Pataate aa Amy Oae Cam Make It.
Dr. Edwin De Baun of Passaic, N. J.,
makes the announcement regarding the
time honored statement that a man has
died from lack of breath that if breath
was all he needed he should have lived.
Considering that air is the most plen
tiful resource of nature, having, as polit
ical economists would say, no value be
cause of its abundance, one would think
that Dr. De Baun had made no particu
lax discovery. But there is more in his
statement than is apparent at first.
From time immemorial physicians
have directed their ingenuity toward an
effective application of this wealth of
air, but without satisfactory results.
Cases of suspended animation come un
aer tueir notice every day. Jden are
rescued from the water after a hard bat
tle with the waves, their lungs filled with
water, the life's action suspended. In
the majority of instances restoration of
animation cannot be effected. The lungs
may be emptied of the water; the life
giving air, so abundant, is at hand and
if it could only be forced 'into the organs
and respiration started life could be re
newed. Physicians' efforts to solve the
problem have been unceasing, but, says
Dr. De Baun, misdirected.
When a man is rescued from the wa
ter, the first thing done is to empty the
lungs of water by rolling him on a bar
rel or lifting him from the ground head
downward. Then he is laid on his
back, the arms raised to expand the
lungs and a ryhthmic contraction and
expansion of the chest walls effected by
alternate pressure and relaxation. Some
times the forcing process has been kept
up for hours with ultimate success, but
considering the possibilities recognized
in artificial respiration the results have
been far from encouraging.
Dr. De Baun has worked on an entire
ly new line, and the result of his experi
ments and observation is a method of
internal respiration, which, he claims,
cannot possibly fail. His attention was
first directed to the subject by a case of
suspended animation m a newly born
child. It has been the practice in such
cases to force air into the lungs of the
infant by breathing into its mouth and
then contracting the lungs by pressure
upon the chest. But this 1 -s been found
not only intensely disagreeable, but hieb
ly inefficient.
Dr. De Baun decided to try a now ex
pedient. He passed a small rubber tube
through the nose of the infant and down
into the throat. Closing the month, he
forced air through the tube from a rub
ber bag, inflating the lungs; then, releas
ing the pressure from the mouth, found,
as expected, that the elasticity of the
muscles of the chest caused immediate
contraction of the lungs, forming a com
plete respiration. This was kept up for
45 minutes, when natural resniration
had been restored, and a life had been
aaved. Since then Dr. De Baun has per
fected this hastily improvised apparatus
and finds that animation may be often
restored within 15 minutes.
The apparatus is as simple as it is in
genious. It consists of a long rubber
tube, near one end of which is a piece of
soft rubber with which to cover the
month and nose. At the other end are
two rubber bulbs. After the tube has
been inserted between the teeth, and the
mouth and nose covered slightly, the
lower bulb is compressed, forcing air
into the second bulb, which acts as a res
ervoir. This second bulb is much more
elastic than the other and maintains a
steady pressure of air through the tube.
It is covered with loose netting, which
acts as a sort of safety valve against
overpressure. The tube is fitted with a
stopcock that may be used to lend force
to the first few respirations.
A few compressions of the lower bulb
are sufficient to fill the lungs. Then the
pressure on nose and mouth is relaxed,
and the lungs are emptied by the nat
ural elasticity of the muscles of the
chest. This elasticity remains even aft
er death, and with this instrument it is
quite possible to make a dead man
breathe regularly as long as the applica
tion continues. In some of the doctor's
experiments on dead bodies this simu
lation of life has been absolutely star
tling.
It is not for dead men, however, that
the "insufflator," as it is called, has been
devised, but for men who have been
brought apparently to death's door by
asphyxiation from gas and water. In the
latter case the lungs must first be emp
tied. The apparatus weighs but a few
ounces. It is not patented, as Dr. De
Baun is a strict observer of medical eth
ics, which declare that the discoveries
of a physician belong to the world. He
is treasurer of the state board of medical
examiners of New Jersey nd has in
vented several valuable surgical instru
ments and devices. New York "World.

