Exercise For Girls.

Several daily papers have recently
discussed a letter from Mr.. Fl. P.
Dunn, on the use and abuse of
gymnastics for young women. The
letter, as might be expected. turns
attention to the evils of excessive
gymnastic training. As violent
exercise produces bad results on weak
youths, and as girls are, on the
average, weaker than young men, it
is natural to suppose that injuries to
health after gymnastic training may
be commOner amongst females than
amongst males; and experience shows
this to be the case. No doubt the
best kind of physical training in youth
is voluntary exercise, either In play
ing at the outdoor sports popular
with English boys, or in rambles
over fields and hedges. For certain
social reasons, not entirely unconnect-
ed with physical matters, neither such
sports, nor such congenial walking
exercise, caL be carried ont in girls
DIS lnOIOuSnI1 do ih uO1 cChoOio, dbu
methodical gymnastics stand TO the
cricket in the same relation as a walk
with other fellow-pupils in line and
in class does to a.pleasant saunter
with one or two schOol-fellows along
a country lane. The aim of the
authorities at girls school should
be to allow as much congenial exer-
else as possible to every pupil, and to
encourage physical activity as strongly
as cleanliness and department !;
gymnastics are quite secondary to
such conditions. Mr.. Dunn is right
in recommending frequent drilling;
but in preferring dumbbell practice
to bar and ladder gymnastics, it must
be remembered that severe palpita-
tions are not unfrequently set up by
the use of dumbbelIs, even when
that form of exercise is not disagree
abe. and when the subject is appar-
emily free from visceral disease

What Next 2

The Boston Herald publishes the
following from John A. Bennett, a
well-known lawyer of that city {:
ga gain, Mr.. Blaine invites the N.
fdence of $4,000, 900 of people in one
of his explanations, and again with
disastrous results to himself. In the
letter to w. w. Phelps, which it
pains him to write, he attempts to
unwind the thread of truth, running
through what be had previously called
the utterly and abOminably false state
ment of the Indianapolis Sentinel.
By the letter it appears that he mar
ried his wife in Kentucky, June 80,
1850, supposing the marriage perfect
ly legal until the winter of 1851,
when he learned that, by the laws of
Kentucky, bis marriage without a
license was invalid. Then the know
ledge SO worked upon his aprehensions
that in March, 1851, he had it re-
celebrated, in time to remove all
doubt of the legitimacy of the child
which was born in June, 1851. This
is the explanation. What are the
facts I hat, by the laws of Ken
lucky and the repeated decisions of
its highest court g Marshall, 372;

valid. A license was not, and never
had been, an indispensable requisite

two years from that date, did an act
of the legislature become a law,
making a marriage void without a
license. Whence came these doubtsy
Nav not the legal counsel he fancies
he sought in 1850 have first been
sought in 1884, from a too careless
examination of the Kentucky sratut-
es? The cause assigned for all these
we see, could not have
been the true one. 1t is possible that
the early marriage may be as myth
ical as the assigned reason for the
second one."

Lost the Bet.

Edwin Price, Fanny Davenport
manager, relates the latest thing In
transatlantic steamship betting. AS
the Chester, on which he was a
passenger, neared the coast the other
day, the usual excitement iD the mat
ter of POOLS on the pilot was COTTON
up. Wagels were laid on the hour
he would be sighted. the side of the
vessel he would climb up, the num-
Der of bis boat and the other
etceteras customary on such occasions.
Finally, as the pilot boat appeared, a
speck in the distance, the list was ex-
hausted. Price was suddenly struck
with brilliant idea. He waited un-
til the small boat was lowered and
the pilot seated in the sternsheets
making for the Chester. Knowing
that pilots in general are inclined to
obesity, and observing that this pilot
in particular seemed to be of Falstaf-
fan proportions. Price shouted to an
EDglishman of sporting proclivities,
"Ill lay you sovereign that that
pilot tips the scale at two hundred
Done" exclaimed the Britisher.
Then they waited anxiously for the
of the subject of the bet.
When he clambered over the side,
putting like a porpoise, Price sized up
his man, and concluded he had a sure
thing. Pilots are never surprised at
the odd questions of incoming passen-
gers (knnwin.- their betting pro-
pensity), 50 when his weight was
asked ~ dozen voices alto gether,

GIRL GARROTTERS
A Frightful Story Of Depravity
from the Slums of Chicago.

Post Dispatch.
A terrible story of youthful deprav
ity was unfolded to-day by the arrest
of five little girls for larceny. Maggie
Doyle, aged Is; Theresa Garrig, "A;
Kate Hammond, aged Is; Mollie
Ssirnsky, aged 16, and Kate
Novock, aged IA, were arrested on
the complaint of Sam Yuen Sing,
the keeper of a chinese laundry at
No. 161 North Clark street. The
girls live with their parents, and pre-,
tended each day, as they left home,
they were going out to work in differ
ent establishments. They are poorly
dressed and show profigacy which
is seldom seen in childrel. The girls
had organized into a regulsr band,
known as the "Chosen Five" for
piIlaging the Chinese laundries.
Maggie Doyle was elected captain.
and planned all the work. Three
weeks ago the police arrested the
girls, and they fined 800 each, but
their fines were suspended on condi-
ton of good behavior. This had no
ei ect on them, and they procured
chloroform and visited a number of
lauDdries, three of them going into
the back rooms with the employees,
while the others chloroformed and
robbed the proprietors. They secur-
ed $40 80 from Sam YueD Sing In
this way. In court one of the girls
admitted they hid been visiting
Cinnamon, and that doctor named
with whom they had been
intimate, gave them chloroform. A
of Cinnamon have been ar
rested, and about twenty-five more
are said to be implicated. The girls
were sent to the Bridewell in default
of 800 fine. Reynolds is looked up
on as reputable physician in the
neighborhood where he. practices.
The girls told stories against one an
other liz girl fashion, and their nara
lives showed a fearful depraviiy.

car load of empty oil barrels to fill.
The load came and was full to the
roof of the car. the top barrels only
being empty. There was big ex-
element in that neighborhood, but
no one suspected what we were at.
So that night nv pard an two hired

of oil down the hole. Then we all

Pears grated on apples usually
thrive wonderfully for a few years
The gratis are short lived, however,
and only two or three limbs of apple
top should therefore be set to pears.
Pears thus grown are commonly very

fruit growers TO raise pears in this
manner for fairs.

Charles Wohela, an educated Yank-
%ton-Sioux Indian, called on the LEADER
yesterday, from whom we gathered the
following facts: The Interpretation of
his name, Wohela, is Medicine Bow,
and is the name OF the chief of the
above mentioned tribe. Young Wohela
received some instruction at Pine Ridge
agency and was afterwards sent to the
Indian school at Carlisle. He acquired
considerable book learning, beside get
ting a knowledge of several mechanical
trades.
Wohela is much interested in the ed
ucation of his brother Indians and is
here, he says, to gain additional knowl-
edge of the ways of the white people.
He is particularly interested in the i'm
prOvement of the Ogallala-Sioux, who,
unlike his tribe, the YaRktons, refuse
to give up the war dance and take to
agricultural and mechanical pursuits.
'Wohela is at present postmaster at the
Pine Ridge agency.

propose at once to commence the cree

They are not bound to begin operations
until July 1, 1884, but they propose to
commence much sooner than that.

of the organization will be Dyer, Col

will therefore have two-thirds of the
