Pneumonia.

1t will be remembered that in old age
the lungs are much shrivelled, less elastic,
and cannot be fully inflated; the air-cella
are dilated to about twice their size,
many of the capillaries are obliterated,
the breathing is more feeble and shallow,
and the power to get rid of cafbonic acid
Is greatly diminished.
Hence pneumonia inflammation OF
the lungs is not only one of the most
common diseases of old age, but the
most fatal--oyef three-fourths (soIhe say
nine-tenths) of the aged dying of it.
The main work of the lungs is done
by the air-ce.ls, the, tiny laboratories in
which the smaller branches of the air
tubes terminate, as the branches of a
tree terminate in the leaves. Now it
is these that are the seat of pneumonia.
In the first stage of the disease they
become-ln some one part of the lungs
filled with sticky fluid, exuded from
the blood vessels; in the second stage
this fluid becomes solid in the third it
changes to pus. If the pus is absorbed,
which is seldom the case in the
old the person may recover, but only
after months of convaleseenGe. If it re-
suit in gangrene mortification). the gan
creme may form numerous small absces-
SEES thro Ugh the entire lung.
In the aged the disease seldom COM
mences with we'll defined symptoms.
In about one half the cases there is sim
ply chill, or a pain in the side. In
most of the other cases the main symp-
tom is feeling of exhaustion. If there
is already chronic bronchitis or asthma,
the person may merely feel little tired,
and suddenly die.
Though most patients cough, there is
for time no expectoration. When it
appears, it is at first scanty, gray and
frothy; then yellow, and at length red
dish and sticky. Patients seldom COM
plain of pain or difficulty in breathing.
The more common exciting cause is
cold, especially dry, sharp cold. Nine
tenths Of all cases occur between No
vember and May. During this period
the aged cannot be too carefully pro-
tected from exposure. They should
constantly wear flannel.
About AL that can be done for the pa
tient is to stimulate him with drinks,
nourish him with concentrated fluid
food, and secure him absolute rest

Planting Black WaInuts.

ticutural Society direc ions for planting
black walnuts, of which the following lie
the substance: Avoid transplanting the
trees if practicable, by planting the nuts
where the trees are to remain. The
rows should be four feet apart each way.
At this near distance the trees will grow
up without lateral branches (Which are
apt to be torn of. by snow or wind, and
they tfiav bs thinned as their growth re-
duires. The nuts should be stink about
two inches iii the ground. The rows
should be perfectly straight, set with
line, and marked from place to place
with stakes, SO as to show accurately the
young plants the first year in ciiltiVatiiig.
The ground must be thoroughly prepared
beforehand, and the richer the more
rapid the growth. Always SOW In the
fall if practicable. II the nuts ars left

WATCH YOUR WORDS.

Keep watch on your words, my darling
For words are wonder III things.
They are sweet, like the bees sweet honey
} ;, Like the bees they have terrible stings;
They can bless like the warm glad sunshine:
And brighten lonely life;
They can cut in the strife of anger,
Like an open, two.eaged knife.
Let them pass through your lips unchal
llenged, .,
If their GRAND is tue and kind,
If they come to support the weary,
To comfort and help the blind;
If bitter revenseful spirit
Prompt the words, let them be unsaid;
They may flash through brain like light
ming,
Or fall on heart like lead.
Keep them back, if they're cold and cruel,
Under bar and lock and seal;
The wounds they make nay darling,
Are always slow to heal.
May peace guard your lips. and ever,
From the time of your early youth
May the words that you daily utter
BE the words of beautiful truth.

washingten'sstateIy Etiquette.

