The Rhinometer, or Breath Measurer'

The latest scientific invention Is the
rhinometer. The object of this instru-
ment is not, as the vulgar might suppose,
gauge the extent to which you breathe
through your nose. This matter, it ap-
pears Is of far more Importance than
might be imagined. All the lower ami
mails breathe through the nose and
through the nose alone. Human beings,
with their customary perversity, are
given to breathing through the throat,
not merely when 8 cold in the head COM
pels them to have recourse to this illegiti-
mate mode of respiration, but from their
cantankerous disposition to do things the
wrong way whenever opportunity offers.
Of course. they are punished for their
disregard of the best animal traditions.
The scientific truth is that the oxygen OF
the air knows better than to allow itself to
be smuggled into the lungs by tho back
door, as It were. 1t will only enter our
system in the quantity desirable through
The nose-the straight and narrow way.
The serious predicament Of the throat
breathers is at once apparent, to the out
come of their detestab!e habit they are
kept short of oxygen. The consequence
ia they become anaemic and suffer from
q hundred other ills to which g. sensible
animal refuses to be heir. By the use of
the rhinometer it Is open to any man to
know out If how much oxygen he cheats
his lungs. A most excellent instrument
is this. 1t should promote common hon
esty and procure humanity the numerous
blessings that would result from men
keeping their mouths shut.-FaU Matl

Broke his Leg for a Girl.

eve had an endless variety of ca
scs to spice my professional life, but
none of them left more lasting impress
sion than that of young Boggs." At
ter the doctor had thus committed him
self there was nothing to do but tell
the story.
"Boggs was summcringin the Green
Mountains. Having plenty of money
he was in the habit of getting whathc
wanted and had encountered compare
lively few disappointmcnts. While
c~lambcring down the side of a cliff
one morning with a view to reaching a
trout stream by the shortest route,
Boggs took an ugly tumble and broke
his leg. His cries for help brought a
pretty Philadelphia girl, who was with
an aunt that had always lived within
the shadow of one of the great hills.
He was taken to the aunt's unpreten-
tious little house, and the girl became
his nurse. I was recuperating in the
same vicinity and looked after the pa
tient.
"Boggs took the part of an invalid
until SO fat and strong that deception
was no longer possible. Then he took
INC aside, made a point blank confes-
sion of love for the girl, said that he
needed more time for a successful
wooing and wanted me to break that
Leg again. I could make my own
charges, but the relation Of sick man
and nurse must again be established
between him and the angelic little
Quakercss. I resented his PROPOSE
ton and he announced his intention
to return to his hotel. lie had not
gone a quarter of a mile from the house
when he in some way accomplished
what I had refused to do, and once
more enjoyed the ministrations of the
fair niece. The circumstances were
peculiarly favorable to a successful
courtship, and I was wondering how I
could make a successful interference
when her father appeared on the scene.
Hc was as practical a man as | ever
met. After I had told him what had
occurred, he sent his daughter home
and had a brief talk with Boggs. The
effect of all the old gentleman had to
say to Boggs was that he might break
every bone in his body, and even his
neck, but could never have the girl,
Boggs pulled himself together, quit
falling off Of mountains. settled down
to doing his share of work in the
world, and two years later hts former
nurse was Mrs. Boggs. "-DchOit

: Can a death which is caused

Can a death which is caused by
a mosquito bite properly be called
accidental ? The Court of Appeals Of
Kentucky has so decided, and the
decision appears to the Chicago Times
Herald to be very good law. A Ken
lucky travelling man took out an acct
dent insurance policy for $4,000 and
departed OIL a journey. In Rome, Ga,
before he arose one morning his right
foot became uncovered and a mosquito
lowering near, waiting for an early
breakfast, settled on the foot sat the
base of the fourth toe and gorged
himself. Blood poisoning, as the
doctors testified, was the result of the
bite, and the mar died. When sued
on the policy the company contendcd
that a mosquito bite was not an acct
dent, and consequently they ought
not to be compelled to pay. The lower
Court agreed with the company, but
on appeal the higher Court reversed
the case and gave judgment for the
widow who had brought the suit.

The First Soldier Killed.

