HOW TO REDUCE THE FLESH.
Increasing the Lung Capacity Is the
First Requisite.

First Requisite.
To increase the lung capacity is the
first step in the reduction of flesh, says
Outing For this purpose running is, i
think, superior to any other exercise.
Boxing and handball are also excellent
for the wind" And these exercises
will do more to increase the respira-
tory functions; they will greatly stim-
ulate the circulation as well as all the
secretory and excretory processes.
What leg exercise will not do, how
ever, Is oxidize, to any great extent,
the soft tissues of the trunk and arms.
True, by stimulating the organs Of
elimination and by increasing lung ca
pacity, leg exercises will oxidize upper
tissues somewhat; but when fat is not
replaced by muscle, it has a strong ten
dency to reform.
A bad effect of leg exercises exclu-
sively is that they draw a major part
of the blood, rich in oxygen, to the low
er limbs; whereas if vigorous arm and
trunk exercises were executed, beside
the leg exercises, much blood would be
attracted also to the upper parts
which would then be oxidized to the
best advantage. their lost fat being, ut
the same time, replaced by solid It's
sue, and hence having little tendency
to reform. Running, therefore, splen-
did exercise though it Is, should be
supplemented by vigorous upper" ex-
ercises. BY vigorous upper exercises
l do not mean calisthenics nor any
kind OF so-called light exercises; /
mean reasonably hard work.

beneficial to the lake fisheries. The in
fusion Of new blood into the old river
stock already seems to have added new
life to the waters, and hence. while the
nshes are fighting for supremacy, they
are multiplying enormously, and the
splendid specimens of all the varieties
this season show that the health and
general physical condition have been
greatly improved. The fish feed upon
each other; and it appears that none of
the deaths have resulted from other
causes than violence. The season has
Afforded unprecedented sport for those
searching for game fish, Old-tine
sportsmen have turned their attention
from the northern lakes to the Illinois
rivers and neighborlng lakes. For the
small lakes all along the rivers show
the same wonderful increase in pis-
catorial population.
Complaints of the alleged effects on
Lake Michigan fisheries at first we're
ridiculed by the drainage canal trus-
tees, but they have become so numerous
that these officials have been forced to
take cognizance of them. The rivers
gain Is Lake Michigan's loss. 1t Is de-
cfared, and how to prevent the exodus
OF lake fish is problem that the sani-
tary trustees are now wrestling with.
So far, the only solution of the prob
lem that has been suggested is the
building Of fishways at all the dams
and locks along the artificial water
route. But this, it Is feared, would
weaken the dams, and 1t Is doubtful If
it would be possible to construct them
In manner that would permit the fish
to make their way back to Lake Mich
igan, once they had wandered so far
away as the Illinois River. Two meth
ods of constructing the -fishways have
been proposed-one consisting of what
is known as fish ladder. which would
consist of series of steps, over which
the water in descending would turn the
fall into a cascade, and thus permit
the fish to climb back in pursuing
other comprising chute with sinu-
GUS track for diminishing the velocity
and assisting the passage Of the fish to
the level above the dam. Because of
the nature of the locks and dams, their
width and number, it is doubted If this
device would prove successful, even II
the construction did not interfere so
materially with the mechanical opera
tions.
The appearance Of the new types of
fish, entirely different from anything
recorded by former naturalists. has
stirred up the scientists, and the here
tofore despised Des PLANES River has
come into prominence as the center of
piscatorial interest, for it Is here that
the new types and increased number of
fishes have attracted widespread atten-
tion.
The strange and new types of fishes.
never noticed to any great extent until
this year, are undoubtedly the result
of the intercrossing that came about
after the invaders from the lake had
accustomed themselves to the new en-
vironments. On finding it impossible
to make their way back to the lake.
they settled down to make the best of
their life in the narrow confines of the
rivers and accept the condition of mis-
cegenation with the river fishes as the

Railway accidents have been usually
ascrlbed to insufficient equipment Prof.
Il. ii. Dixon, in an article in the At
lantie Monthly, concludes that the real
difficulty is not mechanical but human.
1t is not the failure or the lack of
the block-signal that causes the trou-
BILE, nor would the installation Of auto
matte stops and other devices cure
the evil. 'The fundamental weakness
OF American railroading from the
standpoint Of safety Is the widespread
and almost universal lack of disci-

WORTH KNOWING.

