''The late Coils P. Huntington was an
easy man to interview" said an old re-
porter, "but at the same time he was
exceedingly cautious and never talked at

was in San Francisco. I was sent to
ask him about some railroad connections
that he was supposed to have in contem-

into his private Office I found him seated
at table debating letters to couple of
stenographers.

ART OF BREATHING PROPERLY.
Few People Understand the Philos-
Ophy of Respiration.

~" SoUAc tne EhAAOb-
Ophy of Respiration.
1T may seem strange enough" said
doctor the other day, but really over 90
per cent of the population do not know
how to breathe. Nature kindly enough
adapts herself to imperfect methods of
respiration, as she adapts herself to the
unnatural quantities Of tea. coffee or
alcohol a man floods his system with dur
ing his lifetime, but all the same she does
not approve. Why, one Of the first things
an actor or singer has to do Is to begin
20 learn how to breathe before he can
learn how to produce the voice properly.
The first point is to fill the lungs. Very
few people take the trouble to do that.
As a rule. they distend them until the
lungs are about three-Quarters full, and
then they stop, leaving the base Of the
lungs unemployed and naturally ready
Tor any mischief, like most idle things or
persons.
eff people would only take the trouble
% breathe properly, consumption would
no longer be heard of. Why is exercise
30 beneficial? Simply because in run
ming, rowing or cycling people are obliged
to I'LL their lungs to their utmost capac-
ity to breathe-in short, as nature meant
them to breathe. l have frequently rec
commended those whose business will not
permit of any outdoor exercise to prac-
tice breathing for an hour in the morn
ing and at night. Exercise is not ne
cessity; breathing properly is. How to
go about it: Watch an infant lying on
Its back if you want to see breathing
done as it ought to be, or if you have got
out of the habit Of proper respiration
one of the first points to remember in
learning to breathe is to keep your Shout
ders down. They are inclined to go up
long before the lungs are filed. Another
part is to get control over your lungs.
Fill them slowly, lying on your back il
possible and feeling them fill; then emp
ty them ut will. sometimes quickly, some
times slowly. Unless the mind has con-
troll of the muscles which distend and
empty the lungs. then il is no use trying
to breathe. An hours practice daily will
do you more good than all the gymna-
Sums in the world. Yet breathing is
undoubtedly lost art, and if we are to
remain a healthy nation it must be recov-
ered,"-BoSton TRANSCRIPT
