DEEP BREATHING BEFORE BED
English Physician Gives Some Simple

course, should be open more or less.
After breathing in as much as pos

either mouth or. nose), the nose
should be held by the thumb and' fore

hfteen seconds to prevent the escape
OF air, and thereby force the constitu-
ents OF the air over the system. This
should be repeated from four to eight
times at intervals of about half a min.

The particular proof of this being
more effective than other methods
Is seen In the following experience:

The stone sun dial, probably of the

OLD WEDDING DAY CUSTOMS
Msny superstitions Have clustered
Around the Marriage Ceremony,
Especially In olden Times.

Superstition never clustered round
any episode of life more than that Of
the wedding day. especially in olden
times. = p
Then 1t was customary for the bride
to present her future husband with a
bunch of rosemary, tied up with rib
bons, on his first appearance on. the
wedding morning. This was supposed
to insure his love and loyalty. and to
make her happy forever
In Yorkshire the old superstition
still abounds that nothing more, I'M
lucky could happen than for newly
made bride to leave the church by a
different door from that by which she
entered ...,
Another quaint custom, for which
there is no known origin. is that
practiced in some of the midland, and
northern counties. This is to ring a
merry peal OF the church bells at the
first reaoing of the banns of an, In
tending matrimonial : couple. r. Is
called the spur peal" which in old
Anglo-Saxon means simply ask"
or course 1t is well known that IL
is the height of luck for the bride-t to-
be to dream of fairies the night before
the actual ceremony. So much was
this idea believed in that. many girls
would peruse fairy tales before going

DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inhamed condition
Of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachiian Tubes. When this
tube is inflamed you have rumbl-
ing sound or imperfect hearing and
when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness Is the result, and unless the
: inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal
condition hearing will be forever
destroyed; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catsrrn, which is
nothing but an inHamed condition

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. Jan a.
Nothing in the greasy, picturesque
old Chinatown OF former DAYS was
worse than the conditions found In
a portola alley slave den by the
federal officers In a recent raid
Il was thought that the "Old
Chinatown" was no more-that its
cellars and subcellars had fallen In
and made a foundation Tor a New
Chinatown. Occasionally there
were stories OF slave girls" and
highlander wars they caused, but
generally II was believed that the
old order had passed with the fire.
Perhaps a posse Of policemen
could not have penetrated the col
lars OF the Chinatown before the
fire. Il was said that even the po-
lice who were most familiar with
the district did not know all its
depths anG tunnels. and that their
secrets were ohliterated by the fire
OF 1906. However that may be.
there has been reared above the
ground a maze OF corridors. trap
