Prevention of Pneumonia.

Oxygen is the agent by which food is
fitted to repair the waste of the system,
and is equally the agent whereby the
effete matter is fitted to be removed by
the lungs and kidneys. This agent, so
doubly essential to life and health, is
taken up by the lungs from the in
breathed air. The amount necessary
is about equal to the amount of food.
In pneumonia, at it's second stage,
there is an oxidation into some portion
of the lungs. This speedily solidifies
and completely fills up the air cells.
So rapidly may this take place, than
two pounds of such solid matter May
be deposited in twelve hours, or less.
Hence the reason why pneumonia is
sometimes 80 quickly fatal. In case of
recovery, this matter softens, is alb
sorbed into the circulation, and elm
mated by the proper organs, leaving
the lungs unframed.
II the WORKOUT material of the sys-
tenn is more than the inhaled oxygen
can prepare for removal, it accumu-
lates, giving rise to various ailments,
and is often deposited in the lungs
when irritated by cold; but no cold
can cause pneumonia unless there is
undue amount of effete matter in the
blood.
The old ore predisposed to it from
the changes which age effects in
the lungs and chest walls; and so are
the very young, from the undeveloped
condition of their breathing powers
but the ease loving, high-living, middle
aged gentlemen are liable to it from
their habits of life; and so are the sed.
entary, from very different habits, but
which equally keep the inbreathed OK.

A few minutes spent daily in exercise
adapted to exr and the chest would per.
manently enlarge it's capacity, and ena

increase of air-an increase, say, from
twenty to sixty cutie feet a day.

Campaign Whisky.

There is a story told of the ante-bel-
lum days, which may as we'll be locat-
ed in Alabama as anywhere, illustrat-
ing the shifty ingenuity of some des-
perate politicians.

to losing my election as Senator ?" said
the Squire.

"Well, it was altogether owing to
Waterem's not having sufficient sup
ply of liquor on hand. You see, the
main strength of our party lies in the
upper end of the county-'specially
among the inhabitants of the swamp,
as it is called. SO, you see, about two

You've outraged the feelings of the Writ

full of expedients. He proposed to

right point and send it on. We did so,
but on trial decided it was too weak for
other spirits; handed him gallon OF

Vernet and the Princess.

An amusing incident occurred in the
career of Horace Vernet. The Prin-
cess X, about q couple OF months after
her marriage, induced Vernet to under
take to paint her portrait, which her
husband ardently desired. Vcrnet set
to work, and every morning the Prince
Y. used to come to the studio, and, as
he was very much in love with his wife,
he never found the portrait fattering
enough. One day Vernet had not made
his eyes bright enough, another day the
lips were little pale, another day the
smile had not all the grace and charm
of the Princess smile. Vernet, with
the greatest patience, took note of oil
the Princes observations, asked for
time, and proceeded to idealize the por-
trait rs the Prince had suggested, put
ting carmine on the lips, charm in the
smile, gold in the hair, and vivacity in
the eye. A fortnight or so later the
Irince came. This time. thought Yer
net, he will be satisfied. Alas, in a
grumbling tone, the Prince exclaimed /:
"T a. is not my wife's portrait. 1t is
charming, charming. mon cher maitre,

my wife. She never had such distinc-
ton. such beauty. My wife is CO.

his evenings discovering that. in the

Unconscious Bias In Walking.

Mr.. q. Fl. Darwin, in Nature, states
that some ten years ago he made few
experiments upon the subject of "Un.
conscious Bias in Walking" He be-
gan by walking himself and getting
various friends to walk, with eyes shut.
in q grass field. All walked with
amazing crookedness IN paths which
were not far removed from circles.
Two Of the circles described were not
more than fifty yards in diameter, al
though the pedestrians thought they
were going straight. All diverged to
the right excepting one, who was
strongly left-handed. II then got
eight village schoolboys from 10 to IL
years of age" said Mr.. Darwin, "and
offered shilling to the boy who should
walk the straightest blindfold. Before
the contest, however, 1 busted some
sawdust on the ground, and, after max
ing each of the boys walk over it,
measured their strides from right to
left and left to right. They were also
made to hop, and the foot on which
they hoped was noted; they were then
made to jump over a stick, and the foot
from which they sprang was entered /;
lastly, they were instructed to throw q
stone, and the hand with which they
threw was noted. Each of these tests
was applied twice over. 1 think they
were all right-handed in throwing a
stone, but believe that two of them
exhibited some mark of BEING partly
left-handed. The six who were totally
right-handed strobe longer from left to
right than from right to left, hoped
on the left leg, and rose in jumping
from that leg. One boy pursued the
opposite course, and the last walked
irregulsrly, but with no average differ
ence between his strides. When /
took them into the field 1 made the
boys successfully take good look at a
stick at about forty yards distance, and
then blindfolded them and started
them to walk, guiding them straight
for the first three or four PAGES. The
result was that the left-legged boys all
diverged to the right, the right-legged
boys diverged to the left, and the one
who would not reveal himself won the
prize. The trial was repeated q second
time with closely similar results, al
though the prize winner did not walk
nearly so straight on second trial.
also measured the stride of myself and
of some of my friends, and found the
same connection between diversion and
comparative length of stride. My own
step from left to right is about a quar-
ter of an inch longer than from right to
left, and am strongly right-handed. p"
Mr.. Darwin believes that nine ont of
ten strongly right-handed persons are
left-legged, the reason being that every
active effort with the right hand is al
most necessarily accompanied by an
effort with the left leg, and right
handed man is almost compelled to use
his left leg more than the other.

