Then The Lady aluahed.

1t is q mistake to presume upon
the misfortunes Of others, as the
following shows: A gentleman who
had been afflicted with deafness re-
turned home from a visit to Lon
don, and soon after went to call up
on la1y Of his acquaintance.
He 1ound her at home, and with
her a cousin Of hers, who was also
paying her q visit. The hostess re-
ceived him with politeness and in
trodnced him to her cousin, but to
her introduction she added in a
perfectly audible tone, esHe's q good
man enough, but he's terribly stu
pid and as deafas a post 5 4.
@ The gentleman colored.
e may be stupid" he said. tsbut
I I am no longer as deaf as d post.

sence and can hear as well as any,

Its AiI.In the HreathInu.

The splendid results of high alti-
tude in the treatment Of tubercu-
losis have not been due to any cura-
tive constituent of the atmosphere
or any peculiarity Of temperature,
but entirely to decreased barome-
trio pressure upon the external sur
face, compelling a greater expansion
of the chest, opening up larger
surface for the Interchange of gases
and consequently greater oxygen
alton Of the blood. It is self evi-
dent, then, that the forced disten-
ton of. the lungs and bronchi in
those who live in high attitudes
alone confers immunity against the
disease.
The exercises available to produce
better respiration are very numer-
GUS and varied, but the underlying
principle is simply to bring into
more vigorous play the muscles
which expand the thorax and at the
same time excite deep, full and free
breathing-to bring the vital force
Of the lung, to its maximum

How the Sea Retalna Its Life.

One of the reasons formerly urg-
ed against the existence of living
creatures in the abysses Of the ocean
was the supposed absence of oxygen
there. It was deemed impossible
that any considerable quantity of
oxygen could exist at great depths,
but recent discoveries have shown
that there is 10 lack of oxygen even
at the greatest depths. The ex-
PLANTATION is that the cold water of
the polar regions, charged with
oxygen from the atmosphere, creeps
along the bottom toward the equa-
tor from both poles, and thus car
ries a supply of oxygen over the
whole vast floor of the oceans. The
surface water moves toward the
poles, and SO great system of cir
culation exists. "Were it not for
this world circulation" says Pro
fessor G. c. Nutting, SIT is alto
gether probable that the ocean
would in time become too foul to
sustain animal life, at least in its
higher manifestations, and the sea,
the mother Of life, would itself be
dead"

The "Moticn" Was a Heqqar.

Fulton one time went to see a
perpetual motion machine, having a
friend with him. After sitting and
listening and looking intently for
q few minutes F'ulton's sensitively
accurate ear and eye told him that
the machinery showed the recurring
alteration of comparative speed and
slowness which always comes from
q crank turned by hand.
In spite OF the opposition Of the
enraged exhibitor, Fulton and his
friend M seized the machine, jerked
away the table it stood on, found
that a cord led through one leg and
away under the floor, and following
the track into the back yard they
found the motion" a venerable
beggar seated on a stool munching
away at a crust and grinding at a
crank.

The cat,a wh,akere.

The long hairs on the side of the
cats face are organs of touch. They
are attached to a bed of fine glands
under the skin, and each of these
long hairs is connected with the
nerves of the lip. The slightest
contact Of these whiskers with any
surrounding object is thus felt most
distinctly by the animal, although
the hairs themselves are insensible.
They stand out on each side of the
lion Us well as on the common cat.
From point to point they are equal
to the width of the animals body.
If we imagine, therefore, lion
stealing through q covert of wood
in an imperfect light, we shall at
once see the use of these long hairs.
They indicate to him through the
incest feeling any obstacle which
may present itself to the passage of
his body; they prevent the rustling
ct boughs and leaves which would
give warning to his prey if he we're
to attempt to pass too close to
bush, and thus in conjunction with
the soft cushions Of his feet and the
fur upon which he treads-the
claws never coming IN contact with
the ground-they enable him to
move toward. his victim with still
ness even greater than that of the
snake which creeps along the grass
and is-not perceived until it is coiled
around its prey.

Never Plant Anything Without an
Appropriate Place &c. II.

Never Plant Anything Without an
Appropriate Place Ec-it.
One fine tree or shrub growing
where nature might have planted
tits worth dozen crowded and ill
placed specimens. The golden rule
of horticulture is, tNever plant
anything that will attain ultimate
large size where it will not have
room to expand or * here it's size will
be Objectionable when grown.
Vines for pillars and walls, shrubs
for screens and backgrounds, trees
for needed shade, beds of flowers
bordering walks and drives, all are
pleasing because appropriate and
natural. On the contrary, could
anything be in worse taste than
thick rows. Of evergreen such Us we
sometimes see between dwelling
house and the street? They shut
off every vista or point of view from
those within and hide all beauty
from the passerby. Or could any
thing be more abominable than q
conspicuously artificial rockery built
in tie middle OF green lawn? It
is about as appropriate there as an
Indian wigwam wouid he.
The first consideration is not tree
or shrub or plant, but smooth cx-
pansc Of green lawn. The grassy
lawn is the outside garment of the
home. The trees, shrubs and vines
and flowers arc the trimmings and
ornaments. Naturally the latter
should not be used to excess. The
lawn is the vantage ground from
which the flowers and shrubbery
growth stand out in full relief.
Keep the grass, therefore, low,
smooth and velvety. Grow world
Of flowers if you want them, but do
not scatter them promiscuously
here, there and everywhere over the
grass plot. In the yard, as in the
house, let there be place for every
thing and everything in its place.

There is no bottom atabne: place

and belief widely prevails that it
is connected by an underground
passage with the Boden sea in
Switzerland.
1t is asserted that when there is

water in one is low the same con-
ditions exist in the other. There
is also story that corpses in Swiss
costume have come to the surface
on Lake Wetter, and that bodies of

Wetter have been recovered in the
Boden sea. Other evidences are
found in the occasional appearance
of timber and vegetation that do
not grow in this locality, but are
common in Switzerland.
Scientific men, however, dispute

that are told by the peasants. It is
admitted, however, by every one
