With our fast Nonpareil Chromatic Press,
we can do the very finest colored printing,
at prices very little in advance of plain
printing. This press prints any number
of colors at one impression, saving much
time and labor over the old process of

Physical Education.

Absolute health is only attained when
the body is equally developed in all its
organs and members. The man with
muscles of steel and diseased heart can
not be said to be in good health, and
diseases of stomach, heart and nervous
system are often-it may even be said
usually-produced by that system OF
development known as training. At q
recent rowing match in Philadelphia.
two plucky lads in contesting boats
tainted as soon as the race was over.
Their condition, which was apparently
good, was abnormal, and their systems
gave way because the strain which their
muscles met was. too great for the
vital functions. Yesterday similar but
more serious calamity occurred at Sag
Harbor. A Brooklyn lad, who had
taken part in pedestrian contest.
when removed from the track fell down
dead. He had prepared himself for
walking and running, and depleted mis-
vital organs to build up his inbs.
When the strain came the impoverished
and most important part of the system
gave way. The severe musular exer-
else of college athletes has carried OF
many fine young men by consumption
heart disease and other disorders di-
rectly traceable to the absurd overwork
required of their bodies. There ID 9
limit of human endurance. That limit
is reached when the body is impaired In
one quarter to benefit special organs.
The severity of the test tE which ath.
lete prizes are won seems designed
rather to award the laurel to him who
is least healthy, because more unevenly
developed than the really best man

PAINTING IN ENGLAND AND FRANoR.-
Painting, for all except Millais, Tadema.
and few others, has been poor busi-
ness since the depression set in abroad
and made even the wealthiest more care
full of their money. The studids in Lon
don and Paris are crammed with unsold
pictures. But the Americana have
arrived, ard there is change fpr the
better. Mr.. Vanderbilt has offered Mr..
Delahunte, rich Frenchman Of Irish
descent, $40, 600 for his picture by the
great French battle painter. of Ma
poleon and His Marshals. and II Is
announced that an American company
has just signed an agreement with Meis-
sonier to pay him COG, 900 frs. for two large
pictures representing episodes in the
career of the first Napoleon. With such
golden showers falling on their French
rivals, it il easy to understand the eager
ness with which the English Royal
Academicians await the visit of wealthy
Americans. On the other hand. Eng

A Brave BRAKRaAN.-A most daring
act of bravery was performed on the
New York, Lake Erie and Western Rail
way few days ago. Train No. 40 was
approaching Kirkwood, small way
station. Thaddeus Tanney, brakeman,
who was sitting on the pilot of the en-
gine, saw o woman walking on the track
. few rods ahead of the train. He seized
the bell-rope, and giving it sudden
jerk, drew the attention of the engineer,
who blew his whistle several times very
loudly. The woman paid no attention
but kept on the track. The engineer re-
versed the engine. somewhat reducing
the speed, and the brave Tanney gave a
leap from the head of the pilot. landing
safely on his feet. He ran like deer
mp the track. and reaching the woman,
seized her with hereulean effort, and
threw her off the track. The engine was
by this time within a few feet of him,
and, mastering together all his strength,
he gave one desperate bound, landing
safely among the bushes along the track.
The brave brakesman was slightly in
jured, but the woman's life was saved
without her receiving bruise. When
asked why she did not leave the track
when the whistle blew, she said she was
so frightened that she did not know
which track the train was on, or which
way to go. The train was stopped, and
the brave brakeman congratulated for his
brave act.

specially adapted to thepilrpose, has two plates
of SOLID GOLD soldercd one on each side. The
three arc then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result Is strip OF heavy plated
composition. from which the cases, backs, cen
