Gymnastlc Exercises for Women.

The general utility OF gymnastic ex-
ercises will be questioned only by
those who are not aware that the
health and vigor of all the bodily or
gans depend on the prop 'rtional ex-
ercise of each. They insure III partic-
ular the development of all the loco
motive organs, and they prevent or
correct the deformities to which these
organs are liable They are best cal
culated to produce strength and ac-
tivity and to bestow invariable health.
They at the same time confer beauty
of form, and they contribute to impart
an elegant air and graceful manner.
Nultitudes of ladies OF the present
day are suffering from neuralgia, head
ache and dyspepsia, on account of
their failure to take needful exercise
Prior to the opening of the gymnasi-
nm in this town, it was difficult to
find a remedy for this failure. Ladies
did not obtain the requisite amount
of exercise, because the range OF exer-
cises possible to them was extremely
limited There is no popularity of
Dir. Hullev's system so deserving of
praise as that it is SO admirably adap-
ted to the wants of women. Ruskin,
when describing the kind of education
which would fit women for the very
high and influential position he is
anxious they should occupy, spoke as
follows "The first of our duties to
her no thoughtful person now doubts
this lis to secure for her such physic-
al training and exercise as may con-
firm her health and perfect her beauty,
the highest refinement of that beauty
being unattainable without splendor
of activity and of delicate strength.
That kind of exercise should be first
practiced which will call into action
those parts of the system most defec-
tive in their development. As the
only exercise OF most persons is ordi-
nary walking, which alone is quite in
sufficient to expand the chest abnor-
mally small-ill-formed>chests arc al
most the rule and diseases of the
lungs are the most fatal affections of
the country. Now, although it would
not be correct to place these facts al
ways in the relation of cause and eff
feet, still there is no doubt that they
are very frequently thus related, and
it is certain that tubercular disease
would very much decrease if only
some pains were taken to exercise the
lungs, and provide for their free action
by strengthening the muscles of respi-
ration and expanding the chamber in
which they work.-Liverpool Courier.

Laughable Incident.

At the recent murder trial at Oaka-

class known as g unwilling" y they hav-
ing all been more or less remotely

which the defendants we're tried One
Jacob kearns, u German of Brown

officer in charge of the deceased was
halted by the mob, when lie asked

The attorney appealed to the Court
and the court at length explained to
the witness his right in the case, and
finally directed the witness to answer
the question, and it was repeated with
great earnestness by the prosecuting
attorney, who thought he was on track
of some important fact. o. eaol

The court again, more deliberately
than before, explained to the witness
that if ne was only-a spectator. sand did
not participate in the doings of the
crow, an answer to the question could
do him no harm, and. after that pa
tent inquiry directed this wit
ness that he need not answer.
The prosecuting attorney, who, by
the way, was Ross Burns, OF Topeka,
then took another beat and showed
by the witness himself, that he came
up to the crowd only as spectator;
aud then again asked: ga1

Ross Burns, with a CLEAN of triumph
in his eyes, half rising from his seat to
catch the whole answer, vehemently
asked: 9"

perfect silence to catch the answer.

Mr.. Blunt, the British Vice Consul.
at Adrianople. in his report to the for
.eigr Office this year, gives an account
Of the rose fields of .Adrianople, ex-
tending over $4,000 or $4,000 acres,
supplying the most important source
of wealth in the district. The season
for picking the roses is from the lat
ter part of April to the early part of
June and at sunrise the plains look
like vast garden ftiil of life and fra

boys and girls gathering the flowers
into baskets and sacks, the air impreg-
mated with the delicious scent. and the

1t is estimated that the rose dis
tricts of Adrianople produce in the
season of 1866 about 100000 miscals
of otto of roses, the miscal being ! IL
drachms,) the price averaging little
more than IS. sterling per miscal. If
the weather is cool in the spring, and
there are copious falls of dew, and oc-
casional showers, the crops prosper,
and an abundant yield of oil is secur-
ed. The season in 1896 was so favor
able that eight okes of petals, Cess
than % pounds, and in some cases
seven cakes, yielded miscal OF oil.
If the weather is very hot and dry, it
takes double that quantity of petals.
The culture of the rose does not entail
much trouble or expense. Land is
cheap and moderately taxed. In
favorable season a donum, 40 PAGES
square, well cultivated. will produce
1000 cakes of petals, or 1000 miscals
of oil, valued at 1900 piastres the
expense would be about $40 piastres,

about R5 per donum, clear of all ex-
penses.
The oil is extracted from the petals
by the ordinary process of dist'llation.
The altar is brought up for foreign
markets, to which it passes through
Constantinople and Smyrna, where 1t
is generally despatched to undergo
the process of adulteration with san
dalwood and other oils. 1t is said
that in London the Adrianople altar
finds reader sale when 1t is adulte-
rated than when it is genuine.

We thank Dr.sHall for coming to the

AMUSING ANEcDorE. = Daniel Webster
had an anecdote of old Father Scarf.
the minister of his boyhood, which is
too good to be lost. 1t was customary
then to wear buckskin brooches in cool
weather. One Sunday morning in the
autumn, Father Searl brought his
breeches down from the garret, but
the wasps had taken possession during
the summer, and were having nice
time of it in them. BY dint of effort
he got out the intruders and dressed
for meeting. But while reading the
scriptures to the congregation he felt
u dagger from one of the enraged
small waisted fellows, and jumped
around the pulpit slapping his thighs.
But the more he slapped and danced
the more they stung. The people
thought him crazy, but hes explained
tho matter by saying: ~
Brethren; don't be alarmed; the
word of the Lord is in my mouth, but
the devil is i'll my brooches y Web
ster always told it with great glee to
the minister. - - s7-w

nay- 1t should be remembered that
the pianoforte is susceptible OF the
change of temperature and when tuned
in one temperature is out of tune in
another. Good and well-made piano
fortes will stand if they are tuned at
proper periods. Many people, as they
wish to avoid expense, will let their
instruments remain long ont of tune,
which is a great detriment to them, as
they are less likely to stand well after
being SO left. A pianoforte ought Just
" to be tuned twice a year, at least;
first, when you commence fire in your
room; second. when o fire is dlscon-
tinued. By following this course you
have the best guarantee that the IN
strument will remain in tune the long
