Physical Exercise.

Physical exercise in some systematic
manner is duty we owe not merely to
our bodies, but to our nature. 1t will
vitalize the blood, quicken the energies,
give tirmness to the nerves and lay a
foundation upon which we may build a
wholesome and successful life. Espe-
cially should care be taken not to dis
cour, ,ge the young in their natural
fondness for physical exercise. Many
boys and girls have relinquished sports
eminently fitted to invigorate and
strengthen them, and which they
thoroughly enjoyed, because Of the
sighting remarks Of their elders and
from fear Of being considered childish.
We cannot estimate the evil conse-
luences that may follow when we per-
suade a young girl that good, hard
play is unladylike, or a boy that it is un-
manly. On the contrary, such sports
should receive our most thorough res
pect and most cordial sympathy. Not
to shorten but to prol0ng the time dur
ing which they may be suffered to pro-
mote health and happiness should be
our aim, and when the taste for them
declines our effort should be to replace
them by more cOngenial exercise, but
never to sink into physical inaction
or to countenance it in any
one over whom we exert an influence.
St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1882-02-18
Longevity Among the Rich
and Poor.

Baron kolb, of Germany, has recent
1y given some interesting statistics con-
corning the comparative vitality of
children under various methods of
feeding. OF 100 children nursed by
their mothers only 1872 died during the
first year OF those nursed by wet
nurses, 1888 died of those artitically
fed, sixty died; Of those brought up in
institusions, eighty died to the 1000
Taking 1000 well-to-do persons and 1000
poor persons there remained OF the
prosperous after five yearf 243, while of
the poor but 655 remained alive. After
fifty years there remained of the pros
porous 557 and of the poor only 1888. At
seventy years Of age there remained
235 OF the prosperous, while the num-
Der OF the poor yet living was but six
ty-fye. The average length of life
among the well-to do was found to be
fifty years, and of the poor thirty-two
years.
These figures are greatly at variance
with received opinions upon the sub
ject., 1t has long been supposed that the
children OF the poor are as rule long
er-lived than those of the wealthy.
Baron Kolb's facts show that the re-
verse is true. The author gives some
reasons for this marked difference in
point OF vitality between the two
classes. The chief of these is, among
the poor s'the proper sanitary condi-
tions and Of such food and clothing as
are needed to sustain the body properly
wears upon the system and not only
lays it open to the atracks of disease
but makes it less capable of resistance
to its incursi0ns."
St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1882-02-18

We publish the proceedings of q pub
lie meeting said to have been held at
Columbia in Caldwell parish, represent
ing that there are $4,000 persons in GER
tain parishes of North Louisiana in
destitute circumstances; and also arti-
Giles of the New Orleans Times Demo-
crat explaining and commenting Oh the
matter. If so many people are desti-
tute 1t is very certain that they are IN
able to pay their taxes; and therefore
the folly of an equalizing board to in
crease the taxes in the country parishes,
is evident. 1t the farmers are not able
to produce enough ON their land, to
keep starvation away, their land will
not bear more taxes. Even now taxes
are not always collected from those
who are able to pay; and until collec-
ton is certain there will continue to be
many delinquents. Nothing but the
fear Of losing their property will make
some pay their taxes; and as long as
every tax sale is annulled by the Su-
preme Court, there will be little or no
snch fear. Small taxpayers pay to
avoid he expense Of litigation; but
large taxpayers save money by refus-
ing to pay. The confirmation OF one
tax sale by the Supreme Court, would
do more to promote the collection of
taxes, and to equalize taxes, than all
the equaaizing boards that could be de-
vised. IL is difficult to collect taxes as
now assessed; and an increased assess
ment would make it still more difficult.
With reduction of expenditures, and
low taxes and prompt collection, the
State would soon be prosperous.
