he is on parade, and although he is the
bravest of the brave, his average ply
steal condition is not as high as that

dition means endurance, and these red

of that than any other soldiers in the

The reason for it lies here in Alder

for the British army. There are other
army gy5nnasiums in different parts OF
the country, but in this one the men
who teach are trained, so it is the best
example of them all. 1t is under the
direct supervision of Colonel the Hon
orable ]. S. Napier. who has command
of all this branch of work for the en-
tire army. He has personally worked
out each part of the training given to
the recruits, and il is because of him
that this gymnasium turns out the fin

with STOPPING shoulders and shambling
gait, after a few months training, are
sent to their commands big. full

are all sorts of apparatus. including all
that is used inside the building. besides
many that could not be used under
cover. -
The best of all the outside para
phernalia, and one known only to Eng
lish army gymns, is a great frame
work.. the invention of Colonel Napier,
upon which the men are taught climb
ing of every sort and which, owing to
it's height, is calculated to train the
eye as well as the muscles. Hanging
from the frame are many kinds of
knotted ropes, plain ropes, poles and
swinging ladders, and as inclined side
supports there are ladders, sliding
boards and smooth inclines. The classes

are put over this frame couple OF
| times each day at very fast time, an

slow ones do not block the way. Some
of the men become so expert at this
form of climbing that they can go up a

other side without using their hands to

the class is large the men are sent at
the frame in squads of about twenty

This unique frame is in reality an
entire gymnasium in itself, and might

All Can Fence.
The building devoted TO fencing con-
tains one room, about 70x50 feet. There
are no side windows, all of the light
coming from the top so that no glare
can blind the eyes of any of the con-
testants. Here l have seen as clever
use of the foil and blade as can be
found anywhere in Europe.
Just outside of the building are a
number of platforms arranged for prac-
tice in the open air and every pleasant
day there are large number of
swordsmen at work from morning I'M
til night, for as soon as one class fin
ishes its work another takes its place.
The sabre receives much more atten-
ton than the foil, especially with men
for cavalry regiments. although any of
the men that wish may take up the
foil If they are willing to put extra
hours into the practice. The use of
either blade issnot taught as thorough
~ TO the recruits for the infantry.
They are taught more of the attack
and defense with the bayonet. although
all recruits have a certain amount of
exercise with both weapons. The
classes are first given wooden guns to
drill with, and are taken,in squads of
about ten under an instructor who puts
them through the various thrusts and
parties until they are proficient enough
to use the contest bayonet which is
blunt and telescopes into the barrel of
the gun when the adversary is hit, thus
preventing accidents.
General Calesthenics.
In the calesthenic drill. the entire
class is taken at one time by the ser,
geant major. assisted by the corps of
instructors. On fine days the exercise
is taken on the field. 1t is a beautiful
sight to see these fine specimens of
physical power going through the exer-
cises with all the military precision of
a drill.

TO BREATHE SYSTEMATICALLY.

The supplying of oxygen is not the only function. although it is the most direct and vital one. Of proper breath ing. Thorough expansion of the chest insures the proper filling of the lungs with air. dilates all the minute air cells, especially those at the summits of the lungs, where motion is least and where the seeds of consumption are usually first planted. and increases the circulation of the blood throughout all parts Of these organs.
 Still another effect of proper breath ing is a beautifying one. The chest i5 broadened, the shoulders are thrown back. the figure is erect and the car riage graceful
 Perfect breathing is not natural 10 most men and women of scdentary oc- cupation and indoor life. Like all good things, 1t must be worked for, and the work must be persevered until full and deep respiration has become a habit.
 The means of attaining this object are various and cannot be recounted here; but they are all based upon the principle of removing permanently every obstacle to the free entrance of air into the lungs.
 School children sitting at their desks, clerks bending over their Icdgsrs, sean- stresses at work with the needle or the sewing machine. typewriters and all who must stoop as they earn their daily bread should learn to stop from time to time, to sit back in the chair. CT rise. throw back the shoulders and draw in ten or twelve deep, slow in- spirations. holding the breath for three or four seconds each time the lungs are filled.
 These exercises, like breathing in general. should always be done with the mouth closed. for the nose is the only proper channel for the passage to and fro of the air. A school teacher who will interrupt the studies once every hour through the session and teach the class to do this breathing exercise. will be contributing more than she can ever realize to the future well being of her youthful charges Ohio State Journal

Nothing novel or radical is proposed in the currency bill
 prepared by the re-

 and the first section of the new bill only re-enacts what has long been the law of the land All the present money of the United States, whether gold, silver or paper currency, in all its too numerous varieties. is re tained and its legal tender quality is unaffected by the terms Of the pro posed law.
 The separation of the redemption fund from the fund for general expea- ses of the government is sound finance. The bill provides that an amount of gold equal to 25 per cent of the amount of the United States notes and treas ury notes shall be set aside, as a re- serve fund not subject to encroachment for the purposes of meeting the gov ernments general expenses. The amount of this reserve would be about no million dollars. To protect this gold reserve from the endless-chain process, 1t is provided that those greenbac'1s redeemed by the government with gold cannot be drawn out of the treasury again except for gold.
 In the reserve fund would also be retained the special deposits of gold coin and bullion represented by out standing gold certificates, and the sil- yer dollars and bullion represented by outstanding silver certificates and treasury notes.
 There is no proposition to contract the currency in the legislation with regard to greenbacks. It is not pro- posed to retire them. Either the green back or it's equivalent would remain iz circulation.
 The sections of the new bill affect ing the coinage of subsidiary coin and fractional currency are important by reason of the removal of the present limit of s5O,OOOO 900 to the amount oi such money allowed in circulation. The demand for small money has been S great that the old limit cramped th'

