How We Breathe.

Men and women do not breathe
alike. In a woman the breathing is
from the thorax, or chest, while in a
man il is mainly from the diaphragm,
which is lower down. This peculiar
difference is SO marked that il is pos
sible 10 recognize by it woman dis
gused as a man, although the dis
guise may be faultless in other res
poets. Most Psychologists say that
this difference is not due TO sex, but
owing 10 artificial conditions, such as
the wearing of corsets.
A Philadelphia doctor made Sc
ries of Investigations on the subject
a short time ago, and from this it
would seem that where the body is
unconhned the stomach moves i'm
breathing, but whore corsets are
worn the breathing moves the chest.
Eighty-two girls, from 10 TO 22 years
of age, were examined, half Of whom
were Of pure Indian blood, the others
being OF mixed descent. Scventy-tive
breathed from the diaphragm, and
the other seven from the thorax or
side. The latter belonged to compara-
lively civilized tribes New York

The following amusing story OF how
big dog championed the cause Of a
little one was told by William Fitz-
gerald OF Boston, at the Southern last
evening:
II knew n farmer, who lived few
miles from Boston, who used 20 come
to the city every day to sell produce.
This man had two dogs, one big,
powerful mastiff. which used to guard
the premises while the farmer was
away, and the other bright little
terrier that always rode TO market on
the seat with his master.
"One day when the farmer stopped
at house on rhe way TO deliver some
vegetables, a large dog rushed out of
the yard, seized the little terrier by
the neck, and would have killed him
but for the timely Interference of his
master The next day, when a mile
or SO on his way TO market, the man
discovered that the big dog was fol-
lowing the wagon. He ordered him
back, but the dog would not obey; he
cut him with his whip, but still the
dog remained resolute. Finally the
farmer gave it up and continued on
his way.
when they came to the scene OF
the conflict of the previous day, the
J same large dog few out again TO at
tack the little one. Whereupon the
big dog, who had concealed himself
under the wagon to await develop
ments, fell upon the enemy with such
fury that il was with difficulty he
could be restrained from making an
end of him altogether. All this time
the little terrier was perched upon
the seat almost barking his heart out
for JOY. After the dogs were separat-
ed, the big one evidently regarded his
mission as fulfilled, as he at once
trotted home by himself"

Brother and Sister Reunited.

"A brother and sister living within
ten miles Of each other for twenty
seven years, just north Of the city,
often met and conversed, but each
supposed the other had been long
dead, and there was no recognition
until an old family acquaintance
brought them together few days
ago, and told them Of their relation

Smith, of Lockland, and the sister,

those thoroughfares. Mr.. Smith has

Defense Of the Mongrel.

The cur has never been in fashion,
but he, nevertheless, like any other
low-born creature, sometimes gets
into the best society. There are ours
and ours. The plantation "coon
dog" the mongrel hound that is
really afraid OF a good-sized pos
sum, and the country sportsman S
bird dog" cross-bred setter that
points meadow larks and walks over
coveys Of quail, are not OF much use
in the world But the good cur, the
good-natured, ugly old nondescript,
that wins his way to your esteem in
spite of his plebeian origin and sim
ply through his good qualities is not
to be despised. A great lover OF dogs
and one who has lived among them
all his life was heard to make the
confession the other day that in all
his experience with dogs the noblest
one he had ever known was mon

Tears as . NJ MsdieIne.

The Persians are the only people
in the world that still adhere TO the
old custom of bottling tears. In that
country it constitutes an important
part in the funeral ceremonies per-
formed over the dead. Each OF the
mourners are presented with sponge
with which to mop the face and eyes,
and after the burial these are taken
by priest who squeezes the tears
into bottles. Mourners' tears are
believed 10 be the most efficacious
remedy that can be applied in several
forms OF Persian diseases. The Gus
tom Of bottling tears is mentioned in
the Bible. See Psalm LVI, s.

a Valuable Collection.

DR.. Samuel Dixon, Of Philadelphia,
has recently secured for the Academy
OF Sciences of that city collection
OF lepidoptera, which is said to be one
Of the most complete and valuable
in the world. II cost $40, 900, and
contains more than l6, 900 specimens
of butterflies and moths, which are
arranged in some 400 glass cases.
Among the specimens are the owl
butterfly, with wings representing an
owls head the cypris butterfly, and
a large Trojan specimen from Borneo,
which is said to be the only one in
America. A curious species is the
deadth s-head moth, with its perfect
skull and crossbones outlined on its
back. There are also chair-winged
specimens, x-shaped flies, transpar-
ent-winged butterflies, a species OF n
moth from South America, known as
the Erebus Strix," and very rare
Agrias butterfly from the Amazon
regions. The collection, which was
obtained at low figure, is TO be paid
for by popular subscription.-lN New

Don't Blame the Cook

If baking powder is not uniform in strength,
SO that the same quantity will always do the same
work, no one can know how to use it, and uni
formly good light food cannot be produced with it.
All baking powders except Royal, because
improperly compounded and made from inferior
materials lose their strength quickly when the can
is opened for At subsequent bakings there
will be noticed falling off in strength. The food
is heavy, and the flour, eggs and butter wasted.
1t is always the that the consumer suffers
in pocket if not in health, by accepting any sub
stitute for the Royal Baking Powder. The Royal
is the embodiment of all the excellence that it is
possible to attain in absolutely pure powder
1t is always strictly reliable. 1t is not only more

other powder will, until used, and make more

having the shack burned over him TO
hide the tracks of the murderer. The
coroner's- jury that held an inquest over
the body brought in a verdict that the
cause of death was unknown, but this
was far from being satisfactory to
friends of the murdered man or the
Great Northern railroad company, as it
was obvious, from the circumstances
surrounding the case that Skinner met
with foul play. The Great Northern
detailed its most astute detective,

Culbertson last Wednesday. In speak

arrived at Culbertson l found the town
very much agitated. Every man seemed
to make it his special duty TO find the
assassin and avenge the cowardly
murder. They had about fastened the

wild talk of lynching. Advice from
cooler heads, however, prevailed, and
the officers brought their man 10 Jail
