The Original Language.

According to the Bible, one language
was spoken by all races until the Con
fusion of tongues" Following Biblical
tradition this language must have been
Hebrew, assumed also to have been
the language Of Adam and Eve. An
other theory had 1t that Hebrew, Ara
bic and Chaldee were dialects Of the
original tongue. The Perslans claim
that there were three primitive Ian
guages, Arabic, the tongue used by
Satan in addressing Eve; Persian, the
language spoken by Adam and Eve,
and Turkish, the speech used by the
archangel when he drove them out Of
paradise. This would leave Persian as
the tongue of primitive humanity. In
olden days many ingenious attempts
were made to settle the question by
excluding children from all human In
tercourse and observing the result In
the means Of communication growing
up between them. Science has no an
swer to give.-New York Mail.

The Horne In Action.

Did you ever think. says horse
man, how fast horse In 2:2O gait
moves his feet? When horse Is trot-
ting a 2::2O gait his feet move little
faster than mile In ITO. AS his
body Is moving at 2:20. and as each Of
his feet when in contact with the
ground is stationary and then Is picked
up and moved forward to take the next
step, the foot must move as much fast
er than the body as to make the step,
which is over twice rs fast. Now, the
action is: The foot is at rest upon the
ground and is raised some one or two
feet high, then forced forward nearly
the full length Of the leg, then lowered
to the ground and Is at rest for nearly
two-thirds Of the time that the next
step is being taken. The time, nearly
two-thirds, think, is too long, but 1t
is from one-half to two-thirds Of the
next step.-American Cultivator.

Deep Breathing.

Deep breathing can be learned by
everybody, 1t is difficult at first, but
becomes second nature after while.
And it should be practiced constantly,
for it plays very important part IN
beauty's programme.
It is claimed that people who breathe
naturally always breathe deeply. The
Indian squaw who has never known q
band around her waist breathes deeply.
So does the little baby whose lungs have
never been cramped. So does every
human being until the time comes when
the waist is compressed and the body
dwarfed.
Deep breathing will reduce the weight
if one is fat and it will add flesh If one Is
thin. 1t is the greatest known equalizer.
1t puts one in prime condition and one
will. soon be developed normally. In a
short time one will be of correct weight
for ones height and ones complexion
will be improved.
Before trying deep breathing be sure
that the atmosphere is good. The air
should be free and pure all the time.
There should be no useless bric-a-brac
around. There should be no velvet OF
moth producing hangings. There should
be nothing in the room, specially the
sleeping room, that cannot be shaken
out every day, or at least once week.
The result of sleeping in room free
of small articles soon becomes apparent
in the health and complexion of the oc-
cupant. The lungs breathe good ali
free from microbes and there is plenty
of breathing space. The rooms are not
cluttered up.
To get the best results, sleeping OF
waking, have good clear, pure air, and
learn to breathe deeply.
To breathe deeply study the art Of fill.

throw back the shoulders and breathe,
The process is called abdominal breath.
ing, and is taught in all the gymnasiums'
In walking be sure to practice deep
breathing. Draw in a long, deep breath
Exhale slowly while walking. One car
walk four or five steps while one is ex'
haling, and four or five steps more while
one is drawing in the breath. Practice
this and it will become second nature.
Practice deep breathing every day
Loosen the clothing, stand erect, throw
back the shoulders and inhale full
deep breath. Try to take ten deeI
breaths or long breaths as they are called
Here are the three positions for prac
ticing deep breathing. Stand erect with
both heels together. Place one hano
upon the chest and the other hand upor
the middle of the back. Take a long
deep breath.
Stand erect with both heels together
and place both hands low upon the chest
Draw ten long, deep breaths.
The third position is this. Stand erect
with both hands upon the hips, throw
back the shoulders and take ten long
deep breaths. Begin at the beginning
and try deep breathing over again, going
through with the three positions, ont
after the other, breathing deeply all th'
while.
When deep breathing is painful, a.
often happens, then there is some
trouble. It may be organic trouble or i
may be merely muscular difficulty. II
either case it should be treated.-Mc
Calls.
