Sighing is popularly believed to take a. drop of blood out. of the heart, each time it is indulged in. This is, of course. a fallacy. Sigh- ing does us a. great deal of good, and is very similar to Yawning. lt, arises from the fact that the mind is much occupied. and the breathing has not been carried on [roporhn One may often hear emotional people sigh after listening to fine music. or after a. moving incident in a play. They have been so intan upon the event. that their breathing has been extremely shallow, and the sigh is a. deep inspiration and a deep expiraâ€" tion to aerate the impure bloodl We cough for several reasons. One is because there is too much fluid in the inflamed bronchial tubes, and it must be got rid off. Another is the breathing of irritating gases. Here, again, a sentinel nerve comes into action. It is called the “su- perior laryngeal nerve," and is disâ€" tributed over the larynx. So long as We breathe pure and wholesome air this nerve remains at ease. But when a whiff of some irritating and poisonous gas gets into the larynx it calls for help. Inspiration is at once stopped, and a forcible exâ€" piration, in the form of a cough, tries to ex-pel the dangerous gas. WHY DO WE YAWN ? This is merely a long inspiration to give oxygen to the blood when the gas is badly wanted. In a badâ€" ly-ventilated and crowdefl room the air, of course, does not contain its usual quantity of oxygen, and the ordinary inspiration is then not sufficient. Likewise, when we are tired and sleepy, or when a prosy speaker wearies us, we yawn deeply. This is because weariness causes the breathing to be very shallow. In fact, whenever we yawn it is a sign that we have taken a step towards death through dyspnoea, or suliocaâ€" tion. This is a. beautiful provision of Nature to drive off injurious par- ticles of dust that would, if left alone, find their Way into the lung tubes. In the lining membrane of the nostril is a little nerveâ€"-a branch of that “fifth” nerve to which we owe all our neuralgia and toothacheâ€"and the moment a parâ€" ticle of irritating (lust intrudes this little sentinel nerve gives the alarm. Thereupon the brain issues orders to a, couple of dozen powerful mus- cles to drive the enemy out. It reâ€" quires some fluid to dislodge him, and this the lungs supply. So long as the particle of dust remains the discharge of artillery will continue. but the moment it. is dislodged the fire ceases. It is an extraordlnul‘y. but real fact, that so long as the dust remains the sentinel nerve will give the brain no rest, but when the dust is gone gives the otder to cease firing. Those everyday little physiological exercises which we go through. such as shivering, sneezing, yawning, cry- ing, coughing, etc., seem nuisances to most of us. But, when their pur- pose is understood it is quite apâ€" parent that we would have an exâ€" ceedingly bad time in their absence. Shivering is defined by the scientâ€" lsts as a series of “irregular fibril- lar contractions." \Ve shiver, of course, when we are cold. but Nu- ture does nothing without a purpose, and the purpose of shivering is to make us Warm. llluscular.contracâ€" tion, in fact, produces heat. and shivering is nothing more than a. violent contraction of all the little fibrils, or strands. of the muscles. If we could keep up the shivering long enough we would burst into a. perspiration. What happens is that the skin says. "Oh, I'm so cold !" and the muscles take pity upon it and shiver to warm it.

In fainting, again, women have the adVamage. Some scientists explain this occurrence by saying it is a. way of shamming death in the presence of danger which has come down to us from our savage ancestors, But more likely it is a provision of Na- tura to relieve the overstrained heart. Some people readily faint at, the sight of blood, and this is evi- dently a means of selfâ€"protection. For if we are losing blood from a wound, the best thing to lessen the flow is a fit of heart Weakness. And a. faint is nothing else that a. fit of extreme heart weakness. IMPERHAL MAPLE SYRUP Why does the mouth water at sight or smell of something nice to eat ? The reason of this is twoâ€"fold. It is, firstly, the getting ready of fluid to moisten the morsel, and allow it to go down easily. And, secondly, it is a. warning to the stomach to be prepared. For when we swallow saliva the glands of the stomach are stimulated to throw out a supply of digestive juices. visions of Nature. When great menâ€" tal pain is suffered, the brain beâ€" comes dangerously full of blood, and crying is a. process by which some of its fluid is removed, and the pres- sure within the brain relieved.
