Protection for the Lungs.

Popular Science News.
Mr.. James Hess makes q very SEN
sible suggestion, in the Herald of
Health, when he calls attention to the
absurdity of our present curious hab-
it OF wearing cambria back vests, while
the fronts are OF heavy material and
sometimes wadded, and urges the pro-
priety of protection for both sides of
the lungs. The habit, of course, has
grown from belief that the outer
coat is sufficient protection for the
back, while the chest needs warmer
covering, on account OF the coat being
open. But it seems disproval of the
reasoning that the first unpleasant
sensations OF chilliness are the So
called "creepers' running down the
spine. Even when the warmest WOOL
en- material is selected for a suiting,
the tailor, unless otherwise ordered,
will invariably make the back of the
vest ofsome thin, fimsy material, like
cambria or silk, though he may deem
it advisable to pad the front with
cotton wadding. There is no proper
reason why the back of the vest should
be made SO insufficient. The front
may be made uncomfortably thick,
and still fail to protect the lungs un-
less the back is made equally thick
and warm. In front they are protect.
ed about five times as much as in the
back by clothing, ribs, flesh, muscle.
and fat. In the back the lungs come
almost to the surface, and therefore
need more protection. Mr.. Hess as
serts that it has been his custom for
two years past, and that many gen.
tlemen to whom he has mentioned
the matter have had their vests made
with good, warm backs, and after a
winters trial are quite enthusiastic
over the change.
They have passed through the en-
tire winter and spring without once
taking cold, which is the best evidence
in support of the thick vest-back prop.
osition that could be adduced.

Royal Handwriting.

Those who have received letters from
the Queen, and their number is great
among literary men and women, know
that her majesty writes firm, angu.
lar-and, indeed, almost masculino-
hand. Occasionally it is somewhat
illegible, but, as rule, the Queens
caligraphy is clear and distinct. The
Queen uses plain cream-laid note pa
per, with a narrow black border. Her
private letters are such as any we'll
educated lady would pen, and any one
who had not been informed as to their
authorship, and who did not see the
superscription and signature, would
not guess that they were the Queens.
OF late years Sir Henry Ponsonby
has written the most Of the Queen
letters. Still letter from the Queen,
with a portrait of herself and Prince
Albert, has been received by many in
whom, or in whose work, her majesty
takes interest, during the last twenty
years. The Queen always signs letters
Victoria R..
The Prince of Wales is not in the
ordinary sense OF the word good
writer. His caligraphy would not
commend itself to the merchant or &C
countant. But. for the matter of that,
neither Gladstone nor Lord Salisbury
is a very legible penman, and as for
Lord Salisbury, the present Lord
Chancellor, his letters are quite illegi-
BILE to the uninitiated. So bad is his
writing, indeed, that he generally uses
q Typewriter.
But if the Prince OF Wales writes
badly the Princess atones for his
shortcomings in this respect, for her
letters might be placed before every
girls school in the country as models
of feminine caligraphy. It is not the
monotonous round and upright or
"backward-sloping' writing so much
affected by the girl OF the period. 1t
is clear, artistic hand of the old
school.-Tit- Bits.

Poi.
Sacramento (Cal.) News.

OaCi ss1AeuOO \OttI) NEWS.
l have spoken of poi. But what is
it? some OF your readers may inquire.
Briefly, it is the Hawaiian's staff of
life. Without poi Hawaiian would
not find life worth living. Give him
poi and with an occasional allowance
of raw fish as dessert, no matter
what may happen he is happy. He
will take it three times day and
oftener if he can get it, and every day
in the year, and always with equal If
not increased relish.
Poi is made from the root of the
ikalo or arum esculentum. This root,
which is about the size and shape of a
large beet, is baked in an underground
oven and then pounded in a hollow
stone or board mixed with water
until it has Inconsistency of printers
paste. It is next laid aside for a few
days and allowed to ferment. When
ready for use it has slight sour taste
and a pink or lilac color. The taste
is not unlike that of sour book
binders paste, and is anything but
palatable when one first essays to
make a meal of it. But q liking fer it,
as for almost anything else, is easily
acquired.
Eating poi according to native fash
ion Is quite an art, and requires con-
siderable manual, or rather digital,
dexterity. The index finger, or this
and the second finger together, are
dipped into the pasty mess when it is
quickly and deity twirled around
them and then elevated above the
mouth and allowed to trickle down
the throat in q way that simply
astonishes any one but a born Kama
ka. One unaccustomed to eating in
this way would in attempting to do
so inevitably daub it all over his face.

