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. The breathing is done by count,
or rather by steps--so many full deep
breaths to 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 The speed
is regulated by the ailment and condi-
ton Of the patient.

Tho Chinese.

The merchant class Of China is COM
posed of polite, patient. extremely
shrewd, well dressed pattern shopkeep-
ere. The leisure class is graceful, pol
ished and amiable, but the peasantry
remind one Of the country folk Of Eu-
rope, excepting Russia.
As compared with Japan, one feature
Of every view is strikingly in favor Of
China. The dress and behavior Of the
Chinese will not offend Europeans. The
women are modest and dress in baggy
garment which completely covers them.
In spite Of their modesty Chinese
girls do flirt and in proper European
fashion. At church they make eyes at
the young men and on the way to school.
The most beautiful women Of China
are Of Soo-C Chow. They are, as a rule,
prettier than the women Of Japan.
The Chinese thrash rice by taking q
handful and beating log with it to
scatter the kernels on the ground The
farmers break up the soil and punch
holes in it for seeds with stick.
Women who are married wear their
back hair in a coil held in place by q
narrow bar of gilt metal or imitation
jade stone. The young girls wear the
coil ct one side Of the head and stick a
white flower in.-Exchange.

It was not an easy matter to get
married in press gang times. Robert
Miller, Kirkwall man, found this to
be the case. He returned from the
whalefishing one autumn. fully resolved
that he should take unto himself wife.
But the press gang got on his track, and
he soon saw that If he was to get his
hearts desire he would require to exert
both pluck and perseverance. At length
the Hateful night arrived. The company
had gathered, and the minister was in
the house Of the bride, prepared to pro-
coed with the ceremony, when the
dreaded press gang made its appearance.
Ladies are not unusually of q belliger-
emit disposition, but when they saw, as
in this instance, the likelihood of a
marriage being spoiled by interlopers
they rose up in wrath against them.
They assailed the members Of the press
gang both with tongue and missiles, so
that these gentlemen were glad to beat
a hasty retreat. After this little episode
back window Of the house was lifted.
and the bridegroom, dressed in woman s
CLOTHES, bounded into the room. The
doors having been barricaded to prevent
q surprise, the clergyman proceeded to
perform the ceremony, and surely no
bridegroom was ever married in such a
strange garbi Miller was never cap
tured. He lived to ripe old age and
was the first beadle Of the Kirkwall
Free church. -Chambers' Journal

FAMOUS SINGLE PEARLS.

The Shah Of Persia Has One Delicate Gem
Worth Over Half q Million.
II is not generally appreciated that
there are enormous fortunes in single
pearls, and that few individuals and
great potentates have jewels of this sort
which are literally worth kings ran
som. In all the world there is no more
famous pearl than the Tavernier, now in
the possession of the shah Of Persia.
This remarkable gem came to this east
ern king by descent and is genuinely
remarkable curiosity. 1t derives its
name from having been sold by the trav-
eler Tavernier 900 years ago to the then
ruler Of Persia The price then was
$500, 600. 1t Is now worth more than
$3.50, 900.
Another eastern king, the imam Of
Muscat, has In his collection pearl
worth $165, 900, weighing 12K carats.
Through it the daylight can be seen.
Princess Yousoupoff' s finest gem is won
derfully beautiful Valued at $3.50, 600,
It was first heard Of in 1890, when Geor-
gibus Of Calais sold it to Philip w Of
Spain. Eighty Thousand dollars is the
figure that it is Appropriated the pope's
pearl would bring. One of Leo's prede-
cessors became possessed Of it in man.
ner which has not been told, and it has
descended in regular course to the pres
emit incumbent of ST. Peters throne.
This, so far as is known, exhausts the
list OF truly celebrated pearls. There
are many remarkable pearl necklaces
whose value is extraordinary. These
necklaces are made up gradually, pearl
after pearl being added to the set, and
leading jewellers are constantly ON the
lookout to procure gems Of like rarity
to extend the chain. On the whole, pink
pearls are not especially valuable, black
ones bringing far higher prices, and
pearls that are-white being sought next
after them. Queen Victoria Of England
has a necklace of pin pearls that is
worth $50, 900, and the dowager en-
press of Germany one made Of 80 pearls
which would bring easily $125, 900.
The Rothschild women have, how
ever, gems Of this sort that far exceed
in value those Of royalty. Baroness Gus
tave de Rothschild possesses one made
up Of five rows Of pearls, the whole
chain being valued at $500, 900. Bar
oness Adolphe de Rothschild owns q
oirclet that in all probability would
fetch even at q forced sale $3.50, 600.
Even more brilliant, because it has
seven rows, is the necklace of the dow
ager empress Of Russia The gems,
however, are not quite as fine as those
in the Rothschild collection The cas-
ket Of this royal lady is the most IA
nous in the world from gem point Of
view. Hardly second to it is that Of
the empress Of Austria, whose black
pearls are noted throughout Europe for
their extreme beauty and rarity.
What has become Of the white pearls
Of the Empress Eugene, sold at the
close Of the Franco Prussian war, has
never been made known. The value of
these was some $50, 900, and they were
gathered together in very beautiful
necklace that frequently graced the
neck of that unfortunate queen.-New
