JlU yTSU TRAINING.

\ childhood the bodily training of the
Japanese maid begins. The Japs
have reduced physical culture for
the feminine sex to such system that
n their country a fat or clumsy woman
IS almost unknown. Fat upon a wo-
man is considered d disgrace. The pre-
urinary jiu jitsu exercises prevent adj
pose accumulation.
J It is a becoming fad for American
women to learn jiu jitsu, but unfortu-
nately it win be merely a fad with
nearly all of them. Like everything
else worth while. jiu jitsu perfection
can only be attained by hard work and
self denial. both continued through
years.
Is the result worth the cost? Well, is
it worth while to have perfect health
to have your mind, temper, passions,
appetite and every muscle of your body
under control? Is it worth while to get
rid altogether of that silly, crazy i'm
puisiveness which made many men look
on the old time woman as an irrespon-
sible semi-idiot? Is it worth while to
re strong, resourceful and so clear
beaded that you can at all times think
instantly and use your mind faculties
Every woman must settle this for her
self
The basic jiu jitsu training is nothing
more than what ninety mine women out
Of a hundred already know, but what
hardly even one woman out of a hun
bred practices. Plenty of baths, plenty of
fresh air, seasoning the body to extremes
Of temperature that one may not take
cold" eating moderately-this is the
beginning. But among the Japs the
mental element enters more largely
into all physical exercises than is the
case with US. The Jap girl fixes her
mind on the muscular training she is
engaged in and knows what the result
will be. That result she sees mentally
as already accomplished.
Breathe deeply is one of the first
principles of jiu jitsu. Stand erect,
with no clothing upon you that i'm
pedes or burdens you. Place your
hands upon the hips and breathe up
ward from the lowest part of the body,
| takD4g in a great gulp of the purest air
you can ind. Let the breath out slow
~ and gradually.
Everybody knows that? Well here is
| something that everybody has not
heard: Many wise individuals believe
that in the air. in all living creatures.
IN all space, is the veritable principle
of life itself. It is in the air. but it is
not the air. The Hindoo calls this life
principle ''prana;" western people some
times call it celestial ether. AS you
take the deep breaths of pure air think
that you are drawing in and sending
through your spinal marrow to the
nerve centers this same celestial ether.
After practfcing the deep, slow breath
ing awhile you can actually feel vibra-
tons thrilling from the lowest part of
the spinal cord upward through it into
the brain. Try it and see Indeed, I
heard a Hindoo teacher say recently
that perfect health can be attained
through learning perfect breath control.
Another point in preliminary jiu jitsu
IS that every woman may achieve for
herself perfect cleanliness Of the skin.

music of his pito. When he wishes to
exhibit them he takes his pito, and to
the music the reptiles dance in the
earthen jar. thrusting their heads and
half of their bodies through the holes
of the cover.
When the reptiles are exhibited
within a house admittance is gained
by each visitor paying whatever he
wishes to present. visitors are ad-
vised in advance that the doors will
be closed until the conclusion of the
dance.
A circle is formed in the middle of
a large room capable of containing
comfortably one hundred persons. In
the center is placed the jar containing
the reptiles.
When everything is ready the
charmer takes his pito and begins to
play a very slow melody which he
calls d "desaletagadora," or awakener.
The snakes begin to move themselves
and raise their heads.
Immediately the charmer plays an
andante and the reptiles become more
animated and begin the dance which
is known as the Ang Sayao.

IMPROVING MANCHURlA.
How Japanese Example to the Ch
 nese Proves Very Beneficial.
By Caroline E. Norton

How Japanese Example to the Chi-
 nese Proves Very Beneficial.
 The Chicago News correspondent with General Nogi's army in Manchu- ria cables as follows:
 Among other measures for the re- generation of Manchuria adopted by Oyama is the quartering of Japanese soldiers in almost every native house throughout the thousands of square miles of territory now held by the mi kado's men. These soldiers set the population an example of personal cleanliness and order that is highly beneficial. The opportunity for per sonal observation of this new manner of life is already benefiting the Chi nese, who are beginning to copy the habits of their guests.
 "Hygienic methods have been intro duced into the villages. the streets are cleaned regularly, public amusements have been inaugurated, public gardens and parks have been established and those already existing improved. Large numbers of Manchurians have been taken Into the service of the postal de partment, and mails are now regularly distributed. This latter innovation is a landmark in the social development of Manchuria. s7.----. ----'e.--,-------

Navel Form of Song.

