Train Your Breathing.

eff one learns to breathe properly when young he finds the benefit of fl in middle and old age," said physi-
 "You will notice that when middle aged man gets into train he holds his breath, and then grunts loudly as he sits down. This is stupid practice. It throws a terrific strain on the heart and may even burst a blood vessel in the-iungs orsthe brain. Many of those sudden deaths we hear of are due to holding the breath while making vio- lent effort. Only the trained athlete is usually free from this fault. Athlete or not, every one should practice easy and regular breathing. If 1t cannot be managed with closed mouth then the mouth should be opened when per forming such operations as lifting a weight, running upstairs, stepping into a railway carriage, and the like. You may add years to your life by this lit tie precaution.--Lond Globe.

HIS DOLLAR BILL.
He Tried to 1sstow It In Charity, but
 1t Went Astray.

He Tried to asstow 1t In Charity, but
 1t Went Astray.
 Diplomacy doesn't always work, as q certain kind hearted business man in West Philadelphia has just found out He says that the lesson was cheap at the price, but at the same time he will employ more direct methods next time he wishes to play the philanthropist.
 It happened on the subway the Oth- CT night. He had just closed a real estate deal at considerable profit and was feeling very generous, so when he saw a poor woman in a threadbare dress carefully count out five pennies for her ticket and saw that it was the last money in her worn pocketbook he determined to help her. Of course it wasn't easy, but the man brides him. self upon being a diplomat. So, crum- bling a dollar bill up in his hand, he stopped over as if picking something up and then, holding 1t out to the wo- man, said:
 Madam, here is some money you dropped" He tried to smile signii- cantly as he said 1t, but she didn't seem to understand and said simply:
 "Tain't mine."
 You'd better take it," he said. "It isn't mine, and 1t was lying right by you"
 The woman shook her head at first, then took it slowly out of his hand and looked at 1t gloatingly. The man smiled, well pleased with himself, but an instant later the woman, seeing a man looking down at the platform, rushed up and cried, "Was you look ing for a dollar billY
 'T sure was," answered the man promptly.
 "Well, here it is," said the woman, and the man with a delighted "Oh, thanksg' calmly pocketed the sum and walked away.-Philadelphia Times.

FIRE EATERS.

The Trick oe Breathing EIsnnss and
 Sparks From the Mouth.
 Fire tricks were practiced in very ancient times. The first known fire breather was a Syrian slave named Eunus, a leader in the Servile war in Sicily, 19O B. 0. He pretended to have immediate communication with the gods. When desirous of inspiring his followers with courage he breathed flames and sparks from his mouth.
 In order to accomplish this feat Flu nus pierced a nutshell at both ends, and, having filled it with some burn ing substance, he put 1t In his mouth and breathed through it. The same trick is performed. today in a more approved manner. The performer rolls some flax or hemp into a ball about the size of a walnut, which he lets burn until . it is nearly consumed. Then he rolls around it more flax while it Is still burning. By this means the fire Is retained in the ball for a long time. He slips this ball into his mouth unperceiYed and breathes through. it. His breath re wives the fire, and he sustains no in jury so long as he inhales only through his nostriis.
 Various theories have been advanced to account for other feats of this sort performed by the ancients. An old ordeal was the holding of redhot iron by the accused, who was not burned if he were innocent. Probably some protective paste was used on the hands The peculiar property of mineral salts, such as alum, in pro- tecting articles of dress from fire has long been known. An old Milanese devised a costume consisting of a cloth covering for the body which had been steeped in alum. A metallic dress of wire gauge was added to this, and thus protected man might walk on hot iron.-Harper's.

howled in haunting manner, invit-
ing the engineer to come on. Twice
the animal did this and just as the
engineer blew for Eli, the coyote
crossed to the center of the track and
running to and fro, zigzagged be-
tween the rails. 1t would slow down
until the engine pilot almost touch
ed it and then it would rush for
ward at almost lightning speed. 1t
was at a time when it had almost
stopped and was looking back at the
engine that the pilot caught the coy
ote. The animal was thrown under
the wheels and instantly ground into
shaleless mass, coyote flesh and
skin being scattered along the track
up as far as the Eli platform.

STATE DEPARTMENT
TO RE RILED

Washington, D. c., Feb. IL
Lame Duck" members of congress
are not the only persons whse Of.
fetal heads will fall into the execu-
toner's basket on March 4th, next.
or soon thereafter. With the app
proach of the end Of the session, the
rumblings portending a disturbance
in the state department grow louder.
The upheavel is expected to cen
ter in the diplomatic bureau. Dis
missals, demotions, and transfers will
be the manifestations, it is believed,
Of the workings of the inner machin-
cry.
The clouds seem to be gathering
thickest about the head of Henry
Lane Wilson, of Spokane, Wash, Am
bassador to Mexico. Wilson was pro-
noted to his present post from the
legation at Brussels, largely through
the efforts of his brother, who is
we'll known as newspaper owner in
Washington state.
1t is said that Mr.. Wilson has been
most unfortunate in the effect his
work has produced upon Secretary
Knox. It is admitted that his po-
sition has been a trying one, owing
to the revolutionary and anti-Ameri-
can disturbances in Mexico which
have ben growing more serious since
last summer. Yet, the fact remains
that his work has been pronounced
unsatisfactory. Whether he will be
dismissed Or transferred is matter
yet undecided; the latter alternative
is said to be likely.
Since the resignation of Oscar
Strauss as ambassador to Turkey,
the department has been searching
for his successor. No one has been
chosen yet, and it is now expected
that transfers will be made to fill the
vacancy. Ambassador Rockbill at st.
Petersburg is named as the most
likely candidate.

the changes contemplated in the Lat.

Consideration of the Candidates
for the various posts to be affected
by the shakeup has been deliberately
deferred by President Taft and Sec
rotary Knox. For one reason, they
wished to devote their time during
the session of Congress to other more
pressing matters, such as the propos-
ed reciprocity agreement with Canada
and the potash dispute with Germany
and another reason for the delay
hardly less potent, is that after Con
gress adjourns, the president may
appoint without thought of the Sen
ate. That body will probably not
meet until December next, and thus
his appointees may hold office in the
diplomatic service for nearly a year
before the Senate need to be asked
to confirm them. Once in, it is be-
lieved almost any appointee will be

STORM OF FIFTY YEARS
AGO THIS MONTH.
w. e. Brookings, Pioneer, Lost His
Feet in Blizzard Riding from
YanktOn to Sioux Falls.

Sioux Falls Press: Some pioneer
writing of earlier Februaries for the
Press and Dakotan at Yankton, has
occasion to mention a pioneer in con-
nection with blizzard in February,
more than SO years ago, and the fact
that a street in Sioux Falls is named
after the pioneer, to-wit: Brookings
street on the north side, and that he
suffered the freezing Of both feet in
endeavoring to make journey from
this city to Yankton, makes the item
terest.
That item is:
There is nothing unusual about
these February snow storms. Way
back in the Pioneer year OF 1859, W.
w. Bookings, First Pioneer, as his
monument in Yankton cemetery now
reads. tried to ride horseback from
Yankton to Sioux Falls. He got as
far as split rock, got caught in a
blizzard and tried to return. He
broke through the ice on the Big
Sioux and was compelled to make a
run on foot for Sioux Falls to save
his life. Both feet were 30 badly
frozen that they had to be amputat-
ed. Since that early day snow and
real snug weather has often been ex-
perienced when February showed up
