The Senatorial fight North
Carolina is growing hot. At
this writing, from the most
investigation, the situation
seems to be about as follows Sen-
Ransom is a candidate re-
election. He is opposed
M. Waddell. The Mends of Thomas
J. Jarvis are pushing him forward
in the race. Capt. Sid

making a vigorous light for him.
They claim that votes are already

Col. Waddell has surprised the
friends Gov. Jarvis, in their can-

freely admit, that the Colonel has

November. He reaches Washing-

that a canvass of the

are opposed to the Senator's re-
election, and they claim that it is
about certain that he is, point of
fact, already defeated.
In Charlotte, the of
course, is divided between Ransom

is one of the peculiarities of dreams
to seem to tending toward some Btu-
climax, and then to turn away
with utter irrelevance. The dreamer re-
main.-, imperturbable in the face of tho
transformations; if
and even inanimate objects, become
gifted with speech, he is not surprised;
yet he is likely lo startled and terrified
by the most trifling things. If he dreams
of being pursued, it is not by a lion or
tiger, but, perhaps, let us say. by an in-
distinct yellow blur, hovering near tho
ground like a
ably sinister to his from
thickets, and gliding in out among
the tries.
It is what disenchanting to realize
that is one of the prime factors
in dream making. It matters little
whether the conscience clear, if the
digestion be not in equally good case.
Most people experienced the
the supersensitiveness of every
faculty, brought about by a febrile con-

and limb, extending, as one fancies,
even to the loss of gravity the strange,
unfamiliar aspect assumed by well known
objects about the room; for fever, like
indigestion, is a breeder of

Old Custom and the
Clothing Dealer.
It used to l, am mg tho women of a
past generation, a custom to their
clothes by in the same manner that
they did their best
gilt They divided
their furs, laces, brocades
among their nearest kin. and gen-
tho plainer and more worn
things to old family servants or poor re-
But these personal possessions,
with the exception of lace, rarely
bequeathed nowadays. Mrs. John Jacob
Astor kept to the old customs, and I saw
a girl wearing one of lier
sealskin coats last week, having been
specially to her in the will.
Tho usual is that taken I v the
heirs of Mrs. A. T. Stewart, who all
her enormous to in
second hand clothes. Though little was
tail it the time, a good many
society women took occasion to purchase
certain things through dealers,
generally handkerchiefs, stockings, silk
underwear and gloves, which would not
be recognized and which they got very
cheaply.
There is a woman on Fifth avenue who
makes a of buying the ward-
lobes of dead and who is fast
making a fortune out of the bargains she
gets. Most of her customers who
chase goods from her have no idea of the
real secrets of her trade. She is
n dealer in goods and has
certain French and English and
cases into which she packs many of her
goods sells them as new. She will
take the whole the deceased,
new and old, good at. i bad. and then this
goes through a careful process of
The new things, or those nearly
so, which arc imported or

cases and ties them up daintily and dis-
poses of them to rich customers. Many
a time a woman has come to her and

once saw Mrs. See
if you can find them for And tho
dealer has in course of time sent her a
note saying that she has found some-
thing very near what she asked for. In
reality they are Mrs. own,
and the dealer had them all the while.
The gowns that are new or very nearly
new she sells to the dressmakers, who
freshen them up a bit and sell them to
out of town customers.
Then the dealer a list of customers
who are perfectly familiar with the real
nature of her trade. They arc mostly
women who arc struggling to keep their
places in society, with lean purses and a
great desire to keep up appearances.
They keep the run of her place and get
some bargains, because though the things
they buy are somewhat worn, they are
worth the money the good Parisian
cut and style. They buy from black
and inconspicuous gowns that are like
those worn by a dozen other women and
not likely lo recognized, and some-
they have them made over at home
and buy them for the sake of tho good
material in them. There is a third
of the and shabby clothe,
nets, shoes and general longings which
arc sold in a lump to the second hand
dealers in the Bowery. And so all the
pretty frills and fancies of the dear dead
women of our households become scat-
to the far winds, worn by her
friends, her enemies, her servants,
strangers and women whom in life
would have turned her eyes away from
as she passed. There is something very
pathetic, it seems to me. in such dispersal
and use of these most intimate personal
possessions of a lovely women. The old
way was Brooklyn Eagle.

How to Develop
The exercise which I have found of
most value in developing the lungs may
be described as Standing erect
as possible, with shoulders thrown back
and chest forward, the arms hanging
to the body; the head up, with
firmly closed, inhalation is to lie taken
as slowly as may be, at the same time
the extended arms are to lie gradually
raised, the lack of the hands upward,
until they closely approach each other
above head. The movement should
be so regulated that the arms will be ex-
tended directly over the head mo-
tho lungs are completely filled.
The should be maintained from
five to thirty seconds before the reverse
process is begun. As the arms are grad-
lowered the breath is exhaled
slowly, so tho lungs shall be as nearly
freed from breath as possible at the
the arms again reach first position at
the side.
By these movements tho greatest ex-
possible is reached, for upon in-
the weight of the shoulders
pectoral muscles arc lifted, allowing the
thorax to expand fully, while upon ex-
in lowering the arms utilize
the additional force of this pressure
the upper thorax to render expiration
complete as possible. These deep
should be repeated five or six timer,
and the exercise gone through with five
or six times a day. It is hardly
6.1 to remark that the clothing must In
no way interfere with the exercise. In
some cases this exercise is more
when taken lying flat on the
back, instead of standing. this position
the muscles become rapidly
strengthened by opposing the additional
pressure exerted by the abdominal organs
against the expanding lungs. And, on
the other hand, is more per-
and full on account of the pressure
of these organs. This is an exercise now
advocated by several leading vocal teach-
of L. Davis, M. D.

That a Chicagoan dislikes to lose any
time is patent to an observer in any of
the down town restaurants during the
con hour. Almost every second cater
has a paper propped up before him
against a glass or a bottle, and
while he devours his lunch he also de-

down his knife and fork long enough to

resumes the double occupation of reading

missing a news item, and can keep
posted on the affairs of the day without
overlooking an Herald.
