English View of American Gymnnstics.
Some five and twenty years ago DR..
bio Lewis, of b ,ston. who was the great
%innovating thinker and reformer of his
day, invented a system of new gym
n~astics," which carried everything be-
fore it until it simply broke down under
its own weight. The great glory of this
scheme was that free gymnastics could
be carried out in anv school-room with
out removing the desks. 1t was very
good of DIR. Lewis to show young people
how to hang about in pl.y hours in the
fetid chamber in which they had been
working all day, and to substitute the
stimulating association of the diagrams
and globes for that of the sunshine and
green sward. No wonder that n trans
lation of Professor Kloss' "Pangymnas-
tikon" was widely read at the same ex-
hilarating time.
DIR. Lewis did not contemn pleasure or
recI cation, he only wanted to invent it
all over again. There were ball games
and bean games in his system. with all
sorts of madly frolicsome performances
with bags, rings, wands. wooden dumb
bells and small clubs" Fired by his sue
cess, Miss Catherine Beecher tried a new
set of graceful movement to the sound
of music" which were to make dancing
as old-fashioned as the spinning-wheel.
But they did not. They ran through
the east, like any other craze, then went
west. and were never heard of again.
1t was the transatlantic danse Macabre,
and while it lasted the polka, the waltz,
the country dance. and ever the taran-
tella of Europe, must have trembled in
their silken shoes. 1t is an American,
we believe, who has invented the art OF
laying on paint with a blow-pipe instead
of laying it on with a crush. at a "sav-
ing of manual labor" to the Titians of
the future of at least go per cent.-Lon-

Judge Stephen Bnrdett HYATT of thu

France, three years ago. and upon his
return told this interestin, fact concern

day after day. One fact / discovered

was first brought to my notice | made il
n study to search for such a number. !
always found number twelve. but the
mex number was invariably douzs bis
twelve-and-a-half. And this is owing
to the superstition of the French people
concerning the number thirteen. which

In his nervousness saying exactly tho
wrong thing, he added: Dear me. Mr..
Pipps, what has brought you-you who
were so Industrious. such a dandy. such
a-ahem! such a society man-to this?"
Philip p. Pipps looked at him for a
moment. and smiled bitterly, half in
tending to forge some excuse. Good
heavens, Sir Dash" said he, at length,
have you never suspected that l came
to grief through you? that this pitiable
shabby-looking man is your unconscious
handiwork?"
Mine! Really. Mr.. Pipps, what do
you mean? Are YOU mad?"
II mean this. Sir Dash-I beg your
pardon. Lord Asterisk-thank YOU
That violin-that Guarnerius YOU lent
me to play at Lady Bareacres' at home
AS went home that evening l lost it,;
there was only one other in London to
be had at the time. and the cruel wretch
who owned it made me pay 800 pounds
sterling for it. This sum | had to get at
once. / raised the money among the
Jews. and paid. in the long rum. nearly
5000 pounds sterling for it. But | re-
turned you a fiddle for yours. and to-day
only to-day-I am clear of the debts l
incurred to pay for it,"
His lordship would have fallen down
had not his footman supported him. Mr..
Pipps was moving off when Lord AS
terisk stopped him with a sign. Fol
low me-" he whispered, and Pipps en-
tered once more the room which was so
intimately connected with all his
miseries.
The privy councillor sat down with
his face in his hands. and Philip Pottiu-
ger PippS stood, as of yore, on the other
side of the table. For a few moments
not a word vas said. Then his lordship
broke the silence.
MY poor dear fellow, you have dark
enel the rest of my life, as ! nave ruined
yours. This is a dreadful revenge.
though you don't know it as yet. But
forgive mo. if you can, when you have
heard what l have to say to YOU. The
violin | lent to you was not a Guarnerius
at all. / merely said 50 in fun. to see
whether you would know that the in
strument was not genuine. l gave five
pounds sterling for it. When you told
me it was damaged | was so annoyed
with you, thinking that in having it re-
paired you would find out its worthless
ness, that did not undeceive you. The
violin you brought back l never ex-
aInined again; | sold it next day for ten
poun4s sterling. Hushl don't speak;
you must know all. out it is horrible
horrible! That violin you bought from
me. l heard from my dealer that a
wealthy young amateur must nav a
Guarnerius at once, so we charged a
high price for a genuine instrument that
l had at home. You lost a worthless
fiddle, and in order to return n to me
in its place ruine'i yourself in buying
from me an instrument which | sold
next day for a mere nothing!"-London

1T is WONDERFUL.

