PROPER BREATHING. INHALE THROUGH THE NOSTRILS, AND'NOT THE MOUTH. Normal lreathing Will llelp Mate rially to Induce Perfect Develop nkent - Without Normal Breathing Such Development Im Ipompoible. That nature intended man for all ellinates is unquestloned, but if man live other thma nature Intended he should he must be content with dire consequmnces so far as health is con cerned. And why is it that certain in dividuals enjoy better health in cer tain climates than in others? To my mind, the reason in a major ity of cases is that they are mouth breathers and bear better the mild than the severe climate. Who are aillicted with chronic nos! throat and chest affections? Thu mouth breather always, and we will nev er stamp out such conditions as pul ionary tuberculosis, together with numerous other affections of the re 9piratory tract, Iutil we. the humaln family, have learned to take every in spiration through the nose. I have taken the liberty to divide mouth breathers into two classes, con firmed and muodierate. Tihte first breathes almost continually with open m11outh. The sevond is not conscious that be breathes other thanll through the nor malei channels and will not admit that he dos otherwi'seo un11til youl collvile him such is tho case.

Douching and sprajying are contrary to nature and should never be prac ticed. When the patient is a mouth breath er through habit, and this may be de termined by having him breathe first through one nostril and then through the other, it Is my custom to order him to breathe forlbly through his nostrils lit the i rate of one respiratlin per seo ond for ten fjecondt, this to conistitut(! one exercise, to be repeated often, per haps eight or tel tflines during the (day.

How the Great Compoier came to Live la Baireuth. How Wagner came to make Bat reuth his home is a rather interesting story. Ile had long dreamed of pos sessing a fieater where his composi fions could be interpreted to suit his ideas. but had little hol)b that the dreau would ever be fulfilled. When. however, in his period of greatest de pression and loneliness he "orimed the friendship of the late king of Bavaria It seeied -iuddeily as if all things w'ere p)osslble to him. In 1867 hIs royal protector instructed the celebrated architect. Gottfried Senper, to prepa re the plans for the theater, which was to be built at Munich. Through po litical and)(] professional dissensions and jealotsies tihle town couneil of Munielh refused perinission for the erection of the IIeaer tliere. li 1871 Wagner visited 11.111-etit rI and, after taking couisel 'with the celebrated banker1,, Messrs. Fenstel and Gross, decided upon a site in that city. The imniiei Pality of' the town, correctly e.timating the iinncial advantages lvbich wouhd accrue, presented Wagner withIi two plots of land, one for tile tleater ain the other for his own house. The 1. ter was itIiimediately built, and In 1872 Wagier removed his family from Tru'ibehln, nwar I'tucerine, to the new holl e. W.i11afried. 'Ile cor'iner sac of the theitr was I.-I( on his sixtie.h birtliday. :.1ay 22. 1872. It was esti lilated that the theater would cost 300,000 thalers (ahout $250,000), ani this siin was very largely raised I:: Wagner soclettes throughouI tlie worbl. It was completed In 1876 and dedieati wIth the presentation of "J)per Iing des Nibeluingei" on Aig. 13 of tlf.,t. yenr. Since then it has been the Mecca of the lovers of Wagnerian music fro,m all parts of the world. TEETH AND SIGHT. Decayed Molarn Caune Ditturbance of the Ocular Nervem.

There Are No Doors or Pasanges In a Typical Dwelling. The Japanese house consists in the main of a post at each corner and a roof. The roof may or inny not be cov ered with heavy channeled purplish tiles. It innkes little ditTerence in the long run whether It is or is not, for if it is not tiled the first typhoon that comes along removes It into somt body's garden anything up to 2a (uarter of a mile away, and if it is tiled heav Sly enough to resist the typhoon so u .ch the worse for the people under neath It when the first genuine earth quake arrives. lut the odds are that it will be burned down before either hap Pens, as the Japanese use very cheap lpiins ad very fiery petroleum and are regular children about fires. Of course soinething else is done to the four posts and the roof before they be come a house In which births, mar riages and deaths can take place. But really reiarkably little Is necessary. Crossbeanis are naturally added to support the weight of the roof, grooves are inade in the k!rossheamis and in the platforui ralsedt a foot or two above the grouni which constitutes the floor. A .htlpaiese ltouse is aill on one floor generally-In fact, one might say it is all one floor.
