ABOUT BREATHING.

Tho Particularly had 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 il 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 one-sided ways of
breathing. and the particularly bad
habit of breathing through the mouth.
Now tie nose was meant to breathe
through. and it is marvelously arranged
for filtering the impurities out of the air,
and for changing it to a 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 the
nose, it has an injurious effect upon
the lungs. A story is told of an Indian
who had personal encounter with a
white man much his superior in size and
strength, and who was asked afterward
if he was not afraid. '.Nle never afraid
OF man who keeps mouth open." was
the immediate reply. Indeed, breath
ing through the mouth gives foolish
and weak expression to the face, as you
may see by watching any one asleep
with the mouth open.
1t may be noted that an anamic. or
low, condition of the blood is seldom
found where there is an established
habit Of full, deep breathing with the
mouth c!osed.-Hellen Clark SUazey.

in t527. .565), of which Gibbon gives an
account, Nivenzio gives lamentable
account of the earthquakes that have
devastated the different sections of the
world since the discovery of America.
Lima alone has suffered fourteen
times from this cause. The city of
Lima has been painted by those who
visited it when it was under Spanish
rule in the last century as one of the
fairest of cities. Its climate was
like that of an Arabian paradise. so
balmy and soft. No chilling breath
of winter ever visited its people. No
rain ever fell there. but instead an inn
palpable vail of mist that came from
the sea in the day fell in gentle dew at
night upon the thirsty land to preserve
the vegetation and temper the climate,
and it was only at rare intervals that
the permanent moisture was dissi-
pated and the heat was felt to be un-
comfortable. 1t was on q plain, six
miles above the level of the sea, "a ter
restial paradise" said traveller.

wonderful fertility. where orange
groves and tropical flowers bloomed

happy Peruvians. The city, designed
with taste and care, with its broad
streets and tropical foliage, was one of
the most splendid that the American
continent could boast There was sit

stumbling, unsteady gait a tall, lank, leai
man, considerably over six feet in height
with STOPPING shoulders, long, pendulou
arms, terminating In hands of extraordinary
dimensions, which, however, were far OK
eeeded in proportion by his feet. He wa
dressed in an ill-ftting, wrinkled suit OF
black, which put one in mind of an under

rope of black silk was lmotted in large
bulb, with flying ends projecting beyond the
collar of his coat; his turned-down shi,. col

OF hair, bristling and compact like ruff OF

"Ths impression produced by the size Of his
extrenities, and by his Tapping and wide
projecting ears may be removed by the APP
pearance of kindness, sagacity and the awk-
ward bonhomie of his face; the mouth Is abb
solutely prodigious; the lips, struggling and
extending almost from one line of black beard
to the other, are only kept in order by two
deep burrows from the nostril to the chin; the
nose, itself prominent organ, stands out
from the face with an inquiring, anxious air,
as though it was shifting for some good thing
in the wind; the eyes lark, full of an expires
sion which almost amounts TO tenderness, and
above them projects the shaggy brow, run
ming into tho small, hard frontal space, the
development of which can scarcely be esti-
mated accurately, owing to irregular locks of
thick hair. Ben: Perley PORES Letter.

the number was 20S pounds-a gain Of three
pounds over last year. Ten years ago he
weighed 2l7; in 1877 $50, and in 1870 even
243, whereupon he got alarmed and tried the
"Schwenninger cure,p which in three years
reduced his weight to ZOE pounds. While he
takes the waters at Kissengen the chancellor
ascertains his weight every time, and his fee

es. The fall stock Of dress goods at this es-
tablishment is unsurpassed by any house
west of Chicago, and ne stock there excels
it in desirable and seasonable goods, nor in
fine qualities nor late fashions. Mr.. Gillen
makes 1t special point to keep up with the
times. No new and stylish article Of ladies'
apparel that comes out in the East fails to
catch his eye, and his customers may be
certain beyond doubt that they never will
be eclipsed in handsome new styles by any
one in the big cities To select from, his new
fall stock is to be in the height Of fashion.
He personally looks after the buying depart
ment and never fails either in choosing the
most desirable goods or in getting them for
what they are justly worth, and he never
fails to give his patrons the advantages Of
choice goods and low prices. He sells tho
finest of dress goods cheaper than his Gus
toners could get them at retail in Chicago.
This is because he is an experienced buyer (;
he buys large quantities at time and pays
cash. So that no one can save money, but
will surely lose it, by sending away for
goods. His stock Of fancy and colored
silks, velvets, &C., has never been so exten-
sive nor so varied, or so low in price for

This extensive feature of his large stock
deserves more than a mere mention; it is
superb. The many ladies who have exam
ined these goods and bought from this stock
never weary in praising it. The assortment
is varied so as to suit every taste and to
become people of all ages, from the small.
est school girl to the most sedate matron.
These articles are elegantly trimmed in hun
dreds of different ways, and of the richest
materials. To say that they are of the very
newest styles is unnecessary, as Mr.. Gillen
keeps no other.
THE ROOT AND SHOE DEPARTMENT
Needs no praise. II speaks abundantly for
itself and is constantly full of buyers. Mr.
Gillen selects all these goods himself, and
all his finest goods in this line are made ex-
pressly to his order out of the very best and
