Very Few People Breathe Properly

asked a dpspeptic-looking man Of his
companion, whose full, ford face de-
noted a jolly nature. "In fact, l
should ask how long it has been since
you drew your breath" The fat-fac-
ed man moved nervously and cast a
suspicious glance at his friend. He
was about to reply with a suggestion
that another "bracer" might decide
the point, when he was interrupted
again. THE truth is, you haven't
breathed in weeks, perhaps months,
and l can prove it. Don't be alarmed,
l do not intend to hold an autopsy on
you, and the coroner will not be call
ed in to furnish evidence of what |
say Breathing is something that
very few people do. 1t is not a uni
versal habit. Less than 5 per cent Of
people breathe as they should. Even a
larger per cen of tomato plants or oak
trees breathe in the way that they
should than men. You may demon
strate this fact to yourself. All that
is necessary is to carry out a few
simple suggestions which l will make,
and consider well the indications
which will be presented after you have
made the experiment. Breath is life.
The delicate organs and still more
delicate muscles which are involved in
breathing require action as much as
do the biceps If triceps. Lie on your
back for 80 days and observe how
weak the muscles of the legs and
body become.

The Economical Funeral of Lord Salisbury

So wei were the instructions Of the
late Lord Salisbury carried out that
the cost of his funeral was about $40
$50 less than the maximum limit fix
ed by the statesman for the ~obsequies.
The British press, commenting on the
fact, recalls the funeral Of the late
duke of Westminster, which entailed
an expenditure of s35.
A $35 funeral would be a luxury
only possible to the family of the
richest man in England, yet the great
amount of attention attracted by the
Salisbury funeral is likely to have a
good influence in curbing the tenden-
cy among the very people who can
least afford it to indulge in lavish
expenditure In the post norton hon
ors they bestow on their dead.
Common sense has done much to re-
strain the senseless pomp and display
that was once considered secessary to
the proper burial of a man who, per.
haps, never had the second shirt to
his back in life. The pomp and pano.
ply of woe meant something more
than a figure of speech to the unhap

"They would be shrunken and fab
by and entirely too weak to carry your
weight. They would be impoverish-
ed. Think not, then, that the more
delicate and sensitive organs and mus
cles of the inner-man do not need exer-
else. This is given them by breath
ing. Now, take a nan who has not
exercised his biceps or triceps for sev
eral weeks and let him do so for the
space of three minutes. Then OBJ
serve how exhausted he feels. 1t ID
because the muscles are not used to
such violent action. In the same way
let a nan 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
breath ing. The proof of the pudding
is in the chawing of the bag, as the
cid saw says. Just try this plan once.
Breathe heavily and deeply for two
minutes on rising in the morning and
see what a feeling of exhaustion will
be experienced. Then you will under
stand that very few people breathe as
they should and that much of sickness

1t will probably he news to most
patriotic Americans that the United
States has never had a national an
them, officially speaking, until Satur-
day last, when the navy department
issued an order declaring 1.-The Star

composition is played, all officers and

they are engaged in duty that will not
permit them to do so. AS to the good
taste displayed in selecting "The

a variety of opinions.
The navy department had quite a

choose from, but this did not make Sc

The night was rainy and a fierce
wind was blowing. The Major and his
wife were by the fire in the sitting
ROOM, when there came a heavy tread
upon the porch, but the knock that fell
upon the door was gentle. They knew
who had come, and the door was open
ed for Jim Taylor. Quietly he respond
ed to their greeting. and with both
hands he took off his SLOUGH hat, went
to the fireplace and over the blaze
shook it.
"Put myself in mind of a wet dog"
he said. Didn't think to shake out
side. How are you all getting along?"
He was looking at Mrs. C%ranceford,
but the Major answered him. "In the
same old way. Tilt that cat out of the
rocking-chair and sit down"
"Have you heard of the death of Mrs.
Wash S~anders?" Mrs. Cranceford ask
ed, fearing that the Major might get
ahead of her with this piece of news,
but all along determined that he should
not.
mo, I haven't" he said; but his
want of surprise was not satisfying,
and Mrs. Cranceford said: 81 mean

Shouldn't think she could take time to
be sick long, poor soul"
"She was not in bed more than two
days. 1t was awful, the way she suf-
fered. And all the time Wash was
whining that he couldn't eat anything,
as if anybody cared. l never was so
provoked at a man in my life. I'd like
to know who cares whether he cats
another bite or not. Actually, I believe
he thought the neighbors had come to
sympathize with him instead of to
nurse his wife. And when she was
dead he went about numbering that he
couldn't live but a few days"

In this talk Jim felt not even the
slightest interest. He wanted to talk
about Louise. But not in Mrs. GRANGE
ford's manner nor in her eyes wher
she looked straight at him was there
a hint that Tom had told her that the
girl had been seen. Perhaps the boy
