6 THE SCElTON TRIBUNE SATTJRDAY MOKNTXa, OCTOBER 20, 1894. JLiv?Iy Incidents fl(ross the Pond (ntcrestinfl News Letter from Our Lon don Correspondent. KAR-KUMOKS CAl'Sfi TROUBLE Vrightful Train M rcek in a For Trip to Chiautonn Not n Success .Warrlugc of an Actress of by Cone Days. Americans Lunch With Cabby. London, Oct. C. The sudden summonHliiR of a cabinet council two or three dayu back caused quite a sensation in London, and in fact, throughout England. The evening pa pers found out Its object nt once! The relations between England and France were strained, the French were block ading all the ports of Madagascar, und the council was called to take active measures anlnst Its near lielKhbur. These alarming reports had their im mediate effect on the Stock exchange, and many brokers are now biting their lingers in vexation. As a mntter of fnct France and Madagascar were never mentioned at the meeting, the sole ob ject being to cope effectively with the serious position Englishmen are placed in at Pekin and other assailable ports and towns In the disturbed districts. The absence of Sir. William Harcourt, Mr. Campbell Bannerman, Mr, Fowler and Mr. nryce, was in itself sufficient to prove that the object of the council's meeting was not of a vastly serious na ture; as Sir William as lender of the lower house and Mr. Bannerman as rep resenting the wnr office would both have had to be present if tiny rupture with France was contemplated. Jt Is understood that troops will not be sent In any numbers, although the naval force will be increased. Should any emergency arise the Urltlsh lleet in China will be re-lnforced from the Tn dian station at very short notice. The council did not consider that any Immediate danger was to be feared with regard to Englishmen in China, but the general feeling in the city is thut the t'htnesenregradualy getting themselves In a. close coiner. Undoubtedly, the Japanese carry our sympathies with them, the innny horrible tales of John Chinaman's Bavagery and brutal treat ment of inoffensive foreigners putting ling them altogether into bad odor. Four men-of-war are already nt the service of Vice Admiral the Hon. Sir Edmund It. Freemantle. commander-in-chief of the Chinese station. One of the four is the St. George, a 2u-knot boat of 7,350 tons, which should prove a valua ble addition to the twenty war bonts already in the troubled waters of China. Great consternation was felt through out London when the news came that the Scotch express had met with a ter riblo accident. It was generally be lieved that Lord Itoseberv was travel ing by the train to attend the council meeting. Hasty telegrums brought re lief. The accident, though a serious and fatal one, was in no wise as bad as re ported, and Lord Kosebery had left Edinburgh by an earlier train, but Mr. Arnold Morley and Lord Tweedmouth, two other cabinet ministers, were pas sengers, as was also Lord Hlndllp, the deputy chairman of the company. The train was going at a high rate of speed and u drifting fog was hanging about when the thirteen or fourteen cars, drawn by two engines, dnshed into the rear part of a goods train. The result was terrible. The front engine was turned completely over and the tender was dashed on top of it: the second en gine was thrown on its side and with the guard's van was badly smashed. It was undoubtedly the composite car and the Pullman hat saved the whole train, as the Pullman, beyond having the front part stove In, wus not much dam aged. The wonderful part of llie whole affair was that beyond the unfortunate drivers one of whom has succumbed and the fireman, no one else seems to have received any injuries beside severe bruises. The signals are stated to have been against the driver, but were evi dently mistaken in the fog, A railway ncoldent with real live cabi net councllmen in the train, und a sud den cabinet meeting of a mysterious character, make up excitement enough in one week for any ordinary city. Hut then London is no ordinary place and it worked Itself up to a frenzied pitch over yet another incident. -This was the elec tion of a lord mayor for the coming year. Tlie senior alderman, Sir Joseph Kenals, was strongly opposed by Mr. Yandel Phillips. Sir Joseph Is a man of very Liberal views and Incurred h lot of feel ing of an ill-natured order by strongly defending a previous lord mayor, who was attacked by a Conservative as sembly of aldermen, because he hap pened to be a Roman Catholic. Mr. Phillips had a strong following and was In the desperate position that unless he wot) made lord mayor this yftir, he had no chance in the