Cycling for shortness or Breath.

There is general idea that those
persons who suffer from shortness of
breath should not take long rides or
indulge in anything which savors of
speed. This declares a well-nown
physician, lis altogether erroneous. As
matter of fact. long distance riding
at a moderate pace forms one of the
very finest cures for shortness of
breath. This malady is usually caused
by some congestion. which prevents
the lungs from being expanded to their
run capacity. Constant. steady and
easy exercise strengthens and tones
up the air cells so that the number of
those available becomes gradually in
creased. and thus, little by little. the
in, nc -s.ce die9ppears. The only
care to be exercised is to not make the
eXertion of n violent ature.'-New

A Contrary Flag

Ii ever there was anything in the
world that went by contraries. it is the
Chinese flag. 1t will be recalled that
II Is one of the gayest of national
standards. The body of the banner
Is of pale yellow. In the upper left
hand corner, is a small red sun and
looking at 1t is fierce Chinese dragon.
About 1000 years ago. so the story
runs, the Chinese made war upon the
Japanese They prepared for a great
invasion. As the prophecy of victory
they adopted a standard which is that
OF the present time. They took the sun
OF Japan and made it very small. This
they put in front of the dragons
mouth to express the idea that the Chi
nese dragon would devour the Japan
ese. 1t happened, however. that the
Chinese fleet, conveying an army Of
lo0,OOO men, was wrecked on its way
to Japan by great storm. and all but
three of the 100000 perished The re-
suit of the recent war has not been any
more convincing than the first affair

SCIENCE of the MOSQUITO.

There are four truths respecting the
mosquito which modern science has es-
tablished.
First-A mosquito cannot live in air
free from malarial poison. Untainted
air has the same effect on him as Il
healthy community on a doctor. 1t de-
prives him of patients, and he must go
to less favored localities to practice his
profession.
Second-The lymph. which flows
through an automatic valve when it in
serts its probocis. contains a modified
germ of the malarial fever; and, ac-
cording to the well-settled law of in
oculation, the introduction of the weak

germ renders harmless a supseouen,
attack of the strong germ.
Ihird-The mosquito never swallows
human blood 1t cannot. The fact
that its body becomes discolored and
swells. while probing. is caused by the
discoloration of the lymph in contact
with the blood and the muscular effort
of inserting the probe
Fourth-A mosquito will never in
sert its lancet in a person not suscep-
tlble to an attack of malaria. In this
respect its sense is more accurate than
the most skilled and experienced path
oiogist. This also proves not only its
unerring instinct, but that it never
wounds unnecessarily. Its trusts are
