TESTIMONY TAKEN IN
GREENFIELD Gas SUIT
Court Hears Varying Assertions
as to Scarcity of the Fuel
Supply.

The Injunction suit brought by the city
of Greenfield against the Greenfield Gas
Company was resumed in Circuit Court
yesterday and the evidence for the city was
TO show that the gas company was only
trying TO use the plea of scarcity of gas to
secure higher rates. 1t was shown on the
witness stand that there was still a large
amount OF gas in the wells.
Former Superintendent Ginley, for ten
years connected with the Greenfield Gas
Company. testified that wells that were
once large producers are now dry holes.
1t was also shown by him that the cost of
putting in new wells now IS greatly in
excess of the former cost. A large num-
Der of prominent business men from Green
field were introduced to testify as to the
supply of gas in the last few years.

HE GRlNNED AND BORE IT..
General Wheeler He'd Suffered Some
Hard Defeats, But This
Was the Worst.

A Michigan officer in the Spanish war
had a negro attendant whose ideas OF
military discipline were strict. Owing
especially to the thieving proclivities of
some of the Cuban hsngers-on, he was
under strict command not to let any
thing go from the officers quarters with
out a personal order from him, says the
Philadelphia Ledger.
One evening, as the officer and Gen.
Wheeler met some distance from the
camp the general said, with a smack OF
his lips:
81 hear, sir, that you received some
very fine branded peaches from home"
Yes, general, they're prime; and I'm
going to send you some. Meantime you
had better stop at my tent on the way in
and have my mar give you a can"
When the officer reached his quarters
he was approached by his attendant
with an elaborate salute, who said:
did you tell dat Genl Wheelah, sab,
dat he could call heah, sab. and procu'
a can oh dem branded peaches, sah?"
Yes; of course, you gave them to
him."
mo, sab; | knows my duties, sab.
done tole Genl Wheelah dat all men
look alike to me, sab, an if he didn't hab
no ordah he couldn't hab no peaches,
sab, less he oba-come me by powah OF
supeiah numbers, sab"
"Why, you black rascal, what die he
say?"
"He ies' grin and bo' 1t, sah."

FOR WIVES AND HUSBANDS.
Their Interests Are Identical and
Should Be the Object of Mu-
tual Consideration.

Men are pretty pliable. creatures. A
good many of them owe their downfall
TO ill-considered marriages; but as many
more owe their success in large part TO
their wives, says Woman's Home Com
panion. When a woman marries, she
has Just one duty before her-to be a
helpmate TO her husband. She may
neither be satisfied to sit at home and
be taken cart of, nor to go her own way
and be interested in her societies, her
clubs, Oh her W exclusive matters. She
and her husband are one. His inter-
ests are hers. If they expect to get
anything out Of life, they must get it
together. Work, pleasure, pain, mus
be met with a common front; then
there will be common progress, 1t is
right and proper that a woman should
be ambitious for her husband. Some
thing is wrong if she is not. So when
we find n who is, she presents an
example worth pointing to.
II is a wise man who chooses a Wife
meet for him; II is a wise woman who
sets out to help her husband, and a
very foolish one who allows herself
to be a drawback, or merely a piece Of
luggage to be carried along.

Attractive Adjuncts of the Costumes
That Are Coming In for
Summer Wear.

Coarse lace will again be much
used on summer gowns, judging from
the advance models.
The buckle feature is one that can
be obtained upon hats and gowns.
Buckles will be used in a variety OF
ways.
Delightful features of the coming
summer are some pelerine scarfs in
black and white chantilly which a
few milliners are already showing.
Narrow cotton braids, introducing
floral patterns in white, black or color,
are trimmings used upon piques and
ducks.
A stylish box tur5an made entirely
of folds of maline Is decked at the
sides and back with loops of ribbon
velvet suggesting in form long
buckles.
1t is predicted that the old-fashioned
three-cornered lace and embroidered
shawls of our grandrother's time will
be revived for summer carriage and
evening wraps.
Embroidered dress patterns are
numerous, not only in wash goods,
but in the new voiles, Examines, and
other light woods for springs.

SYSTEMATIC BREATHING.
A Necessary and Beneficial Exercise
That Is Too Little
Thought Of.

