1t has long been known that
healthy blood acts as gcrm-killer in
a remarkable degree, and that to this
property may be ascribed our freedom
and safety from the attack of many
of the microbes of disease which gain
admittance to our frames. TO what
this disinfectant property Of the
blood is due is an open question. 1t
may be due in part to the action of
our white blood corpuscles in eating
up and devouring the microbes that
may gain admittance to the circula-
tion, while other authorities hold that
the fluid (or LYMPH of the blood is
the real seat of the germ-killing pow
ers. Recent Investigations have
shown that on plague germs the blood
apparently exercises no power, but as
regards typhoid germs and those Of
cholera it does possess germ-killing
properties. This research is not con.
cluded, Of course, but it may se,ve to
show US the reasons why we escape SO
frequently from the cloud of microbes
by which, in civilized existence, we
are perpetually beset.-J Tue Scotsman,

BURIED BY TWO HUSBANDS.
Remarkable Instance of the
Last Century.

Apropos of the remarkable instance
of sonjugal devotion, which, according
tc the London Globe, has recently been
displayed by Mr.. Cannon, of Cincin-
natl, in bringing his wife's body from
America to her native place in this
country for interment, it is interest
ing to recall somewhat similar, but
even more romantic story, which is
recorded of Lord Dalmeny, eldest son
of James, second earl of Rosebery.
This young nobleman, who died in 1855,
met in London some years previous
to his death lady, with whom he fell
violently in love, and whom he per-
suaded to marry him and accompany
him en- continental tour. The mar
riage, though concealed from the rel
atives on both sides, proved to be an
extremely happy one, the pair living
together in the greatest harmony un-
til the lady was oyertaken by mortal
illness. When assured that she was
dying, she asked for pencil and pa
per, and she then wrote the following
message: ~ am the wife of the Rev.
Mr.. Cough, rector of Thorpe, in Es-
sex. My maiden name was c. Cannon,
and my last request is to be buried
at Thorpe" In what circumstances
she had deserted her husband does
not appear, but Lord Dalmeny pro-
tested that he knew nothing of her
former marriage, and Immediately set
about fulfilling her last wishes. lie
had the body embalmed and enclosed
in chest, and then, under the as
sumed name of Williams, he brought
it to England, landing at Colchester.
Here the chest was suspected by the
custom house officers of containing
smuggled goods, and was opened by
| them to the great distress of the be-
reaved husband, who grew almost dis
tractcd under the darker suspicious
were revealed.
However, after infinite difficulty he
succeeded in conveying the body to
Thorpe, and when it had been placed
in the church on an open bier, took
his seat beside it, evidently absorbed
in grief, the scene having reminded
bystander of "Romeo and Juliet"
At length he gave full explanation of
the circumstances of his marriage, and
Mr.. Cough was sent for to come and
identify his wife, which the latter gen.
tleman did without a moments hesi-
tation. The meeting between the
sorrowstricken young man and the in
dignant husband was described as a
most moving one, but neither seemed
inclined to waive his right to the other,
though of the two, Lord Dalmeny was
the most anxious to do honor TO the
deceased. He had a splendid coffin
made for her, and followed her body
to Thorpe, where he was met by Mr..
Cough, and in their presence the burial
was performed with all due solemnity
thus probably furnishing the only in
stance on record of woman being t.
tended to her grave by two husbands
at the same time. Immediately after
the ceremony Lord Dalmeny left for
London, apparently inconsolable at
his loss. In the peerages he is de-
scribed as unmarried.

GObeIIn Tapestry,

So important is their artistic merit
and historic value that no history OF
tapestry is complete that does not in
clude description of their design and
execution. For more than 200 years
the existence of the papal manufactory
of tapestries was unknown to the mod
ern world. Documents relating to its
origin and productions were buried
and forgotten in the mass of manu-
script in the famous Barberini library,
until very recent date, when they
were unearthed by Eugene Muntz, di-
rector of the National Ecole des Beaux
Arts at Paris. In the popular mind all
tapestries are associated with the
Cobelin factories of France. Curious
to relate, not yard of tapestry was
ever woven by member OF the Gobe-
lin family. Immortality came to them
from the fact that in the middle CT the
fifteenth century the founder OF the
family established dye house, which
became famous and brought the pro-
prietors fortune. Descendants shrewd.
ly transported skilled tapestry weav'
ers from Flanders, whose work they
directed and marketed, until tapestry
and Gobelin became then, as now,
synonymous terms throughout the
world .--Donahoe's Magazine.

OREGON FOSSIL BEDS.
Remains Of knimnIs That Now Are
Found In the Tropical
Regions Only.

The largest animals yet discovered
In the John Day beds are the giant
elotheres, relatives of the living hog,
ranking among the largest known
mammals. The skull of the specimen
at the University of California meas
ures about 30 inches in length, and nu-
merous fragments of other skeletons
indicate the existence of much larger
individuals. Judging from what we
know of the skeleton, the elotheres
must have attained length of over
ten feet and height of six or seven
feet. Probably few animals have ever
existed that were better able to pro-
tect themselves than these huge mio-
Gene boars, yet they have long since
disappeared from the earth, leaving
no direct descendants, says Harper's
Magazine.
No less strange than the creatures
that have been mentioned appear to
as the ancient representatives of sew
eral groups of animals which now in
habit parts of the earth remote from
Oregon. Remains of near relatives Cf
the rhinoceros, the camel, the tapir
and the. peccary are well known from
these deposits. The rhinoceros is now
confined TO the eastern hemisphere,
the camel tribe is represented in The
eastern hemisphere and in South
America, tapirs are found in south
eastern Asia and South America, md
pcccaries are at home in South Amer
lea, though they range into southern
United States. All this goes to
show that the present distribution Of
animals has no more been permane at

HOW TO BE HEALTHY.
Take m Air Bath Every Morning and
Every Night for the benefit of
Muscles and Lungs.

