If you want to know something bout
a mans character watch how he
handles his money. The generous,
careless man carries his money loose
in his pocket-copper, silver and gold
all mixed up together-and when he is
going to pay for anything ne takes out
a handful and picks out the amount he
requires. He seems to have no fear of
robbery, for he is of trustful DISPOSE
ton, and, being perfectly honest him
self thinks most others must be like
and imposed upon, yet he never en-
tirely loses his faith in his fell
low-creatures A fine nature is
his-in fact, too fine to cope
with the many greedy, grasping NOR
tails that food the world The man
who, if he has to pay a few pence,
won't even take the trouble of count
ing out the amount of coppers. but
throws down piece of silver to be
changed-and by the by he rarely
counts the change is type of "a fool

bile from such a character. has some

CORRECT BREATHING.

Extract from a Lecture by DR. =. II. Kel-
IoEg, of the Battle Creek Sanitarium.
Breathing is one Of the most impor-
tant functions of the body. and the inn
portance of breathing right can hardly
be overestimated. The chest is the
great pump OF the body and deep
breathing not only pumps the air into
the lungs, but also draws the blood
into the heart
One false method of breathing which
has some advocacy is abdominal breath
ing, more properly termed by some
''abominable breathing" BY this mode
the greatest movement is shown by the
abdomen through the movement
OF the diaphragm, for Of course
one can no more breathe with
his abdomen than he can with
his heels. This is really the most
feeble of any of the methods Of breath
ing, One would better employ that
other and more common false method
upper chest breathing because by
the diaphragmatic method all the or
gans of the internal viscera are con
tinually being pressed downward.

The BerinR Sea Case.

The decision Of the Paris court Of arbi-
tration in the Boring sea case is not an
entirely satisfactory one to this country,
and it is not wholly satisfactory to Eng
land One Of the claims Of this country
was that it had exclusive Jurisdiction in
Boring sea. That claim is denied. The
basis Of this claim was that Russia exer-
cised exclusive jurisdiction over that sea
when she possessed Alaska, and that
England recognized her right to do so.
The court holds that Russia exercised no
such jurisdiction, and, hence, did not cede
that right to the United States when she
coded Alaska.
The United States have seized a num-
Der of Canadian vessels in Boring sea that
were engaged in killing seals, and a
pretty heavy bill for damages will be
presented because of such seizures. The
English newspapers have already init
mated that damages will be claimed.
The concessions which the court makes
10 the United States are very considera-
bic and valuable. No seals are to be taken
between May l, and July 81 That is the
time during which the seals go to the
Pribylov Islands in Bering sea, and it
was during that period that the Canadian
seal hunters slaughtered them indiscrim-
inately while on their way to the islands,
The company that has the right from
the United States to take seals, kills
only those whose fur is desirable. and it
kills them only on the islands where it is
able to make proper selection of those
to be killed. The number it is permitted
to kill each year is limited. BY this means
the danger of exterminating the seals is
avoided, The plan that was being pur-
sued by the Canadian seal hunters would
have eXterminated the seals in a very few
years, because they shot every seal they
saw, whether its skin had a commercial
value or not.
Another concession made to the United
States is that they shall have exclusive ju-
risdiction of the sea within 60 miles of
the island. Within that limit seals can
not be taken by the seal hunters of any
other country, and as seals are pretty
hard to find outside of that limit pelag1c
seal hunting will not be as profitable as it
has been heretofore. Indeed it is a ques-
ton whether the regulations that have
been adopted will not practically put an
end to pelagic sealing. The United States
have not gained all they contended for.
but they have gained enough to make the
Pribylov Islands about as valuable as they
ever were for seal hunting purposes.

A New Story Of Columbus.

heard new story of Columbus last night,
writes Frank Carpenter in the New York
Press. 1t was one which ex-senator William
M. Evarts told some time ago at a dinner
given in Washington by John b. Alley of Mas
sachusetts. Alley was. you know, mixed up
in theCredit Mobilier and he has in different
speculations made a great fortune. He has
been living in Washington during the winters
for some years and his dinners are famous
Mr.. Alley had very large acquaintance with
great men, and he likes TO talk about his ex-
periences with them. As the story goes he
frequently INDUCES in "reminiscences at his
dinners During the one at which this Incl
dent occurred he had monopolized the CONVEX
SatlOn. He had told his guests what President
buchanan had asked Mr.. Alley and how Mr.
Alley had replied to Mr.. Buchanan. OF how
Abraham Lincoln had greeted Alley on GER
tain occasion and how Salmon b. Chase had
advised with him on another. AS Alley told
his last story his eye caught a queer smile
playing arond the wrinkled lips of Senator
Evarts, and be asked him II he had not some
thing TO say, Senator Evarts replied: Il
have been thinking while you have been speak
ing, Mr.. Alley, of one of the most stirring in
cidents in our history. 1t was when Column
bus was on his way to the discovery of Amer
lea. You remember the anxiety of the great
diScoVerer as the time arrived when he had
calculated he should arrive on the shores of
the new country. Morning after morning he
appeared early on the deck, straining his
eyes in looking toward the west. At last
one day as he gaZed through his glass, his
face was seen to shine with surprise. He
| looked lo4g and earnestly and finally handed
the glass to his most intimate friend at his
| side eXclatming: There. Alley. thank God
| there is land at last? Embrace me Alley; oul
| fortunes are made!' The teller of this story
| does not give the response of Mr.. Alley.
