Deep Breathing.

A hale and hearty man of 10 years
told me that he could always prevent a
cold from taking hold of his system by
breathing 20 deep full breaths out OF
doors. He is in the habit of taking
these 20 breaths each day, and attributes
to this habit his health and strength.
A woman who lectures on voice culture
SAYS that 'as you breathe you think.
Breathe deeply, thoroughly and freely,
and your brain will work better for it
am sure.
"Yet a majority Of sensible people in
this, the cycle of practical common
sense, are ignorant of, or culpably negll-
gent in, the practice of the technique of
breathing. Four fifths OF the race do
:. not breathe properly once in a hours.
"How many educated mothers
though they may be college graduates
bethink themselves of the unpleasant
fact that they carry about with them
daily and allow to remain in their child
ren's lungs a quantity, more or less IN
volume, of foul, unchanged air? Ply
siologists show, and physicians will tell
yOu-with carelessness that is strange
when one considers the gravity of the
circumstance-tha there is always in
the lungs what is known technically as
'residuary air. furthermore, that seven
deep, deliberate respirations are neces-
sary to expe this residaum and to sup
ply its place with fresh air"
Besides the benefit ofreceiving pure
air into the lungs. there is great benefit
to be derived from the Strengthening Of
the muscles gained by deep breathing.
The singer above all others must
strengthen the muscles OF the diaphragm
in order to properly control the breath
and the voice. The most important ele-
ment in voice culture both for singing
and speaking is proper breathing and
control of breath The best teachers in
sst that pupils shall take breathing ex-
ercises daily for at least five minutes at
time Great results may be accom-
plished both in improving the health
and in improving the voice, by regular,
faithful practice of deep breathing.
Even dyspepsia may often be cured by
this method, strengthening of the mus

Keen Observers Believe Lord Rob

kings relief; from Bloemfontein and
Natal there are apparently no Sc
riOus developments and public in
terest remains centered in Col. Baden
POwell's force, undistracted by events
of greater military Importance. How
ever, it appears likely that the con-
verging Of the troops towards MAIZE
king indicates a much more serious
purpose than merely its relief. Judg-
ing from Lord Methuen's presence
at Warrentown and the character of
the near by passage of the vaal at
Fourteen Streams, keen observers be-
lieye that Lord Roberts meditates an
advance in force on Pretoria by way
of Rustenburg. This might start
either from Fourteen Streams or
Klerksdorp, and would probably coin
eide with an advance via Bloemfontein
and Natal.
Thus Lord Methuen may be given
the chance to redeem his reputation

The British officers now in Pretoria
have been removed from the prison
where Winston Chucrhill left them to
new quarters in the outskirts of the
town under Daspoort ridge. The rea-
sons for this change are not stated but
it is evident that Gen. Roberts army
will have to expose a large number of
British prisoners to exceptional
danger when Pretoria is invested.

THE OLD UNaUIET LONGING

1t comes to me often in silence,
When my lamp is burning low;
When the black, uncertain shadows
Seem wreaths of long ago;
Always with throbbing heartache
That thrills each pulsing vein,
Comes the old unquiet longing
For the peace of home again.
Outside of my close barred prison,
In the worlds loud crash and din,
Slowly the autumn shadows
Come drifting, drifting in;
Sobbing, the night wind murmurs
To the splash of the autumn rain
How | long for the loving greeting
When | reach home again

MAJOR GREENoUGH PROTESTS.
Washington Barracks Commander
Complains of N Brick Company.

Major C. G. Greenough, post commander
at the Washington Barracks, recently
wrote to the Commissioners requesting
that John Miller & Co. be enjcined from
dumping clay and brick on P Street south
west from the canal 10 Delaware Avenue.
In his letter Majo. Greenough says:
II have the .:onor to report that
Street. from the canal to Delaware Ave
nue.. along the reservation wall of Wash
ington Barracks. is used by brick yard
owned by John Miller d Co. as dumping
ground for clay and refuse brick, while
fatboats and scows are nearly always SO
moored as to enable persons to enter and
to leave the reservation freely, to the
great detriment of the reservation post.
las all this has been a ong-standing
nuisance, apart from being unsightly. l re-
quest that the brick owners be enjoined
from such misuse of the street and avenue
and from mooring boats, except opposite
their own property. Also that they be re-
CURED to remove the heaps OF clay from P
Street"
Major Greenough in closing his letter
alludes to former offer by him to allow
the dumping Of clean refuse on the low
grounds of the reservation.
BY vote of the Commissioners the re-
quest of Major Greenough has been for
warded to the Superintendent of Police for
action in the premises

raigned in the Police Court this morning,

Eric Street Residents Must Connect
Their Premises With Sewers.
John p. Richie. of Ninth and Erie
Streets northwest. has written to the Com
missioners. asking that a notice served
upon him by the Health Department be not
enforced, as matters would not be remedied
thereby. In his letter Mr. Richie says:
Complaint having been made to the
Health Once by Mr. Grimm and myself
regarding ditch of stagnant water In Erie
Street, Brightwood Park, which was fed
BY waste water from premises in Erie
Street, notices were served on the Erie
Street people and myself to connect our
premises with the nearest sewer as rem
edy for the nuisance complained Of and for
which ny premises are not in the least re-
sponsible. as q reinspection will readily
show.
II would therefore respectfully ask that
such actisH be taken as will relieve me for
the time being Of mourning the great ex-
pense OF doing the work implied In said
notice, and which in no degree would abate
the nuisance complained Of
At the request of the Commissioners. DR..
William C. Woodward. the Health Officer,
has Investigated the matter and now re-
ports as follows: THE act of May 10.
1896, requires premises having sewer and
water facilities available to be connected
Herewith. The act of January 25, 1885,
forbids the maintenance Of privies on such
premises. The question whether the houses
located at the northeast and the southeast
corners Of Ninth and Erie Streets are or
are not, contributing 10 the nuisance COM
planned OF is immaterial. As a matter Of
fact, however, the premises occupied by
Mr.. Richie are creating nuisance in
Ninth Street similar to that Of which he
complains In Erie Street, and the nuisance
SO created viii be abated by the improve
ments contemplated in the notice which has
been served upon him
Il respectfully recommend that Mr.
Richie be advised that it will be neces-
sary for him to connect his property with |
the public sewer and water main, as di- |
rected in the notice served upon him.
The Recommendation of the Fealth Of |
deer has been approved by Mr.. Macfarland.