future. After some energetic voting Kenals came out on top and the city magnates hurried off to their various suburban homes. Mr. Iloyt'g piece, "A Trip to China town," has not taken at all success fully In London. As a mater of fact, these "variety" pieces have been very much overdone. The principle part was taken by Mr. R. O. Knowles, who Is tetter known in our music halls ns "a very eccentric American comedian." A Mrs. Anna Ruppert, who is better known as a vender of powders, etc., to beautify the complexion, has had the temerity to appear ns Odette, a version of M. Sardou's great play . The whole affair Is neatly Riimtnud up by a pithy critic. "Mrs. Anna Ruppert hus appeared as Odette we wish she hadn't!" The only theatrical event of the week of any importance was the production at the Criterion by Mr. Wyndham of a new play by the great little and only Arthur Henry Jones, called "The Case of Rebellious Susan." The piece Is practically without plot and relies solely on the acting and an extremely witty dialogue. Mr. Wynd ham, with the part of a managing and cynical middle-aged gentleman who sets everything and everybody in order, hus a task after his own heart. The piece was well received and will no doubt find Its way out to America shortly. Much surprise has been occasioned by the news of Mrs. Stirling's murrlage to Sir Charles Hutton Gregory, K. C. M. O. The bridegroom has seen 77 birthdays and the blushing bride has celebrated even more! She was a great favorite in Macready's day and acted with the tragedian for three years, taking the leading parts. Of late years she has appeared on several oc casions as the nurse In "Romeo and Juliet," notably in conjunction with Miss Mary Anderson. Lady Hutton is a brilliant conversationalist and unttcs in the best society. Well, well we all show our madness In different ways, and In her case once bitten has not been twice sly. A royal commission hns been consid ering the best means of governing the city of London. At present the duties are divided insomuch that the "old city" which comprises the business part of the town Is ruled by the aldermen more or lesB, while the outlying port is guarded by the county council. The commis sion advises a city council to govern the whole of London, to elect alder men and mayor by popular vote and to take possession of the mansion house and the guild hall. The recom mendations are popular and will give the average Londoner a much larger voice In the management of their city, a thing much to be desired. The scheme provides various local bodies to exercise functions restricted to their localities, and recommends a triennial elections of councllmen to the central body. , When that late and wild sprig of no- J i bllity, the Duke of Ailesbury, passed away, a number of the family heir looms were missed. They have now been found and many of "Bill's" friends could have guessed where the same would be discovered. The neces sitous young man had offtlmes boasted to his "pals" about "spouting the fam ily pewter," the said pewter being vari ous costly articles of silver plate and pictures. He was a man of his word and the family have had to pay a con siderable amount to bring the aforesaid "pewter" down the spout again. 'Tis an ill wind that blows nobody good and mine uncle of the three brass bulls has benefited muchly. Sportsmen who devote any nttentlon to the art of boxing are much disgusted at Corbett's conduct with regard to the proposed match with Fltzsimmons. It dots not sound "game," and, after all, Corbett hus not done anything much yet to authorize Ids holding 'is 'orty 'ed so 'igh. Beating a played-out boxer us Sullivan wus an overrated boaster like Mitchell, are not enough to entitle a man to call himself champion. But let him whip Jackson and Fltzslmmons and nobody would then deny that he was champion of chumpious. Jn the world of boxing, success nowadays seems to ruin a man and newspaper talk takes the pluce of deeds of "derring do." Where do nil the Americans come from? Is a natural question to ask after visiting the London hotels, for they are one and all full of our transatlantic cousins. Two New York merchants had a strange experience the other night. They arrived at Southampton aboard the Paris quite late and reached the Hotel Metropole in London ut 1 o'clock a. m. They were very hungry ufter their journey, and could, strangely enough, get nothing to eat at the hotel, so sallied forth to lind a friendly restaur ant. But no! in London no such place is to be found open after VI o'clock, and after wandering disconsolately about were returning with empty stomachs