THE TICHBORNE CASE.

AS heretofore stated, the Tchborne claim
ant is to be released from prison on ticket
of leave. The following facts of the case may
be of interest:
Roger Charles Tichborne, child born
January 5, 1929, of an ancient English Cath
olc family, was after his father, heir TO the
title and estates Of his uncle, Sir Edward
Doughty He is known to have arrived at
Valparaiso on June 10, 1868, and having
crossed the Continent eastward April 20
1851, he sailed from Rio for New York on
the Bella. which was lost at sea. His father
succeeded to the baronetcy March 5, 1865,
and died June II, 1862. 1t then passed to
the second son, Alfred (Roger being pre-
sumed to be lost, who died February %,
1866, and was succeeded by his posthumous
son, Sir Henry Tichborne, born May 2S in
that.year. In 1865 Sir James widow, hoping
Roger might yet be alive, had advertised for
him in the English and Australian papers.
In 1866 her advertisement was answered by
one Thomas Castro, a butcher at Wagga
Wagga, Australia, who pretended to be her
son, who asserted that he had been saved
from the wreck of the Bella. After some
correspondence with Lady Tichborne, Cas-
tro sailed for England, where he arrived
December 25, 1866.
Ia January, 1867, he joined her at Paris and
was by her accepted her sou, though most of the
other members of the family rcpudated him. In
March he filed a bill against the trustees of the
estate and, having been occupied in tho interim i'll
obtaining witnesses and testimony, brought the
action for the recovery of the estates, valued at
$4,000 year, to trial May II, 1868. Lady
Tichbornc had died March u, 1871, still bclicv-
ing Castro to be her son. Tho trial lasted at one
session 103 days, and. with adjournments-till
March 6, 1872, when the jurors declared them
selves convinced that the claimant was not Sir
Roger and he was nonsuited. The principal
points against him werc his ignorance of French,
which language the true Sir Roger spoke admira-
bly, and of incidents happening during his So
iourns in Franco; the dissimilarity of the hand

REMEMBER MOTHER.

Boys, some of you who read this are ab-
sent from home. You are attending school,
learning a trade, or engaged in some kind
of employment, that has called you away
from your dear mother and your sweet
home.
Remember your mother ut home longs to
hear from you often. Do you give her that
privilege? Or are you willing to let her
watch every mail, day after day and week
after week, until the thought comes forcing
its way into her heart that you have forgot
ten her or care more for the new associates
around YOU? Do you realize that her
thoughts are with you oftener and linger
much longer with you than yours with her!
You can think of her as a wise, thoughtful
mother in quiet peaceful home, with but
little change in her life as the seasons come
and 60 and you feel sure that all is well
with her. She can not think of you with
the same feeling of security.
You are young, and are out in world
she knows is full OF snares and temptations.
And, while her confidence in your strength
Of character may be great, yet she can
not keep back the anxious thoughts that
come unhidden, especially when she has
not heard from you for some time
She knows that this is an important period
of your life; a great change is going on !;
YOU are developing unto something. Can
you suppose her to have aught but the
deepest solicitude in knowing what that
something shall be? She has foregone much
pleasure, for your sake, and has centered
many hopes in YOU She cannot help feel,
ing deep interest in watching the result OF
her years of labor in your behalf.
Boys, write to your mother, and write

her letter to you. Do not miss single one
They were not put in her letter for the sake
of filling up the page Mothers do not have
to do that. What may seem of the least
Importance to you may be full of meaning
to her. Tell her all about yourself; tell her
all about your studies, your work, or what,
ever you may be engaged in; tell her all
about your associates, and such rs you can
not tell her about do not hesitate to drop at
once. Boys, write to your mother.
