DEEP BREATHING
is AN ESSENTIAL
To HER BEAUTY

How 10 breathe deeply seems to be a
sealed mystery 10 most persons. and yet
unless it is done one can be neither
physically strong nor pretty. If the
lungs are not well filled with fresh air
II is impossible to have a clear com
plexion and bright eyes, no matter how
many cosmetics are used.
Exercises. If taken every morning. by
which the lungs are disten6ed, viii help
10 form the habit of deep breathing
which, once acquired, IS practiced I'M
consciously.
No amount Of filing the lungs will be
beneficial unless the air that is taken in
be fresh. Therefore. il one is in town
and tho exercises cannot be done out

the top, as well as at the bottom, and
the room freshened before the work is
begun The sash should remain Up dur

are exercised.
While practicing these exercises It is
best to wear a loose, heavy dressing
gown that viii be warm and not conGn-

chances Of thrusting forward the abdU-
men are greatly lessened The head
must be held up well, the chin not
pointed out. as one so often sees. but
drawn in a trihe. This brings the spinal
column in straight line at the back
OF the neck and shoulder blades.
In this position the hands should be
rested on the hips. the thumbs back and
the myers forward. Then, with the lips
closed long breath is drawn in
through the nOStrils until one feels the

A RARE MUSICAL TREAT. . (From Mondays Daily)

'Buoyant, piquant and gay, Miss Crystal B. Snow, accompanied by Miss Dazie Stromstadt stetpped off the deck of the Jefferson Saturday ght, and into our midst. Both ladies were greeted by friends and escorted to their hotel. Despite the delay of the steamer and consequent .postponeiment of their concert to to- might, seemed not one whit to dispel the cheerful bearing and charm of manner of either.
 Miss Snow, is justly entitled to the hame, Alaska Song Bird," having earned it through conscientious study and hard work in bringing her voice to the standard of perfection which she has attained, as well as being a native daughter of Alaska's soil, her home being at Juneau, where her parents reside. The little lady, lIthe- some, graceful. and full of animation, in appearance, has received q the plaudits and honors of a prima donna, throughout the entire. northern country for her artistic work. Her range of voice is considerable, she reaches the high c, either forte or pianamisso, as redily as the one-line c. Miss Snow has most pleasing stage appearance, dainty, sweet and girlish in extremely graceful attire. Tonight she will wear an imported sheath gown of hlack velvet trimmed in passaernentarie. In style. of dress. this will prove an innovation in this city, much to the interest of the la dies, who will thus have. the opportu- nifty of observing the effect of this fa- nous Parisian importation. .s.
 As special favor Miss Snow will render Danny Deever" tonight, one of the recent compositions If Waiter Damrosch, the celebrated New York director. words by Kipling. Also, Merry Widow" music and songs. Various numbers will be pre- sented in high classical style and fin- ish, the program, especially long and pleasing, consisting of opel atic se- lections, ballads and the newest songs. Miss Stromstadt, has attained justly earned prominence as a pianist, and will render her part of the program skillfully, beautifully ard polished in the execution and technique.

THE HUMAN ENGINE.
To Operate This Masterpiece Air 10
 the First Necessity.

tO0 IHoe sNSSSoSteys
 Of all the engines cunningly devised by man not one can equal that master. piece of construction. the engine of the human frame. To run that engine air Is the first necessity. Construct 1t how you will. the greater part of the energy which feeds power plant is lost before It reaches the applying machine. The body only has the power of using energy really economically and efficiently. Its food Is it's fuel. To be available all the constituents of that food must be burned. producing heat aud power For that burning the oxygen of the air is essential. Equally true Is 1t that nitrogen must be pres. ent to prevent the rapid combustion which would take place in oxygen alone But. whether the combustion be fast or slow, the action is the same. The body burns the carbon and hy. drogen of its food and gives out the oxides of these substances. carbon dioxide (carbon acid gasD and hydrogen oxide (water). The water that is formed within the body by the burn. ing of hydrogen Is of comparatively slight importance in consideration of the vital questions of the effect of city afr upon the individual. but the other factor, the carbon dioxide formed in the body. Is of direct importance Hollis Godfrey in Atlantic.

METLAKAHTLA ITEMS.

Another basket supper was held Tuesday evening of this week, at which $6O was cleared. All the money that has bsen recently raised has been devoted to rebuilding the walks. The walk from the church to the street fronting Nichols passage is the one that is now being repaired.
 The recent storms ..have hindered the completion of the government boat house, so that it will not be 6n- ished as rapidly as anticipated. The force of men has been greatly increas- ed and every advantage of favorable weather is bounced upon.

ALASKA HALIBUT FISHERIES

ALASKA HALIBUT FISHERIES. | A correspondent of the London (Eng. Times writes entertaingiy to that great publication concerning the rapid growth and development of the halibut fishing industry on the Pacific Coast, in a way that will particularly interest the readers of The Miner for the reason that indicates the ultimate transfer of that particular industry to southeastern Alaska, with head4uart- CTS here at Ketehikan. So rapidly, says this correspondent, has the hali- but fishing industry grown on the Northwest Coast of America that this season 10 steamships and at least p sailing schooners are engaged in the trade, while the industry. ashore and aAoat, gives livelihood to no less than 1000 men. Most of the product, packed in ice,s goes through Vancouv- CT, B. C., and Seattle to the eastern cities, Chicago. Boston, and New Yo"k. Some is even sent across the Atlantic to the English and Continen- tai markets. Six of the steamships make Seattle their Headquarters.
 The last five years have seen not only the growth of the halibut fishing. industry from a small beginning, but they have also seen the moving of the fishing banks further and further north, until now most of the fish are caught off the Queen Charlotte Is- lands, in Hackett Straits, and off Cape Scott, at the northern end of Van couver Island The old fishing grounds off Cape Flattery. and the southern end of Vancouver Island have been ''fished out'' to such an extent that only small haiibut are to be obtained there, and it does not pay the fishing companies to send out their boats to that locality. This does not mean, however, that the fishing Is at the point of exhaustion, for the waters of British Columbia still further to the northward carry multitudes of fish, and Southeastern Alaska has banks that cannot be exhausted for many years to come, and it may be that by the time the northern waters are depleted the southern banks will be restocked. As matters stand at present one of the principal items in the cost of halibut fishing is that of transportation. Steam vessels require at least three days to reach the banks and three days to return. With four days of fishing this means ten days trip. The smaller vessels, even equipped with gasoline engines, as most of them are, take a good deal longer, and the problem ot handling

(From Tuesdays daily)

Suffering from the effects of an ag- gravating cold, Miss Crystal B. Snow. last night sang herself into popular favor at Redmen's hall, before an ap- preciative audience.
 That the .'song bird" of Alaska, possesses .a strong and sweet voice is upmis.aksble; it's tone, quality and pitch equaling many who assume the roles of the operas.
 She sings a tempo, with perfect control, and her runs and trills are superb. At times, brilIiante would epxress the idea intended to convey the impressions left on one's mind and hearing espec ially so when one listens to Miss Snow's vivacy rendi- tions. Her voice and presence tells the story truly-itselfcultivated, ex- press,ve, graceful. Should she carry out her intention of studying under European masters there can be DO doubt but what the name of Crystal B. Snow will appear prominently in the music world in the large centers. Miss Stromstadt, accompanist is a finished pianist and has apparently
 reached the stage of perfection she aspires to-, It is greatly regretted that unavoidable delays in the steam boats caused postponement in the engagement, as it left but scant time for presentation for the concert, and hence not as large crowd as Ketchi- kan is capable of giving to greet Miss Snow.