Two baths, say the newest health
authorities, should be taken every
morning.
For no less important than the tub
bath for the body is the air bath for
the lungs.
Perhaps you have never taken an
air bath and mistakenly fancy that
it may be necessary to turn yourself
inside out to accomplish it.
On the contrary, the directions are
extremely simple.
You need no apparatus and il takes
but moments time and very little
effort.
Every night the lungs become filled
up with impure air and more or less
poisonous gases. A person may go
all day without Kidding his lungs OF
these impurities. Therefore it is as
important TO bathe the lungs every
day as the body.
Few people know how to breathe
correctly. The lungs are not filed by
merely expanding the upper portions
Of the chest and raising the shout.
ders. The entire front of the chest
should be forced out as one inhales.
There are a number Of exercises for
expanding the chest which you can
practice in your room as well as in a
gymnasium. A doorway will serve
as well as the most complicated gym
nasium apparatus. A narrow door
way is preferred Stand directly un-
der the frame and place the hands
fat on the decreasing, the tips Of
the fingers coming at the height OF
the shoulders. Walk through the
door without removing the hands un-
til you are arms length away. This
draws back the shoulders and brings
the important chest muscles into
play. Try this for Is minutes every
night and morning. 1t will help to
wake you up when you rise and help
you to get to sleep quickly when you
go to bed
Another plan is to expand the chest
the same way before an open win
dow. Stand about a foot back from
the window, placing the hands on the
window frame on either side at the
height of the shoulders. without
moving the feet, let the body swing
forward as far as possible and return
to perpendicular position. Prac-
tice this about 20 times night and
morning at intervals OF ten seconds.
Another exercise bath for the arms
and lungs is to stand with the heels
together and take deep breath.
| Then stretch one arm backward and
upward, then the other, meanwhile
moving the body backward, forward
and to the sides while expelling the
breath slowly.--N. Y. World.

LET NE BEGIN ANEW.
Lord God, Thou lettest the green thing


Lord God, Thou lettest the green thing
start
A new life every year;
Out OF their sunken selves they rise,
Erect and sweet and clear;
Behold the llly's pure white leaves
Unfolding by each mere.
Again the sap mounts In the nr
Through every swelling vein;
Again the clover stirs and thrills,
Responsive TO the rain;
Again the tender grass makes green
The lone breast of the plain.
Hear the new, the golden flood OF song,
The lark pours forth to the blue!
Behold the strong, undaunted shoot
Pushing It's brave front through
The fallen tree. Lord God, Lord God,
Let me begin anew!
Out OF my own self let me rise.
For. God If II can be
A new and noble growth may spring
From yon decaying tree
Surely strong, pure life may mount
out of this life vi me.

why Chinese Boys Wear Enrrinss.

The custom of boys wearing ear
rings in China is thus popularity eX-
planned by the Chinese: The boy is
the greatest blessing that Heaven can
send. The spirits like boy babies. 1t
is natural that they should, everybody
likes them, Very often, if the boy ba-
bies are not watched closely, the spir-
its who are constantly around, grab up
the unmatched boy babe and carry him
off to their home. Girl babies are not
such blessings and the spirits care
nothing for them. The earring is a
feminine ornament, and the spirits
know that; so the Chinese mothers
have the ears of their boy babies
pierced and put in huge earrings.
When the spirits are around looking
for boys they will see the earrings and
be fooled into thinking the boys are
girls and will pass on and not trouble

BUTCHERS WRAPPING PAPER.
Brown Sheets of Old Supplantcd By
the White Roll Which Is Far
Superior.

A man who few years ago carried
home from the butchers once in awhile
brown paper-covered parcel as care
fully concealed as broad overcoat
sleeve or a convenient newspaper made
it impossible went into butchers the
other day and asked what had become
of the brown paper which was former
ly used for wrapping up meat, says
the New York Sun.
"Why is it you never see that kind
of paper at your butchers now?" he
asked.
You mean what they call straw
paper, of course" said the butcher.
"Oh, yes, that's back number, al
most. You'll find it sometimes in
country butcher store, but hardly ever
nowadays in city store. Why is it?
Oh, the white paper is cheaper and
more convenient.
You might not think so, but that
is true. Ten years ago we had moth
ing but the brown paper. 1t came
in sheets and reams and it required
lot of handling, and it was always
in the way. Now almost every meat
store has rolls of white paper, from
which the clerks can tear off piece
of exactly the right size.
"The brown paper was more porous
than the white. As a matter of fact
the white paper is almost waterproof,
whereas the old brown paper used to
be soaked through in almost no time.
at was partly on that account that
people didn't like the brown paper.
Men didn't like to carry home their
purchases in such hideous wrappings.
Nowadays we can put up piece of
meat in neat, compact bundle OF
white paper and slip that into fresh
clean paper bag, and it's a pleasure
to carry it home. That helps us, Of
course.
"There are few places in the city
where you will still find the brown pa
per. Those places are the big whole
sale houses, and the only reason they
keep it is that the drivers use The pa
per as sort of carpet for their wag-
ons. The white paper, however, ia
sometimes used for that purpose.
"It might surprise you to know it,
but we have calls for the brown pa
per once in awhile now. The calls
for the most part come from persons
who have young children in the fam
lily. Somebody discovered while ago
that you could make excellent band
ages or poultices out of this brown pa
per soaked with vinegar. We have to
refer all applicants for the brown pa
per to some wholesale paper house.
| Yes, the times are changing, and not
always for the worst, by long shot"
