Tight dressing, though the most
serious hindrance to the habit of
good breathing, is not the only OBJ
stacle. There are careless ways of
sitting and standing that draw the
shoulders forward and cramp the
chest; and it is as hard for the lungs
to do good work when the chest is
narrow and CONSTRUCTED as it is for
closely bandaged hand to set a copy
ofclear, graceful penmanship. Then
there are lazy ways of breathing, and
one-sided ways ofbreathing, and the
particularly bad habit of breathing
through the mouth. Now the nose
was meant to breathe through, and
1t is marvelously arranged for filter
ing the impurities out ofthe air, and
for changing it to a suitable temper
allure for entering the lungs. The
mouth has no such apparatus, and
when air is swallowed through the
mouth instead Of breathed throuth
the nose, it has an injurious effect
upon the lungs. A story is told Of
an Indian who had personal en-
counter with 4 white man much his
superior in size and. strength, and
who was asked afterward if he was
not afraid. ''Menev afraid or man
who keeps mouth open, was the i'm
mediate reply. Indeed, breathing
through the mouth gives a foolish
and weak expression to the face, a,
you may see by watching any one
asleep with the mouth open.
1t may be noted that an annmic
or low condition of the blood is sci
dom found where there is an estab
lished habit of full. deep breathin,
with the mouth closod.-From st
| Nicholas.

The Baltimore Sun revives the fol-
lowing story Of Elias Howe, the in
ventor of sewing machines:
At the outbreak of the war, when
he was amillionaire, he enlisted as a
private to show his patriotism and in
dependence. Money grew scarce,
and his regiment, which was sent,
South, was left unpaid for three
months. AT the end of that time
Howe, in his private's uniform, one
day entered the office of the quarter
master and asked when the soldiers
Of the regiment were to be paid.
81 don't know" replied the quar-
termaster.
"Well, how much is owed them?''
blandly asked the private.
"What is that to your" said the
storekeeper, with a look of surprise,
ooh, nothing" said Howe, non.
chalantly ; eff you'll figure out the
amount I'll give you my check fol
the whole business"
"Who are your" gasped the quar-
termaster.
Elias Howe, and my check is gooC
for the pay of the entire army"
The quartermaster made out hi:
bills, and Howe gave him his checl
for three months pay for his regi
ment.
The government aiterward REIN
bursed him.

THE DANGER IN WISCONSIN.

Tie Chicago Journal: Word comes
that the Democrats in Wisconsin are max
ing trade with the so-called Labor
party for the purpose of defeating Gov.
Rusk's re- election. Political trucking
will never go lower than this, if the story
is true. The Democratic party has done
many base things in many states, but in
no Northern state has it ever stopped so
low as to ally itself with the anarchy
wing of the Socialists to defeat man who,
above all others, represented law and or
der, and whose re election would mean so
much in favor of law and order and so
much against rioters and Anarchists.
The leaders of the labor party--or ''the
Peoples parry" as they call it in Wis
consin-are now loud in the declarations
against violence. But they were the
leaders before the riots in May, the same
as they are now. They either could not
restrain the turbulent elements that pre-
cipitated the riots or they did not want to.
OF course they temper their language to
suit surrounding conditions. They are
not as violent now as during the excite
ment preceding the riots. 1t would not
be popular to be so. The anatbemas of
the con Yicted ''reds' in this city are mild
now as compared with their old time talk.
They meant TO overthrow society, but
only by peaceable means. There never
was any disturbance at any of their meet
ings when the police were Kept away
"Take away the police and there will be
nc trouble they said.
Itseems hardly credible that the leaders
OF the Democratic party, in the hope of a
little partisan prestige, will make an alli>
ance with those whom they know to re-
present all the helawless elements of society
If such an alliance has been formed the
people of Wisconsin ought to see that a
governor or state ticket elected by such a
trade will directly encourage the Anarch-
lists to hope for final success. And, in
case of further "labor troubles" GOV
ernor elected by trade that secured him
Anarchists votes, without which he could
not have been elected, could hardly be
depended on to deal with riots in the
right way.
Gov. Rusk's reelection is demanded by
the highest interests of society. His de-
feat would be hailed with joy by every
red-mouthed, revolution brawler in the
country, and would be construed to mean
rebuke to Gov. Rusk and an endorse
ment of socialism and anarchists by
majority of the people of the state, Just
now, when organized society is engaged
in its first direct struggle with these vici
Gus elements, Wisconsin cannot afford to
place herself on the wrong side. Wis
consin Democrats who wish to live peace
able lives and do business in the state
can not afford to let it be done.
The result of this election means more
to the highest interests of society than
that of any state election since the war.

WoMAN's INHUMANITY TO WOMAN
1t is rare, very rare, that we behold a
woman tender her seat to an aged or dis.
abled member of her sex. L is daily
occurrence to witness some old lady hang
ing on to strap and rudely jostled about,
while the seats are filled with strong and
healthy women, who would never think
OF rising. If they-especially tue young
ones-were to know how gracious and
kindly such an act would make them
appear in the eyes of men whose good
opinion is worth having, they would not
loll back in their seats with the cold and
languid Indifference which they usually
display.-PhiIddelphia Bulletin.