70 the Editor of tie Observer: In
you edition of the 9th, under the
caption, 1.-THE First Soldier Killed.
B. NJ. Parham makes the statement
that Captain Mari, of the Warrenton
Rifles, was the first man killed on the
Confederate side, during the late un-
pl%easantncss. lie claims that Captain
Mari was killed at, or near Fairfax
Court House, on the 3lst Of May,
1861. This is no doubt all true, and
Captain Mari was the first to fall on
Virginia soil; but it is also a well-es-
tablished fact that the first life lost,
on account of the civil war, was that
of a brave young South Carlina boy,
James Clark Allen, Of Abbeville Dis
trict, S. G. The sad trgedy occurred
on Sullivan's Island, February -,
1861, three and one-half months be-
fore Mari was killed.
"Young Allen, while hurriedly pass

another, in old Fort Moultric, sud-

Woman Status in the South.

ATLANTA, GA, July Since the
abolition of African slavery there has
been no change in the South so re-
markable as that which has taken
place in the status and prospects Of
women. This change is, perhaps,
more marked in Georgia than in any
other State in the South. Not until
after the adoption of the State Consti-
tuition of 1868 could a married woman
hold property in Georgia. Now more
than one-third of all the taxable prop
crty in Fulton County, where Atlanta
is situated, a county that contains
one-cighth Of all the property in the
State, is owned by married women,
and the property of women, married
and single, amounts to almost half the
taxable values Of the county. Women
are large stockholders in many Of the
best banks, manufacturing corpora
tions, and other enterprises in this
State, and several of the leading
Wholesale business firms of Atlanta
have women as partners.
In every city of the South women
are now found by the score and hun
drcds in lines of work where twenty
five years ago hardly a woman was to
be seen. The writer can remember
when there was not a shop-girl in
Atlanta, and it was several years after
the war before the first appearance of
a woman behind a counter in this city.
The woman as stenographer, typewriter,
bookkecpcr, journalist, and physician
made her appearance in this city much
later, but she is here now in all the
callings mentioned, and in others.
The prejudice against woman's par,
ticipation in business or professional
life, once so strong in the South, is
practically dead. With the increasing
number of women at work, contrary to
the usual operation of the law Of COM
petition, there has come an increasing
appreciation of the value of woman's
services. They are better paid in
Georgia than they we're ten years ago,
although many moro of them are en-
ployed. The difference between the
wages of men and women in the same
lines and grades of work is also dis
appearing fast.
1t has been hardly ten years since
the first employment of a woman in
newspaper work in Georgia. Now
there is not a daily ncwspapel-in the
State which has not at least one woman
on its staff, while some newspapers
have three or four. They not only do
"society" work, but act as regular
reporters, and in that capacity prove
highly satisfactory. Several weekly
newspapers in Georgia arc owned and
edited by women, and there is one
daily paper, the Americas Recorder,
which is being successfully conducted
by the widow Of its late owner and
editor. The Woman's Press Associa-
tion Of Georgia was formed several
years ago, and has about fifty mem
bcrs.

Of this city are studying law. Scores
Of Atlanta girls, some of whom had
been prominent in society, have be-
come professional nurses. Ten years
ago the only professional nurses in
Atlanta were negro men and women.
Five years ago the State Normal and
Industrial School for Girls was estab-
lished at Milledgeville. 1t was bitterly
opposed by the ultra-conscryative ele-
mcnt in the Legislature, but has be-
come one of the most popular institu-
tions in Georgia, and its accommoda-
tions will need to be enlarged. In
this school the girls are taught telcg-
raphy, s%tenography, typewriting, dress.
making, cooking, bookkeeping, and
other practical sciences. Many gradu-
ates Of the school are earning their
living. The pupils do not come
entirely from families of small means.

The Office of assistant librarian in
the State library has beer filled by a
woman during the past three years,
and it is generally believed that at
the expiration Of the term of the pres
ent librarian a woman will be appoint
ed, the recent Legislature having made
women eligible to the position. The
Atlanta public library has been man.
aged by a woman for several years,
and there is only one public library in
the State where a woman is not in
charge. Recently there vas a vacancy
on the Atlanta board of education, and
the election of a woman was very gen.
orally demanded.
Ten years ago woman suffrage was
not mentioned here, except in scorn
and ridicule. Now there is Woman S
Suffrage Association in Atlanta with
several hundred members. There are
similar organizations in nearly every
city in Georgia, and a State assoeia-
ton has been formed. Some of the
leading public men of the State are
persistent and enthusiastic advocates
Of woman suffrage, and it is probable
that a bill giving women the right to
vote in certain elections will be intro
duced at the next session of the Leg
islaturc. 1t will be defeated, of
course, but at the rate of progress the
equal sufragists have made in this
State recently the passage of such a
bill few years henceis not improbable.
