TRUE ART OF BREATHING.

Easy Way in which Some Diseases Can
he Cured.
1t is perhaps one of the signs of the
times to those alert for indications
that the art of breathing has become
more and more subject OF attention.
Oculists as we'll as Psychologists go
deeply into it's study in way hardly
to be touched upon here. Physicians
have cured aggravated cases of insom-
mia by long-drawn, regular breaths;
fever-stricken patients have been
quieted, stubborn forms of indigestion
made to disappear.
A tendency to consumption may be
overcome, as some authority has with
in the last few years clearly demon
strated, by exercise in breathing. Sea-
sickness. too, may be surmounted. and
the victim of hypnotic influence taught
to withstand the force of an energy di-
rected against him. s@.
There is a famous physician in Mu-
nich who has written an extensive
work upon the subject of breathing.
He has besides formulated system by
which asthmatic patients are made to
walk without losing breath and cured.
At Meran, in the Austrian Tyrol. his
patients (almost every royal house of
Europe is represented) are put through
a certain system of breathing and
walking The mountain paths are all
marked off with stakes of different col
ors, indicating the number of minutes
in which patient must walk the given
distance the breathing and walking
being in time together As the cure
progresses the ascents are made steep
er and steeper.

SHAW is CRITICIZED.
His Speech at Pittsbure Stirs Up the
London Globe.

IT'S 0PeeCH dI FitISUuT9 StlTS Up inc
London Globe.
London, April 29.-The speech of the
United States Secretary of the Treas
ury. Mr.. Shaw. at Pittsburg, at the
banquet, April 18th. in celebration of
the late General Grants birthday, has
thus far passed unnoticed by the Lon
don press with the exception of the
Globe, which is exceedingly wrathy at
such responsible politician tickling
the ears of groundlings with speech
full of menace to Americas only friend
among the powers of Europe
After quoting the speech, the Globe
continues: I'VE are not greatly con-
cerned either for the threat or the
crude vulgarity which causes Mr.. Shaw
TO apply it to a particular power: but,
what impresses US with a sense of
American decadence, is the manner in
which the absurd speech was received.
Were an English minister of Mr.. Shaw's
position to make similar allusion to
a foreign power all the chancellories
of Europe would be .convulsed. But
England heeds it not whit. and the
rest of the world shrugs its shoulders
and talks about diplomacy in shirt
sleeves -

to simplify the proceedings. He was
willing to admit General Smith gave
instructions to Major Waller to kill

killed capable Of bearing arms and
that he did specify all over ten years
of age, as the Samar Joys of that age
were equally as dangerous as their

Manila. April es.-The trial by

do so--in fact, ne never felt more wide
awake In al his life. s
Surprising this random guess Of HIS
hit the mark, did these men have any
intention OF doing him bodily injury?
II they were In the employ OF the
countess 1t was not to be presumed
that they would seek his life. though
his personal liberty might be in dan
ger.
Anything to keep him from seeking
an interview with the German military
authorities at Berlin, to whom he
might be tempted to unbosom himself,
Paul laughed softly to himself when
he found to what serious point his
thoughts were carrying him.
Nevertheless, 1t was characteristic Of
him to take all possible precautions.
And oven while he thus chuckled In
derision at his alarming suspicious, his
hand unconsciously strayed to the
pocket where he kept small but serv-
iceable repeater, as II to make sure
that this faithful friend was within
reach.
To the ordinary mind there is con-
siderable satisfaction in the prospect of
being able to meet even desperate
emergency, and the fact Of his being
armed made Paul reckless of conse-
quences, even though the others were
three to one.
Since sleep refused to come, and his
limbs grew cramped, crouched as he
was in corner Of the compartment,
Paul decided to get out at the next sta
ton and have little saunter up and
down.
No sooner did he make move than
his fellow tourists also aroused them
selves ua
The old soldier yawned, the mer-
chant threw aside the travelling rug
which the cool night air had caused
him to pull around his body, while the
third traveller stretched his arms and
proceeded to once more smoke his big
pipe.
Paul could not but notice this fact.
1t caused him to fully decide with
reference to stroll at the next sta-
ton.
At the same time he meant to keep
close to the train so as to give them
no opportunity for foul work OF any
sort
Sure enough, when the guard opened
the door of the compartment, stating
that they had had about five minutes
at the station, the whole of them
trooped out after Paul.
This convinced him more than ever
that his surmise could hardly have
been such a wild one after all.
And who could say that ere Berlin
was reached he might not be glad he
was armed?

CONDEMNED IN MISSOURI AND COW.
ToeCATeO IN NEW YORK.

FooCATe0 IN NEW iOHk.
Judge Clarke Of g. Louis has con-
victed and nned heavily number Of
gyoeers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment OF New York seized quantity
Of stun being sold for baking powder,
which they found Was made from
alum mixed with ground rock. and
dumped 1t into the river.
The Health Authorities are thus
taking effective means to prevent the
introduction into our markets OF In
furious substitutes IN place OF whole
some baking powders.
A alum costs only two cents .
pound, there 10 great temptation for
those manufacturers who make sub
stitutes and imitation goods, to use
It. Alum baking powders can be de.
tected by the health authorities by
chemical analysis, but the ordinary
housekeeper, whose assistance IN pro-
Secting the health Of the people Is i'm
oortant, cannot make chemical ex-
animation. She may easily know the
alum powders, however, from the fact
that they are sold at from ten to
twenty cents for pound can. or
that some prize-like spoon or
glass, or piece Of crockery, or wooden
vare-is given with the powder as an
inducement.
AS the people continue to realize the
Importance OF this subject and con-
sumers insist on having baking pow
der OF established name and charac-
ter. and as the health authorities con-
tinue their vigorous crusades, the
alum danger will, it Is hoped. finally
be driven from our homes.
