1t is claimed by certain reformers,
who, it would seem, never find things
to their liking, that not one woman in a
hundred breathes normally. The res
piration of the average woman varies
with every change of mental OF physie-
al condition, and it is a rare thing for
u woman to use her lungs to the best
possible advantage without a previous
knowledge of physiology and an appre.
citation of the merits of physical culture.
Desirable as is a thorough exercise
in breathing, It is not quite safe to ex.
pertinent in the matter. a very little
instruction on the subject will enable
any to comprehend the precise
art of filing and employing the lungs on
scientific principles. After this has
been acquired the chief thing is to
breathe in as much sunshine as nossibla
and to believe in the efficacy of oxygen
as q remedy for nearly all 1.-THE ills that

Vegetation ON Glacia MOrnAnen.
The wilderness presses up close to
the town, and it is wonderfully rich
and luxuriant. The forests almost
rival those of Puget sound; wild roses
are three inches in diameter, and ferns
ten feet high. And, strange to say, all
this exuberant vegetation is growing
on moraine material that has been
scarcely moved or modified in any way
by postglacial agents. Rounded masses
Of hard, resisting rocks rise everywhere
along the shore and in the woods, their

when the whole region lay in darkness
beneath an all-embracing mantle of
ice. Even in the streets of the town
glaciated bosses are exposed, the tell

effaced by the wear of either weather
or travel. And in the orchards fruit
full boughs shade the edges Of glacial
pavements, and drop apples and
peaches Non them. Nowhere, as far as

Here is how to raise the pile on vel

iron, held upside down, with a damp
cloth, lay the velvet on the cloth, velvet
side up, and gently beat the crushed

sufficient the velvet may be very gently
rubbed with a cloth dipped in oil, and
the beating repeated. The velvet must
then be hung up to dry and should not
