Breathing.

Beauty and health are closely related and hy-
giene is the mother of both, although the word IS
terrible to many who have been the victims of a
hygienic regime which made life barren of comfort
and joy. Perhaps the best way to establish the
most healthful conditions is to talk but little about
them. The majority of persons who regulate their
lives by the grimmest rules are frequently the sick
lest and sallowest of mortals

Lost Women.

That depraved, immoral women, laugh deep
and long at the sentimental gush that is periodical
ly INDUCED in at their expense l. for one re-
fuse to believe.
The little have seen of the world and know
of the history of mankind teaches me that man
sunk below his natural level may affect to despise
the height where he has walked, but woman fallen
fallen from her fair estate, looks ever back to it
with longing eyes. She regrets, admits her fault,
and is glad that there are women so much better
and more fortunate than she. Her heart bounds
with hope at every voice that brings back to her
spotless past. And, my friends, were this not
true it must have occurred to you what comment
airy upon our civilization are these lost women and
the attitude of society toward them.
If little child strays from the home inclosure
the neighbors rush over with words of sympathy
and the whole community is on the alert to find the
wanderer and restore it to it's mothers clingng
arms. When it is found, what rejocings fill the
air; glad shouts and hearty congratulations. The
soiled shoes and stockings are removed from the
poor tired feet, and there is no lack of kisses for
the tear-stained face But, OH the pity of it.
Let the girl be grown to womanhood let her be
led from home by the scourge of want, or it may
be by the light of love her footsteps stray far off
into the forbidden paths sin-what happens then?
DO Christian men and women 60 in quest of her?
How many friends stretch forth tender hands to
save her? Alas they are few. At the first false
step she is denounced as lost; lost, lost echo
friends and society, and all relatives except the
mother dsown her. Mother never forgets never.
story is told (and it was this story that led me
to write this artcle,) of mother who sent her
daguerreo-type to midnight in Lon
don, hoping that her abandoned daughter might
see it and repent. The picture was passed around
in several meetings until at last it met the eye for
which it was intended, and the guilty girl broke
into tears and set out at once for the home of her
childhood, My friends, at the last day when God
shall judge the world will not these lost ones be
required at our hands? ADAM DEAN.

WHERE IS MY WANDERING GIRL.

Oh, where is my wandering girl tonight?
The girl that prayed might guide Alright;
The girl that in all her helpless years.
l loved and guarded with prayers and tears?
She hath wandered far from her home away
And the nights are long, and drear the day.
And the struggle with sin is fierce and long,
And low and sweet is the tempter's song.
remember her now as she knelt at my knee,
Or played and prattled in childish glee;
Oh, friends, there is naught in this world know,
That can equal the weight of mothers woe,
Go bring me my child, whether living or dead,
Let me fondle once more the dear, sunny head
Let me take to my breast the child that was mine,
Ere her girhood was wrecked by the hooking wine.
Come back, errng child to fond mothers heart
Come back, now, and wander no longer apart;
For it matters but little how far you may roam,
Christ and your mother will welcome you home.
No matter how deep or how dark be your sin,
Christ died for sinner, and pardon you'll win
Then come to the Savior, who's able to save,
Ere hope shall end in nameless grave.
Come! for your Savior is calling today;
Come, for your sins shall be all washed away;
Gomez for it matters not how far you roam,
Christ and your mother will welcome you home.

Swallowed a Live Fish.

While q dance was at its zenith of
pleasure at the residence Of Mr.. Claw
son, a bucket of water was drawn from
the well and brought in which contained
sucker fish about five inches long. The
fish had been placed in the well by the
children. The appearance Of the sucker
in the drinking water caused comment
by the company, during which one of
the young yeomanry lowed he could
swaller the reptile fer fun er money"
This observation occasioned no little
bantering and bullyragging, until finally
he was told that he would be given 81 if
he would throw it under his collar.
The boaster said he would go him;
and, taking the fish by the tail, he laid
back his head, spread his potato trap
from pole to pole, and let her go, Gal
lagher. The finny explorer shot down
the yawning gullet like well CREASED
toboggan, its extended fins raking the
sides with sort of ripping sound as of
laceration. and sickening to hear The
feat accomplished, the swallower unbut-
toned his shirt collar, gave himself a
fiirt and shake, and proclaimed in loud
voice that he could "swaller live dog
with his tail curled over his back, catch
as catch can, and no limit to size, for
S." But he got well away with his
bluff Gf bluff it was), for no one doubted
his ability to do SO: and this, coupled
with the fear that the passage of dog
might imperil his diaphragm, brought
the side show diversion to a close, and
the dance went on with renewed joy
until the break of day.-Idaho Demo

Early Balloon Ascents,

The following, taken out of an old
book, says writer in The Leeds Mer-
curry, will give an idea how the early
balloons were inflated, and will show,
also, that Baldwin's decent in a para
chute is an old invention: Son Sept. 81,
1902, II. Garnerin filled his balloon with
hydrogen gas at st. Georges Parade,
North Audley street. The gas was made
from diluted sulphuric acid, together
with quantity of iron filings, placed in
thirty-three casks to generate, and by
communication with three larger casks
or receivers, and then by tubes to the
balloon. At 6 o'clock the balloon rose
with its long appendage of the parachute,

of thousands Of spectators We're fixed in
establishment and admiration at the gal
liant adventlrer. For eight minutes the
balloon continued to ascend till it ar
rived at such an immense height as to
be scarcely visible. When Garnerin cut
away from the balloon the parachute did
not expand Immediately. 1t fell with
great velocity for short space Of time,
when it opened, and the descent became
gradual, but attended with a remarkable
oscillation like a pendulum of clock.
These vibrations became less as the
ground was neared. The balloonist de.

Words Welded to Sc ac.

Mr.. Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan
are understood to "get on" with one an.
other very pleasantly. but, generally
speaking, there is no more vehement ami
mostly than is engendered between the
man who writes the song and the man
who sets it to music. Each of them
calls it his song and ascribes it's popu.
larity solely to'his part in it's production.
But it is certainly the fact that not even
Lord Tennyson's verse is half SO valu-
able in current coin as ballad of the
music hall that has caught the ear of the
public. 1t is not until music is "wedded
to immortal verse" that verse, in most
cases, becomes immortal, or at least
fetches any extraordinary price in the
market. Only the other day the dam
ages claimed for singing ditty of which
somebody held the copyright were nc
less than e700. What poet ever received
the tenth of such sum for the words
themselves? What is very curious and
shows how we stick to old saws, "thor.
oughly worn out, the souls of them
fumed forth, the hearts of them torn
out" is that we still use the term. sold
for song" as an expression for cheap.

it he read to Frank Drobst, the clerk Of

About Horses Feet.

Perhaps the weakest point in our
grand breed of cart horses is their feet,
particularly if we include their coronets,
which are apt to be afflicted with side
bones and ring bones, says The Saturday
Review. In paved cities and over stony
roads good feet are Of the most impor-
lance, yet there are men of no little ex-
perience who are of opinion that the feet
of thoroughbred horse will generally
bear more battering upon hard and
rough surfaces than those of draught
horse. With regard to their heels and
legs it may not be generally known that,
while Englishmen like to see them well
covered with long, wavy hair, the con-
trary taste prevails in many parts Of
America, where the sudden and severe
frosts are apt to freeze a superabundance
of wet hair into a solid mass 1t may
be worth mentioning that the monks at
the Hospice of St. Bernard prefer the
smooth coated dogs to the rough for pre-
cisely the same reason, although English
dog fanciers are fondest Of the rough
coated St. Bernards.
