What Breathing Amounts To.

In each respiration an average adult
1nhales one pint Of air. A man respires
sixteen to twenty times a minute, and
young child about twenty-five to
thirty-fve times. While in a standing
posture the number of respirations is
greater than when lying down. A man
takes only thirteen breaths of air to the
minute while reclining. The superficial
surface of the lungs is 200 square
yards. The amount of air inspired by
an adult in twenty-four hours is about
10000 quarts. The least amount of air
needed by an adult in one hour is $50
quarts. The heart sends through the
lungs 5000 gallons of blood daily.

After Death.

1t is very singular how the fact Of a
mans death often seems to give peo-
pie truer idea of his character,
whether for good or for evil, than
they have ever possessed while he was
living and acting among men. Death
Is so genuine a fact that it excludes
falsehood or betrays its emptiness. 1t
is touchstone that proves the gold
and dishonOrs the baser metal. Could
the departed, whoever he may be, re-
turn in week after his decease he
would almost invariably find himself
at higher or lower point than he
had formerly occupied in the scale of
public appreciation

this year, for before this letter is
printed another year will replace the
old one that must be forever buried

year to each of the Ledger's en-
ployes, and may good and not evil
follow each and everyone.
This morning this place was visited
by light fall OF snow,y giving the
VIC odland an oriental cast. AS one

THE SHAMROCK.
At One Time 1t Was Used For Foo,
In Ireland.

At One Time 1t Was Used For Food
In Ireland.
That the shamrock was used as diet
before 1t was adopted at the national
emblem has been conclusively demon
strated, though in proving the fact one
writer borrows from another. Very
few drew their Information from per-
sonal observation. Spenser undoubted-
ly did, and he is perhaps responsible
for the familiarization of this fact to
his contemporaries. l quote the pas
sage from 1.-The View of the Present
State of Ireland"
"Out of every corner of the woods
and CHIMES they came creeping foorthe
upon theyr handes,. for theyr legges
could not beare them. They looked
like anatomyes of death; they spake
like ghostes crying out of theyr graves:
they did eat of the dead cartons, and
yf they founde plotte of'water crosses
or shamrokes there they fiocked as to a
feast for the time"
This dietary use was known to the
Elizabethan dramatists.

"The shamrock thus used for food"

perhaps both, of the meadow clovers,

A Remarkable Carrier Pigeon.

A remarkable story of the sagacity
and physical endurance of a carrier
pigeon is told In Nansen's story of his
arctic explorations. One day the pigeon
tapped at the window of Mrs. Nansen's
home in Christiania. 1t was immedi-
ately opened, and the little messenger
was covered with kisses and caresses
by the explorers wife. After an alb
sence of thirty months from the, cot
tage the pigeon had brought a note
from the explorer over thousand
miles Of frozen waste and another
thousand of ocean, plain and forest.

Most Birds Love TOYS:

Most birds love toys. The playthings
help to while away the time and pre-
vent them from tearing their plumage.
Parrots are especially devoted to play

STORE AND MERCHANDISE BURN.

On Thursday night of last week the
store and merchandise Of Smith &
Marsh, at Miskimon, Northumberland
county, was totally destroyed by fire.
The building was owned by Mr. Forces
ter, who carried no insurance. The
stock OF goods belonged to Wayland J.
Marsh, who last January bought out
Geo. III. Smith. There is some doubt
as to whether the stock, worth about
$4,000, is insured or not. Smith &
Marsh carried 81, 500 in the Northern
Neck Mutual Fire Association, but no
transfer of policy had been made nor
was the assessment due August paid.
Origin IF the fire is uncertain, being
attributed by Mr.. Marsh either to rats
and matches or to some one who robbed,
the cash register. In the latter were
found only few pennies, though some
thirty dollars in silver had been left in it.
The bodybuilding plant of ]. w. Nc
Aloney, located at Fairport, Northum-
berland county, together with contents,

Loss about $4,000. No insurance.

with his family in his house and when
an unusually loud clap of thunder was
heard, remarked to his wife that it
sounded like the barn was struck.
Soon smoke was seen coming out of the
building. 1t was raining hard at the
time but in very short while the barn
and contents were ashes. Luckily the
horses and cattle were, all out in the
fields. Mr.. Smither has $500 insurance on
