think of what will be required of our

Our boys, with plenty of outdoor life, fearless as regards points of etiquette, will no doubt be victors in the stamp the name of ''tom boy" upon or tramp. We believe it sin ignated as servants to reap all the health giving breezes of morn. The sunrise is the best color artist.

Nimble fingers can easily repair the mishap. Sweep the walk, rake the lawn, prune, and even condescend to dig little in mother earth. Stout shoes and coarse gloves are much cheaper than drugs. We must strive to make it fashiona- ble to roam and hunt by mountain and stream. Let mind as well as body be i'm proved by striving to penetrate some of na- ture's secrets, and, oh, how richly we will be repaid. We have many fair girls in our city, graceful, willowy, charming. It is g real feast to the eye to gaze upon so much true girlish sweetness in both form and feature, but what we most need at present is real strength and robustness.

THE MODIFIED CHINEsE BILL.

THE MODIFIED CEIINESE BILL.
 The modified Chinese bill differs in impor-
 tant respects from that vetoed by President
 Arthur. It reduces the period of exclusion | from twenty years to ten years. Instead of
 requiring that Chinese who had acquired the
 privilege of residence in the country prior to
 November 17, 1880 (the date of the treaty.
 ''shall cause themselves" to be registered, the
 new bill requires that when vessel with 1 Chinese passengers is about to sail from this country, the collector of the port shall go | on board and register them, issuing certifi- 1 cates which will enable them to return. In
 the same way a Chinese resident who wishes
 to depart by land may apply for certificate
 enabling him to return. In both cases the | certificate Is to be issued without cost to the | subject of it. The bill does not require that persons entering the country upon these cer-
 tifcates shall be registered at the custom house, but masters of vessels arriving are re-
 quired to make out sworn lists of Chinese
 passengers. No Chinese can enter the coun- try without the certificate required in this act, unless he be member of the suite of a diplomatic or other officer of the Chinese government, whose credentials shall be taken as an equivalent; hence the bill does not pro
 vide for the transit home through the United States of Chinese in the West Indies or South America as asked for by the Chinese ambassador and urged by the President in his veto message It provides that any Chi nese Hound unlawfully within the United States" shall be caused to be removed there from to the country from whence he came by the President of the United States," at pub lie cost, after having been brought before some federal commissioner or judge and been found to be unlawfully in the country The term ''laborers" is defined to include skilled and unskilled laborers and miners And the bill provides that Thereafter no State court or court of the United States shall admit Chinese to citizenship"
 The new bill, it will be seen, retains the system of personal registration, the objec- tionable definition of ''laborers" and the clause prohibiting the granting of American worthy he may be to become a citizen of this ''land of the free" It is therefore not a great improvement upon the bill which was vetoed. Of course great pressure will be brought to bear upon the President to induce him to sign this bill, but it remains to be seen whether he will consider it satisfactory. It certainly does not remove all the objections raised against the old bill in the veto message, and the considerations of public policy to which the President called the attention of Congress are as much against the modified bill as they were against the original one.

4 Word For .sour Girls"

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Will you kindly allow a mother, whose daughters have been pupils at the public schools, to inquire why it is, while the board of education and the teachers are wrangling about this and that, the introduction of new text books, etc, that in proportion to i'm proved methods of instruction, stricter dis cipline and closer examinations, our girls seem to be degenerating 1n physical develop ment. Is it necessary that the brain be nurtured at the expense of the body Stopping shoulders, weary steps, short sightedness, catarrh in various forms, we are familiar with It seems to us that little attention to homely common sense, with not quite so much given to the uncommon, might benefit those perched on high seats on the educational plank. This increasing short sightedness may fill the coffers of our opticians and thus prove the ill wind that blows them good. still can we afford that our children have this most precious gift dimmed2 Has imperfect ventilation any connection with this infirmity? Can it be that color-blind- ness is intensified by light as admitted to some of our school rooms? With much hu- mility we admit we have much to learn, and sometimes we tremble when we seriously

The project for constructing a third rail road tunnel beneath the Alps under Mont Blanc meets with considerable opposition, particularly on scientific grounds Herr Helm, a Swiss savant, of the Polytechnicum of Zu rich contends that the piercing of Mont Blanc would be work of immense difficulty. In one part the tunnel would have to be cut through formation of anhydrous gypsum, which swells on exposure to the air, and is almost impossible to stay. Moreover, the temperature of the galleries, judging from the experience of the St. Gothard Tunnel, would be from a minimum of 867 Fahrenheit to a maximum of 1929.

The Pond liquor law went into effect in Ohio yesterday. Some leading attorneys have expressed the belief that the law is un- constitutional, and that opinion is naturally shared by the saloon keepers. A large amount of money has been raised by the liquor in terest for the purpose of fighting the law up- on this point in the courts. It will take sey- eral months and perhaps two or three years to get final decision from the courts as to the constitntionality of the law. Should it be found unconstitutional, as the liquor men believe it will be, all taxes paid under it will be lost unless suits are brought to recover the money back from the State, which would involve some additional expense. The dispo- sition of the saloon keepers, therefore, is not to pay the tax it is 1900 year on every sa- loon whether the business done is large or smalI until the constitutionality of the law is settled but on the other hand, should such a course be followed, they will be liable to arrest and to have their places closed.

that the relations between the undergrad

 schoolboy spirit of work" he says, ''is dis

 Wherever a firm authority is needed, it is

 Among the notable men who have recently died in Europe is Pietro Gasperone, the fa- nous brigand chief. He was in his ninetieth year when he died, and for more than half century was known as "The Terror of the Abruzzi" When he was only seventeen he took to brigandage as a consolation for dis appointed love. He had been 8 cowherd in the employ of wealthy farmer with whose daughter he fell in love. He was dismissed for his impudence, and he took to the hills" where he joined 8 band of robbers. In short time he became president of the gang, and persuaded them to make raid upon his former employer. After having brutally out ragged the daughter he slew her and her fath- CT with his own hand, leaving the rest of the family to be dispatched by other members of the gang Under the Bourbon regime he succeeded in inspiring the Abruzzi population with such fear that no one would betray him to the government, although there was re- ward of five thousand ducats offered for his head. When he found his physical strength failing him, he made his peace with the au- thorities, and for the last ten years had lived in an asylum for the poor near Naples. It is said that he has written up his memoirs, which are to be published under the high ding title of ''The Experiences of Nea- politan Patriot from the year 1911 to the close of the Austrian War"

NJ. Menuiseur Frenchman, has a novel and interesting plan for enabling vessels crossing the Atlantic to communicate with the main land. He proposes to lay a cable from Europe to America with a central sta ton, ship moored in mid ocean, and series of buoys, at intervals of 60 leagues, each numbered and connected by wires with the cable on the bottom, so that when passing ship desires to establish commu- nication with land an apparatus on board is connected with the wire of the buoy and also with the buoy itself, by means of its two wires and the de- sired communication is at once available. A vessel in distress near one buoy might, through the central station get help from ship passing near the next buoy. The diff cult matter would be the buoy. M. Menui- seur has not yet described it in detail, but says that it is pronounced quite successful by competent navigators. It is luminous by night, sonorous in fog, and easily accessible in any kind of weather.

The whipping post has not been popular in Virginia, and during the last campaign in the State the Readjusters pledged themselves to abolish it. At the recent session of the Legis- lature the law which created it was repealed, and yesterday, the law having expired, all the whipping posts in the State were torn down.
