Weak Lungs.

Every one knows that physical eXer-
else invigorates the muscular system;
that the constant action, within limits,
of any muscle enlarges and strengthens
that muscle. 1t is the working of the
same law that gives fullness and vigor
to the blacksmith's arm. This law is
applies to tho lungs. Boo
The one work of the lungs is to in
hale and exhale air; and this depends
on the alternate expansion and contrac-
ton of the chest. Now, some persons
are born with thin, narrow chests. The
lungs of these persons are generally
weak, and easily become diseased, be-
cause seldom brought into full, vigorous
action.
The employments of other people
students, tailors, seamstresses, shoe
makers, etc-arc such as do not call
out the full action of the lungs. In
some cases, they interfere with it. II
such persons are troubled with general
weakness, have difficulty of breathing
after exercise, and dull pains in the
sides, the lungs should be looked after,
although there may still be no organic

breathing through small tube the size
of quill, dozen times every three OF
four hours each day. Every third res
piration he withdrew the tube, when
the lungs were thoroughly filed, and
held his breath as long as he could
without distress. Keeping this up dur.
ing his student-life, he acquired the
ability to enlarge his chest five inche,

I'm new work Paul Du Chaillu de-
scribes a curious scene encountered by
him in Lapland, illustrative of the hab-
Its Of the most generally known of Arc
tic animals. On entering a forest he
suddenly found himself IN the midst of
a great number of reindeer which were
digging through the snow for the moss
of which they are so fond. All except
the younger ones were working Justify,
evidently being very hungry. They
dug first with one forefoot, then with the
other, the holes gradually becoming
more and more hidden. The snow was
about four feet in depth, and some of the
holes had been dug so far that nothing
save their swaying tails could be seen OF
some of the reindeer. In every direc-
tion'these busy creatures were to be seen
toiling with the sole object of reaching
the moss covered by the snow.

"A recent visitor of Natal describes
the life there as exceedingly rough and
full of Inconvenience. The houses built
by the Dutch settlers are destitute alike
of comfort or beauty. The roads are ex-
ecrablo, and the ant-bear holes, con-
cealed by the long grass, makes cross
country riding perilous. Fleas and
white ants abound, and near water mos
quitoes, too. Snakes are apt to intrude
themselves into the house, and a sharp
glance around u bedroom is expedient.

When cows choose to lie down in the
yard or pasture, says an exchange, 1t
will be seen that they choose the bare
ground rather than the sod or bedding
of straw. The same is true of sheep.
We have taken this hint and furnish the
COW stables with dry earth bedding.
Leaves and straw are poor absorbents in
comparison. In the pig pens dry earth
has no equal. In very cold weather we
add straw or leaves, but until the wealth
er is very cold the animals will be more
comfortable with bed of fresh soil or
of soil changed once fortnight or week.
In the chicken house we have learned
its great value MS deodorizer. Our
roosts are over sloping floor, on which
we occasionally scatter dry earth. This
is turned over with a shovel each week
or oftener and we can say the chicken
house is free from any offensive odor,
and the bright comb and glossy feathers
tells of the health of the fowls. Dry
earth is.a good preventive, too, of YER
min on cattle, pigs and poultry. 1t must
be procured Mt u dry time, and stored
under shed or in the stables. 1t not
only promotes neatness and health, but
saves the very element of the manure,
most of which would evaporate if moi
absorbed by the dry earth. We do moi
like ii as bedding in the horse stables
but il should be found in every stable v
sprinkle the floors with as soon as thu
bedding is removed in the morning
When removed from the stables, site
and coops it should be kept under covel

The Postal Gard.

