Breathing.

Learn to breathe properly and system
atically and rhythmically and you may
overcome insomnia, weak lungs, indi-
gestion and even seasickness. This at
least is the theory, as well as the sue
cessful practice Of the patients Of the
famous DR.. Oertel Of Munich, who has
elaborated system of breathing that
he has set forth in large work on the
subject. The breathing is done by count,
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 oondi-
ton Of the patient.

will be promoted by this policy.
The people care nothing about his
motive. 1t is the fact that they
look at, and the policy which they
reprobate. When he was elected
our exports exceeded our imports,
as our revenues also exceeded our
OUTLAWS, but he has reversed this
order of things. Every English
mill owner has been made glad by
this reversal, and our own people
are the victims of business and
industrial depressions They don't
like it, and they want everybody
to know it.
Then, again, when the treasury
needed money, the President did
not 60 to the American people for
it, but to syndicate having the
London Rothschild at its head,
and put this great republic in the
same category as the monarchies
and empires Of Europe as a
dependent on these foreign bankers.
The election of Tuesday again
serves notice on all whom it may
concern, at home and abroad, that
the American people will very
soon now put their public affairs,
their business relations, and their
industrial energies back on an
American basis. That is the
bottom meaning of this new and
still greater Republican victory at
the polls.-Lntrr Ocean.

Condition of Trade.

1t has been a broken week. and just
before and after elections in the most
important States operations rarely have
much significance. Business may be
largely affected in time, but as yet there
is scarcely any indication what the
effect will be. Stocks and products are
weaker, and there is some decrease in
the number of establishments at work
both for reasons having nothing to do
with questions of government. The
approach of a session of Congress
commonly lowers prices Of some Trust
stocks, and no one now expects either
monetary legislation or an issue of
bonds to initiate prices. The controlling
power at present is the effort to re-
adjust prices after the remarkable rise
of last summer in important materials
and products, with the struggle Of great
combinations to prevent decline.

The Stevens Journal has the
following suggestion to offer about
an inefficient Governor. The best
way to treat Governor, or any
other official who has disregarded
the platform upon which he was
elected, is to drop him over the
tailboard and to let him run along
behind the wagon for time. He
will do the party much less harm
in that place, even if he don't like
his job very we'll, than when occu-
plying a place in the drivers seat. y

STORING POTATOES.

methods of storing potatoes
intended for market vary accord
ing to climatic condition in the
several sections of the country"
says an exchange. "In the south,
especially in the northern belt of
southern States and in the southern
belt of northern States potatoes
are not stored freely in the house
cellars as in the north. Indeed,
cellars do not prevail, except in
the form of half underground
structures built near the house on
dry spots. The portions above
the surface soil are banked up and
the roof is covered with soil. In
to these a doorway enters on the
end. The dangers that lurk in
decaying vegetables are removed
from the house. In sections where
the climate is warmer than New
England, potatoes are stored in
the field when early sales are
made. At first straw is put over
them in such way as to lap and
throw the water off. Piles are
made either round or long. Then
dry place is secured, the ground
is plowed out to light depth and
dirt thrown out, forming trench.
After cold weather sets in, the dirt
is used to throw over the potatoes.
Vent spots are made along the
pile. The chief point to be
secured is cool atmosphere, not
over moist. Moisture and warmth
are fatal to the keeping quality of
potatoes. Many farmers place
them on the dirt floor of the cellar
but it is better to elevate them on
floor that permits current Of
air to circulate beneath them. Mr.
Terry, who is quoted on questions
pertaining to potatoes as an
authority, houses his in bushel
boxes laid over each other in tier
fashion. This allows of a move
ment Of air through the mass Of
boxes and to some extent among
the potatoes. 1t is opposed to
ready heating and sweating and
the conditions that further the rot
ting of potatoes. In these days of
universal discussion of bacteria,
germs and microbes it is needless
to say that moisture and warmth
are coadjutors in the development
of these destructive forms Of plant
life. Warmth, too, is inimical to
the germ vitality of the potato,
especially where or when it is
alternated with cold, inducing the
start of the germ or sprouts in
case of the potato, and their
certain breaking when handled
and the consequent loss of part
of the food nourishment of the
mother plant"

The w. H. ComstOck Co.
Dear Sirs:-For II years my wife was
martyr to that dread disease, Dyspep-
STA. Nothing relieved her; physicians
were consulted and medical skill tried
without avail. One doctor advised a
change of climate, suggesting Manitoba
as desirable place. We acted upon
this advice, coming here two years ago.
The change Of climate wrought change
indeed, but for the worse, as she was
soon confined to bed, and under the
care of two doctors, who asserted she
could live but a month longer. a
neighbor came to see her one day who
had been reading your Almanac. She
told her of the testimonials she read in
it, of the great amount of good they
were doing, and advised her to try a
box of DR.. Morse's Indian Root Pills.
She did SO, was relieved, kept improv-
ing, and is now able to do house work,
and continues the use of Morse's Pills.
Yours gratefully,
GEO. Dunn.

England Prospecting at Our Expense
Financial News, London Oct. s.

IlnaDciaI News, Oct. ..
The great prosperity Of the
wool trades has, fortunately, more
than Offset the retrogression in
cotton, though that reflection
brings small consolation to Lam
cashire. The total gain for the
nine months under yarns and
taxtlles is S16,4S8,375, and as the
value of wooden tissues taken by
the United States has been about
S4,75O,Ooo and of worsted tissues
nearly $I5,ooo,oco greater than in
1894, no further search for the
origin Of the Improvement in the
trade returns need be made. The
lowering of the American Tariff
has been our salvation, and it can
not be said that we have shown
much reciprocity; for instead of
taking the increased value of our
shipments across the Atlantic in
kind, we seem to have bought less
American produce. 1t is needless
to go beyond our own Board of
Trade returns to find an explana-
ton of a good deal of the none
tary trouble in the United States.
Practically every penny that
was subscribed here toward the
recent American loan has been got
back through the expansion in the
exports of woolens and worsteds;
but the United States has not
confined her increased purchases
to those articles. Last month she
bought less raw wool than in Sep
TENDER, 1894, but had to pay more
for it. She took more cotton
pieces, more iron more alkali, and
more of sundry articles which
need not be specified. In some
instances the rapid growth of the
preceding months resulted in a
slight check in September, but in
all these cases the figures Of the
nine months show big advance
in 1894. On the other hand, we
have paid a good deal less for
American wheat, flour, bacon,
hams, cheese, tallow and cotton, to
mention only those articles in
which the contraction is most
apparent.
The fact that the Argentine
Republic heads the United States
in respect Of maize is not without
significance. Thus the trade
balance between the States and
this country is moving rapidly
against the former. and it would
require large and regular trans
ference of securities from New
York to London to redress this
tendency and restore the former
position. And with India, Argen-
tina and Australia keeping up and
even improving their position as
purveyors of wheat to this country,
with Argentina sending more as
the United States sends less tallow,
it will not be easy for the Amerf-
cans to regain their old footing in
our market. Last month India
and Argentina sent us more wheat
than the United States, and Russia
and Roumania together also
topped the American figures.
These all are factors that must be
borne in mind in judging the out
look in the United States, and it is
unfortunate that they are SO con-
sistently overlooked in that
country itself. The increase in
the purchases of British manufac-
lures may not be maintained; but,
on the other hand, the United
States must count on the competi-
ton in wheat and maize becoming
more and more intense as time
| goes on.
