MRS. nARRINcroN's FUNERAL.
A Large Cortege of Sympathizing
Friends In Attendance.

The funeral of Mrs. Henry Harrington
occurred yesterday, the services being held
at the Catholic church and the solemn
rites celebrated by Rev. Father Nugent.
The choir gave sweet and appropriate song
service and the officiating clergyman
preached an eloquent and tender sermon
in which he dwelt with touching pathos
upon the Christian beauties of Mrs. Har-
rington's life and the brightness Of her
example. The floral tributes were pro-
fuse and beautiful, among them a large
and exquisite wreath sent by the city
council. The attendance upon the funeral
was unusually large, being greater than
that of any other such asscmblage, with
perhaps two or three exceptions,
ever seen before in this city. The city
council attended in a body, and there were
about fifty carriages in the procession
which followed the beloved remains to the
Catholic cemetery, where they were in
tered. The metallic casket in which the
body was deposited was a very elegant one
and was borne to and from the hearse by
Messrs. William Guiterman, James Dater,
j. A. Martin, Colin Hunter, L. r. Bres-
nahen and Judge Bergman, pail bearers.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Harrington to
some day remove the remains of his wife
and her little boy, who was buried a little
more than a year ago. to the family bury
ing ground in Chicago.
The sympathy of the entire community
goes out with marked warmth and express
sion TO the bereaved husband and the two
motherless children, and Mr.. Harrington
feels deeply and gratefully the evidences
thereof, and is endeavorine with all his
strength 10 bear up under the chastise-
mcnt of Him who doeth all things we'll

If wealth is measured by net income,
there never was much wealth in the south.

Wind


The reader may not be aware that in
ordinary respiration we only use a por-
ton of our lungs, the cells at the ex-
tremity not being brought into play.
This is the reason that those who are
not in training, and who try to run
for "A short distance, soon begin to gasp,
and, unless they are courageous enough
to persevere in spite of the choking sen
sation, are forced to stop. But il they
will perseyere, the choking goes o 7, and
the result is what is technically known
as second wind. When the second
wind is fully established, tho runner
does not become out of breath, but goes
on running as long as his legs will carry
hin. | know this by experience, hav-
ing been accustomed for some years TO
II three miles every morning over a
very billy road.
The fact is hat on starting, the far
therest portion of the lungs are choked
with effete air and the remainder do not
supply air enough to meet the increased
circulation caused by exercise. BY de-
grees, however, the neglected cells come
into play, and when the entire lung is
in working order the cir ulation and
respiration again balance each other,
and the second wind is the result.
Now, let the reader repeat his expert
ment of holding mis- breath against time,
but first let him force ont of his lungs
every particle of air that he can expel,
and then draw as deep a breath as his
lungs will hold. If this be repeated
some seventy or eighty times, by way of
imitation of the whale, the experimenter
will find that he can hold his breath for
n minuta aud n half withont inrOn xoni
enee Should he lie a swimmer, lie
should always take this precaution be-
fore taking a header, and he will find
hat he can swim fo- considerable dis
lance before he needs to rise for breath.

shropshIre Polk Lore.

Most of the charms used by Shrop-
shire peasants consist of some verso of
the Bible written on paper, sewn in a
parcel, and worn either around the
neck, on the afflicted part, or put under
the pillow. Pieces of elder cut Mt mid
night and under a full moon, certain
shrubs and the grease from church bells
are also used for the same purpose.
Charmers prepare the greater number
of their remedies for four maladies-
warts, whooping cough, toothache, and
shingles.
Some of their customs are decidedly
cruel. One is to cut a live toad in two
and give one-half to the patient;
another is to draw a piece of narrow
black ribbon through the body of a live
frog and then wear it round the neck,
and a third, said to be excellent for the
toothache, is to cut off the feet from
several live moles and carry them in a
little bag. A pleasant and certain cure
for one disease is TO put a piece of
bread and butter into the hand of a
corpse and then eat it out of his hand.
By the way, it should be the body of a
man that has died n violent death.

