Hold your head erect, with the chin
well in, so that when you look straight
ahead your glance strikes the floor
about fifteen or twenty feet in front
of you. Take several steps forward
and stand with your heels together
You are now ready for the first exer-
else.
Exercise 1. Lift your arms until
they make horizontal line with your
shoulder Then bring them forward
in front, reaching out as far as you
can so as to pull your shoulders for
ward, but holding the rest of the body
rigid. Next spread back your arms
with a slow, gentle motion as far as
you can-do not let them drop down
any-at the same time filing your
lungs as full of air as possible. DO
this ten times. Then drop your arms
to your sides.
Exercise 2. Lift your arms outward
with an easy, gentle motion up above
your head, reaching as high as you
can, but keeping your heels on the
floor. Then lower them again gently
to the first position. Do this ten
times. In lifting your arms inhaie,
and In lowering exhale.
In both these exercises be careful
that you breathe as directed and hold
your body, except the arms and shout
ders, as in the standing position.
These exercises will develop the mus
cles of your back, chest and shoulders
and will increase your lung capacity
greatly in a short time.
Exercise 8. Place the hands on the
hips. Bend to the right as far as pos
sible; then bend back again and to the
left as far as you can. Do this twenty
times. Do not move by jerks, but
smoothly and not too fast.
Exercise 4. Bend forward as far as
you can, and then backward as far as
you can, with a gentle, even motion.
Do this twenty times.
Exercise 5: Place hands in front of
belt line, finger tips touching. Draw
In air, pressing out abdomen at the
same time. This exercise fills all
parts of the lungs.
Exercise 6. Place hands as in exer-
else s. Draw in full breath, contract
muscles of abdomen and slowly raise
joined hands above the head, pushing
up as high as possible.
Exercise Z. Place the feet apart,
raise the arms and clench the fists,
then breathing deeply. turn the body
from side to side, striking out vigor-
ously with alternate hands.

Irish Harvest taborers.

Some interesting returns have been
published by the department of agri-
culture for Ireland on the subject of
the annual migrations of the Irish
harvest laborers. The yearly influx
into England and Scotland, which has
been going on in much the same way
for at least a couple of centuries is
now not nearly so great as 1t was In
the days of overpopuation in Ireland
before the famine, but this year there
were still nearly $4,000 Irishmen who
adopted the old means of lining their
pockets against the winter. More
than three.quarters of them were from
the province of Connaught, the rest
being Ulster men, and more than half
of them we're from County Mayo.

exercises which, il faithfully used,
would benefit not only boys and girls
but grown-up men and women as we'll
Before describing the exercises it may
be said that their value in developing
muscle cannot be overrated.
There is an unfortunate tendency
in these modern athletic times to turn
boys and girls loose in gymnasiums
and allow them to exercise without
any competent director. AS a conse-
quence many boy makes impossible
the very thing he aims to attain--a
fine physique. He develops some part
of his body disproportionately to the
rest and becomes muscle bound be-
fore he reaches manhood. or he sub
jects his immature body to some VIC
lent exercise that results in strain
from which. he may never fully re-

Do not think that you must have

weights to get strong. Let every boy
remember, for this should appeal es-
pecially to boys, that some of the
strongest men in the world have de-
veloped their great physical power
without the aid OF gymnastic para
phernalia of any kind, but simply by
such simple exercises as l will ex-

Some years ago such man rode

Poor Place for Missionaries.

In the northern Shan states, on the
border of Burma, there is a tribe
called the Wild Was. These people
propitiate with human skulls the de-
mons whom they worship. Outside

are many posts, all in one line, decked
with human skulls, A niche is cut
In the back of each post. with a ledge
on which the skull can rest and grin
through hole in front of 1t. Every
village has dozen and some as many
as a hundred of these head posts
Fresh skulls are in special request at
harvest time and are purchased for
large sums, those of distinguished Wis.
itors being particularly desired. So.

LANGUAGES of the World.

It is estimated that. over 5000 dis

men. A calculating prodigy would be
wanted to compute with exactness
how many separate dialects are in
use. Sixty years ago II was reckoned
that sixty different vocabularies we're
to be found in Brazil, but the actual
number must be far greater, for in
much smaller Mexico the Nahua Ian
guage has broken up into 700 dialects.
There are hundreds in Borneo In
Australia there is no classifying the
complexities. And, generally, the
number of dialects, is in inverse pro.
portion to the intellectual culture of
the population. Assume that only
fifty dialects on the average belong to

sal total of quarter of million lin

In all these exercises care must be
taken to breathe naturally. Keep the
lower part of the bod as near as pos
sible in the standing position. These
exercises are for tho waist muscles.
Exercise develops the muscles of
the side and loins and exercise 4 is
one of the best exercises for the back,
the muscles along the back of the
legs, and especially the abdominal
muscles. which are among the most
important to an athlete and strong
man.
Remember particularly that the
number of times you do the exercises
is not so important as faithful regular
ity, and the way in which you do
them. Start easily and gradually in.
crease the number you do of each.
You will soon acquire a surprising
endurance, as you may easily prove by
getting some companion to follow you
strong. and perhaps something of an
athlete, but unless he is exceptionally
well developed he will certainly show
signs of fatigue and may have to stop
before you begin to tire
You must impress it upon your
mind, however. that there must be no
weakening on the tasks that you have
laid down for yourself
Some cold mornings you will get up,
possibly after a hard night, feeling
languid and unrefreshed. Instead OF
taking your cold bath, rundown, and
exercises, you may be tempted to
say, "oh, I'll just skip 1t this once, and
jump into your clothes"
