Exercise for Chest Development.

Exercises Of strength lead rapidly to
an increase in the size of the thorax.
1t is the same with exercises of speed
when they need very energetic move.
ments. No exercise develops the chest
as rapidly as does running. unless it
be wrestling.
Mountaineers all have large chests,
and the Indians who live Oh the high
p~lateaus of the Cordillera in the Andes
have been noted for the extraordinary
size of their chests. This great devel-
opment in mountaineers is due to two
causes, which act in the same direc-
ton: frequent ascentof steep inclines,
and constant residence at great heights
at which the air is rarelied. The
climbing Of these slopes needs a great
quantity Of work. which causes in
crease Of the respiratory need; respi-
ration in a rarelied atmosphere obliges
a man To take deeper breaths in order
TO supplement. by the quantity of air
breathed, the insuiliciency Of its vivi-
flying properties. :
Singers, with no other exercise but
singing. acquire great respiratory
power and a remarkable increase in
the dimensions Of the chests.
Numerous observations prove that
it is enough voluntarily to take a Ger
tain number Of deep breaths every
day, TO produce, in a short time, an
increase in the circumference of the
chest which may amount 10 two or
three ceniimcters --FernaGd Lagrange,

The Murder of Gen. Prim.

After seventeen years of fruitless in.
vestigation, there is every reason to be-
lieve that oneof the murderers of Gen.
Prim has been discovered. A native of
Madrid named Ramon Martinez Y
Pedragosa. who died recently in the
hospital at Buenos Ayres, authorized
the chaplain 10 publish his confession.
He also told the priest that n of his
accomplices was in Mexico. This news
agrees with the version given in Madrid
in 1874 by Signor Tamberlik, who was
an intimate friendo of Gen. Prim. The
two chief assassins went straight to
Lisbon, and thence TO South America.

Jealous of His Donkey.

Although jealousy is the most un-
reasonable OF passions, few persons
fear the rivalry of creatures far be-
meath them in the scale of being. II
would be possible, one would think,
TO be jealous of a man, but not of q
donkey. Mr.. T. A. Trollope writes:
"We took one morning a little excur-
sion to Tusculum. on which my wife
rode a donkey belonging 10 a very
competent guide. This man knew
every point where il was desirable TO
draw rein in order TO enjoy the lovely
and varied views. The donkey, who,
no doubt, knew all these hating
places as well as his master, once
turned aside from the path, in a very
business like fashion, and planted
himself before q gate from which a
specially pleasing outlook was TO be
seen. Nv wife. thinking TO please the
man, said: How well your donkey
knows his business. He came of him
self 10 this lovely view, just as If he
enjoyed it, But the effectof her words
was very startling. The man became
suddenly and furiously angry. No,
not he. IL know how 10 make ladies
and gentlemen see the views, and all
that is TO be seen. He!-be is an ass,
and Knows nothing. IL am the

BUT ONE DAY MORE,
AND THEN THE BIG POINT SHOW WILL
CLOSE.

Symphonic Concert To-Night-High Water
and the River Front-Some Talk About
Future Plans - Not One Vote Against
Separate Reform Schools for Females.
Since the opening of the Exposition there
have been just 81 rainy evenings, but last
night was the most remarkable of all. 1t is
strange how people will endure the discom-
forts of miserable weather for social pleasure
and enjoyment, but. tits fact. nevertheless.
and IN the superlative degree, to judge from
last nights crowd.
The high water has played havoc with the
river front of the Exposition buildings, wash
ing away the banks considerably. Next year
the society will either build retaining wall or
drive piles along the front and fill in with rip
rap work.
The final symphonic concert of the series
will be rendered tonight, and a charming
programme has been prepared.
Tomorrow night will end the big show for
this year. Baker. the popcorn man, has
secured the same rights at the coming Worlds
Fair as in the Expo. The cafe company will
also be found at the Chicago show. 1nnes'

new plan.

