A simple way to get warm after
exposure to cold is to take long
breath with the mouth firmly shut.
Repeat this several times, until you
begin to feel the heat returning. 1t
reuires very short time to do this.
The long breath qulckens the pulse
and thus causes the blood to circulate
faster. The blood flows into all parts
of the veins and arteries and gives
out a great deal of heat. 1t is stated
that this method Of deep breathing
prevents colds and a great many
other ailments If begun in time

Observation-Disclosures.

Here IL the brook whore the bold pirates
ferTied,
swashbuClslins wretches, cOld-bloOded,
unkind;
Here is the tree where vast treasure was
buried,
DoubloonS we dug for but never could
find.
Aow things have changed since these
waters were riven,
Splashed with our paddle and churned
into foam
Since the dark nights when the picSaxe
was driven
When the lost treasure lay under the
loami
Here is the wood with its fastness un-
bounded,
Whence the red savage stole noiSelessly
out,
Warning US not till his warwhoop was
sounded,
Leaving us scalped on the greensward
about.
How things have changed from the steed
and the stirrup,
Flintlock and tomahawk whitfield from
lath,
Where our blood ran there's no fluid but
syrup,
From the sap naples along our war PATH
Here ia the plain where our scouts recon
noitred,
Drawing and creeping through morass
and glade,
Near by the scene of some scalp,lifting
raid.
How things have changed since the red
deer went leaping,
Since came the bison by hundreds TO
browse,
Silent the plain. where our brave scouts
went creeping,
Save for the lowing Of far distant COWS
Here is the cave where our clans were as
sembled,
Guarded by sentries, nor traitor could
reach;
Ghostly and tolnb-lile, where h7~oes dis
BloOd-chilling fears in their bOIdness OF
Bruce had a refuge here, Wallace lay
wounded
Hallowed its elammy walls, safe its re
treat,
Once twas labyrinth, gloomy, unsounded
IT'S but a gravel pit, just of the street
How things have changed in the years since
we knew them,
Pirate and redslzin and treasure ant
clan;
Men walk beside them and past them anG
through them,
Giving no heed that our blood there onct
ran.
Making no sign for the struggles thai
swept them,
Flintlock and scalplock, raid, warfare anC
strife,
How things have changed since we cher
ished and kept them!
All Of the romance is gone out Of life!

Cement From Blast Furnace Stag.

An invention which should have
far-reaching effect upon the Portland
cement industry, aud which incident
ally will enable a hitherto useless
product to be turned to commercial
advantage, has recently been per-
fected by Mr.. Sherard Cowper-Coles,
the we'll known English electro-metal-
lurgist. This invention consists of
the direct production of cement from
blast furnace Stag. The latter is
taken when still molten as it issues
from the furnace and conducted to
an electric furnace, where Its tenn
perature is further increased. Dur
ing this period PREDETERMINED guam
tity of chalk is added to the Stag, and
the whole then subjected to electro
lysis, which brings about certain re-
actions producing Portland cement
equal in strength and quality to the
best grades obtained by the existing
methods, at very small cost as COM
pared with the generally adopted pro-
cess and in practically one operation.

A Versatile Grand Duke.

The Grand Duke Constantine is by
far the most versatile of the Russian
Cars relations. Not only is he a
playwright, but he is also an actor,
and not many years ago he took the
part of Hamlet in a performance
which was witnessed by the imperial
family and by select members OF St.
Petersburg society. Last year the
grand duke amused his friends by is
suing, for private circulation only, a
semi-medical volume. His imperial
highness knows English as well as he
does his native language, and 1t is
probable that in the event of further
political upheavals in Russia he will
come and settle in this country.-Tit-

a DecIInInu Japanese Industry.

The forging of cimeter blades in
Japan was once flourishing industry
and the workers formed a close and
powerful corporation. But the indus
try has declined for years, and now
only two makers are left-Messrs'
sankyama and Myamoto. No young
Japanese has come forward to offer
himself as an apprentice, and the
question was referred to the Mikado
with view of perpetuating the indus
try.-London Globeul s.k

WOOL GROWERS IN SESSION.
Plans to Break Up the Wool Trust
Will Be Discussed.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. 20
Plans to break up the wool trust
will form the principal topics of dis
cussion at the annual convention of
the National Wool Growers Associa-
ton, which convened here today for a
three days session Many leading
wool growers are in attendance from
Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Washing
ton, Arizona, Montana, Idaho and
other states.
The growers believe that the prob
lem of giving them the control of the
industry and eliminating the middle
man and Spectator can be solved by
the establishment of storage ware
houses in the chief wool growing CEN
tiers. This plan has been placed in
operation ON a small scale in st. Paul
and Omaha and the results have been
highly satisfactory. 1t is now pro-
posed to inaugurate the scheme on a
large scale, with the establishment
of large storage plants in Chicago,
Denver, Omaha, Kansas City, Mime
apolis and other market centers. A
committee of the association has been
investigating the subject for several
months past and will report the re-
suits of its labors to the present con-
vention.

ed. 1t is estimated that in eighteen
years the company will be able to
harvest from six to eight ties to a
tree, and keep up the harvest there
after continually AT present the
Santa Fe system uses about 100000
ties annually. In eighteen years the
company thinks it will be able to OBJ
tain from its forest 100000 annually.
The growing scarcity of timber suit
able for ties, with a resultant increase
in their cost, has led eleven roads,
including the Santa Fe, to start for
ests. Ten roads in the east have al
ready planted in their respective for
est sites thousands of catalpa, black
locust, red oak, pin oak, and chestnut.
The Santa Fe has selected the
eucalyptus because of its rapid
growth and adaptability to the climate
of California, New Mexico and Texas.
Eucalyptus ties in Hawaii are said
to last fifteen years. East of Albur-
querque the Santa Fe is using Geor-
gia pine. At present both the Santa
Fe and Southern Pacific are using
many thousands of redwood ties on
the coast. They are also getting oak
en- ties from Japan.-Scientific Amer
