We'll, I'll just tell you. This is

Expand Sts,s lungs

The reason for the relative immri
nityfrompulmonary consumption in
Colorado are discussed by DIR. H. B.
Moore, of Colorado Springs. in til,
current number orthe New York Medi
calJournal. The prevalent sunshine.
the dry soil and the consequent dry
air, and the rnreiied condition of the
atmosphere, are the prime influence
which stimulate the consumptive and
re-establish his health. But there is
another influence which makes for
health that may be consulted bv
those who are not financially able to
go to Colorodo, and that is, the lulI
and proper use OF the lungs. Upon
this point DR.. Moore says.
Among the most conspicuous ef-
fe"ts OF high attitudes is the increased
expansive power OF the lungs. This
fact is SO generally known and re-
cn9nized that it needs no comment.
1t signifies, OF course, that, owning
to the atmospheric attenuation, to
fully meet the needs OF the system
greater respirator activity is neces-
'snry, and that portions of the lungs
but little used at sea a.level are
brought into reauisition, and the
whole organ takes on increased tunc-
tionrl activity with all the incident
al nEtritive advantages, according
to the knownl;'w that tuhcrcle has IL
cpeciul affinity for organs that func-
tionate incompletelv, and it's con-
verse, that their power of resistance
and vitality exhibit IL direct ratio to
their functional activity.
lithosc who have weak lungs would
Aput their lreathin" organs through
course OF daily exercise, filling them
to the utmost with air, and expand
ing every cell without any violent
strnining. they would gradually in
crcas" their lung power, strengthen
the circulation of their blood, inn
prove their digestion. and rc-estnb-
lish bodily vigor. Non-use produces
ntrophy, either in lungs or in mas
c'rs. and we should pay as much at
tention to Jung gymnastics, so to
speak, as we do to the exercise OF the
legs and arms. A half.used Inn" is
more likely to be the seat OF disease
than a full and vigorous lung that is
able to throw off germs and other
foreign matter.

With the longs.

Agreat deal oflaughter has been ex-
pended on womankind for taking the
broom as q weapon in "shoojng" an
enemy, but, after all, why should not
one use the implement to which she is
most accustomed? Greatexecution is
possible with the weapon otour choice,
as an English lady, living in Canada,
has proved.
She was one day greatly interested
in putting out the family washing to
dry. Sheets and tablecloths were on
the line, which, to her horror, sud-
denly fell, dropping her spotless
clothes in the dirt.
A large buck, caught by the antlers,
was the cause of the trouble. There
was not a man within five miles
they had all gone to n neighbours for
the day. The deer plunged about,
and the lady screamed. Something
had to be done, and done at once.
There was a fine gun in the house,
loaded, but the lady would not ap-
proach it as firearms were her espe-
cial dread.
Among her many possessions she
had a large pair of tongs. She
thoroughly understood this frearm,
and with all her housewsfely instincts
outraged, she seized them and began
the attack.
Within five minutes the bnck's
skull was pounded to jelly, and then
the victor, her clothing slightly torn,
sat down and INDUCED in good
cry.-FoTest and Stream.

Show Pupils.

There is cruel story in circulation
concerning q certain teacher in one Of
the public schools who has been highly
complimented because of the success
attending the examination of her pu-
pills, says the Washington Critic. 1t
was noticed that her class of boys
seemed to be able to solve all the
problems. When aquestion was ask
ed every boys hand was raised. The
principal of the school was putting
the question, and the teacher would
call on pupil to make the answer.
Although more than a score of cues
tons were asked, in no instance was
animproper answer given.
The principal was so pleased at the
result that he made special mention of
Miss Dash's'proficiency as a teacher in
each ofthe class-rooms that he visit
ed. Probably envy was caused by the
fact that in no other classroom did
the pupils seem to be as we'll up in their
studies. One OF the teachers, whose
pupils did'not acquit themselves very
creditably, made an investigation,
and by a judicious use of candy sue
ceeded in gaining the confidence of
one of the boys under Miss Dash's
care.
"Now, Johnny" said she, how is it
that all you boys know the answers?"
1--WE don't all know" said Johnny,
munching a caramel.
But you all put up your hands as
if you did"
Miss Dash tells us to put up our
hands when the question is asked.
We boys who don't know the answer
put up our left hands, and the boys
who know the answer put up their
right hands, and then Miss Dash on
ly asks the boys who have a right
hand up"

Sleeping Cars and Common

Coaches.
From the Rochester Herald.
Why should not railroad cOmpan-
les be induced or compelled to make
the framework of the common
coaches as stout and as capable OF
resisting crushing force as are the
frames of the sleeping cars? 1t might
add trife to their weight, perhaps,
but the births and heavy interior
woodwork not being required, they
would still be light com mared
with the sleepers. The latter have
beenincreassdi in weight to forty tons,
while q day-coach weighs abouteight-
cen. It might be an inducement to
the railroad companies to strengthen
common coaches by either increase
ing or removing altogether the stat
utory limit of damages for accident
ally killing a person. 1t is a rather
absurd law that says that railroad
company may kill a person and not
be liable for more than S., 1000 dam
ages, whereas if they only MAIN him
he may recover $4,000 $4,000 or
$4,000 as he can prove his value
that is, his ability to work and earn
money.

affected him SO seriouly that he was
charged with drunkenness. The police
commissioners dismissed him from

when the general term otthe supreme

Barrett dissented, and wrote:
