,aluo of breathing Proper,y.

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 the 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 giddiDess, stop at once.
This is the natural consequence of the
action and does no harm, provided it is
not continued. After few minutes.
when all unpleasant feeling has passed
away, repeat the effort. This nav 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
lcate, three times day is enough for n
beginning. In very short time u
marked Improvement will be perceived.
Another exercise with the lungs is to
expand the chest with the muscles to it's
fullest extent. then fill the lungs and
hold the breath as long as possible.
This causes heavy pressure of air on
undeveloped and defective lung cells
and after time will open all of the
passages of the lungs and create a con-
dition of health to which great many
people are entire stranger

Ether ana Plants.

Ether, it has been discovered by
Danish experimenter, has on plants an
effect exactly the reverse of that which
it has on animals, and instead of put
ting them to sleep will awaken them
even from that deep slumber which or
dinarily nothing but the arrival of
spring can disturb. The plants to be
etherized are placed in alright boxes
or glass cylinders, according to size, and
exposed to the fumes for from "a to 96
hours. BY doing this in the fall the &C
tivity which otherwise would not begin
for months is started, and the plants, on
removal from the etherizing chambers
\ to dollhouse, at once leaf out, bud
and blossom i'll a most surprising way.
As yet only willows, hyacinths and
lilacs have been tried, aud in many in
stances we'll developed flowers were
produced before Christmas. With liiacs
the success was especially great, but
this is believed to be due simply to tho
accidental hitting i'll their case of just
the right amount of ether to administer.
1t is believed that further experiments
will reveal the best procedure to follow
with other plants and that the discovery
Will be of vast Importance to florists,
enabling them to control with accuracy
the out of season blossoming of any
plant. The process is inexpensive aud
easy Of application, the only danger
connected with it being that of fire, as
the ether fumes are ready to burst into
flames on small provocation. New

AN Ingenious idea.

There is certain genius in one Of
our western towns who will doubtless
never lose any of his worldly possessions
Al 1t depends ON his wit to retain them.
His entry into the town and subse-
quent method he employed to secure re-
dress from a grocer who had outrageous
~ imposed upon him by selling him a
loto sugar mixed with lime sufficiently
testify to his ability i'll such matters.
The impurity of the sugar was hardly
perceptlble at first, but when put into
use it quickly showed its inferiority.
The next day ali advertisement ap-
peared in the town paper that read
somewhat as follows:
Should the grocer who for his profits
lnjudiciously mixed pound of lime
with few pounds Of sugar and lately
sold it to customer not send to that
person at once the pound of sugar he
cheated him of, his name shall be dis
closed to the newspapers" To which
advertisement he affixed his name and
address.
The morning had hardly passed before
a pound OF sugar arrived followed in
quick succession by seven more, all from
different sources, which plainly showed
a distressing want of honesty among
the grocers of the town.
1t is not related whether the coffee,
tea and various other articles were ex-
amined by the genius i'll hopes of sim
liar condition and n like reward, but the
presumption is that no time was lost in
ascertaining if such possibility actu.
ally existed. -Harper's Round Table.

A CIRCUS ON TIE SEA.

A dispatch from London says Bar
mum & Bailty's mammoth show is now
in full possession of the gigantic Olym-
pia building in Kensipgton, where it
is to open on Boxing Day" The place
is in state of indescribable confusion.
Hundreds of working men are toiling
day and night com mpleting the prepaia-
tions for the exhibition.
The noise of hammering and shout.
ing, the roaring of wild animals and Il e
general chaos make it the nesrest i'm
aginable approach to pasdemonium.
But af er having crossed the ocean with
this modern Noah's ark noises do not
disturb one. The trip was interesting,
and the voyage pleasant after the first
three days out. During these days
rough water prevailed and several
white squalls occurred, in one of which
the snail boat which came TO take of
the pilot at Sandy Hook was iun down.
Lying to for au hour we pre- c,sded
on our way with the melancholy mem
ory of the loss of two lives at the outset
of the voyage. Big seas broke over she
ship again and again during the follow
ing two days, sometime drenching the
showmen crouching in the lee of the
deck c4ges.
ALI on board took it good humoredly,
how ever, snd the seaSick ones were
guyed numerically. An artist Il ID
correspondent got ducking the second
day away down in the hull beneath an
open hatch while watching the feeding
of the wild animals. The latter were
uneasy ard raised a merry rumpus,
which sometimes drowned the roar Of
the sea.
In this pitching and rolling we lost
the giraffe, Daisy. She was thrown
forward with her head down and brok g
her neck in two places. She was thrown
down on Sunday evening, but her keep
er, supposing tnat she was resting SAT-
ly, did not go to her assistance. Next
morning, however, she was found still
lying in the same position, dead. STE
was hauled up from the mold and skin
ned on top of the elephant cages for.
ward. The remains were thrown into
the sea and the skin will sent to the
Museum of Natural History 10 be
stuffed and mounted.
Daisy was purchased at the Cincin-
natl u 10, apd had been the ONLY giraffe
on the American continent for the last
two years.
There was another notable loss. "P.-
lot" the veteran big white baggage
horse, who bad been with the show for
eighteen years, died on the first Gay ou'.
Two other baggage horses and two
monkeys were also lost during the trip.
