A well-regulated use nf our voluntary
muscles Is a very Important n Id for I lie
functions of digestion mill assimilation
of the fooil, clrciilutlon and mixing of
the blood, growth, production Hud ie
production of our system.
Tho clrrtdntlon In tlio veins, wherein
tho Mood Is i-arrU'd from the parts of
the body buck to t lie heart, It Influenced
to it great extent by the contrncilou of
tho muscle libera. If I ho libera of our
muscles contract, a pressure against I lie
surrounding vessels takes pliue and I liu
blood Is pushed towards the heart. The
valves which we llnd In the veins pre
vent the blood from Mowing back again
when the contraction ceases, a next con
traction brings the blood still nearer and
at a certain time back to the heart. (Ins
kcll nnd others have demonstrated by
experiments that the How of blood
through the muscles l Increased during
the period of contraction. For that part
of the circulation of the blood, svstenin
tic free exercises arc the most effectual,
and In order to carry them out syti'matl
cally we must know what different mo
tions the muscles produce.
If wo commence with the here illus
trated motions (and others specifically
described), we are Hire that we huut
brought the voluntarv muscles which
can be entirely controlled by our will,
Into rational systematic physiological
action, and hutc them better prepared
for dally labor, fort cd muscular exer
cises, as gymnastics, boating, etc., for a
better balance of our bodt- and for a
development of agility and vigor. Tho
exercises should be made at least
three times a day, and every motion
three times, which can be executed in
about two minutes. There are many vo
cations where persons use or een over
tax some of their volunlury muscles, but
do not contract the libera of the other
sets of muscles, which the circulation of
the blood and other physiological func
tions require.
1, The abductor muscles by spreading
the extremities, and movelhcm from the
middle line of the body.
2. The abductor muscles are well used
by drawing the limbs us close us possi
ble to the middle llnexof the body; xou
can do it after each abduction, but It is
better to draw the limbs close to the
body bv sepuratc motions, and when the
extremities are about one inch from the.
body.

To stretch and bend our arms and legs
wotdd not be sulllcient physical exercise
for a normal circulation of these extrem

brought into action for that purpose.
Breathing is accelerated by proper ex

therefore, wo have a more appropriate

Judge Ilurke Is no Idle talker. He Is
several times a millionaire himself. He
Is a director of half u doen great rail
road corporations, legal counsel for the
Vanderhilt interests, and an old friend
and neighbor of the man of whom he
made the prediction. His competency

Forty millions of stock nt a market

of tho $1:1,000.0,10 surplus, maku Hoeke

and securities, which may bo safely es
timated at $10,000,000 to $15,000,000.
If not tho richest man In thu world, ho
Is at least already tho richest man in
America. Neither the Astors with their
real estate investments, nor Jay Gould
with his great railroad possessions, nor
tho richest of the Vanderbllt heirs, can
mako any such showing as this. If all
accounts can bo trusted there Is not an
other such money-making concern in tho
world as tlio rituudurd Oil Trust, aud
Mr, ltockcfellcr's millions arc duplicat

thu mad rush of the age In which ho

Trust bring $70,000,000 annually to this
