"the tendency q all persons is to use only
the upper potcsJns OF the lungs. It 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

that they willfully sinned against nature

The Natchez were divided into mobiles
and common people, which last with an
arrogance not peculiar to savages alone,
were designated ''stinkards
The mobiles themselves were divided into
Suns, mobiles and men of rank The suns,
according to tradition. were descended
from a man and woman who came down
from the sun to teach them bow to live and
govern themselves They enjoyed immu-
nity from punishment by death, and their
nobility was transmitted only through the
female line Although the children, both
male and female, bore the name Of Suns,
the males enjoyed this honor in their own
persons alone.
Their male children were only mobiles,
the next generation were men Of rank,
and the third lowered them to plain stink
ards. although distinguished actions might
retard the deterioration of the blood. But
the case was.very different with the female
posterity. They enjoyed through all gen.
erations the privileges of their rank. Lau-
doniere speaks of queen who was much
rcverenced by her subjects when he visited
Florida
The nobility never intermarried. As we
have already noticed. one of their laws pro-
hibited their being put to death for any
reason whatsoever Another law decreed
that when a Sun died his or her conjugal
partner should be put to death at the time
OF burial To fulfill these two laws they
only married stinkards- H. A Giddings

II was in the year of l116 that Lafayette,
not vet nineteen years old. at dinner
party at Metz, where he was stationed with
his regiment heard that the American
colonies had declared their Independence.
The dinner at which he was present was
given by the commandant of the garrison
Of the Duke Of Gloucester. a brother of the
King Of England
Young Lafayette had heard much before
of the cause Of the difficulty between Eng
land and her colonies aud he had made
up his mind they had been badly treated.
His Youthful Imagination took fire at this
new land, separated from the Old World by
5000 miles of ocean, and which TO him was
invested By It's distance with halo Of ro-
nance, aud his generous nature impelled
him to take sides with those he thought
oppressed
Before he left the table he resolved to
draw his sword in the cause of American
independence. He acted upon this resolu-
ton at once Going Immediately to Paris
he sought an interview with the American
commissioners Franklin. Deane and Ar
thur lee, and told them Of his intentions
Of going to America
These patriots sadly informed him that
Washington was retreating through New
Jersey from the British, and that this of
fered aid from France, though kindly and
nobly meant. might very likely arrive too
late. Besides, Lafayette's family and pow
erful friends in the government did all
they could to thwart his purpose, but the

connection with foot of the lamp; the
other foot of the lamp is insulated aud can
be brought in contact with "A pole OF the
accumulation by means of needle intro

As the contacts are in the interior OF the
box and the lid. neither the opening nor