Old King Carnival had his origin

Old King Carnival had his origin as a religious festival with civic trim
 mings centuries ago,
 OLD when the name, which
 KING means farewell to meat, CARNIVAL. preceded the beginning
 of Lent. In later days, King Carnival has come to mean an occasion when all the lack of conven- tionality and all the joy of sociability which marked the ruler in ancient days are transferred to other times and joy and happiness and pleasantly are in evidence without the conditions of Mardi Gras.
 Arizona today holds her carnival in her capitol city which welcomes from every portion of the territory her sons and daughters and the sons and daugh- ters of her sons and daugh- ters to mutual enjoyment and pIeasGre Phoenix is today and will be for the present week in strong evidence. Her hand is open to every Arizonian. Her heart swells in affection for every son and daughter of the territory. Each and all come not as strangers within her gates but as rightful owners of a full part and share of a festival intended to advertise every section of the territory.
 Old King Carnival, so far as Phoenix is concerned, is Old King Carnival for all of Arizona. It will fail in it's intert if it does not bring into strong evidence every resource of this magnificent a-d splendidly growing territory Its mines, its cattle industry, it's fruit, it's fa-ms its glorious climate, it's generous and genial hospitality, it's towns growing into cities. it's historic past, it's com posite population, its unquestione ed Americanism-all these, Old King Car nival in Phoenix this week, on behalf of Phoenix and Arizona, will put in un- becIouded evidence
 To all her visitors, from everywhere, Phoenix gives hearty. generous and un- selfish welcome. The city is theirs She has done her best to make it at tractive to all. partly, perhaps. because she feels that the capitol city of the territory belongs in part to every citi- zen of the commonwealth. while U strangers it exhibits a combination of climate and civilization which is un- surpassed in the Southwest.

business Of the country. Silver csr- tificates are to be issued only in de nominations of one. two and five dol lars, according to the secretary Of the treasury's discretion. This is another help toward meeting the demand for small change.
 The proposition to permit national banks to issue notes to an amount equal to the par value of the bonds deposited by them in the treasury to secure circulation, instead of only ninety per cent of that value, is q re- form long and generally advocated. And the amendment of ;ne present law so as to permit the incorporation of national banks in small towns with a minimum capital of S25,OOO, instead of O.OOO as now provided. would supply banking facilities to hundreds of com munities where they cannot be profit ably maintained under the present law.
 The reduction of the tax upon the national banks circulation was also greatly neded. One per cent was so high that a large amount of good cur rency was not issued, which otherwise would be available.

A NEW STORY ON w. J. STONE

Of the many interesting stories told of ex-Governcr William J. Stone of Missouri none is more pat" than an incident at Washington hail on the night of his speech there just prior to the election.
 As everybody who has ever met ''BiiI'' Stone knows, he is a hale fellow well met, and despite the error Of his politics there is not a bigger hearted or more genial man in all America When he works he works and Whsn he talks he talks, consequently h. is a forCiblc speaker. He eXpounded poDo- cratic doctrine ct Washington hall ua- til his throat became dry. The com mittee on arrangements had placed a pitcher of water and q glass on the table near the speaker. Mechanically he reached for a drink. The glass had been left upside down or in an inverted position. as the man from Maine would say. and when the former governor Of Missouri poured water out of the p-toh- CT it flowed on the bottom Of the glass and out over the table. i titteriaS crowd warned the statesman mat something was wrong. He glanced at the table. He saw. He conquered not by suppressins the flow, hut by his wit.

THE NAGGING PERSON.

Of all evils. the nagger is the most gricvous. The nagging husband, who finds fault with everything the mo- ment he sits down to the table in the morning. spelling the digestions of his family and running their splits for the day The naggiug wife, who is scold- ing some one or something all the time and gets no joy out of life herself nor allows any one near her to have peace or happiness. The nagging teacher. who is always reprimanding her pupils for trivial faults, while overlooking, without one word of praise, her pupils good work.
 Don't scold-the worst evil can be remedied in some better and more cI- fective way.-New York Herald.

For Only Fifty Cents. But It Was Sue
 cessfuI Beyond Expectation.
 Bingley R. Fales, former secretary of the Michigan club, and now chairman of the republican campaign committee on speakers and halls, has, of course, had q large experience with that indi- vidual classified politically as the strik- CT. He knows the methods of proccd- ure and thinks that he can even tell by the scent whether a dime. a quarter or half dollar will be compensation for the touch. Mir. Tales is not infalIi- ble. He made a speech in Pfeiffer's hall last night, and when lie had fin ished and descended from the platform. an individual, who was preceded by an aromatic notice of his approach, drew near.
 Its a quarter, sure" said MT. Tales to himself.
 Shay, can I speak [ you a minute" said the individual. Not now" said Tales guardedly, sparring for time. ''Wait till the meet ing is over"
 The individual drew back and Tales sat down in the crowd.
 Five minutes later q thick breath blew over FaIcs' shoulder and a thick voice said:
 Shay, can't I see you just a min ute?"
 Go away from 1rc," said Fales, ilIi- tably. Wait till the meetings over.
 The individual went away again, but three minutes after. when Tales arose. he was there again and repeated his request for just a minute"
 You go down stairs and wait until I come cut" said Fales, still playing for delay and hoping for escape.
 But when MT. Tales got down stairs the individual was there. The intellect of the assistant prosecuting attorney. 1 trained by police court experiences. worked a few lightning revolutions, ! and Tales walked straight up to the individual.
 You're a friend of mine. aren't you?" asked Bingley.

 Faics shook off his autipathy for aromatics, and, placing his mouth close to the ear of the individual, he said:
