The lighter course Of physical study
will develop every muscle in the body

roundness. curves and reserved vital
force, and not that of knotty muscles
and predominating specialties. Each

although the course as given by com
petent teachers in detail is impossible
to explain in a brief letter. it is safe to
say that very fair system of develop

Probably no exercise is of more inn
portance to The blood. heart aud lungs
than that calculated to insure proper
breathing. Most persons breathe very
badly indeed, taking short, ''choppy''
inspirations which fill the middle cells
of the lungs, leaving the upper and low
err parts to gather cobwebs and dis
ease. In taxing the breathing exercise
there is always exaggeration and forced
inhalation and cxhalaticn; this is essen
tial because the lungs need this extra
work daily, even when a correct habit
of breathing has once been established.

Flections AZ Educators.

For such presidential election as
that of 1888. with its fair and open
struggle between two natural opposed
political principles, and its consequent
influence as a political educator for
the American democracy. there need
be nothing but congratulations for the
country. let its cost be what they may.
There have been elections over which
no such congratulations could be ut
tered-eleclions 10 which the cost was
as great and the educational results
nothing or next to nothing; but no
such criticism can be aimed at the cleo
ton Of this year. There are very few
voters in this country who have not in
November far larger and more dis
tinct knowledge of the economic prin-
ciples which underlie their political be-
liefs than they had six months ago;
and, whatever may be the party result
of the election. this educational result
is after all. the fundamental reason fol
the existence of the presidential cleo
ton itself And as we see this result
continually coming into greater prom
inence we may congratulate our
selves more heartily on the wisdom
which gave us such an educational
force. and on its new proof that DEM
ocracy is not the rule of ignorance. but
system of collaboration. Centnry.
