Summer ENErc SC.

Success in most outdoor sports de bends upon how wei one can breathe. Breathing exercises are the most val uable. X reason for acquiring this habit in the summer k that away oH the mountains or ay the sea one can avail oneself of the parest, most h4sh- ly "eNyeenated' air ohtaiaabe
 Pra fice the following loga breath ing; Giase the lett ucseril and breathe through the u-ht during eight sec. ondS; close the right and eNhale forci- hlv during two seconds through the left; iahdie through the left during eight seconds. eNhaie through the right in two seconds.
 It k highly important that the lungs should be filled with air in these breathing exercises and that the breath should be retained during the period in which we can count slowly from six to twelve. Then the exhala- non should be gradual say exhale pause. count two eXhale little more. count two, and 50 on. The muscles of the lungs will be strengthened and their capacity greatly increased in pro portion as the air is first retained and then completely exhaled
 Breathe deeply at all times, but es- neeiaIly upon rising in the morning, and have the clothes loose enough to allow the ribs plenty of expansion. Pressu ure on the diaphragm makes yio- lent exercise almost impossible.

Foot Ease.

Talcum powder sprlnlled freely in the shoes will do much to alleviate foot wearlness. There are various foot powders which are excellent used in this way, but when only few nee essary belongings may be carried in the travelling bag the talcum powder answers very well. The powder should also be rubbed over the foot before the stocking is donned When the feet burn and ache cruelty after a long day of sightseeing a bath in cool water and a brisk rub with alcohol afterward will help them more than soaking in hot water, which only makes them the more tender afterward Each morning also the feet should be bathed in cold water and hriskly rubbed to harden them and make them better able to re- sist fatigue.

Some engagements extraordinary at the theatre this week make one ot the liveliest bills Of the season. There ism | a dead one in the bunch, they are all the real limelight article, and the acts make the spotlight look dim. The headline act features Miss Doris Clare mont. the whirlwind fire dancer. Her act will be put on every evening ex- eept Friday. This is a mysterious, spectacular, picturesque, and graceful dancing act. The act is one Of the most pleasing to the eye. The rhythm of motion to the eye is what the rhythm of sound is to the ear. To do this dance perfectly requires exact muscular control of the limbs that re- quires a great deal of special training.
