l'n all the various systems of physical
cult ure now in vogue the greatest mi
porti'neo is attached to taking the breath
proio.'"ly. The breathing should be slow
and eh -ep. six ureatlis a minute oeing a
miSe uvt rage. There is still a difierence
of opinio n in regard to the relative value
of abdoiL'inal and chc-st breathing, and
ejich svsti'i n has its advantages. One of
the best e: fercises for increasing the ca
pacity of tl 'e lungs is to draw a full
breath verv slowly and through the
nose. Keep t. he lungs inflated as long as
possible, and t hen expel the air suddenly
through the u. outli, ana repeat the pro
cess.
Care should .bo taken not to try t
the neriod of holding the breath
too long at the st'"t; the more gradually
the power of doimr this is attained tin
better will bo tho permanent results
There are many breat king exercises, and
one of the best is tlx. taking of a deep
b;J-ath and swimrimr tix e arms, first one,
"then the other, and fin ally both, while
the breath is inhaled. .Excessive prac
tice of any system should be avoided.

and judicious exercise sliould be ob

Au Outfit for Tnivelin.
A woman who has traveled a great
deal abroad says: "A steamer trunk
ousrht to hold all of one's baggage for a
summer trip to Europe. In addition, to
a warm, loose flannel wrapper for cabin
use and half a dozen changes of linen.
- all that is really required is a close tit-
ting traveling suit of dark cloth or serge
with toque to match sitting firmly on
the head in cass of a stiff breeze while
upon the deck, while some prefer the
letis dressy worsted or velvet hood to
protect the ears and throat; a short wrap
of warm material, a long mackintosh to
envelop the form during btorruy weath
er, stout shoes and a light plaid to throw
over the knees, either when seated upon
the deck of a steamer or traveling
around in an ojen carnage upon land.
"With this necessary outfit and a light
summer silk for tiie warmer da-s of
sight seeing, one is well equipped for
the longest journey, and may travel at
ease free from the anxiety attendant
upon the possession of the usual list of
trunks carried by most novices while
upon a journey." Boston Transcript.

cause them to be broken when a vacuum
was created inside of thein by the iress

Nevertheless. this suggestion ap

idea in aerostatics than any other offered
up to the time of the invention of the
balloon in 17S3 by the brothers Mont-
golfier. So late as 1775 Joseph (.ialien,

many of the present piano manufacturers.
The superannuated instrument has an
interesting history. The Nineteenth
Century had counted olf but three years
when it was bought by an English gen
tleman for his family of the makers, J.
& J. Hopkinson, of liegent street, Lon
don. It was made m the year lsOx! and
sold in 1803. It passed as an heirloom
from one member of the family to an
other until it cam; into the possession of
a branch that left London for America
in the year 13(51. The voyage was made
in the celebrated ship Robert Lowe.
During the voyage a heavy gale was en
countered, and the piano was washed
overboard with other things, but was
finally fished out of the briny ocean.
The family that brought the instru
ment to America settled at Victoria, 1J.
C, and they passed away one by one
until only two sisters were left. Finalby
one of these died and the other liecame
insane with grief. Then it became nec
essary to administer on the estate of the
sisters, and the piano was sold ly order I once and give it
of the probate court. The instrument I giiarnttf ecd every
then fell into the hands of a gentleman
named Johnson, who resided in Victo
ria. In 18G0 Mr. Johnson sold the instru
ment to a gentleman who had it in his
possession for the past twenty-two years.
During that period it has been at Port
Ludlow. Olympia, Whidby Island and
Seattle. Once it was in a fire, in which
ij.OOO damage was done, and it was
saved. It was moved from Seattle to
