Pneumonia.

1t will be remembered that in old age
the lungs are much shriveled, less elias
tic, and can not be fully inflated; the
air-cells are dilated to about twice their
size, many of the capillaries are oblit-
Grated, the breathing is more feeble and
shallow, and the power to get rid of
carbonic 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-over three-fourths (some
say nine-tenths) of the aged dying of it.
The main work of the lungs is done
by the air-cells, the tiny laboratories in
which the smaller branches of the air.
tubes terminate, as the branches of q
tree terminate in the leaves. Now it
is these that are the seat of pneumonia.
In the first stage of the disease they
become-in some one part of the lungs
filled with a sticky fluid, eXuded from
the blood vessels; in the second stage
this fluid becomes solid; in the third ii
changes to pus. If the pus is absorbed
which is seldom the case in the old
the person may recover, but only aft
er months of cOnvalescence. If it re.
suit in gangrene (mortification), the
gangrene may form numerous small abb
scesses through an entire lung.
In the aged the disease seldom COM
mences with well-defined symptoms.
In about one-half the cases there is
simply chill or a pain in the side. In
most of the other cases the main symp-
tom is a feeling of exhaustion. Hthere
is already chronic bronchitis or asthma,
the person may merely feel little tired,
and suddenly die.
Though most persons 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 of 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 can not be too carefully protect
ed from exposure. They should constant
ly wear flannel.
About all that can be done for the
patient is to stimulate him with drinks,
nourish him with concentrated fluid
food, and secure him absolute rest

Horse Evolution.

OF all the domestic species the horse
is the most susceptible to the influence
of surrounding conditions. There is
no such great difference in either cows,
or sheep, or swine, as there is between
different breeds OF horses. 1t is not
difficult to pick out h rises sixteen or
seventeen times rs valuable as other
horses. Mems wants change with time.
Fashions change, and new breeds come
up to satisfy new fashions. The trot-
ting horse is by far the most interesting
example of this kind ofevolution which
is now going on. The American trot-
ting horse is most instructive G, ample
of breed just in process of formation.
Fast trotting has not heretofore been
natural to horses. We are now making
it natural.
For over four thousand years the
horse has been applied to all the
principal purposes we now use it for,
except one, and to meet that one
use the modern trotter is in
process OF evolution. The great
est use of the horse down to within one
hundred years was as an implement Of
war or ceremony; next to this. as 8
beast of burden. For this purpose the
horse must not be too large; he must
have strength, endurance, intelligence.
courage and a variety of gaits. This
last item is of no Importance to us. IL
is disadvantage. 1t was everything
in all previous ages. The horse of an.
tiquity was riding horse. Mohammed
and his followers swept wherever the
Arabian horse and his armed rider
could treai, and no further. When the
Moors went into Spain they went on
their Barb horses. and when they were
driven out after being there four hun.
dred years, that blood made the Spanish
horse what it became. and what part
it played in the wars of Europe is told
in many an old Spanish ballad. Wher
the Spanish horse was at its best,
then the Spanish Nation was at its
height. This horse was then brought
to America and became the progenitor
OF the wild horses of North and
South America. With the use oil
heavy armor in European warfare,
HEAVIER animal was needed,
but he was still the chareer-s
prancing, galloping steed. Imagine
crusader OF old or a knight clad in eel
rafting to the charge on a trotter!
In times of peace the horse figured
in the ce emonies as an index of rank.
AS beast of urden in agriculture he
played a very minor part until within one
hundred years. The social relations Of
the horse have cen an important factor
in the formation of breeds. Numerous
laws on the use of horses have been
made in nearly all countries in the past.
In all ages the use o. the horse has been
an emblem OF social position, in
the Pagan, Mohammedan and Christian
world alike. and is an item even in this
day and land. Many humorous illustra
tons of this were cited. Up till recent.

A Narrow House.

The narrowest house in this city may
be seen at the northwest corner of Lex.
ington avenue and Eighty-second street.
When Lexington avenue was. cut
through some years ago, strip Of land
five feet wide and one hundred feet
deep was all that was left of a certain
lot belonging to person who did moi
own the next lot on the street. The
strip, while of little value by itself,
would be valuable to the person owning
the adjoining lot on Eighty-second
street, because it would not only enable
him to build house five feet wider, but
would give him windows all along the
side of his house on Lexington avenue
agree as to terms, and a house was
erected on the lot adjoining the narrow
strip. The owner of the latter had
nothing to do but abandon his lot, OF
build house five feet wide upon it
The latter course was perhaps adopted
because such house would shut up all
the side windows of the neighborins
building and considerably reduce it,
value.
The new building, which has beer
finished for some months, is therefore
five feet wide, one hundred feet deep,
and four stories high. 1t is divided in.
to two houses, each fifty feet long, and
the entrance doors are, of course, or
the avenue, as there is no room for 8

