he presided.
The second day at his desk the ven

messenger placed them before Mr.. Hat

LUNGS THAT ARE LAZY.

Their Owners Digest Poorly and
Catch Cold Easily.
Fresh air is free gift, but it is like
most of the gifts of heaven in that we
must do our share of work to benef:
by il. No one would expect to have a
good fire just because pair of bellows
hung on nail by the chimney, but this
is exactly what many people expect OF
their lungs, which are really only the
bellows given us by which TO keep the
fire of life burning bright and clear
within US.
1t is not too much to assert that lungs
properly used in Il comparatively close
room VIII 90 more good than lazy lungs
| I'm an open field. This trick of lazy
lungs is a habit, like any other, and
may be overcome by persistent effort.
Many persons, for example. are affiict-
ed with q nervous habit of holding the
breath unconsciOusly. These are the
people who. in spite of plenty of time
spent out of doors. yet catch cold east
ly, digest poorly and are always more
or less under the weather" physically.
Many other persons-and they consti-
tute the great majority of mankind
breathe only with the upper part of the
lungs and although they may breathe
regularly do not draw in sufficient air
ut breath TO fill all the lung cells.
When once the pernicious habit OF
poor. shallow breathing has been bro
ken up. the health undergoes such mark
ed Improvement. there is such brighten
ing of the spirits and Improvement Of
the looks, that the luxury of deep
breathing is not likely TO be readily
foregone.
\ good way to start the new habit is
to take deliberately n few minutes at
stated intervals and devote them to
proper breathing. If this is done sys-
tematically, the refOrmer will find him
self uncOnsciOusiy breathing more and
more. until very soon he is obeying ma
ture and really breathing to live.
Besides the gain to the general health
which comes from the habit of deep
breathing there is created n reserve
strength and preparedness which is
often of great service in warding off
acute pulmonary diseases.-YOuth's

pert make thorough examination of
the route and estimate the cost of
the construction and probable re-
ceipts. and report TO them. After
this was done they would use what
influence they had to get the associa-
tion To support the undertaking. Mr..
Caldwell reported TO Mr.. Loosely that
he had an offer from reliable party
TO make the examination for $25 n day
and that il would probably take a
week
There being no further reports l.

The New Orleans Item comments
as follows on the situation IN

under a republican government, can
do so many startling thirgs as to
religious bodies, Why DOESN'T the

understand why a great latron like
France should keep itsel in a stat
of perpetual alarm ami fermen'
over the movements OF religious
orders which have shown no desire
to interfere with political affairs.
The decree Of the French govern
ment, compelling the closing Of the
sectarian schools, is having the in
evltabIe result of such procedure

JUST A HINT.

Daughter, don't let mother do it;
Do not let her slave and toll,
While you sit a useless idler,
Fearing your soft hands TO soil;
Don't you see the heavy burdens
Daily she is wont to bear
Bring the lines upon her forehead,
Sprinkle silver in her hair?
Daughter, don't let mother do it.
Do not let her bake and broil
Through the long bright summel
hours,
Share with her the heavy toll;
See, her eye has lost its brightness,
From the cheek the ruby glow.
And the step that once was buoyant
Now is feeble, weak. and slow.
XNNMNMN Y%'s
Daughter. don't let mother do it,
She has cared for you so long;
Is it right the weak and feeble
Should be toiling for the strong?
Waken from your listless languor.
Seek her side to cheer and bless,
And your grief will be less bitter
When the sods above her press.
Daughter, don't let mother do It.
You will never, never know
What was home without mother.
Till that mother lieth low;
Low beneath the budding daisies.
Free from earthly care and pain,
To the home so sad without her
Never to return again.
