Keep the mouth closed and breath

Keep the mouth closed and breathe
through the nose, especially in cold
weather. There are two good reasons
for this. Air drawn through the nasal
passages is slightly warmed on its way;
if breathed more directly through the
mouth it reaches the lungs too cold. II
is also said, and it looks reasonable, that
the fine hairs lining the nostrils keep
out dust and disease germs which would
find free passage to the throat and lungs
if one breathed through the mouth.
Children should be taught correct habits
of breathing from the beginning.-M Y

relation to questions of fair Transports
tion. 1t is generally admitted by the
managers of these lines of communica-
ton, that great evils now exist, some
times arising from personal or other
favoritism or the reverse. by which one
customer, or one village or city, is ruined
or greatly Injured and another advanced,
and by which even the companies them
selves are frequently involved in "'war
of rates" destructive to their own prop
erty, and so fluctuating the prices of
transportation that producers and ship
pers cannot calculate with any certainty
in respect of their operations. And in
still another and most important way the
state of things | have mentioned iniuri-
ously affects our farmers, manufacturers
and merchants. This is done by charg
ing too high rates for short transporta-
tion and roo low rates for long distances.
1t frequently happens, as everybody
knows, that it costs the farmers and
manufacturers of Ohio. for instance, as
much or more to transport their pro-
duets 800 miles to market as it does the
farmers and manufacturers of Texas or
Oregon to send their products to the
same market over distances three or four
times as great.-and we know of like in
=
out of consideration the comparatively
trifling matter of loading and unloading.
and other terminal charges, the actual
expense of railway transportation of the
same kind of goods over the same or
similar lines, depends almost entirely on
the distance run. The railway companies
have the right to live and make fair
profits from their business. If they do
this it follows that of their income the
shippers for short distances. in the cases
supposed have paid rates unreasonably
high, and the shippers for longer distan-
ces have paid rates unreasOnably low.
The farmers of Vermont. for instance.
where the price of land and wages is
high. are by these methods compelled to
contribute Il part of their hard-earned
gains to the farmers of some distant part
of the country, where land and wages
are low, to help them make their pro-
ducts worth as much as if they had been
grown or raised within 300 miles of Bos-
ton or New York. This cannot be JUS
tiCe. NearnesS and distance from the
place of sale or consumption are just aS
natural and interchangeable relations aS
are those of the soil. climate. skill or
thrift. A. well might the farmer, who
with good land and thorough and indus
triOuS cultivation has raised a good crop,
be required to give a part of it to his
neighbOr, who. with poorer land. iudo-
lence and infinite weeds has raised only
half a> much. And this, of course. ap-
plies a. well to all sorts of things pro-
duccd aS to those of the farm.
Evil, of this kind which seem to be

The Wool MARKET.

The wool trade is enjoying an activity
such as it has not seen for many day.
1t is attributed to the revival of business,
and the consequent increased demand, as
well as to the fallng-of in production
caused by fockmasters disposing of their
sheep during the depression of the past
two or three years. The report of the
State auditor of Ohio, which has lately
been made public, shows that the number
of sheep in that State has decreased the
past year sufficiently TO cut down the
wool product of the State by over two
million pounds. The usually conserva-
tive Boston journal, in its review of the
situation at the close of last week, says
The wool market has been on the
"bOom" this week and is excited and ac-
tive. There were not "a few in the trade

THE MAINE ELECTION.

Last week Maine chose a governor,
four congressman, IA Legislature and county
officers. The election was preceded by
one of the liveliest canvasses the State
ever saw. Mr.. Blaine was the leading
speaker on the side of the Republicans,
and Mr.. st. John was imported to assist
the Prohibitionists in their efforts TO
lower the Republican majority. The re-
suits are thus given in a dispatch from
Chairman Manley of the Republican
State committee to New York paper
Official returns from every city, town
and plantation in the state give POdwcll
1000 majority over Edwards. our
plurality on congressman is l7,O0O. The
Republicans elect l4S members of the
legislature. the Democrats 80. \ special
effort was made by the Democrats TO cap
ture the legislature and defeat Mr. Hale,
but he will be renominated by acclama-
tion and elected by the largest vote ever
thrown in Maine for United States sen
ator. Our victory, taking it all in all.
is the greatest Republican triumph ever
achieved in Maine.

who believed some time ago that Septem-
Der would bring about active movements.
Their predictions are now verified by
facts. and the market is as active and
much stronger than at the correspond
ing time last year when the "boom" was
ON. The sales the past week foot up u
total of BIOS. 800 pounds, which is a very
large busineS, larger. in fact. than for
weeks. Prices are tirmer on all grades.
The greatest advance and the most actv-
ity has been in fine washed fleeces. woods
which are grown in Ohio. Pennsylvania.
West Virginia and Michigan. These
woods have been unusually low. and the
strength of the market for some time
past has been on the other grades. Even
at the advance. prices are still compara-
lively low. and we may look for Il fur
ther hardening later on. I'm fact the
tendency on all kinds of wool is upward.
and prices are now named by dealers
which short time ago would have been
considered absurdly high. There are
still some in the trade WHO are pessimiS
tie. They doubt the efficacy of the pres
ent boom upon trade in the long run.
They consider that the improvement has
commenced at the wrong end: that
goods, not wool should have first felt its
effects. We consider that if such had
been the case it might have been better
for both branches than is the present sit
uatiOn. Nevertheless, il is well for both
that wool has advanced and is such good
property today Manufacturers will be
able thereby to advance the prices of
their goods. They will be obliged to do
50 in proportion to the advanced cost of
the raw material. The position of wool
to-day is as strong one, at home and
abroad. as the most hopeful in the trade
anticipated. Manufacturers at the pres
ent time are holding back, but dealers
are confident that the present position
will be maintained. and that before very
long buyers will be of their way of think
ing. 1t is seldom that we see such gen
eral confidence in the situation.

GETTING EVEN.

The United States minister at Pekin.
China, reports to the department of state
an outrage upon Rev. Mr.. Fulton and
wife. missionaries of the American Pres
byterian board at kwai Ping, 400 miles
from Canton. The mission property was
destroyed and the missionaries had to
flee for their lives. The mission of the
Methodists at Chung King has also been
made way with by mob.
The cause of the trouble is said to be
the attacks upon Chinese in the western
part of the United States. Very likely
this is the true cause. The Chinese have
some justification, and it is too much to
expect, that they will do better by our
citizens than we do by the natives of that
country who come here.