eff hugging and kissing would kill a
dog" his master writes, "there would
be no Dash by this time" And this
is the way in which Dash made him.
self the hero of Royalston and the
surrounding country:
A few days ago a party OF ladies,
made up of summer sojourners at the
place, went out for an afternoons
berrying. They tramped over a lot
of country and brought home a great
many berries, but one thing they did
not bring home-the handsome $50
gold watch belonging to one of the
ladies of the party. She had lost it
somewhere on the tramp-she had
no idea where. Next morning
a search party was organized, and the
fields and hills fairly secured in quest
of the watch. But no trace of it was
found. The owner gaveup the search in
despair. But at this juncture Dash's
master resolved to make test of his
capabilities. He asked the lady who
had lost the watch for the pocket in
which she had carried it,and obtained
it. He made Dash smell OF it and
+ then gave the command, "Bring
in dead bird!" Dash started off
into the fields, his master following.
He ran here and there and everywhere,
and finally ''pointed'' at little tuft
| of grass and bushes, waiting until his
master came up. The latter put his
hand into the clump and drew out the
gold watch, which was in perfect con-
dition.
Dash bears the honors which follow
ed this exploit very meekly. What
added to the astonishment OF the lady
whose property he recovered is the
fact that the watch was found in a
! part OF the field where she was ''quite
sure" she had not been.
This same accomplished Dash. by
the way, performs feat which is a
marvel to many people, but not to
those who know how the scent of q
thoroughbred setter may be trained.
His master takes q handkerchief out
of his own pocket, manages to give the
dog it's scent, and then borrows the
handkerchiefs OF a dozen members OF
the party. He mixes all of the hand.
herchiefs together, throws them in a
heap, and tells the dog to bring him
his. Dash picks up the handkerchief
one by one and throws them down
again until his masters is reached,
and then he brings it to him in tri.

They @sTrade .Lasts.'
From the Nashville (Tenn.) Union.

From the Nashville (Tenn.) Union.
Young ladies of the present age and
OF many ages past have a custom,
when they meet each other, Of Offering
to 'trade lasts" which means to tell
the one all the pretty compliments
that may have been heard about her,
IN exchange for any that may have
been heard about the challenger.
Some of the girls are very liberal and
trade for very small return, but
others will not give up their "trade"
or compliment unless full value is re-
ceived for it, If the challenged party
is very eager to get the benefit Of the
trade, she will, if not provided with a
return, have to manufacture one or
search about in the hidden corners of
her memory to bring long forgotten
compliment to tell her friend. To a
third party these conversations are
very amusing and brings to mind the
old conundrom, what is that which
makes everyone sick except those who
swallow it? Answer-hattery And
SOFT goes on, II heard somebody say
you were the prettiest girl in the city,"
"And I heard a friend of yours say
you had a most beautiful figure and
were very stylish" 'And Iheard some
one say he would rather talk to you
half an hour than the whole evening
with any one else." 'sAnd Iheard an
other gentleman say you were beauti-
full dancer" And so on, varied only
by strong pleas to know who paid
such a compliment, which is, ofcourse,
reluctantly (?) revealed after consid.
cradle banter.