and loose waistcoats when they passed a box set up by ti cnb stand, a light was shining from the door and u smell of coffee tickled their noses. It was a cab man's shelter and their minds were made up. The door was pushed open, and in the compuny of the cabmen they partook of coffee and bacon and bread and butter. Due cabman asked them It they knew a Mrs. Somebody or other living in Hamilton, but could not be made to understand the difference be tween that place and New York. The keeper of thut stall will remember his American visitors for some timetocome, as they considered their welcome repast worth a piece of gold. The eldest son of the duke of Cam bridge was out shooting with pa and other big guns the other day when ho had a bigger bag than he anticipated. He shot several pheasants and two gamekeepers. He saw, as he thought, some birds rising from the undergrowth and banged away In a haphazard man ner. Howies and groans followed the discharge and the alarmed party ran up and found the two poor fellows writhing in agony on the ground and plentifully perforated with small shot. One man was taken to the hospital in a serious condition and sportsmen are disgusted at Colonel Fltzgeorge's ig norance of shooting etiquette. It is still fresh in the memory of the people that kindly Prince Christian lost an eye owing to an accident by the duke of Connought. It was a mistake, certainly but even royalty should be careful. Mr. J. McNeill Whistler Is a bump tious little man; he Is ulso terribly of fended with .Mr. l)u Marnier, for as he states taking him off in the tale "Trilby" that has appeared in Har pers. An apology has been published In the dally papers from Messrs. Har per & lire, which Is very gentlemanly and nice, but Whistler doesnot meet with very much sympathy this side he Is too well eccentric! WILLIS. HERMIT OF SAX CLF.MEXTE. The Only Inhabitant of an Island i0 Allies off the California Coast. From the San Francisco Chronicle. San Ciemente island, which lies sixty miles west one-half south of Point Lo ma lighthouse on the southern coast of California, is eighteen miles and a half long, with an average width of two and one-half miles, and an urea of fifty-one and one-half square miles. It Is a lone some spot, suggestive of Spanish buc caneers and pirates generally. It rears Its ugly head of black plutontc rock nearly 2,000 feet above the sea level, and In the deep gulches treasures a few sumac trees as a miser guards his gold. Cactus abounds. Natural water tunks In the rock are found on the edges of the plateaus. They were worn by rocks whirled around lit holes during heavy rainfalls. The water In these tanks has saved the lives of many a thirsty mariner who has put in there for a supply of the life-giving fluid. It was here that Cabrlllo landed in Oc tober, 1542, after discovering San Diego harbor. He named the Island La Vic toria, after one of his smaller ships, the present name having been given a cen tury later. There Is but one human being on San Ciemente, the hermit herder, Tom Gal lagher. Tom is a character with a his tory. His shaggy head and beard and curious attire give hlin the look of a savage, but Tom is very much of a white man in his heart, even though he has lived alone with his sheep for over twenty yearn. Occasionally a strag gling junk seeking abalone, or now and then a fisherman, stops in the cove of Sun Ciemente, brings Tom the news, and furnishes him with supplies. To loosen Tom's tongue the explorei must have handy a chew of tobacco and a drink of whisky. He has a fa vorite water tank somewhere, but he never tells Its location. Whisky Is a novelty to this hermit, but It never causes him to forget himself sufficient ly to reveal the details of his mainland life. He wos a llsherman somewhera between San Diego and Monterey Hay. He had good prospects, but one day he took it into his head to live alone on San Ciemente. That is about all Tom will say of himself. There are people who claim to know Tom's history, and it is a romantic Btory, they say, with a love affair in it, of course. The woman jilted him, and he Bought the island cloister. Tom lives in a comfortable hut, with a vegetable patch, chickens, a goat, and his sheep. Ills is a regular Hobinson Crusoe outllt, except that there is no man Friday to serve him. This lord of San Ciemente does not want servants. He simply wants to be let alone, with only his ani mals and his gun for companions. Odd Fellow Commundments.

Pile on the logs! the bright flumes start, And up the roaring chimney race; How grateful should we be, sweetheart. For just this littlo fireplace!

