The Pocket BlOw.Pipe.

Stand erect, with chin turned little
up. Draw through the nose all the air
you can, till your chest is brimful. Now
place in the mouth piece of clay pipe
an inch long, and blow through it as
long and hard as you can. as if you
were trying to blow out fame.
Well, what does this do? Try few
whiffs, and see. II not used to it, at
first it may make you feel dull, perhaps
dizzy. But this soon wears off, and
you find that few minutes of this
lung filing now and then through the
day is working wonders. The chest
seems to be actually growing larger
and 1t really is, for you are stretching
out every corner of it, But the heart
and stomach-indeed,, above all the
vital organs-feel the new pressure, and
better digestion, brisker circulation,
and warmer and very comfortable
feeling over the whole body are among
the results. NJ, an oil-broker In
New York. says that at thirty-six he
had weak voice, stood slouched over
and inerect, was troubled with catarrh,
and knew too we'll what it was to have
the stomach and bowels work imper
fectly. Most people can not initiate the
chest SO as to increase its girth over
two inches. BY steady practice at his
little pipe, he In about year got 80
that he could initiate five whole inches.
But now his chest is noticeably round
and full and he is as straight man as
any in dozen. His weak voice has
gone /; indeed, he says he has the
strongest voice OF any in a choir
in which he now sings. The catarrh
has left, while his stomac Ii is
simply doing nobly. The fuller veins
in his hands and the swifter reaction
when he breathes tell that his circula-
ton is also stronger and quicker than
formerly, while he has a general health
AM, buoyancy to which he had long
been stranger. These are surely
wonderful changes in a man of his age,
and in that brief time, and each change
is plainly for the better. Not ouly dc
his friends remark it, but he delights
in telling all who vii. listen. A lady
friend, following his example, found
her angular shoulders and Indifferent
chest fast improving in a way most
gratifying. A friend, at our sugges-
tlOu-Ouo Vi Iu6 lAStcSG uall-mllo run
ners in America. by the way-tried the
pipe. In five weeks Of faithful practice
he so enlarged his chest that when his
lungs were full he could scarcely button
his vest. He says that in severe run
ming he finds his throat and bronchial
tubes do not tire as easily as before,
but are tough and equal to their work,
and SO help him to more sustained
effort.
Though all the results of this deep
breathing are not known, it can hardly
fail to bring great good to mapy of us
indoor people, who most of the day
never half fill our lungs, and at all events
it is very easy to try. An ivory-worker
will for dime turn you pipe of bone
or ivory an inch long, three-eighths
thick, and with hole through it q
sixteenth of an inch in diameter, with
the sides futed so that your teeth may
hold it, and prevent you from swallow.

in the pocket. Try it, William Blake.

A Horse Killed by Tea.

A curious case of poisoning is related
by the Veterinary Journal, London, in
teresting in itself, and which is proper
ly characterized as unparalleled iu the
annals of veterinary or human toxicolo-
gy. The record is as follows: A staff
cook having left some pounds of tea in
sacks Kafflr groom filled it with corn,
and serving out the contents to troop
OF horses, gave one charger the bulk
OF the tea, which was eaten greedily,
and produced the most startling results.
The animal plunged and kicked, and
ran backwards, at intervals galloping
madly around, finally falling into
donga. where it lay dashing its head
ON the rocks, when it was killed. The
post norton appearances indicated ex.
treme cerebral congestion. The
occurrence, as an accident, is prob
ably unique. The reversal OF limb
movements, which produces running
backwards in quadrupeds, is common
system Of brain disturbance, frequently
witnessed, for example, in the case of
puppies with occluded crania. The
case (says our contemporary is one of
great interest, and may help to throw
light on the action OF tea, which has not
been sufficiently studied or appreciated
by Psychologists.

being carefully dressed at home and
sent off to the House. His appearance
created great sensation, and he main
tanned the disguise for nearly a week.
Then he gladly got rid of the new
clothes, and returned to the familiar
garments, which date back "a.many
years ago."

EXPENSIVE EcoNoMY.-A good story
is told of the way in which Lever. the
novelist, endeavored to put into practice
Thackeray's advice to him in favor of
thrift. That counsel was to begin with
small economies, and to stop some tri-
ding expense that lie could very we'll
do without, when he would find the
taste for saving grow on him, and grad
ually include many things once thought
necessary. Accordingly, Lever deter
mined to save the daily franc he gave a
poor man for holding his pony at the
door of pistol-gallery where he was
accustomed to practicable thought of
stopping the practice itself never seems
to have struck him. He tied the bride
to the hook of the window-shutters and
went in. His first shot hit the center,
and set signalbell ringing loudly,
which so frightened the pony that he
broke away, carrying the window-frame
with him" The repairs, wrote Lever,
amounting to elghty-seven francs,
and more ridicule than am able to set
down. This was my first and last at
tempt at economy"

The Young Fireman.

Johnnie Hobart was an obediept bow.
who tried in every way to lessen HIS
mothers labors. AMI help his father
support the family. One day the father.
locomotive engineer, was killed, and
want entered the cottage door. John
ME did not know what to do. He sat
down behind large now.plow at the
station. and burst into tears. For some
time he sat there alone. when a hearty
voice sounded in his ears, "Why.
johnnie, my boy, it is always darkest
lust before days there is light ahead. !"
The truthful gray eyes turned to the
speaker, who was tried friend of his
father, and an employee on the same
road.
You are just the lad was looking
for, he continued. zone of our train
hands has been dismissed as unworthy.
and we want Johnnie Hobart to fill the
vacancy"
Most gratefully he accepted the offer,
and faithfully performed every duty,
winning thereby the confidence of all.
This happened many years ago, and
it we should meet Johnnie now, we
should find him in position of great
usefulness and trust. Step by step
our young fireman advanced until he
reached the office Of Superintendent,
honored by all who knew him.
The little cottage has been exchanged
for a desirable home OF his own, and
he is thus enabled, by the means hon
estly gained, to provide those so dear to
him with many luxuries and comforts.
