The Danger Of Lying In Bed.

Lack of muscular exercise Is the mrs.
result Of lying in bed. As a result the
appetite is weakened. the digestive &C
ton slows down and the muscles OF tins
stomach and abdomen cease to ac'
upon the intestinal mass. When the
BODY is in q recumbent position the
heart works with the least expenditure
Of effort am the least fatigue and the
circulation and the functional activity
are decreased. But unless the subJeci
is exceptionally vigorous all the bene'
Gts are counterbalanced by dangers. 10
bed the subject is shut away from
fresh air and sunlight. The result OF
that deprivation is II condition similar
to anemia. But the supreme menace
to the weak or the aged confined TO bed
is the clogging Of the pulmonary circu
lation. an action which frequently re-
suits in passive congestion Of both sides
Of the lungs. For this reason the sim
pie fracture of a bone may be the
cause Of death, because when the pa
tent lies in bed there is no movement
Of the muscles to act as an incentive to
deep breathing.-Harper's.

The Aristocratic Montenegro.

The Bulgarian may not have liking
for domestic service. but he is a born
agricultural laborer. According to
recent traveller. If you give him a bar

grin brother will stand and look on

help being boor. But them" says
the London Chronicle. 1T is said the
Montenegrins are the descendants of
Servian aristocrats who fed to the
mountains to seek freedom. The ex-
PLANTATION is thin. but pleasing. OF one
claim to culture. however, Montene-
gro cannot be deprived-she established

The Drunkard's Cloak.

One of the quaint instruments Of tor
ture in England in olden time was a
device known as the drunkard's cloak.
1t was made Of wood and in shape re-
sembled a huge inverted fowerpOt
Through the small circular aperture in
the top was thrust the neck Of the i'm
prisoned inebriate. The weight Of this
ancient counterpart Of the straitjacket
fell on the victims shoulders and was
sufficient to make every bone in his
body ache. With his hands practically
pinned to his sides and the garment
reaching almost to the ground the only
motion allowed him was a slow shuttle
Of his weary feet as he dragged his
way painfully along. One can well be-
lieve that any one who had been COM
PEELED to don the drunkard's cloak
would be very apt to come to the con-
clusion that a high old time was not
worth having at the price.

RivaroI's Wit

Antoine Rivarol, the French epigram
matist Of the eighteenth century, was
so brilliant that something good was
expected of him every minute. Once
when he had been invited to dinner, al
which the hostess especially wished
him to shine. he sat quite silent. The
attitude of disappointed expectancy in
the company nettled him, and at last
Riyarol made stupid remark. Every
body uttered an exclamation.
There" said Rivarol. II cannot say
stupid thing without every ones cry

At a dinner in the house Of some
Germans he made joke. His hosts

RED CROSS STAMPS.

Mrs. Geo. Koppel and Mrs. J. c,
Mathewes, who have charge of the
distribution of the Red Cross stamps
on the West Side of the river, ask that
it be made known that this year spe-
cial efforts are to be made to bring up
the sale of the stamps to a higher
mark than ever before. The money
from the sale of these stamps goes for
the noble purpose of fighting tubercu-
losis, known as the Great White
Plague" In sending out your Xmas
presents be sure that you stamp each
one with a Red Cross stamp. Mrs.
Koppel and Mrs. Mathewes have ar
ranged for the sale of stamps at all of
the schools, the drug stores, and other
prominent places in our district.
There is to be a certain day set
which will be known as Red Cross
Stamp Day, when every one should
stamp themselves and every letter
mailed that day.
Help along this noble work by the
purchase of a few stamps.
