The Germans are, as a rule, too heavy for
light exercises. They do not keep themselves
in condition at all. 1t is a curious thing that
people so intelligent, and living in a climate
which Is admirable for athletic exercise should
give up all the finer and lighter forms Of out
door amusements. Running, cricketing. base
ball, lacrosse and similar games are at very
low ebb in Germany, though there is some
football. Even the sports at which the Ger
mans claim to excel are by no means their
own. They have been very proud of their

American boy is cigarettes. The German
Kaiser knew what he was talking about when
he spoke on the occasion of his birthday urging
the youth of Germany to keep more aloof from
