It is curious how so many of us in- telligent bipeds don't know how to do the most instinctive things, For in- stance, a great many individuals ac- tually don't know how to breathe ex- cept passively. Tell them to take a deep inspiration, to rill the chest with air, to breathe in as deeply as pos- sible, and they will make the most ridiculous effort without breathing at all. And only one person in a dozen knows how to blow his nose, a fact which accounts for a good many cases of middle ear infection, and probably favors the complete development of many a coryza, or head "cold" which normally should have been aborted by natural process. The right way to blow the nose is a lot easier, though less resounding than the wrong way. The right way is the way the Greek, Italian or -Po- lish laborer does, to wit, one side at a time and that done well—only of course a handkerchief is somewhat useful in this operation. When the double-barreled method is used, as most people use it, there is a conges- tion of the lining of the nose, and besides a very ineffective cleasing of the nasal cavity. Likewise there is a right and wrong way to spray the nasal passages, sup - peeing disease makes spraying de- sirable. The atomizer—riot nebulizer —should have a horizontal barrel or tube, never a vertical or upward pointing tip. The nasal passages run straight back from the nostrils to the upper throat, not upward. Hence, in order to spray a cleansing or medicinal solution thoroughly in the nasal cav- ity you must direct the steam hori- iuntally backward as you sit erect. If you direct the spray upward it strikes the sensitive roof of the pas- sage and irritates, and does not .go far enough back to do any good. A so-called DeVilbiss atomizer, No. 18, is ideal, since it can be completely rterilizcd by boiling. And different m• nibers of a family should never use en atomizer unless it is sterilized. Here we may say a word about snuf- fing nuf- I i Balt water into the nose. There ie no curative virtue and considerable harm in this practice, unless the solu- tir.n is very weak—never more than a level tablespoonful of salt in a pint •:?'boiled, lukewarm water. But spray it in the close, do not snuff it in. When anything is drawn into the nose 1:y t7nufT'ing time is danger of enter- ieg the Eustachian tubes leaching to the care and causing very serious t Yawning. Yawning is a peculiar act, and one that has never yet been properly ac - tempted for. It is not by any means L. sign .of fatigue only, although it ' sometimes produced by over-exer- tion. But an attack of yawning comes on much more duickly if one is in- t(rnsely bored, and certainly a stuffy atmosphere tends to produce it. It is also noticeable that when one has gone considerably past one's usual mai-time, the tendency to yawn fre- quently becomes irresistible. A very peculiar Feature of this complaint is its infectiousness; one person can easily set half a dozen all yawning in tern. When present in a very marked extent it is supposed to be the outcome of anaemia, indigestion, or ether complaint. Health Hints. f Nova Scotia Man Has Good News FINDS IN DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS A CURE FOR HIS RHEUMATISM. States Out of His Own Experience That Dodd's Kidney Pills Are a Sure Relief Froin Pain. Greenfield, Queen's Co., N,S., March 27th, (Special).—"To anyone who suf- fers from rheumatism I say: "Take Dodd's Kidney Pills. They will bo sure to give you a release from pain." This is the message of Cornelius Hirtle, a well known farmer living near here. Mr. Hirtle suffered from rheumatism for four years and found a cure in Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I wag in bad shape for four years," Mr. Hirtle says in giving his experi- ence. "My back and hips troubled me so much that I was not able to do much without suffering. I also had stiffness in the joints, my muscles cramped and I felt) heavy and sleepy after meals. I had a bitter taste in my mouth, especially in the morn- ing. My appetite was fitful and I was often dizzy. "I suffered from shortness of breath, I was often dizzy and I was depressed and low spirited. "I book six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and they did me so much good that I am recommending them to all my friends. They are better than any doctor." Every one of Mr. Hirtle's symptoms was a symptom of kidney , disease. That's why Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him. SARAJEVO MURDER A GODSEND. Dr. Liebknecht Speaks Out in German. Parliament. The Cologne Gazette gives the fol- lowing account of the turbulent scene which occurred in the German Reich- stag recently while Dr. Karl Lieb- knecht, Socialist, denounced the de- moralizing effects of the war: "Dr. Liebknecht, discussing the educational budget, said: "Education to -day serves to strengthen militarism and capitalism. You act as if you wish to throw open to the people the road to education, but that is only because capitalism requires soldiers. The teaching of history is sysbem- atically distorted for the purpose of introducing certain political convic- tions into the schools, and also hatred against England. The militarizing of schools converts them into training stables for war. You educate your children to be war machines. With regard to war, their ideals seem to be embodied in poisoned gas bombs. "'In the schools it should be taught not only that the murder of Arch- duke Franz Ferdinand of Austria at Sarajevo was an incident which Should inspire horror, but it should also be taught that there were wide circles in Germany and Austria in which this murder was regarded as a veritable Godsend.' "At these arose in the words, a wild uproar house, the president vigorously ringing his bell. Dr. Lieb- knecht shouted: 'it is the truth; it is the whole truth."The president thereupon called him to order and the majority of the members left the Chamber. "Dr. Liebknecht went on: ',Just as some Sitting in the sun for half an hour each day will strengthen weak nerves. A yellow, jaundiced complexion yields to the olive oil treatment.

