Women's Breathing.
As a matter of fact, not one
woman in a hundred breathes
uormally, says the Home' Advo
cate. The respiration of D the
average woman varies with every
change of mental state or physi
cal condition; grief, depression,
fatigue, all have their influence in
lowering the amount of oxygen
that goes into the system, and it
is a rare thing for woman to use
her lungs unless she has had the
special and definite instruction
incident to the vocal training of
singer or elocutionist.
Alittle knowledge of physiology
and a few hints on the subject,
however, will enable any woman
to comprehend the precise art
of filling and emptying the lungs
on scientific principles. The
main thing is to bo sure that the
lower lobes of the lungs are well
filled with air, and that one
breathes from the abdomen.
After one has acquired this habit
the chief thing is to breathe in as
much sunshine as possible and to
believe in the efficacy of oxygen
as a remedy for nearly all the ills
that flesh is heir to.
The following are some excell
ent rules for improving the res
piration and bringing it up to a
normal condition: Stand at an
open wiudow or recline on a
couch with the waist and chest
unconfined; hold the chest walls
high and inhale slow, long
breaths; exhale as slowly, three
times only at first. Gradually
the number of times may be in
creased and the time lengthened
for the breathing exercises. Fif
teen minutes, twice a day at
l3ast, should bo devoted to this
exercise to accomplish the desir
ed results.
To inhale long, deep breaths
while slowly raising the arms
above the head, and to exhale as
slowly while lowering them, is
one of the best breathing exer
cises ever invented. The prac
tice of breathing very deeply
while walking in the open air is
recommended not only for the
general health, but is one of the
best cures for obesity, as the in
creased amount of oxygen great
ly augments the consumption of

McKinloy's I'jirmcr There.
A Washington cor respondent
of the I'll ilndolphialJcroril writes:
"'Jack' Adams, tin man who
runs the President's farm out ju
Ohio, has been a guest at the
White House since last Saturday.
Of all the visitors at tho Execu
tive Mansion during the past few
days no one has been received
with greater courtesy and hospi
tality than tlio President's farm
er. Mr. Adams came on to at
tend the inauguration and went
up to the White House immedi
ately upon his arrival.
"The President gave him a
warm welcome and insisted that
ho should bo his guest at the
Executive Mansion during his
stay in tho city. The President
gave him tickets which admitted
him to the exercises at the Capi
tol and to all of the festivities of
inauguration day.
"Happiest of the hundreds of
the still lingering inauguration
visitors who shook hands with
the Presidsnt was a typical old
time darkey from Jackson, Miss.
He bore the name of Washington
Baltimore. The President was
very cordial to the old man and
when he came out he was so hap
py over his reception that he had
to stop and tell a group of White
House visitors about it.
"lie declared with childish en
thusiasm that he wouldn't wash
his right baud until he got back
to Mississippi so that he could
show 'do in niggers what hau' do
President slink.'
"This was the second inaugu
uration the old man hadattonded.
He came here four years ago and
said the the white folks in Wash
ington treated him so well that
he saved up to come again this
year, lie did not get a chance to
shake hands with the President
in 1S)7, but this time lie remained
until he could do so, and
now goes home probably feeling
more delighted over his experi
ence at the inauguration than any
other one of tho thousands who
came to attend the ceremonies."
Strikes A Rich Find.
"I was troubled for several
years with chronic indigestion
and nervous debility," writes F.
J. Green, of Lancaster, N. II.,
"No remedy helped me until I
began using Electric Hitters,
which did me more good than all
the medicines I ever used. Thej
have also kept my wife in excel
lent health for years. She sii3's
Electric Hitters are just splendid
for female troubles that they are
a grand tonic and invigorator for
weak, run down women. No oth
er medicine can take its place in
our family." Try them. Only DUc.