No one denies that the postal card is
great thing, and yet it makes most
people mad to get one. This is be-
cause we naturally feel sensitive about
having our correspondence open TO the
eye Of the postmaster and postal clerk.
Yet they do not read them. Postal en-
ployes hate q postal card as cordially
as any one else. If they were banished,
and had nothing to read but a package
of postalcards or u foreign book OF
statistics, they would read the statis-
tics. This wild hunger for postal
cards on the part OF postmasters is all q
myth. When the writer doesn't care
who sees his message that knocks
the curiosity out of those who handle
those messages. A man who would
read postal card without being COM
PEELED to by some stringent statute
must be little deranRed. When you
receive one you say: Here is a message
of SO little Importance that the writer
didn't care who saw it. / don't care
much for il myself. Then you look it
over ana lay it away and forget it. Do
you think that the postmaster is going
to wear out his young life i'll devouring
literature that the sendee does not feel
proud of when he receives itP Nay, nay.
During our official experience we
have been placed where we could have
read postal cards time and again, and
no one but the All-SeeiDg Eye would
have detect ed, but we have con-
trolled oursef and closed our eyes to
the written message, refusing to take
advantage of the confidence reposed III
us by our Government and those who
thus trusted Us with their secrets. All
over our great land every moment of
the day or night these little cards are
being silently scattered, breathing low
ing words inscribed with hard lead pen
Gil, and shedding information upon sun
dered hearts, they are as safe as though
they had never been breathed.
They are safer in most instances be-
cause they cannot be read 10y anybody
in the whole world.
That is why it irritates us to have
some one open up a conversation by
saying: "You rememcer what that fell
low wrote me from Cheyenne on that
postal card of the twenty fifth, and how
he rounded me up for not sending him
those goods2" Now, we can't keep all
those things i'll our head. 1t requires
too much of strain TO do it en- the
salary we receive. A man with a very
large salary and a tenacious memory
might keep run of the postal correspon-
dence in u small Office, but we cannot

Tiger Staying ExtraOrdlnary,

In the early part of October in Java
took place the announced clearance
among the tigers belonging to His
Highness the Sultan, in order to make
room for fresh supply when the new
tigers PEI will be built At about ID
A. NJ. the Sultan, the Resident Military
Commander, Assistant Resident and
other spectators appeared behind the
Kraton and seated themselves In q
grand stand constructed for the pur-
pose. Thousands of Javanese iocked
TO the spot to see the combsts. Soon
fight between a royal tiger and buf-
falo together In pen was commenced.
The tiger was several times tossed in
to the air and then gored to death by
the buffalo, which had been made as
fnrious as possible by peppered water,
burning nettles and red hot iron bars.
This combat lasted fully two hours. AT
terward began the rampoken or tiger
fight. On the plain alongside the Kra-
ton stood Javanese, armed with stout
spears fifteen 70 eighteen feet long,
drawn up In rows, one behind the other,
altogether an extraordinary large square.

the two hindmost stood erect. In the
centre of this open space were thirteen
straw-roofed, wooden pens, in each OF
which was t;ger. At given signal

Ian begins playing o martial air to
slow measure. The tiger-keepers then
step out of the ranks and approach the
cage. Two of them bear each a buru-
ing torch, with which they set fire to the
straw. The tiger, frightened by the
shower of sparks, is then forced out into
the open space, but knows not whittier
to turn. 1t runs around and seeks
whether it can find an outlet, until IL
endeavors either by q desperate spring

keeps it inclosed or tries to creep
through underneath. But it falls plerc-
ed by the many spears which have
struck it. 1t utters savage cry, which
is drowned by the applause and shouts
of the multitude. In silo1t agony it
strikes around furiously with its mighty
paws. The shafts of the spears often
break like glass. In such cases q single
blow might cost the life of any untor
tunate within reach of Its claws. 1t is
afterward killed in due form. THIS scene
took place In the same way thirteen
times successively with as many tigers,
the festivity closing at 2 P. MI. Only a
few accidents occurred. One soldier by
i'll luck received a spear thrust when
combating with tiger, and was severely
wounded in the leg. A native received
bite when one of the tigers broke
through the square and was killed out
side it, after causing great conmotion
among the spectators.
