Why Cold Air stimulates.

Cold, fresh air has special value b
cause it stimulates all the functions q
the body; it quickens the heart and In,
creases the number of red corpuscles in
the blood. A reduction of 20 degrees in
it's temperature increases the proper
ton of oxygen in air one-seventh. Thu
is why one feels better in cold than In
warm air. The vital fires as well as fires
in CRATES burn brighter in cold weather
The whole tide of life moves with great.
er activity. When oxygen is not plenti-
full enough to make the vital fires burn
sufficiently to consume the fuel ant
waste of the body, then much of the
waste material is left behind in the form
of imperfectly burned substances, which
may be called cinders Of the body. Uric
acid is cinders.

COMPLIMENTS FOR THE KING
COuched in Native Irish Phrase
With All It's AccOmpa nimcnts
of Wit.

Again and for all time does the Irish
witty compliments in the world. These
compliments to King Edward from
sons of the SISTER island" which are
going the rounds of the English press
are triumphs over political rancor.
Thus wit performs service of utmost
Importance.
Two London journalists, on their
way from Dublin to Cork, accosted a
shaggy native at Queens county sta
ton.
well, Pat, what do you think OF
the king of England now?"
king of England, is it?" replied the
Irishman, and there stole over his
face an expression of drollery as he
went on in a stage whisper: Sure
avic, ye'l want viceroy over there.
I'm thinkin'. Himself an herself arg
not goin' back to yez at all!"-
Another quaint anecdote of the same
epoch-making trip comes from Galway
An old dame in that CITY of the
Tribes who had spoken with the king
and was questioned as to what she
thought of his majesty. She delivered
herself OF long and enthusiastic eu-
logy to the effect that Edward the
First of Ireland" was "a grand man in
tirely," closing with the remark that
she had "only wan thrilling fault to
find with him."
And what was this fault?
Och, sure, they kept the poor man
so long in the Phaynix park beyant
that they have him talkin' with
sthrong Dublin accent"
