MODERN TROGLODYTES. The Troglodytes, or Cave-dwellers, were tribes who Inhabited ancient Nu-

Coin toon atmospheric air—pure air—h» necessary to life and health 'as food more necessary in fact. The stomach •say be withQUt food for twenty-four hoars without serious detriment, .and for three days without endangering life, white the food for the lungs cannot be totally stopped for six minutes without fatal consequences. We take into our lungs with every breath about one, pint •f air, and breath about twenty times per minntes, so that the quantity of gas •ous food thus consume* by the body •mounts in a day to 675 cubic feet. Eating and drinking are" therefore secondary or supplementary to the more 1m

part performed by the lungs, on the suriace of the

earth for fifty miles high, the air, mixed in the proper proportions for healthy respiration, is supplied to sua tain and build up animal life. Yet, we •ontrive houses to exclude it as effect sally as the Nubian caves, and inclose •urselves therein, and thus enfeeble the race. Thousands and ten of thousands actually die annually from a famine of air.

Our living rooms, bed rooms, work •hops, school rooms, public halls, and ehurobes are largely so contrived that we take into the lungs over and over

human race, is not a 'mysterious dispensation of Providence,' nor a 'product of

,n «»r outrageous climate,' but tbe direct consequence of an outrageous violation

et the physical laws of nature. Dr. nailer thought that, if God puntabes suicide, He would make an except ifvj tion ia favor of consumptives. But can it be hoped that this exemption will continue after men are made fully con\t cat toious that this direful disease can be tu »ti% »voided by simply breathing constantly

Criminals closely confined in cells soon have diseased lungs and die early. infants and older children die, or ue•i eome diseased for life, by the vitiated air they are compelled to breathe in apartments with defective ventilation.

Men, women, and children can only

i' live in health in fresh air. It may "be •. ii-i more agreeable and better to have the •. ,i, .,^*ir equable in temperature $md hot overloaded with moisture, but it is far. better to have dampness, cold, and uuchanga-

Menem, than to bredthe the gases left

after the oxygen has been extracted from the air by passing through the lungs, or the air has been disintegrated other processes. Let us repeat then. •,.• what has been so ofteu said by medical {(men: Ventilate! ventilate vour work rooms, your houses—particularly your sleepingi-ooms. Remember that each person needs over 800 cubic feet of fresh •ir every night. Ventilate your school rooms, public halls, and churches. To ask one to breathe the exhalations from the lungs of a crowded assembly is worse than asking him to dr'.nk the water In which the cougregation had bathed.

LAW A HUNDRED YEARS AGO. The Albany Law Journal finds in Hall's history of Eastern Vermont some •ooount of the laws which were in force hnndred years ago: "Burglary was punished by branding with a on (be forehead, and nailing «ue of the offender's ears to a post and cutting it off, and whipping for the second offence there was the like branding, and nailing, and cutting off of the •tner ear ibr the third offence the panfahment was death, tbe offender being deemed 'incorrigible.' Counterfeiting was punished by cutting off the right ear, branding with C, and perpetual un-

Srlaonment

•an

Peijury was punished by a

ne of £50 and imprisonment for six months, but if the offender oould net tbe fine he was let off by sitting in

pillory two bourn, and having both iin nailed and cut off. Willful lying, or with

to public prejudice or private injury, deceiving or abusing tbe people wi false uews or reports, was punished by fine, sitting in the stocks and whipping, the punishment being increased with each repetition of the offence, except that in no case was the number of stripes to exceed tbe number of thirty-nine.

Theft was punished by compelling three* fold rontitutioh, by fine and by a sort of temporary slavery, the prosecutor being empowered to dispose of any offender In service to any subject of tbe State for such time as he should be assigned to the ptosecutor by tM court. Uureason-

TPR HORSE AND HIS RIDER.

