How the Victoria falls impress WIS.,
ltor is recorded in Miss c. W. Mackin-
toshs journal of tour In South Africa.
Miss Macintosh says: I'VE perceived
no hint of the falls, only seeing before
us a screen of rocky based, bright green
forest apparently closing in the river
like lake. Ten minutes walk brought
us TO the camp, on Il cliff which liter
ally overhung the gorge, and we saw
the cataract laundering down into the
boiling pot at our feet The walls of
the chasm. 400 feet high, were spanned
by a rainbow. The charm of these falls
lies not in the one overwhelming crash
as at Niagara, but in the cumulative eff
feet Of various glimpses. the matchless
beauty of the surroundings and the
strangeness of the whole setting, but
chiefly in the columns of spray, called
the laundering smoke" and in the
ever changing rainbows. The mile wide
river suddenly drops into yawning
crack in the ground, stretching right
across the stream ut right angles to
the banks. foaming trough, quite
narrow. of which the walls rose 400
feet above the surface of the water"

Indians Nose Breathing.

An English scientist thinks it unnec-
essary that children should be taught
10 breathe through the noStriis only
and maintains that they cannot do so
under the stress of active eXerton.
London Hospital thinks otherwise.
Among the North American aborigines
nj Il time when they were capable Of
extraordinary physical eXertion the
precept ITO shut your mouth" was en-
forced upon the young by the most Sc
we're discipline.
Catlin founded upon his experiences
smong the American tribes a curious
book upon the subject. After depicting
open mouthed men and boys in every
variety Of uglineSS and stupidity. he
says that he refrainS from giving illus
uatons of the fairer sex and would
only remind them, while counSeling
them TO be careful about closure of the
mouth At night, that idiots asleep can.
not be angels awake"
The scientist declares that not all
nosuils are sufficiently wide TO permit
Of breathing being conducted through
them 10 the exclusion of the mouth
but il is certain that nothing would
tend more than breathing through
them to promote their development.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1905-02-10

The habit of slow. measured, deep
breathing that covers the entire lung
surface is of more value and impor-
lance than you will ever believe until
you have tried it, and when you have
established the habit of breathing in
this manner you will say some remark
able things in its favor. 1t will reach
all points of your physical system. All
the benefits that occur from a healthy
condition of the blood will in greater
or less degree be yours, for the manner
and completeness with which the in
spired air comes in contact with the
blood in the lungs are of the utmost i'm
portance TO every vital proceSs.-ChriS-

against him except his color. and the

father had an extensive plantation at
Orangeburg. s. c., with forty three
slaves. when the civil war began. The
present collector was born in 1859 and
was therefore too young to serve in the
army when the civil war began. His
older brothers determined that he
should receive a good education and
assisted him 10 attend the Avery in
Stitute ut Charleston and the South
Carolina university. He had TO leave
the latter institution in his junior year

Special interest attaches to the Crum
appointment ana its final confirmation
because il is held TO be Indicative of
the presidents policy. Mr.. Roosevelt
declared that if anything could be
shown against the character of DR..

A Miracle to Order.

In the days of his youth NJ. Coquelin
was ambitious. and the parts he loved
10 play We're those in which he died
in full view of an appreciative audi
ence for his art. He had one of these
roles one evening ut the Boulogne the
alter and played it splendidly. getting
a ringing round of applause as he fell
dead upon the stage. Then his troubles
started.
The audiences applause woke up a
mosquito. which applied itself to NJ.
Coquelin with so much assiduity that
the corpse felt it must either scream
or scratch. Another actor. who played
general in the corps of which the
dead NJ. Coquelin was young ensign,
was standing near the body and had to
say: See. then, how sad a thing is
wari But now this youth was living
Now he is dead-motionleSs for all
time Nothing save miracle can give
him life again."
But NJ. Coquelin could hold out no
longer. The mosquito was still biting
busily and Coquelin had to sit up and
slap his leg. The miracle has hap
pened! cried the general. while the
audience laughed until it cried at this
too lively corpse.
