has some stringent regulations. If
you receive a letter from friend on
which the stamp is not cancelled it is
against specific statute for you to
pluck off the stamp and use it again.
There are several kinds of vigorous
language which you cannot transmit
by letter.
While one may not touch a mail
pouch, it is different with a letter
which carrier has delivered at the
address on the envelope. Dropping
the letter at the place marked, the
carrier absolves his Government from
any other responsibility, and if after
the letter has been 50 delivered another
person takes it and opens it there is no
recourse through the Post Office De
partment.
Carrying concealed deadly weapons
almos: universally is against the pro-
visions of both State statutes and city
ordinances. 1t has been questioned,
however, as to just what constitutes
the concealing of a weapon. It has
been contended that, the carrying of
such weapon in the pocket where a
person carries everything of the kind
and size, is not concealing it-that it
is carrying lt-that it is carrying it in
the most covenient and natural place.
Concealing weapon, on the 9th
er hand, might be the hiding Of a
knife up ones sleeve Or tucking a re-
volver into ones breast or boot.
In this connection there is queer
fact concerning the carrying Of a re-
volver in Chicago. If a man has one
IN bis pocket and is arrested incident
ally on suspicion he is locked up and
assessed the usual fine; if he chances
to be carrying one and is attacked by
thugs he may use the weapon, killing
one OR two of his assailants, and not
even be arrested Chicago Tribune.
HOW LEARN TO BREATHE
What on earth are trying to do,
Jim?' a4
The man to whom the question was
addressed was standing in the center
of the gymnasium clad in the scanty
apparel affected by athletes when at
work. His heels were close together,
his arms were equally close to his
sides, the palms of his hands facing
backward. Without replying he slow
ly raised his hands upward and for
ward until they were on parallel lines
and at full ledgth above his head.
Then he lifted himself until he stood
on the tips of his toes, holding his
breath the while. Just as slowly and
deliberately he resumed his original
position, and as he did so replied to the
question. g
II am learning to breathe?" said he.
"Why, l thought that everybody did
that during the first few seconds OF
existence" s.
"Not by any means, my boy, as you
will find out if you go into training
under the instruction of a competent
teacher. Not one man in hundred
knows how to breathe properly-that is
to fill the lungs to their utmost capacity
and at the same time to control the
muscles so as to make it easy to do.
What have just been doing is one Of
the movements by which the thorax is
developed. Others there are for the
purpose of strengthening the abdominal
muscles, prime necessity to enable
one to breathe correctly. These exer-
rlsls, if kept up, not only increase the
power to breathe deeply and freely,
but they add to your ability to expand
the chest, the stoop caused by round
shoulders is cured and ones figure and
general health are vastly benefited.
Even if there is no intention of becOm-
ing an athlete, every man, woman and
child ought to learn these movements
and practice them on general princi-
ples."
And he went on with his work,
while his friend made a mental resolu.
