the southern suburbs, have lately intro
duced n new form Of industry, which con-
slsts in collecting leaves, richly-colored
with the tints of autumn. and working
them into wreaths nj sprays, which
have a pretty effect. The leaves Of the
beach and wild pear, gathered in the
copses Of the hills and hollows of Kent,
are in much favor for the purpose, and

an the gymnasium, those exercises ara
the best which develop the shoulders, the
arms, and the breathing c-apacity-such
as the horizontal bar, Indian clubs and
dlmb-bells. But 1t is possible nowadays
for every one to have his w gymnasium
in his bedroom. With a pair of Indian
clubs, such as may be bought for a dollar
or two, the most admirable exercise may
be obtained. The proper use of these will
develop every muscle OF the upper part OF
the body. They should weigh not over
four or five pounds apiece; the mistake is
generally made of swinging too heavy
clubs. Light ones will accomplish the
same purpose with less exhaustion.
Dumb bells, which cost about 20 cents
per pair, arc used for the same purpose
There are various mechanical %contriy-
ances for bedroom gymnastics which are
all admirable.
TOO much exercise is as a as
too little. One should not tire ones
self out, but should do the thing
In moderation. Athletics frequently
cultivate their muscular organiza-
ton at the xpense OF their vitality;
professional athletes always die young.
For a person who is unaccustomed to ex-
e%rcise, 1t is best to begin with a small
dose, as with any other medicine, and to
gradually increase 1t. But / was going on
TO say that one can exercise very well in
ones room without the aid Of mechanical
contrivances. Hopping on one foot, walk
ing on all fours, striking u from the
shoulder, turning an imaginary crank-a

the best things / know of is to expand the
chest slowly half-a-dozen times in the
morning after getting up. The lungs
should be emptied as far as possible after
each expansion, and then rehlled gradu-
ally. The same thing should be gone
through before going to bed, and at
any time OF the day when one thinks
Of 1t. Any one who viii do this conscien-
tiously for a mont or two will increase

MRS. BLAINES FRIGIDITY.
How She Was to Manage the White House
Were Her Husband Elected.

Washington correspondence Chicago Newsl
1t has been the town-talk for years
that had Garfield lived Mrs. Blaine
would have put into practice a code of
social ethics at the White House which
would have barred out almost every one
who ordinarily visits there.
1t is related that on one occasion a
lady from Springfield. ILL.,, who was
visiting in Washington, called with
some friends at the White House. 1t
was one Of Mrs. Garfeld's informal re-
receptions. where carte blanche is usu-
ally extended to any person who is de-
Gently dressed and respectable. This
lady wore travelling suit. When she
arose to leave Mrs. Blaine approached
her and said A.: pardon me. we desire
to make these receptions very exclusive.
II you wish to attend in future you
must come in evening dress, or you will
not be admitted
A few days prior to the Chicago Con-
vention Mrs. Blaine and several other
ladies met in a fashionable dry-goods
establishment on the avenue. The con-
versation turned upon the result of the
Conventions work. You NAV be
sure of one thing" said Mrs. Blaine
- if Mr.. Blaine is elected the lines will
be rigidly drawn at the White House.
There'll be no rabble there. as there
was under Mrs. Garfield"
Mrs. Blaine's temper and rudcness
were perhaps never better illustrated
than on one occasion at the White
House Immediately preceding the close
Of the Hayes Administration. There
was no love lost between the BlaineS
and the Haycses, and neither took the
slightest pains to conceal their dislike.
Upon the occasion referred to the
Blaines had been invited to a grand
state dinner. Mrs. Blaine was asked
if she would accept. YES" she re-
piled. Il will; but I'll not take my
gloves off nor will eat any dinner"
and she did not.
She even refused to draw her chair
to the table. and sat like a sphinx du-
ring the whole meal without uttering n
word. These and similar acts of rude
ness account fully for the dread people
had here lest she might have the right
to live in the White House.

COLUMBIA. ). c.. January S.-The
Supreme Court has rendered a decision
which will work a revolution in COM
mcrcial affairs where parties undertake
to cyade just settlement of debts by
improper preferences. An appeal was
taken under section 20l4 of the Cen
eral Statutes. rendering void assign
ments by inSolyent debtors giving
priority or preference. The Court
held that the object Of the act was
to prevent an insolyent debtor from
transferring or assigning his property
for the benefit Of one or more creditors
to the exclusion of others; and whe-
Their this object is sought to be effected
by formal deed of assignment or in
any other way. it can make 40 differ

substance to mere form and enable i'll
solvent debtors. by evasion, to effect the
purpose declared by statute to be unlaw-
full. The opinion was by Associate
Justice McIver. Chicf-Justice Simpson