rtYod

i^k'me ir oan take any horse

and teach him his part of the ring busi ness. Certainly, for horses are exceed ingly intelligent, more so than many men, as any old cavalry or artillery pfficer will tell you. Of course, some noisos are taugbl H»oi:eTeasily than pthers, and the puree a hor&e blood is, as a general rule, tbe eteler be is to teacb. But a horse that shies is worthless to us. When we make a flip flop we must find tbe horse unflef us, and must know whereDur feet ate going to be when we come downi I was seriously hurt once. Just as I wa9 in mid air, while throwing a somersault, a cannon was fired near the building. The horse was taken by surprise, shied off involuntarily, and when I ought to have come right side up with 6»re, tbSre was b6 horse there. I fell flat on my back on the tan, and hurt myself a good deal. Yes, the horse is very intelligent, and,If be cap only un derstand whi" you want him to do, he will generally try tb do it to the best of his ability.!®"-' 2 "About sUppiqg? Yes, one has to look out fortbis. You know, of course, that we rosin our Slippers thoroughly, you kbow'that-the horse's back is liberally roekted, too?

but did you know

C. I

"ft there mOch! difforence' betwcei pad riding and bareback riding, tbat is as to its difficulty?" "Any bareback rider can ride with the pad, but not every pad rlddr can de bareback. I began barflbaok ridintr early, but I had the advantage of thy father's advice and of watching him ride Pretty soon after I begau barebauk riii: ing. and While I was yet a mere boy. I began two horse acta, and finally waa able to ride the four horses with as little effort as one. Of course I have been all through the various branches of turn blingas part of my riding education, for if I couldn't Humble and turn somersaults well on the ground I could do it on the boree. As to the ordinary jumjinc through the banners and all that soft of work, that's the plain sailing of the rider. Jumolng through the banners while in the act of evolving or ro volving a scfmersattlt, doesn't add to the difficulty ?f the task, though people think sq. One of the difficult things about itfla that you must regulate the velodlfcy of your somersault by tbe speed of your horse, and that is why an even steady going borse ls a treasure to any rider.

If that wasn't

done tbe horse's perspiration would very soon make^he bit of rosin on the slippers useless, aua even as it is, when tbe night is warm and the horse per spires tteetf, digging the toes iw for a grip will bunch up the hair into little balls, making the bold uneven, or tbe hair coming out, will make the horse's back so slippery'that it becomes very difficult to bold on. Down South the darkeys think there Is loadstone put on a horse's back. "As to riding moretban four horses at a time, unless one was very tall and had a drof India rubber legs, I think it would be impossible, as it is now lor very short legged man to ride four. There is a limit to the compass properties of tbe human leg.

The horse has to learn his part as well as the rider, to become as much a part ol the rider when be is on hisf back as the ancients' fabled Centaur. He must learn to keep his gait even and steady, and to obey even tbe pressure of the foot in certain waya. The rider mustn't put his foot down on any and every part of tbe animal's back, or be will destroy tbe mutual equilibrium. If a horse feels your foet two or three Inches out of the way, and in a different place from whore be expects it when you light on him it is apt to discompose him. As to what kind of treatment I give my horses, I san only say tbat I have a horse that knows my voioe before he sees me, and whinnies with delight. I have always an appl» or bltof carrot or a lump of sugar about me when I go near where is is, and we are on tbe best of terms. Don't I sometimes have to conquer a horse if he gets stubborn or sulky fit on? Certainly, and if I don't do It It will render the horse worthless The cruelty is only apparent, however. A little temporary severity Is real kindness to tbe horse. Some of the trick horse* are very dangerous and vicious, especially the piebald ones. This mostly comes of teasing them during their training to aaake them bright and lively, but it is not really necessary and some trick horsas are as gentle ss lataba. A horse gets to know his business and to like Tt, the same ss writer does. An sxpert in Ids profession, be it acting, variety, or ataxia performing, seldom %ultsiCf'

AST IMPORTANT 0 &IB8TI0& How often may a gentlemen call upon a lady? asks an snxiotM young man. Every evening? Well, not to go evenr night woold be to crowd things. It is always a mistake to make yourself too common—to wear your welcome out, in feet. Suppose yon pat In an appearance onoeor twice a week, if she Is agreeable. Thenifvoo find that abe rsdprocates your af&ctlon, you may make the calls more frequent, Engaged people are apt to be together every evening and we csa assure yon tbat if abe loves jon she wUlbe just ss anxious to have you oome, as yon are now to grv. If tbe acquaintance shall eventuate so happily, learts to leave, when yon call, at a decent hour. Some lovers twist on staying until midnight* or later, and make themselves nntsaooe about a bouse. Ten o'clock hi late enough for any lover to stay, and the pair, if they only make up tbeir minds to H, will find it as essy fo part then as wben they bav* tired out tbe patience of the whole family. B«a«ies,late hoar enervate both mind and body.

