CALIsTnENICs.-Thc modern conception
of y thorough school training is decidedly at
variance with ancient methods, not tue least
prominent feature Of which is the idea Of
systematic physical training. That children,
more particularly girls still more particular,
ly the specially studious ones, should sit in
the usual crampcd position at the school
desk, day after day for eight to ten months
of the year, with only the ill-rcgulated eXcr-
else of the school yard is now recognized as
beng a method for the benefit of the mind at
the expense Of the body, serious and I'M
Unsuitable error. We would favor the intro.
duction Of more or less thorough course of
calsthcnics into our public schools, requir-
ing that every teacher become proficient in
Il cltain number Of movements and that in
the middle of every daily session, the school
be called from their strained position at the
desk to occupy few minutes In this exer
else. 1t would bring needed relief and we
are sure would leave the pupil int condition
to more than make up IN his studies the
time thus occupied May we not ask the
teachers of our home schools to give ear to
our suggestion?

OnstratiOns.
After Tuesday, scarcely an event of Expo
sition Week could be brought on with any
hope of success until Friday evening, when
the mock bombardmcnt of FIT. McIIcnry
found the weather propltious at last and the
myrads ofpeople that enjoyed that brilliant
feature of the program may be accepted as
evidence of what would have been the out
pouring during the entire week.
The bombardment afforded just grounds
upon which to judge the managers of the
Exposition in no one detail: Iii not one
essential feature, did it fail to exec! all
every prcconccivcd ideal and was in every
part and to the last degree the charming sue
cess that Hon. Frank Brown and his associ-
ates so heroically earned and so surely mcrl-
ted.
We can readily believe that the sham bat
tie at Pimlico would have been worthy
companion piece with the bombardment, had
not the condition of the grounds rendered it
not only unreasonable to expect the troops
to so expose themselves, but impossible that
they should carry out the complex plan OF
battle laid down. AS it was, it was decided
ly entertaining and highly realistic person
ally, we regret the loss of that more than all
the remaining part of the programme that
was wrecked by the great coast storm of last
week.
| While we offer our coincidence, we are able
to temper our offering by assuring the En-
position managers that we are proud OF thclr
magnificent attempt and that we rcycl in the
memory of the enchanting night ON the bay,
under an umbrella and the "rockcts' red
glare"

SEPTEMBER 23-ONE WEEK OF SIR
CIAS. YOUNG'S GREAT PLAY
"JIM THE PENMAN"

THIS play was the great success of the New
York season Of 1857. Previous to its pro-
ductiol at the Madison Square Theatre, by
Manager A. NJ. Palmer, it had been played
in London, at the Ilaymarkct Theatre, where
it scored a success, and made the name OF
Sir Charles Young known throughout the
dramatic world, The production in London
took place in October, 1885, but the play had
been already purchased for America by
Manager Palmer.
The first production Of this play in Amer
lea took place at McNicker's Theatre, Chica
60, H., on the 10Th of September, 1886. The
success of the play was instantaneous Both
the press and the public of Chicago received
the first performance with most enthusiastic
praise and unslntcd applause. The Chicago
Tribune, Inter. Ocean, Near., and Times seem
cd never to weary in their Communications of
the absorbing interest in the story of this
play, and the magnificent and spacious
auditorium of McVickcrs Theatre proved
too small to accommodate the continuously in
crcasing audiences which throngcd to sec
the work, from the city and surrounding
towns.
The plot is an interesting one OF n forgcr,
who lives among the first society, rich re.
spcctcl, and happy In domestic bliss. His
profession is unsupported by all and it is only
hyaccidcn, that he is found out (by his wife
The play is grandly gwen with an extra
ordinary cast and dclicacy and realism of
action which insurcs success.

SINGULAR CAUSE OF DEATH.-A few days
ago some men were engaged in blasting some
rocks in n we'll they were digging for Mr..
John Burial. near New London, and the
wrappers encasing the dynamite cartridges
were thrown out IN the field, not for mo-
ment suspectlng that there was anything
dangerous about them, but it seems they were
mistaken, for three cows that were pasturing
in the field picked up the wrappers and ate
them with fatal result. This knowledge Of
the danger of dynamite wrappers,--a costly
one to Mr. Burial will be a warning here
after.-Banner.

planned with an eye to beauty, as well
as CONFERENCE.-The finish will be in