Thousands of Rattlesnakes.

thousands OF mathematics.
Kinzua, Pa, Despatch to the New York
Herald.
Towering above the valleys in this
region are smaller mountains of the
Pennsylvania range. These high hills
are covered with dense forests, and
are we'll nigh inaccessible. Few men
other than bark peelers and hunters
ever ascend to the tops of the mount
aims. A party OF hunters from War
rem and Kinzua returned from sew
eral days hunt, during which they ex-
pIored large sections OF the mountains
for the first time. Fred. Hughes, one
OF the party, tells strange story,
which is corroborated by his compan-
ions. He reports that there is pc.
culiar body OF water on the very top
of one Of these mountains which has
no perceptible outlet or inlet. The
lake is inclosed on all sides by high
rocks on q pebbly formation The
hunting party say the water is full of
black snakes and that many thousand
rattlesnakes were seen sporting on the
shores of the lake and completely COW
ering the face of the high rocks which
encircle the pond. Only here and
there could patches of the rock bes
for the squirmins mass OF reptiles.
Hughes says that when disturbed on
these occasions by the presence oflnan,
instead of running away the snakes in
concert would raise their ugly heads
and hiss till the air seemed to fairly
seethe. Then all in chorus would set
up a rattling that sounded like tons
of shot poured on a plate of sheet
iron, and the echoes of which, rever-
berating between the huge powders,
would agitate the lake as ifswept over
by storm.

often happens, Abernethy preached

say, he did not always adopt the good
advice he gave to his patients. Al

A New Tonic foe Women.

One of the largest concerns of this coun- try, which has made it's prosperity and fame upon a common-sense view Of the sanitary needs of the people, is the Duffy Malt Whiskey Co.,. Baltimore. Md, the discoverers of the Duffy pure malt whis- key, the only absolutely pure wh1skey manufactured, the medicinal virtues Of which have proved it to be in a very brief period, not only the most popular, but an unfailing specific for the worst dis eases which afflict mankind. So great has been their success in this line, they have consented, upon 8 general demand from persons acquainted with and using the whiskey, to make further application of the medicinal virtues and purity or their great discovery in the treatment of diseases of a peculiar and delicate nature common to women, and upon the pre- scription of learned physician have pre- pared an article for this purpose. This new remedy, known as Duffy's Tower Milt Cure, is an invaluable tonic, the principal ingredients of which are DuHy's pure malt whiskey and mint, combining the best recognized curative agencies for the relief of pain and distress in the per formance of the menstrual functions, and as an aid to nursing mothers in the dis charge of maternal duties without fatigue. In like manner it ensures safety in the change of life and alleviates and cures faintness, melancholy, morning sickness and the troubles of pregnancy, while 1t assimilates with the blood and strengthens every organ. The purity of the ingre- dients and their health-giving qualities, compounded in accordance with the best medical law, renders this preparation strictly reliable, and it is only upon such basis of confidence that it is issued by the above firm. It has already been ex- tensively introduced through the medium of the company's publications, and there is quite demand for it.
 All inquiries concerning the use of this new remedy, in it's application to the re- lief of the complaints referred to, will be answered by the Medical Department con- nected with this concern, upon receipt of 8 statement of each case, accompanied by 6 @two-cent postage stamp.

 still Sick.
 Prince Williams with his company of gyp- sies encamped in the rear of Cases tannery at Norwich Town on Thursday of last week. There were between twenty and thirty per sons in the party and they had quite herd of horses. Mrs. Williams is the mother of fourteen children, most of whom are with her. On the day of her arrival in town Mrs. Williams and her two youngest children, a boy of five and girl of eight years, were taken sick and were quickly prostrated. Physicians were summoned on Sunday to find the boy at the point of death and the daughter in precarious condition, and the mother too ill to be about. The boy died Sunday evening" but the girl showed signs of improvement and promises to recover. Three women with the party are i'll, one seventeen with fever, and also a negro boy. Prince Williams thinks the party is suffering from malaria, but the physicians think Mrs. Will Hams and the children must have uninten- tionally eaten poisoned vegetables, the symptoms indicated poison.
