A SIGHT WORTH SEEING.

Probably few persons ever saw the
breathing apparatus of human being
laid open for inspection. From n hos
pital cadaver, we once saw the lungs and
bronchial tubes removed, and blown UP
as boy would bladder or toy balloon,
until the fine bronchial tubes and air
cells of the lungs were distended to their
fullest extent. In this state the lungs
were hardened by immersion in alcohol,
so that they remained expanded when
the air was let free. With sharp knife
the wind-pipe and lungs were split open,
so that it was easy to trace the bronchial
tubes gradually diminishing in size from
the wind-pipe itself, becoming finer and
more delicately branched, until smaller
than fine sewing cotton, these tiny bron-
chi lead into the air-cells beyond. to con-
vey the air to sustain life.
Truly wonderful sight, which we
have often recalled during the past win
ter as we read of the great number of
deaths from pneumonia and bronchitis.
Nearly $50 deaths in Boston in the
month of January.
1t seems impossible to most people,
that so common and simple disease as
bronchitis, should cause death at all.
But think for moment, what would
happen if the lining membrane of those
tiny tubes described above should be-
come much swollen by inflammation,
which is likely to occur after any severe
cold. The passage of air to the lung
cells would be stopped, and the patient
die from suffocatiOn, as certainly as if a
giant grasped his throat.
People should not overlook the irrita-
ton or Tickling in the throat" which
causes hacking cough Sure symp-
toms Of bronchitis. The irritation being
caused from inflammation inside the
wind-pipe,it is useless to take medicines
into the stomach TO cure it; one might
as well eat tallOw to cure chapped hands.

Before LETT Bennington last October,
the anxiety Of those (whose wishes
very much respec:ed) induced me to
favor the wooden markers until more
expensive ones could be provided. The
conclusion, however, forces itself upon
me that we will never be better prepar-

A correspondent in the Boston Jour
nal has a long letter upon Protection
and Prosperity" the opening sentences
of which contain much truth in a very
little space. He says: The stock argu
ment OF free traders, the argument with
which, by reason of its plausibility, they
hope to deceive our farmers, and, by
their aid, to hold the power they have
gained, is: Protection is nothing else
than robbery; it taxes the many for the
benefit Of few, il compels our farmers
10 pay millions Of dollars annually for
which they receive no accomplishing
benefits, and by reason Of which our
manufacturing classes are rapidly alb
sorbing the wealth of the country. This
is no new argument; 1t is older than the
Constitution; it is as old as the Declars-
ton; 1t is one in meaning with the idea
that would have kept England the
workshop, America the RraDaTy." When
the British Parliament declared the iron
foundries Of the Colonies TO be public
nuisances, 1t simply reiterated this idea.
When VIM. Pitt, the friend of America,
declared in his place IN the House If
Commons, II would not permit the Col.
onies to manufacture lock of wool, or
a horse shoe, or hob NAIL" he simply
meant that It should be the mission OF
America TO produce raw materials and
consume the manufactures of England.
When,at the close Of a seven years war,
England was forced to acknowledge the
independence OF America, she coDgrat-
ulsted herself that, Though we have
lost the sovereignty Of the Colonies, we
have kept what is Of greater value, their
trade"

In the House, recently, Gen. Grout, of
the Second Vermont District, made a
very apt retort on Mr.. Bland of Missouri,
one of the Democratic free traders.
Gen, Grout, as reported in the Congress
sional Record, said: II do not rise to
make speech, but heard, as l came
into the hall, the clerk reading what, as
/ was informed, was a newspaper arti-
Gle to the effect that some officer in Yer.
mont, who must have been the inspector
of finance, had reported that many mil.
lions Of dollars were placed by the peo-
pie of Vermont on farm mortgages in
the West, which have no doubt is cor
rect. The gentleman from Missouri
then went on to say that the farmers in
the West were struggling beneath a
great burden OF debt and that they Ia
bored under a great disadvantage in con
sequence of the tariff bearing so heavily
upon them and cited in proof of it the
fact that manufacturing states of New
England, which were fattening off the
tariff, were sending millions of money
West. Now, | want to remind the gen
tleman from Missouri and the House
that Vermont is not manufacturing
State. 1t is strictly an agricultural State,
almost exclusively 80; and this report
from the infpector of finance was re.
spectIDg the savings institutions Of the
State, which carry the earnings and saw
ings of the farmers in that State. So, IL
the farmers in the West are suffering 10
the extent the gentleman says in conse-
quence Of the protective tariff, which
bears in Vermont precisely as in Mis-.
souri, the people of Missouri better move
to Vermont, where farmers find no fault
with the protective tariff, except that it
is not high enough.

INoORRRorINsCRIPT

The date of the battle of Trenton, as
given in the inscription on the Wash
ington monument at Baltimore. is said
to be incorrect. The battle was fought
so all authorities agree, on the Goth Of
December, 1910. The inscription has 1t
the 25th, and movement is now in pro-
gress to correctIt.
The new pension building at Wash
ington, the inferior character OF which
is so apparent that Gen. Sheridan says
its only fault is that it is fire proof, bears
a tablet which declares that it was COM
pleted during the vice presidency Of
John ]. ingalls,. AS Senator Ingalls, was
never vice. president of the United States
such statement is unwarrantable, and,
on a building at the nations capital. in
excusable.

CHIEF IUSrICR WAIT.

Morrison Renisch Waite, since March,
1874, Chief Justice of the United States,
died shortly after o'clock last Friday
morning. The direct cause of death was
failure of the hearts actor. The con-
tributive causes were a chill on Satur
day. 18th. symptoms Of acute bronchitis
Oh Tuesday and what the doctors call
rircumscribed pneumonia on Wedues-
day. He would have been 70 years oil
age in November. The last act Of Judge
Waite was to assist in promulgating the
opinion affirming the validity Of the Bell
telephone patent, the Monday previous
to his death.
Few men were more prominent in the
law than Chief Justice Waite, and few
have had such long life of usefulness.
He was the seventh Chief Justice OF the
United States, appointed by Gen. Grant,
partly because of his splendid services
before the Tribunal of Arbitration az
Geneva, where with his associates, w.
NJ. Evarts and Caleb Cushing, he OBJ
tanned for the United States an award
OF SIS, 800, 900 in gold. The Chief JUS
tee was born in Lyme, Ct. November
30, 1915. His ancestors came from Eng
land in early colonial times. His father
was Chief Justice of Connecticut's Su
preme Court. and his paternal grand
father was jurist. When II years OF
age the future Chief Justice entered
Yale College and graduated with honor
in the class Of 1887, with such afterwards
distinguished men as William M.Evarts,
Edwards Pierrepont and Professor Ben
iamin Silliman. After being admitted
to the bar he practiced law in Toledo,
was a member of the State Legislature
in 1S47, was a member of the Ohio State
Constitutional Convention and refused
many offers of political preferment.
Justice Waite was not an imposing man
in appearance. He was of MEDIUM
stature, his figure straight and his head
was large, well poised and covered with
hair almost as white as snow. His face
was thoughtful and kindly. HIS nose
was decidedly large, his eyes dark, keen
and piercing, while his heavy chin was
covered with thick, well kept whIskers.
The funeral was held yesterday in
Representatives hall and the remains
were taken to Toledo, o., for burial.
