color for mourning, and by rs also for
half mourning. Painters. suffering from

Breathing,

Learn to breathe properly and system
atically and rhythmically and you may
overcome insomnia, weak lungs, indi-
gestion and even seasickness. This at
least is the theory, as well as the sue
cessful practice of the patients Of the
famous DR.. Oertel Of Munich, who has
elaborated system Of breathing that
he has set forth in large work on the
subject. Tho breathing is done by count,
or rather by steps-so many full deep
breaths to a step, the number, being
regulated by the nature Of the place
where the. walk is taken. whether it be
level or an ascent or descent. Thespeed
is regulated by the ailment and condi-
tion Of the patient.

EDITOR BOWLING, of the Eveleth
Star, on being "twigged" on his stand
ing on the silver question gives the
following effusion: sup to the
present time we have advocated no
special principle on the money ques-
ton, purely because we have no time
at our disposal to give the subject
creditable consideration. However,
for the benefit of the inquirer, and
having no desire to straddle or evade
any question, we. can safely say we be-
lieve in bimetalism of gold and silver,
providing it can, be accomplished by
international agreements. The time
is coming when the Eveleth Star will
be, heard from on this broad subject,
but it is when we have more time for
study and thought. We are not like
many of our weekly contemporaries
who follow only journalism, we have
ether irons that we cannot look
calmly over while they melt. -
In regard to the bit ofself-importance
in the last paragraph, we are at loss
to know how Bowling can hold any
more public offices than those he
already fills.

London and philadelphia Alike In This
Respect.
In her article ON 1.-THE Myth Of the
AGO." in Cosmopolitan, Mrs. Burton
Harrison tells of an American calling
upon lady in London and finding her
seated in a big chair by the window en-
gagged in some sort of needlework. A
young man came in and paid his re-
epecys, as it was her day at home, and
then bowed himself out. Three years
later the American was again in Lon
don, and again he called upon the lady.
It was her day at home, and there she
sat in the same chair by the same win
dow with the same needlework, or some,
very like it, in her hand, and, more re-
markable still, the same young man
called and made the same remarks he
had made three years before. Mrs. Har-
rison tells this anecdote to show how
unchanged things are in England and
how you are pretty sure to find people
just about as you left them. The illus
tration is a good one, but can match
1t with a better one over here.

Gan Indian horse race is the greatest
and most important event of the year to-
the tribes who participate in it, said
Ramon Thornton of Cheyenne to re-

contests, for, to begin with, there is
only one race, for which it takes months,
and weeks to arrange the details, and I
must tell you that the average Indian is,
q remarkably good matchmaker. I do,
not think ever saw race that was not
productive Of a close, exciting finish.
GAS soon as the day is set for the
great contest every man, woman and
papoose of both tribes assemble at the
appointed place, bringing all their
worldly wealth to support their cham,
pion. When the day Of the race arrives,
several large particolored blankets are,
spread upon the ground, at either side,
Of which the warriors and chiefs of the
opposing tribes range themselves, while,
behind are the chattering squaws, each
bearing the. treasures of her liege lord.
The head chief of one side generally
makes the first bet. Silently and with
stolid countenance he steps forward and
deposits his furs and other valuables on
the blanket, often even going 60 far as
to add his much priced, rifle to the.

places articles of similar value beside
