HEALTH HINTS,
One of the Best of HYGIENE Habits is to
Keep the Mouth Shut.

heep the mouth smut.
Some of us who have attained to the
dignity of middle-age may remember the
time when George Catlin, the famous
American traveller, startled nervous people
by solemnly warning them of the dangers
of opening their mouths. The memory of
the eccentric little book, with its odd pic
torial devices, entitled "The Breath of
Life" wherein these views were pro-
pounded, is just now revived by DR.. Alb
bolts in a new monthly magazine devoted
to the subject of health. DIR. Abbotts was
a personal friend of Catlin, and, more
over, assisted him in writing the book
referred to. Catlin it was who said "If
| were to endeavor to bequeath to posterity
the most important motto which the hui
man language can convey, it would be in
three words: Shut your mouth" Since
then this advice has become one of the
common sayings of popular physiology
Cathn spent great part OF his life
among the North American Indians, So
Journedwith them, practiced their customs
and mode of life, until he became as one
of themselves. He went among them in
the hope Of improving his health by travel
for he was suffering from consumption
Having observed that this inSidious dis
ease and indeed all chest and throat affec-
tions were very rare with the Indian tribes,
he inquired into the cause, got useful
wrinkle" as folks say, profited by it, and
was troubled by weak lungs no more. So
careful, we are told, are the Indians in
this respect that the women are very par
ticular in intoxicating among their children
from infancy the habit of keeping the
mouth shut. How many civilized white
father would at times be glad to "incul-
cate" in the same direction. After lower
ing the baby from the breast they care
fully press its lips together before it falls
asleep, and we are told that the habit thus
early acquired becomes permanent.
One OF the most eminent of the popular
expounders Of scientific truth in the
present day is credited with saying: "Man
is the only creature that can breathe
through his mouth, and he is a fool when
he does So" DIR. Abbotts attributes to our
ignorance and neglect of this truth great
proportion of our cases of sore throat,
cough, bronchitis and chest disease. Carries
of the teeth is also one of the evil conse-
quences, while the injury done to the
habitual expressions of the features is
sufficiently recognized by our contempt
nous term "a gaping idiot" and the French
gobe mouche or ''fy-swallower." There
seems little reason to doubt, says the Lon
don Necs, that chest and throat diseases,
which often spring from the inhalation of
irritating dust, as well as from damp and
cold, would be much less frequent were
Catlin's advice universally acted upon and
civilized mankind learned to breathe
through the nostrils alone-Rochester

track, Overturned, and he was scalded to
Heath by the very means he had resorted
10 to save life. He fingered few hours,
but a glance disclosed that there was no
hope, and there was no remedy to cure.
Violent scalds or burns are in their nature
incurable, but there are thousands of minor
casualties OF the kind occurring hourly in
every house or large mandatory for
which there is remedy, soothing, sure
and prompt, of which the following are
proofs: Mr.. Michael Higgins, Belcher q
Taylor Agricultural Tool Co., Chicopee
Falls, Mass, Nay 4, 1887, writes: 'This
company has used st. Jacobs Oil for years
for their men for burns, cuts and bruises,
and we know of nothing that compares
with it." Mr. G. Oehrle, Lawrence, Kan,
April Is. 1887, writes: "a lamp exploded
in my Office, and in trying to put it out,
cut and burned my hand very badly with
glass. ST. Jacobs Oil cured me-" Mr.. ].
w. Nevis, % Rock street, Lowell, Mass,
says: Fer burns and chapped hands
know st. Jacobs Oil to be excellent" Mr..
A. Schultz, Cleveland, Ohio, February S,
1887: Eve consider st. Jacobs Oil very
valuable remedy for burns" Mr.. A Mas
key, Wexford, Pa, writes February Z, 1887:
Il have used st. Jacobs Oil for years, and
know it to be the best for burns" Mr.. j.
w. Ames, Fairmont, Neb., February Z,
1887, says: "We find it just as efficacious
for burns as for bites" Mr.. W. A. Schroe-
der, Gilbertville, Ia, February II, 1887: II
have used it for burns, and can say it does
its work as recommended" Of course, in
violent burns and scalds, and the treatment
Of raw surfaces, the directions accompany
ing each bottle must be strictly followed.
And if followed strictly, the soothing and
curing influence of the remedy is beyond
comparison. The cure is perfect, and a
clear. smooth surface is the result.