Origin of the Peach.
Nothing is now more universally ac-
a ... ...
cepiea man tne fact that the peach is an
improved variety of the almond. The
almond has a thin shell around the
stone, which splits open and shows the
stone when mature. This outer nTrin
has simply become fleshy in the peach.
so that it is all that gives it its specific
character, it seems now clear from in
vestigation ra the history of ancient
Babylon that in their gardens, nearly
4,000 years ago, the peach was cultivated
then as it now is.
It must have been many years before
this that the peach was improved from
the almond, and this fact goes to show
the great antiquity of the fruit. Possibly
gardening in some respects, at least so
far as it relates to many of our cultivated
fruits, was as far advanced 6,000 or 8,000
or perhaps 10,000 yean back as it is to
day. Phoenicians, many thousands of years
ago, as is proved by the records, had in
their gardens almonds, apricots, bananas,
citrons, figs, grapes, olives, peaches,
pomegranates; and even sugar cane was
in extensive cultivation. Certainlv this i

good man! said "damn" more than once
as we regret to remember, and whan he
called Raymond "the little villain" that
cool headed man retorted in language
which many people have forgotten. The
two did not get along very welTtogether
when one was editor oi i ne xn oune ana
the other among his assistants, nor after
ward when they were editors of rival
papers, though both were of the same
party. Neither of them was an "ideal
editor," or a very deep thinker, or a first
class statesman or anotaoie scholar.
ureeley was a stronger and more
stirring writer than Raymond, but Ray
mond was a far more skillful editor than
Greeley. Greeley was more fervent'' in
mina than Kaymonu: Raymond was
more judicious and nimble than Greeley.
Raymond, when he was a member of the
legislature, and the speaker of the
sembly, and the lieutenant governor of
the state, and a member of congress, and
a delegate to state or national conven
tions, gave evidence that he was greatly
more ingenious in politics than Greeley,
who, indeed, during 'the brief period of
his service in congress, did not win dis
tinction. Raymond alwavs kept up a
close intimacy with those astute political
managers, Thurlow Weed and William
H. Seward, while Greeley was unable to
stay long in the "political firm of Sew
ard, Weed & Greeley," in which, as he
said when he left the concern, he had
been a "junior partner."
Greeley was more of a philosopher than
Raymond, who, in turn, was more of a
man of affairs than Greeley. Greeley
was oiten compared with Benjamin
Franklin, though he did not possess
Franklin's scientific quality; Raymond
might bo compared, in many respects.
with Franklin Pierce, though he was not
of Pierce's politics. Greeley had certain
eccentricities of manner and actioni
Raymond was always regarded as a very
level headed man. Both of them be
longed to the antislavery school in poli
tics; but Greeley's fervor in the'eause
far surpassed Raymond's. Greeley had
in his earlier years been a champion of
Bocial reforms" which were bitterly
denounced by Raymond, who.Tioweve'f,.
in the latter years of his life, began to
look with favor upon certain theories of
socialism. Greeley was negligent in his
dress; Raymond was natty. Both Gree
ley and Raymond were founders t New
York daily papers which 6till exist, but
neither of wtach is now characterized by
the traits of its founder.
We agree with The Kansas Commoner
that none of the New York papers now
possesses the individuality of Greeley's
Tribune or Raymond's Times, and no
one of them can possess it, for both of
these memorable individuals lone ago
departed for "the undiscovered country
from whose bourn no traveler returns"
after it had been their lot "to grunt and
sweat jUndrr a weary lif e," but that is
not a reason why we should despair of
the American press. We may yet have
editors not unworthy to be compared
with the greatest and best we have ever
had. ,

A Dance Without a Smile.
They have a singular kind of dance
conducted on the greens of countrv;vil
lages in Russia. The dancers stand
apart, a knot of young men here, a knot
of maidens there, each sex by itself,'and
silent as a crowd of mutes. A piper
breaks into a tune, a youth pulls off his
cap and challenges his girl with a wave.
and a bow. If the girl is willing, .she
waves her handkerchief in token of as
sent. The youth advances, takes a cor
ner of the handkerchief in his hand and
leads his lassie round and round.
No word is spoken, and no laugh' is
heard, btiff with cords and rich with
braids the girl moves heavily by herself,
going round and round, and never al
lowing her partner to touch her- hand.
The pipe goes droning on for hours in
the same sad key and measure, and the
prize of merit in this "circling," as the
dance is called, is given by spectators to
the lassie who mall that summer revelry
has never spoken and never smiled.

