How TO AVOID PNEUMoNIA-The best
possible cure for pneumonia is the ounce Of
prevention. Nasal distractions and en-
larged tonsils should rsceive immediate at-
tention and radical treatment when neces-
sary. The nose has within its channels ee-
ments for clearing the air of foreign particles
and warming it for the lungs. Any nasal
occlusion compes the air to be taken in by
the mouth-a most perDicious habit that OF
necessity affects the general health, causing
narrowing of the chest, premature decay of
the teeth, and limits the air supply and lung
capacity. Whoever breathes through the
mouth invites pneumonia. It is OF the great
est Importance that every inch of lung tissue
should be in relatively perfect condition.
The sum of all the little spaces where air
meets the blood Is equal to the enormous
area of 80 square yards. Zach breath may
be bringing in from the external atmosphere
all manner of deleterious material seeking
some weak spot to gain foothold This
weak place cannot exist without danger
to health. The entire blood current comes
to the lungs to obtain from the outside
world the ife-giving principle. This $50
square yards of tissue requires u supply OF
pure oxygen over 1000 times every hour.
When children play, race and romp, the
lungs are filled in every part, and this very
exercise of filing them strengthens their
substance Brisk walking, with deep iu-
spirations and the mouth closed, helps to
sweep out the products of waste. Every.
thing that expands the chest, as tennis,
bowling, rowing, fencing, &c., is an antidote
to possible pneumonia Medical Classics

Tie State Ncbt.

Notwithstanding the zeal and oicQueuce
of Gov. Lee ana Mayo EliyaJ:i IN 5ehaf of
the coupon boycott, that movement is pal
psble failure, aa careful and critical analy
sis OF the lists here. and elsewhere, Of parties
pledging themselves against the use Of cou
pons will plainly show. Lacking all the
characteristics and elements OF @ business
movement, it is not surprising that it failed,
and that its frantic appeals have attracted
but little attention among Taxpayers who
have used and can use coupons probably
Besides, there is 9 popular distrust OF the
quality Of that patriotism which requires
the signing OF pledge to keep the lapsed
aud falteripg patriots up TO the sticking
point
But we have 40 wish 20 assail this mori-
bund scheme, because we have
a sincere respect for the character and mo-
tives Of the gentlemen engaged in i, and for
the further reason, it isn't noble 10 strike .
thing when it is down. We refer TO it now
in this brief and casual way to give force 10
the reminder that the settlement Of the
State debt is the most urgent and important
matter at present before the Virginia peo
pie, and that there is BOW and has always
been, on the part Of the creditors, g disposi-
ton to deal reasonably and literally with
the State. A careful snd di7psssionate OBJ
servation of the debt agitation constrains us
to say that the State, through her represen.
tatives, embracing al popular parties, has
not shown like disposition Of reason
ableness and fairness towards the creditors.
1t has not even shown an equitable dsposi-
tion-in that the terms offered the credi
tors are not the best our resources will iusti-
ly-as we have, on more than one occasion
of late, demonstrated.
There was no good reason why the State
should not have accepted the terms offered
by the creditors in the conference last year,
instead of grossly insultihg Sir Edward
Thornton for presumptuously pointing out
the means by which the creditors offer
could be accepted and complied with. But
having failed to take advantage Of that op-
portunty to settle the debt, and place it
outside of politics. there is now DO valid ex.
cuse for Withholding tender of terms that
the creditors could accept with honor and
profit to themselves and without degrada-
zion to the State. No measure of coercion
even if successful, could effect settlement
that would be satisfactory to the creditors,
or honorable 10 the State, to say nothing of
the debauchery of private good faith that
would attend such demoralizlng example
OF public infdelity and dishonesty.
1t is to hoped that the boycott failure
will impress Gov. Lee with the importance
of an effort in more creditabie direction.
But if it does not, then the people, them
selves, must take the matter in hand, and
elect men to the next Legislature who will
settle this question beyond the power OF
demagogues ever TO resurrect it again

are some of American manufacture,

THE VIEW CHARTER.

THE GAZETTE has no disposition to crit
icise the work being done on the new
charter, nor to presume to prefer advice;
but this much, in common with the citi-
zenship of the town, it should say: 1t is
to be presumed that the aldermen who
are engaged upon the work of preparing
new charter really desire that their
work shall become the organic law
of the city, for there are few
who do not recognize the necessity of n
new charter. This much conceded TO the
sincerity of the councilmen, care should
be taken that potent antagonists to the
work are not created. Back of the al
dermanie action stands the legislature, ,
and all this work viii be loves labor lost
if the legislature shall not approveit. The
injection of schemes personal or po-
litical into the work now being done will
be fatal to it. Already hostility is being
ungendered, and unless there is recon-
sideration of some of the perfected work i,
it is safe to say that the Twenty first
legislature viii not set the seal of its
approval upon the application. 1t will
not be difficult for the council to inform
itself of public sentiments or to learn that
the best laid schemes will come to naught
if that sentiment is treated with con-
temDt
