It takes the place of the bell rope, and.
iustead of running through the car like
the bell rope, the cord which opens the
whistle is enclosed in a tube beneath
the car which couples automatically
when making up a train. The whistle“
is said to be away ahead of the bell.

THROAT TROUBLES. ‘5’
Points About Breathing in a Way That
Will Prevent Them.
“If people would only remember to
breathe through the nose; if only they
would think for a moment of the func-
tions of the nose, I would have scarce—
ly have anything to do in my profes-
sion,” said a well-known throat and ear
specialist recently:
“Yes! Free nasal breathing is the es-
sential of a healthy throat. :The nose
is the medlum made by nature to trans-
mit the air to the lungs; its passages
are provided with a slight growth of
hair, which acts as a. sieve in purifying
the air we breathe. These halrs col-
lect the dust particles, and because of
the natural supply of moisture in the
nose the air is sufficiently dampened in
passing through not to irritate the
lungs and throat.
“On the other hand, people who
breathe through the mouth will always
have a. dry, parched throat, and are sure
to be victims of hourseness, and sooner
or later will suffer from lung trouble.
“It is the natural outcome of the mis-
use of nature’s organs of respiration.
It is true that singers breathe through
the mouth, but it is only while singing
that they resort to this method of
breathing, and it is done only and sole-
ly because sufficient breath cannot be
taken into the lungs at a single respira-
tion to balance the great amount
given out in the production of the sing-
ing tone. he demand is‘ very great
and the supply must be equal to the de-
mand for singing production. On the
other hand, no one has ever seen a thor-
oughbred singer while exercising,
other than the voice, ‘usc his or her
mouth for the purposes of breathing.
This saves the throat from becoming
excessively dry, 3. natural result. of
which is hoarseness, and keeps the pas~
sages to the lungs well protected from
dust and microbes of disease.
“The cause for mouth breathing lies
in defective nasal passages. This nasal
Obstruction is known as adenoid. It
is a kind of vegetative growth at the
point Where the nose and throat join.
It is the cause of that common malady
known as nasal catarrh. It will also
cause chronic laryngitis, which is a.
source of untold annoyance. To rem-
edy any such trouble it is necessary to
have the obstruction removed. The old
method was to burn, but the physicians
of tO-day consider this dangerous. It
is a. simple process to remove them
with the trepan, saw, or knife. It takes
but a few minutes and is almost pain-
less. This bony growth is often the
cause Of earache among children. This
is due to the pressure upon the cus-
tachian tube, which leads to the car,
and often results in complete deafness.
It is advisable, therefore, to attend to
any such growth as soon as it becomes
noticeable. The first symptoms are
those of breathing through the mouth
and ‘snoring’ while asleep. The special
remedy is to make the patient breathe
through the nose, and to save the throat
from all irritants cold spunge baths,
and refrain fromflthe use. of cologne and
alcohol in the bath. Clear cold water
and friction will do more to make the
body healthy, the throat and chest
strong,'and the skin clear than any
other known process. The Greeks and
Spartans never used anything but clear
cold water for the bath, and they have
always been recognized as the perfec-
tion of strength and health.
“Just here it will be well to add that
bicyclists must have. free nasal breath-
ing if they enjoy the greatest benefit
from this sport.”——N . Y. World.
SECRECY AND. DECEIT.
The Administration of Russia ls False to
‘ the Core.
It is not only with regard to literature
that excessive strictness of the censor-
ship has n. disastrous effect. In Russia
it is impossible to believe what one.
reads, for everything bears the impress
of falsity. Statistics, published by 511-;
preme order, are falsified, and no one
knows what is going on in the country,
whether the cholera is raging or the
peasants are famine-stricken; conse-
quently the peep ‘ ,Suifer indirectly for
want of relief dur fig-famine, while the,
cholera may be spread broadcast over
the land. For instance, in the present
year the writer visited Nijni-Novgorod
at the time of the great fair there and
found that the. cholera was raging, and
had been for some time. Notwith-
standing this, the government pub-
lished no statistics of cholera in Nijni,
but gave. that town a clean bill of health,
at the risk of spreading the disease all
over European Russia and, Asia, and
with ‘the benevolent object in view of
not interrupting the business of the
market. Thus all this secrecy causes
material harm. Distress and famine
existing in outlying districts are kept
secret, and the wretched peasants per-
ish for want of that assistance which
they would receive from charitable peo-
ple if their requirements were made
known. Further, no comments are al-
lowed to be printed on the actions of
civil or military officers, police or any
government officials, and there is con-
sequently little to prevent them abus-
ing their power—a. privilege of which
they frequently avail themselves. Such
being the case, and the Russians being
an Asiatic nation in many of their char-
acteristics, it is not surprising that the
administration of the country is cor-
rupt to the core—Westminster Review.
Don't Kiss on the Mouth.
Children can be trained with the
greatest ease to offer the check or the
{forehead for the proffered caress, and
to elude the attempt to contaminate
the lips. The incubation period of any
disease may or may not be infective in
the ordinary acceptation of the term.
Upon this matter our knowledge, ”so
far, is by no means certain, while,
on the other hand, recent investigations
would seem to indicate that the infec-
tion of zymotic diseases in patients is
of very much longer duration than used
fermerly to be supposed, enduring, in-
deed, long nfter convalescence has bee
established. '

Commodlous Snbterraneons Quarters,
. With Extensive Equipment.
BRISTOL, 1nd,, April 10.-—Two deputy
United States marshals are taking turns
at watching a lonely island in St. Joseph
river. in the northeastern part of Elkhart
county, on which a subterranean counter-
feiters’ den has been discovered. The cave
was accidentally discovered a few days
ago by two boys who, while boating on
. the river, had landed on the island. The
subterranean chamber ls about 25 feet
square and 18 feet high. A door on either
side opened Into two smaller rooms. Im-
mediately under a hollow stump was a
sort of furnace. Doublebunks for eight
persons were against one side of the room,
and on a table were dishes and cooking
utensils.
Against the other side was a large work-
bench, and underneath it in a chest was a
complete set of counterfeltcrs’ tools. In
a sort of cupboard were found piles of
spurious gold and silver coins in all stages
of preparation. Eagles and half eagles
and silver dollars Were the principal de-
nominations manufactured. The coins
represented a face value of a little more
than $4,000.
The agents of the government who have
visited the place say the workshop was
evidently that of men of genius. The
process of manufacture was to cast the
metal, then plate it with genuine silver or
gold and afterward to run it through the
dies and milling machines to give it the
clear cut face which marks good money.
There was found in the cave the pocket-
book of William Crumpacker, a Wealthy
dered about a year ago. His murderers
have never been discovered. Among the
other articles found was a package of pa-
pers which have been identified by Albert
Salisbury, ex-postmaster of Bristol, as pa-
per! that Were stolen from the postofiice.
As‘ soon as the discovery was made the
representatives of the United States at
Grand Rapids were notified; also the secret
agents of the treasury department of In-
dianapolis. TWO representatives of the
Indianapolis office Were sent here imme-
diately to watch the cave day and night,
but news of the discovery could not be
kept, and the members of the gang have
not reappeared.
For the last 18 months the agents of the
treasury departmentin Indiana and Mich-
igan have co-operated in an effort to dis-
cover Where counterfeit money that Was
constantly being put in circulation In the
southern part of Michigan and the north-
ern part of Indiana was being made.
They have missed several old time coun-
terfeiters for a year or more, and they
have no doubt now that they are the men
who have been living in this underground
home and making money undisturbed.