Cfcmmander James Bobbins of tho local
pott Q. A. R., Cooper's Mills, Lincoln
county, in this state, is one of tho prom
inent men of his community, a citizen
generally esteemed as a man of integrity
and intelligence. Mr. Bobbins has
brilliant war record as a member of tho
Thirtieth Maine. He has lived in tho
village since 1883 and is a joweler. His
house U a neat cottago house on tho
brow of the hill as ono drives into tho
Mills. In the narrow front hallway is
Mr. Bobbins' bench, lathe and tools, and
here you will find him placidly working
away at the tiny wheels and springs.
If vou aro on sufficiently intimate
terms with Mr. Bobbins you will find
him indulging in his hobby. He has
one. like the most of us. In his coso the
hobby is startlingly picturesque, and
may be safely said that he is tho most orig
inal man in the state of Maino, so far as
his curious fancy is concerned. He wears
petticoats. Not when ho goes down
street for the mail and to do his market
ing. At these times ho slips on the mas
online pantaloons. Yet ho does not
wear his trousers, even, like ordinary
masculinity. No suspenders for him,
He wears a sort of dress waist, and his
trousers are buttoned tightly about his
hips. He always wears a woman's num
ber six shoe, with .high heels and grace
ful, slender shape. Mr. Bobbins weighs
something like 180 pounds, and tho effect
produced by those shoes peeping coyly
out from beneath manly trouser legs is
startling, to say tho least. Mr. Robbms
doesn't mince or toddle, and his shoes
seem to fit him pretty well.
He reserves his petticoats for the sane
tity of the home circle, for the partial
retirement of his orchard and for calls
upon neighbors with whom his acquaint
ance is close. Mr. Robbms isn't squeam
ish about showing himself in petticoats,
Ho enjoys wearing them, he has worn
them when opportunity has presented
all his life long, and he wears them sci
entifically too. In the first place, there's
no half way business about it. Every
detail of feminine attire is there, and
Mr. Bobbins is rightly fussy about tho
details.
There is no woman in Cooper's Mills
who owns so many dresses of such excel
lent' material as does the commander of
the Cooper's Mills post. He takes pride
in having only the best. His lingerie is
elaborately tucked and ruffled, edged
with lace and fashioned according to the
most approved models of any lady's
wardrobe. The material is of the finest
quality, and when Mr. Robbins lifts his
skirts the eye gets a vision of ruffles, lace
and "all such like" of dazzing whiteness
and immaculate smoothness.
He is very particular about his iron
ing. .Everything must he starched "up
to the handle," whatever that is, and'
sometimes Mrs. Robbins finds her hands
full and her clotheshorse loaded down
like a pack donkey. Amazed neighbors,
who were not fully aware of the extent
of Mr. Robbins' hobby, have been obliged
to ask for more details, when Mrs. Rob
Bins has laconically informed them that
"it is Jim's ironing." Mr. Robbins' ho
siery is of the long sort, and it is cur
rently rumored that the stockings on
hitched up at the sides. His corsets he
has made especially for his girth, and
these he wears continually. His shape
is fairly good, especially when he dresses
up for afternoons.
In the morning he wears print gowns,
for he assists in the housework. Almost
every morning Mr. Robbins in bis print
gbwn is seen sweeping off tho piazza
and whisking About the kitchen. He
wears petticoats at home almost ex
clusively, putting on his garb as soon as
he enters the house. For afternoon
wear his gowns are elaborate. Some of
them aro made by Mr. Robbins, and
some are fashioned by local dressmak
ers. One cashmere dress is quite a
favorite, and this is frequently worn by
Mr. Robbins when he promenades in
the orchard. He has lots of these good
clothes, all of fashionable cut. puffed
sleeves, and with all the fixings that go.
to lend grace and dignity. Usually he
wears an apron and especially so when
at his bench. The apron is white ordi
narily and has a bib with ruffled straps

