Singing for Lung. Disease.

At the present era, when ply sieal eul-
ture is q part Of the curriculum Of our
most intellectual schools, and is so gener-
ally regarded as necessary element to-
ward supplying aud maintaining the
sound body for the sound mind, it's
worth while 10 consider a recent Estate
ment Of eminent physicians that the
mere exercise Of singing IS great help
toward the prevention, cure or alienation
Of lung diseases In the incipient state Of
such diseases It Is even said 70 be a pow
erful aid 70 a cure It Is, indeed, some
what curious that the medical fraternity
have not explored the theory Of lung
exercises by singing mOte fully hereto
fore than they are noW doisg. flr the ac-
tiOn Of calistheltics IN strengthening
muscular tissues have fJr years been =
universal practice, although a. a mstter

number Of muscles that can hardly be
suspected Of action in connection with

Gloves OF Human Skin.

@Gloves which are cold as kid are Of

L Fardyl, the Greek physicirn, yester-
day. The skin on the breast, eontin-

may be used in the making OF gloves.
When people buy gloves they never stop

they are made. The shopkeeDer himself

has no means Of zscertzieing Nhether

Then the doctor drew from the drawer

Medieval Poison Rings.

In Italy the poison ring was carried 10
the perfection OF malicious imagining.

ally resorted to as means Of putting an
enemy out Of the way A hollow point
in the bezel, worked by spring, com
municated with the receptacle behinti,
for the poison, in such s way that its
viIlainous wearer could, in giving his
adversary a hearty grasp Of the hand,
infict mortal scratch The point was
fashioned 10 look like an ornament. So
deadly and enduring was ths poison con-
tanned in these rings that some twenty
years ago death was nearly occasioned
bv handling one unwi,tingiy. i curio
faneier was turning over gems in a shop
in Paris, when he fell fAinting and was
with difficulty restored It was found
that be had been wounded by POISON
ring.
This instrument Of destruction was
also worn in peFilons times, in order that
the owner might commit suicide ratncr
than fall into an enemy's hands An
other kind was furnished At the back with
a slide, which could be slipped back By
the vearer. who would drop the poison
into the wine he offered to a hated guest
This kind was affected by Cesar Borgia,
whose own signet ring bore an inserip-
ton little suited to his chaFacter-" Fais
ee que dois, avien que pourra- Another
form Of poison ring was the one which
had for its bezel the key 70 5 casket-
The wearer would hand his ring in
confidential manner to visitor and de-
sire him to hand him some article from
his jewel box. The key, in being turned
in a somewhat stiff lock, would give the
Gnvary COMPLIANT prick, which hzd

That the method of plo~ing vii sooz
be revoiutionized 10 great extent On
the prairies Of the West there can no
longer be any doubt. The farmers are
already elamoring for a steam plow that
viii be simple and practical. and thsy
are certain to gef it sooner or later. Ii
this age Of invention and improvement
il i said that whenever sFsnt becomeS
general. there always springs np some
thing 10 supply the Necessity. Every
mechanical Implement now in use. ealcu-
lated to cheaper proiaction and avs
manual labor, has arisen from the Efgent
needs Of mankind, and hence the steam
plow. suitable TO the farmer Of q isw
hundred scres, will sooner OF later be an
assured fact.
The self-binder did not make It's ap-
pearznce in the harvest field until The
Western prairies furnished more srain
than could possibly be harvested BY hand
to a profit, and the steam thrasher soon
followed because the same want was the
parent Of both The ame may be said
Of the broadcast seeder. the press drill,
and the gang plos. The Old-styie gram
cradle that oer fathers used to swing,
With their wide scythes and i've crooked
wooden fingers or Prongs, is a thing Of
the almost forgotten past. AID has been
laid aside forever, with the old-iAshioned
wooden mouldboard plows- In agrieul-
ture, as in everything else, new methods
have been iDauguFated, and in every step
Of progress the object has been to save
labor and make farming easier and more
lucrative.
There is really little in the way Of sue

ing and narrowing, nov that there are
50 few stump fields, and a newspaper
called Sores and H1rfssars, printed in
St. Louis, and principally devoted to the
interests its title implies. thinks that the
wonder Is that some inventor, who would

come forward with a small and simple
steam plow that will fully serve the pur-
pose.-Scie1stiic AmTican.

A CIvLi servIoe ExamInatIOn.


There are men in Washington who
reach the boraerland Of insanity every
three months. They are the examiners
Of the Civil Service Commission. By
nightfall Of day on which an exsmina-
ton takes place, you conld not get one
Of them to swear to his own sanity.
The last examination was probably the
most trying since the Commission was
established, as there we're over 500 appli-
cants in the various rooms. Although
everything is printed as plain as a sign
board, the examiners are harried by
foolish questions at every turn.
They first announce as they prepare to
pronounce the words in spelling;
Il shall give the word and then its
definition You are TO write the word,
but not the definition"
They say this three times, the last
time with lev distinctness-
"Did you say u write the definition
and not the word - comes from erner
Of the room, in mans voice, tie
second word Is pronounced.
The words 'cymbalv AMI Asymb
are pronounced with their respective de
finition.
-Shsil we write Symbol the sign, or
the musical instrument" again in a
mans voice.
This sort of thing keeps up until the
examiner, maddeaed, refuses to answer
any further questions.
More trouble arises from the necessary
red tape, however, than from anything
else- Two number are given 70 each
appIicaat-one, the application number,
the other, the examination number.
One middle-aged man at the last exam
ination insisted on writing his applica-
ton numbers right in the face Of the
warning which said: This space for
examination number When his at
tention was c.lllde to It he replied in an
injured tone;
I've had that number in my mind
two weeks. day and night. and If I don't
put it down there, I'd Just a. like as not
forget IL
This same man had a rubicund nose
and what might be called a brasa man
ner. He was cowed, however, as paper
after paper was handed to him. As be

Malaria

Literally means bad air Poisonous germs
arising from low, marshy land, or from
decsying vegetable matter, are breathed
into the lungs, taken up by the blood,
and unless the vital fluid is puried By
the use Of good medicine ike Hoods
sarsaparilIa, the unf5rtunate victim IS
soon cyerpowered. Even in the more
advanced cases, where the terrible fever
prevails, this successful medicine has e.
fected remarkable cures Those who are
exposed to malarial OF other poisons
should keep the blood pure by taking
