The Act of Breathing.

In each respiration an adult inhales
one pint of air. A healthy man re-
spires Is to 20 times minute, or 90, 900
times day; child IS or IS times
minute. While standing the adult res
piration is % times per minute; while
lying down, II. The superficial surface
of the lungs, i. g., Of their alveolar
space, is 200 square yards. The amount
of air respired every "a hours is about
1000 quarts. The amount of oxygen
absorbed in "a hours is 500 liters (abous
IA grams). The amount of carbonic
acid expired in the same time is 400
liters OILS grams). Two-thirds Of the
oxygen absorbed in "a hours is absorbed
during the night hours, from p. m. to
6 a. M; three-ffths of the total is
thrown off during the day. The pull
monary surface gives off $50 grams OF
water daily in the state of vapor. AN
adult must have at least $50 liters OF
air in an hour. The heart sends 800
quarts of blood through the lungs every
hour, or about 5000 daily. The dura-
ton of inspiration is five-twelfths of
expiration, seven-twelfths of the whole
respiratory act. During sleep inspira-
ton occupies ten-twelfths of the res
piratory period.-St Louis Republic.

THE OLD MAN SINGS.

There's wobble in the jingle and stumble in
the meter,
And the accent might be clearer and the volume
be conpleter,
And there might be much improvement in the
stress and intonation,
And polish might be added to the crude pro-
nunciation;
But there's music, like the harper played before
the ancient kings,
When the old man takes the fiddle and goes
feeling for the strings;
There is laughter choked with tear-drops when
the old man sings.
And We form ring about him, and we place him
In the middle,
And he hugs up to his withered cheek the poor,
old broken fiddle
And smile comes on his features as he hears
the strings vibration,
And he sings the songs Of long ago with falter
ing intonation;
and pbantoms from the distant past his broken
music brings,
And trooping from their dusty graves como
long forgotten things,
When he tunes the ancient fiddle and the old
man sings.
We let the broken man play on upon the broken
fiddle
And we press around to hear him. as he sits
there in the middle;
The sound Of many wedding bells in all the
music surgeS-
Then we hear their clamor smothered by the
sound Of funeral dirges.
IT'S the story Of his life time that in the music
rings
And every life's blind mans tune that's
played on broken strings
And so we sit in silence while the old man sings

had been cleared Of plants in circle of
about six PAGES diameter; apparently by
the crocodile having wheeled round
several times. Here and there a few
branches had been laid, but there was
no nest-building proper. The so-called
nest lay almost quite open to the sun
(only couple of poor bushes at one
part). The eggs FAY in four pits, dug
in tho hard, dry ground, about two feet
obliquely down. Including eggs
broken in digging out, the total seems
to have been IS to 90 According to the
natives, the crocodile, having selected
and prepared spot makes pit in it
that day, and lays about 20 to 25 eggs in
it, which it covers with earth Next
day it makes second pit, and so on.
From the commencement it remains in
the nest, and it sleeps there till the

Duties of Parents to Children.

One of the most important duties Of .
parent in bringing up child is to pre-
vent the child from doing itself harm.
The child does not know, for instance,
that unlimited sweets and sours injure
the digestion and impair the teeth; tho
mother does know it, and it is her duty
to have the child's supply of sweets and
sours limited. The child does not know
that the opportunity Of getting knowl-

which its school now affords. Tho par

CORN SMUT.
Some Suggestions for the General Treat
ment of the Affected Grain.

Some Suggestions for the General Treat
ment OF the Affected Grain.
Corn smut is widely distributed
throughout our country. and the injury
resulting from it's attack varies from
less than one per cent. to moro than
half of the crop. Experimenters do not
agree in their opinions as to its harm
fulness when eaten by cattle, but it is
certain that it is not an active poison.
Tho black powder Of the smut consists
of the spores, which are simple, seed
like reproductive bodies. These re-
produce smut much as seeds reproduce
ordinary plants. Smut spores may grow
in manure and liquids in the barn
yard for an indefinite period. The
smut enters the corn when it is very
young, penetrating the soft tissues of
the lowest joint and root of the small
plant. Smut does not pass from plant
to plant in the corn-field.
Outward applications to affected
plants will do no good, for the fungus
is inside, and no application will reach
it. Great care should be taken to keep
the ground from becoming filled with
spores by rotation of crops the in
crease of smut may be prevented. Do
nestle animals should not be allowed
to eat the smut in the field, for they
will distribute the spores in their drop
pings. Care should be taken not to con.
taminate yard manure with the spores.
Infected stalks should be re m owed from
the field before the smut balls open and
then be carefully destroyed. Plant
none but seed which is perfectly free
from smut spores. The spores adher-
ing to seed-corn may be killed by i'm.
mersion in strong solution of blue
vitriol. In a general way the proper.
ton may be given as follows, viz: Use
as many pounds of blue vitriol as gal
Ions of water. The immersion should
not last longer than twenty minutes
If the wet corn is placed upon sloping
boards the liquid may be drained of
and used over again number of times.

A LEVEL HEAD.


Tho Advantage Of Presence Of Mind In
an Emergency.
During the late strike on the New York
Central Railroad, the militia were ordered
to be in readiness in case of a riot, but they
were not called out.
In an interview, Gov. Hill said the troops
were not to be called upon except in case Of
an emergency. The emergency had not
arisen, therefore they would not be ordered
out. He remarked that this was the first
great strike with which he had had ex-
perience, and he did not propose to lose his
head; the only point at which there had
been serious trouble was at Syracuse, and
there deputy sheriff had lost his head and
precipitated an encounter.
The strike continued several weeks, and
there was riotous action at various points
along the road, but the civil authorities
were able to cope with it without calling on
the militia.
The test of mans real ability comes when
an emergency arises which makes hasty
call on his good Judgment and discretion.
The man who retains his presence Of mind,
maintains his equipoise and exercises sound
discretion at such critical junctures, is to
BE- relied on and will be put to the front.
Men with level heads have the staying
qualities which do not falter in the face OF
danger. Otis A. Cole, Of Kinsman, O.,
June 10, 1890, writes: I'm the fall of 1888
I was feeling very i'll. consulted doctor
