Vocal Music as q Preventive Of Phthisie.

A suggestive paper by DR.. c. E.
Busey of Lynchburg was lately read
before the Medical Society ofVirginia.
He stated as well-known fact that
those nations which were given to
the cultivation of vocal music were
strong. vigorous races, with broad,
expansive chests. If an hour was
daily devoted in our public schools
to the development OF vocal music,
there would not be the sad spectacle
of the dropping, withered, hollow
chested, round-shouldered children.
There was too great a tendency to
sacrifice physical health upon the al
tar of learning. Vocal music was q
gymnastic exercise OF the lungs, by
development of the lung tissue itself.
The lungs in improved breeds of cat
tie, which naturally took little exer-
else and were domiciled much of the
time, were considerably reduced in
size when compared with those of an
imaIs running at liberty; and so it
was with the human race, which led
inactive lives from civilization.

A Study In Still Life.
From the Indianapolis Journal.

From the Indianapolis Journal.
The camera in the hands ofa photo
grapher has served many uses, but
its value as temperance advocate
has never been fully tested. A few
days since a couple of enthusiastic
photographers, with an instantan-
eous pocket instrument a little longer
than saradine box, appeared at one
of the city hotels and informed the
clerk that they came to photograph
a friend who had been taken violent
ly drunk the day before, and who
was still largely under the influence
of the ardent.
Inquired of as the reason for wish
ing to make a counterfeit present
ment of the vinous individual they
said their object was to reform
him by exhibiting to him, on his next
occasion of sobriety, picture of him.
self taken in an advanced stage OF
whiskey, and that this exhibit, thus
made, would in all probability have
the same effect upon him that the
sight of drunken woman had upon
the Spartan youth teaching him
the need of moderation in his cups.
The hotel people, ut first disinclined
to permit any copying from stil-life
of the character referred to, were in
duced to relent and cooperate in the
proposed reformation, and the expedi-
ton, including reporter who was
taken along to chronicle the success
of a new method, proceeded to hunt
up it's proposed subject. There was
no question of his fitness for that
test when he was found. Like Mar
mion, he had fallen in mid-battle.
One boot had been substracted, but
the other remained, and as tito leave
no doubt as to the means ofhis over
throw he had gone to bed with his
hat on.
1t required but moment to sup
ply the details necessary to make the
picture effective. An American flag
draped after the manner ola winding
sheet, "a few bottles and tumblers peep
ing out thoughts interstices, land the
inscription, owe have given him up
tor gone" on tag pinned to his
collar, told the whole story. The
instrument was leveled and sighted
Snapl and with all instant's opening
of the shutter-valve, the whole scene
was perpetuated for all the time to
come. If the victim does not reform
when he gets his copy ofthatpicture,
there is no hope for him.

The ExecutiOner Always Arrested,

From London Correspondent.
The Spanish telon condemned to
death sits in a chair; behind him is
stout post, to which are affixed two
clasps of iron, which, when joined, en-
circle the neck. Through the post
and back of the neck runs a screw.
When this screw is turned the collar
is frightened, and an iron wedge en-
tiers the neck at the base of the brain,
which dislocates the axis, pierces the
spinal cord and produces instant
death.
As soon as the execution is over
one of the police rushes forward and
seizes the executioner, who is arrested
and taken to prison, where the jur-
gado is still assembled. The execu-
toner is denounced as murderer.
The Judge asks him what he has to
say in answer to such a charge, and
he replies: ut is true chat / have
killed the prisoner, but l deny being
the murderer, for, although l COM
mitted the act charged displaying
his arms with the badge). l did it in
the cause of justice and in pursuance
of the law, all of which was COM
pelled to do by virtue of my Office"
1.-THE accused is innocent and is dis
charged" answers the court, and
then the formula of the Spanish law
is satisfied.

GOODBYE LIB HOwDY.Do,

Say goodbye er howdy-do-
What's the odds betwixt the two?

Best friends first to go away
Grasp of hands you'd ruther hold
Then their weight in solid gold,
Slips their grip while greeting you

Deaths and births, and worst and best.
Tangled their contrariest;
Every jinglin' and weddin' bell
Skeerin' up some funeral knell-
Here's my song and there's your sigh;
Howdy-do, and then goodbye.

Women Not towards.

