The following heretofore unheard OF
information in regard to the breath and
breathing was made publicin in Kentucky
recently by school boy of 12 years
who wrote an essay on the subject says
Medical Classics:
1--WE breathe with our lungs, oul
lights, our kidneys and our livers. II
1t wasn't for our breath we would die
when we slept. Our breath keeps the
life a-going through the nose when we
are asleep. Boys who stay in a room al
day should not breathe. They should
wait until they get out in the fresh air
Boys in a room make bad air called
carbonicide. Carbonicide is as poison
as mad dogs. A lot of soldiers were
once in black hole In Calcutta, AND
carbonicide got in there and killed
them. Girls sometimes ruin the breatf
with corsets that squeeze the diagram
A big diagram is the best for the righ
kind of breathing

Comforted by His Mothers Spirit.
New Or ..a, Cor. St. LOuI. olObe.pemoOr.,.I

New or'taa, Cor. st. Louis Globe Democrat
A certain clergyman, the pastor OF
one Of the largest Protestant churches
in this city, few days ago related to
this scribe what he termed "a true
ghost story" with full permission to
the latter to communicate it to the
Globe Democrat on condition that his
name be Withheld. The story in his own
language is as follows:
"Some forty-five years ago a young
mother died leaving a baby of few
weeks old to her sorrowing husband.
But this husband, as most men do,
found his grief growing less as time
passed and when his baby son was
three years old, married again. The
new wife was by no means heartless
woman, but very thoughtless and fond
of gayety, and had no fancy for other
peoples children, feeling, besides, a little
natural jealousy Of her predecessor, so
the poor little step-son Jared rather
badly. His father, after his second
marriage, entertained great deal of
company, and in order to get rid of the
child put him to sleep in a room some
what remote from the rest of the house.
For some time the boy suffered fear
fully from fear of the darkness and the
worse telling of loneliness, and he
would lie and cry out loud so that any
one passing could hear him. But after
a while it was noticed that he appeared
resigned to his Punishment, and the
sound of his terrified weeping was no
longer heard.
His father at length said to him:
You are getting braver, son, aren't
you? when the little fellow astonished
him by replying, oh, don't care
since the lady comes to stay with mel
When asked what lady he meant he
replied that a lady came every night
to sit with him when he had been left
alone in the dark. Thinking the child
was drawing on his Imagination, he
was told that no lady could get in, as
his door was always locked, but, on his
persisting, it was decided that he was
telling falsehood, and he was threat
ened with a whipping if he repeated
1t. The little fellow, with tears In his
eyes, turned to his father and cried;
Papa, she does come. She says she is
my mamma, and that she loves me
STILL
"The step-mother broke out angrily
at this, but her husband silenced her,
and asked the child to tell him what
the lady was like. This the boy did in
his baby way, but 30 accurately as to
cause the two to glare at each othel
with pale and frightened faces, for they
could not doubt that the visitor who
came nightly to comfort the desolat'
little creature was no other than hi
dead mother. After that he was treat
ed more kindly, and the vision neve
came again. How do l know this story
to be true one? Because I was thl
child of whom speak, and to this da,
have distinct remembrance of
tall, beautiful woman, with a hal
about her head, and wearing a smile O
celestial brightness, mingled with
mothers tenderness, who came an
sat beside me, stroking my head an,
soothing my fright and sorrow. No
that was afraid fher, for it seeme
most natural for her to be there, and
loved her with purely human, child
ish love-"

Horse Flesh as Food.

The Berlin correspondent of Lon
don daily writes: "The price of beef,
mutton and pork has increased SO much
throughout Germany that hundreds of
households of the small official class
and artisans and laborers cannot afford
to see these meats on their tables. Re-
course is now had to horse flesh, which
is much cheaper, though the extra de-
mand has run up the price of this also.
In the month of October 816 horses
were slaughtered in Berlin for domes-
tic consumption, an increase of twenty
five per cent, as compared with last
year. At Ronigsberg, town with
about tenth of the inhabitants of Ber-
lin, $50 horses went to the butchers.
AT Cassell the increase in the consump-
ton of horse flesh is ninety per cent,
as compared with last year; at Bochum
and Stuttgart il is sixty; at Leipzig II
is a little over sixty per cent; at Bruins
wick and Lubbock 1t Is over thirty per
cent. The increase is also great al
Hamburg and Bremen. In the former
town the price per pound is now Id

1t is entirely natural that there
should be differences Of opinions about
the merits of the Australian ballot.
Senator German does not think it is q
good thing and many Democrats agree
with him, but many other Democrats
think it a good thing. The Young
Mems Democratic club, Wilmington,
Del, tried it at their election of officers
last week and they like it very much,
and think it would be a good thing to
introduce generally. Norwich, Conn,
tried 1t couple of months ago and the
result was Democrotic victory for the
first time in many years. For our own
part we believe the secret ballot is
good thing in itself, as tending to pro-
mote honest elections, and good
thing for US as matter of policy, be-
cause the Democratic party loses more
than the Republican party does from
the use of money in elections and the
intimidation of voters by their employ
ers. We observe that the Republicans
of Iowa and Pennsylvania are opposed
to the secret ballot, and we believe SO
far as their party interests 60 they are
right in their position, and we are not
surprised that Mr.. Murat Halstead de-
nounces the secret ballotas "a fraud
as we'll as fad" - National Demo
crdt.

Killed a Whita Mink.

A white mink Of good size was caught
recently in the excavation of sewer on
Third street, between College and Hall,
by Mr.. G. Dundee. The little quadruped
was full Of fight, and could not be taken
alive. 1t is an unusual thing to find this
valuable fur producing animal on this
coast. The writer has had much expert
ence in the woods along the lakes and
rivers of western Oregon and Washing
ton for thirty-five years past, but this
is the first time he has ever known a
white mink to be seen in the region men
honed.-Portland Oregonian.

A good horseman very well knows
that a colt cannot be whipped or sworn
into good, kind horse. Every one
who whispers the hardest and swears
the loudest will always have the worst
animals to handle. The most success
full horsemen are those who are finn
but kind in their treatment. A parent
who is always scolding, swearing at and
whipping his children is sure to have vi.
cious and unruly children to govern.
These remarks were melted by local in
cidents that broke the golden rule into
fragments and set at naught the great

GET rich

That is piece OF advice very
much like the doctors, when he
advised the poor man to take a
sea voyage; or the poor woman
to take good nourishing food
and a glass of port wine, We
don't need to be told to get rich
but we do need to be told how
to do it.
There are many ways to get
money. Speculation is one way.
You can buy stocks, bonds,
shares, etc., but all this re-
quires capital to start with, and
you have none, we will sup
pose. Then you must begin
saving money, but this only
shifts the shoe that pinches to
the other foot. How to save
money is nearly as great a prob
lem as how to get rich. 1t is
very we'll to say, "save mon
ey.' That is what we started
out to tell you and everybody,
how money saved on,your nee
essary expenses may lay the
foundation for fortune for you;
and you can save money every
time you,trade by buying cheap.
That's no news, you will
probably say. Of course you
can save by buying cheap. You
could also fly if you had wings
You can do anything if you
know how. You are quite
willing to save on your buying
if you know where to CO.
That's what we are getting at
We would not waste your time
by Offering all this advice with
out having a practical end ir
view. If you want to buy
goods at prices which will save
you much money don't fail te
visit the large drug and book
house Of Saur & Balsley. Yor

on the necessary medicines
whichgyour family need at this
