"I.oyclyv Mining Region.

Last week we published a glow
ing account of Sierra MoJada
mines but, judging from letter
to the Galveston News, the Mojada
mines of Mexico are pleasanter to
stay from than to settle in. The
writer intimates that il all the
reports of richness are true, yes,
even the whole range Of mountains
were composed of pure silver, 1t
would be no inducement to go to a
place where the nearest saloon or
bakery is 1875 miles distant. Be-
sides, all who go there must
expect to leave their wives widows.
When an American arrives at the
Sierra Mojada the Indians and
Mexicans administer upon his
estate without the preliminary in
quest held in other countries upon
the corpus of rash adventurer.
Then, too, if death is escaped, and
the American.has began to dig out
the ore, he will have to pay the
government % cents on the dollar
to start on. The coinage, porter
age, and finally stealage, will bring
the cost up to about ll5 cents.
The returned Texan appears to be
prejudiced against this new mining
region, and argues that the United
States will not protect American
citizens who are endeavoring to
civilize Mexico by squatting upon
her silver mines.

The Difference.

A writer in the Boston Tran
script tells this good story, appro-
pos of the late visit Of the Chi
caco Commercial club to Boston :
MANY years ago two young men,
John and James, Boston boys both,
were fellow clerks on Kilby street.
John went to Chicago in its mud
dy days, prospered, married, rails
ed family, and ere his hair was
gray, became q well-to-do, substan-
tial citizen, open-handed and open
hearted. James remained at home.
He too prospered, married, raised
a family, and became one Of the
solid men Of Boston. Now, it fell
out that when Johns oldest SON
they called him Jack-was 81, he
visited Boston, bearing a letter to
his fathers old friend, whom he
found in q dingy Pearl street
countingroom, deep in the Adver-
tiser. Jack presented the letter,
and stood hat in hand, while the
old gentleman read it twice. Sc
you're Johns sonf he said. You
don't look bit like your father.
then there was a pause, Jack still
standing. What brought you tC

Physical Exercise.

Were we asked to give a dehni-
ton of the comparative value OF
bodily or physical exercise and OF
habitual inactivity, we should de-
clare that the former promotes life
without hurrying it, and the latter
hurries life without promoting 1t.
The one economises the expendl-
ture of the vital force peculiar to
the working organs OF the body,
while the other consumes it; and
vet the contrary may happen from
immoderate or over exertion. The
body possessing functional powers
given for at least certain time,
endures according to the expendi-
ture of these powers subject, OF
course to the accidents of existence,
as well as our own acts. The
benefits Of moderate and careful
athletic exercises are well known
to all those who participate in
them. It's sterling value to the
human race is, that, as n man
cannot live by mathematical rule,
he possesses in it natural
and pleasurable aid by which any
excuses may be carried off and
errors often redeemed. To be
healthy, however, and free from
insidious chances Of organic dis
ease, he must at the same time live
temporarily. He must not make
exercise subservient to grossness
of living, for if he does, he will
suffer, as did the Greeks and Ro-
mans, from premature exhaustion
of various functions OF the body.
Exercise is, in short, the helping
hand, stretched fourth to assist and
enliven the various daily function
of his framework, whereas the
other condition is dragging it though
the mire. With the ancients as it
should be with ourselves, age was
obviously held to be relative
thing. Ard it can hardly yet be
said that we have improved on the
suggestions they have furnished US
regarding it. In those days men
of mature years exercised daily
in order to ward off old age. The
principles which guide and control
human life must be ever the same.
Man in his purely physical being,
though his nature be adapted to
climatic circumstances, is yet the
same, yesterday. to-day, and for
ever. We differ from our fellows
in degree, but little in kind. With
them, also, the exercise of the
muscles, and, consequently the
whole body, was simply a part
of their education. We find that the
physical department of the Greeks,
the great models of the science OF
education, were not only places with
sundry ropes, pulleys, bars, etc,
as we recognize the gymnasium OF
the present day, but capacious
edifice where the philosophers
both studied and taught, and where
the physical and mental divisions
of the human frame received an
equal share of attention. In fact,
atthat period the whole art of edu-
cation was embodied in the well.
known legend: "Mens sana il
corpore sano." This soundness pro-
ceeded from the mutual balancing
of the two forces-the physical anf
mental-which could alone result
from a perfect harmony in the
working of the several parts of the
human frame.-Sporting Maya
