BREATHING DEEPLY.
An Exercise Easy to Perform and of Un-
doubted Value.

uOuDUeu Nalues
With the preliminary but important
matter of clothing satisfactorily settled we
are ready to breathe. If very weak, liz
down on an easy cOuch-lie fiat on tho
back. Sec that the air is fresh, but avoid
a draft. Draw in long, slow breath,
letting trae diaphragm and abdomen OK
pand as fully as possible. Then by con-
traction Of The diaphragm, a quick draw
ing in of che muscles of the stomach,
force the air into the upper part of the
lungs and hold it there a moment or two
before allowing it to pass up into tho
throat. This is done by contraction Of
tho vocal cords and is not usually difficult.
But if the cords will not close and the air
is not readily controlled close the lips and
hold the nose for moment, which will
prevent the air from all leaving the apex
of the lungs. With practice the vocal
cords will come under perfect control.
Some have difficulty in establishing the
abdominal breathing, especially those
who have been in the habit Of breathing
entirely from the throat. But when tho
clothing no longer forms an obstruction
this will gradually right itself. The nat
ural mode of breathing asserts itself most
readily when one is lying down; therefore
that position is recommended for tho daily
practice, which should be persistent, but
also very gentle. Do not allow yourself
to become really fatigued and be careful
not to make the lungs ache. If one deep
breath brings WEAKNESS or dizziness, stop
with the one breath, but try again when
fully rested. The upper part of the chest
will gradually expand and in time will
round out beautifully.
The careful practice Of deep breathing
will bring new vitality to any organ not
incurably diseased. 1t will enrich the
blood moro than any preparation of iron
or cod liver oil. 1t has greater power than
any anodyno to. soothe and restore ex-
haustod nerves. 1t will round the throat,
straighten the shoulders, fill the chest,
give sparkle to the eyes, color to tho
cheeks. Those who like to sing will re-
joice to find their voice gaining marvel
ously in strength and purity Of tono.-

The Pains of Rheumatism

According to the best authorities origi-
nate in a morbid condition of the blood.
Tactic acid. caused by the decomposition
of the gelatinous end albuminous tissues,
circulates with the blood and attacks the
fibrOus tissues, particularly in the joints,
and thus causes the local manifestations
of the disease. The back and shoulders
are the parts usually affected by rheuma-
tism, and the joints at the knees, ankles,
hips and wrists are also sometimes at
tackled. Thousands of people have
found in Hoods Sarsaparilla positive
and permanent cure for rheumatism. 1t
has had remarkable success in curing the
most severe cases. The secret of its
success lies in the fact that it attacks at
once the cause of the disease by neutral
izIng the Tactic acid and purifying the
blood, as well as strengthening every
function of the body.

"How boyish impressions cling to one!"
said doctor yesterday. when You told
me who that old gentleman was chat just
passed, it brought to my mind tho time
when 1 was boy mt Lewiston. There was
a blast furnace there, and it was a mark
of distinction to be able to BECOME familiar
enough with the engineer to have him ask
you to come into the engine room. Any
boy who had the honor was the envy of all
tho rest. l remember how we watched
that 200 horsepower engine looking at ev
cry part and noting even the name of the
maker.
The boys used to get together and dis
cuss which they would rather-bc tho pres
idcnt of the United States or the maker Of
what to us was a wonderful piece Of ma
chinery. 1t was invariably decided that
tho making Of an engine was the moro
desirable honor. How we pictured tho
man who was able to construct such a
piece of mechanism! We thought tho
whole world must be bowling down before
him.
No; the man you pointed out was the
maker of that engine. As soon as you
spoke his name l saw the raised iron let
tiers standing out plainly before me. l wag
just thinking what treat we boys would
have thought we were getting if we could
have seen this man. A circus would have
been thrown in the shade by the presence
of such, as we thought, great Nun. But
the world widens as we grow 0Ier and
the ideals of our boyhood days vanish into
such faint rememDrances as have just
been giving you. More is tho pity. -

THE HOME RULE QUESTION AGAIN.

