B. C at the - r FRESH AIR By Jladnmo Qnlvilln. It is a curious fuel that so ninny people will know the truth ,pf a theory yet ro on practicing a fault hrouphout their wholo lives. Nine tontlts of humanity breathe as little air as if it wore tho costliest, instead of'lhe freest,' thinjr iu life, anil actu ally shun frofch air as if thoy thought it puSon. l'uro frosh air is the source of Ml life and stroiiRtli. The want of it stagnates the jilood and every one knows that to rebroathe tho air jut expelled is to swallow so much deadly poison. Womon stay in their houses so muclr that are not properly ven tilated, that the blood becomes starved for oxygen. Thoir complexions be come sallow and brown looking, the eyes blurred and the brain dulled and t heir " cry souls become stifled for the want of fresh air. IThc so called normal breathing ha nlwavs been a grave error. Normal breathing only half fills the lung-, ncithor does it give them the necon- t snry exercise required for their de- J vulopmont, nor does it supply the blol wilh suffioient oxygon to purify it. The remedy for the evil is in con scious breathing-, oxcrchung the lungs .by slow, deep and thorough move ments. Every man, woman and child should, both night and morning, gie a fow minutes' attention to hronthiiu; oxoruifcos iu the fro-Jtetit air. It i iinposniblo to "take cold" while breathing deeply. The blopd is too active to feol any chill. pno of tho host exorcises now given is this: Bring the arms out straight forward, (ouchin tips of fingers. In balo slowly and deeply, counting eight, nnd at the same time bring tho arms buck level with boulders aud lotting them fall, exhaling forcibly. Alternsito thu fall of the anus, with forceful and slow exhalations. A splendid, vigorous exercise is dono by placing the jmlnus of the bunds on the chest, inhale till the chest and diaphragm scum full, then hold the breath, vigorously palling the client whilo counting eight, then exhale forcibly. The (M)iinliiig should be as ponjlivo ami rogular a tho bent of a heavy hummer. The standing ppsition you should take at all tiniue, fjr oxercie or otlww'twI will sjqle in those fow words iiuj T will ask you to repeat litem -ot cry timo you fetnnd: Lift the chust and throw out tho ojiIvoh of your h'Ks. This throws (lie wholo diaphragm in position and will give you what thu strnUjbt front corset is trying to force upon you. Thirteen hundred years boforo Christ the people of India practiced full, deep breathing at regular inter vals, daily, using it as a houling renf edy for dloaso, and it was no sccrot to tho old Greek and Itomnn physi cians, who also prescribed lung gym nastics to effect euros. The Brah mins and Yogis have always under stood tho valuo of deep breathing and it is by menus of a mysterious power of storing ((j0 Ijrcah, laying ur a re servo of oxygon nnd elhor that the Vogig aro enabled to exhibit their bouimiigjy miraculous fa(a.

Groaning for oentnrios henenth the nionnrohinl yoke, hotbed of n bloody revolution that changed the cur rent of civilization, alternately victim of petty tyrant and h.ilf-bnkod communism,, Kranee, though become the land oi license, is still tar from being the land oC liberty. Conditions in France as thoy appear to a Frenchman are described in the current number ol the Chicago rub le by (torrges Daricn, editor of a Parisian publication. Among other interesting remarks, Al. Darien says: France is nominally a republic: but that republic is, iu fact, nothing else but an autocracy of vested interests. Parliament is filled with defenders of privilege and hire lings of monopoly.. The nation at largo has been oin bruted by a deeply calculated system of materialistic odiu cation; immorality of every kind has been, on purpose, cultivated as a fine art; the entire press is sold or to be sold; and every care is taken in order that no news as to tho real progress of other nations may filter through the density of official teaching. Meanwhile, taxes grow incessantly, tho needs of the state apparently going up with tho financial difficulties; tlio process not being carried on without much rhetorical talk in the chambers. Practically everything is taxed, mainly the necessar ies of life. State monopolies (matches, tobacco, among other things), sell infamous goQds at. fancy prices. A fine is put upon attempts at hygienic improvements, in the shape of a tax on doors and windows. Another fine is placed upon attempts at enjoyment, in the shape of a tax of 10 per cent, topping the value of theater tickets. The antiquated poll-tax has not aged in France; it is still in the prime of vigor, and qlaims but 9 francs from every citi zen per year- As a matter of fact there is no equality in Franco so far as taxation is concerned. Protectionism produces its baneful effects; unemploy ment is rife. The public debt increases; all told, it iroes up to 00 milliards of francs; of course, the sinking fund has been sunk. The cost ,of living is rising, the population decreases, and poverty and corruption, under all their forms, gnaw at the heart of the nation. Everywhere there is decay? material and moral. It is utterly impossible for France to exist in 10 years from now, if she docs not mend her ways., , And this would mean practically an upheaval. The French, np to the neck in the slough of political imbecil ity, have not, as a rule, tho slightest idea of a life differ ent to theirs. They know that they suffer; but they do not even suppose that means have ever been discovered of allaying those sufferings. As a matter of fact, the French, who boast of their having freed the world, do not suspect what sort of thing freedom ma' be; they understand it neither for their noighbors nor for themselves. Every man is begging for special rights, every class clamoring for privileges. The dream of the average French citizen is to become a state official" in order to make a show of authority, and to tie a ribbon at his button-hole in order to make a show of superiority. As for women, tliey hare no rights whatever. Girls without a dowry are practically debarred from marriage. Thrift, practiced as it is in the teeth of dire penury, has become a national' calamity; enterprise at home finds no encouragement and no capital. Law in its worst forms maps out beforehand the life of every Frenchman, and even at the point of death the unfortunate Gaul is not released irqin its grasp, for the code gives him strict orders about his will, and forbids him to dispose freely of his own. , The governing bodies, wholly innocent of the ijjost elementary knowledge in political and social economy, and deep in the pay of vested interests, have no remedies to offer, save worn-out shams, spurious panaceas