HIS WIFE SHAVED HIM.
She Waem't Gala- to Be Late to Caaxeh Jf
She Kaew It.
The story was told by a talkative man
who was evidently from the country.
Tho barber drew it out by the usual ques
tion asked of new patrons, "DoyouBbavo
yourself?"
"Not much." was the reply. "Doea
mv face look as if I did?"
The barber confessed that his face was
in good condition, whereupon the talka
tive man added, with a chuckle:
"And I don't usually get shaved by
any harbor, either."
"How's that?' asked the barber.
"Mv wife shaves mo." answered tho
talkative man. with another chuckle.
"She's dono it every day for five years,'
he added, "and I ain't never had any rea
son to complain of her work."
"Who taught her the trade?" asked the
barber, becoming interested.
"Learned it herself. It came about
this way: One Sunday morning soon aft
er wo were married I started off to a bar
ber shop to get shaved before going to
church. Tho shop was crowded, as I
knew it would be. But as I'd never been
any great churchgoer I didn't hurry. I
waited for my favorite barber, who of
courso was everybody's favorite too.
And when I finally got home it was pret
ty late. I thought my wife would get
tired of waiting, you see, and go on to
church alone, expecting me to follow.
But she hadn't. Sho sat with her things
on, and when I. saw her I was prepared
to catch it," and the talkative man gig
gled reflectively.
"And did you catch it?" prompted the
barber.
"Well, sho wanted an explanation, and
of courso I told her tho usual story about
having to wait.
" well,' says she, yon wou't do no
more waiting around barber shops while
you aud I live together. You can shave
yourself in future.'
" 'No, I can't,' says I. I cut my face.'
" 'Then Til shavo you,' says she.
" 'You can't,' says I.
" 'Yes, I can,' says she, 'and I will.'
"I thought the best way to convince
her and keep peaco in the family was to
let her try it once, so the next Sunday I
submitted, telling her beforehand that
if she didn't give me a clean shave and
no cuts, I wouldn't go to church. Well,
sir, she gave me as good a shave as I ever
got from a barber, and after that I let
her keep it up, and I've never been sorry
for it. I tell you, it's a luxury there
can t many poor men afford."
"Next!" said the barber. Buffalo Ex

Cotton Factory Experiments.
A system or moistening the air of a
cotton factory as is required in some
departments of a mill before blowing it
into the rooms has been the subject of
much experiment. It has been found
that, if a jet of steam or vapor is dis
charged into the main duct any degree
of humidity desired can bo obtained, but
all tho air is moistened alike, being dis
tributed to tho different rooms by tho
risers leading thereto. That, however,
which is best adapted for one depart
ment in a cotton mill may not prove,
equally lavorable for another. i
Then, too, the introduction of moist
ure at this point may work disastrously
to the walls of the ducts and risers. It
is now found that this objection may be
overcome at a small expense, by carry
ing a steam. pipe down through each
room and putting opposite each opening
in the flue, through which the air enters
tho room, an outlet with valves for regu
lating the flow of the steam. In this
way the exhaust steam from the engine
which drives the blower flows into the
room, and being caught up by the cur
rent of an passing from the flue is thus
distributed throughout the room. Ex
perience with this plan through cold
weather has proved its peculiar value.

A stringed Instrument suspended in a
favorable position near a pianoforte will
sound when tones corresponding to the
open strings are produced on the piano
forte. The volume of the answering
I tone will depend upon atmospheric con
ditions, the quality and color of the per
suading tone and the sensitiveness of the
responding material. There is a famil
iar anecdote told of a famous tenor, who
by singing the tone that was consonant
with, that of a wineglass, could make the
glass shiver so violently that it would
fall to pieces. It is because of this tonal
.sympathy that the cause of a harsh, rat
tling tone that may suddenly appear in a
pianoforte is detected with difficulty.
Though it may appear to be in tho in
strument, it is often far away and may
come from a loose globe or pendant ' a
chandelier. Even a key in a door has
been known to be the guilty cause. St.