How easily rheumatism begins, and how in
siduously it grows in the system until one
is startled to find himself its victim in
either the acute or chronic form. He then
learns the fearful tenacity of its grip and
the utter pOwerleSSneSS of the ordinary
remedies to give relief.
Probably to no disease have physicians
given more study, and none has more COM
pletely baffled their efforts to provide spe-
ctic; and until AthlOphoros was discov-
cred there was no medicine which would
surely cure rheumatism, neuralgia and
nervous or sick headache. Thousands of
testimonials like the following prove be-
yond question that Athlophoros is the only
reliable remedy, and that it will do all that
is claimed for it,
Englewood. Kansas.
Athlophoros has done me more good than
all other medicine put together, for was
great sufferer from rheumatism and neu-
ralgia, and can say to- day | am free from
both complaints. MRS. MARIA STONE.
w. S. Hopkina, 179 c avenue, Cedar
Rapids. Ia. says: MY wife and daughter
were both stricken with inf1ammatory rheu-
matism at the same time. The lower limbs
were much swollen; the pain seemed much
beyond endurance: sleep was out of the
question:; they suffered so much that to
move or even touch the sheet on the bed
would cause the most violent pain. They
were confined to the bed four weeks. Dur
ing that time and previous l bought many
kinds of medicine. then l employed a
physician. but nothing gave relief until 1
heard of AthlophorOs. l bought bottle
at once. and am glad to say in very short
time the swelling was reduced, the pain
gone and they were entirely WE'LL"
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and AthlophOros Pills. but where they can
not be bought of the druggist the Athlo
phoros Company, liz Wall street, New
York, will send either carriage paid). on re-
ceipt of regular price. which is 81 per bottle
for Athlophoros and so cents for Pills.
For liver and kidney diseases. dyspepsia,
indigestion. weakness. nervous debility, dis
eases of women, constipation, headache,

MATTERS FOR LEGiSLATION.

IerS " hich the State Lawmakers
May Take Action On.
At the regular meeting of the West Side
union last evening fifteen members were
present. The president, A. l.. Lewis, &C.
eupied the chair. and in the absence of Sec
rotary Bell w. NJ. BOle was appointed sec
rotary pro TEN. Mr.. Lienau called up the
resolution offered by him at the last meet
ing relating to a conference with citizens of
West St Paul township to be held Dec. 4,
at p. M, for the purpose of discussing
matters of joint interest, such as laying out
additions, grading streets, etc. He stated
that the township supervisors had very little
authority, and as the town was being settled
very fast some legislation was needed. The
resolution was passed and MesSrs.
Lienau. Mcdonnell and Boston were ap-
pointed a committee to invite citizens of the
township to the conference. Mr.. Bole, of
the committee on the ACCESSIBILITY of erect
ing an ice palace skating rink near Robert
street bridge, presented a resolution favor
ing the scheme, which was adopted. On
motion of Mr.. Campbell the union went
into committee of the whole to discuss the
Ontario plan. Mr.. Campbell reviewed the
agitation Of the Ontario plan, stating the
objections that had been made to it, one of
which was that it was asked only by few.
He read a petition for law allowing
INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS
for local improvements which he wanted
signed by members and by citizens of the
ward generally. Mr.. Lienau feared a
large issue of bonds would affect
the credit of the city. and did not favor the
plan. Mr.. Erdman spoke in favor and Mr..
Stanley against the plan. Mr.. Bole said
that many of the opponents of the scheme
denominate it dangerous experiment, but
that it had been tried elsewhere and had
worked satisfactorily. DR.. Mcnamara
thought that all the objections raised
against the plan had been properly met.
Mr.. Lienau thought the provision to have
all benefits under the plan forfeited if one
payment was defaulted, would cause greater
hardShipS than occur under the pres
ent method. Mr.. Doran thought
that some plan was needed by
which property owners could be relieved of
some of the present burdens. MI. McDon-
nell opposed the new scheme, thinking some
notifications of the present method would
meet the difficulty. Mr.. Lienau moved to
amend by striking out the words 10 per
cent" and inserting "a lower rate of inter-
est than now paid" The amendment was
carried and the petition Endorsed by the
committee of the whole and by the union
A special committee of seven was ap-
pointed to report what streets it would be
desirable to improve next year, so that the
contracts could be let this year. The COM
mittee was made up Of MeSsrs. Lienau,
Mcdonnell, Campbell, Erdman, Stanley,
BRYANT and Minea.

Lehman, in which he claims 50, 100. The
plaintiff sets forth that the defendant en-

the value of the property has greatly ad-

contract, and besides the title to the prop