which have been tried elsewhere long ago and found wanting. Practically the whole of taxation is indirect; which leads to sophistication on the one hand, and to official squandering of public money op the othdr. ' So-calpd so cial laws, continually enacted under the pretense ol help ing the poor and which have no other effect than to aug ment the frightful number of rTacks-in-offic,o add to the financial entanglement. Centralization has been carried to its extreme length. Local government exists nowhere, even the smallest mu nicipalities living under the club of the representative of the central power. The legislature is elected jn the most trumped-up fashion every four years, and, wilh the exception of the fortnight during which the elections take place, the electorate is unable to utter a word; it has no control whatever upon the acts of its representatives. There is not even the shadow of initiative and referendum. Notice, it is the legislature which nominates the executive power making thereby, of the president of the republic, its most grateful and-obediefit tool; and it is also the legis lature which designates the ministers, the holders of any great office in the slate. The .legislature being hold in golden bondage by monopoly and privilege, the conse quences can easily be drawn, Furthermore, the facti must not be overlooked that France is over-ridden by secret societies, the goal of which, although not very clear, is certainly to uphold the condi tions, social and political, now obtaining; and which count among their members the very great majority of the offi cial people. These seeret societies, of which Free-Masonry is the foremost, have the upper hand everywhere; they form a kind of tie between th6 many vested interests, and thoy are up ip arms against any new idea concerning political economy being brought to the notice of the French poop e. Thoy permeate the whole press, They have established a permanent and ubiquitous system of spying, mid they stick at nothing iu order to ia'cn un broken the ignoble spell which they have thrown over France. ' a The so-called republican party, now still in power, be came tho victor after tho disasters of 1870-71, and' has since lived on the spoils. Tho opposition is formed by so cialism on one hand, and by the old dynastic parties on the other. French socialism has no idea, no system, cannot indi cate either a practical way or a definite goak It is a mix ture of all kinds of blind discontents, rolled into a lump, aud wrapped up iu the stuff which dreams aro made of. Orthodox socialism is weakened by the attacks of anar chism, and b tho onslaughts of syndicalism which reduces the whole social question to a rise iu wagesand which contrives, naturally, to bring about n rise in the cost 'of living at largo. As for the old dvimstie parties, thoy are fretting away in the sorry rags of their worm-eaten traditions. An em peror I a king! Such titles may have had a meaning in days gone by; but now, what significance do they carry? It is not an empty formula that is wanted, but a clear, logical idea ot tar-ronclung economic relorm such an illuminating social philosophy as that which the Physio crats brought out in the middle of the 18th century.

Tho Richmond Smudgo Oil aud tho Slop Distillate aro very much alike, there being loft In both oils but a very tttnall quantity of iiHplmltuin nmi noma minora! substance. They aro as easily handled as water anil may bo pumped at any temperature with Oane. Naturally, belnir rentdunl oils, their tests tiro not constant any more than Is the crude oil test. They may vary all tho way from thsee to four dcKrecs Ueauiue. The coat for handling them, however. Is actually one-third lout over that of crude oil, which Is almost Impossible to pump or handle at low temperature. In tho orchards the added cost for handling the crude oil over that of tho lighter distillates Is no small amount. Tho Stove- Distillate, an will b seen by tho table, is a very light oil. In color It has a light brown appear ance, and. so far as handling Is concerned, no more difficulty would bo experienced than with kerosene. It burns very nltely aud leavtm absolutely no residuum. Apparently all tho nsphaltuiu has been removed. At another place In this paper wo will consider tho matter of cost In thu usu of the different oils. Tho object In making tho teats was not to heat any given area ot an orchard, but rather to nolo Juet what took ptaro when the above fuel oils were burned In thu various types of smudgo pols. Previous bulletins and papors published by this office give the results of orchard heating tests. Wo did not use nil of the patented appll.tuccn on thu market, as .many of them are so wholly nut of the question that their use would not be worth tho time used In testing them. We used a sufficient number of tlit most promising types, nnd In most cases ten burnings were made with each type. Therefore, each jiot was burned a greater number of tlniea In tho tost than It would have been burned under actual conditions during the season of spring frosts. During tho tlmo that the tests wore being carried on the atmospheric temperature remained belweon 30 degrees nnd 33 degrees P.; In fact, not far from tho actual temperatures experi enced during tho frost period. Tlio testa were carried on during tho Slay with the air tumuli still or with a .movement of not moro than otto or two miles perjiour. In other words, tho conditions wore so nearly llko those during tho spring when low tomperatureK aro experienced that they may bo considered so for all practical purposes. in meaiurlng tho olln for burning, a carefully checked standard gallon measure was used; also, a delicate postal scales which registered accurately to a small fraction 'f " ounce. Tho measuring of tho oil was both by wolght nnd volume, and all measurements wcro doubly checked. In carrying on tho work, representatives of tho oil companies, as well as agontH of snuidgo pot makers, were present. A largo number of locnl people saw tho; work of testing, nnd wo feel certain that thoro was o posslblo chance for erroV since tlyi fuels and tho orchard heaters wero madu to "speak for themselves." Orchard llealern Tented. Tho following types of orchard bonier wero used In tho tcstH. They wero oarofully wolghed boforo being filled with oil for tests. The lard pail boaters wore simply common ten-pound lard palls, .which wero pur chased from tho Rex Moat Mnrket, Medford. Oregon, und cost about 3.fi conta nploce. It may ho stated that there are slight differences In tho weights of pots of tho same typo, duo to tho variation In thickness of tho shoot metal. ;in each test, however, tho nctual weight of tho pot was taken.