The tern "yacht" ia derived from the
Danish word "jaght," meaning a ohase;
hssce yachting ia the chaateg of one ves
sel after another, and accordingly yacht
ing and yacht racing are aynoBymow
expressions.
A yacht is and always has been essen
tially a pleasure craft, but in the early
days bo yacht of any siza existed. Thus
we find a writer in 1708 referring to a
yacht as "a small ship built for swiftness
and pleasure rather than for merchan
dise or warlike service." History does
not tell us where, when or under what
circumstances yachts were first built,
but it is certain they are of ancient ori
gin and were only owned by royal per
sons and great nobles. The latter fact
receives corroboration from an ancient
but carefully compiled dictionary of sin
gular words, where a yacht is described
as "a pleasure craft of not more than
100 tons for the king's use."
The earliest mention of a yacht in this
country was as far back as the Anglo-
Saxon period, when King Athelstan re
ceived from the king of Norway a pres
ent of a magnificent state barge, rigged
with purple sails and decorated with
wrought gold. Queen Elizabeth, we
know, frequently used a state barge,
and so have successive sovereigns to this
day. It is curious to relate, and goes
far to show tho primitive nature of our
early resources, that while foreigners
were able to build yachts their example
was not followed in this country till
1588, when the first English yacht was
constructed at Cowes and launched
from that port.
But while 1588 maybe fixed as the
commencement of yacht building in
England.it cannot be said that during
the next half century much progress was
made with the newly acquired industry.
Indeed, had it not been for Charles II,
it is probable that the trade would not
havo been established for some time to
come, lung (Jharies, however, was very
fond of sailing, and the Dutch East India
company, with the view of gaining royal
favor, presented him with a small sloop
rigged vessel. The advent of the foreign
built vessel evidently stimulated native
talent, as we find Evelyn, in his diary of
Oct. 1, 1661, writing, "I sailed this morn-
ing with his majesty in oneof his yachts or
pleasure boats, vessels not known among
us till the Dutch .East India company
presented that curious piece to the king."
But the king was not only a yachtsman;
he was also a designer, and drew the
lines of the Jamie, a 25 tonner, built at
Lambeth, and raced her against tho Be-
zan, a small Dutch buut vessel belong
ing to the Duke of York.
The course was from Greenwich to
Gravesend and back and the prize 100,
which was won by the Bezan. As the
ships were designed and constructed in
different countries the race may fairly
claim to havo possessed an international
character, while from the fact that the
royal owners steered their own boats it
was clearly an amateur match. Unfor
tunately with the death of Charles H
came another lull in the history of yacht
ing, and it was not till early in the eight
eenth century that any real revival took
place. During this long interval, how
ever, yachting had gradually become a
more democratic amusement, and the
sport of kings had descended to the level
of commoners. Cork harbor became a
favorite yachting ground and during
the summer months was crowded with
diminutive pleasure vessels. Indeed, so
popular did the sport become that in 1720
the Cork Harbor Water club was formed
to encourage yacht racing. The club ul
timately developed into what is now the
Royal Cork Yacht club. Hero, then, we
have the first authentic attempt at organ
ization in the yachting world.
A few years later the Bport came into
favor in the south of England, and Mait-
land, in his "History of London" (1789),
refers to sailing as one of the amuse
ments to bo met with on the river
Thames, while later still (1801) Strutt,
in his well known work on "Sports and
Pastimes," mentions the existence of a
society consisting of certain gentlemen
who gave a silver cup to be sailed for
annually in the vicinity of London. To
ward the close of the eighteenth century
Cowes became tho favorite resort of
yacht racing, bnt still the contending
vessels were of small size, none being
over 85 tons. It was .not until the foun
dation of the yacht club, afterward the
Royal Yacht club and now the world re
nowned Royal Yacht squadron, that
yachting in this country may fairly be
said to have established itself as a na
tional sport, and even then (1812) the
number of yachts afloat only reached CO,
all told. But from this time the popu
larity of yachting rapidly grew, and club
after club followed in quick succession.

his mother, with tat divine patience
and insight which belong to mothers ia
general, found that if the lad was to
have his wish at all it must be through
her. She obtained a book and soon)
taught him all she knew the scale, the
keynote and how to find it, and the time
of the notes.
This was only "book learning," how
ever, and the question was to adapt it
to the use of the voice. Little Horace
wanted to sing by note, and that his
mother could not teach him. She could
sing by ear, however, and the two hit
upon a species of reverse process. The
mother sang familiar tunes, and the boy
watched tho notes, observing how the
intervals and time ran along, and, as ho
expressed it, "soon began almost to sing
with us."
And from singing airs they knew into
notes that boro no meaning they finally
learned to sing airs they did not know
out of similar notation. The method
had been unlocked, and further progress
was easy. The mother's heart had found
out the way. Yonth'a Companion.

Situation In Sicily.
Rojie, Oct. 31. The condition of
affairs in Sicily is getting dangerous,
owing to the action of the people in com
bining into clubs called Fisci, the object
of which is to compel the lessening of
taxation ahd obtaining better wages.
The government has sent an official to
study the situation, and, if he thinks it
necessary,' to dissolve the clubs. It is
feared that tho result of the combina
tions will be an outbreak against the
tnnxeeois and the, officials.