Lean, golden hend, upon my breast In wealth of womlrouB beauty which Hath crowned my life und made mo blest, And kiss me, dear, and muke me rich! Frank L. fcUunion. Miisic Pays When One Is Handsome Appearance Rather Than Merit is Often the Signal for Success. CASE OP LILLIAN KUSSCLL Not .Many Years Ago She Was an Impecu nious Chorus Girl at Tony Pustor's; Now She Is a Kegnlur Flnun. ciul Princess of Song. Mio says music doesn't pay? Look at Lillian Russell If we may mention her in the same breath with music. When she sang for Tony Pastor she re ceived $26 a week. James C. Duff offered her $300 a week and she took it until the Casino made it $500. T. Henry French, who Just about that time want ed to drop in the Garden theater, New York, some of the large profits of his ancestral play-publishers, gave the fair Lillian $S00. This sufliced to keep her vocal highness out of the poor house un til Canary & Lederer tleorge Lederer, formerly of Wilkes-Barre; you know him. of course you do raised the limit to a round thousand. Last of all, Ab bey, Schoefel & Grau have made a con tract with her at $1,500 a week. "Dur ing this entire period of fourteen yeurs Lillian Russell," according to one au thority, "has constantly increased net salary, her popularity and her art. Nor Is It to be assumed that she intends to Btop at the plane which she hns now reached. Her desire to be free from the Casino contract was Inspired by the wish to get under the direction of our grand opera impresari. Lillian Russell is a woman of tremendous ambition. The populaiMmpression that she spends her leisure in drinking champagne, playing poker and looking out for an other husbund Is amusingly erroneous. There Is no person in the musical world who works harder than Miss Russell. Soon after breakfast she Is at her music teacher's house, where she slugs until luncheon time. A short siesta follows that meal, and presently her carriage is at the singing teacher's door again for another urduous lesson. Through out her London engagement Miss Rus sell hns been studying assiduously der the best English Instructors." Very good; but Is she worth $l,fj0 a week on her merits'.' !! :i H The event to which the music lovers look forward wth the greatest interest is undoubtedly the American debut of Eugene Ysaye, the Belgian violinist. The eminent virtuoso comes to this country with his "name and fame In the world" already established. He can add nothing to his reputation as an artist, for in his school he is ab solutely without a rival. Ysaye was born of a musical family and received his first instruction from his father, Nicholas Ysaye. After a few years In the famous conservatory at Liege, he studied under Wienluwskl at Brussels. About this time Viouxtemps heard him in concert. The story runs thut the audience was so enthusiastic and the impression mude on Vieuxtemps so great that he, in a fit of admiration, jumped on the stage, kissed the young violnist and, without much regurd for metaphor, called him "the star of his school, upon whom the mnntle of great ness had -fallen." Largely through the old master's Influence Ysaye was furnished with a pension by the Belgian government and enabled to complete his studies In Purls. Since that time Ids career has been one of almost uninterrupted public success. In September, 1SS6, at the suggestion of M. Jevaert, he was appointed high pro fessor at the Royal conservatory at Brussels, where he successfully con tinued the school formerly presided over by his two masters. Wienlawsk! and Vieuxtemps. The effects of his close attenton to this school are nl ready potent, and today the Brussels conservatory boldly claims that it pro duces as great voillnists under the in struction of Ysaye us the Paris con servatory of the school of Joachim. The fact that he is to have the support of M. Aline Lachaune as solo pianist and accompanist In his American tour should add largely to his success. Lu ehuume is an artist of line intelligence and admirable technique. He was a pupil of Georges Mathlas and de Beriot, and received the first prize at the Paris conservatoire in lSKil. Miss Theodore Pfallln, the dramatic soprano, completes this choice company, which Illustrates the old maxim of "infinite riches In a little room." II II II In a supplementary (third) volume of Liszt's letters, the great pianist relates an anecdote wheh, while omitted in all the Mozart biographies, was told hint on the best authority at Prague. At the first performance there of "Titus," the emperor. In whose honor the opera had been composed, left the house after the first act. The director, In great consternation, hastened to in form Mozart, who replied culmly: "So much the better, then we shall have one donkey less In the theater." II II II Allen A. Brown, of Boston, hns given his music library to the city. It will be plncd In one of the rooms of the Boston Public llbrury and be open for free use and consultation. It Is one of the most complete, If not the most complete, col lection of the kind In the country. There are 1,236 orchestra scores. Beethoven, Bach, Haendel and Mozart are in full In the line editions of Breltkopf and Haertel. There are plano-volce ar rangements of n.fiOO operas from Feii's "Dafne," dating lilM. to the last Parisian operetta. Of musical literature there are 2,300 volumes, and the card catalogue contains 11,000 numbers in all. Mr. Brown gives this valuable collection during his lifetime and he will have per sonal supervision of it. Scranton ought to have a few Allen Browns. It would do the city good. II II II The Seldl society of Brooklyn has made preparations for a season which, says the Sun, It believes will be notable, even compared with the best successes of the organization. Announcement is made of six orchestral concerts to be given in the' Brooklyn Academy of Mu sic during the winter, the first to take place on Tuesday evening, Nov, 13. The concerts will, of course, be given under the direction of Anton Seldl, with his orchestra and assistants of eminent soloists. At the first concert Cesar Thomas, the Belgian violinist, will make his first Brooklyn appearance, and other soloists are to be Mrs. Julie L. Wynian and the Misses Rose and Ottilie Sutro, pianists. The orchestral part of the programme is well up to the high standard set In previous seasons. Sue- Gilmore's Aromatic Wine A tonic for ladies.

