the street, in that town, in front of II.

Jumping Rope.

For many years the rope jumping ex
erciSe has been universally condemned
by physicians. as deleterious in the ex-
IRENE. from the excessive acceleration of
the cardiac pulsations which it superin-
duces, but notwithstanding this, the
girls of each generation, as it arises take
up the ancient custom, and she who can
jump a hundred without stopping is still
the heroine of the sidewalk, as her grand
mother was half a century ago. Every
one of these youngsters has heard the
direlul stony of the little girl who tried
20 see how far she could go over hun
dred, and how, when she had reached n
lew more than that, she dropped dead;
but that story only stirs up the young
American blood to beat the record and
there is many girl, who proudly claims
to have reached a hundred and fifty, or
perhaps even two hundred, without drop
ping dead.
The only consolation for pedestrians,
especially those who have the misfortune
to pass near school building, just after
dismissal, is that the jumping rope,
though perennial, has lis day, and will,
in the course of revolving seasons, be
superseded by hoops, and tag, and roller
skates, and the other diversions of the
girl of tender years.

Q The New Recruit.
Cincinnati Saturday Night. !

tCincinhau Saturcay Night
 In passing by one of Uncle Sans re- cruiting offices you may have been in- clined 10 smile as you observed a raw re- crui. emerging therefrom, trying had to appear at ease in his blue uniform. but failing utterly. He Is young man of twenty. perhaps. just offfron d farm. who has been lured away from the blow by dreams of glop to be won in fighting ln dians in the tar west. His sleeves are too short for his long. lank arms, and his great hands roushened and hardened by farm work, are a~kwardly conspicuous and iangle clumslly by his side. He sets his soldier cap little on one side. trying to assume )auniy, devll-may care air. suitable 10 the reckless warrior that he has suddenly become, bu, i, IS not at all in keeping with his downcas, eyes and bashful face, and the only things that he feels at home in are the clumsy army shoes. which nigh, have been made by his own eobblcr. You may smile, we say. as your eye follows him. but, kind reader, did you ever take in all the picture: There is frequently great deal more than meets your brief glance on the street. You might. if you tried. see tender hearted old mother in the little farm house he has Jeff behind. whose heart is filled with anxious fears for the boy she saw depart to make his way in life. He fancIes he IS man, able to cope with the world, but she knows his inexperience, and to her he is little more than the child she has loved and tended. And when she learns that he has enlisted and gone to the frontier, there Is deep grief in her heart and an abiding fear that she shall never look upon his face again. An, there are great many af- fectionate, grieving old mothers left be- hind when the battiesxoi life are to be fought, that the world takes little heed of, and that are too often forgotten by the ones who above all others should hold them in tender remembrance.
 Now turn in another direction, if you are accustomed to scanning scenes with your eyes closed and reading events by the potent aid of the imagination. l, Is easy to summon up scenes of savage war fare in which the raw recruit may he dcs- tined to mingle, and where the awkward youth may develop into lofty hero. His endurance may be tested by long and pSSttouS ufdINuCo. dud C6NlpiHkS out that would exhaust the energses of an Arctic resident Soldering in the ln- dian country is far from being the hilari- ous picnic which the farm lad pictured to himself while following the lazy oxen at the plow. or dreamed of under the humble roof of his ancestors. But once there he IS nc, ap, to shrink from the du- ties he has assumed. Many hero has been made in this way. Some of them have lived to come back and rejoice the heart of the patient old mother praying at home for her sons safety. bu; the bleaching bones of others whiten many tragic spots tha, tell of savage warfare. Eyes dim with tears look in vain for their return, and yearning hearts pine in hope less sorrow If you only think of il, reader, there IS wide atmosphere of pa ,hos surrounding the new recruit,

This, however, would depend upon the height from which he falls. The great est distance one is liable to fall. even from the highest buildings, is not much more than 100 feet. He will bc less than three seconds reaching the ground, and during the last second will be falling at the rate of say sixty feet m a setond, which is equivalent to a velocity of forty miles an hour. As people are riding at this rate every day in the year, II is clear that fail from that height will not make them unconscious.
