PROPcrt USE OP THE LUNGS
Writer Asserts That Few Persoru
Understand How to Breathe.
Mr. Ryder talks entertainingly, and
with apparent certainty. "Three times
every minute," h*? declares, "the blood
makes a complete circuit of the sys-
tem, carrying oxygen to the tissues,
and coming back to the lungs laden
with poison. One-third of all the
poison generated by the body Is e
creted through the lungs. The remain
der Is, normally, carried off by the
bowels, skin and kidneys. Peopli
often talk of needing a change of air
What they need is not so much a
change of air as a change in their man-
ner of using the air they have. Most
people in breathing use only a smal1
portion of the lungs. A recent invest'-
gator makes the startling statement
that in an examination covering sev-
eral thousand cases, he found less
than 1 per cent, that breathed cor
r^ctiy.
BADGES A FINE EXCAVATOR.
As a Digger of Earth the Little
Takes High Rank.
1 A writer on natural history haj thl
fol'owing to say of 'uadgerg; "la a\rd
; winter weather the badger lies much
i In its earth, hibernating for long pert-
i ods, much after the fashion of th>
bear, and sleeping, like that animal,
1 with one paw in its mouth. At this
j season the beast closes up the mouth
of its den and slumbers away Its time
for many days, even weeks together.
In milder weather it ventures forth
again in search of food. In the busi-
ness of digging the badger is one ol
the finest exponents in the world, mak-
ing Its way underground, even amid
the greatest obstacles, with a strength,
celerity and perseverance that are
truly marvelous I have always re-
garded the aardvark, the ant-eater ol
South Africa, as the champion digget
of the animal kingdom, having been
witness of some of his exploits; but
the badger takes a very high piVce In
the ai t of getting updfer ground."

Speaker's Eloquence Was From the
Head, Not the Heart.
An E:\glishman relates the follow-
in,? election experience: "1 was takin?
part in canvassing a constituency
without a representative. I was an-

distance of a famous cathedral. On#

heard. He spoke of the struggle of
Eird and Man Flight.

About Women.
A woman who marries a second tlnrn
itins two risks; she may regret that
(."tie lost her first husband or that sue
did not always have the second one
But, in the first case, her second hus
band may regret her first husband
even more than she does, and tell her
so, too. The woma.i who looks amia-
ble and cheerful is naturally beautiful,
tar more so than a woman with irr*
proachable sculptural outlines and fea-
tures so regular that she makes you
wish she had some redeeming defect
or otuer. Perfection was attractive in
anulent Greece; it is not now.—Phila

Tommy's Essay on Preachers.
The following essay by a youthful
hoarding school boy throws quite a
new and interesting light on church
dignitaries: "There are three kinds ol
clergymen blshups rectors and curate,
the blshups tel the rectors to work and
the curats have to do It. Curat Is a
thin married man but when he is a
rector he gets fuller and can preech
longer sermons and becums a good
man, we should allways rispect a curat
because sum day he may becum
rector and we must always pity those
who are low down In the world, any
it us may becum mlsfortunate so we
must not hit a man with a stone."—