Every man and woman in this town should know of Paxtine Toilet Antisep- tic.
 It whitens the teeth, destroys germs that invade every cavity and crevice, and prevents decay; also invaluable for cleaning artificial teeth.
 Paxtine destroys all bad taste, per fumes the breath and keeps the mouth and throat in perfect health.
 This is because Paxtine is the most successful formula of @ noted Boston physician, used in his priate practice for years in curing the most obstinate infamed and catarrhal conditions of the mucous membrane surfaces of the body, and is being adopted by physicians, dentists, and trained nurses everywhere as the most thorough cleansing and healing antiseptic. Every woman in New Haven should use Paxtine in her toilet
 Many women say that if Paxtine were ten dollars a box they would not be without it. Have you tried it? soc at druggists. For sample, address The R. Paxton Co.,, 75 Pope building, Boston, Mlass

m,WAy DOWN ST. 2

The Hyperion will have a splendid attraction for the last three days of the week in William A. Brady's pro- duction of Lottie Blair Parker's great est success, Way Down East" be- ginning on Thursday evening.
 Those who have never seen Way Down East" are strongly advised to do so on this occasion, for there is no more delightful rural play on the stage at the present time, For ten years this play has delighted millions of people throughout the country, and that it has lost none of its popularity is evident from the constantly increasing busi- ness it has done everywhere. People seem never to tire of it, and it may be likened to Tennyson's Brook" which flows on forever.
 The pretty story of love for an hon- est girl by a sturdy young farmer is unfolded in a most convincing manner by the author Anna Moore is a char acter that wins the sympathy of the audience from the start, and her many trials and tribulations are followed with intense interest until the supreme moment ln the last act, when she soft ens the heart of those who hahd con- ceived a dislike for her, and her tri- umph is complete, Those who go to see "'Way Down East" during this engagement will witness production that is entirely new in every respect.
 The cast is practically the same as that seen here upon the last visit bf the company to this city, and includes all the old favorites, among them be, ing Phoebe Davies, Robert Fischer, Ella Hugh Wood, Uric B. Collins, Mary Davenport, John Brennan, Mabel Strickland Charles Currier, Estelle Ward, Frank Bell, James Willard, J. T. Galloway, Burt Flansburg, and the famous Village Choir" The realistic snow storm effect is still retained, and this also has been greatly improved upon since the last visit of the com pany to this city

Riinu Thenter.

A large and enthusiastic audience set its seal of approval on The Circus Girl, a pretty three-act comedy drama, as produced by the Stock company at the Bijou yesterday afternoon and again last night. With its bright, clean comedy, it's amusing situations and ri- diculous climaxes, this play is certainly very pleasing one. It is produced in an extremely creditable manner, being well acted and elaborately staged. The plot is formed about the fact that a young man in getting married also marries his mother-in-law and brother-in-law. He gets into a scrape while his wife is away, and in trying to get out of it makes a lot more trou- ble for himself, and creates an endless number of perplexing, yet highly anus- ing situations. Ills main fault is that he believes he can lie artistically when he is in reality but a bungler, Conse- quently his lies only make matters worse.
 The part of the mother-in-law was taken last night by Edith Crolius, who plays the dragon of the household to i perfection. Her son IS an EllgIlsh lop with all the silly affectations general ly ascribed to this species. The charac- ter was a laugh producer as interpret ed by Lawrence B. McGill.
 "The Circus Girl" the real cause of all the trouble is the family is Rosa Colombier" andais played by Dorothy Lamb in very artistic manner. Her breezy, unconyentional ways made a great hit with the audience. Arthur { Hummingtop, the poor wretch, who thinks he can tell fairy tales to his mother-in-law, was played by Cameron 1 Clemens, who did the part full justice
 His work was sso natural that he won 1 the entire sympathy of more than one married man iflsthe audience. The re- mainder of the cast is well balanced, but their roles are limited.
 The comedy pervadng every he, ana l the stuatons are so natural that one cannot help laughng at the pece. The result is a continual roar from the au- i dience from start to finish.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Theater.

