Holding the Breath.

Deep breathing and holding the
breath is an item of importance. Per-
sons Of weak vitality lind an uninter.
rupted succession of deep and rapid req
piration so distressing that they are dis
couraged from persevering in the excr-
else. Let such persons take into the
lungs as much air rs they can ut n
breath and hold il as long as they can,
they Will find grateful sense of relief
in the whole abdominal region. Prac-
ticc will increase the ability to hold the
breath and the capacity Of the lungs.
After time the art may be learned of
packing the lungs. This is done by
taking and holding the long breath and
then forcing more air down the irachca
by swallows of air. The operation may
be described by that of a iish's mouth
in water To those who have never
learned il it will be surprising to what
an extent the lungs may be packed.
Caution is at first nccdfil, but litcr
practice will warrant large use of the
treatment. The whole thoracic and alb
dominal cavities will receive immediate
benefit, and continuance, with temper

The Casket Containing the Remains OF the
Late President James A. Garfield, Her

CLEVELAND, o., Feb. 7.--Lake View
Cemetery presented a beautiful and pict-
uresquc view yesterday morning. The
silent sentry was pacing back and forth
in front of the Garfield vault, and all was
silent as the tomb. Suddenly three con.
veyances appeared on the scene, which
brought handsome bronze sarcophagus,
the undertaken aud four representatives
of the press. No one else was present
but James II. Garfield, Lieutenant Ed
wards and the soldiers stationed at Gar.
field post. The transfer Of the remains
Of the late President James A. Garfield,
has been under consideration for some
time, and the little gathering was for this
purpose.
The casket was not opened, but was
quickly placed in the sarcophagus under
the direction of the undertaken The
outer covering was then Theoretically
sealed and the remains were lost to
mortal view forever. The sarcophagus
was then returned to the vault, where
it will remain until the handsome monu-
ment, which is to be erected TO the mem
ory of the honored dead, is completed
The sarcophagus is work of art and
is the finest article Of the kind ever
manufactured in this country. 1t is of
solid bronze metal, handsomely orna-
mented and weighs $50 pounds. The
top is partially oval and massive bands
run along the sides and ends. The en-.
tire sarcophagus rests on four lions
feet, one at each corner indicating
strength.
A handsome tablet of superior work.
manship was placed on the top of the
sarcophagus. II is six by fifteen inches,
was designed by Tiffany, and can not be
duplicated for $500. One man was con.
stantly employed for forty-fyc days in
doing the chasing work. On each end are
lilies. Oak leaves and acorns ornament
the projections in the center, while lichen
and calycanthus arc intertWined, giving
beautiful effect. The tablet is symbolical
OF the dead President, symbolizing, as il
does, his love of home by the lichens, his
love OF mankind by the calycanthus, his
purity by the lily and his courage by the
oak. The cost of the sarcophagus was
$1,000. The military guard about the
vault will be continued until the latter
part of next June.

HARD ON NOSE.
A Commercial Transaction In which Mr.
sehaumburg Is the Loser.

A Commercial Transaction In which Mr.
sehaumburg Is the Loser.
Nose Schaumburg, of Austin, is up to
all the tricks of trade, and was in the
habit of playing it pretty sharp, not
only on his customers but also on the
firm of Schwindelmeyer & Co, from
whom he purchases his goods in New
York.
Schaumburg, on receiving an invoice
of goods. was in the habit of deducting
several yards from every piece of goods
he received. He claimed shortage on
every piece of goods, even when tho
niece contained full measure or even a
surplusage.
Schwindelmeyer 4 Co., of New
York. suffered great deal from this
system of stealing. but rather than lose
Schaumburg's trade they allowed him
the shortage, until it became such a
regular thing that they resolved to play
for even, even if they did lose his trade.
Schaumburg ordered big bill of dry
Goods. The New York firm cut each
and every piece of goods in two, kept
one-half. sent the bill for the full num-
Der of yards ordered, bit hept ne goods
back.
In due time Schaumburg received the
bill, and expecting the goods would ar
rive in a day or SO, acknowledge the re-
ceipt of the goods and sent on check
for the amount, deducting AS usual
several yards shortage on each piece.
As soon as the Now York merchant got
this reply he shipped the goods and adj
milled the deduction for shortage as
just and proper.
Imagine the astonishment OF Nose on
opening the goods to find that each
piece lacked half the number of yards
il should contain. As he had already
claimed several yards shortage on each
piece and as the New York firm had
allowed it, the only thing for Nose to
do was to keep quiet about il.
1t is needless 10 add that he deals no
longer with Schwndelmeyer X Co., OF

While there is touch of barbarism
in wearing riggs ON the fingers, yet the
civilized hand has so long been adorned

The ancient Romans wore the ring on

The Greeks wore their rings on the
fourth finger of the left hand. the Gauls
and Britons on the third finger of the
left hand. In Pliny's time the betrotha,

stone instead of Il gem. The Romans
were even greater slaves to fashion than
