It is not | enough to sit in a chair and take a deep ‘breath from time to time; nor can any- one always be taking ful! inspirations, for that requires thought and special effort. We must breathe in the ordi- mary way most of the time, and supple- ment this by certain special exercises at given periods, Any form of exercise properly taken calls for increased respiratory effort, and so may be called a breathing exer- cise; and this applies particularly to rapid walking, which jis the best all- round exercise that it is given to man to indulge in. But we can augment the utility of rapid walking (by which is meant a gait of from three to four miles an hour) by combining with it a spe- cial breathing exercise Many persons, walking in the city, make it a rule to fill the lungs as full as they will hold of air each time they come to a street cro: holding the breath until the farther side of the street is reached. Thi habit to form, but it is not alway Bible to observe the rule while d ing cars, cabs and antomobiles. The t ’ exercise s is an excellent cial hreatbing t before retiring and in the morn wre the bath, Stand- ing upright, v © head thrown back, the mouth and the arms at the | tide, rise ually to the tiptoes, raise the arms slowly to the horizontal po- bition, and keeping them well back of the body, breathe in as deeply as pos- sible; then slowly lower the arms to the side, and come down flat-foot while expelling the breath as fully as pos- sible. Repeat these movements about four times a minute. Begin as before, but do not stop when the arms are hori- zontal. Continue to raise them until they are stretched as high as possible, the hands not being allowed to come to- gether, but kept apart the width of the shoulders or a little more. Continue to inhale until the hands are as high as possible, hold the breath for two or three seconds, then exhale. slowly and fully as the arms are lowered to the side. These exercises and many variations of them grow easy with practice, and if performed night and morning in a well-aired room will increase wonder- Tully the vital capacity, ART OF KEEPING YOUNG. Acquire the Habit of Cheerfulness and Take Plenty of a Fresh Air, : Sunlight has no equivalent. Keep sunshine in the home and in the heart. How very much like delicate plants a human being is. Keep a plant in the dark, and struggle as it will to grow, it will be at best but a puny, sichly weed, says Medical Talk for the Home. The close observer can tell by the countenance if a person is in the habit of saying evil.things or kind things about people. No matter what the re- sults, the person who has formed the questionabie habit of speaking unsind- ly of people, will gradualiy come to pos- sess a cruel, hard expression, which in a short time deepens into fixed ugly lines. Nothing is more conducive to youth and beauty of face than the habit of seeing the best in people and lov- ing it into more loveliness. The thoughts assume a kindly - bent and shaping themselves into kindly words and deeds mold the countenance into beauty and sweetness. The late divine, Rev. Joseph Cook, by experiment and investigation, found that our habits leave scars on the brain. Do we realize that every harsh word our lips utter leaves an unfavorable impression on our brains, which is quickly reflected not only in the face, but in the very move- ments of the body? Nobody can hurt anyone by cruel remarks as he hurts himself. Fresh air is a free gift, and yet some people take of it as though it were more expensive than the Alaskan gold. It is necessary to the clear brain, well-round- ed form and grace of movement, There is a close relation between the shallow- breathing lunes and the mean-thinking mind. Practice deep breathing until you can count 75 alond in one ‘breath, Then notice the improvement in your appearance and thonchts. Sinking of Rev. Blank. Down in a Virginia town the aged pastor of one of the churches fell ill not long ago. He was beloved by all the neighborhood, and a_ constant stream of anxious friends rang the bell to make inquiries. The nurse in charge was an intellig@nt negro wom- an, and she decided to issue bulletins at frequent intervals. She wrote them herself and pinned them to the front door, and this is the way they read as they appeared successively: “Rev Blank am very sick.” “Later—Rev. Blank am worse.” “Night—Rev. Blank am sinking.” “Morning—Rev. Blank have sunk.” —Washington Post. Crabs, Creole.

