LEARNING FROM THE RED INDIANS.
HOW TO BREATHE PROPERLY,
(BY LIEUT-GENERAL LORD BADEN-POWELL.}
[Special to "Hong Kong Daily Press," All Rights Reserved.]
One of the warriors of the renow- ed Sioux tribe of Red Indians once had a quarrel with a white trapper of the Fur Trading Company, and challenged him to a fight.
It was rather hard to suggest a fight that would be equay fair for
A
both parties. The Indian did not know how to use his fista, nor was he a good shot with a pistol, while the white man, though he could manage these, was no good with the bow and arrow or the lasso.
So at last they decided that they would strip off all their clothes and cach go for the other with a big knife till one or the other was killed. A cheerful way of settling it, wasn't it?
An onlooker who was present ask- cd the Indian, privately, if he was cot afraid of the white man, who was a much bigger and more power-
ful man than himself. The Indian replied "No. There is nothing to be afraid of in a man who keeps his mouth open." And it was then noticed that the trapper kept his lipe always parted.
This is very true, Scoats will notice that a strong determined

The natural moisture in the mouth gets dried up, and he gets indigestion and sore throat, and even his teeth get diseased through being too dry. "
When Not to Sing. When I was on an expedition in the West Coast of Ashanti, on Africa, everybody got ill with fever. We were continually marching through thick forests with dampf, swampy ground underfoot. It was. a 5thy climate, steamy and un healthy,, and the endless marching anong trees day after day, week after week, got on the nerves of the. men and they became depressed and slack.

It was difficult to suggest a fght that would be equally fair to both parties.
Breathing Through the Nose.
I was one of the very few who came through that expedition with out getting ill; but I believe that one of the causes of my escaping fever was that I always kept my mouth shut and breathed through my nose..

A Scout keeps his mouth shut at

If he should forget to keep it shut or find a difficulty in doing so at first the dodge is to carry a round pebble in the mouth. This makes him keep his mouth closed lest the pebble should fall

"The greatest of them, that of the fourth Cheops, built under dynasty, or about 2,500 years before the Christian era, disproves the repulchre theory.
"The stonework of this monu ment is extremely fine, but there is hardly the slightest trace of the