With the unanimous indorsement or every critic in New York Madame Ala Nazimova comes to the Hyperion the ater this afternoon end evening for two performances in Ibsen's most interest," ing drama, "The Dolls House" No actress in the history of the American stage has made such rapid progress to the very front rank as the distinguish ed artist. MT. Adolph Klauber, the em- inent critic, writing in the New York Times of recent date said: There have been many actresses who have es- sayed the role of Nora in America, but none have brought to the part the wealth of understanding as has this marvellous woman, She makes the character one that lives and breathe5, freed from the halo of mysticism, re- lief from the dreary characterizations that so many actresses think necessary in order to make Ibsen a diet for the intellectual. Nazimova enshrouds Nora with all that is wholesome and natur- al. She moves you to laughter and tears with equal facility. She has no peer in this broad land. and to compare her with Bernhardt or Duse is to do Nazimova an injustice, for in this role she is greater than they"
 Her engagement in New Haven was brought about through the termination of successful run at the Bijou thea ter, and beginning another at the Her aid Square on the "Wednesday following her date here.

NEW s75,OOO CHURCH.
For Hungarian Roman Catholics in

For Hungarian Roman Catholics in
 Bridgeport,
 St. Stephens church located in Spruce street, the only Hungarian Ro- man Catholic church in Connecticut has a seating capacity of about eight hundred, which is too small for the parish, which has grown rapidly. Fa- ther John Madar, with the tdustees of the church, are planning for improve ments in the parish which will cost in the neighborhood of one hundred thou sand dollars.
 The first project to be taken up will be the building of brick parochial residence in Bostwick avenue at cost lof ten thousand dollars, and then the building of brick church in the same street at cost of seventy-hve thou sand dollars will follow. This will have seating capacity of fifteen hun dred. As soon as the new church is finished the present church in Spruce street, which is only about eight years Told, will be remodeled into parochial school
 One of the trustees said this morning that 1t was difficult to tell how many people attended the church. As it is the only Hungarian Catholic church in the state, he said, many worshippers of that nationality make weekly pill grimages to this city to worship in a church where their mother tongue is l spoken.
 It is estimated that there are fifteen thousand Hungarians and Slavonians in this city. The slavonians outnum- Der the Hungarians and have brick church of their own in East Bridge port. About seventy per cent. of the fifteen thousand are Roman Catholics, and as the colony is rapidly growing in this city St. Stephens parish promises to become one of the largest in the state. Brideport already has the lar gest Hungarian colony in Connecticut. -Bridgeport Farmer.

nHAppY LAND ,

Ecstathous, De Wolf Hopper's latest comic opera character, in which we are to see him in the new DeKoven-R Ran ken comis opera, "Happyland,' as pre- scented here shortly by the Messrs. Shu- bert, is said to be another Wang" sort of part. Ecstatious is the King of Elysia (Happyland) and he has his troubles just like the poor old regent of Siam. In place of Pepat annoying him, we are to have Pedro-by the same comedian who played Pepat in Wang Frank Casey-and other Elysian an- noyeIs. Ecstatious, it seems, promises that his son shall marry the daughter of another king in orier to prevent war and too late, he finds that he has not son--his child is a girl This be- whitening character, Sylvia, is to be played by pretty little Marguerite Clark. Hopper's first song, "A Sicken- ing Sadness Sits on Me" serves the same purpose as his opening ballad in Wang where he tells us he has ''an elephant on his hands.
