The occupants of every room should take
into consideration hat the amount of air
rendered impure by the lungs the skin
of each person has been estimated to be a
little over three cubic feet per minute, and
that every gas light or lamp a
quantity of oxygen, and throws of its
poisonous carbonic substances, which,
when the air is motionless, must be taken
into the lungs, and with their sickening
influences scattered broadcast through the
entire system. Because you cannot smell
anything disagreeable in the air which you
breathe is no safe trst for its quality, for
custom breeds a habit" and habit leads
to tolerance, and where tolerance is estab-
lished the o%lfactory nerve has been be-
numbed, and the atmosphere, although
reeking with filth, is no longer offensive to
one accustomed to its smell.
Becoming habituated to any deleterious
odor does not insure immunity from con
tagious ills, as many are in the habit of be-
lieving, and if they do not affect the breath
er's health Immediately, that they are not
the less injurious. There is no human con-
%stitution that will not prematurely sink
by continually inhaling a foul and con-
taminated air. The time of endurance de-
ponds of course upon the strength of the
individual. yet no one of any intelligence
will doubt that diseased conditions will
certainly follow a prolonged state of lung
starvation.-Hall's journal of Health.

At every moment of the human Life the
air which we breathe goes coursing through
the most delicate and sensitive of the
wonderfully constructed organs of the
human system to purify and r~einvigorate
the vital currents of life. But what IL the
purifier shall itself be u~nclean and laden
with the seeds Of pollution' Having once
done its work, and come forth tainted
and foul, what If it shall again and
again be called to perform the task for
which it is no longer ftted2 Thu natural
and inevitable deduction is not far to
reach; the blood is no longer purified, but
it goes coursing through the body, the
source of disease and corruption, instead
of being the fountain Of pure, perfect
healthfulness.
Other organs, by sympathy or by direct
contagion, become affected. The imagina-
ton is too often influenced as well, antici-
patton conjures up dire evils, and the suf-
ferer, who is now in such earnest, flies from
one blood purifier" or tonic" to another,
gaining, perhaps, temporary and ques-
tionable relief at the expense of a system
loaded with poisonous and harmful drugs,
whose reaction may be expected at any
time and in almost any horrible form

A QUEER CASE OF cATALEPsY.
A Dentists Remarkable Actions Due to
the Influence Of a Cats Tooth.

A Dentists Remarkable Actions Due to
the Influence Of a Cats Tooth.
A correspondent sent the following let
ter to the editor of Halls Journal of
Health:
Sm-A case has lately come to my notice
which 1t occurred to me might be Of interest to
your readers. You are doubtless familiar with
q process in dentistry known as the implanta-
ton Of teeth, which is simply substitution of a
natural tooth in place OF a lost one, either in
its vacant cavity or, as in some instances, by
Insertion in a new and artihcially formed one.
The writer has a dentist friend who was an
enthusiast regarding his profession, and espe-
cially in respect to transportation. and like
other devOtees to science he did not hesitate to
experiment upon himself by inserting in his
own jaw, In place OF a newly extracted tooth, a
verttable cats tooth, and waited patiently upon
the result OF the experiment. In due time the
tooth became thoroughly rooted, but the effect
upon its possessor was something extraordi-
nary. His whole demeanor underwent q
change, and by no means for the better.
Instead Of his wOnted energy and devotion
to business he showed a disposition to lounge
about the house during the day time. selecting
the sofa, diyan, easy chairs or even the hearth
rug as a temporary dormltory, where he would
lie for hours together in a kind OF stlpOr. But
no sooner would the night appear than he was
all alert, manifesting great disquietude and a
desire to roam abroad, particularly in the
~neighboring back yards, displaying great abil-
lily in scaling the fences. He would be attract
ed by any little scratching noise about the
house, while the least movement Of an article
would cause him to dart forward. with fingers
widely spread, TO seize 1t. From being former
ly a great lover Of dogs, he showed an over
weening dread OF them, and on one occasion
sought safety by shying up a telegraph pole.
On moonlight evenings he was particularly
i'll at ease, and insisted upon being admitted to
the house roof, whence he would wander from
roof to roof. OCCASIONALLY emitting sounds in ex-
act imitation of the fascinating limitations
which romantic felines extend TO one another,
but now and then INTERPRETING an angry pro-
test as II spitefully repelling some obnoxious
intruder. Finally this state OF things became
unbeatable, not only TO the members OF his
Immediate household, but to neighboring fam
lies in the near vicinity, and the health of my
friend becoming also seriously impaired he
was persuaded to sacrifice the presumable
cause of his nocturnal eccentricities. l am
happy to be able to state that my friend has
partially recovered his former mental status,
only now and then, under a fancied provoca-
ton, getting his back up."

How to Detect counterfeIt..

In examining the most skillfuny made
counterfeit notes there is but one defect
found in them, and that is in their size.
Counterfeit bills are necessarily a little
smaller han the genuine. Government
plates, which it is impossible to steal, are
somewhat larger than the bills made there
from, on account of allowing for the
shrinkaEe of the paper. In making coun-
terfeit money a new note is pasted on a
polished steel plate, and transfer paper is
placed over it. The work is then traced
with a fine pencil, and afterward marked
through on the steel plate with a sharp en-
graver. The plate thus made is of course
just the size of the note, and the bills
made from it, when dampened, shrink,
making them somewhat smaller than gen.
uine currency.-New York Ledger.

From time immemorial dancing has
formed one of the chief amu3ements of
mankind. Repeated mention is made of it
in Holy Writ, and among the ancient
Egyptians it constituted a very prominent
and popular religious rite. Without n
doubt the Israelites gained their knowl-
edge Of it during the days of their captiv-
ity in the land of the Pharaohs. The
Greeks of the olden time INDUCED in war
dances, chief among which was one that
became famous under the name of the
Pyrrhic dance. In this the dancers depict
ed the actions of a warrior engaged in do
ing battle, the quick and agile movements
being made to the accompaniment of a
flute. There were, we are told, 200 differ
ent dances in vogue among these Greeks.
In ancient Rome dancing was one of the
chief features of the magnificent fetes for
which the empire became SO fsmous.-De-
