simpler method for those who

routine into a continuous discipline in
breathing If the poor breather takes
the trouble to watch himself carefully
he will find that when he is engaged

Nature has many ways of thinning

these methods | have observed in diff

Seen pruning by rain.
The rain froze on the trees as it fell
and grew so thick and heavy that
many of them lost third or more of
their branches The view of the
woods after the storm had passed and
the sun shone forth was something
never to be forgotten. Every twig
and branch and rugged trunk was en-
eased in pure crystal ice. and each oak
and hickory and willow became fairy
crystal palace. Such dazzling bril-
