Walking-one of the most popular
and beneficial exercises-is well dis
cussed in Good Housekeeping:
Very stout or slouchy people allow
the abdomen to lead" Brain work
ers. worriers, all nervous and physi-
cally uncultivated people. let their
heads lead; the head is further ad-
vanced than any other part of the per-
son. Dyspeptics whose thoughts ere
centered on their stomachs, often un-
consciously lead with the waist line
just over the offending organ. Oc-
casionally weak-willed person per-
mits the knees to lead. When a thin.
bad walker moves rapidly. there often
seems to be race between nose and
knees. and you watch to see which
will arrive at the goal first.
When a young woman's skirt and a
young mans trousers show bulging
shape over the knees, their owners
are leading sedentary lives or have
never learned to walk correctly. This
part of the lower limbs should be kept
straight, and the ball of the foot. not
the heel, should touch the ground
first. When the head is bent for long
hours over sewing machine or ledger
or onion bed, 1t is not an easy matter
to pull 1t back to its proper position
and make it stay there, and 1t seems
so much more easy and comfortable
to let the chest sink than to hold 1t
up to its right place: but the demands
of health and beauty are identical In
the matter of a head held easily. not

in the highest and most advanced
position.
1t Is a striking TACT that this atti-
tude of head and cnest is expressive.
not only of health and grace. but of
the finer mental qualities. The en-
barrassed boy drops his head; il he
would hold his head up. his nervous
ness would disappear. The shy girl
thinks that every one in the room is
looking at her, and her chest sinks;
but if she would hold it up-assume
the attitude of courage, though she
have 1t not-she wouldn't care wheth-
er they looked or not. The self-con-
scious person who knows he Is stiff
and awkward. and who knows that
his stiffness and awkwardness are the
direct results of his self-conscious-
ness. should imagine that strong
string is attached to the upper part
of his chest and held by an invisible
hand above him. All he has to do is
to let his body depend from that
string and keep his head well back Of
it, and his mind and body will alike
become easy and free. The most
graceful walker | ever knew told me
that she habitually walked by the aid
of this invisible cord.

NEGOTIATIONS BLOCKED.
Intense Feeling in China in Regard to
Exclusion Treaty.

Washington. May 2O.-All hope of
the success of the pending negotia-
tions of the new Chinese exclusion
treaty for the present has been aban-
doned by the Chinese officials. as re-
suit of the wave of resentment that
has swept over China since 1t became
known that It was planned to transfer
the negotiations to Pekin and that the
Department of Commerce and Labor
was insisting upon its own interpreta-
tion of the exclusion law.
Reports have reached the Chinese
legation of the extent of this feeling
throughout the Chinese empire and of
the hostility of the Chinese CONNER
cial guilds to American goods. which
might result, it is asserted. in a gem
eral boycott against American prod
ucts even were it possible to conclude
the exclusion treaty now.
The Chinese legation here declares
that there is no intention of bringing
suit in the Supreme Court of the
United States in behalf of the Chinese
excluded or deported, in view of the
treaty of 1888. All such infringe
ments of that treaty. the legation holds
to be diplomatic matters entirely and
an appeal will be had not to the
courts, but to the state department.
Briefly put the position of the legation
here. which reflects that OF the Pekin
government, is stated as follows;
1.-The expiration last December OF
the exclusion treaty of 1894 leaves in
force the treaty of 1850. The legation
does not for a moment question the
right of the duty of the department
of commerce and labor to enforce ex-
listing laws. The relations of the
United States and China. are. however,
regulated by treaty and not by laws
and 1t is expected that any violation
of existing treaties will be fully COM
nansat ed for by Indemnity.

Breathing for Strength.

Instead OF the above heading
might be written, Breathing for life"
For that is really what we do. And
since this fact is so easily demon
strated, it is strange that we have

secret remedy for a thousand ills. IL

and nights without sleeping; but how
long can we live without breathing?
Twenty ounces of food and few
pints of water will supply the body

requires thirty thousand pints of air
in the same length of time.
The delicate machine which this
volume of air enters is said to contain
over 700 100000 air cells. or little
workshops. Into the walls of these
there flows. like the sewerage of a
great city. the foul. venous blood of
the body. In these remarkable work
shops it is quickly transformed into
a rushing red torrent filled with life
giving oxygen from the air. What
wonderful invention! What miracu-
lous process! And yet you are trust

ments.

