DR.. Laborde, Of Paris, appears to
have given n striking demonstration
of the possibility Of restoring to life
persons apparently drowned or other
wise asphyxiated. 1t is well known
that forced or artificial respiration has
often been successful when all hope
seemed to have vanished. Dr. La
borde's method consists in producing
rhythmical traction of the tongue,
which has been found to revive res
piration when other means had failed,
and he has invented small apparatus
for the purpose. In the course Of eX-
periments he chloroformed vigorous
bulldog, SO that breathing seemed to
have cedsed. After fifteen minutes
tongue traction the animal recovered.
In another experiment anaesthesia was
carried to a more extreme point, and
it took two hours Of The action upon
the tongue to restore sensibllity. In
the case of human patient the sub
ject is laid on his back and the tongue
is grasped by pair Of tweezers, at
tached to the apparatus, by means Of
which a continual pulling in and out
process is kept up. The experiences
seem to point to the assumption that,
although an animal organism may have
apparently ceased to live, germ Of
life may exist somewhere within which
is kept alive, and gradually the in
fuence of the living spark spreads to
the rest Of the systGm.-London Tele.

If ones health is impaired, or if he
wants 10 preserve it and increase his
power to resist disease he must. first
of ALL give attention to his breathing.
Even food and drink are second in i'm
purtance to this for one can live for
days without nutrition save the air

even for a few minutes, life ceases.
Here are some of the first rules for
acquiring a correct method of breath
ing. as given by a specialist who has
made an exhaustive study OF the
subject, AFTER retiring at night,
release body and mind from all ten
sion. and take full and regular in
halations through your nostrils; hold
the breath about one second; take
all the time you can to eXhale it;
keep this up until you are weary or
fail asleep. when you wake in
the morning, repeat the exercise at
least for five minutes; longer, if time
permits. 3. During the day. take
as many full respirations as posi-
bic. exercising care with the eXhala-
tons. While taking these exercises
one should bear in mind the thought
that he is inhaling new life and pow

A charming story of the late Queen
of England vouched for by Mr.. A. F..
Story, is iold in the Childhood of
Queen Victoria" 1t is so consistent
with the queens known kindness Of
heart that it speaks for it's own truth.
The Princess Victoria had set her
heart on buying a doll she had seen
in shop window, but her mother the
Duchess OF Kent, would not let her
buy it until her next allowance of
pocket money was due.
At last the day came, and the prin-
cess hurried to the shop, paid over
the bright six shillngs, and got the
long-coveted doll.
On coming out of the shop with
her treasure in her arms, the prin'
cess encountered wretchcdly miser-
able tramp, who plucked up courage
enough to ask for help. The princess
hesitated a moment; then, realizing
that she no longer had any money
left for the man, she returned to the
shopkeeper and gave him back the
doll. He gave her the six shillings,
promising also to keep the doll for
her for few days.
Then the little lady hurried out of
the shop and thrust the whole Of the
money into the hands Of the beggar.

CALL 1T THE CAN CITY.
New Name Proposed for Baltimore, Once
Noted for Its Monuments,

New Name Proposed for Baltimore, Once
Noted for lts Monuments.
That more attention is paid to mat
ters of business nowadays and less to
sentimental considerations is shown in
the case of Baltimore. a new colloquial
name for which city is sought.
1t appears from the most recent cen
suS bulletin of the division of Ameri
can industries that 60 percent of the
oyster canning in the United States
Is done in Baltimore. 1t is not alone
on oyster canning, however, that the
fame AMI profit of Baltimore as the
Can city rests for in addition to oys-
tiers, fruits, shrimps, mussels, crabs
and corn are packed in large amounts
in Baltimore, and the increase in these
lines is continuous.
For many years Baltimore has re-
tanned the name of the Monumental
city Of the United States, not by rea-
son of the great number Of monuments
it possesses, for Baltimore in that re-
spect does not rank SO high as New
York, Chicago Boston or st. Louis, but
because it was the first city to COM
memorate the services of George
Washington with monument, the
Maryland legislature having made pro-
vision for one in 1909. The monument
was begun on July 4, 1915, and COM
pleted in 1890.
Still another notable. memorial in
Baltimore is. the Battle monument, be-
gun in 1915 in honor of the defenders
of Baltimore in 1912 when it was at
tackled by English soldiers. The popu-
lar opinion is that Baltimore is distin-
guished for the number and beauty of
it's monuments, but actually it gained
the name of the Monumental city by
its promptness in raising two.
Baltimore owes little of it's present
material prosperity to its monuments,
hut much to it's large canning inter-
csts, and to this fact is ascribed the
project, which has considerable local
favor, to have it called hereafter the
Can city. as Pittsburg is the city of
Steel, Troy the city of Collars and
Cuffs, Patterson the city of Silk. Low

Who does not love tranquil heart
a sweettempered, balanced life. 1t
does not matter whether it rains or
shines, or what misfortunes come 10
those possessing these blessings, for
they are always sweet, serene and
calm.
That exquisite poise Of character
which we call serenity is the last les
son of culture; it is the Towering of
life, the fruitage of the soul
1t is as precious as wisdom, more TO
be desired than gold,-yea, than even
fine gold. How contemplate mere
money-wealth looks in comparison
with a serene life,-a life which dwells
in the ocean of truth, beneath the
waves, beyond the reach of tempesls,
in the eternal calm!
How many people we know who
sour their lives, who ruin all that is
sweet and beautiful by explosive tenn
pers, who destroy their poise of char
acter by bad blood! In fact, it is a
question whether the great majority of
people do not ruin their lives and mar
their happiness by lack of self-control.
How few people we meet in lie who
are well-balanced, who have that en-
Quisite poise which is characteristic
of the finished character!-Success.

Chinese Art of War.

A novel method OF testing new weap-
ons of warfare is now in vogue in
China. A large cannon, Of the latest
type, was recently imported from Eli
rope, and when it was landed on the
coast of Hainan the military manda
rims of the district first inspected it
closely and then resolved to test it.
They therefore procured bont,
which they anchored at some distance
from the land. and then they loaded
the cannon and fired shot at 1t. TO
their surprise the shot did not hit the
boat, but fell short in the water. They
determined to try again, but did not
want to miss n second time, and so
they brought the boat to the very spot
where the first shot had fallen and
anchored it there.
5, Then they fired, and to their un-
bounded joy the shot went clean
through the vessel. Evidently it never
occurred to them that they could have
attained the same end by aiming more
carefully and slightly changing the
position Of the cannon, or, If 1t did
occur to them. they thought that it
was easier to move the boat than to so
aim with the heavy cannon that they
would be absolutely certain Of not
losing a second shot.-New York Her

Nelson's Gunners and Ours.

The mountings for ship guns and
guns in coast Notifications are SO de-
signed and constructed as to throw
into the power of one man, in 50 far
as possible, the whole control of di-
recting the gun at the desired target
and firing it when ready. The loading
OF the gun and the opening and clos

Admiral Lord Collingwood, who was
second in command to Nelson at the

of telling his men that, if they could
file three well-directcd broadsides in
two minutes, they were certain of

enough to kill the scab. Each sheep

wherever the scab can be found, to
break the scab, that the dip may reach

agreeable job, and it is easier to keep
free from it than to destroy it after it
has gained foothOld. Allow no
strange sheep to mingle with the flock,
