GIRLS As GYMN4STS.
They Are Reckless and ovcr-DarinS In
Their Enthu>iaSm.


Girls should never be allowed in :
gymnasium unless they are in charge of a
thorough master of calisthenics aud gym
nastics, SAID professor to a reporter for
the Mat and Express. 1t may seem
strange to say, but the girls are more
daring and much more reckless than
boys when they get the athletic fever. 1t
seems TO be very catching nowadays.
Only short time ago a young lady
came into this gymnasium. she had
never been In ~ nnasium before. As
soon a, she got her suit on she was try
ing 10 pull herself up horil ontal bar
and before l could stop her she had
strained the tendons in both arms and
couldn't come back 10 exercise again for
nearly three months
Girls have 10 take a much more sys-
tematic training than boys They are not
so strong md have to be treated more
tendelly. There are hundreds of WAYS in
which girl can hurt herself in a GYM
nasium unless she is very careful She
can strain her arms and hands by too
much exercise at anything. She can
sprain her back by jumping too far on a
springboard.
Il have known girls 20 sprain their toes
in the running high jump even when the
bar was only a foot from the ground.
High heeled shoes press the toes down
ward, and girls who wear them always
land on their toes when they jump in
stead of on the ball of the foot.
What exercise should a girl practice
at home?" asked the reporter.
Gymnastics to be healthful, should
only take a portion of the strength of
ones muscle, and the constant exercise
of these muscles is what develops them.
l have seen some delicate girls exercising
! with fiye-pound dumb-bells when some
! of the strongest athletics of the country
only use two-pounders. A girl who
! wishes to expand her chest can do so if,
| each morning after her bath she will
stand erect, feet together, shoulders back,
arms straight down, and take twenty five
| full, deep reaths. Better begin fifteen
times the first week and then gradually
increase it. Keep up the increase till ii
reaches the number of fifty. BY that time
| her lungs will / e much stronger and the
chest will begin to expand. A round
shouldered girl can become straight by
moving the arms backN ard in regular
motions until the elbows are only a few
inches arart. Let the first exercise be
| twenty times and Increase it until l25
times can be done without fatigue. The
throat can be made round and firm by
iudiciouS exercise of the head | make
my pupils throw the head far back and
then forward slowly, and then from side
10 side in the same way.
There 8 no reason why any girl OIL
woman not deformed, and about 25 or g
years of age, should not have graceful
and well-deNe led figure, and gymnas
tics will give 1t to her but not unless she
is taught them properly"

Ages before America was discovered
war and hunting anil trading parties of
the North American Indians had beaten
paths through the forests over the mount
ain ranges, and across the arid plains
which lie between the Missouri River
and the Pacific Gee n, and from the Gulf
of Mexico to the frozen north. The
trails of one region blended impercepti-
bly, into those of another The light OF
thousands of camp fires ever shone along
these highways. Here, in the dense for

intervals along the shores of the great

burned, and south, in the land of the
CherOkees, signal fires co tinually sprang
into life along the summit of the Blue

Along the Hudson, the Mohawk, the

The Mighty United States.

If the United States were a small
power her original idea of diplomacy,
as the German Chancellor's penmen
call it, might be considered a caprice
and passed over with a smile, but her
people are becoming the greatest nation
in the world. 1t is probable that moth
ing short of actual violence would now
induce any nation to attack her, while
she could, if she pleased, almost ruin
the commerce of any nation of the
globe. 1t is true, she has scarcely any
regular army, her $4,000 men being
oyerworked at home but if neighbor-
ing planet kept no army it would not
be subject to attack.
Her coast, if threatened, would bris-
tie with torpedoes and new means of
destruction, and her protectionists
would be only too pleased if impor-
tation stopped. Her navy, though still
small, is rapidly increasing, sorapidly
as to be a subject of special reports to
the maritime powers; if a war were in
immediate prospect, her limitless com
mand, alike of money and men, would
soon draw fleet together. Besides,
apart altogether from her existing re-
sources, the growth in the strength of
the Union affects the imagination Of
the European states.
There are children alive who will
see, or at all events may see, the North
American Republic" with a population
of 200 600, 600 and the means Of rails

idea of mourning the enmity of such a

stances, would he impossible, or pos
