PROPER BREATHING. INHALE THROUGH THE NOSTRILS, AND NOT THE MOUTH. formal Breathing: Will Help Materially to Induce Perfect Development?Without Normal Breathing Such Development In Impossible. Tbat nature intended man for all climates is u?qiretn?>tK<l, but if mau live other than nature intended be should be must be content with dire consequences so far as health is concerned. And why is it tbat certain individuals enjoy better health in certain climates than in others? To my mind, the reason in a majority of cases is that they are mouth breathers and bear better the mild than the severe climate. Who are afflicted with chronic nose, throat and chest affections? The mouth breather always, and we will never stamp out such conditions as pulmonary tuberculosis, together with numerous other affections of the respiratory tract, until we, the human family, have learned to take every inspiration through the nose. I have taken the liberty to divide mouth breathers into two classes, confirmed and moderate. The first breathes almost continually with open mouth. The second is not conscious that he breathes other than through the nor ma! channels and will not admit that he does otherwise until you convince him such is the case. It is my cusiorn to engage the doubting one in conversation or have him read for me. when he will be surprised to learn that he has spoken several sentences or read many paragraphs without once closing his mouth. He it is who. after lecturing or reading aloud or perhaps singing, is dry of mouth and husky of speech and wonders why. Treatment: Restore the nose to as nearly a normal condition, physiologically speaking, as possible, and theu insist upon your patient using it. So long as tbe spray, douche and solution treatment generally are patronized just so long will we fail to get good results, for. as Dr. Leland remarks, the nose wants air and not water. Douching and spraying are contrary to nature and should never be prac ticed. When the patient is a mouth breather through habit, and this may be determined by having him breathe first through one nostril and then through the other, it is my custom to order him to breathe forcibly through his nostrils at the rate of one respiration per second for ten seconds, this to constitute one exercise, to be repeated often, perhaps eight or ten times during the day. He will find that this more than compensates for his spray, for having used the spray in the morning he is "filled up," as he expresses it, long before noon. His nose he can exercise at will and thus keep it free. The exercise 1 prescribe for all patients during the process of repair following operations, to be continued until they are confirmed nasal breathers. A mouth guard should be worn at night for a few weeks. If we are going -o cure nasal catarrh and other respiratory difficulties, the respiratory .tract being freed of all obstructions and irritable areas, the patient must be taught to breathe normally. Irritable areas are not always detected by the probe; therefore we cannot depend upon that method, but must not* that these patches have a characteristic appearance. They are found not only in the nose, but often times in the nasopharynx and pharynx as well and are of a pale, waterlogged appearance. They may be obliterated surgically or by cauterization, and if the nose thereafter is properly used like areas do not return. This may be said for all hypertrophic removals. To bring about a permanent patency of the eustachian tube the individual must become a nasal breather. Therefore it Is absolutely essential to overcome or permanently improve most varieties of "deafness and tinnitus aurium that the patient breathe through the nose at all times. The eustachian catheter is often harmful, acting as a mechanical irritant and thus assisting the progress of an already thickened and perhaps irritable membrane. The dilatation of the cheeks of the patient and the inflation perhaps for the first few treatments of air medicated and thereafter with air in its purity, or Professor Politzer's method, the patient being careful between times to continue his breathing exercise, are vastly superior to other forms of inflation. Air is what the thickened, eustachian orifipe needs to return it to a normal state, and this applies to the thickened or collapsed eustachian tube und middle ear as well, also the accessory nasal cavities. The oxygen treatment is familiar, but why use oxygen artificially when air breathed normallv will sjpplv it? Your patient cnn "go to a mikler climate and breathe with open mouth and be benefited, but would it not be far better for him to remain at home, breathe through his nose and fully recover? Commence with the babe. Make it a special point that it breathe through the nose, if it cannot know the reason why. Certainly if the Indian mother recognized the necessity and insisted that her babe breathe properly the civilized mother of today should. Follow it from babyhood to childhood. Impress the necessity upon it as a child, and, barring accident, it will never breathe otherwise. If it is found following an accident from a fall or blow that the nose is not free have the fault corrected. Normal bmathing will help materially to bring about perfect development. and without normal breathing stxtIi development cannot be attained.?Medical Record. tin the good old days the sex'on announc- . ed a death in the community by a stroke on the church bell for every year of the life that was gone.

Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. Worth His Weight In Gold. The maharajah of Travancore was, on one occasion at least, worth his weight in gold, for he was weighed against a pure mass of the king of metals, and. after the scales were balanced. the mass of gold was distributed in charity. This custom, called "Tulabhara," is one of great antiquity and is said to be traceable in Travancore to the fourth century. It is uot unknown in other parts of India, though, of course, gold is only used in the case of wealthy persons, humbler folk being content to weigh themselves against j spices or grain. On the occasion inen' t _i. ?,l t: tioneci ine macarajaii wwgueu a muc over nine stone. The Brahmans, it is said, wished to defer the ceremony in the hope that the maharajah mig t more nearly approach the weight of his father, who did not undergo the rite until forty-seven years old. when he weighed fourteen and three-quarter stone.?Golden Penny.

Tommaso Salvini, the great actor, although he gave every assistance to his son when he had proved his ability on the stage, was averse at tirst to his becoming an actor and would not help him to obtain a hearing. The young man's first appearance was made by favor of Clara Morris, his go<'d friend, at a charity entertainmentJdn Yonkers, where he recited "The Charge of the Light Brigade." lie was then very young, very eager and still delightfully queer in his English. A few days before the great occasion some one used in his presence the word claptrap. "What's that?" demanded young Alessandro at once. "Clap is so," he struck his hands together. "Trap is for rats. What, then, is claptrap?" "It is a vulgar or unworthy bid for applause.' ms nosioss expjnmeu. "Kali!" he rejoined, with contempt. "I know him. That cheap actor who plays at the gallery. He is, then, in English, a claptrapper, is he not?" On the night of his debut, although the poor fellow declared he was "sick with the scare," he pulled himself together in time and delivered the poem most stirringly. "With a bound he was on the scrap of a stage." records Clara Morris, "and his high, clear 'For-w-a-r-d. the Fight brigade!' must surely have been heard down in Broadway. It really was a clever bit of work, a trifle too florid, but that was the result of nervousness. The instinct of the actor was twice plainly shown?once when on making a mistake, instead of stammering or going back, he swiftly 'jumped' the faulty lines and dashed on securely with the others, and again when at the close he read with much feeling the "Honor the charge they made. Honor the Light brigade, Noble six hundred! standing as if looking into an open grave, he plucked the white flower from his coat and cast it down, a bit of business that caught the bouse instantly. While the people maltreated damp umbrellas and kicked out their gum shoes in giving him a recall he was clutching his hair and wildly protesting to me: 44 4Mme. Clara. I have never meant that for a claptrap! Never! Never! Just it came to me that moment to throw the flower to the dead! Think me a fool?but not?oh, please not?a claptrapper!' "?Youth's Companion.

Two highland drovers on | their way to Perth came across the carcass, dressed, as it had been left, in its performing garb. Never having seen such a strange specimen before, they were greatly puzzled what to make of it. "What'U she pe?" asked Tonal. Wool." replied Tugal. "she'll no pe a highlander or she wid hae a i tartan plaid, and she'll no pe a lowlander either or her trouser wid pe gray." After consideration Tonal exclaimed: "I'll tell ye whit she'll pe.
