DEEP-BREATHINe IMPORTANT.
It Strengthens and Develops the Lungs, Overcoming Weak Tendencies.

Deep breathing. that is, taking long. full breaths right down into the lungs, cannot be practiced too often in the open air, and the clearer and purer the air the deeper you should breathe. It will seem a hard task at first, but one will soon find It p;eas- ant. and the results will be apparent in straighter shoulders, bettn- devel- oped chests. clearer skin ani sweeter breath. This method of breathing is the real "elixir of life," and better than any youth-restorer on the mar ket.
 In short time you will be breath ing correctly, awake or asleep. It is to be remembered that deep breathing also fills out sunken and hollow cheeks. clears the lungs and reduces the abdomen
 It Is comparatively easy task to teach children who have not acquired fixed bad habits, whose clothing ad- mits of perfect freedom, how to breathe properly. The habit of deep breathing is formed quickly, and in normal conditions is maintained through life.
 The weak, who have cramped their lungs and relaxed all the breathing muscles, will find that the formation of the new habit requires persistent daily practice. but when it once is established they will have health and yigor.-Physical Culture.

no sooner is one such tunnel finished than they begin to contemplate an- other. Hardly a year has passed since the Simplon route was officially opened, and already there are three fresh projects, the "Lotschberg" tun- nel through the Bernese Alps, a tun- nel beneath Mont Blanc, and tun- nel through the Splugen to link up the Italian and Swiss railways at Chur and Chiayenna respectively.
 The Canton of Grisons has peti. tioned the federal government for power to construct their portion of the aforementioned undertaking, and a similar demand has been addressed to the Italian government by Milan syndicate, and there is every likeli- hood of the work being started with out delay.
 The scheme for boring the Splugen originated with M. Locher, one of the three constructors of the Simplon tunnel, and the cost of the whole en- terprise is estimated at s22,40O, 900. It would shorten the distance be- tween Milan and southern Germany, as well as eastern Switzerland; Munich, Dresden and Berlin being brought respectively 56.

Starting from Chur, the line will run, vio Tbusis and Zillis, to Andeer at the northern entrance to the tunnel which will be carried in straight line under the Splugen to its
