Health Benefit Of Yawning.

Yawning Is said to have an exceed
ingly healthful function besides hav-
ing a salutary effect in complaints OF
the pharynx and the eustachian tubes.
According to Investigations yawning
is the most natural form of respira-
tory exercise, bringing into action all
the respiratory muscles of the neck
and chest 1t is recommended that
every person should have good yawn
with the stretching of the limbs morn
ing and evening for the purpose OF
ventilating the lungs and tonifying the
respiratory muscles.
An eminent authority asserts that
this form of gymnastics has remark
able effect in relieving throat and ear
troubles, and says that patients suf-
fering from disorders of the throat
have derived great benefit from il. lie
says he makes his patients yawn, by
suggestion or imitation, or by series
of deep breaths with the lips partly
closed
The yawning is repeated six or sew
en- times, and should be followed by
swallowing BY this process the air
and mucus in the eustachian tubes are
aspirated.

Narcotics in Euypt.

The limited field in Egypt for the
sale of manufactured tobacco other
than cigarettes would hardly warrant
its manufacture there on large scale.
The native smokes cigarettes and
tombac. Tombac is mixture of to-
bacco and other ingredients and is
smoked in the water pipe. The local
Greeks and Italians, of whom there
are large colonies, smoke cigarettes
and the cheaper grades of cigars. The
higher grades of cigars and pipe to-
bacco are smoked by the better class
of europeans.

dissatisfied, eager for some good for
tune that would enable her to live
without labor. Natalie was a proh-
cient musician with piano and violin,
and gave lessons. paying her grasping
married sister more than a fair sum
for board.

flashed in upon Natalie at the piano

excitement.

There ensued a period of rare de
