A few years ago, George Catlin
wrote a pamphlet, which was pub
HklloH ill h'lirrirttiH sn/t to
... Hiiva 10 nvtt iru
ir.g translated in moat other European
languages, on the importance
of breathing through the
nose, in order to preserve health.?
lie has made observations on this
subject, first among civilized nations.
finding that individuals who
habitually kee; their mouths open
are never very healthy or long
lived. Afterward, he observed the
same thing during a sojourn of
many years among the Indians of
North and South America ; and he
has come to* the conclusion that
there exists a definite law for
breathing and Bleeping, obedience
to which must exercise the most
beneficial influence on the well be
ing of the human race, and which
cannot be too strongly insisted up
t>n. Mothers, and all others who
have children to educate, should
be persuaded of its great importance.
ttmt they may inculcate upon
their children and pupils the gold
en lesson contained in these four
words, 44 Keep your mouth shut."
Hitherto this advice has been considered
only as a moral injunction,
to restrain children from talking
too much ; but Catlin prescribes it
Jiierully, and insists that air should
only pass in or out of the lungs by I
the nose, except in the act of speak- J
ing or singing, lie is bo enthusiastic
jcunceruing the grent value of
this simple hygienic recipe that he
closes the bonk with the following
remarks : *4 If I had a million of
dollars to spend for a charitable
purpose, surpassing all others in
value, I wouhi spend it to print
four millions of my books, and dis
n-ibnte them among tour millions
mot here, rich as weil as poor. I
would not obtain therefor any monmnent
nor decoration of nobility ;
L?ut 1 would, which is much better,
liave obtained the peculiarly joyful
satisfaction that 1 had left posterity
a legacy of much higher
value than money ever can have."
There is no doubt that the advice
is good. The air, by l>eing in- ,
inhaled through the nose, is more
pe fecily treed from dusi, and in 1
m inter reaches the lungs in a warm
er condition than when inhaled by
ihe month, (which is of great importance
to people with weak
lungs.) It keeps the lower forward
portion ot the brain cool, when inlialed
by the nose; while it dries (
he saliva, and thus interferes wi?li ,
ligestion, when inhaled by the (
uouth ; and those who s!eep with {
heir mouths shut will not have (
hat di*3', unpleasant taste when ,
hey awake in the morning, and (
ire less subject to that noctural ,
ocial nuisance?snoring. ,
There are a few other points of
ninor importance, but worth men- 1
ioning. A habitually open mouth i
fives a most stupid expression to j
my face, and, usually, only the ig- <
torant classes have this habit; ]
rhile the more refined generally I
>ossess the opposite habit, and \
:eep tlieir mouths instinctively I
hut. <
However, in regard to the theory
hat life is shortened by the habit
f breathing through the mouth, <
re are satitled that it depends on <
not her cause, namely, a defect in c
he primary organisation ot tiiein- s
ividua). The channels ot tlie t
<?e are often not left wide enough g
i admit sufficient air for respira- t
ion ; so that the individual is com- ],
tiled to fespire at least a portion e
f it through the mouth. It is a t
ict known by connoisseurs of fc
orses, tJAt when tlieir nostrils are
x> narrow they cannot stand
inch fatigao, are short-winded,
over live long, and soon break ^
own. But, as the horse cannot jt
i
breathe through Ins mouth at all,
the defect in question is more dangerous
to hitu than to man, and of- |
ten ftital when he is over-worked. <
In many instances, however, we {
feel confident thai breathing ,
through the mouth is a matter of ,
necessity,- at least in part; but
tlnAigh the detect in the construction
of the breathing passages cannot
be overcome bv an effort of
the will, it may still mitigate the
evil.?Manufacturer and Builder.

George Mills writes as follows
to the Chicago Tribnne:
On the evening of the 10th day
of July, 1870, I was struck by
lightning, under the following circumstances:
I am a farmer, and
had g??ne to the pasture, threefourths
of a mile trom the house,
on horseback, to drive home the
cows. A heavy shower had just
fallen, accompanied by much lightning
and loud thunder, and a little
rain was still fulling?we would
say it was "sprinkling." While
riding through the field 1 discovered
a small cluster of cockle buns,
a noxions weed that infests many
farms in this section of the country.
The cattle were feedinrf near
me. I dismounted and held the
horse with one hand, and proceeded
to pull tip the burrs with the
other. While stooping to pull up
the last one, tny hand grasped close
to the root, the horse standing with
his hood norilu ?