Much has been said from time to
time in these health talks of the value
and necessity of proper breathing, and
the advantages following therefrom,
in the way Of increased well-being and
augmented power of resistance to dis
ease, have been repeatedly insisted
upon. But in a matter of such impor-
lance n can hardly insist too much
or speak too often, says Youths Com
panion.
The average individual does not
breathe deeply enough to meet the
needs of his system or to keep the
lungs expanded. As the human chest
is constructed. there is very little
movement Of the upper portions during
ordinary inspiration, and hence the
upper extremities Of the lungs-the
apices, as they are called-are seldom
expanded sufficiently. The result Of
th!a Is that the alr-cells collapse, the
walls of the cells fall together, and a
catarrh of the lining membrane Of the
air-cells and of the minute bronchial
tubes leading to them is induced. The
conditions are thus provided for the
reception ard development of the germ
of tuberculosis, and it is precisely these
upper portions of the lungs which are
earliest and most frequently the seat
CT this disease,
GVGtpmatie hrnathipo ayarnicac fOrca
these inactive parts of the lungs to ex-
pand; the cells are filled with air and
kept in a healthy condition, so as not
to offer a soil favorable to the growth
of the tubercle bacillus. But this is no.
the only value of breathing exercises.
The entire system Is benefited by them.
More oxygen Is conveyed to the It's
sues and more carbonic acid is with
drawn from them and passes out in the
expired air. The waste products IRE
thus more effectually consumed. and in
the process the heat of the body is
increased. The circulation Is also made
more rapid, the heart-beats are
strengthened, and the tissues are
bathed in a greater amount of we'll
oxygenated blood. In this way the cir
culation is equalized. The extremities
receive their full share of blood. and
cold feet are warmed and chilblains
prevented.
Healthy children do not have cold
feet mon going out or a winter day,
for their running and shouting induce
deeper respiratory movements, and so
the warm blood Is driven TO the tips
of the toes; and adults may reach the
same happy results by deep, slow
breathing. SO, too, a threatening cold,
when the mucous membrane of the
nose is congested. may be warded off
by breathing exercises which disperse
the congestion ard bring to the nose
a supply of pure blood destructive to
the catarrhal germ.

one had an inspiration. She glggled a
minute and then said; Say, my husband
asked me the other day what your first

tell him. What is it?'
Then it was the other woman's turn to
giggle. why, it's Millicent," she said.

TREATMENT OF BRONCHITIS
Simple Remedies Which May Be Ad-
ministered with Beneficial
Effect.

The treatment appropriate for an at
tack OF acute bronchitis, or cold on the
chest, varies somewhat according to
the stage of the disease.
In the beginning, says Youths Com
panion, the mucous membrane of the
bronchial tubes is congested and swollen
and usually quite dry. The secretion
of phlegm is scanty, and the cough,
which may be very teasing in charac-
ter, brings up but little expectoration.
There is generally some pain in the
chest, or at least a feeling of soreness
and a raspIng sensation while cough
ing; and the obstruction to the bron-
chial tubes by tho swollen mucous
membrane, and perhaps plugs OF thick
phlegm, gives rise to more or less DIM
Guilty in breathing.
The aim of treatment at this stage
Is to loosen" the cough by bringing
about an increased secretion, This is
best effected by warm drinks and the
inhalation Of warm vapor, indicated
or not, as may be thought best. Hot
lemonade without whisky, hot milk
or simple hot water, slipped as hot as q
be borne, will render good service.
The patient, of course, should remain
in the house; and preferably in n
with a warm, equable temperature,
so as TO avoid exposure while perspir-
ing. If the attack is at all severe much
time will be saved by going to bed for
a day or two. If there is much pain
or soreness, rubbing the chest with
some liniment will afford relief; but
sometimes cloths wrung out of hot wa
ter and sprinkled with four or five drops
OF t|urpentine, or else thin flaxseed poul-
tees will work better. lnhalat!ons OF
warm vapor from a Group kettle or from
a pitcher Of boiling water are often re-
Quired. A teaspoonful Of the compound
tincture of benzoin or some oil of
eucalyptus may be added to the boiling
water.
At the onset the patient should take a
mild p~urgatiVe, and attention must De
given to the bowels throughout the at
tack, Later, when the cough is loose
and the secretion abundant, the treat
ment must be sustaining; the patient
should have plenty Of good, substantial
food, and should drink freely Of cool
water.
Sometimes drugs in the form Of So
called expectorants are needed in the
early stages, and others to check secre-
ton In the later stages, but all cough
mixtures are o or less bad for the
stomach and are to be avoided if pos
sible; and especially bad are paregoric
and other preparations Of opium. They
are sometimes necessary in certain
cases, but what these cases are must be
left to the doctor to decide.
