BE More Thar a college Man. 81

When you get out of college, young
man, get clear out. You can get back
half day or 30 at any time-at a boat
race, a football match, at commence
ment-whenever there is a reasonable
excuse; but in your daily walk and con-
versation be something more than a
college man-be citizen. Be even
an alderman, if you can. Take the
world to be yours, as Bacon took all
learning to be his, and don't forever
limit your view of 1t by what was once
visible from some point in New Haven
or in Cambridge. Go and be man
somewhere. Don't be satisfied to be a
mere graduate for all time. Of
course you owe your alma mater debt
that you are always ready to pay, and
loyalty that should have no breaks in
it. When you have grown to the size
of Daniel Webster, and your Dartmouth
asks you to defend her in court you
are going to be proud when you do it.
That is all right. You can't do too
much for her, or do it too we'll. If you
accumulate any reputation that is
worth having, feel honored indeed
When she offers to share it with you,
but don't be too persistently anxious
to strut in her plulnes to the disparage-
ment, it may be. of worthy men who
have no claim to any similar privilege.

Ersrciss for Chest DEVELOPMENT.

Exercises of strength lead rapidly to
an increase in the size of the thorax.
1t is the same with the exercise OF
speed when they need very energetic
movements. No exercise develops the
chest as rapidly as does running, unless
it be wrestling.
Mountaineers all have large chests
and the Indians who live on the high
plateaus of the Cordillera in the Andes
have been noted for the extraordinary
size of their chests. This great devel-
opment in mounta;neers is due to two
causes which act in the same direction
frequent ascent of steep inclines and
constant residence at great heights at
which the air is rarifed. The climb
ing of these slopes needs great guam
tity of work, which causes increase of
the respiratory need; respiration in a
rarified atmosphere obliges a man to
take deeper breaths in order to supple
ment, by the quantity of air breathed,
the insufficiency Of its vivifying prop
critics.
Singers, with no other exercise but
singing, acquire great respiratory
power and remarkable increase in
the dimensions of their chests.
Numerous observations prove that
it is enough voluntarily to take a GER
tain number of deep breaths every day,
to produce, in short time, an increase
in the circumference of the chest which
may amount to two or three centime
tres. Science Monthly.

He then enumerated the following:
Don't read in street cars or other
jolting vehicles. Don't pick the teeth
with pins or other hard substances.
Don't neglect any opportunity to
insure variety OF food. Don't eat
or drink hot and cold things imme-
diately in succession. Don't pamper
the appetite with such variety of
food that may lead to excess. Don't
read, write or do any delicate work
unless receiving the light from the
left side. Don't direct special mental
or physical energies to more than
eight hours work each day. Don't
keep the parlor dark if you value
your own and your children's health.
Don't delude yourself into the belief
that you are an exception so far as
sleep is concerned; the nominal aver
age of sleep is eight hours. Don't
endeavor to rest the mind by abso-
lutte inactivity; let it rest in work in
other channels, and thus rest the
tired part of the brain.-New York

InCaSe of Fire.

The old saying, ''In time of peace
prepare for war;" is as applicable in
regard to fires as to the movements
of armies. Every family vino is liv-
ing in q house, from the sleeping
rooms of which there is but one wav
of egresS, and thatnear the chimney,
is running terrible risk. Double
windows are source of warmth in
cold weather, but what if they are
SO solidly nailed on as to imprison
the occupants in case of firel Often,
howe yer, the windows are so far from
the ground as to afford no way of
escape. A fire escape or ladder Sc
curely fastened should be within
reach of all rooms not accessible in
more than one way from tile inside,
or at least something in the nature
of a rope ladder or that could be
used for one should be kept on the
inside, with arrangements for secur-
~ fastening it at a short notice.
One may live in a house years with
out any need of such precautions, or
they may be needed within week

The Apples of Sodom.

