Breathing Exercises.

Correct breathing has an influence lit
tie less than magical in promoting
health. Ordinarily it should be slow,
deep and rhythmical. The following
deep breathing exercise should be prac-
ticed every morning on first rising:
Open your window wide. Stand in
front of it with loose robe on. Let
the arms hang loosely at the sides.
Then begin from the lowest part of the
abdomen and draw in and downward
slowly all the pure air your body will
hold. Generally In breathing we fill
only about fourth of our lungs.
Scientists say the real life force is
drawn in with the breath. 1t is not
air itself, but an ether which is in the
air. AS you inhale slowly, calmly and
noiseIessly through the nostrils, mouth
shut tight, all the air you can hold,
think that you are drawing to the low
est part of your body this true life
force. Then exhale. the breath in the
same slow, calm manner While you
do so send by your thought and will
the life force up through the nerves.
Stand erect, with the spinal column
entirely free, while taking this breath
ing exercise. Continue it five minutes.
Practice it through the day, too, and
endeayor to make 1t habitual, always
keeping in mind the thought that you
are drawing life force to your nerve
centers When possible do deep
breathing exercise also at night before
retiring.
If you are inclined to have a large
stomach and hollows around the col
lar bone breathe for that, too, but in a
different way. Clasp your hands tight
around your front just below the waist,
as though you were going to lift that
part of the body up, meanwhile breath
ing through the nostrils in a succession
of sharp, quick snorts. Take dozen
of these breaths in succession night
and morning just after you have finish
ed the deep breathing exercise. Keep
up your practice.

4 BREATHING EXERCISE.

around the mouth and lips makes wrin-
kles come And of course every well
bred girl or woman knows enough to
keep her hands and fingers away from
her mouth, nose, face and hair when
she is in the presence of others.
Any mouth can be nodded into a
sweet, pretty expression, no matter
how large it is. The molding is done
by good temper, intelligence and re-
finement, likewise refusing to worry.
After every meal the mouth should
be thoroughly rinsed. At night before
going to bed brush the teeth well, TAX
ing pains to get all the particles OF
food from between them. Consult your
dentist at least once year if you want
handsome teeth and good digestion. It
is not possible to have health with neg
Iected teeth. Take pinch Of salt upon
your brush and scrub your teeth with
it about twice week. This preserves
the gums and makes the teeth them
selves white and smooth

Unrecarded Dreams.

The subject of dreams is one of the
most intricate and perplexing in the
entire field of mental philosophy, and
it has not yet met with that amount
of attention which its Importance
would seem to demand. Sir William
Hamilton, the great metaphysician,
held that whether we recollect our
dreams or not, we always dream To
have no recollection of our dreams
does not prove that we have not
dreamed, for it can often be shown
that we have dreamed, though the
dream has left no trace upon our
memory.

LIVING ON Stills.
A strange sight In the French Tur-
pentine Growing Country.

A Strange Sight In the French Tur-
pentine Growing Country.
People live on sixteen foot stills in
the remarkable turpentine growing
country of France They don these
stills after breakfast and do not re-
move them again till it is time for bed.
There are two reasons for the wear
ing of stills in the turpentine country.
One is the turpentine gathering. The
other is the herding of the great flocks
The turpentine comes from the mari
time pine. This tree Is tapped, shin
gle is inserted, and from the single is
hung a tiny bucket into which the tur-
pentine dlips. The tapping process is
like that used on the American sugar
maple.
Young pine trees are tapped low, but
with each years passage the incision is
made higher, so that it is not long be-
fore most of the trees are tapped TWEEN
ty or thirty feet from the ground.
Hence the huge stills of the work
men. On these stills they traverse the
fat country, covering five or six yards
with each stride, and quickly ana easl-
~ they collect the turpentine that over
flows the little buckets hanging high
up in the trees
1t is for herding also that the stills
are useful The country is very fat,
and the herdsman unless he continual
~ climbed tree would be unable to
keep all the members of his huge flock
in sight But striding about on his
stills he commands a wide prospect.
He is always, as it were, upon hill.
The silt wearers carry a fifteen foot
staff with round, fat top like a din
ner plate. When it is lunchtime or
when they are tired they plant upright
under them the staff and sit down on
its round, fiat top. Then in comfort
seated so dizzily high, they eat and
rest and chatter strange sight to be-
