Things People Should Know.
rom the New York Graphic.

From the New York Graphic.
Mr.. A. S. Murray, keeper of Greek
and Roman antiquities, British Mu-
scum, delivered an interesting lect-
ure at the Parkcs Museum on Thurs
day, March %, on the "Physical
Training of the Greeks and Romans"
He observed that it had been said in
ancient times that the two things
which the Greeks desired most were
to be healthy and to be beautiful.
Beauty, in their eyes, was attainable
largely by a careful system of physi-
cal training. We see, he observes,
their idea of physical beauty no.
where better than on the sculptured
trieze of the Parthenon at Athens
now in the British Museum, for the
greater part of it is simple gloriti-
cation of youth as developed by ply
steal training on horseback and in
chariot racing. There was no more
marked difference between the Greeks
and semi-barbarous races that sur
sounded them than in this matter Of
physical training. In one Of
his dialogues Lucian intro
duces the Scythian prince, Anarchar-
sis, who visited Athens in the sixth
century B. c., and in the course of his
visit went to the Palaistra. He was
much surprised at the various exer-
cises of the youth, thinking them
ridiculous. He asked Scion, the legis-
lator, how he could defend such folly.
Scion explained that the exercises of
the youth might seem absurd to an
onlooker, but that they were meant
to train up a race of men who, large
~ by this training, should become
valuable citizens, capable Of taking
their part in war through the skill of
body they thus acquired, and capable
of taking share in the administra-
ton of public affairs through the
clearness of head and ready judg-
ment which the habitual training of
the palaistra fostcred in them. The
lecturer then proceeded to describe
the ordinary exercises Of the boys
previous to their reaching the age of
joining the palaistra, giving in
stances of skill attained in the vari-
GUS contests of leaping, running,
wrestling, boxing, throwing the disc
and the spear. Lastly he noticed the
the physical training of the girls, to
whom running was the only form of
public contest allowed, and that
only in a very restricted degree.

Natures Cosmetic.

No surer preventive of wrinkles or
worn-looking skin can be obtained
than sleep at the proper times or at
odd moments, but of course this does
not apply to the sleep obtained by
artificial means. Healthful and nat
ural slumber is of all remedies for a
skin prematurely old the best, and
the society belle who has the good of
her complexion at heart will contrive
il regular rest daily-if possible at a
stated hour. One of the most ia
nous beauties of the day-the wife of
well-known artist and whose social
life is not altogether one of inclina-
ton, since there arc actual duties in
volved in it-told me that she made
it a rule to sleep daily after her after
noon exercise from 6 to Z, arising re-
freshed and ready for the duties of
the evening, while she was certain
that the delicate texture of her skin
had been preserved by this means.

A Texas Society Gentleman.

Chicago Times.
When Will j. Davis of the Hay
market Theatre was at the head of
the Chicago Church Choir Pinaforc
Company, he led his warblers into
the State of Texas. In those days
the advent of opera in that section
was an event which brought out the
elite as well as the hoodlum. One
night the company was appearing in
Galveston. The parquet was we'll
filled by the best people. A long
haired man presented himself at the
box Office with two boys and said he
wanted one seat. Mr.. Davis asked
him whathe was going to do with the
two boys. The Texan replied that he
"1owed to take 'em in"
"Then you want two more Seats"
said the manager.
81 reckon not, =" the Texan answered
II never git but one seat for the three
OF us at circus, and l low l ant
goln to git any more for SIGH show
The manager said he guessed he
would. The Texan pulled out two
revolvers and the boys drew knife
each, one of the boys remarking that
he went wherever his pap went. The
manager told them to go in. In
about fifteen minutes one of the So
ciety men came to the box-office and
said he had been insulted. That big
Texan accompanied by two boys had
come in and ordered him and his lady
to give up their seats. Mr.. Davis
called in an officer of the town and
asked his assistance in Kidding the
house of the obnoxious characters.
The society man said he would take
hand if there was no objection. In
about minute he had laid aside his
swallow tail coat and taken off
his dickey, which covered the front of
a red flannel shirt. Under the waist
band of his trousers were two huge
revOlvers.
II am society man," he said, cas-
long as there is anything in it; but,
by the holy Moses! lam a Texan when
it becomes necessary" In another
minute he was inside, and when
the long haired man saw him coming
he got out in a hurry, telling the boys
to follow. The opera proceeded and
during the remainder of the engage
ment there was no trouble.
