Thirty Jumps Before Breakfast One
Of Two Recommended.

In the thick of winter busy men find
their usual exercise curtailed, and
must look about for some easy way in
which to keep themselves in condition,
Many walk to and from their places
of business, but these generally live
within three or four miles of their Of
fees.
If you aren't one of these, try a reg.
ular course of jumping. One of your
winter maxims should be: Thirty
jumps before breakfast" If you stick
to this all through the cold spell you
will come out in the spring as fit as
a provs,rbial violin.
Take an ordinary heavy kitchen
chair. Near it place heary rug or
an ordinary front door mat: Jump on
thu chair, then jump off again onto
tho mat. Keep this up for 80 times,
and your exercise is accomplished. In
the long jump, jump from the bare
floor onto an old mattress. In bare feet

choly. He sits by himself and broods
all the time he is at home, and l am
told that he does his work silently,
and never sings or whistles any more
or. speaks to his friends in the shop.
His whole nature is utterly changed.
He doesn't complain or seem afraid
of the future. OF course, he is still
sick and suffering from his terrible ex-
perienoe with the dogs: But it is the
change in his disposition that is the
strange part of it all. 1t seems as
though the poison from the fangs of
the savage dogs had worked some
strange spell on him. l am not an
educated woman and cannot under
stand these things, but do know that

robbed me of my good, kind, merry
husband and gave me back sad, mo-

cooked, boiled or scrambled, and then
us boys, the English princes and 1,
took boards and smashed the eggs on
his head and held to his nose bottle
Of assofoedita, and when he smelled
1t, and the eggs dripped down his hair
into his collar, he said, Dem eggs vos
rodden, already" and l thought he
would drown in yolk of eggs, cause
never knew a swans egg would hold
so much yellow stuff, and then he
pulled of the blindfold, and, o, my,
wasn't he mad.
He grabbed up the dozen eggs in
the English princes hat, and asked
me how I liked scrambled eggs best
of all, and he pelted me with some that
didn't need assOfoedita to make them
smell, and he threw some at the Eng
fish princes, and then the worst posi-
bic thing happened, because the
kaiser, who was out walking, like
Napoleon, thinking he was thinking,
saw us fighting, and the air was filed
with eggs, and the kaiser came up on
a run. with his uniform and military
cloak on, and his sons eyes were so
full Of eggs that he couldn't see
where he was throwing eggs, and three
struck the kaiser in the neck and on
the chest and then there was a war
in the Balkans for sure. The kaiser
yelled, Rouse" whatever that is, and
blew whistle full of egg, and the
bugle sounded and troops began to
hustle out of the barracks and we were
surrounded, and l thought the world
was coming to an end.
