A strike-work stopped.

CINCINNATI, OHIO, Aug. 3.-In consequence
of the decision by the Bricklayers' Union to
not work where non.union hodcarriers arc
employed the contractors have everywhere
stopped all work, with here and there a
trihing exception where little hnishing-up Is
10 be done. This throws out the entire brick
laying force In the city, and indirectly stops
work for all other branches OF the building
trade. The only outlook at present for relief
lies In importing workmen from other points.
There are predictions that this course will be
pursued, as contractors are firm in their de-
termination not TO yield.

pism Used for Coming Late.

Emily Stott, who for twenty years past
has been engaged as nurse at the Freed
mans Hospital, has been dismissed from
that place. She also was seamstress there,
and both occupations she followed without
receiving any compensation. The cause
for dismissal, she claims, was due to few
minutes delay in arriving at the hospital
Sunday afternoon. Although quite old she
has sufficient strength left TO still continue
doing the work she has been engaged in.
Mrs. Stott during the war served as an army
nurse, and the recollections OF such services
her reinstatement.

On the subject of physical exercise
most people are fools. As man with
out n muscle is as badly off in this
rough and tumble world as a man with
out a brain. Parents take pride in their
children when their heads are packed
like a pawnbroker's shop with all sorts
of odds and ends of information, but
they do too little to encourage the sym
metrical development of their bodies.
They forget that robust health consti-
suites about three-quartcrs of the prob
lem of human happiness, and that 1t ~
criminal neglect of the boy and girl to
keep them at their books until they lose
all appetite for out of door sports.
Hail the men in the world are broken
down with dyspepsia and the other half
are broken up with rheumatism. The
women, who are not supposed to have
any muscles, indulge in the i-.xuries Of
sick headache and neuralgia. A hall
hours vigorous exercise in the morning
before the business of the day begins, n
brisk walk of n dozen miles, would
sweeten the temper and make life worth
living. Such is our physical condi-
ton, however, that if you should
turn the gentlemen of Wall street
into a gymnasium for an hours
torture with the parallel bars and fifty
pound dumb bells and the inspiring
trapeze. you would have to pick them
up from the floor like chestnuts under a
tree after II gale of wind. Our clerks.
and their employers also, after a three
hours trot on a hard road, with n leap
here and there owe fence or ditch, would
have to be brought home in furniture
wagons and n large proportion OF them
deposited at the undertaker's. We have
not yet learned the secret Of right living.
No man lives well who does not spend
hours every day out of doors. We are
asthmatic, rheumatic, spleeny and hard
to get along with at home because we
believe in brains and not in bodies.-New
York Herald.

There is n saying among the Russians
that n mar who is ono Of his horses will
not grow old early. The Arab and the
Cossack ARE examples of the truth Of the
proverb. They generally live long. Ell
Joy robust health, and have no use foi
liver pads and blue pills. That vigorous
o~ctogenarian, David Dudley Field, tells
us that he attributes his remarkable
vitality to the habit of horseback. riding,
and if the truth were known, il
would doubtless appear that ouI
sturdiest old men are those who have
been fond of the saddle. The taste for
equestrian sports and exercise which has
lately made such progress in Brooklyn is
therefore n hopeful and healthful sign.
1t is not n mere freak of fashion, but a
development in the direction of rational
enjoyment and IN assurance that the ris-
ing generation well be less of an indoor
and more of an outdoor people. 1t means
less headache hereafter, better appetites,
stronger lungs, roster checks, brighter
eyes, sounder sleep, happier spirits, and
n total oblivion of that organ which, ac-
cording TO Sidney Smith, keeps men n
good deal lower than the angels-the
liver.
