who are needing the same treatment, Sc
! far rs possible, are advised to spend the
summer at some fashionable resort
where one must dress, eat, sleep, and
I think according to fashiOn-Hgo out in
the morning for a short walk" wear
high-heeled shoes and other outrageous
incumbrances-al this difference of adj
vice because one happens to be n wom-
an, is the result of foolish pandering
to custom. Wedo not countenance any
practice that unseXes q woman or robs
her of her qualities of heart and nature,
as n pure and refined woman, but we do
not believe that good health interferes
with a woman being q lady, or that
properly indulging in muscular exercise
giving her health has any tendency to
regenerate the woman. This prejudice,
as 1t is called, against any departure
from rules of society and customary
usages IS all matter of education and
fashion, and where health is concerned,
absurd and foolish; it is not q prejudice
OF principle or belief at all-for that
which is looked upon as proper and
honorable, and creditable for n lady TO
do to-day, would have been outrageous
and disgraceful twenty years ago. Sup
pose a woman had appeared in the
street ten years ago dressed in a Dolly
Nardon, hugh chignon, and dyed hair.
would she have been tolerated? Vel
the dress was rs harmless as now-the
difference is not in its propriety, but its
fashionable toleratiOn.
We would encourage every exercise
that will add to and build up the physi-
cal health of the American woman; and
will look favorably upon muscular prac-
tices, rural sports, and outdoor amuse-
ments OF all kinds, that are properly
conducted. And with this view we
hope to see the American schools en-
courage the drills, croquet, ball-playing,
archery, rowing, and all such exercises
as will promote the growth of healthy
physiques, and strong able-boided and
able-minded women.

A boy was tempted by some of his
companions to pluck some ripe cherries
from n tree which his father had for
hidden him to touch.
"You need not be afraid" said they,
'for if your father should find out that
you had taken them, he is so kind that
he would not hurt you"
THAT is the very reason," replied the
boy, "why l should not touch them. It
Is true my father may not hurt me, yet
my disobedience, L know, would hurt
my iather, and that would be worse to
me than anything else"
Was not this an excellent reason?

A Jersey paper tells n very interesting
story of little boy in that State. He
was climbing an apple tree, and when
upon the topmost limb he slipped and
fell to the ground. He was picked up
and carried TO the house in an insensi-
bic condition. After watching by his
bedside through many weary hours, his
mother perceived signs of returning
consciousness. Leaning over him she
do for him, now that he began to feel
better. Should she bathe his forehead,
or change his pillow, or fan him? Was
there anything he wanted? Opening
his eyes languidly, and looking at her,
the little sufferer said: 'Yes; | want a
pair of pants with a pocket behind. u
He got them.

ISLANDER SUITS WHERE A LOCAL.
EDITOR WAS CONCERNED.-In all ages
of the world, says the Des MOines Reqis-
ter, since newspapers have had being,
slander suits have been their lot. Only
last week q Dubuque journal cOmpro-
missed a little $4,000 difficulty of this
description, and now a local ink-slinger
of Des MOines is said to threaten ven
geance dire against the Iowa Homestead
for certain structures appearing in the
last number of that paper. The amount
of damages claimed we have not learned,
but it must be large. An ordinary edi-
tors reputation is worth at least half a
million, and a locals good name is
worth-numbers fail us. Go count the
stars of heaven; compute the bubbles on
the oceans fOaming crest; number the
hairs on the tails of the cattle on a
thousand hills; estimate the sands on
Sahara's burning desert; enumerate the
colics i'm a load of unripe melons, but
don't try to fix the value of local edi-
tors reputation. It can't be did. Like
Cesar's wife, he is above suspicion. He
will out-Joseph Joseph and leave not
only his shirt but his stockings and his
toe-nails behind him rather than sin.
He is as incorruptible as Plymouth
Rock. POmpey's Pillar reached not
nearer heaven than locals character,
and the driven snow is sullied and dingy
when compared to his spotless purity.
All well regulated clocks are set by them;
they are so steady and regular in their
habits, and the equator is balanced by
them. Every morning Apollo looks i'm
at the third window at the Walnut street
front of the Register office before he
starts the sun, a wise precautiOn that
always keeps that fiery old god from
going on a bender. Money can never
settle the harm of slandering such i'm
maeulate characters as local editors;
blood alone can wipe out such a stain.
Let it be pistols for two and coffee for a
dozen, and let the Leader local hold the
other follows heah.=.N .Losenh llcl,c,.

nindoo Philosophy in a German Dress.

There has arisen in Germany philoso.
phic school built on the belief that, in ex-
istence taken as whole, evil prevails over
good-a school that signs for the annihila-
ton of being as the sole relief from its mis-
eries. 1t is one of Cousins most lust
remarks that the path of German meta
physics, opened by Kant, must find its
logical issue in nihilism. Indeed, the ro-
mantle writers, relying on Seedlings half
mystical system, did not hesitate to preach
sort of quetist Incidence as the highest
aim given to man to reach.
Thus Schlegel, with other critics of the
same school, was led to envy for man "the
divine idleness and happy life of plants
aud flowers ;" and, in his famous work
On the LANGUAGE and Wisdom of the In
dians'' heidelberg, 1909, to admire the
calm and passionless life of Oriental asce-
tics. Homer, whom romanticism had al
ready sacrificed to Ossian, saw himself ere
long dethroned by Buddha. The political
events Of this lower world had no power to
shake souls permeated by SO lazy wis.,
dom. Yet it was the hour of storms
raging everywhere--the hour for the crash
and downfall of the old Germanic editice,
when Austria and Prussia trernbled
for their threatened successive over
throw under tho blows Of Napoleon; but
all this mattered little to those mystic
spirits who persisted in living in an ideal
world, careless of French bayonets, OF the
embargo, or the Confederation Of the
Rhine. They averted their looks, espe-
cially from those low creatures who strug-
gle on the earth's surface to win their
bread, and proclaimed that the perfection
of the science of life is to do nothing. 1t
is true these fine theories were put forth
in highly emphatic style, which pro-
voked Richter's raillery, end gave flat
contradiction to the euietist doctrines they
upheld. Leon Damont, in Popular Science
Monthly for December.
