The Habit OF Mouth Breathing.

Ii is certainly remarkable that so
little has been written on subject so
important as mouth breathing. II APP
pears, indeed, that DR.. Cassells, of
Glasgow. communicated. four years
ago, an interesting paper on this topic
10 the Edinburgh Hedtcdi Journal. but
the scope OF that essay was confined to
the consideration of the habit as
cause Of aural troubles. Ii has been dis
cussed. also. from general sanitary
point of view by Mr.. George Ca,lin,
well known as the portrayer of Indian
life and customs. But wenow havo for
the first time an exhaustive treatment
of the subject by DR. Clinton Wagner
DIR. Wagner begins by pointing out
that man is by nature a nose breather.
the practice of mouth breathing being
acquired through carelessness, ignor-
ance or a local trouble which renders
nasal breathing difficult or impossible
The unweaned infant always breathes
through its nose; unless il did the act
of sucking could not be performed.
From observations made by Honsell in
the Freiburg clinic, i. appears that in
healthy infants the mouth is almost al
ways closed during sleep. the tongue
lying in contact with the hard palate. and
the mouth not acting rs an air passage.
The relation which the nose bears to
the functions of respiration is too often
overlooked by persons suffering from
bronchial or pulmonary disorders. Ii
can easily be verified by experiment
that the air in its passage through the
tortuous channels of the nose is raised
10 the temperature Of the body before
il reaches the larynN. No matter how
low the temperature may be. the sense
of cold is never experienced below the
border of the soft palate so long rs
breathing is carried on with closed
mouth. Moreover, the air thus inhaled
Is moistened by the natural secretions
which cover the furbinated homes in a
condition of health. and the short.
bristly hairs al the oriiices of the
noStrils act as a filter or sieve to arrest
dust and other impurities which the air
may contain, and which il drawn in by
the mouth, may act As an exciting
cause in developing laryngeal. bronchial,
or pulmonary trouble. II is even as
serted that man can inhaie through his
nose for certain time mephitic air in
the bottom of a well without harm;
whereas if he opened his mouth 20
answer a question or call for help. his
lungs are closed. and he expires.
The causes which lead Ia habitual
month breathing are TO be looked for in
the nose, mouth or throat. Until re-
Gently the methods of examining the
nose were so imperfect that correct
diagnosis was, in many eases, imprac-
ticable; bat now. with the aid of The

light thrown mp through the
nostrils, dilated by a proper spectrum,

To Stop Nose Bleed. The scie,l

10 Stop Nose Bleed The Scie,i-
t.hc -Alae'ieal gives the following novel
plan: The best remedy for bleeding at
the nose, as given by DR.. Gleason in
one of his lectures. is in the vigorous
motion of the jaws as if in the act of
chewing. In the case of a child waG
o. paper should be placed in its mouth,
and the child should be instructed to
chew it hard. 1t is the motion of the
jaws that stops the flow of blood. The
remedy is so very simple that many will
feel inclined TO laugh at it. but it never
has been known TO fail in single in
stance, even in very severe cases.

voyage around the world for the ptar-

population Of the islands is steadily de-
creasing in numbers. The half4castes

puts the total at about 56. 600, of which

SLUMBER SONG.

In the winged cradle of sleep lay
~ NJ darling gently down;
rissed and closed are his eyes of gray.
Under his curis' bright crown.
Where, oh where, win be fly and float,
IN the winged cradle of sleep?
when will he meet in the worlds remote.
While he slumbers soft and deep?
Warm and sweet as white blush-rose,
His small hand lies in mine,
pu, can not follow him where he goes,
And he gives no word nor sign.
Keen him safe. ye Heavenly powers,
In dream land vast and dim!
Let no Ill. through the nights long hours,
Come nigh to trouble him.
Give him back, when the dawn shall break.
With his matchless baby charms,
with bis love and his beauty all awake,
Into my happy arms!

from Armstrong; fiat just above. A
Jew days after that time the skill was

had purchase it from party who had
found the same in Wheeling Greek.

Noble went 10 look at it. On the lar.
board side there was big dent or cnt,
as il q heavy body had fallen on it, and
there was no mark on the inside to in.
dictate that safe had been carried away.
Noble got the idea into his head that the
safe had fallen from the hands OF the
burglars into the river, and anxiously
awaited the falling OF the water. Yes
terday morning the river had fallen to
about the sans stage il was when the
robbery was committed, and he spent
the morning in graphing for it. About
10 o'clock he struck ii about half way

placed back in its old position.
Johnny Crockard, who has the keys,
is at present in Pittsburgh, so that it is
not known in what condition the con-
tents are. The exterior is covered with
mud. Dorsey is very happy over his
luck in finding the safe. There were
