Few people realise what aa impor
tant organ the nose Is. It is the first
of the organs of respiration, ana un
less .Us functions are well performed
the whole breathing process is de
ranged. The nostrils are not open cav
ities with smooth walla through which
the air passes ia and out, as it would
through a rubber tube. They are di
vided iato several compartments by
bony projections covered with mueooe
membrane, aad the volume of air In
anuria ts broken up rato several
streams, so that all of it comes in con
tact with the Unlag membrane.
This warm and moist membrane
catches the dust snd other impurities,
and warms the sir so that it will do
no harm when coming la contact with
the more delicate membrane in the
bronchial tubes and lungs.
When the noee Is stopped up from
snv csuse one must breathe through
the mouth, and if this is continued
for any length of time the general
health will inevitably suffer.
The mouth Itself suffers first The
mucous membrane loses its moisture
anil lummM Inflamed. The -air is
neither warmed nor purified, and it lr
rltatea the llnina membrane of the air-
passages all the way down to the lungs,
so that a condition of sluggish Inflam
mation is excited.
But the general effects are more seri
ous than the local , One who ia a
mouth-breather aever gets enough air.
During the day he suffers less in this
respect, for the nerve-centers are more
active and force the respiratory mus
cles to act more energetically; but at
night this vigilance Is relaxed, the
amount of Inspired air Is greatly re
duced, and all the tissues suffer for
want of oxygen. For this ressoa the
mouth-breather alwsys feels tired and
out of sorts In the .morning.
The mind suffers as well ss the body,
and mouth-breathing children are al
most always backward in their stud
ies,. The question ofthe csuse of Qouth
breathlng, or rather of natal obstruc
tion, on which the mouth-breathing
depends, must be reserved for snother
article. Aa a rule. It is esslly found
on examination by the physician, aad
can be removed without difficulty.
What we would Insist upon here tS
the absolute necessity of its early re
moval. ..
A child who always breathes with
opea mouth, and whose voice has a
nasal twang, should be examined and
treated at the earliest possible moment
for the longer the trouble exists the
worse it is Uyr tt? child mentally, mor

for the curiously distort

upon standing objects.

ing how this earthquake twisted a
lofty monument at Chhatek. The
monument was an obelisk of brick,
coated with plaster, more than sixty
feet tall and twelve feet squsre at the
base. About six feet of the top were
broken off snd thrown to the south,
snd nine feet more were thrown to
the east Then a piece twenty feet in

feet above ground, and twisted in a di

For yesrs there has been much U?k
of building a railroad between Maal
toba nd Hudson Bay as a new outlet
for the wheat of the Canadian North
west. It seems likely that this project
will never be carried out but the aew
scheme, announced only a few months
ago, of connecting the foot of Lake Bu
pertor at Bault Ste. Marie with the
southwestern shores of Hudson Bay
Is bow advancing at the rate of half
a mile a day. This Is the Algoms Cen
tral rallrnaif hullrilna- mostly With
United States capital, but assisted by
the Canadian government which has
made invaluable concessions to the
company. About seventy miles of the
road are now completed. Some yeara
ago Mr. R. Bell aad other Canadian
explorers first revealed the region to
the southeast of Hudson Bsy. They
declared that It contained a great
abundance of spruce and other valu
able timbers and also much fine, arable
land. It waa thought that the corres
ponding region to the southwest ot
the bay must be equelly valuable, but
very little wss known of it until early
last summer when a number of min
eral and timber experts were sent
out oa the proposed route to ascertain
the possibilities of the country. There
was reason to believe that spruce
abounded and the main purpose of
building the road was to secure Urge
supplies of wood pulp for the paper
mills at Sault Ste. Marie. But it was
thought, that investigation would re
veal other important resources and
this belief Is Justified " by the reports
now coming In. The prospectors say
that vast forests of spruce, pine, hard
woods and other cedar lie ali aiong the
route. There are &lso great beds
pottery clsy, iron ore, copper, gypsum
and other minerals besides millions of
acres timbered with maple, beach and
oak that will make fine, farming lands
whea once cleared. The Ontario gov
ernnrent has made a contract with the
company to locate on these lsnds sev
eral hundred families a year for the
next ten years. Aa emigration office
has been established In England and it
ia expected to aend out the first party
in the coming spring. It Is said there
is spruce enough along the line of the
road to supply pulp for large paper
interests for many years. Consul Har
lan W. Brush has reported from Ni
agara Falls. Ontario, that It is the in
tentlon to establish a "seaside hotel'
at the terminus of the railroad on Hud
son bay. Oame Is plentiful there,
scores of lakes and rivers teeming with
fish may be easily reached, and the
scenery, the bracing climate and the
hunting and fishing are expected to at
tract thousands of tourists. New York
