Value of breathing Properly.

Thousands of people die every year
because they do not know how to
breathe, or, knowing how, they do not
fill their lungs as they should. Thin,
pale, sallow people should wrap them
selves thoroughly if the weather is
cool, step out upon an open porch or
stand at an open window and fill the
lungs moderately full breathing pre-
cisely as one does for = .e most violent
exercise-that is, in short, quick, deep
inspirations, each one occupying not
over two seconds. Use the muscles to
expand the lungs and chest, and inhale
all the air possible. If the exercise
causes pain or giddiness, stop at once
This is the natural consequence of the
action and does DO harm, provided it is
not continued. After few minutes,
when all unpleasant feeling has passed
away, repeat the effort. This may be
done two or three times within an hour
or so and should be followed up day
after day at intervals of from one to
several hours If the patient is very del
icate, three times day is enough for
beginning. In a very short time a
marked improvement will be perceived.
Another exercise with the lungs is to
expand the chest with the muscles to its
fullest extent, then fill the lungs and
hold the breath as long as possible.
This causes heavy pressure of air Oh
undeveloped and defective lung cells
and after time will open all of the
passages of the lungs and create con-
dition Of health to which great many
people are entire strangers New York

Why She Liked aypnotism.

A young woman from Washington
has discovered a practical use for hyp-
notism and declares that at last she sees
its value. She was visiting a young
artist, who, with her chaperon, observes
all the proprieties, in studio up town
in New York city. The Washington
young woman was called Oh by her
physician, who happens to be skilled in
the ways and wiles of hypnotism. The
chaperon was eager, as many women
seem to be, to be hypnotized when the
conversation turned Oh that subject and
the Doctors skill with the art.
The doctor was trife chary about
showing his powers, but the two
younger women begged him to crafty
the elder woman's curiosity. The chap
eron smiled to herself and bubbled
with delight when the doctor finally
consented to experiment. on her In Is
minutes it was the turn Of the two girls
to bubble With satisfaction. Under the
doctors persuasive power the chaperon
was lost to the world and all but the
NJ. DIS power.
Sat lastn' exclaimed the Washing
ton girl. Here at last is a practical use
for hypnotisln. Anything that can put
a chapcron to sleep is worth having
about. Teach me. Oh r'--New

Practice In Diphtheria.

The results of the practice of variou.
EParis physicians with their diphtheritic
Ipatients have been made to appear in a
published summary of much interest.
According tc this, tannin, applied local
sly, seems to have been moderately sue.
Ecessful, while salicylic acid and salicy-
late Of soda are stated to have failed
entirely. Carbolic camphor-that is,
Ecamphor 20, alcohol 1, carbolic acid 9
g-applied either pure or with oil of al
Emonds, operated quite favorably. Gu
bebs and copaiba were administered to
Ia slight extent, also tincture of eucalyp-
Etus, but not so as to form criterion.
iChlorate of potash proved by far the
most successful remedy, as it was also
the most extensively administered. Its
faction is believed by some to be due in
part to the oxygen with which it sup
plies the blood. and which, it is as
Isumed, the diphtherial bacteria have
distracted. Some other physicians, how
lever, are Of the opinion that the success
'should be attributed rather to it's local
'oifects.

The Corsican Vendetta.

We often see illusions to the Corsican
vendetta, but few people know it's real
nature and to what a fearful degree of
cruelty and bitterness it is carried. The
vendetta consists in the practice of tax
ing private vengeance upon those that
have shed the blood of ones relatives.
it is believed to have originated at the
time of the Genoese domination in Cor
sica, when lawlessness was rampant and
justice almost unknown.
AS those in authority would not pun
ish crime, individuals took the matter
into their own hands, and long oppres-
sion, intensified by the cruelty to which
we have referred, imbittered people
whose feelings are naturally deep and
violent.
This spirit prevails among the wom-
en- as we'll as among the men. They
sing songs Of vengeance over the body
of the slain and display his blood
stained garments. Sometimes a mother
cuts bloody shred from the dead mans
clothing and attaches it to her som S
dress, so that he may have a constant
reminder of his duty in seeking revenge.
If a murder be committed and the
murderer escape, vengeance may be
taken upon his relatives, and as it may
be taken whenever an opportunity offers
the relatives live in constant apprehen-
sion and surrounded by incessant pre-
cautions. Persons that We're ''under the
vendetta" have lived shut up in their
houses for 10 or 5 years and have been
shot the first time they dared to come
out.
The vendetta is made all the more
terrible by the force of public opinion,
for it is considered in the highest de-
gree dishonorable not to take the re-
venge called for, and the next of kin
who fails to take it without delay falls
under the contemptuous reproach of the
community. ty.-Philadelphia Times

An excellent reply was that once
made by a Yankee pilot to the owner of
q Mississippi river steamboat.
The boat was at New Orleans, and
the Yankee applied for the vacant post
of pilot, saying that he thought he could
give satisfaction provided they We're
"lookin for a man about his size and
build
"Your size and build will do we'll
enough" said the owner, surveying the
lank form and rugged face Of the appli-
cant with some amusement, "but do
you know about the river. where the
snags are and SO on?
"Well, I'm pretty we'll acquainted
with the river,' drawled the Yankee,
with his eyes fixed OH stick he was
whiting, but when you come to talkin
about the snags don't know exactly
where they are, must say"
Don't know where the snags are?''
said the boat owner i'll tone of dis
gust Then how do you expect to get
position as pilot on this river::'
"Well, sir, T" said the Yankee, raising
a pair Of keen eyes from his whiting
and meeting his questioner's stern gaze
with whimsical smile, II may not
know just where the snags are, but you
can depend upon me for KNOWN where
they amt, and that's where 1 calculate
to do my sailin. "-Youth's Companion.

load sold in very good season. Pack
ers were the principal buyers though
shippers took enough to create some
competition. Prices showed improve,
n.ent, being strong to sc higher Or
very nearly, if not quite, as good as the
opening market of Saturday, and just
a trifle better than Saturdays average
market. The supply was of fairly lib
eral proportions, running little short
of Saturday, but fully as good as a
week ago. Quality was not SO good
as Saturday, and buyers report some
deterioration from a week ago in this
regard. Trade was not entirely favor

got down to business, conceded the
advance readily and the trade was
brisk and active to the finish, the sup
ply being cleared comparatively early
The top was $500, same as Saturday,
for best medium and light mixed andj
the bottom $3.10 for rough, coarse
