Outdoor Air and Exercise.

The surest of all natural prophylactics
is active exercise in the open air. Air
is part of our daily food and by far
the most important part. A man can
live on seven meals q week, and survive
the warmest summer day with
seven draughts of fresh water, but his
supply of gaseous nourishment has to
be renewed at least fourteen thousand
times in the twenty-four hours. Every
breath we draw is draught of fresh
oxygen, every emission of breath is
an evacuation of gaseous recrements.
The purity of Our blood depends chiefly
on the purity of the air we breathe, for
in the laboratory of the lungs the
atmospheric air is brought into contact
at respiration with the fluids of the
venous and arterial system, which
absorb it and circulate it through the
whole body; in other words, if a man
breathes the vitiated atmosphere of
factory all day and of close bedroom all
night, his life-blood is tainted four
teen thousand times in the course
of the twenty-four hours with
foul vapors, dust and noxious ex-
halations. We need not wonder,
then, that ill-ventilated dwellings, ag-
gravate the evils of 50 many diseases,
nor that pure air should be almost .
panacea. ~ ;g3a.sgs
:, Outdoor life is both remedy and
preventive of all known disorders OF
respiratory organs; consumption, in all
but the last stage of the deliquiun', can
be conquered by transferring the bat
tle-ground from the sick-room to the
wilderness of the next mountain-range.
Asthma, catarrh and tubercular phthisis
are unknown among the nomads OF the
intertropical deserts, as well as among
the homeless hunters of our North
western Territories. Hunters and
herders, who breathe the pure air OF
the South American pampas, subsist
for years on diet that would endanger
the life Of q city dweller in single month.
It has been repeatedly observed that
individuals who attained to an extreme
old age were generally poor peasants
whose avocations required daily labor.
in the open air, though their habits
differed in almost every other respect;
also, that the average duration OF life
in various countries of the Old World
depends not so much on climatic
peculiarities or their respective degree
Of culture as ON the chief occupation
of the inhabitants; the starved Hindoo
outlives the well-fed Parsse Merchant,
the unkempt Bulgarian enjoys an
average longevity Of forty-two years to
the west Austrian citizens thifty-five.

Chiesgo, Feb. 12.-J. ii. Haverly
being interviewed respecting his inten-
tions with regard to taking a theater
in San Francisco, said be hardly thought
it likely that he would take any lease
in that city, as it was too far from his
other properties. He will, however,
remain in Chicago, and his friends
have agreed TO build him house.
Should he eventually take the California
theater, which has been offered him
very low, he would like also Tabor's
new opera house, Denver, and make
his circuit complete. His Chicago
house will seat over 5000 comfortably,
with ample halls, lobbies, dressing
rooms, etc., and will be, if not the best,
one of the best in the country.

Toledo, Feb. 12.-At IL O'Clock to-
night the ice in front of the city broke
up with crash, and the water rapidly
rose, covering the docks and flooding
Water street and the warehouses and
Offices along the river front. A fleet of
six vessels, grain laden, lying in winter
quarters at the Wabash elevator, were
torn from their anchorage and swept
down the stream, carrying with them
the west span of the Cherry street
bridge and the foot bridge connecting
with east Toledo.
The excitement in the city this morn
ing consequent upon the flood is in
tense. The sky is overcast by dull
leaden colored clouds, and to add to the
discomforts of the situation, a snow
storm came up about nine O'Clock. The
streets have been crowed with people
since daybreak, and those leading to
the river are crowed to the waters edge.
In Water street the water is fully five
feet deep and rushing through at a fear
ful rate. The western span of the Union
bridge was swept down at high rate
of speed. At nine O'Clock another
gorge was formed from one to two feet
deep. The water on Summit street
filled tho Easements of wholesale houses
and ruined the stocks. Several schoon-
ers are fast in the gorge. The losses
aggregate 100000. A large amount of
rolling freight and molasses has been
swept away. The Lake Shore trains
are very late; the tracks are covered
with water and debris and no trains
will be sent out until the water receGes.
The cars, tracks and property of the
company are greatly damaged. The
offices of the company are three feet
under water.

the ground floor of the Washington
market and Ford's opera house. The
Virginia side of the long bridge is re-
ported as giving away but it is inac-
cessible owing TO the great depth of the
water.
Pennsylvania avenue from First to
Seventh and from Eighth to Tenth
streets is sheet of water. All the eel
lars and many first floors are sub
merged.
The census office documents were
barely saved. Great damages are re-
ported at the Georgetown wharyes.
AT an early hour the Washington
market had few inches of water in it
and it rose rapidly and soon the flood
was knee high. Many dealers hastily
left but those having heavy commodi-
ties for some time stood their ground,
anticipating that it would not be long
before the water would recede.
The butchers and many other market
dealers later in the morning extern
porized street stands on the other
side of the avenue in front of the stands
erected for the Inauguration and there
vented their wares. The ice began to
gorge across the channel at Giresboro
about 0 this morning and at ten it had
to all appearance become a solid gorge
across to the Virginia shores blocking
up the river entirely to the long bridge
and above it to Georgetown. This had
the effect of raising the water to an un-
precedented height. Most of the
wharves on the river front are rising
up. and floating. The water at the
Inland and Seaboard company's wharf,
near the arsenal grounds, rose five feet
above the highest tide, surrounding the
depot and warehouse, and had it not
been for the immense weight of the
flour and other heavy freight stored the
whole wharf would have been lifted up.
Later-1:30 p. m.-The entire long
bridge is under water and the rushing
ice and water is carrying away the rail
ings. There is no immediate danger
to the piers, however.
Mauch Chunk, Feb. 12.-It is feared
that the floods will carry off the IL, ,O00,-
900 feet of lumber at White Haven and
destroy the Lehigh Valley company's
bridge at Penn Haven.

New Orleans, Feb. 12.--In the third
district and that portion of the city be-
low the old basin, an average fall of ten
inches is reported. Between the canals
there is fall of three inches, while in
the upper portion Of the city, south of
the new canal, there is still a greater
fall reported: Sluices have been cut in
the canal as protection to levees in the
rear of the city, which allow the water to
run out freely. Five engines have been
put to work to assist the draining ma
chimes.
Milford, Pa, Feb. 1.-THE rain storm
has stopped. The Delaware river is
still rising. The gorge at Cormess-
bough broke this morning; field of ice
fifteen miles in length is moving and is
so solidly wedged that it supports logs
and other heavy bodies. Many valua-
BILE RATS, much loose lumber and con-
siderable hay have been destroyed.
Poughkeepsie, Feb. 12.-Thousands
of tons of ice are packed inside of the
railroad bridge at Livingston and Lock-
port, and men and wrecking trains have
been there all night. The ice is two and
half feet thick and is piled up ten
feet high for quarter of mile on the
Lockport turnpike. at Albany the
merchants have been all day hosting
goods to the upper floors. Teams have
ceased to cross the river on the ice.
The Hoboken meadows are flooded
and 500 families are shelterless. The
excitement is intense, and floods are re-
ported in all directions, with great
damage and considerable danger.