IN A SULTAN'S PALACE.
The Daily Lie of the Inmates Regulated
nv the Hours of Praver

The Daily Life of the Inmates Regulated
by the Hours of Prayer.
The windows and doors of the Arabian
houses stand open all the year round, and
are only closed during the rainy season,
says the New York Journal. Life in the
palace of the Sultan of Zanzibar was regu-
lated by the hours of prayer, which take
place FIVE times day; including ablution
and changing of dress, they occupy three
hours. Persons of rank are aroused be-
tween and $50 o'clock A. NJ. for the first
prayer, but the majority sleep until s.
The women of the harem are gently reused
by a slave, who begins to knead them all
over to quicken the flow of the blood In
the meantime the bath has been filled with
fresh spring water, and the garments, on
which jasmine and orange blossoms have
been strewn the night before, are fumi-
gated with amber and musk before they
are put on An hour is expended on the
toilet, and then everyone has to wish the
father of the house good morning before
sitting down to breakfast. After that the
men get ready for the audience chamber,
and the women go to the windows to
watch for stealthy glance from some pass
ing noble until the old slaves who guard
them call them away.
At the hour for second prayer is an
nounced, and then the lithe-limbed daugh-
tiers of the harem are glad to take an

sacred notices plated in them, or TO gos-
sip over their shernet and cakes.

Woman in the Orient.

In travelling eastward through Europe
and Asia, overland via Vienna, Belgrade,
Adrianople and the Bosphorus, one begins
to see scattering specimens of the "myste
rious vailed lady" of the Orient, in the
| towns of Southern Seryia These are the
women of Turkish families who have found
it to their interest to remain north of the
Balkans after the doubtful blessings of OF
toman government had departed to the
south. At Sofia ana other Bulgarian
cities one sees more in proportion, in Rou-
melian cities still more, and then reaching
Turkey proper, the ladies of the ydskmdk
become the rule, and unvailed faces the ex-
ception.
Constantinople is essentially cosmopoli-
tan; its population can scarcely be called
Turkish, for were a race census taken, the
Osmanli would probably be found to be in
the minority. On through Asiatic Turkey,
through Anatolia, Sivas and koordistan is
a mixed population of Turks, Koords and
Armenians. In the cities the Turkish
ladies wear yashmaks, but the Armenians
are often in the majority, and so there is
small lack of female faces abroad, and no
lack at all of female forms. In the smaller
towns exclusively Turkish, all the women
wear face-vails, but the simple villagers OF
all religions go uncovered.
Much the same state of affairs prevails
in Persia. The Persian city ladies go
abroad closely vailed, but the Armenian
and Guebre females walk the streets with
but mere suggestion of concealment. In
the villages the ladies of the Khan's house
hold ape their city sisters but the wives
and daughters of the ryots affect no face
covering whatever, and cluster about the
Ferenghi traveller without reserve. Even
in Holy Meshed, where Shah fanaticism
is supposed to come to fierce focus, and
the whole population are enthusiastic Mo
hammedans, women throng the streets, and
| often caught passing glimpse Of an in
quisitive female face revealed by a par
TALLY uplifted vail. So, along all that Mo
hammedan trail from the Bosphorus to
the Mecca of Persia saw plenty of women.

A Bloody Array

Is often the result of bad blood" in a fam
lily or community. but nowhere is bad blood
more destructive of happiness and health
than in the human system. When the life
current is foul and sluggish with impuri-
ties. and is slowly distributing its poisons
to every part of the body, the peril to
health, and life even, is imminent. Early
symptoms axe dull and drowsy feelings,
severe headaches, coated tongue, poor appe-
tite indigestion and general lassitude. De-
lay in treatment may entail the most seri-
Gus consequences. Don't let disease get a
strong hold on your constitution. but treat
yourself by using DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery, and be restored to the bless
ings of health. All druggists.

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
A BIT OF ADVICE.

