About nreathInr.

sour young people do not know how TO
breathe" said an old doctor TO an anxious
mother whose daughter, young girl Of
seventeen, had had for some time n severe
cold that had slightly affected the upper
ain passages OF her lungs. when the child
initiates her lungs as | direct her you can
hear the cracking Of all the disused mir
cells that for the first time have been
brought into play. You see," he went on.
"the tendency Of all persons is to use only
the upper portions Of the lungs. IL is only
after the fatigue and exertion consequent
on unusual exercise that the lower part is
utilized at all And just as people can live
for years with only one sound lung, so can
every one use only the upper portion and
feel well enough at the time.
"Girls, therefore, draw their corset
strings and say it doesn't hurt in the least
to wear their strings little tight, and ap-
parently they are right. They play tennis
and ride and row, and even swim in their
well-pulled-in stays; but let illness attend
them, let them need all their lungpower to
provide pure blood or breathing room to
resist disease, or let the cares of maternity
come upon them, then they may regret
that they willfully sinned against nature.
"But many err, too, simply through lazi-
ness, lack of knowledge or through bad
habits of partial breathing contracted in
youth; but, be that as it may, not one per
son in ten, or even twenty, knows how to
breathe. II l had my way should teach
breathing in every school of the couHtry.
Here is an exercise | want your daughter
to practice night and morning, and 50 eS-
cellent are its effects that have known it
even to cure insipient consumption.
"While you count fifteen slowly, let her
take long breath, so that she can feel it
initiating all the air cells of the lower part
of her lungs. When you reach fifteen let
her begin slowly 10 expel the air from her
lungs and keep on until another fifteen
are counted A few times will tire her
very much at first, and bring on fits OF
coughing; but let her persevere and she
will soon be able to do it ten or twelve
times at each exercise. And think can
promise you material benefit, New York
Tribune.

Rich vestments for Nuptial Masses.

Not long ago a nuptial mass set of vest
ments were prepared especially for Arch
bishop Corrigan when he celebrates wed
ding mass. 1t was made of white satin,
and around the outer edge is worked vine
of forget-me-nots in colors that blend.
Around the cross in the back OF the ohasu-
BILE is also worked gold sprays Of mar.
guerites in vine shape In the center of
each spray is inserted pearl. The cross is
richly ornamented in pearls and pink sea
shell embroidery.
Sacristan Mclaughlin told me that there
are scores of visitors to the cathedral from
all parts of the country who desire view
of the vestments. Many prominent society
women who are interested In embroidery
constantly petition to study the needlework
on thevestments. OF course these petitions
arc granted only to very limited extent
and very few people are permitted, except
before the altar, when the vestments are
being worn, to view them.--New York

How Romans Made Their Wills.

In Rome wills were unknown before the
enaction of the laws of the twelve tables,
and subsequently no one but Roman citi-
zen was competent to make will, or wit
ness it, or inherit under it. Sometimes the
Roman testator wrote the whole Of his
will with his own hand, and it was then
called "holographum." but generally a
lawyer was employed to draw it up. Who
ever wrote aRother's will, whether he were
lawyer or not, was forbidden to write down
any legacy for himself; and the entire in
strument was only legal if written in Latin.
A bequest conveyed in Greek, for instance,
would be invalid. y Roman might disin-
herit any or all Of his children and appoint
whomsoever he pleased to be his heir.-All

itself to be one of the most important. The
demand for it has become astonishing. Al

support it proportioned accordingly The
standard of measure is the United States
Winchester bushel (dry measure), the ca
pacity of which is equivalent to 2,l50.42
cubic inches.
One bushel of wheat or beans, co pounds.
One bushel of corn or rye, Sc pounds.
One bushel of oats, 80 pounds.
One bushel of barley or buckwheat, 4S
pounds.
One bushel of peas, Ga pounds.
Cracked corn, corn or rye meal, 80
pounds.
From the data above given it is an easy
matter first to compute the capacity of the
proposed bins. BY simply reducing the Gu
bical contents to inches, and dividing the
total number of inches by 2,15042, the
number of cubic inches in a bushel, will
give the number of bushels which any bin
will contain. To determine the weight to
be carried multiply the number of bushels
by the weight per bushel of the particular
kind of grain which it is desired to store.
To the weight of the contents of the bin
must be added the weights of the floor and
beams, planking, spikes, ETC., to obtain
the total load to be carried by the support
ing structure.
A cubic foot of yellow pine dry timber
will weigh As pounds; oak, 50pounds; white
pine 25 pounds; spruce, 25 pounds; hem
lock, 25 pounds. To obtain the number of
pounds of timber in any structure we re-
duce the number of feet of timber in
board measure to cubic feet and multiply
by the number of pounds in a cubic foot
of the particular kind of timber used
The safe load for warehouse floors is usu-
ally estimated at $50 pounds per square
foot in addition to the weight of the floor
itself, which will vary from forty to fifty
pounds per square foot.
The most economical and safe way in
case of an important structure is to employ
skilled engineer or architect to make the
necessary calculations.

IN LOVERS, Walk.

In Lovers Walk the wind Is wild;
To right and left the leaves are piled.
Or writhe amid the branches bare.
Or pad the runways Of the hare,
Yet here the sweet June days have smiled
With wonders then the woods were aisled;
The freshest rose and airs most mild
Were found by those who wandered there
In Lovers Walk.
For all those hearts unreconctled
That were with whispered words beguiled
When larks were reeling in the air,
And scents were blown from everywhere.
The wind Is sobbing like child
In Lovers Walk.

grain is unloaded and discharged into the
elevator box and carried from this to the
location desired There are two entrances
and driveways on opposite ends of the build
ing so that the unloaded wagons may pass
out without turning around. The drive
ways consist of heavy plank floor spiked
to strong timbers, with a railing on each
side to prevent accidents.
The grain elevators used consist of buck
cts attached to a belt which runs over two
pulleys, and is so arranged that it may be
run horizontally or vertically or at an in
cline. 1t is propelled by horse power in
most cases, attached to gearing in the base
ment. The elevator should be placed in a
central location, so that the grain may
easily be distributed to different parts of
the building. There should always be a
ventilator with open louvres on the sides
to allow free circulation of air, as grain
when stored in large quantities will gener-

pensable for practical life as well as
for the general direction Of society.
Human societies no longer live solely
through art and literature, as formerly !;
to-day they live above all through
science and industry. Hence the
necessity of a scientific education, not
less necessary than literary instruc-
ton, and which should be given side
by side. This being admitted, l think
that it should be done by other meth
DDS, and perhaps by different organiza-
ton, which it has not moreover been
sought to realize until to-day. In any
event, this scientific education should
not be, any more than literary educa-
ton properly speaking, entirely exclu-
sive. 1t is desirable to complete it, as
well, by a subordinate literary instruc-
ton in which no cultivated mind
should be permitted to remain untu-
tored. But to realize this special order
of literary instruction the ancient lam
guages are no longer indispensable, be-
cause they no longer constitute the
fundamental object of the e organ
ism. Two systems of instruction par
alleled and endowed with the same
prerOgatives, the one founded essen
TALLY upon ancient literature, but with
a certain scientific culture; the other
founded essentially upon the sciences,
but with a certain modern literary
culture, such appears tome formula

The opening story of the May num-

great French writer Prosper Merrlmee.
1t is a most graphic, realistic and yet
simple account Of a battle from the
point of view of one who was in the

There are two original stories in the

first deals with one phase of life in the
South just before the outbreak of the

career of the hard-riding and har
