Much Fresh Air Is Needed.

Trouble brings on heart conditions and lung difficulties, it is said, because there is then q lack of fresh air taken into the lungs and the breathing is never deep enough. Therefore, to make it habit to breathe deeply, whether one feels like it or not. is one of the best remedies for the difficulty in hand, whatever it may be. Again. not only must past blessings be inven- toried, but hope must be held out, which will give one goal to work for No one man or woman can live with out this aim in life. The joys or eavors in hand must be remembered, to be sure, but there must also be something ahead in view or there is resigned state of mind which is un- healthy.

Curious Was of the ATaEa

The Arab has some curious ways. He takes off his shoes when he enters house, but keeps on his hat. He reads and writes from right to left. He eats scarcely anything for break fast or dinner, but in the evening he sits down to hot meal swimming in oil. His sons eat with him, but the women of the household wait till the males have finished. The Arab rides a donkey when travelling, his wife walking behind, and he laughs at the idea of giving up his seat for wom- an. The Arab has one strong virtue, and that is he is rarely seen drunk.

Old Prussian Town,

Osnabruck is one of the most vener- able towns Of Prussia. In the closing years of the eighth century Chafle- znagne designated it as the capital of q bishopric, distinction which it en- Joyed without interruption for more than thousand years. In 1903 the see was suppressed, the last bishop being Frederick, duke of York, son of the English Hanoverian monarch, George III. In 1858 the city was restored to its religious eminence when it was again made the seat of Roman Catholic bishop.

Proper Physical Education.

The purpose of physical education is, of course, not merely to build up the bodies of boys today, but to put into the lives of boys that thing, whatever 1t is, that will make the boy stay strong and able-bodied when he reaches man. hood. Such men-lOvers of fresh air. of hiking in the wild, of sleeping out under the sky--men who can both en- joy and endure, are the men who will make up strong nation and not na- tiOn of Weaklings.-Scouting

Three Great Physicians.

You have heard of the doctor who on his deathbed was heard to murmur that he left behind three great phy- sicians. The three doctors at his bed side waited to hear their names and heard this: '"Three-water, air and exercise" We'll, all three are to be had for less than the asking. they are ours for the mere effort of taking them.

About two miles northeast of Su perior, Wyoming, are the Leucite hillg, which are made up largely of igncous rocks in the form of volcanic necks, sheets intrudcd into the stratiia0 rocks, and dikes cutting across the sedimentary strata. Associated with these intrusive rocks are volcanic cones and lava flows. These rocks have long been objects of scientific interest be cause of their unusual character. Late. " they have attracted additional inter. est by reason of the potash-rich min- eral, leucite, they contain, which may some day be utilized if a process can be found for extracting the potash cheaply. It has been estimated that the igneous rock of the Leucite hills contains more than 197 100000 tons of potash Bulletin 612. U. $. Geological Survey.

White of an Enu.

The white of an egg is made up of little cells filled with albumen. By beating the white these cells are rup- tured and oxygen frolu the air is in closed, which gives the white and light appearance of beaten eggs. The white of stale egg will no. inclose as much oxygen, will not be as light ana as easily digested as that of the fresh egg and is, of course less valuable. The importance of beating the egg in cold
 pure air is readily seen.--Exchange