body, aflosh of lightning struck
the horse, entering his head in and
behind his left ear, tearing two
holes in the skin behind the ear,
and though he was wet with the
rain, the hair was singed from his
head, neck, shoulders, and one
frout leg to the ground ; he, of
course, was iustantly killed. A
small portion of the electric fluid
struck mo on the right temple,
singeing the lashes of the right eye
anu slightly burning or scalduig
the face, rendering me unconscious
tor a little time. The following
were the sensations and
phenomena, as I observed and re
mernbered them : * First, I felt
myself enveloped in a sheet of perfectly
white light, accompanied
hy a sense of suffocation by heat.
The light could bo seen as well
through the back of the head as
with the eyes, and appeared to extend
several feet on all sides of me;
then I experienced a sense of danger
and tried to escape injury from
my horse. Then followed a troubled
dream, in which I was haul-ing
a load of hay in company with
another person, and, in spite of all
the effort I made to avoid, the load
of hay wm nbmit to fall on me ?

desperate effort to spring from under
the liny, I found invselt standing
on iny feet. The first thing I
observed was that the cattle, in
fright, were running from me, and
next, that I stood in front of the
prostrate horse. Instantly, I comprehended
the situation, and listened
to hear the thunder that
should have accompanied the lightning,
but no thunder could be
heard. I felt no pain and no sensation,
except a mental exultation,
which lasted but a few seconds.?
At first 1 thought the lightning had
struck near me, and had slightly
stunned myself and the horse.? |
Tlien I observed the water on every
hair and the moisture in the
eyes, nostrils and inouth of the
horse to be boiling, having the appearance
and making a noise like
tine drops of water on a hot iron.
which continued tor several ee
conds. This was a phenomenon I
never have heard ot, probably because
a person near enough to see
it is most always rendered nnconscious
too long to make the ol>?erva:ion.
Judging from the dis
lance the cattle had run, I was
probably, unconscious less than six
seconds.
Finding that the horse did not
breathe, F proceeded to pull off the
saddle and bridle, and then I felt

Rotation a Law in Agricaltars.
The farmer grows a certain
kind of potato year after year art*
til it fails to prod nig fug same
good erops it once did. He send
s few hundreds of miles tor new
leed of the same variety, and it
will at once, and without his adding
anything to the soil, produce
as good crops aa it ever did. We
have bcara agriculturists deny
the possibility of this, but we
think that most practical farmers
know that this is really the case.
Yet surely the same variety of
potatoes require only the self
eamo elements. There has been
no other difference bot tho
change.
So also in the matter of mannre.
People sometimes find bcuefit
from phosphates, or gnano, or
some other commercial fertilizer.
But in a few years it turns out to
be no better than brick dust; but
any other kind of manure will
have a wonderful effect. We
knew a friend once who nsed to
raise enormous crops in his vouo*
table garden, which was annually
manured from hie horse stable.?
It failed at last. Even woeds
seemed to despise it. He chang
e 1 from horse to cow manure, ttiid
again wonderful crops rewarded
linn. Chemically there was not
much difference in tho manure.?
The change was more than all.
It is well to remember that this
is a general principle. Nature
loves change. There is a seeming
contradiction, for wo speak of the
certainty of nature's laws. But

A Title to Which There is no Title.
Why should we prefix " Reverend
" to certain persons* names i
It a man is truly reverend, it is
not from his title but from his
character. Wo know of clergymen
who inspire very little rover
er.ee; we know of laymen who
inspire a great deal. Why attribute
to one what he does not possess,
and deny to Another what he'
does ? There might., for instance,
l>e a propriety in faying the Rev.
William Cnlleu Bryant, even
though this good man is not a
minister ; but the fitness of-things
is violated by affixing *n ftrtiHoiot
r P
reverence lo some clergyman who
line no other claim to it than from
the office which he holds. And
as to the conventional sanctity
attaching to the clerical function*
? the 44 divinity that doth hedge "
a minister?wo cannot sec what
there is more sacred in one manV
standing in a pulpit than in another's
sitting in a pew. Why
should a priest, any more than a
parishioner, he culled 44 reverend
?" Certainly it is a rare fact
in the hi tory of any chinch when
the minister pioves himself to he
the best man in the congregation.
Ho does not derive his flattering
title from any real or supposed
moral superiority over his brethren,
many of whom arc more than
his peers; and he omrlit ~
_ - ...v .v.. o
to refuse a designation which
makes him apparently say to his
fellow-man, " 1 am holier than
thou." We know of very many
high minded clergyman who feel
fettered by their fardels, and who'
would gladly disentangle their1
names of such uncomely ornaments.
But there is no objeelion
to calling a religious teacher
a doctor ot divinity. This designation
exactly describes his vocation.
We suggest that clergymen
should abolish the untrue prefixRev.,"
