His father was saved the sad spec

Young Hollingsworth was arrested

Printers Errors.

A certain great authority on Jerusa-
lem was in the habit of contracting the
name of the city in his Ms. to "Jerus.
n one of his books upon the subject
he described the sensations which at
tended his approach to the famous city.
After reaching the summit of hill,
"the glorious panorama Of Jerusalem"
he wrote, "was spread before U.S."
Owing to the usual contraction the
genial compositor rendered this "the
glorious panorama Of Jones was spread
before U.s." A misprint which will al
ways bear repetition is that concerned
with the sailors wife who wished 1t to
be announced: "A sailor going to sea,
his wife desires the prayers Of the con-
gregation." This got itself rendered
into: "A sailor going to see his wife
desires the prayers of the congrega-
tion." Before we condemn the compos-
itor who perpetrated this, however, we
must bear in mind the possible nature
of his own domestic relations. Anoth-
er excellent one Is that of the editor
VINO wrote: When Mrs. Jones lectured
on Dress she wore nothing that was
remarkable" How the compositor
came to the conclusion that this should
read, when Mrs. Jones lectured on
Dress she wore nothing. That was
remarkable!" is a mystery.-T. P.'s

sHoRTNESS OF BREATH.
Some of Its Causes-Treatmen by
Systematic Exercise.

Some of Its Causes-Treatmen by
Systematic Exercise.
Respiration in health and under
normal conditions Of rest or moderate
exercise Is an unconscious act, almost
as much so as digestion or the beating
of the heart, but it is very easily dis
turbed, even in health, and in certain
diseases its disturbance is often one
of the most distressing symptoms. The
short breath following violent exer-
ton, such as running or hill climbing,
Is familiar to every one. 1t is due to
the increased call for oxygenation Of
the blood and the temporary inability
of the heart to pump the blood In
sufficient volume through the lungs.
When shortness of breath Is brought
about by moderate exercise or mental
excitement 1t Is due to some abnormal
condition, such as anaemia, obesity, a
weak heart or indigestion. This ten
dency is relieved by attention to the
weak point, whatever 1t may be. and
judicious system Of exercise-a sort
Of modified training.
Permanent shortness Of breath, or
dyspnoea, as 1t is technically called,
is a more serious affair, and is usually
due to some actual disease. What the
disease is Of which this dyspnoea is a
symptom can often be discovered only
by careful and thorough medical ex-
animation Of all the organs of the
body
It Is often called asthma and treat
ed at home by inhaling the fumes Of
burning nitre paper or by some other
of the ordinary remedies; but asthma
Is a distinct disease, although its true
nature is not yet definitely determin-
ed. 1t occurs in paroxysms, usually
at night, in the intervals Of which the
breathing is generally easy and quiet.
Permanent dyspnoea is another matter
and is an indication of something
wrong. 1t may be due to a great va
riety Of causes, only few of which
can be mentioned here.
Anaemia, or poverty Of blood, may
give rise 10 permanent uySpHoed, d.
we'll as to shortness Of breath on ex-
ertion. The symptom is a regular ac-
compartment Of diminished lung ca
pacity, either through consolidation Of
more or less Of the lung tissue in tu-
berculosis or pneumonia, or through
compression of the lungs by an accu-
mutation of fluid or air in the chest.
Anything that interferes with the
free action Of the heart, such as weak
ness of the cardiac muscle or disease
Of the valves of the heart, pressure by
fatty deposits, an enlarged liver or gas
in the stomach, will produce short
ness Of breath.
Short breath in children is common
ly the result of obstruction in the air
passage, caused by enlarged tonsils,
the presence of glandular tissue in the
pharynx called adenoids, or a swollen
condition of the mucous membranes
in the larynx.
Persistent shortness Of breath is
symptom that should not be neglected.

the Rifferos prefer to lure detached par
ties into an ambush or defile and thus
infiict loss upon them. The mounted
men seldom dismount to fire, and the
firing being from the saddle is very in
accurate. Should the advance Of the
white troops be slow or hesitating the
Moors effect a bold combination be-
tween horsemen and footmen and gen.
orally succeed in inf1icting heavy losses
on their enemy. The prime tactics of
the Moors are to delay the advance of
an enemy as much as possible by
mounted rife fire until they can dis
cern its extent and direction and subse-
quently to try and envelop the advanc-
sniping, but not to very great extent,
and they also fight individually. They
do not neglect opportunities for strata
gem and can effect some very clever
ruses. They are also guilty Of abusing
the services Of the white flag in action.
as the French troops found to their cost
during the operations around Casa
Blanca The Moorish intelligence sys-
tenn Is an excellent one and the tribes
are seldom without information regard
ing the movements Of an enemy. They
have also an excellent system Of sig
mailing at night by means Of small fires
dotted about the hills and ravines, and
which are obscured and revealed in ac-
cordance with an ingenious code of sig
malls known to themselves-London Mil

But the Motive!

Jerome s. INVADE, the Duluth mil
nonaire collector, said at dinner
apropos of the Hudson-Fulion cele-
bration:
"These celebrations, 1t is true, are
of great financial advantage to a city;
but it is false to say that purely sell
fish motives underiie them. 1t Is
false to compare a city giving Hud-
son-Fulton celebration with the cairn-
building Pike county farmer.
pike county is the stoniest one In
the world. Stones and rattlesnakes-
that is Pike. And the farmer 1 al
lude to said to me one day:
Never tolt zee. Mr.. McWade. how
I rid my farm Of stones, did 1. Wall,
an idear struck me wunst, and !
gathered up a few stones in bad

the road, and stuck up sign readin'
"Cairn in memory Of Lincoln.

Every blasted hunter and fisher what
druv past climbed out and piously ad-
ded a few stones to my cairn. And
when that there field was all stoned,

next field, and moved my sign over to

HIS CORRECTION.
The American Know a Little About
Shakespeare and English.

Shakespeare and English.
An English literary man who visited
this country some years ago to lect-
ure frankly declared that he came not
expecting to find accurate scholarship
among Americans, especially on pure
ly literary subjects, adding affably:
you have been too busy and useful
a nation In practical matters to give
much time to the arts and graces of
learning"
During the dinner at which he made
this remark he criticised Shakespeare,
sharply declaring that his metaphors
often were absurd, "as, for example" !"
he said, "'Sleep that knits up the raw
eled sleave Of care How ridiculous
to figure sleep as knitting up a torn
sleeve Of a coat"
A young American sitting near him
said modestly: II think the word is
not sleeve, but sleave, the thin fluff of
a damaged web. 1t Is a technical ex-
preston among weavers."
"In the United States probably!" re-
torted the critic irritably. Shakes
peare never could have heard it. He
meant sleeve"
Il believe" persisted the American
gently, "the word Is printed sleave in
all the old editions. It is not an
American word, but has been used
for centuries by weavers in Scotland
and the north Of England"
The visitor frowned and then with
English frankness said, laughing.
THANK you. I was mistaken. Per-
haps I am mistaken about other
things and will he corrected before
leave your shoreg."
