 Anybody who possesses a mattress car carry out this course at home, and se- cure health and beauty at the same time The latter, you know, is largely the re- suit Of the first. If you are not particu- lar about your bones you may be able to do without the mattress, but one girl who tried her first lesson on the bare floor reports that she counted every bone in her body next day. although af- ter little practice she preferred the floor alone. It is best for the beginner to use the mattress and, if she intends to do away with 1t later on. to grow hardened by degrees.
 There must be no corset or corset waist taking part in these exercises. Cloth ing must be as loose as possible, If you have not gymnasium suit wear the nearest approach to one that your own wardrobe offers. You must be en- tirely free above and below the waist hne-above, for the purpose of deep breathing; below, for the purpose of free kicking.
 Begin by lying fiat on your back on the mattress and resting. If you don't know how to rest it's time to learn Fix tend your legs perfectl9 straight Let your arms lie loosely beside you. Relax every muscle in your body from ton to toe. Close your eyes as if you were go- ing to sleep. This, by the way. is an excellent thing to do in many kinds of physical culture. Few women realize that their eyes work by means of mus cles just s=mEch as other parts of her body, and that those muscles need rest just as much as others. They can't get it while you are looking about the world
 Begin the chest breathing Lay the hands lightly on the chest, inhale while you slowly count four and exhale for the same count The hands will tell you whether the chest is doing the breath ing as you order it to do. They should find tn / selves raised and lowered, more alA more with practice. Half dozen of these deep breaths will do to begin with.
 Now for the first exercise. Let the arms rest easily on the mattress Draw up the right knee until 1t touches the chest. At this point can hear you squealing and panting and gasping, T can't.
 You can before long. Don't ask if you are taken for a professional contort:on- ist. Persevere.

You can vary thjs by changing the direction of the motion. It is very tlring when done with both legs extended and held closely together. but 1t is of great value in developing the hips.

They will be very tiring at first. but you must persist in going through them every day. Make a resolution that you won't eat your breakfast until you have done this religiously, and again, don't go to bed at night until you have TO- peated the process. Do you remember what I wrote about the little ball that the Japanese girls use instead of mas sage? That not only rounds out thin necks. but reduces fieshy ones. Try 1t.

1 Nobody knew anything about La Mar chesa, unless, perhaps, 1t was the Italian consul, who introduced her to a certain circle Of his acquaintances. She lived In magnificent style, she was beautiful, ac- complished and delightfuIIy witty, Who could ask more? Not Bravien certainly.
 One or two of Bravien's intimates thought first to warn him against the growing infatuation. They asked him what he knew about her antecedents Not blamed thing" replied Bravien and l don't care a continental-and wouldn't thank anybody for telling me Her title may be quite mystical. as YOU | insinuate, but she looks the part.

 It was nearly a year after that thai Bravien sat in La Marchesa's little bou. doir with the air of man thoroughly al home there. LaMarchesa in a ravishine negligee was reclining on an ottoman with handkerchief pressed against he: cheek. Her beauty was undeniabIe and her attitude one of voluptuous grace. Bravien looked at her with glowing eyes and stretching out a hand touched ca ressingly the daintily formed ankle dis played beneath a tumbled cloud of faces.

Why Little Folks Are Big Eaters.

It has been laid down as a physiologi- cal rulo that the requirements of adult diet depend not on the weight of the eater, but on the extent of his bodily sur face. In the case of children this rule is further modified. An infant may weigh but it's surface is more than one-seventh as great As the first requirement. of the infants food is to replace the heat that is continually being lost by radiation from all parts of the body, the latter fraction determines the needed proPor- ton of nourishment rather than the for mer. But in the case of a growing child food is also needed to supply the increase of bodily weight. In all. an infants ra- tion may be five times as much as would be estimated from it's actual weight alone.

He did not learn of the death of Queen Vic toria for eighteen months after it's occur renee. when a stoFm-tossed whaIer en- tered the region and imparted to him the news In July, 1902. This devoted cleric has established himself in that far-ofT country in order to bring to the pagan Esquimaus the blessings of the Chris tian faith; but the extremes to which man will go in the pursuit of wealth are illustrated by the fact that there are two whaling stations in the same region. the principals of which.

 Cumberland Sound is 250 miles north of Hudson Strait, and is one of the most desolate, chserless regions in the world. Two whaling stations are established there at KeklSeFton and Blackhead and the oshng is done by the Esquimaus. These, through intercourse with civilized men and the use of civilized weapons, have quite lost their native art of killing the leviathans with the primitive har- poons of bone and flint which their an- cestors hurled with stout arms from sealslxin kayaks. tiFing out the great creatures by inflated skin bouys attached to ropes of walrus hide.
 Instead. the Esquimaus of today pur- sue the hunt after the civilized fashion in stout wooden boats, with steel har- pOons and lines of hemp--and the indus try pays chiefly because such labor Is so cheap, being paid for in goods and neces- saries of life. As has been the experi-
