The Importance of the Living Present.

Once to every man and nation comes the moment
to decide.
In the strife OF Truth with Falsehood, for the good
or evil side
Some grea; cause. Gods new Messiah. offering each
the bloom or blight
Parts the goats upon the let, hand, and the sheep
upon the right.
And the choice goes by forever 'wixt that darkness
and that light
Backward look across the ages. and the beacon mo-
meuts sec,
That ike peaks Of some sunk continent ju' through
Obliyion's sea
Not an car in cour, or marse, for the low forboding
OF those crises Gods stern winnowers. from whose
feet earth's chatf must fly;
Never shows the choice momen;ous ill the juds-
ment hath passed by.
Careless seems the great Avenger histoy's pages
but record
One death grapple in the darkness twNt old systems
and the Word
Truth forever on the scaffod. Wrong forever on the
throne-
Ye, ,ha, ,eaG,Id sways the future. and behind the
dim unknown
stande,h God within the shadow keeping watch
above His own
Then to side with Truth is noble when share her
wretrhcd crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit and tis prosper
TO be just
Then it is the brave man chooses while the coward
stands aside.
Doubling. in hi, abjee, Spirit till his Lord is craci
fed.
And the multitude make virtue Of the faith they had
denIcd.

Mouth Breathing.

Few people realize what an impOr-
tant organ the nose is. 1t is the first
Of the organs Of respiration, and unless
its functions are well performed the
whole breathing process is deranged.
The nostrils are not open cavities with
smooth walls through which the air
passes in and out as it would through
a rubber tube. They are divided into
compartments by bony projections COW
cred with mucous membrane, and the
volume of air in entering is broken up
into several streams, so that all of 1t
comes in contact with the lining men,
brane.
This warm and moist membrane
catches the dust and other impurities,
and warns the air so that it will do
70 harm when coming in contact with
the more delicate membrane IN the
bronchial tubes and lungs
When the nose is stopped up from
any cause one must breathe through
the mouth, and if this is continued for
any length Of time the general health
will inevitably suffer.
The month itself suffers first. The
mucous membrane loses It's moisture
and becomes inf AIMED. The air is
neither warmed nor qualified. and 1t
irritates the lining membrane OF the
air passages all the way down to the
lungs, so that a condition of sluggish
Inflammation is excited.
But the general effects are more
serious than the local. One who is
mouth. breather never gets enough AIR.
During the day he suffers less IN this
respect, for the nerve-centers are more
active and force the respiratory mus
cles to act more energetically but at
night this vigilance is relaxed, the
amount of inspired air is greatly re.
duced, and all the tissues suffer for
want of oxygen. For this reason the
mouth -breather always feels tired and
out Of sorts in the morning.
The mind suffers as well as the body,
and mouth-breathing children are al
most always backward in their studies.
The question of the cause OF mouth
breathing, or rather nasal obstruction,
on which the mouth-breatblng de-
pends, must be reserved for another
article. As a rule, 1t is easily found
on examination by the physician, and
can be removed without difficulty.
What we would insist upon here is the
absolute necessity of its early removal.
A child who always breathes with
open mouth, and whose voice mas
nasal twang, should be examined and
treated at the earliest possible moment,
for the longer the trouble exists the
worse it is for the child mentally ,mor-
ally and physically.

PUBLIC OR PRIVATE,
Attorney Asked to Decide as to
Status of an Alley.

Upon the motion of the Engineer Com
missioner, Captain Beach, the attorney for
the District has been requested to advise
the Commissioners whether an alley in
square SIT is public or private one. Dis
trict Surveyor LOCKER has on more than
one occasion called the attention of the
municipal authorities to the need of a
standard by which his office and that OF
the assessor can work harmoniously as to
the status of alleys. The surveyor reports
an alley as public when 1t appears on the
books of his office as having been express
ly dedicated to public use. or when shown
on the plat as public. without any refer
ence in the certificate, or as an ALLEY
when so described in the certificate.
On the other hand alley Is reported
private by the surveyor, If so expressly
mentioned in the certificate, or referred to
as made "for the sole use and benefit or
There are occasional peculiar variations
from the above mentioned general practice.
but they are few. The assessors office,
however, is said to be treating many al
leys, both small and large, as public ones,
though shown as private in the surveyor g
Office by the above test, on the ground
that they are not now, and have not been
for many years, assessed.
Hereafter alleys less than ten feet in
width will not be accepted when offered
for dedication, and it is probable that the
attorney for the District will suggest a
standard by which to measure them, and
one common to both the surveyors and
the assessors offices.

Washington's Mud Baths.


I have noticed that your columns are
open to complaints of every kind, so per-
haps for a change you will be glad to
publish few words in regard to our bless
ings, especially a blessing which is flowing
right in our midst, and has been for weeks,
and no one seems to have discovered it.
Now, We, with our pains of neuralgia and
rheumatism, have to travel way off to Colo
orado or some other out-of-the-way quar-
ter of the globe searching for the hot
springs of liquid mud in which to immerse
our aching bodies, when here, right before
our eyes, in every house we have this
famous cure. All we have to do Is to go
in our bath rooms, turn on the liquid mud
hot water fawcet and lie down in it, just
as we would do way off in some place it
would take US a week to reach. There we
may soak until we are all pink and par
boiled then rinse off the mud in a little
clear water we have bought, and there you
are. Right here in Washington
So soak while you can, and throw away
your porous plasters, canes and crutches
