An Easy Method Of Keeping Warm

Scientific american.
should like to call attention to ao
easy method of warming ones self
when other and more common means
are not available 1t is a method that
l suppose is we'll enough known to the
profession, but probably not often used.
l allude to warming the body by mere
ly taking deep inspirations.
On one very cold afternoon last VIM
ter though walking briskly along, l
was uncomfortably cold; feet and
hands we're very cold, and my ears SO
chilled as frequently to require the appli
cation Of my heavily gloved hands. In
addition, the whole surface of the skin
was unpleasantly chilled "creeps" ev-
er and anon running up and down my
spinal column and radiating thence
oyer the body and extremities IN
short, condition that every reader of
this little article has doubtless many q
time experienced. l then began tax
ing an exercise often employed before
with benefit deep forced inspirations,
holding the air as long as possible be-
fore expulsion.
After few lnhaIatlons the surface
of my body grew warmer, and gener-
al sense of comfort pervaded me.
Continuing, the next to teel the effects
Of the effort we're my previously frigid
ears. They grew agreeably warm, and
within the time required to walk three
blocks, at the previous pace, hands and
feet partook OF the general warmth.
and felt as comfortable as if the same
length of time had been passed by
glowing fire.
The happy results obtained from
this simple method are probably owing
to several causes
The cold, of course, chills the surface
of the body and contracts the sueprfi-
cial blood vessels, usually affecting first
hands, feet and ears, and afterward the
general body surface. Contraction of
the blood vessels results both in less
blood to the part and in stagnation of
the current, thus rendering the tissues
still less able to resist the cold. Deep
forced inspirations not only stimulate
the blood current by direct muscular
exertion, but also by COMPRISING and
expanding the lungs the flow of blood
is greatly hastened through this organ,
and on account of the increased
amount of oxygen inhaled, this abund-
ant supply of blood is thoroughly oxy-
genated, tissue metabolism is increased
and more heat necessarily produced
Many times unavoidable exposure,
as riding, driving, standing and the
like for longer or shorter time in the
cold, has been the cause of severe and
even fatal congestlye troubles, such as
pleurlsies and pneumonias, and a means
of quickly stimulating the tagging pc
ripheral circulation which person has
always with him, and which can be
employed without moving step, is
one that ought not to be neglected or
forgotten.-E. S. Sangree, NJ. D., Amer

LUCK"

The boy who's always Wishing
That this or that might be,
But never tries his mettle,
Is the boy that's bound to see
His plans all come to failure,
His hopes end in defeat,
For that's what comes when wishing
And working fail to meet
The boy who wishes this thing
Or that thing with a will
That spurs him on to action,
And keeps him trying still
When efforts meet with failure.
Will some day surely win,
For he works ont what he wishes,
And that's where "luck" comes in
The 'Iuck" that believe in
Is that which comes with work,
And no one ever finds it
Who's content to wish and shirk.
The men the world calls ''lucky'
Will tell you, every one,
That success comes not by wishing,
But by hard work, bravely done.

The good people of Mannsville
have been annoyed by whiskey
peddlers until their forbearance
ceased TO be a virtue last Satur-
day night. at which time they or
ganized themselves into a posse
and arrested Robert Runyon, a
notorious vendor of the illegal
ardent.
His companion, n man named
Fletcher, made good his escape.
Runyon was brought to town
and turned over to A. M. Burch,
who placed him in durance vile
to await examination.
These people who took the
matter in hand did so purely in
the interest Of their community
in the absence of any officers and
they deserve hearty commen-
dation of all law:abiding citizens
for their prompt and vigorous
action.

TRUE LOVE.
1t Is Certainly Exemplified in the Case
of a Texas Woman.

New Braunsfels, Tex, Sept 1O.-A
Well-knoWn figure in the streets of
this place is that Of a raw-bOned old
horse drawing cart in which is seated
man and woman Of strange, and
even romantic, history, in spite Of their
shabby unpicturesQueneSs today. They
are both of them over fifty years old,
and have been in this country now
for nearly thirty years. Their fellow
c0untrymen, who knew them in CIR
many, say that at the time of the
F'rancO-PruSSian war the man, who
was young lawyer of considerable
talent, was conscripted and obliged TO
serve in the German army, although
he was just about to be married.
He returned home after the war to
hear that his fance was on the eve
of marriage with a former lover, and
without pausing to inquire into the
truth of the report made his way at
once to the girls home and found his
rival with her. The man. whose guilty
conscience did not eXonerate him of
an attempt to w:n the girls favor,
broke and ran a. the sight of the in
furiated lover, leaving the girl to face
him alone.
She was so frightened that she could
only stammer out excuses, and mad

DIR. HELMHOLTZ IS DEAD.
He Was a Noted German Physicist


Berlin. Sept. 1O.-Pro. Herman Won
Helmholtz, who was recently stricken
with paralysis, died Yesterday. aged
"a,
Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand Helm
holtZ was born in Potsdam, Aug. 81
1871, and when II years oud entered
the royal military school at Berlin,
where he took up the study of medi-
cine. paying particular attention to BIZ
illogical researches. In 1S49 he be-
came professor physiology in the uni
versity of Konigsberg and soon after
began his famous investigations of IA
pidity of propagation OF nerve eXcita-
ton. He was the first to demonstrate
that thought is not instantaneous and
to give correct explanation of why the
pupil of the eye appears to be black
In 1851 he invented the ophthalmo-
scope, an instrument by which the in
terror Of the eye can be observed and
which has done more than any other
one thing to facilitate the work of ocr-
lists.
He is the author of two well-known
scientific works. One, Handbuch der
PhysiOlOgischen Optik, and the other,
Die Lehre Won der Tonenpfndungen,
in which latter he throws the light of
natural science upon the principles of
music, and explains the cause of mu-
steal harmony. He invented the meth
cd of analysing sound by the use of
the resonators, which are hollow bodies
in which the volume Of air vibrates in
the presence of a previously deter
mined sound. The French academy
admitted him to membership in 1870,
and it was said at the time that he
was the greatest scientist of the age.

THE NEW II. p. CODE.
IT is ADOPTED BY THE SUPREME
LODGE
The Plan to Raise Funds for the Py
THAN University Meets With
Favor

Washington, Sept. 10-At a session
of the supreme lodge of Knights Of
Pythias Saturday, a new code of
statutes was adopted after the third
reading. A protest was made by Col
HerSkell of the first battalion, LIST reg
iment Of Indiana, against the decis. on
of the local committee in Withholding
the prize from his organization be-
cause it was the only one to compete
but the supreme lodge decided that it
had no jurisdiction in the matter. A
plan to raise funds for the Pytnian
university at Gallatin, Tenn. was
adopted and under it a subscription of
% cents will be requested from each
knight. The new code of rules makes
the supreme lodge and uniform rank
independent of each other. 1t is not
certain that they will meet at the
same place hereafter