Modern journalists often eriticise pres
idents and governors for not living in the
style which republican simplicity" de-
msnds. What would these gentlemen
have said If they have lived during the
administration of President Washington,
whose stately etiquette is thus de-
scribed by the London Quarterly Re-
view?
President Washington never went to
congress on public business except in
stage-coach, drawn by Elk eream-colored
horses. The coach was an object which
would excite the admiration OF the
throng even now IN the streets OF Lon
don.
It was built in the shape of hemis-
phere, and its panels were adorned with
cupids, surrounded with flowers of Flor
ida, and of fruit not to be equalied ont Of
California. The eoachman and positions
were arrayed in gorgeous hveries of white
and scarlet.
The Philadelphia Gazette, govern
ment organ, regularly gave supply OF
court-news for the editication OF the cit
liens.
From that the people were allowed to
learn as much as it was deemed proper
for them to know about the presidents
movements, and fair amount OF space
was also devoted to Mrs. Washington
who was not referred to as Mrs. WASH
ington, but as "the an:able consort OF
our beloved president"
When the president made his appear
ance at ball or public reception, dais
was erected for him upon which he
ark no or
throng, and the guests or visitors bowed
to him in solemn silence.
Republican simplicity has only
come In later times. In our dav the
hack-driver who takes visitor to apub-
lie reception at the White House is
Quite free to get off his box, walk in
side by side with his fare, and shake
hands with the President with as much
familiarity as anybody else.
Very few persons presumed to shake
hands with General Washington. One
of his friends, Governor Morris, rashly
undertook, for foolish wager, to go up
to him and slap him on the shoulder,
saying, MY dear General, l am happy
to see YOU look so we'll"
The moment fixed upon arrived, and
Mr.. Morris, already half repenting of
his wager, went up to the president,
placed his hand upon his shoulder, and
uttered the prescribed words.
Washington" as an eyewitness de-
scribed the scene, withdrew his hand,
stepped suddenly back, fixed his eye Oh
Morris for several minutes with an an
cry frown, until the latter retreated
abashed, and sought refuge in the
crowd"
No one else tried a similar expert
ment.
No royal levees were more panctili-
ously arranged than those of the first
president.

Improved Breeds orDucks.

Up to the appearance of the Pekins,
the two most prominent breeds in the
hands of American fanciers were the
Rouen and Aylesbury ducks. Few farm
ers knew anything about these large
aquatic fowls. They seemed satisfied
with the old-fashioned common ducks,
and faithfully followed in the same ruts
and adhered to the same antiquated ideas
of their hoary ancestors. But the spirit
of progress and improvement kept prod
ding them onward, and set them to
thinking and wondering if these large
breeds could be as easily raised as the
puddle ducks.
For utilit I, and this. means profits as
well as usefulness :.and pleasure nova
days, the nproved breeds of fowls are
vastly superior to the common or mon
grel kinds. Large bodies move slowly,
and the larger framed ducks are content
with much less water and range, will
keep quiet within short distance Of the

How He Found 1t.

One of those contradictions to the as.
sertation that the child is father of the
man is affirmed of Daniel Webster. After
he entered professional life, he became
a great orator; but while at school, he
could with difficulty be prevailed upon
to take part i'll the defamation
which, once week enlivened the old
fashioned school-house. A gentleman,
who tells the following amusing story of
how he found Caesars parchment, says
that if he had known of Webster's ex-
ample, he would have initiated it, and
been much happier boy than he once
was.
How we'll I remembered 1.-THE first
time acclaimed before my class. The
piece selected was Anthony's eulogy of
Caesar. At last, the dreaded hour arrived;
sick at heart, took my trembling stand
upon the platform; the room swan be-
fore my eyes, the heads of the scholars
bnbbed distractedly about, my mind was
a blank.
A twitter ran through the room; some
one began to speak-it must have been
l, but did not not know it; gradually
my identity with the speaker became
fortunately as I arrived at the words:
"But here's parchment, with the seal OF
Cesar;
found it in his closet
some slight interruption drove the whole
speech from my head; there l stood in
helpless, staring dismay. I repeated

In vain. Once more l shouted, in
tones that ended in a sob,-
II found il in h-his c-c-closet!"
Here the teacher interposed, "Well,
sir. if you didn't find the rest of it, you
better carry it back to the closet and
leave it there"
There was roar from the school; 1
rushed in tears to my desk. Thus ended
my first oratorical experience.