Nothing ever goes wrong with them—no trouble is. too serious for them 'to make the best of it.'

Whv, then, joyous-tempered people don*t know half the good they do.

A LO FUR'S UNTIMELY JEST.

Suicide of a Young Girl Under the Iqfluenee of Met&eme Etucitement.

[From the Bedalla Democrat.]

to be married to a young

fermsr In the neighborhood, and prspa rations were being made for tbe nuptials. On Wednesday night last she wont to a rsvival meeting atPleassnt Green Church, six miles from tbe Knobs and while there mads a profession of tsligion. On tbe way home her lover made sport of her folly, ss he termed it. •ud told her that rtiipon of tbat kind nothing bat excitement. Tbisdistresssd Miss Howard greatly, and in parting from tbe young man she told him he woold be sorry for what be bad said. Nothing, however, appssred strange In ber conduct but sbe wrote the next morning to the young man that **if he wanted to see her alive be woold bsve to do It before 8 o'clock tbe next morning.** By so jm missd venture tbe letter failed to rsneh its destination and promptly at 8 o'clock Ella Howard took

large

does of arsenic.

It wss several bonis before the family became aware of what bad transpired, and tbso physicians were hastily summoned from Knob Nostsr. But It wss too late. Tbe poison hsd done its fatal work, and sbe expired at 12 o'clock that night in graat agony. Tbe physicians are under tbe impression tbat tbe rsligious sxcitement under which she wm laboring, acting upon a constitution naturally delicate, and rendered more so by sickness, produced kind of hysterical mania, under tbe influence of which the fatal drag wss taken. Tbeyoang man who la in some degree the nnnspj asuse ofthe self murder is frantic

THAT BRAIN FEVER. A young wife In Michigan had just got settled In ner new borne. All seemed fair and promising,for she did not know tbat her husband was a drunkard. But late

One night'he came home at a very late fhour, and much the worse tor liquor. IWbin be staggered into 4he house, the jwife,' who Wits grestly shocked, told him he was sick ana to He down at once and iH^kjSMunent or two be was comfortably istitaerln a sofa in drunkeu sleep. His face was reddish purple, his breathing was beavr, and altogether be was a piti•bls Ipojdngobject.

Th«doctor wss seift for ^t^Usne.fwd mustard applied to his feet and bands. W-benibe doctoc c&me and ielLhis pulse and examined him, and found that he was only drunk, hesatd: 4He will.be all right in the moi

But the wife insisted,that he slew, ai)d

tbat severe remedies

used. 'Youioiust shave his bead and apply?, bllatere,' she urged, 'or I will sflud, for some one who will.'

Tlie bnsdtand's heftd was accordingly shaved closely and blisters applied. Tbe patient lay ail night in a drunken sleep, and notwithstanding the, jblisters were eating into Lis flt sb, it was riot till hpai morning that be began to beat about disturbed with pain.

About daylight be woke up tea most uncomfortable consciousness of blistered agonietC I 'What'does this mean?' be said, putting his bands to bis bandaged hpad. ,t.'{jie still-ryou mu8tu't^tir,' sa$, the wife 'you have been very sick.' 't^m hot sick.' •Oh, yes you are von have the brain fever. We have worked with you all night.' 'I should think you had.' groaned the poor victim. 'What's tbe matter with my feet?' 'Tbey am.all blistered.' %s 'Well, I'm better now take off the blistar*—dp,' be pleaded, piteously.

He was in i, most uncomfortable state —bis head covered with sores, and his feet and hands were still worse. 'Dear,' he said, groaning, 'if I should ever get sick in this way again, don't be alarmed and send for a doctor,and above all, don't blister me again.' 'Oh, indeed I will all tbat saved you were tbe blisters, and if you have^another such spell I should b6 more frightened than ever for the tendency, I am sure, is to apoplexy, and from the n6xt attack you will be likely to die unless there are the severest measures used.'