A Walkina Fern.
There is a fern which, by its
peculiar habit of growth, may
almost just lay claim to the popu
lar name of the "walking fern."
The fronds arch over, and tho
fine, slender points coming in
contact with the soil take root.
New growth again proceeds from
the latter, which, init.sturu, roots
also, so that tho locale of the
plant is continually moving for
ward and suggesting the idea of
walking.
This peculiar feruisquitehardy
and succeeds well to a soil of
heat, leaf mold and sand, in a
shady position which is moist in
summer and fairly dry iu winter.
The fronds are heart shaped,
bright green in color, (! to 12
inches long. Loudon ( I lobe.

Outlived Her Usefulness.
The following touching ar;icl
f i inn the pen of the lale Mrs. .1.
1). Chaplin, has often been prim
ed elsewhere, both iu this country
and iu England. It v:is dipped
from a newspaper by a member
of Mr. Amos Savillo's family
about seventeen years ii.Mo; and
last week, Mr. Navilio lunded i;
to us, requesting that we gis'- it
to tin readers of the Nr.ws. Its
needful lessons appeal to 1 1 1 -
young willi peculiar force, and
we, therefore, give it a place in
our columns. Knirou.
Not long since a man in middle
life came to our door, asking for
"the minister." When informed
that he was out of town he seem
ed disappointed and anxious. On
being questioned as to his busi
ness he replied, "I have lost my
mother; and as this place used to
bo her home, and as my father
lies here, we have como to lay her
beside him. "
My heart rose iu sympathy, and
I said, "You have met with a
great loss. "
"Well, yes," he replied, with
hesitancy, "a mother is a great
loss iu general, but our mother
had outlived her usefulness. She
was iu her second childhood, and
her mind had grown as weak as
her body, so that she was no com
fort to herself aud was a burden
to everybody. There were seven
of us, sons and daughters;and we
agreed to keep her among us a
year about. Hut I have had more
than my share of her, for she was
too feeble to be moved when my
time was out aud that was more
than three months before her
death, liut then she was a good
mother in her day, aud toiled very
hard to bring us up."
Without looking at the face of
the heartless man I directed him
to the house of a neighboring pas
lor, and returned to my nursery.
I gazed on the merry little faces
which smiled or grew sad in imi
tation of mine those little ones
to whose ear no word in our lan
guage is half so sweet as "moth
er" and I wondered if that day
could ever come when they would
say of us, "She has outlived her
usefulness; she is no comfort to
herself, and a burden to every
body else!" Aud I hoped that
b"l'ore such a day should dawn I
might be taken to 1113' rest. God
forbid that I should outlive the
love of my children! Kather let
me die while my heart is a part
of theirs, that my grave may be
watered by their tears, and my
love linked with their hopes of
heaven.
When the bell tolled for the
mother's burial, I went to the
sanctuary to pay my only token
of respect to tho aged stranger;
for I felt that I could give her
memory a tear, even though her
own children had none to shed.
"She was a good mother in her
day, and toiled hard to bring us
all up she was uo comfort to
herself, and a burden to every
body else. " These cruel, heart
less words rung in my ears as I
saw the cofiin borne up the aisle.
The bell tolled long and loud, until
its iron tongue had chronicled tho
years of the toil-worn mother.
One, two, three, four, live.
How clearly aiid almost 'merrily
each stroke told of her ouce
peaceful slumber in her mother's
bosom, aud her seat at nightfall
on her weary father's knee.
Six, --seven, eight, nine, ten,
rang out the tale of lier sports
upon tho green sward, in the
meadow, and beside the bi'ook.
Eleven, twelve, thirteen, -four-tern,
spoko gravely of school
days aud little household joys and
cares. Sixteen, seventeen,
eighteen, sounded out the en
raptured visions of maidenhood
and tho dream of early love.
Nineteen brought before us the
happy bride. Twenty spoko of
the young mother, whose heart
was full to the bursting with the
new strong love which God had
awakened in her bosom. And
then, stroke after stroke, told of
her early womanhood, of the loves,
and cares, and hopes, aud fears,
and toils through which she pass
ed during these long years, till
fifty rang out harsh aud loud.
From that to sixty each stroke
told of the warm hearted mother
and grandmother, living over
again her own joys and sorrows
in those of her children and chil
dren's children.
Every family of till the group
wanted grandmother, then, aud
the only strifo was who should
secure the prize. Hut hark, tho
bell tolls on! Seventy seventy
one two throt four. Shu bo-
gins to grow feeble requires
some ca re, is nolalways perfect
ly patient or satisfied; she goes
from one child's homo to another,
so that no place seoms like home.
Slu' in ;i ''uiiirs, in plaintive tones,

