Yawn Al You Please.

According to the current ideas yawning
in good society is an improper sign of
weariness; according TO the teachings of
physiology, it is long-drawn, forcible in
spiration followed by shorter respiration
according to DR.. Naegeli, it is one of ma
tures many remedies, the proper applica-
ton ofwhich depends upon good judgment.
In yawning, not only the muscles which
move the lower jaw are used, but also the
breathing muscles of the chest, and be who
yawns to his hearts content also raises and
extends the arms In the deepest inspira-
tion the chest remains extended for short
time, the eyes are almost or entirely closed,
the ears somewhat raised, the nostrils dilat-
ed. Insideihe mouth, the tongue becomes
round and arched, the palate stiffy stretched,
and the uvula is raised, almost entirely
closing the space between the nose and
throat. At the beginning of the ipspira-
tion cracking noise is heard in the ears,
proof that the duct leading to the hearing
also succumbs to this stretching.
If the yawning has reached the deepest
point it will require from one to one and
half seconds for it to become noticeable to
the hearing. In order to observe this, let
one place himself at a sufficient distance
from clock, so that its ticking will not be
easily heard and yawn deeply. During this
deep breathing the sound of the clock is
not perceptible to the most careful listening.
All this simply goes to show that yawning
sets number of muscles to work, and par
ticularly those which are not directly sub
ject TO the will
Although one yawnihg does not present
very agreeable appearance, it is very
agreeable to himself, for the stretching of
the muscles causes feeling of comfort; it
acts like massage, and is the most natural
gymnastics of the lungs imaginable. DR..
Naegeli. therefore, advises people not to
concern themselves with SO called deceney,
but every morning and evening, and as often
as possible, to exercise the lungs and all the
muscles of respiration by yawning and
stretching, as many chronic lung troubles
may thus be prevented.
pr. Naegeli orders the patient troubled
with too much wax in the ear, accompanied
with pain, to yawn often and deeply. The
pain will soon disappear. He also, in the
case of nasal catarrh, inflammation of the
palate, sore throat and earaehe, orders the
patient as often as possible during each
day te yawn from six to ten times success
sively, and Immediately afterwards to swal-
low. The result will be surprising. IF
one looks upon yawning as natural mas
sage for certain organs he will reach sat
isfactory explanation Of its curative proper
/ ties.

wonders Of olden Times.

Nineveh was ii miles long and miles
wide, the whole city surrounded by a wall
100 feet high, SO thick as to furnish ample
room for three chariots to be driven abreast
around the top. Babylon was so miles
within the walls, which were IS feet thick
and of the same height as those of Nineyeh.
This monster wall had II openings or gates,
which were closed by enormous brass shut
tiers every evening at suudown. The Tenn
pie Of Diana at Ephesus, which was about
an even hundred years in building, was 45O
feet to the first support of the roof The
largest of the pyramids was originally 4Sl
feet high and S53 on the sides, the base
covering | l acres. The stones, which are
in 20s layers, average 60 feet in length

for 20 years in fashioning the Titanic pile.

size that no known modern machinery
would be equal to the task Of taking them
down, to say nothing Of putting them in
their present positions.

The Economical Mule.


The mule is ready TO begin work two or
three years earlier than the horse. He can
be put to pretty heavy pulling when he is
3 years old, and from that TIME until he Is
40, if be has fair treatment aud does not
meet with an accident, he is not likely to
lose any time. He is not subject to the
many ailments to which the horse is VIC
tim, at least to any great degree, He lives
about twice as long and his actual period
of usefulness is nearly three times as long,
for the horse is really not fit for heavy ser
vice until he is ) years old, or after be is 20,
while a mule will often do good service for
40 years, and they have been known to
work so, accordingto one writer, without
being turned out at any time during all
that long period,
Like the ass, the mule will live upon
next to nothing, and during all his 40 years
of hard service a mule will not require
and generally does not get-half the feed
necessary to sustain horse during his
much shorter period Of usefulness. Jack

Historical Relics in the Mohawk
Y Valley.

