Learn to breathe properly and system
~atioally and rhythmically and you may
overcome insomnia, weak lungs, indi-
gestion and even seasickness. This at
least is the theory, as we'll as the suc-
cessful practice of the patients of the
famous DR.. Oertel of Munich, who has
elaborated a system Of breathing that
he has set forth in a large work on the
subject. The breathing is done by CONT,
or rather by steps-so many full deep
breaths to a step, the number being
regulated by the nature of the place
where the walk is taken, whether it be
level or an ascent or descent. The speed
is regulated by the ailment and condi-
ton Of the patient.

WARRANTS CAT Q
Pussy Liked the Poet Well Enough, bn.
She Stuck to the Locomotive.


Pussy Liked the Poet Well Enough, bu.
She Stuck to the Locomotive.
"You have heard of the railroad dog,
OF course, said Cy Warman. EVERY
body has, but I'll venture to say that
you never heard of Il railway cat. Well.
l used to have one. You know | used
to fire on the Rio Grande Western. 1
got mixed up with one of those big
mountain climbers in a wreck one time,
and after that I quit the business cold
and turned poet. Well, now for the tab
by.
"You know the exploits of the rail
road dog have been ~recounted in divers
places-how he saved a train and the
lives of the passengers from a fathom-
less pit or a dark yawning abyss and all
that. Those are all stories Of the rail
roader, of which the dog is the hero of
the hour. My yarn is not like those old
stories, for pussy was too we'll trained
to do anything so rash as to save a train
and thereby endanger her own life. In
the first place, puss was a pet Of the
landlady where most of the railroad
men boarded, and III consequence the
cat took a liking 10 railroading.
"She was u remarkable traveller, and
she preferred the tender of a freight 10.
connective to Pullman palace car. When
the train would have a long wait at a
side track or station, Miss Piss would
descend from her perch ON the pile Of
coal, OF if the weather was inclement
from the seat of the engineer, where she
would sit looking out on the track be-
yond and go in hunt Of mice, and if it
was lunch hour would hunt up the
kitchen door of the depot eating house.
She was a great ~favorite and always had
the best the house afforded. She was a
beautiful cat. Her fur was jet black,
and when the engine was running down
the steep grades Of the mountains she
would hold her place on the top of the
tender with all the grace and dignity
imaginable, and if the wind was blow
ing she would ruf1e up her black coat
of fur as though entering a protest.
Puss never missed u trip all the time /
was on the road after she took the rail
road fever.
"When l left the Western, puss had
to choose between her owner and the
big black monster that had carried her
so many miles. I remember the day 1
went out to bid the big inanimate OBJ
ject goodby. I was very much attached
to it. Why not? We had gone through a
wreck together, and it had received the
brunt of a collision with a big rock. 1
looked at the engine, which was steam
ed up ready to start on its trip, and
soon saw puss mount to her perch on
the coal. I spoke tendeIly to her, and
she arched her back and purred know
ingly. When / bid the boys goodby and
called her, she came part way, looked
up at me in an undecided manner and
finally gave a pitiful meow and walked
of toward the engine again. She kept
up her habit for several years after that
and finally was crushed to death i'll a
wreck. She was found curled up on the
box by the side of the inanimate form
of the engineer. Both had died at the
post of duty. "-Ohicago Inter Ocean.

EvadInr tho Press Gang.

1t was not an easy matter to get
married in press gang times. Robert
Miller, o Kirkwall man, found this to
be the case. He returned from the
whalefshing one autumn, fully resolved
that he should take unto himself a wife.
But the press gang got on his track, and
he soon saw that if he was to get his
hearts desire he would require to exert
both pluck and perseverance. At length
the fateful night arrived. The company
had gathered, and the minister was in
the house of the bride, prepared to pro-
coed with the ceremony, when the
dreaded press gang made its appearance.
Ladies are not unusually of a belliger-
ent disposition, but when they saw, as
in this instance, the likelihood of a
marriage being spoiled by interlopers
they rose up in wrath against them.
They assailed the members of the press
gang both with tongue and missiles, so
that these gentlemen were glad to beat
a hasty retreat. After this little episode
a back window of the house was lifted,
and the bridegroom, dressed in woman 8
clothes, bounded into the room. The
doors having been barricaded to prevent
a surprise, the Clergyman proceeded to
perform the ceremony, and surely no
bridegroom was ever married in such a
strange garbl Miller was neverecap-
tured. He lived to a ripe old age and
was the first beadle Of the Kirkwall
Free church. Chambers Journal

Money makes a heap of difference in
