How to Breathe.
You'h's Companion.
Bad habits of breathing are common
among both the sick and the well. With
many the daily occupation favors a
stooping posture sedentary habits a
combination favoring Jung disease.
Bookkeepers clerks and other indoor
workers must guard against a habit of
short shallow breathing and a chronic
stoop. These indicate infallibly an in-
sufficient txpansion.of the lungs. Rapid
and snallow breathing is strickly unhy-
gienic. It leaves a portion of the
luugs entirely unused and part of the
air in them unchanged.
Deep breathing strengthens and in
creases the muscles of the chest and the
abdomen. The abdominal muscle di-
rectly overlies the intestines and its
motion stimulates the whole digestive
apparatus thus contributing to its
healthful activity.
Persons who occasionally or con tin-
ually suffer from cough should take
pains to cultivate deep breathing. ' Al-
mosv an sucn persons ureatne im-
properly. In many cases lack of lung
power is inherited; in others habit or
occupation plays an unfavorable part;
in not a few instances a fear of (lie
lungs being delicate superduces a habit
of shallow breathing from an erron-
eous idea that the lungs are in this way
favored.
The health of an organ depends large.
Jy upon ihApiflptr exercise otit funct
tions. Diseases of the lungs of a chronic
nature especially are often wholly al.
ways Jpariially chargeable to an un-
hygienic method of breathing. The
patt of the lungs most likely to become
affected with disease is the apex or up-
permost portion. The reason for this
lies in the fact that the part pf the lung
js fully expanded on taking a deep in.
spiralion. In many persons this part
of tho lung is therefore seldom ex-
panded its function is Impaired and U
falls more readily a prey to disease
Tight clothing is especially harmful
about tie neck and shoulders and in
this respect men err as aften as women.
A tightly constricted waist while limit
ir.g free respiration is perhaps not to
harmful to the lungs as to other ad
jacent organs of the body.
HOLD YOUR COTTON.
Only Half a Oropfor Texas
The estimates of this years' cotton
crop in Texas have been growing beau-
tifully less from first to last until now
the yield is ptit down at not more
than half a crop. An Austin special
dated Oct. 4 says:
The commissioners of agriculture it
will be remembered sent out on Au
gust 31 last information showing that
the decrease in the acreage of cotton
planted 'his year in Texs justified the
belief that the present crop would beat
least 27 per cent below that of Jast year
and probably greater. The opinion
entertained by the commissioner at the
time was that unless a decided change
for the in seasons conditions should
speedily insue the reduction of the
crop would be materially increased
In a statement prepared for the press
this afternoon the commissioner says
that since that time a radical change
has occured but instead of improving
the prospect as to production it has
greatly diminished them and it is now
evident that the cotton crop ol 1895
will be decreased to a much greater
degree than his apprehension then
presaged
The continual drouth from Middle
Texas to the coast and the -ravage o
boll and leaf worms in the northern
portion of the state have so seriously
arrested the development and reduced
the fruitage of the plant that he says he
is compelled to believe and feels it his
duty to say that the present crop of
Texas will not exceed 50 per cent of
last year or a total production of
about 1.500000 bales and he serious-
ly doubts if it will reach that amount
Under this condition he earnestly ad.
vises the farmers to market their cot-
on slowly which in his judgment is
always the safest plan. If. he says as
is now reported the crop of 1894 is
now exhausted there is no reason why
this one should not command and
ealize more than 10 cents per pound
by the first day of January next.
Nearly all of the cotton has already
opened he says and from the middle
of the state southward will soon be all
gathered.
When the present rise in price
reached the 8 cent cent mark many of
our farmers made a great rush to mar-
ket their cotton and speculators have
taken advantage of this and are en-
deavoring to. use this increased
amount of cotton thrown suddenly up
on the market as proof of an increase
of production beyond what has been
supposed' and the eagerness of the
farmers to sell at 8 cents as a cause
of reducing the price.
His present estimate is based upon
numerous reports made by practical
farmers in responce to inquiries sent
put by this department and the repoits
fairly represent all sections of the state
being well distributed from Red River
to the coast and from the Sabine
to the extreme cotton growing countries
on the West. They present fairly and
well the true conditions he maintains
and from his own observations and
personal interviews with citizens and
farmers during a recent journey through
a considerable portion of the state he
says he is prepared to agree fully with
them. In conclusion he says from in-
formation received from other states
he is convinced that the total cotton
production qf this country in 1895 will
not be more than 6000000 bales.

BIO CONTRAST IN CIRCUSES.
Tho JTincot Street Parado and tho Host
Performance Ever Soon In San Ber-
nardino. What a difference in circuses!
