Rapid Breathing as a Remedy.

= About fifteen years ago Maj Gen.
Drayson of the British Army often
suffered, especially at night. from a
severe pain in the region of the heart.
He believed he was doomed to die
soon of heart disease. About that
time certain of his experiences in the
mountains Of India led him to think
that his heart pain might be due to
insufficient Oxygcnation of the blood
He therefore tried to relieve it by
breathing rapidly-at the rate of
about forty breaths a minute. In a
few seconds the pain ceased, and did
not return that n ght.
After that he says he always re-
sorted to the same expodient, and in.
variably with success AS time went
on the pain became not only less
frequent but less severe, and now if
there is the slightest indication of it
rapid breathing prevents its arrival
at maturity.
He therefore brings forward many
instances in support Of his belief that
some of the advantages of moderate
exercise are to be gained by simply
breathing rapidly. Rapid breathing
Is an effect Of exercise, and this is
beneficial because the rapid breath
ing gives the blood plenty OF oxygen.
lnvalidS or others who cannot take
exercise can obtain some OF its good
effect by deliberately passing much
pure air through the lungs. Rapid
breathing is particularly helpful in
cases Of sleeplessness and restless
ness.
The air must of course be pure,
else rapid breathing can have no good
effects. Hundreds of thousands at
tribute disease to themselves when
nothing is wrong except their habit
of breathing air impure from tobacco
smoke, gas burning Or simply from a
lack Of ventilation.
Impure air makes impure hood
and impure flesh. Thus those who
consume such air fall quickly into
and before disease. They cannot en-
dure an open window or door, be-
cause they feel cold, this sense Of
GOODNESS being in many cases simply
symptom that the blood has been
vitiated by the breathing of poison
Gus air.
To breathe air laden with human
is not whit more sensi-
BILE, as Gen. Drayson observes, than
to drink liquid sewage for q bever-
age.-Youth's Companion.

Tied the Island Fast.

Floating islands are by no means
rare, but an unusually queer one is
located in Gran berry Lake, near Ar.
den, New York. Some years ago, in
order to keep the island from folting
down the stream, it was attached to
the mainland by hawser, in nearly
the same manner as an ocean steamer
is tied to a dock. The old hawser
still remains tied to tree, and is the
object Cf much interest to visitors.

sat behind one of these youthful
philosophers at we theater one even

las, act a couple came in and made
every one in the row get up to let
them pass. The psychological girls
escort meek looking youth, made
some remark about people being late
and disturbing half the house, when
hi. companion said:
You have no right to blame them
for being late. Probably Che woman
kept the man waiting for three-quar-
ters of an hour, But that was not her
fault and she is not TO blame. She
can't nelp being late. 1t is one Of her
ldiosyncrasies."
Can't help being late" the young
man exclaimed, incredulously.
No was the answer. "She is sim
ply unable to estimate time Now, for
example" continued the young lady,
"take the young man who is always
behind time He never allows him
self time enough to do things 1t al
ways takes him longer than he thinks
it is not that he overestmateS his own
work, but he simply underestimate
time. This same person will underes-
innate the value of things and under

hand, the man who is always a few
minutes early for an engagement is
the man who overestimu ties time and
everything else. Other things being
equal he will be affected by the elo-
quence of the last speaker in a debate.
He is apt to think the last good book
the best he has ever read. He is con-
ceited and he probably overestimates
the ability Of his friends, He thinks
they are better or smarter or more

DAYS WERE FOUR HOURS LONG.

Earth Travelled Much Faster.

Earth Travelled MuCh raster
To-day is longer than yesterday; to-
morrow will be longer than to-day.
The difference is so small that even in
the course Of ages it can hardly be
said to have been distinctly established
by observation. says The Story Of the
Hsacelts. We do not pretend to say
how many centuries have elapsed
since the dav was even one second
shorter than it is at present; but CEN
turtles are not the units which we en-
plOy in tidal evolution. A million
years ago ii is quite probable that the
divergence Of the length Of the day
from is present value may have been
very considerable.
Let as take a glance back into the
profound depths Of time past and see
what the tides have to tell us. II the
present order Of things has lasted the
day must have been shorter and
shorter the farther we look back into
the dim past The day is now twenty
four hours; it was once six hours.
How much farther can we go? O@ce

Here therefore. we discern in the
mote past a barrier which stops the

Ina. The earth could bear without risk

easy to answer. 1t depends upon the
nature Of the materials of the earth; it
depends upon the temperature; il de-
