The Danger Of Lying In Bed.

Lack of muscular exercise Is the first
result of lying in bed. AS result the
appetite Is weakened. the digestive ac-
tion slows down and the muscles of the
stomach and abdomen cease to act
upon the intestinal mass When the
body is in recumbent position the
heart works with the least expenditure
of effort and the least fatigue and the
circulation and the functional activity
are decreased. But unless the subject
Is exceptionally vigorous all the bene-
fits are counterbalanced by dangers. In
bed the subject is shut away from
fresh air and sunlight. The result of
that deprivation is 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 bone may be the
cause of death, because when the pa
tient lies in bed there is no movement
of the muscles TO act as an incentive to
deep breathing -Harper's.

The Drunkard's Cloak.

One of the quaint instruments of tor
ture in England in olden time was n
device known rs the drunkard's cloak.
II was made OF wood and in shape re
sembled a huge inverted tiOwerpot.
Through the small circular aperture in
the top was thrust the neck of the i'm
priS0ned inehriate 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 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 Il high old time was not
worth having at the price.

Rivarol's Wit

Antoine Rivaroi. 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, at
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
Rivarol made stupid remark. Every
body uttered an exclamation.
There" said Rivarol, Il cannot say
stupid thing without every ones cry

JOKE WAS ON POLAND
Opposing Counsel Turned Laugh on
the CONGRESSMAN

the congressman
A paragraph in the Vermont his
tory of Lafayette Wilbur OF Jericho,
relates an amusing incident at the ex
pense of Judge Poland, known well
10 older inhabitants of Montpelier:
Judge Poland of Vermont reads
the story. was the last OF the Con-
gressmen who dressed in the oiu
Wing uniform OF buff and blue, a bun
vest and a blue coat with brass bu.
tons and white handkerchief, such
as Daniel Webster used to wear when
he addressed the Senate. The Judge
who was an excellent lawyer. was at
one time opposing counsel to Joshua
Sawyer in a case of assault and bat
terry. Sawyer had drawn a proiix
declaration IN which the assault APP
peared much worse than the witness
es had represented 1t. Commenting
on this difference, Poland told the
jury that the declaration reminded
him of an incident in his own prac-
tice.
Years ago, he said, began a
suit OF this character in favor of Asa
Barnard VS.. a certain major who in
fiicted corporal punishment upon my
client for the trivial offence OF telling
him he was a great liar. Barnard
asserted that the major struck him a
blow on the head with heavy can /.
and he came TO me to obtain redress
Il framed up a declaration in ten
counts, setting forth the beating, bru-
sing, wounding and evil treating with
all the Pathological nonsence / could
command. In the last count | recit-
ed that Barnards life was greatly
despaired of. read the declaration
to my client in a voice almost as sym
pathetic as that in which my brother
Sawyer read his declaration to sou
gentlemen. l noticed his tears and
asked the cause of his grief
with sobbing utterance he an
swered, i didn't know it was half so
bad before
Court and jury laughed at this
humorous suggestion that Sawyer's
evidence did not sustain Sawyer's
declaration and many thought, witty
as he was, he would be unable to
turn the laugh from himself He
said:
Gentlemen, you appeared to be
highly delighted when the learned
counsel related an incident of his
own practice. confess l was not
amused. My old friend Barnard has
told me the story many times, but
with this difference. He said he did
weep when Poland read lang paper
to him but that the paper was not
Poland's declaration. but his bill.
The retort upset everybody. Even
the grave judge laughed and no one
enjoyed the joke more than Poland
himself"