law allows building at the corner of 8
street to have projecting bay window.
along the sidewalk, and taking advant.
age of this circumstance, the architect
has managed to plan house which.
while peculiar in inside appearance, and
probably very uncomfortable to live in,
may find tenants. Without these bay.
windows or square projections running
from the foundations to the roof it would
not have been possible to build house al
all, for no room would have been wider
than three feet. Each house has, there
fore, two bay windows, in one of which are
the stairs and in the other one room
about eight feet wide and about fifteen
feet long, upon each floor. The long
passage between the stair-well and the
room is about three feet wide. Each
house contains a kitchen eight by fifteen
feet and four rooms, each of the same
size, but on different floors. There are
also ingeniously placed closets at each
end of the building and under the
stairs. Both houses are unoccupied.
One is offered for rent at five hundred
a year.
If the object of the builder of these
extraordinary houses was simply to shut
out the light from his neighbours build

Fifth avenue to overlook his premises,
and so he built an iron scaffolding in

arrangement has been for years the
source of no little comment from the
neighbors and passers-by.-M Y. Econ

Meath its white-gloved and jeweled load:
And wishes me some dreadful harm
Hearing the merry corks explode.

OF hunting still the same old coon;
And envy him, outside the door,
In golden Quiets of the moon.

As the bright smile he sees me win,
Nor the hosts oldest wine SO old

A Church's Long Jaunt.

The Cavalry Monumental Episcopal
Church, which stands on Forty-frst
street, above Oregon, and which has
been completed, while having every ap-
pearance of being an entirely new
brown-stone structure, is in fact exact
ly the same building which, less than q
year ago, was standing on Front street,
above Callowhill. The removal of the
church from its old position to new
one, nearly four miles distant, is q re-
markable instance of the skill of the
modern builder, and the case in ques-
ton is said to be novel one in every
way, and without any known precedent
in this country, if in the world. About
a year ago, the congregation of the
church having run down considerably,
Rev. Mr.. Hutchinson, its pastor, who
resides in West Philadelphia, decided
to try and move the church across the
river, and after considerable trouble
gained the consent of the trustees and
of the Bishop, the former, however, re-
fusing to let the church be demolished
unless the material in it was used to
construct the new edifice. The work
was commenced in May, 1882, and was
steadily pushed during the summer and
fall, each stone being marked with q
figure in either red, white, blue or vel
low paint, 50 that its position in the old
building could be told at a glance. Ev-
cry stone, with the exception of . few
in the foundation, was transferred to
the new site, and also all the timber,
slate, woodwork, windows, pews, fur
niture, gas-fixtures, heating-apparatus,
carpets, and, in short, everything stands
in the new church, If it can be sO-called.
just exactly as it stood on Front street,
the building, even, facing the exact
point of the compass which it did be-
fore. To accomplish this remarkable
job nearly 1,50O cart-loads of materials
were hauled over the long route which
separates the old and new localities,
the total cost of transferring and re-
building being about $4,000 against
$28, 600, which the church originally
cost when first constructed some thirty
six years ago. The church is Gothic in
form, and has seating capacity for
about $50 persons. From the outside
it looks entirely new, the stone having
been thoroughly cleansed with some
powerful acid before being reset, and
no one not cognizant with the facts
would ever suspect that the building
had travelled piece-meal from point
nearly four miles distant.-Phstade!phtd

Mabel Cuihbert's course in life was

Deterioration of Skilled Labor.

Deterioration of Skilled Labor.
What causes strikes? INSULT
cient pay and excessive hours. Why
is psy reduced and hours added?
Because skill is not up to the stand
ard, is therefore worth less and it
requires more time to do a days
work. Why il there less skill in
labor? Because none of the trades
require apprenticeship and the
country is flooded with half-fedged
mechanics who run wages down be-
cause they are incompetent. Who
is responsible? The trades and I'M
ions. For their own protection
they should demand that no man or
boy should be allowed to occupy
master positions until they have
been trained through a regular APP
premiership and fitted for IT, Law
vers must have n license, doctors
their diplomas, and all the profess
sions require qualification. AS long
as boss mechanics uncomplainingly
work side by side with a novice
they must expect to suffer for the
damage he does his employer in be-
ing unable to work well. No man
who has served his time and fitted
himself for his work should submit
to the employment of fedglings.
This loose system is the curse of
this country and the remedy can be
applied by the mechanics them
selves. No man of sense can dis
pute these propositions.
