1t is decidedly Injurious to breathe
through the mouth. Moreover, If we
stop to consider n bit, we shall be able
to see for ourselves several common
sense reasons that ought TO make US
supply our lungs with mir through the
nose. Taken in by way Of the mouth
the air reaches the lungs by a much
shorter route and without the beneficial
warming and cleansing process so well
afforded by the longer nasal passage.
In winter especially should we take
care to breathe only through the nose,
thus lessening greatly our chances OF
taking deep seated colds. 1t Is merely
q matter OF habit and simply a ques
ton Of trying after all.

THE HEAOLESS BANDIT.
Queer story From the Archives of
the Vienna Courts.

DR.. Loye, French physician, who
greatly interested himself In the ques-
ton, "What passes in the head OF
decapitated human beingE related the
following remarkable story, which he
stated was taken from the archives OF
the Vienna courts: It was in the year
that Schoenenbnrg, a we'll known
bandit, and four Of his associates were
caught and condemned to death They
were already ON their knees ready to
pay the penalty Of their bloody deeds
by submitting to the awful fate Of de-
capitation when Schocnenburg address
ed the Judge. asking that his four com
panlons might be pardoned on certain
conditions. If" asked the bandit
after | am beheaded | get UP and
walk to the first Of my comrades, will
you pardon him" The Judge thought
that he was pretty safe in complying
with the request Then" continued
Schoenenburg, "if | walk to the sec
ond, the third and the fourth, will you
pardon them also?' The Judge replied
that If such a miraculous feat could
be performed he would obtain pardons
for the other three also. The bandit
was now satisfied, and, bending his
head, he received the fatal blow. In
stantly the head rolled down In the
sand, but to the surprise and horror Of
all present the headless trunk arose
and walked alone. Aimlessly, 1t ap-
peared. the body walked around until
1t passed the first, the second, the third
and the fourth condemned bandit.
when 1t fell down and became motion

GRUB STREET IN NEW YORK
A GAstronomic Assignment and the
Fate of an Epic.

A GRstronomic Assignment and the
Fate OF an Epic.
A story Is told OF a poet who came
TO the metropolis with a completed
epic. This found no acceptance, sc
after cursing the stupidity of the pub
lie and the publishers he took to writ
ing Sunday stuff" Soon the matter
of fact attitude of the workers around
him, with the practical view of the
market he acquired, led him to doubt
the literary value of the work he had
done In the sentimental atmosphere
of his native place.
Frequently a commission to write q
column Of humor week came to him
and he cut his epic into short lengths
tackled squib on each fragment and
eventually succeeded in printing 1t al
as humor at price many times larger
than the historic one brought by Para
disc Lost"
Another newcomer brought unstable
plays and high notions of the austerity
of the artistic vocation. Three months
after his arrival he was delighted tc
get q commission to write the hand
book a unitarian publisher proposed
to sell to visitors seeing the metropolis
This commission brought not only q
fair payment for the manuscript on de
livery, but involved vital secondary
consideration The title OF the work
was Where to Eat In New York,
and Its preparation made 1t necessary
for the author to dine each evening

One of the most peculiar things in
the whole history Of signs Is the fact
that while all other shopkeepers were
patronizlng the embryo painters the
tobacconist always called upon the
woodcarver on the continent as we'll as
In England. As long ago as Eliza
beth's reign the wooden image of the
black boy was the favorlte sign of
the tobacco dealers. Later the Gus
tomary sign was the highlander or a
figure OF Sir Walter Raleigh. In Hol-
land for some strange reason, the to
bacconists adopted the dairymaid as
their sign, with the motto, "Consola-
ton for sucklngs" The Indian, nat
urally enough, has always been the
predominant sign in this country. al
though once in awhile a reyerslon to
type crops out with the ancient black
boy.

Some of the eastern nations use love
potons differently. If n girl loves a
man and he seems cold. she contriyes
