The exercise which | have found Of
most value IN developing the lungs may
De described as follows. Standing erect
as possible, with shoulders thrown back
and chest forward, the arms hanging
close 10 the body: the head UP, with lips
firmly closed. Inhalation is to be taken
as slowly rs may be. at the same time
the extended arms are 10 be gradually
raised. the lack Of the hands upward,
until they closely approach each other
above the head. The novcmcut should
be 80 regulat, that the arms viii be cx-
tended directly over the head at the mo-
mcnt the lungs are completely filled.
The position should ,c maintained from
five TO thirty seconds before the reverse
process is began. As the arms arc grad
ually lowered the Jreath IS eXhaled
slowly. so tho lungs shall he as nearly
freed from breath as possible at the time
the arms again reach tie first position at
the side.
By these movements the greatest cx-
pansion possible is reached, for upon IN
spiration the weight Of the shoulders and
pectsal muscles are lifted, allowing the
thorax to expand fully, while upon ex-
halation in lowering the arms we utilize
the additional force Of this pressure upon
the upper thorax TO render expiration as
complete as possible. These deep rcspir-
atoms should berepeatel livcor six times,
and the exercise gone through with five
or six times q day. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to remark that the clothing must in
no way interfere with the exercise. In
some cases this exercise is more advan-
tageous when taken lying fiat on the
back. instead OF standing. In this position
the inspiratory muscles become rapidly
strengthened by opposing the additional
pressure cxerted by the abdominal organs
against Tie expanding lungs. And, on
the other hand, expiration is more per-
feet and full on account CT the pressure
of these organs. This is IN exercise now
advocated by several leading vocal teach
ers of Europe.-John L. Davis, NJ. ID.

= IL. MAYO A co.

The exhibit of this well-known firm
at the Exposition has attracted the a,ten-
ton due to beautiful work of art so
elegant and complete is the pictures que
effect OF the mastery handicrsft displayed
in the designs that constitute the group.
As Richmond is known all over the
world by one of her greatest interests
such triumph of skill in the manufac.
ture of tobacco is proper Offering OF
one Of our most public spirited citizens
to the reputation of the State as showing
what Virginia can do.
Nothing in the whole Exposition has
attracted such general and constant al
teniion, study and admiration, for the
longer one contemplate the collection,
the more it exctes interest.
The main design represents fort
modelled after old Fort Powhatan, on the
homestead OF the Mayo family situated
short distance below Richmond. IL is
octsgonal in shape, showing guns in EN-
brasures, with cannon en- barbette, sur
mounting the enfilading towers on each
side. II is a production in tobacco Of a
real miniature fortress, and the most
beautiful part of it all is that
everything is made of pure Virginia
tobacco of various colOrs and de
grees. and arranged 50 srtisiically as TO
attract the admiration Of every visitor,
the colors and the work making II like
picture so exquisite and harmonious is
whole work.
On the right corner facing the fort is a
large revolving globe, made entirely OF
tobacco, and three feet in diameter,
mounted, drawn TO the scale and accurate
by outline, giving the names of oceans
aud countries of the whole world. a
prominent teacher in one of the city
schools offered TO take this globe after
the exhibition is over and teach the
scholars by it, The globe reyolyes on a
pedestal also made OF tobacco, and al
tracts great attention. In the center
stands the Monitor and the old Merri-
mac, but there is 10 need to tell sur
rounding visitors that they are not now
In action. A large 'ull-Tlgged ship of
war stands in the opposite corner, resting
upon six-Clawed table, topped with a
five pointed star. and is naval clipper
built steamship made entirely of the
weed" Ii really is hard TO believe, but
il is a fact tina. all this work is made
tobacco.
II may be interesting TO the world be-
yond Richmond to know that Nessrs. =.

EOIR RIKNING DAYS.

The State of Virginia has gotten her
destiny concentrated into focus with
out seeming to know ii, for the months
and weeks and days have glided by and
the quiet reigning all along the party lines
leaves US only TO tbiuk that the Canvass
of education" as it has been called, may
possibly bring US big surprises in the
Western States, and also suddenly wake
us up at home with a surprise in the other
direction, unless the most active efforts
are made to bring out the Democratic
vote all over the State.
II the hopes Of the enthusiastic Demo.
cratic leaders are fulfilled we shall carry
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and California;
but even then Virginia would be sick if
the South were shaken by defeat right at
the gate of the citadel. But in case Vir-
ginia were lost and caused the defeat OF
Cleveland the result would te so grave a
disaster as to hand our State over sgain
to the worst enemies she ever had. Enc
mics embittered by the just con.emp, of
their own people; whose home they have
tried to dishonor. We believe that if the
people Of Virginia could know
what the election OF Ben Har-
rison would mean that Cleveland
would be Overwhelmingly elected as far
as the vote of this state could do ii. 1t
Is yet time to telegraph 10 every tele-
graph station. to every precinct leader to
notify the people Of the danger. la 1888,
when the issue was fraught with great
danger, but not more than now, the cir
cular, sent out at the last moment, con.
tribu,ed greatly TO the victory Let the
same stroke be made now, and we shall
be certain Of victory. Victory means
self-preseryation.