He made no further defense. Suffice it to say, he never had another attack.

USEFUL AND USELESS HUSBANDS. Tbe average husband is conceded by all intelligent wives to be utterly useless when at b@me- He may be acute and^ skillful at bis business, and be may be an affectionate husband and father, but when there is anything to be done in the house in the way of repairing furniture or improving cheap substitutes for bedsteads, mop handles, he is of less value than bis own little boy, who often helps his mother. .While this is findoiibtedty true of most men, tiiere is occasionally found one whose chief delight consists in constantly practicing as au amateur cabinet qouker, plumber or carpenter. He often prowls about the bouse, seeking articles upon which he can use a little ulue' or varnish,and devising plans for filling up the comer of the dining room with a few triangular shelves, &os for putting up a wooden mantla piece in tbe hall bedroom. The sound of his saw and batnuieri are heard ofMrn, and ne goes to bed at late h'.urs, with more paint adhering to his fingers than his wife regards hs strictly neaessary. It is a curious illustration of the erversity of tbe female sox that a husband witb his fondnbss for d«ing little useful things is held among wives to be even more undesirable than the kind of a husband who is perfectly useless. He is charged not only with a fiendish fondness for late- bammoring,but is constant ly upbraided because he 'makes so many chips.' In vain does he explain that planing a board necessarily results in chips, and that sawdust is the inevitable consequence of using a saw. He is told that ho ought to be ashamed of himself, and that no d«n ent man would tliinlt of making chips all over the floor. These things, however, never dishearten a bus band oian active disposition^ ho cannot possibly find any enjoyment in sitting at t.ome and doing nothing at all to him the littifc domestic jobs are a relaxation, especially when the nature of his daily routine of business is of another kino and we earnestly implore wives who happen to have such husbands to be indulgent toward them, as tbey are really of more value to them and their children than those who, wheu at boo e, do nothing but fill their rooms with tobacco smoke.

THE TRUE GENTLEMAN. He is above a low act. lie cannot stoop to commit a fraud. He invades no secret in tbe keeping of another. He takes selfish advantage ol no man's mistakes. He uses.no ignoble weapons in controversy. He never stabs in the dark. He is not one tbing to man's face and another to his back. If by accident beoomes into possession of bis neighbor's counsels, be passes tbem into instant oblivion. He bears sealed packages without tampering witb tbe. wax. Papers not meant for bis eye, whether tbey flutter in at bis window, or be open before him in unregarded exposure, are eecret to him. He profiiues bo privacy of another, however the sentry sleeps. Bolts and b*rs, locks and keys, bonds and securities, notice* to trespassers, are not for him. He may be trusted out of sight—near tbe thinnest partition—anywhere. He buys no offloe, he sells none, intrigues for none. He would rather Ail of bis rights than win tbem through dishonor. He will eat honest bread. He tramples on no sensitive feelings. He lnsalta no man. If be has a rebuke for another he is straightforward, open, and manly. He cannot descend toscnrrillity. Blllinagmte does not Ud on bia track. Of woman, and to ber. be speaks witb decency and respect. In short, whatever be judges honorable be practices toward every one. He is not always dressed in breadclothj 'Some people,' says a distinguished bishop, 'think a gentleman means a man of independent fortune—a man who flues sumptuously evenr day—a man who need not labor for his bread. None of tbeae make a gentleman—not one of tbem—nor all of tbem together., I have known men of tbe roughest exterior, who bad been used all their lives to follow tbe plow and look alter bones, as thorough gentlemen in heart as any nobleman wbo ever wore a ducai ooroneC I mean, I have known tbem as un*elftsh, I bave known tbem as truthful, I have known tbem a# sympathising and ail these qualities go to make what I.nndewtand by the term **a gentleman." •It i« a noble privilege which baa been sadly prostituted and whs* I want to teil you Is, tbat tbe humblest man, wbo baa tbe eoarseet work to do, yet, ir bis be*rt be tender, and pure, and ferae, «an be, in tbe most emphatic sense of tbe won), gentleman."'
