Save the Feathers.

In the raising of ducks and geese

main sources of profit We always

are worth something and should be
saved. as we'll as the feathers of wa
terfowl They also represent a clear
profit Few poultrymen in this sec
ton, however. save their chicken
feathers. possibly because they do not
realize that there is a market for
them These feathers can be used at
home to good advantage in the max
ing of chair cushions, pillows, etc
Whenever we dress fowls, whether
for market or for home use, we
spread the feathers out to dry in the

EXERCISE TO DEVELOP CHEST
Simple Movements Tina. Are Suaran.
teed by an Authority to Pro-
duce Good Results.

Look at your figure in the next full
length mirror you see. Nine chances
out of ten your chest caves in, your
shoulders round like bow, your stom-
ach protudes and you chin is thrust
forward like a prize fighters.
Now try an experiment. Take
long breath, push your chest out and
hold it to that position. Behold
miracle. Your shoulders straighten
till your back is like line, your stom-
ach retreats and your chin assumes a
position of modest dignity. Now you
are standing correctly, and If you
place any value at all upon good
appearance you must practice this po-
sition until it becomes second nature.
Remember that the grand secret Is,
Push out the chest" The rest Of the
figure will take Of itself.
If your chest is fiat and narrow you
ought, in the interest of both health
and beauty, to try to develop it.
Breathing exercises are the best thing
for this purpose. Singers and public
speakers almost always have good
chests, because they are trained to
breathe deeply and correctly.
Breathing exercises are best per-
formed at night, when all heavy cloth
ing, the corset in particular, has been
removed. The window should be open,
for there is no profit in taking bad air
into your lungs.
Stand erect, with hands close to the
sides. Inhale slowly and evenly
through the nose. Hold the breath as
long as you possibly can, then exhale
slowly and evenly through the mouth
Do this ten times each night. You
will soon notice an increase in the
length of time you can hold the
breath. Practice taking long breaths
when you are walking
Dumb-bell and Indian club exercises
are excellent for chest development.
Go at them a bit gently at first, espe-
cially it you are not very strong
There are other simple home exer-
cises which will help you in this direc-
ton. For instance, lie fiat on the
back on the floor, with legs and arms
straight and knees close together
Now try to rise to sitting position
without touching elbows to the floor
You won't be able to do it at first, but
you soon will be if you practice the
exercise faithfully, and in the mean
time your chest is reaping the benefit
OF the practice.-Woman's World.

Opium Habit AMONG Japanese,


When the Japanese came into con-
troll of Formosa they found the opium
habit widely prevalent, especially with
that portion of the population that
were of Chinese origin The Japan
csc discovered that GA per cent. of the
male population were addicted to the
opium habit.
The greatest percentage of these
were among the educated classes. In
an endeavor to elucidate the point as
to the 1nstigation of the habit, the first
step was traced in SO per cent. of the
cases to the use of the drug by med
ical advice
Public opinion was at first hostile to
the attempts of the Japanese in Grad
icating the evil; but now, owing to
the judicious measures adopted, a
strong public sentiment has arisen
against the opium habit-Dietetic and

Kellogg Durland, the author of

spending a morning with the children
of King Alfonso of Spain and finding
them bright, normal, healthy young
sters, was surprised to be engaged by
people in his hotel in conversation
like the following: "What a pity that
the princes are not right in their fac
ulties." "But they are perfectly
right" I replied, indulgently; those
stories are pure nonsense" ooh, no,
sir! You must be mistaken" "How

and I found them not only normal in

gent" "That cannot be- was the re-
ply, because it is said they are de-

and broke off the controversy, but
learned that after he left people had
specuIated on how much he had been
paid by the king to say that the
princes were all right.