CYCLISTS’ SUPERSTITIONS. There Are Wheelmen Who Have Queer Notions Which Control Them in Their Journeys. Cycling superstition as a special end jaltogether distinct form of supersti-| henefits of reciprocal tion is a recognized fact of the roaa. Naturally, says a London paper, there are many ridiculous beliefs with which men and women are afflicted that they cary into cycling with them, such as the wearing of some lucky |pocket piece or charm. One man, for instance, carries a Chinese coin and a withered horse chestnut. If he omits | transferring—either—-to- the pockets of his riding clothes he meets with an ac- cident and he blames the omission. If it is the piece of money that he forgets it is a trivial mishap, he’says, but if it is the 1888 horse chestnut he is lia- ble to have a smash-up and get hurt himself. Such notions are not, however, dis- tinctive as cycling Superstition. They were born in the mind of their victims before they ever rode a machine. There are some svperstitions, those that are peculiar to cyclists, One of the most common is that about turning round. The taught rider always, and the average rider usually, prefers a turn to the left. In their neophyte days most rid- ers have met with a fall because of at- tempting to turn to the right, and this has led many into a fearful state of mind that makes them prefer to dis- mount rather than risk turning that way. The consequence in that the superst! tion about turning round is not only the most common, but also the most dangerous. There have been many mishaps on the road due to the inabili- jy of a rider to wheel right about, or his obstinacy in trying to wheel about There is a rider who will not pump his tires before going out, believing that if they have not remained hard it presages misfortune, and there are said to be others who entertain similar sentiments concerning filling a lamp and oiling bearings. This class of rider thinks that if he has neglected to have his bicycle in perfect condi- tion for an immediate mount he should not venture forth. It is a common notion which just about classes with a superstition that the only way to start on atrip is to conceive the idea suddenly, grab one’s machine, and mount it without exam- ining any part. So many pleasurable times have been experienced following impromptu starts of this kind that hundreds believe any other kind of a start to be umucky, A stout officer of an aristocratic London club knows that every time he wears a certain shirt he is bound to get a puncture, and some of his club mates tell a story about his having missed an important club run because this puncture-causing shirt was the only one wearable. One man who assumes to be a philos- opher, says that he is not superstitious, and especially innocent of the old country superstition about crossing a funeral, but he admits that he al ways waits until one passes, just out of respect for the circumstances, Then he tells with grave earnestness a story that details how he rode along Blank street and encountered “a funeral cortege” that was . crossing Dank street. He slowed down and questioned himself concerning whether or not he should cross it, While he was deliberating two other cyclists traveling in opposite direc: tions attempted to cross between the carriages. They collided and fell, and one was struck by the hoofs of a fu neral coach horse and severely hurt. This happening he thinks justified by the deference that is not superstition. Somnoform, a New Anesthetic. At a recent medical exhibition in London a new anaesthetic, called som- noform, was shown. It is a liquid whose boiling point is 23 degrees be- low zero. The moment it comes in contact with the air it becomes a gas. The exhibitor broke a glass capSule of somnoform to illustrate its char- acter, As soon as the glass was chipped there was a rush of what looked like steam, and seven pence worth of somnoform was loose in the Queen's hall trying to asphyxiate the exhibitors. Its great virtue, from a medical point of view, is that breath- ing stops before the heart when it is administered. — Philadelphia In- quirer. Policeman’s Pistols.

MARKETS NOW NEEDED. Igy my address to the Notification | Committee I said that tariff reform “is | demanded by the best interests of both ‘manufacturer and consumer.” With equal truth it can be said that the trade treaties | would enure to both. That the con- ; Sumer would be-helped is unquestion- able. That the manufacturer would | receive great benefit by extending his markets abroad hardly needs demon- stration. His productive capacity has outgrown the home market. The very term “Home Market,” has changed if its significance. Once, from the manu- facturers’ point of view, it.meant ex- of our manufacturing industries has far exceeded the consumptive capacity of our domestic markets, and the term “Home Market” implies contraction, rather than expansion, If we would run our mills to their full capacity, thus giving steady employment to our workmen and securing to them and to the manufacturer the profits accruing from increased production, other mar- kets must be found. Furthermore, when our manufacturers are dependent on raw materials in whole or part im- ported, it is vital to the extension of their markets abroad that they secure their materials on the most favorable terms. The persistent refusal of the Repub- Mean majority in the Federal Senate to ratify the reciprocity treaties negoti- ated in pursuance of the policy advo- cated alike by Mr. Blaine and Mr. Me- Kinley, and expressly sanctioned in the fourth section of the Dingley act, is a discouraging exhibition of bad faith. As already mentioned by me, the ex- orbitant duty imposed on many an im- ported article by the Dingley Tariff was avowedly intended by its author not to be permanent, but to serve tem- porarily as a marimum, from which the Federal Government was empow- ered to offer a reduction, in return for an equivalent concession on the part of a foreign country, President Mc- Kinley undertook honestly to carry out the purpose of this section of the act. A number of reciprocity agreements were negotiated within the prescribed limit of two years, which, if ratified, would: have had the two-fold result of cheapening many imported products for American consumers, and of open- ing and enlarging foretgn markets to American producers, Not