Next we look to the skin; the millions of pores bring widely oporte!. the increased perspiration carries out of the body a ilarrr Quantity of rfTotn matter thnn would otherwise escape. Digestion, hiso, is so markedly Improved by walking that the ap petite Is sharpened for a subsequent meal. ami the food Is taken with a keener relish. Then, as everybody knows, the circula tion of the blood Is accelerated, so that every nook and corner of the body receives an extra quantity of nutriment, lastly, the organs of exiretion are stimulated by walking, so that a larger quantity of refuse Is eliminated by the natural channels.' The few facts thus briefly enumerated should of themselves suffice to encourage the prac tice of walking. But more has yet to be claimed In favor of this admirable exercise. In addition to what has already been stated respecting respiration, still further benefits accrue from the moro perfect breathing or walking exercise. The Wieet Is separated from the abdo men by tncuna o ftjio diaphragm, whicU oc cupies much the position of a celling and floor between an upper and lower chamber. Above tho dlupliragm are the lungs, which partially rest upon tho structure, while Im mediately below It urn the stomach, liver and spleen. The diaphragm, being an elas tic membrane, is pressed downward ns the lungs are fully inflated with air. This downward 1 movement brings pressure to bear on the organs below, hence they nre constantly submitted to a species of mas gage. , Treatment of this nature Is highly bene ficial all round, but It Is especially so with regard to the liver; consequently, we find that persona accustomed to regular walk ing exercise rurely need to complain of ft "torpid liver." And then, beyond all this, the more complete Inflation of the lungs dun to walking occasions a more perfect supply of gaaeous food. The actual gain of oxygen, and the Increased dispersion of carbonic acid, are very nearly doubled by the exercise. Pearson's Monthly. STRAIGHT TALK FROM OLD MAN "Dad" Pomps a Few Measures of Sense Into Ills Conceited ; Son. "Bhe couldn't work nie," said the young man with the unusually long head,' boast fully. "There nln't none of 'em can as fur us that goes," he added. "When I was a young chap like you they could all work me for all I was worth, and as long's they'd a mind to," observed the old man with the clean, pink face and the white chin beard. "I enjoyed it." "They can't work me," replied the young man with the long bead. "I don't fall for It. What is there In it for me?" "Faselnatln" society," suggested the old nun. "I can visit with myself an' not get lone some." said the younij man. "I've always found myself pretty good compuny without biowln' myself for outsiders. If I blow tifiy money. It's going to be on something that'll do me good. I'm a good feller, nn' there ain't no, good reason why I shouldn't treut myself well. Why would I take her to the show once when I can take myself twice for thes ame money?" "If you put It that way maybe you're right," said the old man. "Suro I'm right. I've been working for myself, an' there ain't no reason why I shouldn't let myself have a little fun now and then. She ain't done nothln' for mc as I know of, aiV' what's more, le ain't liUlr.tr."

"I'm too foxy for thut.'' 'And too fond of yourself?" "Sure. Why shouldn't I be? '8 I say, I'm good to myself." "1 ain't disputing that,, my son," saiil the old man. "Anybody can see that witq half an eye. The question Is, why (should you be?" "I don't know any better friend I've got,' said the young man. "I do," said the old one. "You're doing yourself hurt with everybody, and that ain't the part of a friend. What Is there about yourself that you're so stuck on? lou aln t hundsome, I never see a worse knockkneed speciman than you are. I don't see how any girl would want to go to a show with a face like you've got. If you ask me I believe you were lying when you said she was trying to work you." ( "I wouldn't lake that kind o' talk from you if you wasn't an old man." "Yes, you. would. r You mean-If I didn't have this good old hickory cane between my knees. I heard you take worse not so long ago, an' not bat n eye. But I'm Just talklnri friendly to you. I'm trying to show you that you don't deserve all the warm feelin's you're entertaitiin' for your self. You muy be honest, but you're so darn stingy mean it ain't no better than jteullu'. You ain't smart, or you wouldn't brag the way you do and give yourself iway. You ain't even got a good Job, be cause nobody likes you well enough to Ive you one or boost you In any way, shape or manner. It beats me to see people like you goin' around all the time and' huggln' thelrselves when there's such a many better things they might huir. and the end of it's the sane every time. They all wind up by hating themsrlves mighty nigh as bad as they do everybody else. You just go away by yourself somuwheres, son, an' ask yourself the question, 'What am I that I' should try to give myself the best end of it all the time?" T'.ien look around you and see if you can't Kke some one else better." "Shall I start In on you?" asked the long-headed young man, with a grin. "Start In on a yellow pup and -work up," suggested the old man. "I'll tell you, son, and It s for your own good: tbe warmest feelln' most of us can afford to have for ourselves is respect.

Several weeks ago the negro waa admitted to the hospital, and it woe seen that be was suffering from a freak case of aneurism at the arch of the aorta. While thv aneurism might have been caused by many things, the negro gave no history regarding lt. and declared he bad noticed a swelling near the top of his chest only about two mouths pretluus.

It was with the idea of keeping down a, hemorrhage that the needle was run Into the flesh.
