BLOOD CIRCULATION.

Breathing and Its Relation to tho
Secret of Good Henlth.
The secret of health, us every intelli-
gent physician knows, is free and full
circulation Of the blood, and this circu-
latfon is dependent absolutely on thor
ough oxygenation. In many cases
where erroneous habits of living have
been so long continued that congestion
has become chronic in one shape or an
other obesity, govt, rheumatism, con-
stipation or tuberculosis having
camped in the SYSTEM and crippled IT.
the patient is not npt to be in condi-
ton to readily assimilate sufficient
quantity Of oxygen direct from the at
mosphere. The breathing apparatus
must first be properly developed, SO
that the patient shall he able to grad
ually increase the supply Of air to the
system, until at last he RECEIVERS the
normal power Of deep breathing.
With the building up of the lungs
through proper breathing there is g
metabolism Of all the tissues and or
gans, SO that, for most men, breathing
exercises are more important than any
mere muscular exercise. Not only the
lungs, but all the internal organs are
brought into play by correct breathing.
1t develops the heart, stomach, liver
and kidneys directly and indirectly and
nourishes all these organs us they
should be nourished by more blood md
better blood in constant and regular
circulation. Breathing, therefore, is a
sovereign remedy for our national dis
ease Of nervous depletion. It might
well replace the countless tonics, slim
ulants and anodynes now SO commonly
resorted to. where results are nothing
less than tragic in thousands of cases.

THE ETERNAL FEMININE.

physician, and shall never again ex-
press surprise that men of admitted In

not their mental equals. Among my
patients for the last few weeks-in
fact, until he died-wns man Of re-
markable ability and character. The
case had been in the hands Of another
doctor, and when took charge saw
that there was little hope of recovery.
The illness was complicated and, will
confess difficult Of diagnosis, and 1t
was not until shortly before the fatal
Termination that all the symptoms de-
sveloped.
1.-THE patients wife was little wo-
man whom one could best describe by
the term sweet never saw greater
devotion displayed in the sick room.
Her anxiety was pathetic, her watch
full care unceasing, and grew to look
up to her. But never could explain to
her just what was the matter with her
husband, although after really found
out made the most perspiring efforts
to do so.
GLOW is he today, doctor?' she
would say in the most pathetic fashion.
The first time she put the query went
into details by way Of explanation.
The danger from pneumonia has
diminished to a certain extent said,
but from the heart action notice GER

very little grounds for hope Then
would continue to explain the trend of
the disease SO simply, thought, that a
child could understand It. When con-

said in a manner SO pathetically sweet

you think he Isl? L

reply, holding out little hope, and new

A recent traveller in somaliland gives
the following curious incident show
ing the Mohammedan hatred for pigs:
I'VE shot two wart hogs. one partic-i

the tusks. but of course none of the
Somalis would touch the unclean ami

she would not touch them and with
the help Of two sticks. which she used
like IL pnir Of tongs. put them on a

about the hatchet No one would touch

was pure affectation and playing to the

A Novelty in Railroad Education.

The novel project Of running a
palatial special train from Chicago
to New Orleans and return, a dis
lance Of nearly 1000 miles, for the
sole benefit Of competitors was sue
cessfully carried out by the officials
of the Illinois Central Railroad last
week. Nearly 100 general passen-
ger agents and members Of their
families were the guests Of the ILL
nois Central during the trip, every
thing, including musical entertain
ments in the observation car, being
provided by the company. Had any
one undertaken to purchase the
service and entertainment provided
the cost could not have been far
from $4,000. The train was, SO to
speak, an edition de luxe, the Pull
man Company certifying that the
new cars furnished were the finest
ever manufactured by them, and the
engineers and train crew were the
most expert in the employ of the
company.
The novelty Of the affair consists
largely in the fact that a few years
ago railroad companies strove tokeep
from competitors accurate knowledge
Of conditions along their lines Of
railroad. Excluding the compile
mentary feature, the main purpose
of the Illinois Central expedition
was to educate competing lines re-
garding the nexcelled transportation
facilities possessed by that company,
and the possibilities which lie in the
development Of the South. Although
progressive men, the general pas
senger agents who were on the trip
were amazed to learn that the ILL
nois Central now practically has
a double track system all the way
between Chicago and New Orleans
and rock ballasted roadbed with
few grades and curves, which is
capable Of accommodating an enor-
