How to Get 1t, and How to Keep In Good
Condition.

Condition.
Detroit News.
what do you do to keep in such good
condition? Isuppose you keep up your
gymnastic work all the time"
This remark was made by d Detroit
lawyer between thirty and thirty-five
years of age to man year or two his
junior. The former looked pale and
delicate, and he stopped little. The
latter had rosy complexion, was as
erect and 1.-the as an Indian, and looked
the picture of robust health. The law
yer had just been "sizing up" his &C
quaintance and admiring the firmness
of his muscles. They were co-workers
in Aliens gymnasium number of years
ago.
"No; I haven't seen the inside of O
gymnasium for five or six years. But I
commenced SO young and laid such a
good foundation in those years that I
have kept my strength, health and ac-
tivity with remarkably little systematic
exercise ever since"
II wonder if that's the reason my
physical development hasn't lasted me
better? You see l didn't commence
until 1 WAS "a or 25, and though I
worked up and maintained good de-
velopment during my two or three
years in the gymnasium, it left me
when 1 quit, and my muscles ore as
fabby now, and my chest as fiat, as
before l commenced going to Aliens"
II guess you've struck 1t. The time
for man to lay a good foundation of
physical strength and endurance by
means of systematic and intelligent ex-
ercise is between the ages of Is and "a
years. This is the time to expand the
chest, before the bones become set too
hard, 60 get the heart and lungs used to
accelerated action, and to put all the
vital organs into such fine condition
that they will do work continuously fop
years without repair. Let person get
o muscular development In the arms,
the shoulders or the legs in those days,
and he will retain it for years with but
trifing use of those members. I know
man in this city who has
the finest pair of thighs I ever saw on a
man of his size. In fact, his thighs are
so large as to be out of proportion to
the remainder of his body, and they
are as hard as blocks of wood. He was
drafted into the German cavalry SER
vice when IS years old, and should have
served seven years. He was Pole,
and didn't like the Germans, and at the
first opportunity, after serving five
years, he deserted and came to this
country. He attributes the unusual
development of his thighs to those five
years on horseback
"But haven't you taken any exercise
since you left the gymnasium"
"None regularly. I've been out in
the air as much as l could, though my
business has been mostly indoors. 1

frequently, and often when I get I'M

The marriage of Princess Victoria Of Hesse
to Prince Louis of Battenburg took place We'd
nesday. The streets were profusely decorated
with flags and thronged with sight-seers. At
ter the performance Of the civil marriage the
bride was led to the palace chapel by her grand
mother, the mother of Grand Duke Louis.
They were followed by procession composed
of royal guests, Queen Victoria leading, fol-
lowed by the prince and princess of Wales, the
Princess Beatrice, Prince William of Prussia.
and Prince Alexander of Bulgaria, brother OF
the bridegroom In the procession the
bride and bridegroom walked
between the princesses of Battenberg. When
the bride and bridegroom exchanged rings at
the alter, salute of thirty-si guns was fired.
Queen Victoria stood during the choral portion
Of the services. At the conclusion OF the cere-
Inony. she embraced the couple. The bride
wore the veil of her mother, the late Princess
Alice. All the guests, except Queen Victoria,
attended the banquet in the evening. The on

people. The strcsts were beautifully illuminat-
ed in the evening.

Why Apprentices are Scarce.

