In health articles attention has often
been directed to the necessity of prop
er breathing in order to increase the
physical well-being and to place the
body in the best possible condition for
resisting the onslaughts Of disease. But
1t is not enough to tell people to
brca the; many. with the best will In
the world do not know how to
breathe. 1t is not enough to sit In n
chair and take deep breath from
time to time: nor can any one always
he taking full inspirations, for that
requires thought and special effort. We
must breathe in the ordinary way
most of the time. and supplement this
by certain special exercises at given
periods
Any form Of exercise properly taken
calls for increased respiratory effort,
and so may be called breathing ex-
ercise; and this applies particularly to
rapid walking which is the best all
round exercise that 1t Is given to man
to indulge In. But we can augment
the utility Of rapid walking Cby which
Is meant a gait Of from three to four
miles an hour by combining with 1t a
special breathing exercise.
Many PERSONS walking in the city
make it a rule to fill the lungs as full
as they will hold of air each time they
come to street-crossing, holding the
breath until the farther side of the
street Is reached This is an excellent
habit to form, but it is not always
possible to observe the rule while
lodging cars, cabs and automobiles.
The best time for special breathing
exercises Is at night before retiring
and in the morning before the bath
Standing upright, with the head
thrown back, the mouth closed and
the arms at the side. rise gradually to
the tlptOeS, raise the arms slowly to
the horizontal position, and keeping
them well back Of the body, breathe
in as deeply as possible; then slowly
lower the arms to the side, and come
down fat-foot while eXpelling the
breath as fully as possible. Repeat
these movements about four times a
minute. Begin as before. but do not
stop when the arms are horizontal.
Continue to raise them until they are
stretched as high as possible, the
hands not being allowed to come to-
gether. but kept apart the width Of
the shoulder or little more. COntn-
Tie to inhale until the hands are as
high AS possible. hold the breath for
two or three seconds. then eXhale
slowly and fully as the arms are low
cred to the side.
These exercises and many variations
Of them grow easy with practice, and
IL performed night and morning in
well-aired room will increase wonder
fully the vital capacity.-Youth's Com.

Flowers and Character.

That which surrounds us forms our
character. If we live in the midst Of
filth We cannot keep 1t secret. The
world turns its knowing eye on us,
lokos beneath the surface, sees our
inner selves, our degraded minds and
our cold, cruel hearts.
II we live surrounded by tile beau
ties OF life. the world knows. too. Our
hearts grow kind and sympathetic and
our thoughts high ana pure.
We all know that this is true. Then
IL it not our plain duty to surround
our little children with every lovable,
uplifting thing the world affords? Is
it not orr duty to ourselves to sur
round ourselves with everything
which will refine our thoughts and
help to form within us an admirable
character? We owe it to our children,
to ourselves and to society.
Probably the purest and most beau
tful things on earth are flowers. Can
You not imagine character grown
in the midst of a garden Of flowers?
