BENEFITS OF NOSE BREATH
Affords Much Physical Satisfaction
and Prevents Distressing
Ailmente.

Breathing through the nose is one OF
the benefits OF deep breathing. BY clos
Ing the mouth and forcing the respira-
ton through the nose, at last the nose
Will become an instrument Of respira-
ton.
AS a rule says Medical Talk for the
Home, people breathe through their
mouths. The nose is intended to breathe
through. The Schneiderisn membrane,
the turbinated bones, are intended By ma
ture to warm the air before 1t enters the
lungs, to impart to 1t moisture and to
strain out harmful particles Of dust.
In mouth breathing, all these protec-
tons are wanting. The air enters the
lungs dry and dusty, exactly as it Is
bre&thed In. After one has practiced
deep breathing through the nose for
month or two. It really becomes lux
ury to breathe. Breathing brings the
same agreeable sensation as drinking
cold water when one Is thirsty To
drink In deep respirations Of air through
the nose, after the nose has become
fully developed in its function Of breath
Ing, is a real pleasure.
This who have never enjoyed the phys
zeal satisfaction Of nose breathing do
not know what they have missed. In
order TO acquire this function, the mouth
should never be opened to breathe.
Even when exercise demands rapid
breathing, keep the mouth shut At
first 1t may be quite difficult to do
so, and will produce a smothery sensa-
ton. But persist in It. At last the ca
pacity OF the nose for breathing be-
comes greatly increased.
Nose breathing often changes the
Typography Of the face II benehcially
alters the shape Of the nose and the up-
per lip, producing a wide well-formed
nostril and imparts character to the nose
as nothing else can do.
Nose breathing prevents nasal catarrh.
Praoticed regularly It will cure ordinary
nasal catarrh. Nose breathing develops
the upper lobes Of the lungs that are
very apt to be neglected in ordinary life.
Don't give 1t up. Keep breathing
through the nose until you have devel-
oped the splendid function which nature
intends it to fulfill. Nose breathing is
Q pleasurable exercise Not only that
but protection to the lungs Not only
that, but beautifer Of the face Not
only that, but developer Of the muscles
Of the upper part Of the thorax. Nose
breathing is worth more than ala tho
remedies in the pharmacopoeia.

DON'T LOOK BACK.

In climbing up the trail Of life, though
troubles may embarrass you,
Though clouds of disappointment may
obscure your mortal Skies
Though thorns lie hidden in the path to
wound your feet and harass you,
And hostile winds may blow retarolng
dust into your eyes,
Keep plodding on with steady nerve; II you
should fall, just rise again,
II you should for a moment stray. get
back onto the track;
Keep praying that the coming day may
bring you sunny skies again,
Your eyes fix on the beacon light and don't
look back
The beacon way up yonder CLEANS, though
clouds at times may curtain 1t,
The light of hope is shining on the sum
NIT of success,
Though 1t may sometimes vanish from your
sight you may be certainit
Again will flash it's CHEEKY rays to Danish
your distress.
The gaunt wolves of adversely from gloomy
lairs may growl at you
And clinging fears your bosom may most
mercilessly rack,
The grim fiends of encouragement from
darkened hooks may scowl at you'
But hold a grip upon your nerve and
don't look back.
When rest the darkest clouds Of life the
CHEEKY sun will shine again,
The fiercest storm will spend its force and
leave a smiling sky;
Around the winter-fettered oak the hover
ing vines will Irvine again.
The longest lane Of woe will have turn
ing by and by.
If you should slip and lose some ground,
strive hard to gain your place again,
Be not appalled, when obstacles confront
you on the track;
If wearied, stop and blow bit. then strike
the same old pace again,
And set your teeth and bulge ahead and
don't look back.

ROYAL CHINESE AUTHORIZES
Empress of Ming Dynasty Who Wrote
for the Improvement
of Her Sex.

The empress consort OF the Emperor
Yung Lo, OF the Ming dynasty in A. d.
1405, committed to paper her thoughts
on the behavior OF women, under the
title of instructions for the InneI
Apartments, /. e., for women. These
are arranged under 20 headings, says
the Nineteenth Century, with an addi-
tional chapter on the education Of girls.
The empress lays much stress on gentle
ness, good temper, economy, kind treat
ment of the young and Of relatives, but
thinks that speech unrestrained Is the
real rock upon which most women split
If your mouth is like a closed door
your words will become proyerbial; but
If 1t is like running tap no heed will
be paid to what you say"
In her additional chapter on educa-
ton, which Is really a more or less dog
gerel poem Of about $50 lines, our au-
thoress will be considered very disap-
pointing by some. So far from pleading
for higher education for Chinese women,
