The Lungs ana Their Diseases.

| From DIR. Hunters Lecture on the
Progress of Medical Science
The lungs are the great vital center
OF Il C body on which the heal h and
prol err action of all the organs depend.
Ii we cease TO breathe for but five
minutes, we are dead at the end of
that time. In rare and exceptional
cases the flame of life has been re-
kindled by artificial respiration, but,
as a rule, people sound and well.when
suflocatcd are dead beyond restora-
ton at the end of five minutes. Have
you ever thought why this is E? Ii is
because the functions of every organ
stop the moment we stop breathing.
Breathing enables the heart to beat,
the blood to circulate and the brain to
send forth sensation and motion to
the entire body. The lungs, the brain
and the heart constitute the tripod OF
life, and while they act we cannot die.
The heart depends on the lungs for its
power to circulate the blood, and the
blood depends on the lungs for its pu-
rilication. Every moment OF life car
bonic acid is being generated in the
blood by the action of the organism,
and must be gotten rid of by the act
of breathing. That is Gods APP oint-
ed way of purifying our blood. When
we stop breathing we retain the car
bonic acid and five minutes accumu-
lates sufficient in the blood to poison
and stop the whole machinery of life.
All affections of the lungs are seri-
Gus, however slight they may seem,
because they prevent full and free
breathing, and in the same proportion
injure the general health. Take, for
example, cold which, by inflaming
the air tubes of the lungs, swells their
mucous lining, diminishes their size
and obstructs them by viscid secretinns
of mucous. As we cannot breathe
through tubes that are narrowed and
INSTRUCTED by matter in them as well
as through those that are open and
free, so every cold, while it lasts, in
lures our breathing, diminishes the
purity of our blood. hurts our circu.
lation, clogs the heart and irrilate,
che nervous system.
All diseases which affect our llngs
begin in the mucous lining of the air
ages-nose, throat and bronchial
tubes. This membrane is peculiarl,
exposed TO cold, smoke, gas and other
irritating and noxious matters in the
air, all of which being drawn in with
the breath inflame it and set up dis
ease.
But it is the chronic disease we have
chiefly to consider in treating lung
diseases. The acute stage passes away,
leaving the patient almost as well as
before it, but more liable to occur
again, until it settles into confirmed,
chronic catarrh or bronchitis con-
dition of the lungs so full of interest,
because so often mistaken, and so liza
bic to be mistaken, for consumption,
of which, indeed, it is generally the
foreTunner.

A Terrible Death.

Thomas McGreen, about so years
of age, and one of the oldest residents
of Bellows Falls, met a horrible death
last Friday afternoon. lie was cross.
ing the Rutland railroad bridge,
when he was overtaken by the l:2j
mail train. He stepped as far on 10
the side of the bridge as he could and
was in "A STOPPING position, when the
train reached him. The snow pillow
on the engine hit him in the head and
knocked him off the bridge into the
canal. He was probably Edead when
he struck the water, but his body
floared down the canal. Scores OF
people ran along the banks hoping to
secure the remains.
Word was sent TO the mills to shut
down the gates and as it happened
they shut the gates just as the body
floated under them, horribly multi
ating it. The remains were taken
out in fragments.
Mr.. McGreen's wife died some
three years ago. lie leaves -four
daughters and four sons. lie had re-
sided in town upwards Of 80 years.

A retired veteran journalist draws
from his unfailing stock of anecdotes
and "reminiscences the following timely
story Of an incident of the war with
the South:
"In the battle Of Seville, near Santi-
ago, mule, carrying one of the how
itzer guns, became obstreperous and
unruly, and hied himself to the rear,
notwithstanding the efforts Of the
soldiers. In the War of the Rebellion
General Fremont, in his Missouri cam
paign, used mules to carry a battery
of eight Parrot guns. In sharp con-
fict with the rebels one day he Or
dered one OF his German staff officers
to ride up to the cavalry and urge the
mule batteries on. The staff officer
rode up suddenly and exclaimed in an
exciting tone, Pring up de shackasses,
pring up de shackasses, for Got sake,
hurry up de shackasses, im-me -diate-
ly!' And in the exigency the shack
asses with the howitzers were soon on
hand. The valuable but sometimes
much abused animals squared them
selves for the shock, and terrific VOL
ley was poured into the confederate
regiment advancing, and the efforts of
the 'shackass' battery were noted the
next day when over 200 dead and
wounded were found in the ravine."

WOODWORK IN eATTLEshlPs

1t Should be Made FIreproof Before 1t Is
| Used In Their Construction.
! Naval officers find that. another
strong danger arisi lg from woodwork
on our war vessels has been presented
In the fight between Cervera's feet and
that Of Admiral Sampson. The con-
structors are confid ent that the Span
ish were forced from many OF their.
guns by the smoke and fame of wood
work burning, and that had the fire.
proof wood been used In the vessels
they would not have caught fire SO
readily. Every one Of the Spanish
cruisers had the usual amount Of
woodwork in the fittings Of their ward
rooms, cabins, and other parts Of the
ships where steel or some substitute
was not practicable, and all Of this is
believed to have taken fire from the
first shell exploded in them.
At the battle of Yalu the American
constructor who reported on the dam
eges sustained by the Chinese engaged
found that almost as many lives had
been lost by flying splinters of wood
y and from suffocation by smoke as from
projectiles and small arms, and ever
since then the American war vessels
have been deprived Of every particle
Of wood that 1t has been possible to re-
move, and, where 1t was necessary at
all, the fireprooAng process has been
applied In many instances.
When the building Of several of the
new ships was being conside. ID one
year ago, the advocates of fireproof
wood insisted that 1t should be intro
duced, but the contractors fought fur
iously against 1t on the ground that it
was difficult to work and not neces-
sary. After reading the accounts Of
the recent fight, in which the Spanish
ships are described as taking fire, the
officials Of the navy have become more
strongly in favor of the use Of as little
wood as possible, and urgent that what
is required to be used shall be fire.

ships.

Dashiell, when a line officer few
years ago, saved forty bluejackets Of
the New York from smoke suffocation
by timely discovery of shoulder
ing fire near the galley, where the men
were all swinging In their bammocks
asleep. He believes that II was utterly
impossible for the Spanish seamen to
stick to the 5-inch guns with their ves-
sells afire, and that possibly the poor
shooting may have been caused by
their inability to fire their guns. A
6-pounder, be believes, would quickly
set fire to an entire wardroom or hatch
way. The two destroyers that were so
put out Of action are also
to have caught fire, while tho
Winslow, although repeatedly hit off

sci had little woodwork about her.

vided with woodwork.

The women of the strong minds
were about to hold a convention, and

to assist In the Ger smonies. The COM
mlttee had been to lot Of places and
had met with very fall success, not
withstanding there WASN'T q good

think of woman for herself alone than
for her beauty, which Is SO evanish-

However, at one place 1t was differ
ent, and tile won IN were treated In
a manner to make them feel as IL they
would almost rather not be men at all
than to be the kind Of men this par-
ticular man wns.
1t happened In the Office of an ell
derby gentleman, who has no patience
whatever with the man-hdy kind Of
woman, and he was sitting In his
private office when the delegation mr.
rived In the outer room. Une of the
members very briefly stated the OBJ

desk.
"And may inquire" said the clerk
politely, for he was Kindly man
and wouldn't do anything In the

Just as like as not the man had a

elderly gentleman's rasping voice was
heard rising high over the partition
separating the two Offices
