YAWNING.

(From the Therapeutic Aspects of Talk
ing, ETC., DR.. H. Campbell)
There can be little doubt that one of
the objects of yawning is the exercise of
muscles which have been for long time
quiescent, and the acceleration of the
blood and lymph flow which has in con.
sequence of this quiescence become slug
gish. Hence it's frequency after one has
remained for some time in the same posi-
tion--e. g., when waking in the morning.
Cooperating with this cause is sIeepiness
and the shallow breathing which it en-
tails This factor, as well as muscle
guiescence, is apt to attend tie nse of
boredom which one experiences in listen
ing to q dull sermon. Hence it is that
the bored individual is apt to yawn. AS
in the case of signing, the deep breath
which accompanies the act of yawning
compensates fer the shallow breathing
which is SO apt to excite it.

ST. LOUIS MAY SAIL TODAY.

Portsmouth, n. H., July 12.-The aux

the Spanish prisoners into this port on
Sunday, was busy coaling today and it
was planned to have the work of taking

AT any rate, it is expected that the crui-

other Spanish officers who have been

HOW A MAN MADE $1,000.

because the Shap VINO LOST lG Told His
Business In Cafe.
Don't discuss your private business
affairs in public place, said an old
Brooklynite to the New Yorker who ap-
preached him in a cafe near the city
hall. Then the Brooklyn man, pointing
out real estate dealer, said:
Talking about a business deal in
this very cafe cost that man 81, 900, and
the money went into my pocket too.
You see, he represented a syndicate that
wanted to build on some property in
which was interested as the owner of
one house and city lot The agent did
not know me from a Canarsie clammer
Well, he came in here with a friend
one of the syndicate-for luncheon ON
an afternoon in last July. They took
seats at this table ] sat at the next
one.

mas say, when heard the strangers at
the next table discuss quite loudly
deal in relation to the property adjoin-
ing mine. The agent had ordered a fine
layout for luncheon and was evidently
we'll pleased with his deal. He said to
his friend:
"Well. pulled off the trick for
that property at 219 Cheap street today,
The owner thought l was doing him a
favor. started in at $15, 900 and final
ly closed with him for S1S, 900. He bit
in hurry. Why, the property is worth
$40, 900 If it's worth a dollar to us.
Now / must look for the chap that owns
221. He'll be glad to get S1S, 900 for
his house It's lucky for us they're not
on to the fact that we want to buy that
entire block
81 didn't need to do any eavesdrop-
ping, you see. That little speech Of the
agent cost him exactly 81, 900. You can
readily guess that !, as the owner Of 221
Cheap street, was not especially anxious
20 sell after that. l kept Mr.. Real Es-
tate Man on the jump for nearly five
months, and when 1 let up on him l
got my price, exactly $50, 000-a neat
little profit of 81, 900 above what 1
would have gladly accepted, So you see

HAVANA'S WEAK DEFENSE,

Only Few High Power Guns--People
In Cuba Specializing ON Our Line Of
Attack In Case of War-Spariards Feel
Secure.
HAVANA, via Key West, March 7.-As
the conviction becomes settled that the
court Of inquiry will decide that there
was a mine explosion under the
Maine, discussion among naval
officers and civilians here is preva.
lent as to the warlike measures
which it is believed the United States
government will adopt in case the uues
tion of the payment of an indemnity
by Spain is oveTuled. A majority be-
lieve that American troops will be
landed at some point east of Havana
and the insurgents communicated with,
that the Spanish soldiery will be de.
feated or captured in detail, and that in
the meantime feet of United States
vessels will blockade, if not lombard
Havana. No one seems to doubt that
the reduction of this city would be
comparatively easy. -Four 12-inch guns,
two west and two east of the city, are
the only ones that are considered dan
gerous. These are not likely to be well
served, while their emplacements are
not modern.
That some Spaniards are of opinion
that an attack on Havana will be made
is beloved TO DO shown by the abnormal
activity displayed on board the Vizcava.
This correspondent has the best naval
authority Tor the statement that the
Ni2Caya is III u constant state of readi-
ness for emergencies and that picket
boats are On the alert day and night in
side the harDor and outside the harbor
at night.

be caught in blockade and fall an easy

cruiser Alfonso XIII is without boilers
and would be of no account.
Now that the Almirante Oquindo
and the Vizcaya are lying in the harbor

arrival is Of the same size, armament

The conduct Of the Spanish divers who
are Investigating the wreck of the
Maine is a mystery. Thus far they
have not been down five hours in the
aggregate and they show no disposition
to make thorough inquiry.
1t is impossible TO learn the truth
fully regarding the purpose of the
Spanish court Of inquiry, but it is gen.
orally believed that the divers were sent
down for forms sake only and that a
report will be made in accordance with
instructions from Madrid. 1t may be
that the Spanish divers have discovered
that the whole port side of the Maine

further examination is deemed unneces-
sary. The work Of our own divers

HAVANA, via Key West, March 7.-Of
the very keenest interest to Havana is
the question of disbanding and disarm.
ing the volunteers. These soldiers,
whom no one trusts, are in a state of
great unrest. The colonels of three bat.
talions have tried to see General Blanco
ON the subject, but he made excuses
which they refused to accept or believe.
Finally General Parade sent a letter
saying that no government would dare
disarm the volunteers, which was re-
enforced by cable message to the same
effect from Senior Moret, minister of the
colonies at Madrid.
The volunteers, however, noting the
strength of the radical wing of the
Autonomists, and knowing that its
members are hostile to the volunteers,
are doubtful of all professions. The
officers of the volunteers believe that
the Sagasta cabinet is in favor of dis
banding their corps no mattee what is
said to the contrary. The colonial gov
ernment is anxious not only about the
possible action of the volunteers, but as
to what side the unpaid, badly.fed
Spanish troops will take. AS result
there is general disquiet, not visible to
an observer, but very real for all that.
The danger apprehended is demon.
stration against autonomy and General
Blanco by the volunteers, whom it
would be impossible to control when
excited and reinforced by mob from
the slums and who might do incalcu.
liable damage to life and property and
to the prospects of peace with the
United States.
1t is claimed also that the volunteers
and the regular forces are most to be
feared by non-combatants in an hour of
defeat.
