The Art of Breathing.

In each respiration an adult inhales one
pint of air. A healthy man respires 16
to 90 times minute, or 10000 times a
day; child 25 or 35 times "a minute.
While standing the adult respiration is
% times per minute; while lying down,
IS. The superficial surface of the lungs,
1. e., of their alveolar space, is 200 square
yards. The amount of air respired every
"a hours is about 10000 quarts. The
amount of oxygen absorbed in "a hours
is 500 litres about 744 grams). The
amount of carbonic acid expired in the
same time is 400 litres OILS grams.
Two-t thirds of the oxygen absorbed in "a
hours is absorbed during the night hours,
from p. m. to a. m. three-ifths of
the total is thrown off during the day.
The pulmonary surface gives off 150
grams of water daily in the state Of vapor.
An adult must have at least 800 litres of
air in an hour. The heart sends 800
quarts of blood through the lungs every
hour, or about 5000 daily. The dura-
tion of inspiration is five-twelfths of ex-
piration, seven-twelfths of the whole
respiratory act. During sleep inspiration
occupies tea-twelfths Of the respiratory
period.

Married to Fight a Duel.

Five years ago, according to story in
the Fliegende Blatter, Lieutenant Dago-
bert was sitting with his friend DR..
Thewalt in Vienna cafe. The CONVEX
sation turned upon the opera, and before
long the two friends disagreed, naturally
on the subject of Richard Wagner.
Dagobert grew warm; Thewalt became
still more excited. Dagobert considered
himself insulted and the next day sent a
messenger with challenge to duel.
Thewalt received him in his blandest
manner and said:
II should be most happy to fight, but
the chances are not equal. Dagobert is a
bachelor, whereas am a married man
and have three children. AS soon as
Dagobert can show me a wife and the
same number of children as myself, I
shall be willing to give him full satisfac-
tion at any time"
Dagobert was wild at the notion of
having to give up his bachelor life, but
he was determined to go on with the
duel. Miss Pepi, in house over the way,
consented to be his bride. They were
married in month, and two years and
eight months after the event he had the
qualification of going to his friend with a
child on each arm, while the Bohemian
nurse brought up the rear with the third
''Here am with my three children, :"
he triumphantly exclaimed; ''now for the
duell"

piled; 81 have now five childrenln

Uncle Sans Life Savers.

Each crew is selected with the great
est care, skill in the surf and experience
with the sea being the main requisites,
besides perfect health and strong frames.
The men are usually fishermen well
known in their neighborhood, and are
selected by the keeper Of the station un-
der certain regulations. Surfmen are
paid $50 a month during the active sea-
son, and are given their shelter and fuel
free. They must buy their own uniforms.
The keeper receives from $700 to $500 q
year, and are nearly permanent in their
| tenures during good behavior. A con-
slant patrol of the coast is kept up at
night, the time being divided into watches
of about four hours each. Two surfmen
are detailed for each watch, one going
in each direction along the coast until he
meets the patrol from the next station,
if it is near enough for the joining of the
beats. These patrolmen then exchange
metal checks that are returned to the
keepers to show that the beats have been
completely covered. In case the stations
are too far apart for this meeting, a post
Is planted at the end Of the beat, on
which a key is hung. This key opens Q

Bailie was in some of the fercest bat
ties of that terrible conflict, and was
always, when in action, found in the
thickest of the fray, fighting like
tiger. He was shot. sabered, and
bayoneted times without number, and
it is q wonder that he survived
as long as he did. His nose
and part of one ear had been slashed
off by asaber, One foot was shot away
by cannon ball. A portion of one jaw
and a piece of his tongue had been
carried away by missile from bomb.
He had seven bullet wounds in his
body, and was altogether probably
the worst mutilated man ii either side
to survive the civil war. There was
nothing sound about him but his brain.
He was writer of remarkable bril-
iancy and versatility, and for many
years had supported himself and family
by his pen. He had written number Of
books, and was a frequent contributor
to the magazines and literary syndi-
Gates. Colonel Bailie was native of
New York. and was about 80 years old.

Sad Work With the Birds.

The beautiful little mackerel gulls,
which few years since were so plentiful
in our Maine bays and estuaries, have
entirely disappeared, and now are never
seen. The cause which affected this was
the demand for plumage for the decora-
ton of the Fall and Winter bonnet. So
exacting was this that taxidermists
established branches MGR the supply,
that they might perpafe the skins Of
these and other birds as soon as killed.
For the mackerel gull they paid ten cents
each, price so remunerative to profes-
sional gunners that these birds were in the
short space of two years practically exter-
minated. ALI of the snipe family were
also in great demand; even the little
oxeye did not escape, for single order
was placed for 600, 900 of these at three
cents each to fillan English contract. ~

tenant Dissomay and asked him if he
was Mason. He replied in the af-
frmative, and Immediately efforts we're
made for his release, which proved
successful.
"The scene of the hanging was near
the Berryville turnpike, where the
bodies of the men were found by the
Union troops within the Federal lines.
The executioners were drunk and made
horrible job of it. They began by
tying one end of a rope around a SOL
dier's neck, throwing the other end
over the limb of tree and drawing
him up. The feet of the victims were
left SO close to the ground that their
toes dug holes in the earth in their
death struggles. After the job was
finished the rangers placed placard
on one of the bodies, informing General
Sheridan, with much flourish of words
and phraseology, that these men were
hanged in retaliation for seven of
Mosby's men killed by General Gus
ter's orders, measure for measure.
