Walking and Swimming.


Every healthy person. man or woman,
should be a good walker, able al any time
to walk six to twelve miles a day at least,
and double that when gradually brought
up to it The points to be attended are,
TO see that the walk be brisk and vigorous,
not Of a lettering or dangling kind that
there be some object in the walk besides
its being routine constitutional e.,
not like the staid promenade of the ortho-
dox ladies school, and. if possible, in
pleasant company; that there be no tight
clothing, whether for the feet or the body,
which will constrain or impede the nat
ural movements of the limbs and trunk;
and that the walk to be taken as far as
possible in the fresh country air
In regard to this latter particular, al
though the towns are increasing so rapidly
as to make it almost Journey to get out
of them on foot, still we have so many
suburban tramways and railway lines that
in few minutes we can find ourselves in
the country, where the air is fresh and
pure. Whenever an opportunity presents
itself for little climbing in the course of
a walk, it should be taken advantage of.
We gain variety of muscular action, as
well as increase the exertion, and we get
into the realms of purer air and fresher
breeze at the same time What may be
considered as the weak point in walking
as a mode of exercise is the comparatively
small play which it gives to the muscles
of the shoulders and chest while it is still
less for those of the arm. This should be
compensated for by the use of light dumb
bells or Indian clubs, or some other form
of exercise which brings in play the arms
and shoulders.
One of the forms of exercise which re-
quires the action of the muscles of the
arms aud shoulders, as well as those of
the trunks and legs, is swimming This,
however, for many reasons cannot be
used as a means of exercise except by
few. and at certain seasons of the year,
but where possible it should be practiced.
The great pity is that boys and girls do
not learn it, as a rule, while at school
Every large town should be well provided
with swimming baths, and if it could be
made compulsory for scholars at a certain
age say ~, to learn to swim, it would be
great advantage to all, and also be the
means of saving many lives.

An Associations Singular Origin.
[Chicsgo HeraId.I

The origin of the famous association of
the Misericordia in Florence, is singular.
About five centuries ago, when F1Oren-
tines were busy with the wooden trade,
many porters used to gather on the
Piazza di San Giovanni 1t seems that
cursing and swearing were as familiar
to those old porters as to the modern
ones.
One day a poor porter. Lucas Borsi,
trying to reform his swearing companions,
proposed that they should pay fine for
every oath, tie money to be put into a
box, and that with this money litter
should be bought to carry poor people
fallen in the streets to their homes or to
the hospital The porters liked the idea.
and in time their association spread all
over the city. Che little compagnia grew
in numbers and In power many wealthy
men leaving large legacies to it Now it
owns large amount of real estate and
no man of mark passing through Flor
ence declines to register his name among
the brothers, if possible, such is the
honor attached to its membership

Electricity as a Railway Motor.

The following claims of superiority over
steam traction are made for electricity as
a railway motor: Absence of smoke and
cinders; it obviates all danger from explo-
sions; it does away with the necessity for
heavy locomotives and for tenders, and
allows Of lighter bridges and tracks; the
rotary motion is communicated to the
driving wheels. and there is no pounding
or jumping of the motor; no obstruction
can throw the train from the track, as the
current is neutralized by the obstruction
itself, and the train comes to a stop be-
fore the obstruction is reached. A broken
rail or an open drawbridge would break
the current, so that the train could not
reach the point of danger; by proper ar
raugement of connections it would be i'm
possible for any train to proceed to a sec
ton already occupied by another train.
and collisions would be impossible
