honors had been paid aud his body consigned to

The work throughout gives abundant evidence
Of the painstaking zeal exercised in preserving
and honors paid to her distinguished husband
She did not discard even a cruel paragraph
printed in the New York Tribune, and it APP

placed upon his coffin. The book may be seen

GIRLS IN THE GYMNASIUM.

Increased Desire Shown by Young Women
for Physical Culture-Some Records.
New York Mail and Express
1T is notable fact just at the present time "
remarked Prof. d. L. Dowd who is proprietor
of school for physical culture, and whose record
of lifting l, Az pounds has never been eQualled.
when reporter called on him yesterday, that
young women are becoming more than ever be-
fore interested in physical development. There
Is shown among women marked desire
to become physically stronger. Hereto
fore the general idea among them was
that physical culture was only for men
and meant coarseness and abnormal
development of the muscles. But now they are
beginning to understand the subject better
There has been very apparent change in this
respect among them recently. Why the last
year l have had about fifty women, young and
Old, exercising regularly here, and more come to
inquire about the subject in one season now than
did formerly in two years time"
What kind of exercise do they most prefer9"
was asked.
ut isn't so much what they prefer, but what
is best for them. The only way to properly ex-
ercise is to do it systematically, and we have a
regular course arranged for this purpose. First
we take measurement of the different parts of
the body. We generally start off with chest
exercise, then the waist. then the limbs. Some
ladies have medical examination to ascertain if
they are in sound condition, or to learn if there
are any weak spots in their body that should
nave extra exercise, particularly regarding the
heart and lungs If any weak spots are found
these are strengthened first From experience
we find that rule, the chief defects in the
constitutions of the young women of the present
day are weaknesses of the back and waist, and
next the arms Their preferences here are for
chest developing exercise, and they seem to de-
test most that which develops the waist-they
don't want large waists"
Have you any records of what your young
lady pupils nave done during the exercising2"
II do not keep any, for the pupils do not like
the idea of having it talked about But can
give you several. One young lady who was ex-
ercsing here became SO stong that she lifted on
the health lift 700 pounds. Another. who took to
vaulting, who was only nineteen years old, vault
ed five feet. This was asplerdid leap for a WON
an. Last year young girl began exercising
VINO was twelve years old, but who weighed
ninety eight pounds. She began here be-
cause she was threatened with curvature
of the spine In six months she grew
three inches in height and her chest girth was
increased in itSr-expanson two inches, making
her chest expansion four inches. This was re-
markable when you take into consideration that
the average chest expansion is only about two
inches. A young woman, about twenty years
old, who was partly paralyzed through short
hand writing and Leegraphing, began exercising
a short time ago, and is quite well and
strong. Special work for every muscle on the
surface Of the body is the only sure way of sue
cesSful exercising"
