How We Should Breathe.

The doctors say that very few people
know howto breathe properly, and those
that do knew seldom do it. Oxygen is
the one indispensable thing for the main
tenance of health and life, and the only
way we get it is by breathing it in with
the air. We must breathe in the right
way, however, not only to get the necessa-
ry supply of oxygen, but to keep out GER
tain impurities that either bring diseases
directly or prepare the system to fall an
easy victim to them.
The most important thing, perhaps, is
to form the habit of breathing through the
nostrils. The air should be made of near
ly the same temperature as the blood before
it is taken into the lungs, and its passage
over the network of blood vessels in the
mucous membrane of the nasal canals gives
it the necessary heat. Besides, the air
always contains dust particles, and if we
breathe it in through the mouth we run
the risk of the irritation and infection that
such particles often produce. In breath
ing through the nostrils, on the contrary,
we draw in the air gently, along system
of winding canals, and this not only mod
crates its temperature but puriies it at the
same time.
The doctors advise all persons that have
to lean over their work, as in writing, sew
ing or studying, to stop work now and
then, sit back in the chair and take | o or
II deep breaths. This is especially i'm
portant for school children, and the wise
and consderate teachrer will make it part
of the daily EXCISE.

Ranch Bigger Than Two States.
From the New York World.

From the New YORK Norld.
There is cattle ranch in Texas not
quite as large as Alsace- Lorraine, three
fourths the size of Wales, much larger
than Porto Rico and almost as large as
Hawaii
1t could swallow up the States of Rhode
Island and Delaware combined and would
overlap Connecticut by many thousand
acres. It's area is about 5000 square
miles, It is distributed over nine counties.
Tucked away in the northwest corner OF
the Panhandle it would not be missed out
Texas, which is larger than either France
or the German Empire.
Its name in the x | I ranch. 1t is
owned by Chicago syndicate. The prop
erty is not yet worked to anything like its
full capacity, but it sustains about 125,
900 head of cattle and l, 600 horses.
The human population of the ranch is
very scanty. Only 125 men are employed
to look after the live stock, each man COW
ering on an average 40 square miles.
Their labors are simpliied by an extensive
system of barbed wire fences.
There are ranch houses, wells, reser-
voirs, windmills, dams and all other aces
series needed on such property.
About II years ago, when Texas needed

Poverty is more of punishment than

Education can never make up for the

1t is far better to offend some people

Men who reckon without their hosts

The more some men talk about doing
things the more likely they are not to do

Following in the footsteps of an INDECENT

Too many men in this country vote as

Apples as Medicine.

Chemically, the apple is composed Of
vegetable fibre, albumen, gallic acid, lime
and much water, says Popular Science.
Furthermore, the German analysts say that
the apple contains larger percentage Of
phosphorus than any other fruit or vege-
table. This phosphorus is admirably
adapted for renewing the essential nervous
matter, lethicin, of the brain and spinal
cord. 1t is, perhaps, for the same reason,
rudely understood, the old Scandinavian
traditions represent the apple as the food
Of the gods, who, when they felt them
selves to be growing old and feeble and
inirm, resorted to this fruit for renewing
their powers of mind and body. Also,
the acids of the apple are of signal use for
men of sedentary habits, whose livers are
sluggish in action those acids serving to
eliminate from the body noxious matters
which, if retained, would make the brain
heavy and dull, or bring about jaundice or
skin eruptions and other allied troubles.
Some such an experience must have led
to our custom of taking apple sauce with
roast pork, rich goose and like dishes
The malic acid of ripe apples, either raw or
cooked, will neutralize any excess of chalky
matter engendered by eating too much
meat 1t is also the fact that such fresh
fruits as the apple, the pear and the plum,
when taken ripe and without sugar dimin-
ish acidity in the stomach rather than pro-
yoke it. Their vegetable salts and juices
are converted into alkaline carbonates,
which tend to counteract acidity.
A good, ripe, raw apple is one of the
easiest of vegetable substances for the
stomach to deal with, the whole process of
its digestion being completed in So minutes.
Gefraud found that the pulpe of roasted
apples mixed in a wine quart of fairy water,
and labored together until it comes to be
as apples and ale-which we call lambes-
wool-never faileth in certain diseases of
the raines, which myself had often proved,
and gained thereby both erownes and cred
it. The pairing of an apple, cut somewhat
thick, and the inside whereof is laid to hot,
burning or running eyes at night, when the
party goes to bed, and is tied or bound to
the same, doth help the trouble very
speedily and contrary to exception-an ex-
cellent secret.
A poultice made of rotten apples is of
very common use in Lincolnshire for the
cure eff weak or rheumatic eyes. Likewise
in the Hotel DIES Inyalids, at Paris, an
apple police is used commonly for inham-
ed eyes, the apple being roasted and its
pulp applied over the eyes without any in
teryening substance.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under the Sup.'

All Doctors have tried to.cure CATARRH
by the use of powders, acid gases, inhalers
and drugs in paste form. Their powders dry
up the mucuous membranes causing them to

used in the inhalers have entirely eaten away
the same membranes that their makers have
aimed to cure, while pastes and ointments can
not reach the disease. An old and expert
enced practitioner who has for many years
made close study and specially of the treat
ment of CATARRH, has at last perfected a
Treatment which when faithfully used, not
only relieves at once, but permanently cures