ness, it is hard she cannot be al
lowed a home to die in; that sho

Ah: sh . is a second child now;
"she has outlived her usefulness,
she has now ceased to bo a com
fort to herself or anybody" that
is, she has ceased to be profitable
to her earth-craving aud money
grasping children.
Now sounds out, reverberating
through our lovely forest, and
echoing back from our "hill of the
dead," eighty-nine! There she
now lies iu her cofiin, cold and
still; she makes no trouble "now,
demands no love, no soft words,
uo teuder little off ces. A look
of patient endurauce we fancied
also, an expression of grief for
unrequited love sat ou her mar
ble features. Her children were
there, clad iu weeds of woo,
and iu irony we remember the
strong man's words, "She was
a good mother in her day."
When tho bell ceased tolling,
tho strange minister rose iu the
pulpit. His form was very erect,
and his voice strong, but his hair
was silvery white. Ho read sev
eral passages of Scripture ex
pressive of God's oonipassion for
feeble man, and especially of his
teuderness whim gray hairs are
on him and his strength faileth.
He then made some touching re
marks on human frailty, aud of
dependence on God, urging all
present to make their peace with
their Master while in health,
that they might claim his prom
ise when heart and flesh failed.
"Then," he said, "the eternal
God shall be thy refuge, and be
neath thee shall bo the everlast
iug arms." Loauing over the
desk-, and gazing intently on tho
coi'liued form before him, ho then
said reverently: "From a little
child I have honored the aged;
bat never, till gray hairs covered
my own head, did I know, truly,
how much love and sympathy
this class have a right to deinaud
of their fellow-creatures. Now
1 feel it. "Our mother, " he add
ed, most tenderly, "who now lies
in death before us, was a strang
er to me, as are all of these, her
desceuihiuts. All I know of her
is what her son has told me to
day that she was brought to this
town afar, sixty-nine years ago a
happy bride that hero she pass
ed most of her life toiling as only
mothers ever have strength to
toil, until she had reared a large
family of sous aud daughters
that she left her home here, clad
iu weeds of widowhood to dwell
among her children till health
aud strength left her. God for
bid that conscience should ac
cuse any of you of ingratitude or
murmuring ou account of the
care sho has been to you of late.
When you go back to your homes
bo careful of your example before
your own children ;for tho fruitof
your own doing you will surely
reap from them when you your
selves totter on tho brink of the
grave. I entreat you as a friend,
as one who has himself entered
tho evening of life, that you
may never say in the presence, of
your families nor of heaven, "Our
mother had out lived her useful
ness sho was a burdeu to us."
Never, never! a mother can nev
er live so long as that! No; when
sho can no longer labor for her
children, nor yet care for herself
sho can fall liko a precious. weight
on their bosoms, and call forth
by her helplessness all tho noble,
generous feelings of their hearts."
Adieu, then, poor toil-worn
mother; there are uo more days
of pain for thee. Undying vigor
and everlasting usefulness are
thy inheritance.

Sunflowers.
A new and coming crop suited
to corn land is the sunflower. It
has recently been demonstrated
that tho very finest of salad oil
can be extracted from tho seeds,
equal in quality to the best olive
oil. This discovery will give a
value to this plant before un
kuowu. The Russian farmers
grow immense- quantities of the
sunflower, using the oil on their
many fast days, winch prohibit
the use of animal fats. The value
of tho sunflower seed has long
boon known for use in the poul
try yard. Largo crops can be
grown with little trouble as corn.
It is claimed that the woody
stalks have no little value as a
f jelalso. As farm land becomes of
morevalueattention will be drawn
more aud more to new and desii
able crops.
The claim-is made for South
Dakota that it has for the third