A new form of song from Holland Is moving to enthusiasm English singers and song lovers who are weary of the conventional ballad, says the Cincin- natl Enquirer. It is real song with out words"-a birdlike warbling which shall express phases of nature and of sentiment without the distracting use of language The high priestess of this imprcssionist singing of Mime. Katherine Van Renues of Amsterdam and her chief disciple is Mime. Blanche Marchesi. It is suggested that an 'im- pressionist song concert shall be given in London soon in order to in- troduce the new art to the public. Mme. Marchesi recently sang some i'm pressionist songs in language which her audience did not know, but the singing was so expressive of the senti' ment that every one realized the mean. ing. One was called 'The Snow" and her hearers said they could hear the snow falling as she sang.

Japan has shown such moderation and such a skillful handling of the in. ternal fabric that any mistakes at this late date are, I think, unlikely, says Banker Clews. Furthermore. it is not probable that the revolution in Russia will, within the next year or so, as sume such headway as to become a distinct threat to the Czar's govern ment. The strikes, it will be observ. ed, are in the cities and ports and are among the artisan class. The great bulk of Russian population, however, is the agricultural class-ignorant, il, literate and with a belief or fear in the Cars power that may almost be con- sidered an instinct. And it will re. quire much time and active teaching to rouse this great unruly and bulky mass of ignorance into an offensive force that may be handled with inteli. gence and promptness. The situation, however, is one capable of causing some unrest in the European money centers. and in turn of being reflected in this market.

President Dargan a Suicide.

DARLINGTON. s. C., July 1.-K. Keith Dargan. formerly president of the Independent Cotton Oil company and the Dargan Trust company here, committed suicide last night by drink ing carbolic acid. The failure of the mills and the closing of the trust com- pany's doors weighed heavily upon his mind. He left a note mentioning the financial troubles and stating that he intended to kill himself. It is said that deficiencies covering shortage in as- sets. bills payable not on the books, etc. may reach STO0.000. The proper ties are in the hands of receivers and sensational developments are antici- pated. Dargan was about forty years of age and had large number of re lations and friends in this section.

ATLANTIC CITY, x. J., July 1".- A murder and suicide here ended tho lives of Edward o. Doughty and Mela s. Clyde of Philadelphia. Doughty, the murderer, was insanely jealous of the woman and. she in turn, desirous of discarding 'him, stirred his fierce jeal- ousy by taking walk with another man. Doughty met her on the street and upbraided her for being false. Drawing q revolver he chased her into a crowded grocery store, where she ran behind the counter and tried to hide, but he followed and there sent several bullets into her breast. She expired within a short time. Doughty had room in the building over the store and he at once went upstairs and deliberately shot himself in the breast. He died instantly.

from the republicans. No material changes are expected in the party all lignment in that body although there may be one or two surprises for the minority in some of the western states. The real party contests will be confined to such states as Montana, Colorado and Idaho where the democrats came into control during the free silver cam- paign of the early nInetles. They have not yet been altogether busted from the possession of those states
 Such republicans as Crane, Frye, Nel- son, Warren and Wetmore and such democrats as Morgan, Carmack and Tillman will have no opposition. This will probably be true of Dryden, Burn ham and Gamble of the republican membership and Bacon, Bailey ana Simmons of the democrats. There has been a little preliminary talk of oppo- sition to Bailey, of Texas, but it will hardly materialize seriously. Deliver will probably have plain sailing nt- though some of his Iowa opponents have been trying to groom some other candidate, so far, unnecessarily.
