Many amusing stories are told of our j colored fellow citizens of the south by i the raconteurs of that section. A'venerable darky was haled before j a justice of the peace and charged with j gratifying his appetite for feathered j denizens of a barnyard in which he i had no ownership. There were no wit- j nesses to the act, but the birds were missing, ami feathers had been found j around Uncle George's cabin. He was shurply interrogated by the magistrate in the hope that he would get entan gled in the questioning and the truth come out Finally he was asked: "So you say, Uncle George, that you have not stolen any chickens?" "Yes, sah. I done stole no chickens." "Have you stolen any geese?" "No, sah." f ; "No turkeys?" f ,-. "No, sah." After a brief pause the suspected culprit was discharged with a sharp admonition. As he passed out he stop ped before the Justice, hat in hand, his ivories disclosed by a broad grin, and said; "Fo' de Lawd, sqnire, if you'd said 'ducks,' you'd 'a' had me!"—Lipplu cott's. Tlie Hlttheot Court. The Denver Times says that when Tom Bagncll was justice of ' the peace at Altaian, the highest incorpo rated town in the country, standing 12,000 feet above the sea level, he had occasion to fine a disorderly character $lO and costs. The victim of the operation of justice Objected to the finding of the court and announced that be would take an appeal. "What? Appttal, would you?" asked the astonished court. "You can't come any o' that, now. This is the highest court in the United States, and you can't appeal." Klie \V(IN an Obierver. "Did George write to you every day while he was traveliug around?" "Yes, every day." "What regularity!" "Yes," but I discovered that every one ' of the letters was written here in his office before he started, and all he had to do wbs to drop one in the postofflco wherever he chanced to be." "And how did you find that out?" "Tho 'e' in his office typewriter is broken."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Pan-American Exposition.

WORK OF THE LUNGS, THE NECESSITY FOR PURE AIR AND PROPER BREATHING. lleHiilratorj reathlng not only ventilates the lungs and aids the circulation, but in many cases is able to strengthen the muscles of the thorax, especially those about the upper part of the chest." And I believe that we have a right to expwt from respiratory gymnastics a real strengthening of tho resisting force of nature to disease. Even if the lungs have begun to break down, honest ef fort .in this direction will supplement medication. One of the methods of correct breath ing is to put the hands lightly on the hips, fingers backward; throw the shoulders well back, hold the chest up, chin in, and then inhale slowly through tho nose as long as possible. When the lungs are filled, retain the nlr until some discomfort is experienced, then, forming the lips in the shape of a letter O, exhale as slowly and evenly as Is consistent with comfort, making a slight blowing sound. Such an exer cise for five minutes, clad only in one garment or, better, with no garment at all, night and morning, in a well venti lated room, will do very much In man, woman or child to develop the lung ca pacity, improve the carriage of the body and enrich the quality of the blooil, which depends upon the activity of the lungs for Its purification. It is ho wonder that BO much care has been given by nature to the appa ratus for the respiratory function, for we know perfectly well that inan lias lived as much as sixty days without food, he has been forced to exist for some time without water; but, alas, without air death must come in a brief space qf time! : For instance, in 175 d, 140 persons were coulined over night in a smull space not larger than 5,900 cubic feet, wfth only two little windows on one side. Within ail hour nil broke out in a profuse sweat. They were tortured with thirst and difficult breathing, and in three and a half hours the majority were delirious. Then when the morn ing came forty-throe only lived to tell the tale. Another extreme case was at the battle of Austerlitz. Three hun dred captured soldiers were confined in a small cellar, and within a few hours all but forty were dead. The reason is self evident. The air was in sufficient for the demands of each In dividual, the poisonous exhalations from the body were thrown off through the lungs, and a most agonizing death ensued. It behooves us, then, most carefully to consider in arranging for the ventilation of homos, hotels, hos pitals and jails not only that a proper quantity of pure air shall be allowed free circulation, but also to be watch ful lest tliis pure air shall be vitiated by retained Impurities. A great many investigations have been made to ascertain the relation of air to disease, and perhaps the simple statement of the fact that ainong all Industrial classes those are healthier and have the' lowest death rate who are gardeners, farmers, agricultural laborers and ilshermen—in other words, those whose occupations are carried on in the open air—will be a truth all can understand. What a lesson, then, to all who may have families of children to rear! How I Important that every effort should be ! made to secure the largest amount of air space about the dwelling, plenty of i loom for the children to play out of 1 doors, and by all means avoid having little ones sleep in an apartment which ; the wiuds of heaven do uot visit.— Julia Holme* Smith, D. D., In Pilgrim. jpIS'SHX LAXAKOLA NO ONE BUT A MOTHER I wleep glTva to an ailing, teething, feverish, colicky, freify infant. Almost distracted bjr lis constant crying, and worn out with weary, anxious care and watching, she tries every thing possible With what comfort and delight she sees her little one drop off into a deep peaceful health-giving slumber, after its little clogged bowels are cleared of their poisonous burden by a siugle dose of Laxakola, the great tonic laxative and mother's remedy. Laxakola ia n pure, gentle and painless liquid laxative, and contains valuable tonic properties which not only act ujon the bowels, but tone up the entire system and purify the blood. A few drojw can be given with safety to very young bubies, which will often relieve colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it. Great relief % ex perienced. when administered to young children sulTering from diarrhcea, accompanied with white or green evacuations, as it neutralises the aridity of the bowels and carries out the cause of the fermentation. LAXAKOLA will aid digestion, relieve restlessness, assist nature, and induce sleep. For constipation, simple fevers, coated tongue, or any iufantile troubles arising from a disordered condition of the stomach it is invaluable. Laxakola. the tfreat tonic laxative.