Wallace's big shows were here yes
terday and it is a good guess that if the
proprietor for the next five years main-
tains the high standard he has set this
season Wallace's show will become the
greatest in America
The gorgeous morning parade was a
true guide to the exhibitions under the
field of tents. Every bedy praised the
procession ol magnificent thoroughbred
horses; the bright and clean costumes;
the rich paraphernalia; the massive
open cages containing zebras tigers
leopards and a collection of the most
majestic lions ever brought to America;
the splendid team of eight black horses
which drew one of the band wagons; the
three 4-horse Roman-chariot teams;
the ponies; the dromedaries and camels
and that dearest sight to a bey's heart
elephants five of them in a row.
' Dr. R. D. Davidson county veteri
nary surgeon in his official capacity
inspected the horses and said enthusi-
asticalh: "This is the finest stock of
horses ever brought to California." He
particularly complimented Mr. Wallace
on the perfect care which had been
daily bestowed on the noblest of the
brute creation.
Comparisons are odious but no one
could help noticing the contrsst be-
tween this clean bright comprehensive
show and the dirty ragged aggrega-
tion which was here three weeks ago
under the vague trade mark "Syndi-
cate.' Yesterday .the visitor did not
have to run the gauntlet of an army of
gamblers and bunco sharps. Consider-
ation was shown to women and chil-
dren and the vast audiences afternoon
and evening felt that everyone con-
nected with the big enterprise was do-
ing all he could to render full value for
the admission fee.
There was none of the hoodlumism
lack of dicipline and public-be d d
features which marked the "Syndicate"
but courtesy at every hand. Mr. Wal-
lace's theory that it pays to be a gen-
tleman in the circus business is sound.
and if further proof were wanted the
crowded and overflowing tents which
have greeted the performances in the
entire length of the coast tarnish it.
Bet the performances. The Sun has
not a column to spare this morning to
dessribe a myriad of athletic and eques
trian acts which filled up without' inter-
mission a delighted two hours' pro.
gramme. Everything was the best.
The racing was so spirited that it exited
genuine enthusiasm and audiences so
well pleased as those which Wallace
dismissed have never before left a cir-
cus tent in San Bernardino. Sun.
Waco Immigration Meeting.
Elsewhere in this issue we publish a
call by President J. W. Riggins for a
meeting.of the Texas Immigration and
Industrial association to be held at
Waco on Oct 15 1895 In connec-
tion with this call Mr. Riggins invites
attention to the fact as was published
in the state papers and his letter at the
time that a movement has been inau-
gurated for the organization of the
publicspirited people of the state into
an association fpr the promotion of
industrial enterprises and the stimula
tion of immigration and the general
development ofTcxas "under (He name
of '(Texas Immigration and Industrial
Association."
The Reporter published Mr Rig-
g'ns' letter with hearty editorial en-
dorsement at the time in which the
nutter was presented to mayors cham.
bcrs of commerce commercial clubs
industrial and agricultural associations
etc.
In reply to this letter says Mr.
Riggins favorable responses and offers
of cooperation have been received
from enough to justify the conclusion
that the organization can be effected
and launched under most favorable
auspices. In order to effect this
President Rigging in his present cal
urges and cordialty requests that every
commercial club municipal industrial
or agricultural organization send not
less than two delegates and as many
ai five if possible to attend the meet-
ing at Waco on the rsh proximo
believing that a united effort of all the
interests of the commonwealth will re-
dound to its good and bring ample
compensation for the time and money
expended in the work
Fiom the list before us we see that
about one hundred favorable responses
have been received to Mr. Riceins
first letter among which however we
fail to see the name of our mayor or
that ol any other delegate from Abilene
or Taylor county.
The importance of Abilene being
properly represented at the above meet-
ing is too apparent to need urging on
our part and we trust therefore that
such action will be taken by our
mayor or city council as to them may
seem expedient and necessary. Cer
tainly at no time heretofore has the
Abilene country with Us splendid crops
and bright prospects for the future
offered such inducements to desirable
immigration and the investment of
capital for the development of its
various resources as now. But what-
ever if anything is done in the premises
must b done quickly as the date o
the Waco meeting is so near at hand
that no time is to be lo&r.
Horse Notes.
H. M. Haskew had to have the great
colt Eagle Pass killed. He was
badly cut on a barb wire about three
weeks since and there was no chance
of his recovery. The loss of a colt-
like Eagle Pass is a serious one to Mr.
Haskew for he gave promise of being
a great horse in the 1:25 class next
year.
R. E. Carter wants to buy for cash
three car loads of good young horses..
Horse breeders having horses to sel
will do well to see Mr. Carter.
James Trammell has sent his chest-
nut filley that Will Waldie is handling
to-Bel ton this week where she starts in.
3:40 trot.
Will King is about to close out 300
head of young horses to Albany-
parties. Seep Water Conference Resolutions.
