"Our lungs, quite as we'll as our

"They need a bath, but not a

cleanser of the lungs, and to baths
them the head should be thrown
back, and through the nostrils
pure, fresh air should be inhaled
till the lungs are distended to
their utmost limit. About Is Of

CIRCUS RINGS.
Never Vary in Size or Character-In-
teresting Facts About the Floto
Shows Soon to Be Here.

Those who take their children to see
the Sells-Floto circus will comment
upon the many differences ii presents
from the circuses of fifty years ago.
But there is one thing under the can
vass that is ever unchanged and is the
same everywhere-the ring.
The circus ring is, in diameter and
shape immutable. Wherever the big
tents lift their toad stool growth, that
circle under them is never altered. The
reason for this is that the circus rid
ers and circus horses 20 from one
country to another with different ag-
2regations. For the successful perfor-
nance of their "acts" it is absolutely
necessary that the ring shall not vary
in size, and that the angle of incllna-
ton toward the cantnr ranuirad 20

with radius Of twenty-one feet four
and one-halt inches, must De accurate
Ily preserved.
If this is not done the consequences
are likely to be serious-more serious
than if a speaker were to lose has re-

cular incline and around ring OF tina
particular size. This rate never vare'
until the act is finished, and has thu
regularity of clock. Change TIM
and il is like altering the size OF TIT
handspring in your watch.
The horses with the Sells-Floto cir

features. OF the three hundred splen

it alone. Teh prices paid for them
range from $500 to 5000 each for the
Percheron and Clydesdale draft stock,
and 90 into the thousands for the rae
ING horses used in the tournament and
principal riding acts.
When the tent for the horses is
ready each horse knows where he be-
longs in it. When the parade forms
he falls into line without beng told.
1t is even said that the ring horses
know when they are to perform by
means of the music.
The perfect discipline found in ev-
cry department Of the circus is abso-
lutely necessary. Cruelty TO any OF
the animals is practically unknown.
The tents are erected with ap RECESSION
and lack of confusion marvellous to the
lay mind.
The army of men necessary to the
transportation and presentation of

HOW 1T HAPPENED

The Senate after a three-hours de-
bate on the Indian Appropriation
bill agreed to an amendment remov-
inc all restrictions on the Indians
land except those of full-blood. The
DELEGATION from this Territory at
once sent the action of the Senate
out by wire and it was that dispatch
published in the World on Saturday.
After the amendment had been
adopted Lafolette and Spoonerf got
into an argument over the coal land
provision and the latter after tele-
phoning to the Secretary OF the In
terror. moved to reconsider the
amendment which had been adopted
removing restrictions from the In
dians' land, except full-bloods, and
after an hours debate the section
was stricken out.

Recital OF the Great Journey of Magazine Party

it could have been made any more

it as pleasant as possible for us.

gracious, most cordial and even en-
thusiastic in his greeting. After he
had shaken hands with all of us, Mr..
Mcclure, who introduced us, inform

who was our representative from
Nowata, was a Cherokee Indian and
the attention the Pesident showed the
fair young lady might have turned
the head of the average person, or
have swelled the bump of conceit Of
a dignitary.

sion of sincerity, and | think he
knows what he is talking about when
he says that we will get statehood at
this session of congress, and from all
the assurances that ! received | am
satisfied that we will get it before
the adjournment. | am only afraid
that in the rush incident to the final
winding up of the legislation of this
session, that some Objectionable fea-

The party consisted of seven, and
was taken on the trip by Sturm's s
Statehood Magazine, and chaperoned
by Mr.. and Mrs. Sturm, who did all
in their power to make us have a
most delightful trip, and doubt If
anyone ever succeeded better.