Expositions. Mrs. E. T. Weatherred of Oregon, who Is one of the two women commis sioners on the genetial hoard of the Pan-American exposition, is already deeply interested in the preparations for the Lewis and Clark Centennial exposition, which is to be held in Port land, Or., in 1905 to celebrate the first government exploration of the Pacific coast by order of President Jefferson. She has also represented her own state in various commercial enterprises and has assisted in awakening a lively in terest in the products of Oregon In the east. She has now been appointed commissioner from Oregon to the MRS. EDYTH T. WEATFTERRED. South Carolina Interstate and West Indian exposition, which will he held at Charleston, S. C., from Dec. 1 to June 1, 1902. In referring to the pres ent day Interest taken by women in great expositions Mrs. Weatherred says: "Woman's work in connection with an exposition is becoming more and more Important. While the women of today are Pot losing their feminine characteristics, they are becoming broader in their aims and in helping to solve the great problems of the hour. The historical features emphasized by a woman's hoard are highly signifi cant. Take, for instance, the Charles ton exposition. The woman's building is a plantation home nearly 200 years old, where valuable relics will interest thousands of visitors. A woman's board also looks after all conventions of women held during the season. In the general work of an exposition it is •naturally a woman's part as a citizen to do all that is in her power to fur ther the interests of her state or coun try." To I.rnrn n Lady's A Re, II Mondo Che Hide, an Italian jour nal, recently offered prizes for the best three answers to the following ques tions: "How can one, without giving any offense, induce a lady to tell her age?" Answers poured in by hundreds, and finally the prizes were awarded. "Go to the lady," says the winner of the first prize, "and say to her, 'Madam, I dreamt last night that you and I could win a large prize at the lottery by playing a number corre sponding to our ages, and therefore if you will just tell me your age 1 will go at once and buy the ticket.' " The assumption is that a desire to win the money will impel the lady to comply | at once with the request. "Ask the bul.v." savs the winner of OASTOHIA. Bears the 11,8 Kind V™ Have Always Bought the second' prize, "how loiik she has been married and after she has replied express great astonishment and ex claim: 'Mou IMcu! You must have been a mere cldld at that time. How old wore you then, at any rate?' " From her two answers the lady's age can be ascertained without arousing any sus picion on her part. "Ask the lady," says the winner of the third prize, "how many years younger she ts than lior husband. This Is an everyday question, and the chan ces nre a thousand to one that she will answer It promptly and correctly. Then find out the husband's age, which can very easily be done, and by work ing out a little sum in arithmetic you can easily solve the problem." Women an Confectloners. A London confectioner's establish ment which is run entirely by women has become so great a success that its kitchen lias of necessity been partial ly converted into a school where wo men anxious to learn are taught the confectioner's art. At the neat marble slabs women of apparently good edu cation are busy with dainty concoc tions. Some of these pupils are ambi tious to become managers of similar establishments of their own, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. The concern in question is carried on In connection with a restaurant and tearoom, and since tearooms are often managed by women pupils from such establish ments are coming in increasing num bers to this confectionery school. One course, in which only two pupils can be taken at a time, includes the mak ing of cakes, sweets, lees, bookkeep ing and shop management. All the latest Inventions of the confectioner's art are mastered by these women as readily as they appear, for they And it necessary in this as in every field of work to keep abreast of the times. Hncen Victoria's Conriige. The following Incident, taken from Lady Blomfield's "Court and Diplomat* ic Life." Illustrated the courage of the late queen: Lady Blomfleld was, as Hon. Miss Liddell. maid of honor to the queen when Francis shot at her and missed. Lady ltlomfield, writing to her mother, said she had beep sur prised and somewhat annoyed that she had not been required for the after noon drive as usual, and she had lost the afternoon waiting in expectation. Later in the day the queen hud said to her: "I dare say, George, you wore surprised at not going with me this afternoon, hut the fact is I was shot at yesterday. The would he assaosin escaped, and it was thought probable the attempt might ho renewed today, so I decided not to have either of my ladies with me. Only one lady being in tlie carriage, the man would only have one to aim at. I would not risk any one else to the possibility." Turks anil Col Too. Coffee reached Constantinople about 1354 and was of universal use in Mo hammedan countries befort the clpso of the sixteenth century. So essential was it deemed to domestic happiness that a Turkish law recognized a man's refusal to fupply his wife with coffee as sufficient ground for her claiming a divorce. "Worse Still.