A contemporary writer saysit is prin-
cipally because of the conceit of weak
and foolish parents who could not think
of allowing their boys to soil their hands
with manual labor or tarnish their pedi-
gree by associating with common work
men. Many and many young man
have I known whose aptitudes called to
him with all the imperious demands OF
instinct to learn trade, but he was
prevented from doing so by his parents,
who preferred to see him filling the
more important and dignified position
of clerk, often working fifteen hours a
day for S15 per month, and sometimes
Welding to the small temptation to leave
unpaid his tailor's and washerwoman'
bills. Or, if he escaped the clerkship,
he was almost sure to be found among
the luckless ninety-and-nine profession
al men who stand off and
eve with green envy the
one in the round hundred who has
made success. 1t is not the lack OF
attention to the new workman that is
lowering the standard in mechanical
trades, but the folly of parents in clos
ing the doors of the trades in the face
of their sons, and in the absence OF
good material we get bad. 1t is very
often the case that we get hold of q boy
who has few or no qualifications, natural
or acquired, for trade, but he can
probably make more money at that than
Mt common labor, and, as we can get no
better, we have to do the best we can.
There is no doubt we are getting poor
er subjects every year for apprentices
for this very reason. But we can reach
point so low that it is impossible to
get any lower, and I believe we have
about reached that point in some lines
of business. Some parents, and boys
too, are at last getting their eyes opened
They are learning that they cannot
plant dudes and raise men. Many
bubbles have been pricked, and
much gliding has worn through. La
Dor is becoming more digniied, because
more than ever before it is welded to
thought. The manual training-schools
which are springing up in nearly all of
our large cities are giving instruction
to many boys whose parents, perhaps,
would not at first consent to them en-
tering the shops. These schools are
doing Q good work in teaching the prin-
ciples of trades, in fostering genuine
love fer mechanics, and in pointing out
the way to the special field where the
young man can labor with the assurance
of rec living his highest reward. With
such frightening prospects as the work
of the manual training school warrants
we see no reason for fearing that the
race of good workmen in any trade will
soon die out On the contrary, we be-
lieve we will see mechanics increasing
in numbers and skill from year year.

A Wretched iowau,sDaad.

A special gives the details of a horrible crime
near Roland Tuesday night Edward Ihomp-
son ayoung Norwegian, went home intoxicated
and tried to shoot his wife. He was prevented
by his wifes sister, who succeeded in getting
the revolver The wife got out of doors and
started for neighbors, when he pursued her
with an axe. Overtaking her, he felled her to
the ground and repeated the blow four times;
each blow indenting and fracturing
the skull Surprising her dead he ran away.
Her sister called for help and the wife was
found in comatose state. Surgeons worked
for hours extracting pieces of skull and reliev-
ing the pressure from the brain. 1t is thought
she has a slight chance of recovery. A search
for Thompson showed that he had plunged
head first in deep well and thus ended his ex-
istence He was dissipated and had made his
wife's life unhappy ever since their marriage.

The internal machine can hardly be
called new invention. The explosive
force of gunpowder was too destructive
an agent to escape the notice of the
disaffected. The shell no doubt sug-
gested the Orsini bomb. It was de-
structive, but it was bulky No man could
carry many of them about his person.
It was effective against individuals, but
powerless against society. Against the
weapons of organized governments it
was as impotent as the knife. Shells
thrown by hand were no match for
shells thrown from cannon. Conse-
quently, We lie Orsini bombs have been
used with fatal effect against individuals
they have never faced the organized
forces of society, and have had no effect
upon the problems Of war. But science
has been busy with explosives since Or
sini's day. It has concocted COM
pounds which develop ten times
the destructive force of gunpow-
der; it has put into human hands the
very thunderbolts Of Jove. They can
be carried.in quantities about the per-
son; they can be thrown by hand or
with sling. Nicely of aim is unneces-
sary. Whatever they strike they pull
verize, and kill all within certain ra-
dius. They can be manufactured cheap
ly, secretly and readily, Any manufac-
turer of bad smells in the basement of
a soap factory can turn out more means
Of destruction in day than Krupp
could in a century. Nay, the work
could be done in any back kitchen. If
the devil delights In the horrors Of war,
he must be in ecstacies over these new
inventions. They introduce us to a
warlike outfit, cheap and easily manu-
factured, which every one can own and
every one can use. Is it likely that the
block upon the game Of rebellion will
be continued long? Are the guardians
of society justified in ignoring the fact!

RRUPP'S GUNS.

than that of the British government at

900 guns for coast defense, like the two
he is making for Italy, and so he has
given Consul Potter, at CrefeId, the in
formation that it takes two years to man
ufacture the monster weapon. His six
teen-inch gun is tifty-fve feet long, and
weighs twelve tons. Undoubtedly our
chief ports should have the protection of
a few of the most powerful guns, in
addition to that of perfect torpedo sys-
TEN, and the nation should begin their
construction as soon as provision has
been made for the swiftest steel cruisers
possible and two or three of the most
powerful war ships afoat.
