For many years my occupation took
me to crowded political and labor
meetings, generally held in rooms DIES.
titute of any NEAR OF ventilation,
| The heat was intense, the air fetid and
poisonous. l have left such meetings
bathed in perspiration and plunged
into the chill of a winters night,
thereby running the risk of catching
| the severest cold. Yet, strange to say,
I enjoyed a singular immunity from
such ~aggravating ailments. At the
first touch of cold air I took a deep in
spiration and then held my breath for
half a minute, in the meantime walk
ing as fast as I could. During that
half minute the pores Of the skin were
closed against the chilling atmosphere,
and by the time the lungs called for
refrigeration the body had consider
ably cooled, and the risk of a chill was
over.
I recommend this practice to public
speakers, vocalists, entertainers, and
those who are obliged to frequent UNI
duly heated rooms. In my own case
the practice never failed, and, although
I fully believed in it's value, l never
understood the reason of it until a
learned scientist came forward with
the remarkable theory that while hold
ing the breath the skin could be main
tanned impenetrable to the sting of a
bee. -Providence Journal.

The New York Financial Chronicle,
a leading paper of it's class, thinks
that better times are ahead. It says:
'Slow but evident progress a%ppearsto
be making towards the revival of our
industries. Every indication con-
tinues as favorable as could be ex-
pected. The close of the year is al
ways the quiet season. Work, too, in
many and prominent departments can
not start up again before spring opens.
Notable instances are the building
trade, which received such a serious
setback during the summer and fall,
and railroad expenditures, which were
ut the came time contracted within the
smallest possible compass. These de-
partments of our activities relate to
operations which cover e vast field of
enterprise, touching very many
trades, and yet but little new move
ment in them can be anticipated for
several months. In face of these facts
there have been undoubted signs of
an increased movement of iron.
especially in the West, with q better
tone in the markets. The demand for
general merchandise, too, is also
widening"
The Opelousas courier., 1894-02-03

The differences between city and
country ways have been illustrated in
q curious manner by an experiment of
the Postofice Department. Under the
last administration about fifty villages
and small towns, ranging in popula-
tion from 800 to 1000 inhabitants,
were picked out for a trial Of the sys-
tenn of distributing mail matter by
carrier, as in large cities. At first
general satisfaction was manifested,
and the receipts of many of the Offices
for a while showed an increase, indi-
eating that the convenience stimulated
correspondence; but as the novelty
wore off, the residents very generally
tired of the change, and returned to
the old practice Of going to the Office
themselves for the mail. A majority OF
the people would apparently rather
have their letters lie in the office until
they call for them, and thus have on
9 for frequent visits to the centre
Of local activity, than have their mail
delivered every day at their houses.
The carrier in such places is really a
foe to social activity, as ssgoing to the
postofice' has always been a recog-
nized ear Of mixing with men, and
it's occasional Inconvenience is prefer
able to the loss Of what is often only d
pretext for making a break in the mo-

Does anyone know that we have no
such thing as a National holiday in
America? asks the Chicago Herald.
Not even the Fourth of July can claim
that title, although it is a legal holt
day in all the States. The President
issues a proclamation calling upon the
people to keep Thanksgiving Day, but
he cannot make it a legal holiday out
side of the Territories. Aspecial pro-
clamation must be issued by the Gov
ernor of each State, else the banks
could not close, although business

NJ SONGS,

My love a song of Scotland sang,
One merry; merry day
And in my ears the pibroch rang,
l heard the pipers play;
I saw the plaided clansmen meet
Blue was the morning sky
The heather blossomed at my feet;
A highland king was l.
My love a song Of Norway sang,
An old Germanic theme,
And where the mystic Eddas sprang
wandered in a dream.
I heard a chant of Runic name,
Where Miners fountains shine,
And with the knights Of Siegfred came,
An Grant of the Rhine.
My love she sang a song of Spain;
wandered long and far,
And in the court of Charlemagne
watched the morning star.
I listened to the redondel,
Tones of Legs glamour,
The canzo and the pastorel-
I was 4 troubadour.
My love she sang a song of love;
Her words were sweet and low,
AS though the echoes from above
Had strayed TO me below.
No more my fancy wandered free.
Where time and change have part;
The wide, wide world had come to me,
The morning of the heart.

End Of a Famous briaand's Career

The inhabitants of the province OF
Phocis, in Greece, have heard with Joy
of the surrender of Margonis, the
most notorious brigand of the PENN.
sula, about whose career and deeds
numerous legends abound. The drastic
measures adopted by the new Greek
Ministry against the bandits made life
so difficult and precarious for the re-
nowned chief of the Parnassus district
that he was forced to give himself up.
A letter of the brigand's wife printed
below had also great effect upon him.
The Ministry are directed,
in fact, not so much against the robbe1
chiefs themselves as against their fami-
lies, relatives and friends. They have
been surprisingly effective in Kidding
the country of the pest which has made
life in certain provinces of the CLASH
cal land almost a burden. All persons
supposed to have relations with the
outlaws are sent to lonely places, where
they are under the constant super
vision of the soldiers and police. It
is, therefore, not surprising that the
family and relatives of the bandits en-
deavor to induce them to surrender.
81 have been informed" wrote the
wife of Margonis, ''that / am
to- be imprisoned on the Island of
serpho. If you really have any love
for me and our child, free us by Civ
ing yourself up to the courts. If you
do not do this, the moment I place
my feet on the ship which is to take
me to the foreign shore, I shall spring
into the sea and drown myself and
child. 1 have suffered imprisonment
and all its terrors for you but I shall
not be able to bear being carried away
by rough soldiers, the daughter of
Kassuppa, the wife of Margonis. Live
in your mountains and enjoy life"
Three days after the receipt of the
missive, the brigand delivered himself
up. Margonis was a kind of wander
ing knight who protected the weak,
and in his fashion wished to Danish all
injustice from the world. He had not
committed many murders. He built
houses in his home and saved a fortune
for his wife and child. He never failed
to take interest in the elections.
knowing, as do all bandits, that it was
his interest to do so.
With Margonis, his best friend,
Kapralos, also surrendered himself.
But the Greeks are not yet safe, as
Dull Papialirzopulo and Bells are
still at large. The prize for the heads
of each of these brigands was recently
raised by the Government from 1000
to 10, 600 drachma. It is believed that
they, too, will soon be harmless. New

he has to have some sort sort of outfit,
but this he makes himself. You can

He takes a platform against which
