Abnormal Lungs.

Athletic lung" is medical term
used to designate the abnormal devel-
opment Of lung possessed by some
athletes. The condition is produced
by those forms Of exercise that call
for the constant use of the lungs at
their highest power. The result is an
enormous development OF lung capac-
ity. Such men. upon giving up their
active athletics aud taking to seden-
tary pursuits. are peculiarly subject to
pulmonary complaints The override
veloped lung is only used in part and
the unused cells easily fall q prey to
disease when once an athletic lung has

German Pensions.

An agitation has begun in Bavaria
against Prince BismarlS's acts for secur-
ing pensions to aged and inirn work
ingmen. There are complaints that it
does not work well. The method OF

sists in the affixing Of stamps by mas
tiers and men 10 a card. The master is
bound to see that every one in his en-
ployment buys stamp every week
representing a percentage of his wages,
and the master on his side puts on a
stamp of like value. But this leads 10
a good deal of friction with the author
ties. Cards get lost, or the holders
fall into arrears, or they change
their abodes and are put to great
trouble in getting their new addresses
registered. Another objection IN the
eyes of worlSingmen is that, when a
man applies for employment, the
master can tell at a glance at his card
whether he has been in regular work.
Thus man who has been ON a strike
is found out at once. Moreover young
wOrkmen grumble at having to pay
every week for advantages which they
will not enjoy till they are 20 years old
Altogether the act has never been pop
ular and petition is in circulation for
its amendment. The Liberals. the So
cial Demo ,rats and the Catholics are
united in the movement.

Capt. w. l. Pitcher of the Eighth
United States Infantry is stationed al
Fort Washable. Wyoming. The fort is
in one of the most inaccessible regions
of Wyoming and one hundred and sixty
miles from a railroad station. When
asked by a Chicago reporter what he
thought OF Secretary Proetor's scheme
of making the Indians into United
States soldiers Capt. Pitcher grew en-
thusiastic.
II think" said he, that the scheme
is a grand success and the only solu-
ton of the. Indian question. I am
pretty well qualified to Judge Of the
workings Of the scheme, as the first
regular company Of Indians was estab-
hshed in my regiment. This company
consists of sixty Shoshoue and Rap
pahanoes braves OF course can't tell
how they would perform in actual
service, but lin everything else
they make splendid soldiers. They
are taken into the service on the
S ne footing as the white men. The
great difficulty is in teaching them
English, but several of the soldiers m
derstand the sign language and so we
get along very well. You cannot i'm
agine how proud those Indians are of
their position, and how they vie with
each other in keeping their uniforms
and arms in good condition. No, the
men are not jealous Of them and often
engage them in friendly wrestling
bouts and races. .

soldIer Elisha ,nIl,a rYiIl-

An odd will was filed at the ProI ate
office in Auburn, Me-, recently. II was
that of Elisha Ball of Miuot, and was
dated in 1867, but the maker Of the
win had outlived all the witnesses to II
and it had to be proved from the hand
writing Of the man who drew it. 10
was the first case on record Of the kind.
The maker, Elisha Ball, was an old
citizen of Minot and served in the late
war. On one occasion he was severely
wounded In battle, and when the men
were gathering up the wounded they
came along TO him, examined him and
were going TO pass him by. Take
me along" he,said. ''You can't live, .
was the reply. II can and will" he
said, and so earnest was he that the
men picked him up. That was twenty
eight years ago. and Elisha lived not
only to make his will but to survive all
the witnesses of it, and that documentg
too, quarter Of century. Not a
change had been made in the paper
from the day it was drawn.