II is to be hoped that the President will not
again make the mistake which is now repre-
sented in the person Of Recorder Of Deeds c..
q. J. TAYLOR, and appoint a city postmaster
who is not identified with the District by long
previous residence therein.
The opposition 10 Recorder Taylor has, of
late, included other arguments than his status
as a foreigner to the locality whose official
business he is supposed to transact. Il is
suspected that he is guilty Of operations
which come within the condemnation of the
civil service act. But the original objection
70 him was based on the idea Of home rule,
which should be considered in the selection
Of District officials, and Of which President
Cleveland took no apparent cOgnizance in
this particular appointment.
The District Of Columbia has plenty Of good
timber for the position Of custodian Of Wash
ington's postal service. There is no need Of
the imported article this time. Local candi-
dates are not wanting and local candidate
should be selected.
THE TIMES has no personal preferences TO
express as far as the various candidates are
concerned. 1t takes only one stand-that
the home rule idea be made the criterion Of
choice.
The District Of Columbia has little enough
TO say about its own government. A small
boon for the appointing power to grant Is the
placing in District Office Of men who know
something about the District. If even this is
taken away, the citizen OF Washington will
indeed be a voiceless quantity.

POSITIONS FOR SCHOOL GRADUATES.

Our District school children have one more
week of playtime-then come books, lunch
boxes. lessons, teachers, and all the activity
of another year OF young ideas in the process
Of shooting. The schools OF Washington are
in the fore front Of the free institutions of
learning in the country and the Washington
mother and father are glad the fall term is to
commence, even though the Washington
small boy has a deep sorrow at the renewal Of
a thraldom OF regularity.
There was some newspaper discussion. at
the time Of the graduating exercises last
spring. about the futures Of the young men
and women who are yearly turned away from
books toward deeds, from theory to practice.
The pulpits Of the city took up the discus
sion, and a mental canvass was made OF the
occupations open to these boys and girls, who
must either continue to live on their parents
or be thrown on the world.
The conclusion was easily reached that the
business necessities OF the District did not in
clude the services of very many High School
graduates. As for postgraduate studies in
law and medicine, these professions were
found apparently overcrowded. The ques-
tion was then raised: What will we do with
them?
That question is to-day echoed throughout
the country. What shall We do with them?

Mr.. CRIsP's SPEECH.

Speaker Crisp has opened the Georgia cam
paign in a memorable speech, the Anal para
graph Of which is az follows:
I'VE have reduced public expenditures, and
we have declared undying hostility 10 all trusts
and monopolies, organized for the oppression Of
the people On these foundations we build
our house, on these issues we go before the
people For them We have fought the good
fight; to them we have kept the faith, and Of
them we have no fear"
Here is remarkable example Of the skill
ful use OF language Mr.. Crisp says 1--WE
have declared undying hostility to trusts and
monopolies" Now that word declared"
carries an implication that the hostility
was actually carried into execution, which
can scarcely be claimed in several important
tariff schedules, notable that Of sugar. But
the casual reader and the excited hearer at
once get the impression that the "declara-
ton" was equivalent TO the execution.
Another phrase Of the excellent choice Mr.
Crisp employs in the selection Of his phrase
ology appears in the use Of the pronoun
''we." Which 1--WE" Is it, Mr.. Crisp, the
House we or the Senate we? If the pronoun
refers 20 the House Democrats. the word de
clared" viii be admitted to stand for the
execution; if the pronoun stands for the Sen
ate Democrats, the word must stand for
itself, and no additional implication can be
admitted; il the pronoun refers, as is implied
in the contest, 10 the Democratic party in gen
eral Mr.. Crisp must remember that the trust
Senators are members OF that party, and he
should 60 to the length Of explaining just
where their ''undying hostility to all trusts"
comes in.
Mr.. Crisp is one OF a body Of Democratic
Congressman who did their best 10 stand 10y
their platform promises. Why can he not come
boldly out in the introduction to his speeches
and eliminate the rubber gang in the Senate
from the Democratic party? Then his after
remarks would be more logical. He is too
good a man and belongs TO too good a class
Of legislators TO take on his shoulders re-
sponsibility that should rest elsewhere.