"Rubenstelnhasbeen called and recg nlzed the tenor poet of the world. Un der his fingers the piano sings and the soul of its sweetness is revealed in its fullest and loveliest perfection. The Rubenstein touch is what all artists strive for, that is, strength with lightness. Players who pound the piano get from the instrument just that for which they aim noise. And who goes to a concert to hear ear-distracting noise?"; Just here we may call atten tion to the beautiful pianissimo work of our own pianist, Mr. Carter, as exhib ited throughout his entire work of Mon day evening. He produced the same variety of delicate shading on the piano as he does upon his big organ. His beautiful piano touch emphatically re futes the idea that organ playing in Jures the touch for the piano, ' 11 11 11 The music committee of Elm Park church will meet all applicants for the position of solo sopranos at the church on Monday at 4 p. m. The test will consist of solo singing and sight read ing. .Mine. Nordlea. will sail for New York early In November. She will sing "Elsa" on her first night at the Metropolitan Opera House, under Abbey & Grau's management. Later In the season "Trlstran and Isolde" will be given, with Nordlea and Jenn de lieszke in the title roles. Both will sing In German. -nu H 'I II The Oratorio society of New York, under Damrosch, will give "The Crea tion," "Messiah" and Bach's "Passion According to St. Mathew" during the winter. In May there will be a week of oratorio, when Beethoven's great "Missa Solennls" will be performed. , II II II Mine. Bertha Marx-Goldschmitt, the pianist, who played In this country with D'Albert and Sarasate In 1N!H), will give an interesting series of eight recitals In Berlin. Two evenings are devoted to the sonata, one to etudes, one to fanta sies and ballads, the last of the series to living composers. Out of 2il numbers Brahms leads the list with seven. - , 11 !l n The Boston Symphony orchestra has taken the Metropolitan opera house for the usual series of concerts in New York tliis year. Seldl will give live eon certs there during the next month. The six Philharmonics, under Seidl, and the Symphony society concerts, under Damrosch, will be given In Music hull. II II II The Blauvelt concert at the Froth Ingham on Monday evening may be con sidered the chief musical event of the week. An excellent programme was ar tistically rendered and there was little about the entertainment to criticize. At the risk of being considered In the dark, musically speaking, however, one must question the taste displayed in closing the concert with an agonizing solo from the "Creation." The writer has upon various occasions listened to a moderate variety of music, and can enjoy almost anything in the line. Un der proper cultivation he might be en abled to derive pleasure from listening to the filing of a buzz saw or to the staccatto passages from a classical boiler manufacturing shop. But candor compels the admission that "On Mighty Peus" Is too profound It Its ear wrench ing completeness for comprehension. The musical theme Is too thoroughly obscured to be properly appreciated by the average listener. The uneasiness of the audience at the Frothinghani on Monday night during Madame Blau veit's efforts to discover the musical point in the solo, was in marked con trast with the silence that pervaded the theater during the rendition of the re malnder of the programme. There i no question that the oratorio Inspira tion left an unpleasant impression up on the audience nt the close of the con cert. II II II The latest In musical devices Is a patent attachment which can be hooked upon an upright piano, making the lat ter, by the aid of an electric motor, a self-playing instrument. The nppll ance has reached Scranton and is re garded with apprehension In some local ities. The Hend who plays " Down Went Met Unty" and "Boulanger's March" for hours at a stretch, occasionally is forced to stop for sleep and food; but it Is eusy to see that the machine piano may go on forever, so long us the elec tric power holds out. One consolation, however, may be derived from the au tomatic 'instrument: There are no music rolls manufactured yet that con tain the five-linger exercises that often make the labors of the youthful aspir ant something to be dreaded In a quiet neighborhood. For this all should be thankful. II I! II SHARPS AND FLATS: The chorus recently organized by John T. Watklns which will i-umpete at Allen town on Thanksgiving, began active re hearsal on Wednesday evening. Coslma Wagner hus accepted un invita tion to be present at the model perform ances of Wagner's music-dramas to be given nt Dessau next motitlit In mlilltlon to the female oholr Mrs. Nellie Moses Thomas will conduct a chor us of mixed voices that will compete for prizes at the eisteddfod at Allc-ntow n on Thanksgiving Day.

