made out schedule for them to go by
and they refused to live up to IT, Last

Breathing Carbonic Acid.

1t is well known that very much lar
ger proportion of carbOnic acid than usu-
ally exists in the atmosphere can be in
hailed with impunity, but only recently
have we been aware of the large quantity
that can be brcathCd without actual dan
ger. Ordinary fresh air contains but
parts in 10, O00 yet the carbonic acid las
to reach per cent, or 100 times the usual
quantity, before any difference is noticed
in the respiration. AS the percentage rises
the person breathing It begins to pant,
but with air containing as much rs 10
per cent only headache is produced, al
though the painting is violent. The actual
danger point is not reached until the car
bonic acid rises to Is per cent.
Foul air in room where number of
persons are present is not dangerous on
account Of the carbonic acid it contains,
but owing to q poisonous organic sub
stance given off with the breath. Car
bonic acid is not IA direct poison, but when
the danger point is reached the air can
take none from the blood in the lungs, so
that the fires of the human engine are OK
tinguished by their own smoke, as it were.
1t is really wonderful what the human
engine will endure for candle goes out
when the oxygen in the air sinks to 1876
instead of the usual 81 per cent, and the
carbonic acid rises to 2.5.-Chambers'

Going into a decline" How often
do we hear this expression. What does
it mean? 1t mtans that people are los
ing flesh, growing thin, wasting.
The way to correct this condition is to
improve the digestion. The condition
arises from an inability to eat and digest
food. In fact food does more harm than
good because it ferments and putrefies in
the stomach, developing poisonous sub
stances which when absorbed cause vari-
Gus disorders.
What is required is that the stomach
he made to perform it's duties. The
Shaker Digestive Cordial is a food al
ready digested and digester of foods as
well. 1t will make the stomach healthy.
Get book from the druggist and read

BENJAMIN'S WIT.

Something Pleasant to Say.

Judah P. Benjamin of Louisiana, a
member of Davis cabinet and an able law
yer, was fond Of his jokes Once he hap
pened to arrive in town the day after u
political meeting. A large number of
those who attended it were guests Mt the
same hotel where he happened to stop.
After examining the register he turned to
the clerk and said:
"The boys had II pretty jolly time last
night didn't theyY'
eyes, they did" answered the clerk,
"but how did you happen to know?"
"Why," replied Benjamin, pointing to
the book before him, ~ can always tell
how the boys are acting when they are
away from home by examining their sigma
lures. If they put down n lot of hero
glyphics on the hotel registers instead of
the letters which spell their names, then !
know that they are having a very pleasant
visit indeed.
"Do you know" he added after pause,
"that political meetings are often followed
by paralysis of the right hand?"
"And of the brain also?" replied the
other.
"No, 1 don't think so, )" answered Ben

to go into politics, at least for living"
On another occasion in the trial Of a
case Benjamin was pressing n witness
pretty hard. The man was unwilling to
make certain admissions and hemmed,
hawed and hesitated and tried in every
way possible to evade the questions. Aft

The story of the famous banquet at
which Cleopatra dissolved pearls in wine is
familiar to all, but the act was a mere
show of lavishness and had nothing to do
with superstition. Yet pearls, in common
with other jewels, have been thought to
possess special virtues. In Japan, at the
present day, they are sold not by jewellers,