A Shicagoan at Lunch.

That a Chicagoan cislikes to lose any
time is patent to an observer in any OF
the down town restaurants during the
Don hour. Almost every second cater
has a paper propped up before him
against II glass or u catsup Uottle, and
while he deyours his lunch he also de-
yours the news at the same time. When
he finishes one side Of lis paper he lays
down his knife and fork long enough to
expose fresh side to his view, when lie
resumes the double occupation Of reading
and eating. The average Chicago busi-
ness man can consume fry without
missing news item, and can keep
posted on the affairs cs the day without
overlooking an oyster Chicago Herald.

ANOTHER POINT.

The high protective tariff, as is too
well knowh TO need proof, puts manu-
featuring In the hands OF the few great
capitalists, whereas the Democratic policy
of free raw materials would allow
twenty to one more manufacturers
than there are pow, and hence the
distribution Of wealth that is made
would cause twenty people to spend
the profit instead of one, and that
would be twenty times the number OF
families who would bring the products of
various arts and mechanical industries
from millinery and crockery to carpets,
furniture and horses.
Besides this, the twenty manufacturers
would cause competition in labor instead
Of enslaving ii to the will Of the one great
capitalist, as is done now.

All over the North the issue has been
well established, and the Republicans
cannot get up a side-show or play any
trick that viii get them out OF facing the
music. And the band is playing the tone
Of High taxes or Low taxes Protec-
ton of monopoly or protection OF the
masses of the people; war taxes in time
Of peace paid on the necessary articles OF
life; tariff TO support the Government
or tariff to pamper monopoly; to open
the markets of the world TO our people or
close them up and make us buy only
what the protected Carnegies and such
choose to make; prices for labor con-
trolled by the few monopolists or wages
regulated by fair competition
A few big manufacturers or a great
many manufacturers monopoly or com
petition?
These are the questions, and the people
ought to understand them.
How long did Carnegie, boss protec-
ZIONIST, starve 5000 hands?
Just so long as it suited him TO stop
his works and sell his supply. What
remedy did they have?
None. Because the law. as II is, al
lows a monopoly of the business in tie
hands of a few people, and the other
people are forced to buy on the manipu-
lated home market

know that apart from party doctrine ;ae
South is Democratic, because the RepuD'
lican party is radical and oppressive TO
the poin, of "palandzipg" the Southern
States, as 1t used 10 be called. II is often
wondered, therefore, how any decent or

own people

The report also says that the Hors-
ford's contains the nutritious phosphates,
while all the cream tartar powders con-
tain tartrate of potassium and sodium,
and the alum powders contain hydrate
Of alumina, sodium sulphate, and
ammonium sulphate.
The idea of introducing the. phos-
pilates into the food by means of bak-
ing powder was conceived by Prof.
Horsford, formerly Professor of Chem
istry in Harvard University, several
years ago, and ifreport be true, he has
not only been remarkably successful ii
making such product, but also in sell.
ing it. 1t is well known that the phos-
pilates constitute practically the only
nutritious portion of. the wheat grain,
actual experience having shown that
wheat which had been deprived of its
phosphates would not sustain life. It is
also well known that in the process of
boiling our fine wheat -four nearly alfof
the phosphates are lost in the bran, and
that, therefore, fine wheat -four alone
will not sustain life. Prof. Horsford's
idea was to restore these lost phosphates
in the form of a baking powder. The
above report shows that he has not only
done this, but has also produced a
powder that is the strongest in the
market.

CUT CORN STALKS MUST BE
MOISTENED FOR FEED.

A writer in the Ratrog New Yorker saws
that great deal of corn fodder will be
run through the stalk-cutters this winter
as a measure of economy. I have tried
this practice three winters and can in
form Rural readers that unless these
cut stalks are moistened before being
fed there will be trouble. Whenever
fed dry stalks found that before spring
the gums and jaws Of the stock Were
made so sore by the sharp, serrated
edges of the stalks as to become ulcer
ated. Of course, food could not be
properly masticated with the animals
jaws in this condition, and the result
was a. very considerable and Improbable
loss of flesh. Meal was freely given
but no gain of flesh was made until
after the spring growth of pasture had
commenced. I have safely fed cut
stalks several winters, when wet enough
to soften the outside covering of the
stalk, but on no account would I at
tempt to feed cut stalks unless softened
in some way. There is homely old
adage that proof of the pudding is in the
taste of it. Three winters taste of the
pudding proved it very bad indeed. 1t
is much better to practice what may ap-
pear a wasteful method of feeding stalks
by throwing them in outdoor racks or
feed-boxes and allowing the uneaten
portions to be trodden under foot as
absorbents ! of the barnyard liquids.
They are not thus lost by any means,
for the saving of manure will offset the
loss Of stalks.
