Troops Ordered in Readiness.

WASHINGTON, March S.-The movement of troops by General McDowell, commander of the military division of the Pacific, is pre- cautionary measure. The Governor of Cali fornia has not made 8 call upon the Presi- dent for troops. The condition of things in San Francisco has, however, been reported to the President and Secretary Ramsay. From time to time the Chinese consul at San Francisco has made it point to re- port to the Government authorities the prog ress of the present unpleasantness in that city. Secretary Ramsay, through General Sherman, directed General Mcdowell to get his available troops into position to be ready for practical work should the interference of the federal authorities become necessary. McDowell is carrying out these instructions and moving into the city all the troops he can. It is evident that in the direction of affairs the State militia are guided by McDowell. Although the troops are being gotten in readiness, it is not sign that they will be used. If, however, matters should so culminate as to make it necessary the call of the Governor for troops would be answered without delay.

 tee.
 WASHINGTON, March S.-Count De Lesseps and Captain Eads appeared before the House Committee this morning on the interocsanio canal. The time was taken up by De Lesseps' explanation of the various routes and the feasi- bility of each. He claimed the Panama route as the most practicable, and that a tide level canal was feasible. The difficulty about the Ohagres river overfowing co uld be surmount- distance up, and the bed of the river could be used for a canal He thought it was to the interests of the American people to assist in building instead of retarding such a route. The Nicaragua route was impracticable for large vessels on account of numerous locks.

How TO Help the Children Grow Erect
and Stately.

William Blake, the author OF How
to Get Strong and How to Stay So"
spoke before the Brooklyn Teachers
Association recently on physical Elu-
cation" II want" said he, Ito see il
in an informal talk We can't hit upon
some way in which we can bring the
physical education of school children
down to a practical basis. Our child
rem, who arc healthy and buxom when
they begin schoylwork, come out pale,
sickly and with round shoulders. If
you require the children under you to
sit far back on chair and to hold their
chins up, you will cure them of being
round-shouldered. and the lungs and
other vital organs will have free and
healthy play. Another simple plan is
to have the children bend over back
ward until they can see the ceiling.
This exercise for q few minutes each
day will work wonderful trausforma-
ton. If well-qualified teacher could
be employed to superintend the physi-
cal development of the children, the
best results would be seen. DIR. Sargent,
now the superintendent OF the Harvard
gymnasium, who formerly had charge
of gymnasium in New York, has no
equal as teacher of simple, efficacious
means by which the weak parts of ones
body may be developed. | think it
would be well for you to send some
competent physician to MIN to take les
sons, and then the exercises could be
taught to your teachers. The first
step should be simple and economical.
Exercises of the simplest kind can be
begun without any apparatus. "-Nel0

Think Before You Do 1t.

The affixing of the stamp is in the
majority of cases the last stage Ct the
etter-writing. 1t is kind of sealing,
signing, and delivering. 1t would not
be a bad moral habit for man to
pause before affixing his postage-stamp,
and to consider whether judiciously and
conscientiously he had not better save
his money. When once he has drop
ped his letter into the letter-box he has
committed one of the irrevocable acts
of his life. AS you prepare to affix
your stamp, give one final thought to
conscience, whether you might not al
ter, improve, or altogether obliterate
that letter. There may be all sorts of
wrong and evil connected with letter
writing; but to specialize an instance,
you may have been writing an angry
letter. 1t may be clever, caustic let
ter, and you feel rather inclined to re-
gard it approvingiy, considered as lit
erary production. But may be pas
sionate and unjust letter. 1t may be
unreasonable and untrue. You may
be giving unmerited pain by sending it.
You may bitterly regret the moments
when your hand obeyed the immoral
behest of your mind. You have heard
of the physicians prescription about
the cucumber; to peel 1t carefully,
slice it tenderly, be gingerly with your
vinegar and plenteous with the oil,
sprinkle the pepper, brown or red, over
it, and then fling the mess cut of the
window. So when you sit down to
your letter my dear, and slightly excit-
ed friend, pile up your invectives, ac-
cumulate your adjectives, be caustic
and cutting in your phrases; but just
before you post it give thought to the
ethics of postage -stamp, light your
pipe with it, and save your money.

The news received from the interior
OF the Russian empire is heart-rending.
Famine and diphtheria are decimating
the population. The province of Sara
tot and Kief, which annually export
enormous quantities of grain, scarcely
had any crops at all last year. The
calamity is aggravated by the want of
fodder for the cattle, the peasants being
forced to sell them at any price. In
the Caucasus the famine is still greater.
Here the people are committing sui
eide, selling their children, and taking
other extreme measures to stave OH
starvation. The government and pri-
vate charity are doing their utmost to
alleviate the suffering.