"Do the passengers who ride

ened asked a Star reporter of the
elevator conductor at the Wash

"Some do and some do not" was
the reply, as the cable-puller turned
to explain to lady in the car that
the trip upward occupied about nine
minutes. "I'll tell YOU" he ex-
planned, turning back to the re-
porter. "The first lady who became
frightened in the monument came
the other day. She was the first

The Magic Tree,

On a certain plantation, which it
will be as well not to locate, there
was a very large, hollow orange-tree
which, according to the St Louis
Post Dispatch, had never borne any
fruit, although it blossomed regular
ly every spring. After poisoning
the blossoms would all gradually dis
appear and a small orifce on the end
of the twig would be all that
was left for the balance of the year.
This went on for a good many
years, until one day the place was
sold to a man from the North, who
determined to cut down the tree and
solve the mystery if possible. He
accordingly had the tree cut down.
and instead of finding solid trunk
be found nothing but large out
side shell of a tree, while the in
side was perfectly hollow and
was occupied by large family
of squirrels and colony of bees.
The bees and squirrels were very
light in color and did not appear to
have any eyes, and the oranges were
elongated instead of round although
very sweet tasting, land otherwise ap-
peared to be excellent fruit. The man
was puzzled to account for the
phenomenon, as there was no open
ing in the tree by which even the bees
could get inside it, but the mystery
was explained by an old colored
man, who had been on the place
many, many years. He told the fol-
lowing story
When the orange-tree was very
small it was found to be growing hol-
low. and after it got to be about q
foot thick the hole near the centre of
the trunk was made larger and a
limb grated into it; the tree then
did well, apparently, but had never
borne any fruit. 1t is thought that
the bees and squirrels had gotten in
to the tree and made it their home,
and when the limb was grated
IN their means of egress were
stopped up and made prisoners. AS
bees are known to be very industri-
GUS the following will readily be be-
lieved:-
The bees would go out to the end
of the twhgs, which were also hollow,
every spring and pull the blossoms
inside, and thus get the honey by
turning the flowers inside out; the
oranges would then grow inside, and
the twigs being small account for the
elongated shape OF the fruit; the bees
would live on honey and the squirrels
on the fruit, and thus colony of
each was established, and lived in
comfort and plenty on the inside of
the orange-tree.

Perils Of Society Girls.

Gail Hamilton.
"What are society's perils for
young women?" just asked a $50
ciety girl, and she said: "In Wash
ington, lack ofmen. For girls this
is true. There are plenty of men in
Washington. Perhaps in no city in
the United States is society worth SO
much while as in Washington, be-
cause so many distinguished men
gather there. In no party do you
sail to see groups any one member OF
which would be worth making a feast
for in other cities. But the distin-
guished men of Washington scarcely
come at an earlier period than their
early middle life. They arein Wash

won more or less eminence. They

prea ching sermons to young women
and probably making apoor fist oft,
exploring mines, earning money,
winning fame. BY and by they will
come to Washington, but in that
day our girls will not be girls any
more. A few OF these young men are
in Washington, but very few, hardly
enough to go around. Consequently,

Five Ways to Stop . Cold,

1. Battle the feet in hot water and
drink pint of hot lemonade. Then
sponge with salt water and remain
in q warm room. 2. Battle the face
in very hot watar every five minutes
for an hour. 8. Snuff up the nos
trils hot salt water every three hours.
4. Inhale ammonia or menthol. 5.
Take four hours active exercise in
the open air. A ten grain dose Of
quinine will usually break up cold
in the beginning. Anything that
will set the blood actively in circula-
ton will do it, whether it be drugs or
the use of q bucksaw. But better
than all, if your cold is inveterate or
serious, consult your family physician,
and at once.

THE FARM.



Fowls require a constant supply of
water during the winter season.
Without it there will be lack of
eggs.
One of the best absorbents of ami
NAL odors around the stable is dry
dirt. Keep a supply on hand under
cover ready for use when needed.
The temperature of water for horses
is not so much of an object as the
purity of it. While it is best to have
the water cool, it is more important
to have it free from all impurities.
Sheep need good shelter to keep
them dry. A close, unventilated
stable is not good for them as more
open one, provided it protects them
from rain or snow.
Shotes will cost considerable more
no doubt, but to empty ones crib OF
corn and have not q pound of pork
to show for it is the highest sort of
folly practiced upon the farm.

work that in winter at least, you are
sure to run afoul OF that rocky ques-
ton, "Why doesn't the butter come"'
1t is sufficient to say here that one
reason why it doesn't come lis because
the temperature of the cream is not
