Improper breathing is a frequent

too ignorant to breathe deep, and
hence the lungs are developed

Next Eclipse of the Moon.

The total eclipse Of the
moon, which will take place
on the 9th instant, will occur
at all hour very inconvenient
for persons wishing to observe
the phenomenon-manyn news
paper men excepted. The
Newbern Journal gives this
advance data of the occurs
renee: 1.-The moon will enter
the earth's penumbra at 1:12
a. M, eastern standard time,
and will first reach the full
shadow Of the earth at 2:11
a. m. At 3:14 a. M, she will
disappear completely in it
and will not begin to emerge
until 4:37 a. m. This is an
unusually long duration due
to the fact that the moon will
go almost centrally through
the earth's shadow, which
itself will be larger than usu>
al, the moon being near the
earth. At 5:38 a. m. the moon
will finally leave the shadow
and at 6:38 will get clear Of
penumbra and the eclipse will
be over" Which means that
the earth will this time make
almost centre-shot at the
| moon.

WHEN PRISONERS SHIVEREO.
nr. McCOrkIe Of IredeII Amended the Law
So as 10 ALLOW Fires in Jail.

It was the old notion that any
thing YVES too good for alleged Of
convicted criminals g and the more
severe the bodily torture the bet
ter it was for them. It was this
condition which stirred the heart
of John Howard till he aroused
England and brought about the
prison reforms which have been
adopted in all CIVILIZED lands.
But not until 1879 was fire al
lowed in the felon's cell of a
North Carolina Jail.
A few weeks ago there died in
Salisbury lady, Miss Sallie Nc
Corkle who was the oldest daugh.
ter of that chivalrous gentleman
and brilliant lawyer, the late Col.
J. M. McCorkle of S.. iisbury. She
was lady whose tender heart
went out in sympathy to all who
we're i'll distress.
Ia 1878 her uncle, the late DR..
J. R. McCorkle, represented Ire
dell in the Legislature, and on a
bitter cold December day went to
Salisbury on his way to Raleigh
to attend the session of the Legis-
latu1e, and spent that night with
his brother in Salisbury.
Miss Sallle had that evening
been to the jail to carry food to a
sick pvisonec and upon her return
home SAID: "Uncle John, ycu
can we'll serve the poor and helL-
less when you go to Raleigh by
having the law repealed which
prohibits fires iii jails." He was
surprised to know that such a law
existed to so recsnt a date or that
this good lady was instrumental
in the enactment Of a law fer
more humane system Of treatment
for prisoners.
This history should be preserved
and her memory reyered by those
who are 80 unfortunate as to be
prisoners and all others who have
hearts in sympathy with human
sufferers. No doubt whom she
passed into the beyond she heard
the commentator, 81 was sick
and in prison and ye visited me. "
She was cultured gentlewoman
