OF all gymnastic exercises the
most natural, the most effOrtless
and the most beneficial is simple
stretch accompanied by a yawn.
1t is a favorite and habitual action
among animals, among natural un-

among young children. Adults of
the so-called civilized world have
come somehow to consider the
yawn like all other natural acts, i'm

AS a special exercise the stretch
has many and peculiar advantages.
1t uplifts and. expands the body,
thus giving the heart, lungs, stom.

work, and generally stimulating
their activity. 1t increases the size

The Godlewsky troupe of Russian
singers and dancers at the Wash
ington this week is the big num-
Der of the bill. Their native
dances are excellent, while their
Russian songs are very sweet and
musical, there being perfect har-
mony in the voices of the singers.
Their costumes are of the true
Russian character and decidedly
novel and pretty. Inza and Lorella
are sensational acrobats. Their
act is made up Of thrilling but
never narrowing stunts. There is

orinin of the Oath.

Among the different nations the mode of administering the oath varies. Formerly the custom was in this coun- try by kissing the Bible. At the pres ent time the more general manner is by raising the right hand.
 Among the many things for which the world is indebted to the Jew is the mode of administering the oath. It dates back to the days of Abram, the patriarch, who when offered by the king of Sodom to take the goods to himself made answer. "I have lift up mine hand unto the Lord. the most high God, the pOssessor of heaven and earth, that I will not take from Q thread even to a shoe latchet and that I will not take anything that Is thine lest thou shouldst say, I have made Abram rich."--Detroit News-Tribune

 Uncle Jerry said nothing and pro ceeded in his search for a match. It was hard work to get his hand down between himself and the large man, but he found the pocket at last and took out three or four matches, all of which went out as he struck them. one after the other, except the last.

Master Cupid has started his regular fall campaign. Of course he works all the year round, but there are certain seasons when he seems more busted than at other times, especially the months of June and October.
 Just why those two months should be chosen has never been definitely de- cided, but one who had made extensive investigations concerning the subject gave as his opinion that, aside from the tent time. Many young men and young women too, have their vacation about that time and the following weeks, so by choosing June the honeymoon and vacation trips may be combined. In that way expenses can be cut down. However, matters of economy are not usually supposed to enter into consid- eration at such times
 Then the October bride is often the result of the vacation trip. The young man goes to the mountain or seaside re- sort and there suceumbs to the charms of the Summer Girl. He returns to his work only to be haunted by visions of her and by the time October arrives he has decided that he cannot possibly live without her and has persuaded her to take pity upon his loneliness and share his modest home.
 Whatever may be the reasons, wheth- CT pure sentiment, custom, habit or economy, October and June continue to furnish larger percentage of brides than any other months. And October is very near, so near that the sound of wedding bells can already be heard. If advance reports can be relied upon, there will be nnmber of weddings within the next few weeks.
