CORRECT BREATHING.
In Ordinary Life Few People Breathe

In Ordinary Life Few People Breathe
az They Should.
.Do you know how to breathe?'
asked a dyspeptic-looking man of his
companion, whose full, forid face de-
noted jolly nature. In fact, should
ask how long it has been since you
drew your breath" The fat-faced man
moved nervously and cast suspicious
glance at his friend. He was about to
reply when he was interrupted again.
1.-THE truth is you haven't breathed in
weeks, perhaps months, and I can
prove it. Don't be alarmed; do not
intend to hold an autopsy on you, and
the coroner will not be called in to
furnish evidence of what I say.
Breathing is something that very few
people do. It is not a universal habit
Less than per cent of people breathe
as they should. Even larger per
cent of tomato plants or oak trees
breathe in the way that they should
than men. You may demonstrate this
fact to yourself. All that is necessary
Ia to carry out a few simple sugges-
tions which I will make, and consider
well the indications which will be pre-
sented after you have made the ex-
pertinent Breath Is life. The deli
cate organs and still more delicate
muscles which are involved in breath
ing require action as much as do the
biceps or triceps. Lie on your back for
thirty days and observe how weak
the muscles Of the legs and body be
come. They would be shrunken and
fabby and entirely too weak to carry
your weight. They would be impover-
ished. Think not, then, that the more
delicate and sensitive organs and
muscles Of the inner man do not need
exercise. This is given them by
breat thing Now, take a man who has
not exercised his biceps or triceps for
several weeks and let him do SO for
the space Of three minutes. Then OBJ
serve how exhausted he feels. It Is
because the muscles are not used to
such violent action. In the same way
let a man start a violent respiratory
motion and continue it for three min
utes. You will see the most perfect
picture of that tired feeling that you
could imagine. That will be proof
enough that the person who is thus
rendered tired Is not accustomed to
breathiHg. The proof Of the pudding

Habits of the Tailor Bird.

This wonderful bird lives in India
1t has beak shaped very much like
shoemaker's awl. The little bird
which is yellow in color and only three
inches long, says the Philadelphia
Ledger, derives its name from the way
In which 1t makes it's nest. 1t Sc.
lects large leaf. hanging from the
end of twig; then it pierces num-
Der of holes along the edge of it with
it's awl-like beak. and then gets the
long fibers of plants, which make ex-
cellent thread, and carefully sews the
edges together like a purse or a bag,
using it's bill for a needle to carry the
thread through. The ends of the
thread are knotted. to prevent them
from slipping through the leaf. The
stalk end of the leaf is bent and
crushed so as to form a hood over the
opening of the nest. protecting it from
sun and rain.
When the leaf is not large enough
to make the nest, this bright little bird
gets another leaf. pierces it with holes
and pieces the two leaves together.
The interior of the nest Is lined with
cotton and silky grass. making a very
snug and comfortable home for the
little birds. The bird and it's nest full
Of eggs are so very light that they can
be suspended from the end of slen-
der twig.

ash. maple, poplar. willow, locust and
other trees that have a value in the
arts for their timber. Plant the rough
land to trees. The eucalypts are now
grown in the southwestern portion Of
our country more extensively than any
other exotic forest tree.
These trees are originally from Aus
ralia; they are known there under
the name of antlfever trees, as by
their rapid growth and large amount
of foliage they absorb the poisonous
gases Of the swamps, making the air
pure and the climate healthy. In Cal
ifornia, Kansas and Indiana tracts Of
land several thousand acres in area
have been planted with seedlings Of
the eucalyptus rostrata for fuel. rail-
road ties and for windbreaks. On ac-
count of their rapid growth they make
desirable shade trees for the dwelling
and pasture lots. In many parts of
the southwest the >eucalypts are util-
lied to advantage to furnish shade in
pastures. If set along the fences and
along the irrigatng bitches they can
be made to protect the cattle in the
pasture without at any time interfer-
Ing with farm work. Seedlings may
be had from the nurserymen In 100
lots at five cents each. There are
some thirty different varieties, and all
Of them are said to grow equally well

about giving endorsements to any rem

HUNDREDS OF PIANOS RUINED

Flood Caused Loss of 100000 In
Musical Instruments.
More than 500 pianos were totally
ruined In the recent floods in Kansas
City. The piano houses of the city are
busy tearing apart the water-soaked
instruments, saving some Of the hard
ware, and sending the polished wood
to the kindling heaps.
There is no salvage to soaked pi-
ano," said a prominent piano man.
when they get wet up to the keys
they are ruined"
The J. W. Jenkins Music Company
lost two carloads of new pianos that
1ad not been unloaded from the cars.
They were soaked and rendered useless
IN the boxes in which they came from
the factory. Then there were approx
lmately $50 rented pianos in the food.
These are a total loss to the dealers
who had placed them in the various
homes.
A piano is made up Of very delicate
parts. One fne-looking instrument
which had apparently Jared well in the
immersion was all in pieces at the
workshop of the Jenkins Music Com
pany yesterday. 1t did not look to be
q ruin, good only for the scrap heap,
but that was it's announced condition.
The polish on the outer surface was as
fine as ever. All the interior mech
anism was In apparently good shape.
But there were family perceptible
o,~r,ir +ra Of ypSf no
metal. The keys had become swollen
and warped until they were immov-
able.
It Is the intention of the companies
who have damaged pianos to make
some experiments with the better ones
in an effort to find out whether it be
possible to rejUvenate the instruments.
But every piano house in the city has
announced that it will never send out
for sale or hire any Of the instruments
that have been flooded.
The collection Of damaged pianos In
the Kansas City warehouses embraces
instruments from the aristocratic ST.
500 symphony in mahogany to the
humble $3.50 kind in imitation of some
thing which it is not. And they are
all valueless. The salvage is not worth
more than the cost of taking the instru-
ment to pieces.
''The hardware in them" said one of
the men at work wrecking pianos in
the warerooms of f. g. Smith, sis all
that can be saved 1t is worth about
60 cents in each instrument"
The value of pianos destroyed in the
Kansas City flood exceeds $2o0,0Oo.-