French Deputy Fears Japan.

Paris. May 20.-M. Francois Delon-
Gle (Republican, deputy for lndo-
China, has submitted to the special
parliamentary committee on naval af-
fairs a remarkable report on the ur-
gent necessity for Strengthening the
defenses of Indo-China against the
peril of Japanese invasion. "lndo-
China" he says. has only two enc
mics to fear. namely. Japan alone. or
China encouraged and supported by
Japan. The former constitutes real
danger. for Japan has much to gain
and little to risk. and her isolated po-
sition makes her almost invulnerable
to us. She could in few weeks throw
100, 900 men into Indo-China and easily
reinforce this first landing party"

RACING ON THE OCEAN
YACHTS WILL CROSS ATLANTIC
Eleven Yachts Start on a Race of
Three Thousand Miles for En-
peror Williams Cup.

peror Williams Cup.
New York, May 1S.-It was under
gray skies and in the chill of an east
wind, thick with mist, that the eleven
yachts entered for the Kaiser's cup,
started on their 3.OOO-mile race across
the Atlantic yesterday.
A wind blowing straight from the di-
rection in which the regatta was to go.
and lop of sea, which was too Nttle
to interfere with even the smallest of
the entries, made it distinctly fore and
aft weather, and as result there were
five of this rig to send their bowsprits
spearing across the line before the
smoke of the starting gun had wholly
disappeared.
The yawl Ailsa and the schooner
Hildegarde were so close together at
the time of crossing that there was
difference of opinion as to which had
the lead.
The long black hull of the superb At
lantic, backed by many to win in this
race to the Lizard from Sandy Hook,
was two seconds behind the smaller
and more nible leaders.
Close to the clean-cut heels of the
Atlantic the knife-like bows of the
Hamburg, Germany's champion in the
event. came splitting through the seas.
and a short length astern of her the
record-breaking Endymion came sheer
ing as IL she were bent on achieving
another record.
Then followed the Thistle, which be-
haved very badly. Astern of this came
the Fleur-de-Lis and behind the valiant
little schooner, smallest of the lost.
was Lord Brassey's barkentine-rigged
yacht, the Sunbeam. known in all the
waters of the world, and known in this
race as vessel the owner of which
says has no chance of winning; but
whether she wins the race or not, she
won much applause by the way in
which she begun it.
The Apache was next, twenty-one
minutes behind. After her came the
Utowana, and lastly the Valhalla. Such
was the order in which they went
over the line, a full-three-quarters OF
an hour between leaders and laggards
between the Ailsa and the Hide
earde, which led the van, and the big
Valhalla. which brought up the rear.
Strung out over a space three of four
miles in length, the relative positions
of the yachts were not conspicuously
altered during the ensuing hour, when
the press boat kept them company.

oLD-FAsHIoNED JEWELKY.
Modern Miss Rifles Grandmother
Jewel Gases for Brooch OF Chain
of Olden Times.

The most casual observer cannot nave
failed to notice on every hand evidence
q, the fad for old-fashioned Jewelry, es-
necially in necklaces and chains. IL
would seem that every woman is prowl-
ing into mothers or grandmother OF
auntie's Jewel box for articles long ago
discarded by their owner, scotfed at by
the present generation for years, but
now sought for in eagerness. The wo-
man who was wise enough to treasure
her iewelry instead of allowing her 1T
tie daughters to play with it, and more
often than not lose it, is the center OF
envy now. for she arrays herself or her
daughter-both sometimes-with jew
elry that calls forth words of praise and
compliment-or thoughts of envy and
jealousy as the case may be.
The girl lucky enough to induce her
mother to part with some rare set OF
necklace. locket, brooch and earrings,
hastens to the jeweler, who cleans and
polishes, and perhaps mounts the rings
on the brooch as pendants. But the old
fashioned necklace is not enough. Along
with it, as likely as not, are strands OF
modern beads, orientsd beads, pearls or
corals. Indeed it is won ierful the amount
of iewelry that the modern woman ot
accepted good taste wears even in the
DAYTIME. Besides necklace and strands
of beads, she will wear brooch at the
throat, one or more fancy pins at the
back of her collar, on the front OF her
bodice brooch, maybe small sunburst
THE craze for old-fashioned jewelry

Tidiness Essential.