A bunch of raw recruits were being initiated into the mysteries of target practice. The sergeant, an officious chap, took the gun from the bands of the first man in the ]ilio and said —"Er-- this is a rifle, you know. This is the barrel, this the stock, and this is the magazine. You put the clip of cartridges in here. These little • things on the barrel are the sights. You look along them when you take aim. Then yolr fire by pressing this little thing, which is the trigger.

The president for the second time called the speaker to order, but he con- tinued: 'Tho workers themselves must tackle the job of education. The troops must not fight merely in the trenches; they ought to lower their arms and direct them against the common enemy.' "The president again rang his bell: Liebknecht tried to continue, but the president kept on ringing and said, addressing the members, 'I beg that all those present who still wish to hear Dr. Liebknecht will stand up.' As only Socialists stood up Lieb- knecht was forbidden to speak.fur- thea•, the majority present loudly ap- plauding this decision. Liebknecht, however, continued in his efforts to speak, but could not make himself heard owing to the terrific commo- tion. As he was leaving the rostrum there were loud shouts of 'Out with him.'" OLD HOMES CHANGE HANDS. War Has Forced Thousands in Eng- land to Give Up Estates. Thousands of stately homes in England are changing hands, accord- ing to the real estate authorities. The old owners have in many instances been forced by increased taxes to seek more moderate places, and some of the estates are being purchased by persons who have profited by war con- tracts. There is talk of wholesale migra- tion and predictions that country life will undergo a revolution. Many of the estates may even be cub up and parcelled out among disbanded sol- diers. In discussing the effects of the war on the landed gentry, Francis Hirst, a widely known economist, said that it was only a natural result, and that these people would feel the pinch more than the poorer classes for many years to come. "The mere economic effect of the loss of hundreds of thousands of young men in the prime of life and vigor is almost incalculable," said Mr. Hirst. "We may safely assume that by November we had lost through the war about a tenth of all the wealth we possessed before. "The present public expenditure of the Government is believed to be about equal to the whole of the pri- vate incomes of the inhabitants of „.

There is a boom in tattooing in the East end, according,. to Edward Lov- ett of the Folk Lore Society, says London Tit -Bits. The boom is not among soldiers and sailors, but among girls of the East end, it being a rapidly -growing fashion, when a local belle walks out with a young man, to have his name tattooed on her arm. Mr. Lovett gives the fol- lowing amusing description of a scene which he recently witnessed in the shop of a friend in the East end, who, among other avocations, is a tattooing artist: Two girls entered the shop. One of them took off her jacket, turned up her sleeve, at the same time sitting down near a table on which was a small electric apparatus. The artist then made some design on the arm with the electric needle. When the operation was finished Mr. Lovett asked if he might see what the de- sign was. He was allowed to inspect the arm, upon which, near the elbow, were the wards: "I love Joe Smith." "Of course, it wasn't .The Smith," says Mr. Lovett, "but that is a detail." Naturally Mr. Lovett wanted to know what happened should the girl wish to. get rid of this somewhat plain statement. "That is quite easy," replied the tattooist. "Should the gill change hc'r hind, and find that she loves Bill. Scroggins instead of ,Jou Smith, I touch up the old name and convert it into a new design, usually, a bunch of flowers. It is a bit diffi- cult at times, especially with a long name, though I generally manage it somehow. - Why, one arm I know has twenty-seven names on it.