Every day people travelling on the Cen
trail Hudson trains point to tall, majestic
marble shaft which towers above a low
range of cultivated hills west of the city of
Utica, and inquire as to It's meaning. 1t
NAV appear strange to New Workers that
so many people should be ignorant of the
location of the monument which was
erected number of years ago to commence
rate the battle Of 0riskany. Yet it is a
fact that inquiries about it are often the
case The Mohawk Valley is rich with
other historical signs, many of which are
veritable landmarks that have stood for
more than century, and are treasured as
unbroken links connecting the past with
the present. While they are indeed valu-
able TO iineal descendants, they are not a
great deal less interesting to the thousands
Of strangers who pass ever the great four
track highway to the west, when once
attention is called to them For instance,
there is the Frey house, probably the old

walls that greet the eye Of the traveller as
the train is pulling away from Palatine
station for the west, were up in l73S. A
short distance beyond is the Ehle house,

War: then there Is old Fort johnson. in

Where Anchors are Made.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
'sThe little town of Camden, Maine,
ought to have its name changed to Hope"
said dealer in ship supplies and stores,
"for it turns out more of the emblems of
hope than all the other places in this coun-
try combined All of the stately ships
that come out of the Maine shipyards look
to that little village Oh the Penobscot for
their anchors Scores of sturdy smiths
swing their hammers day after day all the
year long in the black, smoky, long, low
Camden shops, where only anchors are
forged. Sometimes the triphammers are
going all night about the forges, and the
blazing of the fires and the ring of the
hammers are seen and heard for miles
away Thousands of tons of old iron are
purchased by these queer establishments
every year, for anchors are forged largely
from cast off iron. The material is cut
into small pieces by great shears that clip
through the iron as easily as cheese knife
slices cheese. The pieces are bound into
bundles by strong wires, and are then fused
in the forges. Then they are pounded
and welded into the various parts of the
anchor, some workmen fashioning the rings,
others shaping the fukes, Others hammer
ing out the palms, and others forging the
shauks. Then the completers take the
different parts and fuse and weld them into
the finished anchor Anchors Of all sizes
and weights are turned out from the noisy
shops of Camden, the graceful little pleas
ure boat anchor, weighing but few pounds,
as well as the great $4,000 and 10000
pound anchor of the biggest ships.
"There are many interesting relics al

and sturdy whalers. What is left of the

Oh, what is the comfort. and where are the joys

Away ye vain trHes that tempt but TO woe
Where Folly her banner enticingly waves.
But give me the charm ofa sweet, tranquil home
Where life's pure delights gently sparkle and flow
Like clear placid stream that we see calmly come
With its bright crystal tide to the river below;
Oh give me the pleasures that with us remain.
Affections dear treasures neer rust and decay
Unlike the illusions so transient and vain
That glitter a moment-then vanish away.
And give me the breath Of the soft evening breeze
And the many sweet odors that nature supplies,
The rustic of leaves in the branches of trees,
And the song of the bird on light wing 1t flies
The gush of the fountain, refreshingly cool
From the rocks brightly flowing, pure, sparkling
and clear,
And the last beams of evening. beginning to lull
The world into rest as the night draweth near.
The green of the field and the beauty of flowers.
The landscape adorned with its bright summer
The leaves where the pearldrops hang after the
showers
When nature her image OF loyeliness views,
The pale, mellow moonbeams, the stars in the sky
AI-all bring bright inspiration to me;
Whatever the future may give or deny,
All these are about me- abundant and free.
Like the rosebud, hafopened hope reshens to life
Then fades like the rose that is cut from the stem;
Come joy or come sorrow, come pleasure or grief,
Let heaven make me patient. submissive and

For life has its brightness though ali is not fair,
The world has its. sunshine, its clouds and its