EXPOSITION PEOPLE LEAVE,
And Call at Kleber Bros

After viewing the splendid sights at the
Exposition most of the visitors (who mea n
business) call at II. Kleber & Bros, 506
Wood street, and select one of their superior
pianos and organs. They know in their
hearts that to make fine show is one thing
and to give people the very finest instru-
ments at the price of the common second
class goods is quite another thing, The
Messrs. Kleber & Bro. enjoy the fullest
confidence of the public, and whether they
exhibit or not, whether they hold forth on
the principal business streets of P ttsburg,
Wood street, or in Diamond or Virgin
alley, the public will seek them out and
congratulate themselves that they have
found out the place which is utterly safe and
reliable, and above the sharp tricks of new
houses which have come in at the eleventh
hour and which have to rely upon the
credulitv OF the public to get rid OF their
goods-using clubs and other knock-down
arguments to bulldoze their callers into
buying their inferior wares-articles which
the Kleber Bros. had long since rejected as
unworthy of being associated with their
honorable record and name. Such pianos
as Ste1nway's, Conover's, Opera, Gabler,
Emerson, aud organs such as the great
Vocalions, Earhuff dust-proof and Burdett,
cannot be duplicated in this country.
Klebers give an eight-year warrantee and
sell on easy time payments.

1T IS A LANDSLIDE.
Local Politicians Agree Upon This
One Fact, But Differ as To
WHICH WAY THE CAT WILL JUMP.
General Sheridan, Between Speeches, Talks
on National Politics.
WARD MEETINGS BECOMING NUMEROUS

"It's landslide" That's the way the
political situation is summed up at the
three headquarters in this city. While
there is an agreement on this point, there is
striking difference of opinion as to which
way the land will slide.
At the Democratic headquarters it is
called Pattison avalanche. The ex and
possibly next Governor is expected here
during the last week OF the campaign, when
he will speak in Sharpsburg, on the South
side. and in the suburbs generally.
The dismal weather could not depress the
buoyant spirits of the Independent Repub-
licans who were gathered together at their
headquarters yesterday. and predictions of
from 80, 900 to 100, 900 majority for Pattison
shivered the murky atmosphere with roseate
flashes.
N. Il. Ayres Vice Chairman of the Indepen-
dent Republican State Committee, was
at the Pittsburg headquarters yesterday.
Mr. Ayres was an active factor in
the election of Governor Beaver, but
now he is organizing the 20 western counties of
the State in the interest of Pattison. He said
yesterday: Thousands of old-time Repub-
licans will vote for Pattison because they are
opposed TO boss dctation. The old soldiers are
also coming to the front, and express their de-
termination to rescue from the hands of cor
ruptInnists the country they risked their lives
to save. The indications are that Delamater
will be repudiated even in his own county. and
il is doubtful whether Andrews can win his
own fight. 1t was largely to give Andrews more
time TO attend to his own canvass that Cooper
was brought into the campaign. / expect that
the Republican majority in Somerset county
will go down to or below zero"
The crowd at the Republican headquarters
was large and apparently cheerful. Mr.. John
N ta tat he
Forty-second district, said: "Yes, it is a land
slide, and it's sliding our way. The Repub-
licans are coming back to the fold, and coming
with rush. They will all be in hue in few
days. and a week before election we will know
within few hundred votes just what Mr..
Delamater's majority will be-"

Arthur Kirk & Son, Mechanical Hall.
Only few hours are left in which to in

cally instead of the usual horizantal method.
These gates are raised BY hydraulic pressure
under them, behind the boat; they are low
cred by simply relieving the pressure, the
weight of the gates causing them to fall, and
the boats pass directly over them. The
pressure or the release is controlled bv a
system of small gates and levers, which reg

higher level, which water, it will be OBJ
served, comes through conduits constructed
In the sides of the lock. The PRINCIPLES
upon which these gates are made and op-
Grated enables them to be extended indefi-

made of any desired lit. With this
working model 1000 gallons of water per
minute are used when they are demonstrate

but then the model is OF unusual size. An
other circumstance to be considered in this
connection is, that these same principles ore

lowered in high water, and raised again
when there is necessity. Rivermen and
others conversant in these matters call it "a
downright sensible contrivance, that will
work as it is claimed for it." The long ex-
perience of these people certainly entitle
them to form Judgment in these things;
the general public finds itself interested
