The sanitary value OF Yawninr.

applied age not SO often recommended by
our medical meatsrs that>we can afford to
overlook the discovery of the celebrated
Belgian physician who has just pro-
claimed thsG yawning is one of the health
lest and naost beneficial Of bodily functions
The more we yawn, it appears, the more
"tonifed' and the better we are altogether
Tt is not the least merit of this discovery
that like necessity in the Shakespearean
proverb, it makes vile things-or, at any
rate, unwelcome things-precious. The
society of bores, the preaching of the cler-
ically unfit, the speeches of parliamentary
windbags and platform buffoons, the novel
of the advertising hill topper and the po-
etry of the maggot Drained "decadent, I"
all assume high sanitary value in the

marked influence upon the demand for

some considered his masterpiece, was thu
large group at Madrid known as "The
Maids OF Honor" Into this painting We
lasquez introduced a portrait of himself
working at an easel.
King Philip was nightly interested in
the progress of this picture and visited the
painter daily during its production. At
length in the course of enc of these visits
Velasquez laid down palette and brushes
and declared the painting finished.
"Not quite" said the king. Zone detail
is lacking, and taking up brush he began
to work on the portrait of the painter.
With few touches he sketched on his
breast the cross of the Order of Knighthood
of Santiago, one of the highest honors it
was in his power to bestow.-London

EXCURSION TO ST. PAUL.
Assistant Adjutant General Miller Slater
No Arrangements Have Been Made.
To the Editor of the Press.

To the Editor of the Press;
I have seen In some of our Maine
papers a statement to the effect that the
q. A. r. veterans of Maine are not quite
satisfied with the railroad arrangements
which have been made to accommodate
those intending to go to the National En-
campment at ST. Paul. AS the assistant
adjutant general is the department. officer
designated to make such arrangements
the above appears to be reflection on
his discharge of that duty.
TO relieve the minds of any comrades
who may be misled by this statement,
desire to say that no arrangement
whatever has been made with any rail-
road by the Department. of Maine for the
ST. Paul trip. Very few if any OF the
New England Departments of the Grand
Army have closed arrangements with the
railroads. There is no hurry and the
Maine comrades can rest assured that the
Department. of Maine will receive az
good rates and as many concessions as
pre- granted to their comrades in other
states
