
thirty days, there has been absolute
prostration in these branches of industry
and if the bill now pending in the house
should pass without provision for re-
funding the cents tax on manufactured
tobacco which has been paid at the
present rate, it would affect no less than
three hundred and fifty thousand deal
ers, and impose upon them an aggre-
gate loss of more than three million
dollars. 1t is said at the Treasury De-
partment that the proposed reduction of
the tax on tobacco will reduce the re-
ceipts from that source about twelve
million dollars. Exchange,

A Dog Story from Nebraska.
Lincoln (Ncb.) journal.

Lincoln (Ncb.) journal.
One of the most remarkable incidents
going to show the affection of dumb
animals for those who care for them oc-
Cured in this city few days since. Our
readers will remember the drowning
last Sunday of the little six-year-old
boy, Dany. The child had little dog
who was his constant companion and
playmate. When the accident occurred,
which resulted in the drowning of the
boy, the dog was with him, and by his
strange conduct and uneasiness he at
tracted the attention of those present.
While the boy was lying in the bottom
of the stream, the dog would run to the
childs mother and then toward the
place where the boy was supposed to
be, and finally plunged in and swan
around or over the spot where his little
master lay. After the body had been
placed in the coffin, the dog manifested
strong desire TO see the child, and
when the lid of the coffin was raised,
he licked the dead face and seemed to
feel intense grief. In short time the
dog went out to the railroad track and
laid down upon the road, Us it had done
many times before; but upon the ap-
proach of the train, he laid himself
upon the rail and deliberately permitted
the train to pass over is body-being
killed. The whole actions of the dog
were such as to convince one that it
was governed by reasoning powers, and
is another illustration of the remark
able love or attachment that some ami
mails have for their masters. The
mother, at the time Of the drowning,
supposed the child was at home, and,
therefore, neglected to obey the hint
given by the dog that might have saved
the boys life.

WOnian's Love.

A man who had struggled with ma
lignant disease, approached that crisis
in Its stage on which his life seemed to
depend. Sleep, uninterrupted sleep,
might insure his recovery. His anxious
wife, scarcely daring to breathe, was
sitting by his bed; her servants. ex-
hausted by constant watching, had all
left her. 1t was midnight; door had
been left open for air; she heard in the
stiffness of the night window open be-
low stairs, and soon after approaching
footsteps. A moment more man with
his face disguised entered the room.
She instantly saw her husbands danger,
and anticipating the design of the un-
welcome intruder, she pointed to her
husband, and pressing her finger upon
her lips to implore silence, held out to
the robber her purse and her keys. To
her great surprise, he took neither.
Whether he was terrified or charmed
by the courage of her affection, cannot
be known. He left the room, and,
without robbing the house sanctifed by
such strength Of affection, he departed.

disturbed by very bitter quarrel be-

which is the first that has marred the
harmony of the pleasant Cabinet meet
ings, grew out Of dispute between the
two secretaries about a line of battle,
the Secretary of War insisting that it
was chalk mark drawn on the ground
by the generals, which the opposing
parties "toed" when they began fight
ing, while the Secretary of the Navy
said it was manila hawser that tied
the flagship to the despatch boat, to
keep it from running away during a
battle.
