PHYSICAL TRAINING.
Useful Hints on the Development of Grow
ing Children.


ing Children.
The pulley and weights is almost a.
familiar play-thing in English homes
as the American swing, and far more
useful for development of the muscles.
1t moreover possesses the advantage
of being capable of use within doors
when cold and storms prevent children
taking exercise out of doors. The fine
physique of British children calls for
frequent comment, and this is due to
the constant care of their mothers, not
only in the use of the pulley, but by
systematic rubbing and massage treat
ment of the growing children at night
before they are put to bed. Our Amer
lean girls need physical home training
even more than their brothers. The
unequal shoulders and other defects too
common in figures of women in this
country show the need of such train
ing, indicating, as they do, weakness
and want of development in muscles
which should be in active use, and
which can only be developed as the
tidlucT ucECiOpo tuO mcSCicS VI tu0
professional Oarsman. There is no
danger that our girls will become
hoydens which would compare with
that danger to their health which
arises from an insufficient development
of the various muscles of the body in
childhood, producing a puny woman
hood and weak physique and nerves.
1t is good thing to note the interest
taken in this country in active field
games like lawn tennis and the revival
of many of the old-time games. such
As battledore and shuttlecock, grace
hoops and other games which train the
eye to be accurate and the arm steady.
Mothers can not be too careful in
watching their girls Boys gain by
their more active outdoor life a de-
velopment of all their muscles, but
girls are not nearly so sure to get the
benefit of such outdoor life.
Their shoulders more frequently be-
come unequal from careless positions
at the school desk or at play, and in
many cases in this insidious way the

Joseph w. Grifith, who died recently
at Huntington, Ind, was one of the
most eccentric Characters in Northern
Indiane. He lived almost entirely alone,
and had great aversion to women.
After his death the undertaken who
took charge Of the remains found
In Grifith's trousers pockets the
sum of $4,000 in currency. In various
places about the store were found
hatfuls Of silver and gold, all covered
with dust having apparently been un-
disturbed for years; promisory notes ex-
ecuted by leading business men, run
ming far up into the thousands, were
found among the effects OF this singular
man, Griffith having refused no one whom
he deemed worthy and responsible. His
entire property amounts to over $50, 900,
and it's not thought he left will.
For q week before his death he was al

Tho Palm Tree

Among the Indians Of Brazil there Il q
tradition that the whole human race
sprang from . palm tree, says vick's
Magazine. It has been a symbol Of ex-
ccllence for things good and beautiful.
Among tho ancfents IL wss an emblem
of victory, and, 90 such, was worn by the
early Christian martyrs. and has been
found sculpturcd on their tombs. The
Mohsmedans veneratc it. Certain trees,
said to have been propagated from some
originally planted By the prophets
daughter, are hold sacred and the fruit
sold at enormous prices. The day upon
which Christ cntered Jerusalem, riding
upon the colt Of an ass, 10 called Palm
Sunday, bsing the first day of tho Holy
Week. In Europe real palm branches
sre distributed among the people.
Goethe says:
In Rome, on Palm Sunday,
They have the true palm,
The cardinals bow reverently
And sing old psalms.
Elsewhere these songs are sung mid olive
branches;
More southern cliilss must be content with
the sad willow.
The books relating to. the religion of
Buddha were nearly all of them writton
upon the leaves of the fan palm, and by
missionaries they have been used in the
place of paper. The noble aspect Of
this tree, together with its surprising
utility, has caused It to be called 'tthe
prince of the vegetable kingdom" and
it has been immortalized in history,
mythology and poetry.

Incidents Of a Great Drought,

An everyday incident of the drought
which has prevailed in the Kiverina dis.
trict of New South Wales is described
by an eye- witness, who says: "When q
mob Of sheep gets near a tank rush
for water takes place, all crowding to
The strong trample on the weak, who
go down. and either get drowned OF
smothered in the mud. Very often, too,
comparatively strong sheep get begged
and die. To prevent the water becom-
ing putrid, every passer-by, no matter
who he is, stops and pulls out any
sheep he may see stuck, whether dead
or alive, and to do this Is looked upon
almost as a religious duty, the omission
of which is greater sin than the breach
of one Of the ten commandments"

A BIG WHALING STORY.
A Schooner Shaken by Collision
With q Monster Whale.

Captain Samuel Pedrick, OF tho schooner
James III. Gordon which has arrived ut Bal.
timore from Charleston. $. c., reports that
when about seventy-five miles L. S. t. Of
Cape Henry, a school OF whales was met.
They came so close to the vessel that pieces
Of wood were dropped on their backs. at
which they squirted fountains of water in
the mir. At one time tho sea appeared like
mass Of confused fire from tho gambolpg of
the creatures. Lines Of phosphorescent isght,
sometimes as far as the eye could reach,
were visible from tho ships deck, us the
whales raced after one another through the
water. All that night the mighty fish
played around the vessel without accident
At $3.50 o'clock on the morning of the 18th
the Gordon suddenly "brought up,n being
shaken from stem to stern Looking over
the bow, it was seen that the vessel had
struck monster whale. Thu water was dis.
colored and bloody, showing that the Cor
don had struck the fish terrible blow The
whales disappeared from about the vessel
shortly after the collision. Captain Pedrick
is confident there were 100 whales in the
school, all of which, the first mate, an old
whaler, says were sperm whales. It is sup
posed they were attacted In shore by follow
ing the schools Of mackerel now Off the
coast.

Weight OF a Snowflake.

The lightness of snowfales Is the re-
suit of their surface being 80 great when
compared with their volume, and Is &C.
counted for In some degree by the large
quantity of air amid their frozen parsi-
oles. Snowflakes contain about nine
times az many volumes Of air, entan-
gled, SO to speak, among their crystals,
as they contain water. Very fine and
lightly deposited snow occupies about
twenty-four times as much space as wa
ter, and is from ten to twelve times
lighter than an equal bulk of that fluid.