A BIT OF ADVICE.
There are some boys and girls
Who have bad way
OF putting off work
That they should do to-day.
:" Let it go till tomorrow"
They carelessly say:
Or, Twill do by-and-by,
When we're through with our play"
But oh, boys, and oh, girls,
And oh, girls and oh, boys,
As sure as young folks
Make great deal of noise.
:" Let it go till tomorrow"
And you learn, to your sorrow,
It's ten chances to one
If it ever gets done;
And :" by-and-by" leads,
In spite of endeavor,
To turn from the track,
Almost always to neuer.
Do at once, when you can,
What your hands find to do
Is the bit of advice
An old girl gives to you;
Then, with hearts light and free.
You can pleasure pursue,
And the sun will seem brighter,
The heavens more blue.
For oh, girls, and oh, boys,
And oh, boys, and oh, girls,
As sure as from oysters
Come beautiful pearls,
" Let it go till tomorrow"
And you'll learn to your sorrow,
'Tis ten chances to one
If it ever gets done;
And by-and-by" leads,
In spite of endeavor.
To turn from the track,
Almost always, to nerer.

thirty yards distant from the next house on

Of the window and buried itself IN MIS-:
Moores head at the cage OF
the left ear The next second sharp
report was heard. Her husband ana
family rushed into the room, but 1t was
only when they observed the bullet hoiee
through the window pane that they realized
what had happened. Dr. Taylor was sent
for and responded promptly, He probed
the wound, which appeared TO be of the
diameter of lead pencil, to the depth OF
two inches and extracted two pieces OF lead.
He could not tell from these the calibre OF
the bullet or whether it had all been re-
moved. In the doctors opinion the wound
is very dangerous one, and the patient
fate largely depends upon the degree OF IN
fiammation which ensues. There seems TO
be no doubt that the shot was fired from
rear window of the Sheppard house. The
Shephards deny strongly any knowledg of
the occurrence, protesting that no shot was
fired from their house. The circumstantlal
evidence, however, is strong.

LIQUOR King in Atlanta.

From the Athens (Gd.) Banner Wdtchmdn
From aagentleman who has just returned
from Atlanta, we learn that there is regu-
lar reign of drunkenness in that city, and
that king alcohol is holding high carnival.
Our informant states that shortlyafter enl-
barking from the train he began 10 meet
drunken men, and the farther he penetra-
ted, the thicker they became. He said that
it appeared to him that % per cent of the
male population Of the city were under the
infCence of liquor. There was al indis-
crlminate mass of both whites ana
blacks, and an overwhelming majority OF
the latter race were filed to the throttle
with enthusiasm and liquor. The good
people of Atlanta stand aghast at the
spectacle, and some of the strongest liquor
advocates now assert that If the election
were TO be held over again that they would
champion the cause Of prohibition, for they
did not dream that the voting back OF
liquor would bring about such state OF
affairs. There is a regular throng of men
around the barrooms, and you often
have to wait an hour or more
to be served At the Kimball bar
only whites are allowed, but at the
Markham sort Of social equality schedule
Sc Ems TO be run, as white and black seem to
mingle freely there. Under the ordinances
of Atlanta no liquor is allowed to be sold
ON Christmas or any other public holiday
observed by the State, city or general gov
ernmeut, but on Monday last, in spite Of
the fact that the barroOms were closed, the
number of drunken men seemed an
diminished. The newspapers of Atlanta
are suppreSsing a great many of the facts,
and only publish wi at they are obliged to.

The Romance of a Mexican.

From The Athens (Gd.l Banner Waterman.
The Mexican who entertained quite
crowd with his wonderful horsemanship at
the fair grounds yesterday afternoon, has
quite romantic history, an one of consider
able interest as illustrating Mexican life and
customs. AT the time of his leaving his
native State of Tamiloupas, Mexico, he was
a peona or Mexican slave. His slavery was
the result of debt, it being the law of that
State for a debtor to become a slave
until he paid off his Indebtedness
Filippe owed his master some
$3.50, and was working for some
81 per month and as he had 10 live out of
this, but Il modicum could be applied to the
reduction of the price of his freedom. Years
would doubtless have passed ere he became
free had it not been for fortunate meeting
with Mr.. Banner, in whose service he is at
present Becoming attached at first sight
to Mr.. b. 5 striking face he asked him to
take him across the border, knowing that
once over he would press "A soil where
slavery and serfdom we,s unknown. Mr..
b. told him to follow a drove of horses
he was carrying back, which he did. On
reaching the river he swan horse across
Just behind the canoe and in few moments
landed a free man on the free soil OF the
United State. After some time Mr. Ban
ner sent the amount due on Filippe, so he is
really and legally free man. Some time
ago he revisited his old home, but nothing
can attract him from hi, friend and de
liverer He is a valuable man with stock,
being perfect master of horsemausnip. and
thoroughly acquainted with their habits, etc.
