Breathing Through the Month
Is Beat Grace-
Swing.
Running is one of the best of
for the whole body. It rounds
out a hollow chest, drives the
gen the farthest air-cells of the
lungs, wonderfully Increases tho
capacity and develops the leg, thigh,
stomach and waist muscles. But it
must be learned, just as skating,
swimming bicycling have to
learned, and there are two things
which must be kept in mind by the
learner. The first in
sprinting, distance or cross-country
run entirely on the
ball of the foot, or, as say on tin-
on your By
striking on ball of the for,
is a natural springboard,
runner takes a longer stride, and the
spring that he gets enables Mm to
lift his foot more rapidly repeal
the stride more quickly than the
runner who goes flat-footed. As
length and rapidity of stride are
what give speed in running, it lot-
lows that a flat-footed runner can
never be a fast Another reason
against away flat-footed
is that the delicate mechanism of the
ankle, knee and hip is jarred and
may In time be Injured.
The second point for a to
observe is his method of breathing.
Breathe through both the nose and
mouth. Nearly every boy when he
first begins to run has the Insane
idea that all the breathing must be
done through the nose. There
never a greater mistake. When u
boy runs his heart beats much faster
than it does ordinarily, and pomps
out just so much more blood. All
this must be aerated or purified by
air from the lungs. The oppression
that one feels when beginning to run
is due to the lungs demanding more
for the extra quantity of blood
which the heart is sending out.
Nature has looked out for this and
provided a way by which air can tie
furnished to the lungs very rapidly.
It is a very simple way, and consists
of merely opening the mouth.
Breathe, then, through the nose in
ordinary life as much as possible,
but when you arc running or
violently open the mouth and
take in air in deep rapid breaths,
not gulping It In through the mouth
alone, but letting the mouth and
nose have each their share.
Take as long a stride as possible,
but overbalancing the body.
Bend the body slightly from the
hips, for if it be held ton the
stride will be shortened. Let the
bent arms swing easily and natural-
a little above the level of the hips,
swinging out every
stride. This keeps the louse,
from becoming tired
so easily u.-. they would if held rigid,
and balances the body better. Take
pains to keep the body
being stiff; int it swing as easily and
lithely as possible, sprinting the
st ride is shorter and more rapid than
running, and a
sprinter usually runs with body
thrown further quite differ-
form from the long, easy lose of

Singular Sanity.
An Italian named was trial
at Nev York for the murder of his
wife. To test his sanity two medical
experts resorted to a singular
method. They went to cell
and there rehearsed before him the
supposed scene of his wife's murder.
Next a dummy was Introduced, and
the prisoner was asked to show them
just how he had committed the
crime, which he did. All this time
a recording instrument had been at-

Watch Dials
When watch dials are enameled
they arc first prepared with a back-
of sheet iron, having raised
edges to receive the enamel in
powder, which is fused. After
cooling, the lettering and figuring
are printed on the plate with soft
black enamel by transferring. The
dial is again placed in a or
oven-shaped vessel, to fuse the
of the lettering or figuring.
The enamel used is composed of
arsenic, flint-glass, salt-

It is somewhat range that the
new malady which has appeared in
the American telephone exchanges
Is most prevalent in California,
while being almost entirely unknown
in the eastern states. The fatigue

sometimes to cease work altogether
for some days. It is not yet ex-
plained whether the affection is due
to defective apparatus or to over-
work. Further light on this subject
is especially desirable, as it may
give most valuable suggestions to
who are now treating certain
ear affections by sound vibrations
produced through the telephone.
The Idea Is favored by some
practitioners that in many eases ab-

healthy activity by the

In many of the best-equipped

has been made for reducing the car

a small electric lamp, which, work-

One of the sights of Seville, Spain,
which no tourist misses, is the cigar-

women girls, says the Pitts-
burgh Dispatch. The showing about
of visitors is accordingly looked upon
as a regular source of income by the
and matrons. After getting
permission to enter, you are placed
in charge of a matron, who shows
you through her own department
and then passes you on to another,
and so on, until your stock of pesetas

Kissed Her.
There was a little comedy enacted
at the corner of Ninth and
nut streets shortly before eight
o'clock the other evening, which was
hugely enjoyed by a small but select
audio-use. A pretty young lady,
with black hair big brown
eyes, had just left an adjacent
restaurant with a bashful young
man. The latter seemed eager to
get a tray from his fair
but didn't seem, to just how
go about t. people who
were waiting for a car were startled
to hear the young woman

Of course everybody turned
to look. The bashful young man
grew very red la the face, but the
maiden put up a pair of
tempting red lips and waited for the

remarked one of the bystanders.
The bashful youth seemed
mined whether to take the proffered
advice or take to his heels. He Anal-
decided upon the former course,
stooped over the patient, upturned
face. Then there was a sounding
smack, a suppressed scream, and the
young man disappeared hastily up
Ninth street, while the young woman
strolled leisurely out

Fighting Consumption.
Consumption or tuberculosis has
been the subject of early and more
vigorous efforts to check its trans
mission in Prussia than elsewhere, as
is natural considering that Dr. Koch
is a Berlin professor. The result is
that while from 1875 to 1887, before
his discovery, tho deaths from
or consumption were in
since 1887 there has been a
gradual decrease to in
Elsewhere this decrease has not
place. Prussian prisons and
insane asylums show a reduction in
their death rate from

adopted. The death rate from this
cause among religious pursing or-

In 1803-4 It had dropped to
most half. Facts like these show
the absolute necessity of careful

An English Soldier's Deed of Marked
Heroism.
In the reminiscences of Gen. Sir
Evelyn Wood, himself a brave Eng-
soldier, a touching instance of
courage and self-sacrifice is given.
One hue day in 1855, a detachment
of English marines were crossing
the road under fire from
the Russian batteries. All of the
men reached shelter in the trenches
except a seaman, John As

heard. His mates knew the voice
of a huge cannon, the terror of the
army, and

Welch ran out of the trenches, and j

It exploded with such
force that not an atom of tho bodies
of or. Welch was found.
Even in that time, when each hour
had its excitement, this deed of
heroism stirred the whole English
army. One of the officers searched
out old mother in her poor
home, and undertook her support
while she lived, and the story of his

conceptions of a soldier's duty.
