PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT
How to Get 1t, and How to Keep Il! Good
Condition.

Detroit News
what do you do to keep in such good
condition? ] suppose you keep up your
gymnastic work al thc time"
This remark WAS made by a Detroit
lawyer between thirty and thirtytivs
years OF age to man year or two his
junior. The former looked pale and
delicate, and he stopped a 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 ac-
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 a
gymnasium for five OF six years. But
commenced SO young and laid such a
good foundation in those years that /
have kept my strength, health and ac-
tivity with remarkably little systematic
exercise ever since"
II wonder il tlNs the reason MT

worked up and maintained good de-
velopment during my two or three
years in the gymnasium, it LEFT ne

Il guess you've struck it. The time
for man to lay good foundation Of
physical strength and endurance By
means Of systematic ard Intelligent ey
ercise is between the :.ges Of Is and "a
wears. This is the time to expand tbs
chest. before the bones become set too
hard, to get the heart and lnngs used tc

vital organs into s7lch fine condition
that they will &c, work continuously for
years without repair. Let g. person get

Advice to Bachelors,

Once upon time I read somewhere
in {. queer little book entitled "Receipts
for Bachelorhood, among many other
wise counselings in avoiding the snags
and pitfalls Of social intercourse with
the fair sex, "Avoid the Impulse of the
Moment" in fact, setting forth if the
we'll disposed bachelor beHares of the
I. of the NJ. he may escape one Of the
principal dangers his condition in life
exposes him to. There is a great deal
Of truth-there is no end of
truth--in the axiom, and it ap-
plies to many other things besides bach
elorhood. Another wise apothegm
might have been introduced by the
author if he had only thought Of it, and
that is: IF you will only look ten or tif-
teen years ahead instead Of allowing
your thoughts to run on the honeymoon
your good sense may assert itself ano
you might be spared. You should by
all means endeavor to ascertain what
your adored one is when you are moi
there; what she is to her own people
when not en- grande tenue, figuratlvely
speaking, when she has her back hail
and her boots off. If you would take
the trouble, what cause for tribulation
you might save yourself and perhaps her !
Does your angel bully her mother, or
her little brothers and sisters, or worry
the dog? I have seen the most de-
lightful little foot, with the most ara
bes4ue of insteps and the most roun ded
ankle, viciously kick little dog half
way across the room. and she who
would do that to her dog would like to
do it to you some day, yor may depend
upon it. If you must choose q future
"helpmate, " by all that is great and
holy find out before hand how your IN
amorataa has been brought up, and
whether the temper, if she naturally has
one, has been pounded into allegiance by
a ludicious papa and mamma. Believe
me the badly brought-up girl, like hot
house asparagus in the frigid month Of
January, however fresh and nice he1
appearance may be, will inevitably re-
turn rather more than soupcon Of the
mould she was mixed in.

full death principally from taking
chloral, which unsettled her mind and
demeralized her whole physical sys-

was the speakers third point. HUI
man nature needs at times some
amusement. It is NOT practicable to
repress recreation, and this is the mis-
take made by temperance reform adj
vocates. People drink for pleasure.
and If this pleasure is removed, some
thing must be substituted. In some
European countries drinking Is more
common than in America, but in
ebriety s less general. Whole fami-
lilies drink together, but drunkenness
is regarde as beastly. The truest
enjoyment is found in the beautiful.
both in nature and AIT. The enjoy
ment of these beauties ought to
be open to all The old
able of Orpheus is not so wonderful,
for people are easily affected by mu-
fic. Parks and museums should be
spened, with free concerts, in all cities.
and the speaker said il some of
the wealthy men of Austin
would give some of their money for
this purpose they would confer O
physical, as well as a moral, benefit up-
on their fellow citizens. Charity be-
gins at home. Applause Home
life is made cheerful and happier by
pictures and other adornments even
If inexpensive.
Happy IS the man who has a hob
by" and the man who has some occu-
patton in Which he can engage as a
recreation after business hours is to
be envied, as he is for that reason hap
pier and better. A really bad man is
scarcely ever found among thoss who
had such occupations, and while this
would not reform criminals, If begun
early it would have prevented crime.