Miss Gertrude Holyoke French, the harp ist of the Frothliigtiani While orchestra, promises to become a valued member of the musical fraternity of Scranton. Miss French expects to open a studio In the city and give Instruction upon the harp und mandolin when not tilling theatrical engagements. - On reading that Clara Schumann cele brated her seventy-fifth birthday on Sept. 13 at liuerlukeH, one cannot help think ing how manv pearls would huve been ad ded to the world's musical treasures could Schumann huve preserved his life und health as long as his wife, who has sur vived him thirty-eight years. Verdi, says the New York Evening Post, has been weak enough to accede to the re quest of the Parisians to add a genuine ballet to his "Othello." The music is said to be very good, but Its excellence will not atone for the inartistic proceeding of In troducing un unmotivated ballet in the third uct of that tragic opera. If music were not fashionable In Ger many, Kmpeior William would soon make It so. He Is now said to be at work on an opera based on the subject of "Wleland thoSinlth,"the poem which Wagner wrote but never set to music, as he was appar ently not satisfied with It, but which ho klmily offered to Liszt and others. At a recent sale of musical autographs In Berlin the original of Weber's "invita tion lo the Dance" fetched 7ii0. It had been for many years in the market for $73 without finding u purchaser. At the same sale one of Schubert's songs, "Antigone," was sold for $10. Poor Schubert would have been glud to sell It, copyright and ull, for $1.2(1.

Keep the Lungs Kell Filled with Ture Air and Avoid Consumption. A PEW SIMPLE EXERCISES Physical Director Weston Explains How -Men of Sedentary Habits May Avoid Many of the Ills That Pursue Those Who Do Not Exercise. It will be well for me, at the outset, to state something about the principal organs of respiration. The lungs are conical In form and are enclosed In a cavity called the chest. The sides nre composed of ribs, muscles and skin. The floor Is an clastic membrane called the diuphrngm. The upper end lies beneath the shoulders and Is more or less rigid while at the bottom the lungs are free and unhindered In their move ments. The chests of singers, gymnasts and those living in elevated regions are the largest, and it is claimed that those who live in the lofty plans of Peru acquire chests out of all proportion to the rest of their body by the excesive use they get in climbing. On the other hand disuse of purts of the lungs result In flatness of chest, while disease will produce a deformity. The size of the lungs varies. In a person of medium size there always re main , about 100 cubic inches of air. The amount which can be taken in by the most violent possible inspiration Is known as his vital capacity. For a healthy man of 5 ft. S In. in height, It Is about 225 cubic Inches, and about nine cubic inches for every additional Inch In height. . The quantity or air breathed dally we can Judge by the rate at which the breathing occurs. The average number is about fifteen to the minute and about thirty cubic Inches taken at each breath. There are two kinds of breath ing, namely, abdominal or diaphrag matic costal or chest breathing. Ab dominal Is the only correct way. In this style of breathing the chest and abdomen alternately expand and con tract and aiiythng that prevents their free movements must be avoided or health will be endangered. The Effect of Dress. The two types of breathing were first observed by a Dutch physician in 1744, not only nmong adults but among children before they were a year old. The costal style of breathing is be lieved to be due to the female sex alone, on account of dress which Interreres with the abdominal movements. This is proved by taking the females of a wild race, showing that 75 per cent, of them gave evidence of the abdominal style of breathing. Correct habits of breathing are more than mere helps to the chest and health and Is the best preventive against consumption, ns proven by statistics. Breathing has an Important bearing of the calculation by which the blood is purified and enriched. William Blukie, or New York, author of "How to Get Strong and Stay So," states that an inch or two added to the capacity of the chest means not only a stronger one but greater power to resist disease. The