1t seems that the more testimony
adduced as to what the "Apples of
Sodom" are, or were, theless we know
specifically about them. One who ex-
amined them "found them to be the
fruit of a thorny nightshade." Now,
nightshade is a very popular name,
and is usually applied, botanically,
to a solanaceous plant (Atropa
belladonna), including among its
common allies the "bittersweet, "com-
mon night shade, "horsenettle," po-
tato, egg plant, tomato, and their
varieties-all of which bear a smooth,
solid fruit and numerous small seeds,
but none of which are explosive to
the touch. An allied genus (Physalis)
commonly called the ground cherry"
the calyx of which, after Towering,
closes over the fruit and becomes
enlarged and much inflated, by pres
sure will then explode. The apples
of Sodom, therefore, do not seem to
be allied to these herbaceous plants.
Then, 1.-The fruit of the 'osher," "os-
sier" osher" (peradventure osier)-
which seems to suggest akind ofwillow
(Salix of which there are said to be
140 pieces and varieties, varying in
height from three inches to great
towering trees-is said to be the ia
nous apples of Sodom. If willows
are meant they are not remarkable
as fruit bearing trees, either normal
or abnormal, although some of them
sometimes produce very singular
sorts of gall.
Asclepias gigantia is suggested rs
among the probabilities. Asclepidia-
c@ includes the milkweed family
the "wild cotton" as the species are
usually called in some localities.
From what we know of our local
milkweeds, we can hardly realize that
any of them should bear a fruit APP
proximating the apple of Sodom.
The burden of testimony seems to
be that the apples of Sodom are not
merely a figure of speech, "but a real
or apparent fruit: but there has been
some looseness or superflciality in
their description OF scientific classifi-
cation. IF the technical name of the
tree, shrub or plant-as reorganized
by botanists-had been given, the
problem would have been solved long
ago.-American Notes and Queries.

Justice Miller.

The Oldest justice on the bench in
point of service, and one ofthe ahlest
jurists in public life, is Justice Miller.
He is six feet tall, weighs atleast 200
pounds, and every molecule of his
anatomy is packed with good sense,
good nature and judicial ability. He
could have retired years ago, for he
is considerably over 20. He likeshis
work, however and does not intend
to become q nonentity. Judge Mil
Ter was appointed by Lincoln in 1862,
and when Salmon 2. Chase died it
was thought that he would be made
chief justice. Grant, however, APP
pointed Waite, and Justice Miller has
outlived him and seen a new man
take his place on he bench. Justice
Miller is said to be well-to-do, being
worth 100000 or SO. He began
life as a drug clerk, and studied medi-
cine and practieed eight years before
he decided to become q lawyer,

A Judge Who Had Made Up His Mind and
Wouldn't Be Browbeaten. Two Hen SEN
fenced to Death, and the Murdered Man
Fined for Contempt

One John Peters, sober and Inc
dustrlous man, failed to come home
one night This occurrence was so
unusual that his wife, becoming alarm
ed, aroused the neighborhood; and
men, women and children turned out
in search. The next day John Peters
coat was found near the river bank.
Marks OF struggle were also discov-
cred. Immediately there arose cry
that the man had been murdered; and
about this time, there came along
reputable citizen who declared that he
had, several days before, heard Sam
White and Al Miller swear that they
would kill Peters. The two men were
arrested and taken before q Justice OF
the peace. They avowed their inno-
cence, and their lawyer declared that
they could not be held for the murder
until it was proven that n murder had
been committed. This proof was not
long wanting, for fisherman soon ar .
rived with the Information that he had
found the body OF Peters. The body
was identified, and the preliminary
trial proceeded, resulting not only in
establishing the fact that White and
Miller swore that they would kill
Peters, but that they we're overheard
to declare that they would drown him.
They were held over and indicted by
the grand jury.
When the case came up before Judge
Quirl1 OF the circuit court, of tn 9
Hickory Flat circuit, some Of the ablest
| lawyers in the state were in attend
ance, for White and Miller were not
friendless, and, moreover, they were
| not without means.
After more than a week of "skir-
mishing" jury was impaneled, and
then the great trial was begun. The

were guilty. This jurist was some

The bulldog is not an animal to be
admired, yet he possesses one trait that
at least entities him to our respect.
His tenacity of purpose is proverbial.
It makes him formidable adversary.
A like trait has often enabled man to
overcome great obstacles and win VIC
tory under the most trying circum-
stances. In fact, it is only by tenacity
of purpose and indomitable wiil-power.
that many of LIES battles are brought
to a successful termination.
Disease, like mans more material
enemies, is often an obstinate adver-
sary, and it is only by the most de-
termined persistency in the use Of the
best remedy that victory is attained
over it. While DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery is guaranteed to benefit
or cure in all diseases for which it is
recommended, yet in ailments Of long
standing, which are usually alike slow
in their inception and progress, the cure
must likewise be effected by slow de-
grees and regular stages. This can
