the potent interests of trade are at the

Sugar as : Stimulant.

Il is related, upon good authorI' ),
that in the terrible retreat from. Moscow,
the few of Napoleon's army who se-
creted few pounds of sugar to eat
where enabled to support the intense
cold. In tropic countries Europeans
learn to drink sugar-water before long
walks as preventive Of sunstroke and
paralysis, and the French Algerian
troops carry sugar on their marches to
enable them to Withstand the desert
heat. Persons with spinal inflammation
and paralytic tendencies often have a
craving for sweets, which is nature
reaching instinctively for help, and in.
diligence in such cases is followed by
Improvement. As much pure sugar or
sweet as can be eaten without producing
acidity Is not only safe, but beneficial
for any one who Graves for it. Dis
turbance seldom follows in any ordinary
case when the sweets are perfectly pure
and are taken at proper times; not
nibbled constantly between meals. A
man Of science has said: 81 have had

relieved by taking syrupy small glass
of sugar-water, when shortly ideas gath

Brazil Is Land Poor.

As every school boy knows, Brazil has
about the same area as the United States,
but with her something more than
1920, 900 square miles of territory she
is ''land poor" having, by the largest
estimate, barely IL, 600, 600 inhabitants.
Only about one-third of that number
are "Aryan," or people with consider
able proportion of white blood in their
veins, and in this enervating climate it
requires unadulterated Anglo Saxon grit,
industry, and perseverance-not, as in
the temperate zone, to make the land
yield anything, but to cope with and
keep down the surprising energy of
nature.
As now known to the commercial
world, Brazil is looked upon as q COM
paratively narrow strip along the At
lantic Ocean, running from French
Guiana, few miles north of the equa-
tor and the mouth of the Amazon, to
Uruguay, thirty degrees south of the equa-
tor. Ali the rest OF the vast republic,
except little strip along the river mar
gin, is unbroken forests, backed by
mountain ranges, and what lies behind
the mountains no civilized human being
knows. At least one-fifth of Brazil is
yet as complete terra incognita as the
heart of Africa without Stanley, and
one-third is untrodden tropical jungle,
in which white men could not possibly
live dunng greater part of the year
where huge snakes, and wild beasts, and

A arRL rAMrNH.

A San Francisco paper raises the
alarm that CaliforniA is suffering ga
girl famine" In every large town In
that State, with the exception Of Ala
media, there is lamentable pancity of the
gentler sex. In Los Angeles the male
population exceeds the female by 1000,
In San Jose and Stockton by 1000, in
Fresno by 260O, in Sacramento by 1000,
and in San Francisco by the startling
number Of 10000. Perhaps half of the
excess in these cases is due to the Chi
nese population, which consists mainly
of adult males, but after making liberal
allowance for this element, there still re-
mains an immense preponderanoe of
Caucasslans of the sterner sex. The
same thing is true of all the new West
ern States. Montana has two men to one
woman. Unless this peculiar disparity
in numbers is soon recti6ed, thousands
of men in that section of the country are
doomed to lives Of involuntary bachelor

Proper Breathing Movements.

| think it is evident that the proper de-
velopment and expansion of the lungs by
means of well regulated breathing must be
regarded as of the greatest value in the pre-
vention and in the treatment of the mac
tive stages of pulmonary consumption. The
more simple the method the more effective
and practical will be the results which flow
from it. Among the many exercises which
are recommended for this purpose the fol-
lowing movements are very valuable. The
arms, being used as levers, are swung back
ward as far as possible on level with the
shoulders during each inspiration and
brought together in front on the same level
during each expiration or the hands are
brought together above the head while in
spring and gradually brought down along
side the body while expiring. A deep breath
must be taken with each inspiration and
| held until the arms are gradually moved for
ward or downward, or longer in order to
make both methods fully operative
| Another very serviceable chest exercise is
to take deep inspiration, and during ea-
piration in loud voice count or sing as
long as possible. A male person with a
good chest capacity can count up to 60 or
so, while in "a female, even with good lungs,
this power is somewhat reduced. Practice
of this sort will slowly develop the lungs,
and the increased ability to count longer is
measure of the improvement going on
within the chest. Or, again, the taking of
six or eight full and deep breaths in success
sion every hour during the day, either
while sitting at work or while walking
out in the open air, will have a very bene-
fetal effect-Dr. Thomas J. Mays in Cen
tury

Prince Rupert's Drops.

The most wondrous wonder of the glass
makers art is the result of philosophical
experiment and is known to scientists as
prince Ruperts drop" These glass drops
known by princes name are simply the
drippings of molten glass pear or tadpole
shaped, their curious properties being the
result of their being suddenly glazed and
the pores covered by coming in contact with
water when at white heat One of these
drops" can be removed from the water
and smartly hammered upon the larger
end without causing a fracture, but if the
smaller end has but the slightest atom
clipped from it's surface the whole object
instantly bursts with explosive violence
and disappears as fine dust.
The theory of this phenomenon is that its
particles when in fusion are in state of
repulsion, but upon being dropped into the
water its superfices are annealed and the
atoms return into the power of each others
attraction, the inner particles, still in a
state of repulsion, being confined within
their outward covering,-St Louis Repub-

In the National Tribune, Comrade
Barron, of Co. A, SD H., writing Of
the expedition from Bolivar, Tenn. to
Grand Junction. Sept. 20 to %, 1862.
by the First Brigade of Gen. Hurlbut's
Division, under command of Lauman,
is mistaked in saying the expedition
took place in 1868. He is, however.
correct in stating that some Of the I'd
Ill. Cav. furnished Gen. Lauman with
the information that the enemy were
in force near Grand Junction, where
upon the brigade hurriedly counter
marched back to Bolivar, and it
vas none too quick about it either.
If the expedition was intended to pre-
vent Won Dorm joining forces wi b
Gen. Price, it was q stupid maneuver,
as Van Dorm and Price were very
nearly together at that time, and
within a few days afterward fought
together at the battle OF the Hatchie,
where they were beaten and compelled
to retreat in an unseemly hurry, more
precipitate than the counter-march OF
the First Brigade. Comrade Palmer,
of the SD ILL.,, is correct as to the
narrow escape from capture OF the
First Brigade on the occasion referred

furnished by cavalry it certainly would
have been completely ''gobbled up"