one of those agreements has met with the approval of the Republican masters of the Sen- ate. Indeed, they did not even permit their consideration. In view of the at- titude of the present Executive, no new agreement under the general Treaty power need be expected from him. Nor does the Republican platform contain a favorable reference to one of the suspended treaties. This section of the Dingley act stands forth as a monu- ment of legislative cozenage and po- litical bad faith. NO TYRANNY OVER: OTHER PEOPLES. If independence, such as the Cubans enjoy, cannot be prudently granted to the Filipinos at this time the promise that it shall come the moment they are capable of receiving it will tend to stimulate rather than hinder their de- velopment. And this should be done not only in justice to the Filipinos, but to preserve our own rights; for a free people cannot withhold freedom from another people and themselves remain free. The toleration of tyranny over others will soon breed contempt for freedom and self-government, and weaken our power of resistance to in- sidjous usurpation of our constitutional rights. USURPATION IN PENSION ORDER. The war closed nearly forty years ago. In the meanume many of our soldiers and saijors long surv:ved the age of sixty-two, and passed away without receiving any pension, Skill- ful pension attorneys hunting through the statute fafled to tind there a pro- vision giving’a pension to ail who had reached sixty-two. Many prominent veterans urged the justice of congres- sional action giving a service pension to all veterans. Jills to that effect were introduced in Congress. And not until March of this year did any one ever claim to have made the discovery that the President hac power to treat the statute as if it read that when a claimant had passed the age of sixty- two years he is necessarily disabled one-half in ability to perform manual labor and theretore entitled to a pen- sion. The President of the Civil Service Commission, General John C. Black, formerly Commissioner of Pensions and Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, indicated his view of ‘the order when in a recent jaddress he thanked the President for what he had done, and advised his hearers to use their influence that a LAW might be passed to the same. effect. Full confidence after all seems not to have been placed on the defense of justification, for it is pleaded in mitigation that a former Democratic President did something looking in that direction. Even if that were so— which is not~admitted—our present duty would be none the less plain and imperative. Our people must never tolerate the citation of one act of usurpation of power as an excuse for ancther. The first may possibly be due to mistake; the second, being based on the first, cannot be. In ex- planation, however, it should be said that the, order relied on simply pro- vided that the age of seventy-five years should he regarded as evidence of in- ability to perform manual labor. Few men are able to perform manual labor at that age, but nearly all men are at sixty-two. The first order is based on a fact that experience teaches, the other is based on the assertion of ‘that which is not true as a general rule.

THE POST-OFFICE FRAUDS. Most-of- the indicted —post-offiee grafters are likely to escape punish- ment, for the Administration is evi- dently Very loath to push the prosecu- tion against them. Tyner and Bar- rett were acquitted. Beavers and Machen are out On bail, and the other cases are resting from one cause or another. There is a growing convic- tion that many of these cases will never be pushed to trial, for the evi- dence that might be produced would implicate others higher in the Repub- lican councils, and that would be dis- astrous to the Administration. The fact that the Republican majority of Congress refused to allow an impar- tial investigation is pretty strong proof that they know that much more was behind the scenes that would be uncovered, The claim in the Repub- lican platform and by Mr. Roosevelt in his speech of acceptance, that the thieves had been routed out and pun- ished is therefore bombastic talk ‘for political effect. Turn the rascals out. There is no one thing that the thoughtful voter should investigate so closely as the government expendi- tures and receipts. Tha Roosevelt ad- ministration and the Republican Con- gress seem perfectly reckless about how the taxpayers’ money is expend- ed. While under the last year of the last Democratic administration the Army and Navy cost $52,000,000, the present expenditures for those pur- poses are costing $217,000,000. With a growing deficit in the reve- nues of the government, and the ap- propriations larger than ever before in time of peace, the taxpayers must look forward to either a return to the war taxes, or enforced economy. Un- der the present administration the ex- penditures for the army’and navy alone are $135,000,000 greater than for the last year of the Clefeland admini- stration, and other Departments are run on about the same extravagant calibre. More taxes or economy in expenditures will soon be imperative. While the appropriations for pen- sions were $13,221,000 less and the ex- penditures for Rivers and Harbors $8,643,000 less under Roosevelt for the |, fiscal year beginning July 1, 1904, than under Cleveland in 1894-’5, the appropriations for actual warlike pur- poses were $183,569,000 greater. On the whole, Roosevelt's administration has been nearly twice as expensive as Cleveland's, and the increase has been due nearly all to militarism. The Republicans have nominated John C. Cutler, the Mormon with five wives, as their candidate for Governor of Utah, and Senator Smoot, one of the twelve apostles, was “an open and active supporter of Mr. Cutler,” which is further evidence of the alliance of the Republican party with the Mor- mon Church. And yet, some people will not believe that a compact has been entered into between the Repub- lican leaders and the Mormon hier- archy to deliver the electoral vote of Utah for Roosevelt in exchange for support in seating Smoot as Senator, and, from appearances, Cutler for Governor. That will make the Mor- mons quite powerful politically, and the propaganda for polygamy can gd gayly on, . GOOD for OLD and YOUNG August Flower keeps the children healthy and frotic the whole 1!