AS soon as the babies are old enough
to learn anything. teach them to put
the playthings in their places. Make
them feel ashamed Of leaving things
for their mother to pick up. 1t will re-
quire patience far more than to do it
yourself and have done with it. The
children will be needless and careless
and forgetful. Do not expect to succeed
the first time. nor the hundred and first
But perseverance will conquer in the end;
your child win acquire the habit Of order
and be the better equipped by so much
for the battle OF life. Children can be
taught to take pride in keeping their lit
tie possessions neat and tidy. The mis-
take we make Ia their education is In
not giving sufficient weight to the fact
that constant repetition Is necessary to
impress firmly upon their minds any
thing we wish to teach. ana that habits
are formed by successive daily acts

THE HEART OF THE HOME.
Boys and Girls Of Family Should Look
Upon Book-Room as Most Attrac-
tive Place in the House.

IN many OF our homes there are studi-
Gus minds who seek, too often on narrow
lines of interest, the companionship OF
those who can speak to them only from
the printed page, but it is the exception
when the library is the heart Of the
home and the intimacy with books goes
beyond the need for an hours amuse-
ment and relaxation. If our young peo-
pie could be drawn from early childhood
to look for companionships, friendships,
or even amusing society in the book
walled room to which they were freely
welcome, much of the thirst for exciting
interests outside their homes would be
quenched.
For girl to find book-friend who
comprehends the struggling thoughts Of
her developing gwomanhoodand puts into
vivid reasonable form her timid, won
dering nebulous questionings, so that
she reads Of herself and her aspirations
as if they were already revealed to one
who understood, one who in writing for
many seems to speak only to her, is to
discover a treasure which is beyond hu-
man estimation. Books that explain
the young mind and heart of a girl to
herself are often dearer to her comfort
ed and rested spirit than even her chosen
companion.
The youth who, among his rough and
thoughtless comrades, while sharing
freely all his schemes of jollity, or even
his aspirations as a student or an ath-
lete, keeps to himself every noble, finer
purpose Of his nature with jealous care,
as if they were things to blush for, will
often, If he is fortunate, stumble upon
some great mans eloquent disclosure oi
possible attainment, that becomes to
him the motive power of his life.--N N. Y

WEALTH BUT NO TASTE.
So Much Foolish Decoration Leads One
to Become an Enthusiastic Be-
lever in Simplicity.

The House Beautiful is publishing an
amusing as well as Illuminating series
of illustrated articles entitled, THE Poor
Taste of the Rich." Houses OF multi
milIionaires are depicted, and the hide
business of their rooms commented on by
a judicious critic. The first glance at
these pictures may possibly bewilder the
sight, and the magnifcence OF the fur
nishings may pass for beauty. But close
scrutiny, even without the aid Of the
critical text, reveals the ugliness of mere
ornament A second glance completely
resigns one to simple living Quoting
from one article: Passing from the
hall you enter the drawing-room. More
money; less taste. The upholstered fur
niture. the tortured walls, the bedecked
and gilded furniture, the costly and
trumpery and ornaments wage a ccntin-
ual battle All the nations of Europe are
represented in this apartment and they
keep up an international warfare. The
Russian sledge swears at the japanese
porcelains; the Japanese porcelains are
not on speaking terms with the Chinese
bronzes; the French furniture hurls in
vectives at the German draperies. How
restfull How liyablel Count the cost,
thethousandse expended here, and rejoice
that you cannot go and do likewise"
On much smaller scale this descrip-
tion fits half the drawing-rooms we are
accustomed to. The tyranny of things
oppresses most of US still. How many
people would have the courage to de-
stroy or give away all their bric-a-brac,
or even that part of it admittedly use
less and untitled to its environment?-