left apex of the lungs are the first part to be addicted to consumption. Consumption is not a disease which starts in a day, but is an outgrowth of morbid habits and agencies. Defective habits of breathing are wide spreud. Our clerks, operators, tailors, lawyers, Jewelers and many flat .chested and round-shouldered people in other walks of life rarely fully Inflate their lungs. Plenty of pure air and good food will build up and strengthen the entire system. Notice the majority of our business men and you will readily see at a glance that the uper pnrt of their chests are flattened out by thepositions asumed in their ofllces. I do not think there Is any man but what can have his lungs increased in size by following out these exercises. I would advise in your dully walks to and from business that yon attempt the following exer cises: . Kales of Good Ilreathiiig. First When you are at your desk writing sit ns far back on the seat so that the lower end of the spine will be well braced against the back of the seat; then there will be no strain on the ligaments of the spine and the mus cles of - the abdomen will not be cramped. What hinders good digestion Is the way a great many people sit at the table. Note: Always try to have plenty of fresh air coining in. This can be done without any draught. Second Inhale through the nose, never through the mouth, excepting while you are in the hands of a special ist. Have your nose treated so that the air may be tempered and purified be fore reaching the cells or cavities In the lungs. Take this exercise in the street, In your office, every time you think of It, wherever the air is pure. I would suggest as a regular course of breathing thut the following be tried in the morning by those wishing to en large their vital capacity. Some Breathing Exercises. 1. Stand erect, head up, chin out, hands on hips, elbows well back, in flate slowly, from the bottom around the waist until your capacity Is reached: then let It out slowly as long as pos sible. This style of breathing will be curried on by the diaphragm and the abdominal muscles and Is called ab dominal breathing. 2. Clasp hands behind head, inhale slowly and evenly, tilling and raising your chest to the utmost capacity. This style of breathing Is brought about by the action of the Intercostal muscles, will raise the ribs and Is called costal breathing. I would advise exercises to alternate these two styles of breath ing. 3. Start with the arms overhead, knuckles front; bring your arms down to a front horizontal: spread them to side horizontal; together in front and breathe from the abdomen. As the arms are going up, hold the uir and re peat eight times. If you get dizzy, stop it for a while, and gradually in crease as you get stronger. There Is no exercise and breathing direction combined that will tend to give you such a good, round, full chest as this exercise will; and I know of one man that Increased the size of his chest four Inches in three months by these few, simple breathing exercises. Sandow's private exhibition showed how he tills his chest fourteen Inches, first breath ing slowly and forcing the air to the utmost capacity. His breathing Is ab dominal and costal. R. L. Weston Burned Ills Kerchief. What a prosperous world this would be If young men would apply their wits as Industriously to affairs of business as they do in emergencies where the fair sex is concerned! This thought wus sug gested by the story of a young Insur ance man who went out for a moonlight drive one evening last week. At his side In the conveyance was a handsome young woman. They drove through the western part of the city, and con cluded to go through the beautiful ave nues of Western park. But when they reached the gate the guard stopped them with the command that they must stay out or have lights In the lamps of their conveyance. There was no store near, and they were about to give up the Idea of a delightful drive under the shady trees, when, in utter desperation, the young man drew forth a silk handkerchief, colled It up and Ut one end after putting It in the lamp, The guard did not notice the trick, and they passed through the gate. The hand kerchief quickly burned out, leaving them In the dark and In the park. Louisville Courier-Journal. , The most Effective Skin Purifyin; and Beautifying Soap in the World.
