succeeded in conquering and securely ty-

Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama, in
several cases holding up train and rob
bing the express car unaided. In Lamar

ProfsIse Precipitation.

A very popular fallacy IS that profuse
perspiration is weakening. The best reply
perhaps to this supposition is a reference
to the men engaged at gas works, to the
,puddlers in the manufacture of iron, to
the shgar boilers, and to all those whose
daily labor is of the severest bodily descrip-
ton. Many of these work stripped to the
waist. The perspiration pours off in such
quantity as often to make pool at their
feet. yet these men are the perfection of
health and strength. They have no en-
numbering fat, are free from colds and
nearly every disease. Again, it is well
known how gymnasts, pedestrians and
oarsmen induce profuse perspiration while
training, and yet they do not lose their
strength or limit their powers of endur-
