HUMOR OF THE HOUR
Fowl Play.
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

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.

WORK OF THE LUNGS,
THE NECESSITY FOR PURE AIR AND
PROPER BREATHING.
lleHiilratorj <y ui nnxtlcs Tend to
Strengthen tlie HcaUtlnK Force of
Nature to UlNeaae—The Leuou of
the Black Hole of Calcutta.
To my mind the part of the physical
man upon which depends all tlie .pos
sibilities of mental resource is that
part which has relation to respiration
and which for its perfect work de
pends upon the quality of the air we
breatlle, the quantity respired and the
method thereof. The apparatus for
respiration consists of the lungs, which
are double, tho one on the right side
having three lobes, the other on the
left only two. We must always hear
in mind that nature is generous in her
provisions, and she has given us so
much of lung tissue that a large part
can he quickly exhausted and become
Inactive, yet life endure for its legiti
mate threescore years and ten and Its
duties and activities continue unhin
dered by any conscious lack. Under
the microscope the lung tissue shows
an infinite number of tiny cells or ulti
mate lobules. Some have estimated
these at five or six hundred million,
and, wonderful to relate, only with the
first breath Hint the infant draws are
botli lungs ever filled with absolutely
new air. All through life there is nec
essarily what we call a residual air,
\thich may he of a greater or less
amount, uccordlng to the breathing
habit of the individual. It is said that
the extent of surface through which
the air breathed passes Is approximate
ly about 1,300 square feet, and the ex
cretion from the lungs daily is over
two pounds of poisonous matter. In
fact. It is certain that at least one
third of the waste ami poisonous mut
ter caused by the activities of tlie
organism, its growth, repair, decay, is
excreted through the lungs.
Unfortunately, a great majority of
mankind breathe very superficially,
using only part of this large area of
lung tissue. Even if persons are out
of doors, unless by wise activity, the
deep cells of the lungs are not aerated
for the simple reason that very few
men or women know how to free the
lungs properly. Dettweller states that
"deep l>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.—

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.

A WOMAN COMMISSIONER.
Mrs. Wentherred's Connection With
Severn! 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.
