FILLING THE LUNGS.
Correct and Deep Breathing It Essen
tial to Good Health.
No piece of advice the physician can
give will bein' more frequent repetition
than the pithy sentence. “Breathe
deeply.” It is a perfectly simple ride
of health, yet it is constantly broken, j
There are two ways to learn to |
breathe. If our powers of self disci
pline are poor, ns is the case with most
insulDcieut breathers, It is a good plan
to join n gymnasium or calisthenlc class
and learn to use the lungs as a baby
learns to use its feet and hands. But
remember that lessons in breathing
will do no good if t’'e scholar thinks he
is absolved from bit, task except when
lie is in the class.
A simpler method for those who
have not time or opportunity to at
tend a gymnasium is to turn life's daily
routine into a continuous discipline in
breathing. If the poor breather takes
the trouble to watch himself carefully
lie will find that when he is engaged
upon any work that calls for close at
tention be does not even breathe ns
deeply ns usual: he almost Invariably j
holds liis breath. Thus the cuv ;
rent is vitiated when it ought to be
cleansed, and the worker exhausts
himself, not so much by his labors as
by his neglect.
Draw in deep drafts of air every
time you take a breath, and every lit
tle while stop everything else and fill j
your lungs a few times with breaths |
that test their capacity. You will be |
surprised to see the improvement that ;
it will make in your general condition, j
—Timely Doctor.
PRUNING BY RAIN.
One of Nature's Many Methods of
Thinning Her Forests.
Nature lias many ways of thinning
and pruning and trimming her forests
—lightning strokes, heavy snows and
storm winds to shatter and blow down
whole trees here and there or break off
branches as required. The results of
those methods I have observed in dif
ferent forests, hut only once have 1
seen pruning by rain.
The rain froze on the trees as it fell
and grew so thick and heavy that
many of them lost a third or more of
their branches. The view of the
woods after the storm had passed and
the sun shone forth was something
never to be forgotten. Every twig
and branch and rugged trunk was en
cased In pure crystal ice, and each oak
and hickory and willow became a fairy
crystal palace. Such dazzling bril
linuce, such effects of white light and
irised light, glowing and flashing. I
had never seen, nor have 1 since.
This sudden change of the leafless
woods to glowing silver was. like the
great aurora, spoken of for years and
is one of the most beautiful of the
many pictures that enrich my life.
And besides the great shows there
were thousands of others, even in the
coldest weather, manifesting the ut
most fineness and tenderness of beau
ty and affording noble compensation for
hardship and pain.—Atlantic Monthly.
Red as a Cure.
in England, says the London Globe,
apothecaries for many years were firm
believers in (he efficacy of the color
red as a combatant of disease. Pa
tients. especially those suffering from
rheumatism, were frequently wrapped
in red blankets and dressed in red
clothes. "Let your nightcap he of
scarlet." recommended Andrew Bor
den in his discourse on sleep, “and
petycote of scarlet also,” while a
physician in the sixteenth century ad
visisl that the face ho washed once a
week and then wiped with a red cloth.
Upon (his latter item of the prescrip
tion great stress was laid—no doubt
the color of the cloth was intended to
act as an antidote against the chill of
such frequent ablutions.
Grease a Cause of Disease.
(•reuse in a sink is a very prolific :
cause of disease. It cannot but accu
mulate from dishes and utensils, and
when small bits of vegetable matter j
adhere to It a shelter is given to mis
chievous bacteria. Besides, grease ;
will elog the drain and become a men- :
ace and an inconvenience. The surest
and simplest cleansing agent is a
strong solution of washing soda and
boiling water. The sink should tirsi
be scrubbed with soapsuds and the
hot solution then dashed down the
drain. This cleaning should lie done
at least once a week.— Chicago News. i

over this same “burn" for another
hol^ and drove right Into it. “Gang

sewer!” he growled.—Argonaut.
