Beauty and Breathing.


Correct breathing is the first art to culti-
vate in the pursuit of beauty. just as it is
the first step toward Improvement in health.
AS a woman breathes, SO she is; for the
poise Of the chest is the keynote to the
whole figure. When the chest is in proper
position the fine points of artistic wearing
apparel and all the little frlls of fashion
are seen to best advantage. Even humble
materials assume certain elegance hither-
to unknown. But il 1t Is carried badly the
figure drops and falls into ugly angles.
Nothing sets well; no garment seems right.
1t is always wrong to make the bone struc-
ture do most of the work in keeping the
body upright. The muscles should hold It
in position. otherwise grace is out OF the
question, and good health difficult. To
breathe correctly keep the chest up, out,
forward, as if pulled up by button. Keep
the chin, the lips, the chest, on a line.
Hold the shoulders on line with the hips.
The observance of these directions will in
sure to golf skirts and rainy-day costumes
real dignity and picturesque effect.
Breathe upward and outward, as IL about
to fly, drawing in the air with slow, deep
breaths, and letting 1t out gently. This
conscious deep breathing repeated ten or
twenty times at intervals during the day
tends to expand the chest permanently, to
give 1t classic ,poise and style. Repeated
forty times, 1t is said to be cure for
worry.

THE QUEENS TRAIN BEARERS.
Two Pretty Little ChfIdren's Part i'm
the Coronation.
From a London Dispatch.

from Lonucn Dlkpatch.
All conversation here ultimately turns to
the kings coronation. One of the latest
and most interesting details of that royal
spectacle is the selection of the two little
daughters of Lord Burghclere, pronounced
"Burclair." to attend Queen Alexandra at
the ceremony. They will serve in the ca
pacity Of train bearers, and two prettier
children for the distinguished task could
not be found In all England.
The Ladies Juliet and Althea Gardner,
for their father is better known as Mr..
Herbert Gardner than as Lord Burghclere,
are especial favorites of the queen. She is
fond of having them around her. and IL was
this desire, together with her eagerness to
delight the childish mind. that dictated
their selection for posts of honor In the
coronation procession. #.

Coronation echoes are heard from all di-
rections. We read of children who have
been born In these early days of coronation
year being named Coronius and Corona.

Geese, Swan and Ducks.

In the days before Deweys guns began
their fusillade against the insurgent posi-
tions about Manila bay thousands of wild
geese and wild ducks could be seen daily.
Along the Pasig these fowls congregated in
myriads; and about Laguna de Bal, the
largest lake on Luzon located some fifteen
miles up the PaSig from Manila, the water
at times was black with many varieties OF
water fowl The tipol, a species Of crane,
which stands five feet high, probably the
largest water fowl to be found in the
Islands, was in evidence about the lake by
the hundreds. There were great focks of
wild geese and swan OF the wild duck
family there seemed to be every represen-
tative present. There were canvasbacks,
mallards redheads and all the smaller men,
bers of the duck genus. There were some
varieties never seen about our northern
lakes, but none of the specimens bagged by
sportsmen in this latitude seemed to be alb
sent. Those were in the days before our
troops fought their way inch by inch up to
the Laguna de Bal country, and before our
artillery and small arms made life, even
for the water fowl, very uncertain. Before
the insurrection. and when the first troops
reached the lake on the advance to the
campaigns in the jungle, many of our SOL
diers enjoyed the sport of duck shooting
month after the advance of our army the
great fiocks of water fowl had disappeared
nor did they return until long afterward
when the sound of battle had left the
country about the lake
The sportsman who chances to try his
luck in the Philippines can find plenty of
good shooting at wild pigeons and wild
doves; and there are loriots. woodcock and
many specimens of magpie. A trip through
| a Philippine jungle. even In times of peace.
| is one never to be forgotten. There is al
| ways something new and interesting pass
| ing before the eyes. and while one is al
| ways seeing some kind Of animal life, he
| Is never just certain whether the next
| step forward will not bring to view an i'm
| mense anaconda, ferocious boar, a great
I antler. or some other Of the great animal

THE FUTURE OF SOCIETY.
Humanitarianism a Feature of Our
Generation.

Generation.
From Lady's Realm.
We seem to have reached the acme Of
luxury, enjoyment and pleasure. In all mat
ters pertaining to our everyday life there
is spirit Of self-indulgence; we dress ex-
pensively. we live extravagantly. and our
life is pursuit Of pleasure and amuse-
ment With this nualiica ion, however, 1t
must be admitted that there is also a sense
of responsibility, a deep feeling Of charity
and fervent desire to mitigate the suffer-
ings Of the poor.
The luxury and extravaganza which we
see on all sides have stimulated the senti-
ment OF humantarianism, which is a strong
characteristic Of our day. and we witness
meeting and cooperating on this one point.
1t Is easy enough to inveigh against the
riches, luxury and ease of our time to de-
wise remedies for the destruction of the
causes which pessimists declare are sap
ping our manhood and our moral sense.
and to picture new life in which we shall
go back to the Spartan simplicity of the
past. Such remedies are useless in combat

VIEWS OF THE COMMISSIONERS RE.
GARDING STREET MATTERS.
Cost of the Extension of Certain
ThorOughfares-$71, 800 for Street
Fifty Feet Wide.

Col. John Biddle, the Engineer Comnts
sioner, has recommended to his associates
the outline of report to be made To the
Senate District committee on the bill "to
provide for the opening of Elm street north
from 5th to 7th streets, and for the onen
ing of Wilson street north from 9th to 7th.
and for the opening Of 9th street north from
Spruce to Pomeroy Streets
The report states that the estimated cost
of the extension Is ST. 600 for q street fifty
feet wide 1t is further stated that the
motive for opening these streets is to make
available for building purposes the tract of
land through which they lead In their
view, therefore. the proposed Improvement
would be In the nature Of a local benefit

the Commissioners say that the award of
the Jury or condemnation, amounting to
$5,239.oS made for certain condemned land
was assessed in toto on the adjoining prop
erty. lA'p
The Chief Expense.
The Commissioners call attention to the
fact that the chief cost of the extensions
would be the purchase of the land the
grading amounting to very little, and say
that while the opening of this tract for set
tlement is desirable, it does not seem
proper, In view of the state of the finances
OF the District. to recommend the spending
OF the large sum of money for the opening
or these streets and the Commissioners a re
agreed that If 1t is desired by the owners
to have them opened, the greater part #
not all of the land for the extensions
should be donated to the District.
LIE Droit Avenue,
The Commissioners have also decided
/, upon report on Senate bill 1887 provilins
for the extension of LIE Droit avenue. The
| cost OF the extension Is estimated at SAT
430. The Commissioners will state thar thi,
| extension is Of considerable local ,rnpor
tance, because 1t would furnish an o,,tle
for several cul-de-sacs formed by the dear

that would be used for through travel Il

| The Division of Cost.
The bill provides that the entire cost O

sioners state that they are opposed to thi
arrangement, and If the expenses wer
