The practice Of reading aloud at reg
ular intervals is Of great benefit to any
one. affected with a chest complaint.
In all cases of lung trouble it is impor-
tant to indulge in those exercises by
which the chest is In part filed or emp
tied Of air, and reading aloud. singing
and whistling are three of those exer-
cises.
There are many who cannot sing,
and we do not expect the fair sex to-
whistle, but reading aloud can be prac-
ticed by all. Care must be taken not
to overdo it, Of course, and the body.

the chest to have free play. n
Reading aloud. If we pay attention
TO what we are doing. will not only
be beneficial from the standpoint Of
health, but will also have the effect Of
making us better speakers by teaching
us proper modulations of the voice and
by increasing our knowledge.
This is where it has the advantage
over whistling and singing.

The Breton Peasant.

in Catholic Brittany In the eyes OF
the Breton peasants and fishermen the
Englishman is the enemy with whom
they have fought battles and will fight
them again.
That is to say, the Englishman
stands for the typical sailor of: aGman-

will fight when the time comes for

Forty Cents Almost. the Cause Of a
CATASTROPHE.
Before Mrs. Bromley was married
she scoffed at the misguided girls and
women who kept personal accounts.
Her argument was that if you know
how much money you had and 1t was
all gone what was the use of piling on
The anguish by having your folly and
extravaganza in black and white to
stare you in the face. especially as you
had no more money at the end of the
month than you had without an ac-
count book?
But since she has been running a
house she has achieved not one but
nearly a dozen account books. There
is one devoted to the grocery man. an
other to the butcher, personal accounts
take a third, and SO on till she spends

her that they shall come out even, and
so there was woe last month when 40
cents refused to be accounted for. She
and Mr.. BROMLEY had grave and
lengthy discussion over the missing 40.
Each accused the other Of frivoling the
sum away and neglecting to enter it on
the proper book, 'Sundries." Mr..
RrowIey insisted strenuougly he was
not guilty. Mrs. Bromley looked pain

II we wish an accurate measure OF
the ceDtury's progress, we must answer
these two questions:
What was the condition OF the aver
age American 100 years ago?
What is the condition of the average
American today2
To get at the truth OF progress we
must put great fortunes, great isolated
mental achievements, great depths Of
poverty, great Isolated crimes, In their
proper perspective. We must hunt out
the misdle American. the average
American, and compare him with the
average American of the year 1901,
slaves excluded, says the New York
World. The average American Of 100
years ago lived in a miserable and
squalld hamlet Of about 900 inhabit-
ants, a collection Of log huts, isolated
from the rest OF the world by incon-
ceiyably bad roads, completely shut in
all winter long. lie was a combination
OF farm hand and artisan, doing the
coarsest work, toillng at least 10 hours
a day.
The average American OF today is
citizen Of town of about 1000 inhaD-
itants situated near c,ty and conne-t
ed with IL by a railroad. He is n skilled
laborer, owning a srnall piece of culti-
waited ground upon which stands a
comfortable cottage. He works not
more than eight hours a day. and tools
enable him to work not only infinitely
better but also n good deal more easily
than did his predecessor of the year
1901.
Let us take up these two Americans
under the several heads that describe
conditions:

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 20. =
United States Attorney Il. p.
Soper of the Northern district OF
Indian Territory has been in
Washington several days urging
the department of justice to insist
upon legislation at this session OF
congress applying the laws reiat'
ing TO the fees OF federal marshals
to Indian Territory. Under the
decision of the comptroller OF the
treasury, rendered in October. the
marshals in Indian Territory are
under heavy expenses in making
arrests of criminals The Arkan
sas laws, under.the decision of the
comptroller of the treasury, being
applicable to Indian Territory. a
deputy United States marshal can
only receive fifty cent fee for
arresting a criminal in one OF the
most remote sections of the Terri
tory and taking him to the federal
Jail at Muskogee, a distance of $50
miles In addition to this, under
the opinion of the comptroller, he
must pay the railroad fare of him
self aud the prisoner to Muskogee,
and his own fare back from the
place which he started. The re-
suit has been that more than $40,
600 of the accounts of the three
marshals in Indian Territory have
been held up by the auditor for
the department of justice, await
ing legislation. Unless some ac
tion is taken by congress more
than $3.50, 900 of the accounts of
the marshais in Indian Territory,
which have been approved and
paid, will be chargeable against
them. Every marshal in Indian
Territory has already secured from
the government, illegally, under
the eomptroller's decision, more
money for expenses of his deputies
than their salaries during their en-
tire term will amount to.