Uncle William Cole, living near
Dallas, recently dug him a cyclone pit,
which his good wife utilized for putting
her soap barrel in. His n%eighbors tell
it on him that, the other day, n whirl-
wind passed through his place and raised
considerable dust, which caused him to
gather his family together and run to
the pit. Arriving there he jumped head
foremost into il. His little son, who
was following, halted and turned to his

> II Is probably not well known in this
section that Bill Nye, when a boy, was a
clerk, for a season, in a drug store. He
got along very well in the business until a
partner of the firm for which he was
working, and who had been studying to
become a doctor, returned from a medical
college, bringing with him, in a box. the
disarticnlated bones OF a man who had
died in Jail. This box was deposited in the
ante-room of the drug store where Bill
slept, and as soon as he discovered the
presence Of the jail birds anatomical out
line he kicked. This was before he got
caught in a cyclone and suffered a broken
leg. Bill told the young doctor that he
wouldn't mind the presence Of a skeleton
with which he had some personal nc
quaintance, but he was bitterly opposed to
occupying the same bedroom with strange
skeletons and especially those Of question
able moral character. A discussion en-
sued, but all the doctors eloquence could
not move Bill Nye from the position he
occupied. He had drawn the line at
strange and immoral skeletons, and those
who know Mr. Nye know also that when
he draws a line it is as immovable as the
burrows Of time on the aged brow, or
bunions on an old maids little toe, back
joint. With some expressions of indigna-
ton. the new and latest style of doctor
carried the box away, but shortly after
ward returned it, surreptitiously, and
placed it under Nye's bed. Unconsciously
Nye roomed with the skeleton for several
days, but one night-while looking under
his couch for burglars-he discovered
that same old box, and thereupon he
dragged it out and carried it
to a steep place by the unsalted sea, which
fingered near, and threw it over, and
there was a rafting Of dry bones. He
returned to his room, and taking up his
banjo was singing exnltantly to the
southern shell, when the doctor came in,
and taking a sly look under the bed,
found that his bones this second hand
bonesl were gone. He was a religious
man, but he spoke abruptly to Bill and
Bill-it is painful to say-swore at the
doctor, and then and there Mr., Nye's
career as a drug clerk suddenly ended,
and as he went away with his beloved
instrument the young doctor heartlessly
advised him that when he went over to
the evergreen shore he should take his
banjo with him, for he would never be
given a harp. Bill ~retaliated by telling him
that he ought to take an old hat with him
when HE went, so that he might cut of
the rim and have a crown, and that he
must take a ~camp-stool alongif he wanted
a seat anywhere in the auditorium.
Nye writes us that he has lately been
on a visit to the grave yard in the town
where he put up prescriptions, but that
he doesn't see any marked improvement
in the place since his day.

The Reverend DIR. Bell has offered a
resolution in the Presbyterian Assembly
having for its motive the suppression Of
Sunday newspapers. The resolution
eyinces the fact that the Reverend DIR.
Bell has about az much brains as Thomp-
sons colt which swan the river to get a
drink, because he had been in the habit
OF drinking on the other side. Almost
anyone else but the Reverend DIR. Bell
would know that the work of getting up a
Sunday paper is done on Saturday, and
when the world gets to be so good that
people won't read on Sunday it will be too
good for any use except for graveyards for
such as the Reverend DIR. Bell. Apropos,
a gentleman of Indianapolis, lately told
this writer that during the pastorship Of
Rev. Myron w. Reed of the First Pres
byterian church, in the city named, some
ofthe bigoted pillars Of the church COM
planned that too many gamblers and other
bad people came to hear him preach.
Now, Mr.. Reed, who is at present the
pastor OF the First Congregational church
in Denver, is a minister who believes that
heaven is paved with good intentions as
much as that hell is; he is wonderfully at
tractive speaker, and being broad and lib
eral, llsorts and conditions Of people go to
hear him and he would Just as soon be instru-
mental in the salvation of a !gambler as a
shoddy contractor, and it is the belief of a
good many that a gambler is about nine
miles and some laps nearer heaven than
any pot-bellied old bigot who wouldn't
give the gambler a chance for his white
alley in the plan of salvation. Probably
the Reverend DIR. Bell would freeze the
gambler out and thus make hell that
much hotter for him on account Of the
hntipodal Naturalization.
