‘s»eepy’) eebeabeeeaeeea' Deep Breathing. Everyone must breathe, but almost no one breathes wellâ€"or as well as (he might. Breathing, unlike most other automatic actions, such as the hem-beat, «is more or less under the control of the voluntary nervous sys- tem. The heart-heat for t e vast majority of mankindâ€"althou there are some freakish exceptionsehas entirely out of voluntary con- ol; but breathing must continue more or less voluntarily, for there are hovered actions, such as talking and filming, in which we must by volition change its rhythm and its depth. The essential function in breathing h to aerate the blood, and when the msph'ations are of the proper depth and rapidity the work is done perfect- ‘ly, and an even balance of health is maintained. Unfortunately, most of us do not breathe properly; the com? mon fault is not breathing deeply‘ enough. ~The ixlspirntions ‘s-hould be‘ full enough to expand the lungs and; to open all the little air cells so Hmr- _. . 777., --- v-w "1“ Remember that, though si may give you a ‘Little pleasuri well to limit your bag that, in years, the birds may not ha‘ appeared.

In the spring of 1915, Delilah ar- rived on March 13 and Polly three days later. A shot had grazed across her beak and cut the side off, leaving‘ it hanging. She just stood around with I her mouth open. Jack Miner gave her custard and porridge and, in two days, he 'had her in his hands. In about a week or so, he took both ducks to a- photographer, srbood them on a table and got a picture of them. Notice how birds know their enemies and their friends. These diueks had been shying around trying to \keep clear of people lying in ambush for them, and now they Were eating out of a man’s hands. These. creatures are not so silly as we are: apt to think them. In the autumn of 1913, they mi- grated again, and 'in the spring of 1914, back dame Polly and Delilah and brought their mates with them, too. The young drakes were shy at first, but the two.duclcs cpaxed them down. 'llhey raised families that year, and, in the autumn, away they went again. In the spring of 1915, Del-ilaih ar- came home; on March 18, Delilah re- turned, and on March 30 Susan ap- peared, though wounded in the wing and foot. So the question as to the return of bi‘rds was answered. They migréfed ofi or about Decem- ber 10, 1912. Helen gut shot at lake St. Clair. On March 14, 1913, Polly Now, Mr. Miner had often been asked the question, “Do bird's return to their homes?” He felt sure they did, but he had no proof. Here was a fine chance to make an experiment. So he marked each of these four ducks with an aluminum tag with the words, “Box 48, Kingsville, Ont." Delilah’s sisters were Polly, Susan and Helen. They were wild enough little creatures at first, but soon learn- ed to eat custard and were so tame that a tap on a tin pan would bring them ,all running up for food. Delilah was one of a family of four wild ducklings. She was hatched, however, by a domestic hen who acted as her fosterâ€"mobhe‘r.

Of course we cannot devote all of our waking moments to a regulation of breathing; there are other things to do, and, moreover, it would be over- doing a good thing if we were to breathe to the fullest extent 211:} of the Jaime. What we’ should do is to prac- tice deep breathing out of doors or at an open window for a few minutes three or four times a dayâ€"before go: ing to bed and on getting up, and then; before the midday and the evening meal. I The sharpness of that one solemn stroke on the silent air frightened the Itraitors. They crept away, sulky and fearful, in the darkness. Outside the 6 gate the waiting enemy also heard i the stroke, and after a time they went } away bewildered. the blood in the minute arteries are exposed to the purifying action of oxygen. Deep inspirations also cause an alternation of the amount of blood in the abdomen and prevent venous stagnation, which is at the bottom of many minor iI-Is of the digestive organs. - As for the clock itself, it was never set back. From that time on .it reâ€" mained an hour fast, in memory of the time when its single stroke saved the town. The next morning the mayor sent to the gatekeeper to ask why the clock was an hour fast. When, he heard what had happened he ordered a great celebration in honor of the old man who had saved the town. Later on, the people set up a figure over the gate of the city to make them remem- ber their deliverance: a curious figure that once in so often stuck out its tongue, as if to mock the memory of the traitors whose plans- the quick wit of the old man had spoiled. A little later one long clear note struck from the top of the tower. Only one, then silence. The old man, leaning from the window, heard excited whis- pers below. . “Why doesn’t it go on striking?” “Could we have slept while we waited ‘1” At last, when it lacked only five minutes of midnight, he thought of a plan. Climbing the stairs of the tower as fast as he could, he groped his way to the clock and opened its case with trembling hands. The old man, listening in his little room, wondered What he should do. He had Little strength himself, and there was no time to get help. It; was“ even then nearly midnight, and 'his sharp ears caught the whisper, “When the clock strikes twelve.” That meant, of course, that the stroke of twelve had been agreed upon as the signal for the traitors to fling open the gate and deliver the town into the hands of its enemies. One night, when all the lights of the town had been put out, the 01:1 man’s keen eyes caught sight of shadows‘s‘kul‘king near the’ tower. He knew it was the traitors, and that they were their for no good purpose. The old man did his duty so well that for years no harm came to the city; but inside it were traitors who had long planned to turn it over to its enemies. The'old guardian suspected that evil was hanging over the city, but there were no soldiers to help him, and so he could do nothin-g‘but watch and listen. flow a Town- Was saveg Dy :1 wlwn- In the old. days when every city had to be well guarded the ancient town of Base], in Switzerland, was sur- rounded "by a high wall.
