Respiration.

Prof Mosso, OF Rome, 10 a recent
memoir, expounds various observations
made by him on respiration. By means
OF tracines taken from Q man in state
OF complete rest be bas recognized that
in the respiratory movements periods of
greater or less depth in breathing alter
nate with one another. and that such pe-
riods are noticeable In all animals, espe-
ciallv during sleep. He has likewise ae-
certained that man breathes q greater
quantity of air than ls necessary and it
is that respiration which be calls "pleas-
ureahle." 1t is in consequence OF this
excess in the ordinary breathing tha. Z
man does not increase the extent OF his
respiratory movements In ascending Q
mountain or undergoing change OF at
mospheric pressure. According to the
pauses which the periodic respiration
undergoes. Prof. Mosso divides Il into.
'remittent" and "intermittent These
ipauses 10 not depend on the movements.

Cattle Trails.


The cattle trails through the Indian
Territory by settlers upon the Cherokee
strip Is engross;ng the attention Of the
Secretary Of the Interior. In answer 10
complaints made by the drovers that
they were not permitted to take their
cattle over the established trails, the
Secretary telegraphs that no one had Q
right to obstruct. Nevertheless il APP
pears that the officers Of the Federal
Courts In Kansas whose Jurisdiction ex.
tends over the Cherokee strip have dis
regarded these kilograms and persisted
in excluding the Texas cattle under the
act Of May "a, 1884. which forbids any
person to drive cattle on foot through
sny State or Territory knowing them TO
be infected With q contagious disease.
Secretary Lamar has now requested the
Attorney General to instruct the court
officers to cesse their opposition to those
using the established trails and to re-
frain from interfering with the cattle
drovers while on the trails 10 the Ind ian
Territory.

The first question was, where should

OF consideration / made up my mind to
visit the town Of S. and see what
chance there was for q young lawyer
there. As ] Itrudged along. drew near
to apparently the only hotel in the place.
A man in his shirt sleeves was seated in
chair outside the hotel. The chair was
tilted. against the wall and the man was
smoking aehort pipe.

and came here to see whether there was
an opening"
IL guess there is," the landlord said
"a lively young fellow that will actequars
and not charge overmuch will get along
here, l reckon"
"Glad to hear it." said I, adding, sl
should want a room and board at mod
crate rate"
"There's a room right upstairs on th'
first Aoor," said the landlord "there i
is (poihting with bis pipe to the win
dow); go.right upstairs and look at it.
"But about the price p asked.

said, sand we'll talk about the price ai

asked me how I liked it and said !
would suit.
"But how about the price for room

"We'll settle that after you've got fair
ly started" said he.
~ insisted, no Wever, that it be settlct
at once and at length the landlord said
"Will two dollars and halt wee

"You may be sure it did and the bar
