Miles Miles

With the exception OF about two hun
dred miles ot Northern Pacific road and
about hundred miles along the
Missouri and Big Sioux rivers Dakota's 8
3.5OO miles of railroad track has been ac-
qulred during the last seven years.
Most of this track was laid in an unocou-
pied and undeveioped country, the rail-
roads pushing out ahead OF settlement
and preparing the prairies for occupation.

sound was heard like distant thunder.
and the bell in st. Philips steeple was
rung by its agency. In Savannah
there was rumbling like distant thun-
der and flashes of light in the air. In
Louisville chimneys were shaken down,
and life was in evident danger. The
springs of fresh water in Kentucky
were tainted with sulphur, and the
shock extended over Ohio, Michigan
and Illinois. The next year, 1872,
January %, the earthquake was felt
anew, principally at Richmond,
Charleston, Pittsburgh and New Mad

NEW CALEDO MA.
A French Possession Which Is Neither
More Nor Less Than n Penal Colony.

A French Possession which Is Neither
More Nor Less Than a Penal Colony.
New Caledonia is neither more nor
less than a penal settlement of France,
and 1t has absorbed as many criminals
as the French Government dare send.
But away some two hundred miles to
the northeast there lies fair range of
islands, which are not only beautiful
and fertile in themselves but which
seem to present quite a succession of
comfortably isolated residences for
those who leave France at the expense
of their country and for their country's
good.
The New Hebrides Archipelago COM
prise some twenty islands, large and
small, the largest being Espiritu
Santo, which measures about seventy
miles in length by about thirty in
breadth. The aborigines of the group
have all come from the same Papuan
stock; yet not only do they differ very
much in physical aspect, but tribes are
absolutely foreigners to other tribes.
Not only has each island its own lam
guayc, but so also has each tribe; at
any rate il is recorded that on one OF
the islands alone there are six native
towns in which six distinct languages
are spoken. These languages, no
doubt, have all q certain affinity, yet
they are marked by differences some
what broader than what we are ac-
customed to regard as dialects. This
confusion of tongues is one of the most
remarkable characteristics of the New
Hebrides, as well as one of the great
est difficulties with which Cbristisniz.

ABOUT BREATHING.
Tho Particularly Bad Habit OF Breathing
Through the Mouth.


Tight dressing, though the most seri-
Gus hindrance to The habit of good
breathing, is not the only obstacle.
There are careless ways of sitting and
standing that draw the shoulders for
ward and cramp the chest; and it is as
hard for the lungs to do good work
when the chest is narrow and construct
ed as it is for closely bandaged hand
to set a copy of clear, graceful penman-
ship. Then there are lazy ways OF
breathing, and onc-sided ways Of
breathing, and the particularly bad
habit of breathing through the mouth.
Now the nose was meant to breathe
through. and tits marvelously arranged
for filtcring the impurities out of the air,
and for changing it to suitable tenn
perature for entering the lungs. The
mouth has no such apparatus, and
when air is swallowed through the
mouth instead of breathed through tn,
nose, it has an injurious effect upon
the lungs. A story is told of an Indian
who had personal encounter with 8
white man much his superior in size and
strength, and who was asked afterwart
il he was not afraid. "Me never afrai(
of man who keeps mouth OPEN" was
the immediate reply. Indeed, breath
ing through the mouth gives foolsf
and weak expression to the face, as yo,
may see by watching any one ASLEEP
with the mouth open.
1t may be noted that an anamic, o.
low, condition of the blood is seldom
found where there is an established
habit of full. deep breathing with thu
mouth closed. HELEN Clark SDdzey

EARTHQUAKE HORRORS,
Their Record in Ancient and Mod
ern Times.
Human Prevention Suggcsted-Suddennes
of the Casualties-The Earthquakes
at Lima, Callao, Lisbon and In
the United States.

The rapidity with which the earth.
quake destroys is one of its most horri-
BILE features. The cyclone is slow and
the confagration dull, compared with
the fearful celebrity of the earthquake.
The shock seldom lasts longer than a
few seconds, sometimes minute, vet
its power can compass the destruction
of magnificent cities whose structures
have stood for centuries, and territories
are distorted and shorn of their
beauty and productiveness hills are
made valleys and valleys hills, rivers
are dried up and yawning riffs open in
the solid earth from which flames and
smoke issue.
In Calabuia whole district of coun-
try covered with fourishing towns,
fertile, rich and happy, was in few
F.. seconds converted into dismal waste.
AT that time the most strange distor-
tons of nature took place. Cities upon
hills were hurled down into the valley
below, the wales were converted into
mountains and lakes. Where hills had
existed wales came to displace them,
fields were removed with all their
growing crops and the laborers in
their midst to strange and distant
places. Sand spread over their fields,
and the distortion of the landscape was
so great that the survivors did not rec
ognize their own homes.
The earthquake does not ALWAYS
give an intimation of its coming. The
most experienced observer can not
foretell by any signs in the earth or sky
when the dreaded visitation is at hand.
Sometimes it comes when the summer
days are -clOudlesss and bright, and
when the stars look serenely upon the
earth in all the splendor' of tropical
night. 1t comes at other times when
the air is thick and cloudy, and heavy
clouds fill the sky. Winter and sum.
mer are alike subject to its visitation;
like death it has all seasons for its own.
The inhabitants of Lima supposed they
could foretell an earthquake by the cir.

mate nature every time. Both science
and observation, the wise philosopher
and the presuming empiric, have
'ailed alike in establishing any law b,
which the dread calamity may be pre-
dicted.
The cause of earthquakes is also un
known. Although theories withou
number have been advanced upon tn,
subject, the most vigorous of human
intellects have labored in vain to form
some adequate estimate concernin,
their origin and cause. The Chaldesni
were in the habit of attributing then
