Machines With Horse Sense.

From the New York Times.
From our early youth we have been ac-
customed to see obstinate draught animals
beaten for the purpose of making them per-
form their work properly, but how few of
us have seen inanimate objects, like ma
chinery, for instance, subjected to this kind
of treatment? And yet this is done quite
often, as may be observed by any one who
will watch the operations of steam drill
where rock excavations are being made.
The best place to see this is up in the
Bronx district, where so many building OPP
erations are in progress. These big steam
engine drills occasionally stick, and either
work slowly and irregularly or refuse to
work at all, whereupon the attendant pro-
ceeds to belabor them with a big sledge
hammer. Sometimes one or two well-deliv-
tired blows on the drill will start it to work
ing regularly, and then again the drill will
make only a few strokes and STOP necessl-
tating another beating. This latter process,
Is very similar to the beating sometimes ad-
ministered to baking horse, which will
only go few steps at a time, and it makes
the observer feel that, after all, machinery
has some kind of sense, and 1t may be
horse sense.

camp nursing, where every one of them
was obliged to be expert in lifting and car
rying the wounded from the field. 1t is
warm work for Tampa and will be found
warm in Cuba, too.
Surgeons I'm Camp.
The surgeons live like the officers of the
line, but the assistants. composed OF stew
ards. assistant stewards and privates. lodge
in small shelter tents near the hospital and
sleep two in a tent. The regular army ra-
lions are given out to them az well as to

BREATHE PURE AIR.
he Necessity For Filling the Lungs At
Each Inhalation.


Breathe pure air always In the lungs
amost important physiological process
occurs. II is from here that the blood
laden with oxygen is sent to all parts OF
the body. giving off along it's co, rse its
oxygen and taking up carbonic ncid gas,
which it brings at last to the lungs,
when 1t is cast out in expiration. More
oxygen is taken in by inspiration and
he same process is repeated
SO let your breathing be full and deep,

before again starting upon its tour of
distribution through the body. Can one

autely impossible to secure plenty Of
Ioxygen If the clothing is worn at all
tight. and oxygen is a food which the
bodymust have always in abundance to
keep we'll.
The air leaving the lungs is laden with
that deadly poison carbonic acid gas,
which if given off in close room when
no provision is made for its escape and
the entrance of pure air soon renders
the air utterly unfit to breathe. Perhaps
some night you will find yourself un-
able to sleep and tumble restlessly about
In bed. When this occurs, go to an open
window ndinhale the fresh air, breath
ing slPs y dnd deeply. A few minutes
OF this hd you can return to bed and
probaIblyjMill soon be sleeping quietly
What hAs happened? By its restlessness
the body was asserting its need of more
oxygen. Now you have given it what
1t so emphatically asked for, and it is
(quiet We get as much uneasiness and
disturbance from the want of this food
a. when we do not eat enough, only the
WApptoms are not so well understood
nQf recognized so quickly. Always keep
ydur mouth closed and breathe through
your nose Then the air is warmed,
slightly moistened and largely freed
from particles of dust, so that when it
enters the lungs it does not irritate
them.
A condition often met with by ply
sicians is anemia. In this trouble the
patient is pale, lifeless looking, tired
and generally used up, often without
being able to tell distinctly how she

that they have not enough blood 1t is

When you know that it is only those
corpuscles which have the power to take
up and carry oxygen, you see at once
how important it is that the blood
should not be lacking in them. Good,
wholesome food, plenty of it and we'll
