LIFE AND HEALTH.
In Many Instances They Have Been Main.
talned without EXERCISE.

In Many Instances They Have Been Main-
talned without Exerc,se.
Practically, do we really find so very
much evidence of the necessity or ad-
vantage of exercise? If long life and
freedom from illness are proof Of
health and who shall say they are not?
we need not go far to find abundant
examples of the attainment of these
things without the assistance of cxer-
else. There are the students, tho men
of indoor sedentary life. 1t is enough
to mention the late Prot. Ranke, the
late NJ. Chevreuil and Cardinal New
man. Can the ranks of exercise wor-
shippers furnish three names to equal
these for length of serviceable days?
Can any one truly say within the limits
of his own experience that those adj
dicted to exercise are most free from ILL.,
ness and live the longest? Is it not
rather the case that they are apt to dio
suddenly, before their time, us men who
,ave burnt the candle at both ends?
nd women--how comes that green and
delightful old age which we so often SEQ
in those who have never had days OK
ercise in their lives, according to mod
ern notions? If half that is said he
true, they are flying in the face OF
science in daring to live at all. How
many do we see guiltless of exercise
and sound in health from tho highest
lady in the land downward There is
something revolving in the demand that
grown women, married and matrons,
shall caper and frisk like young girls.
1t is not natures way. As in youth she
makes us active, SO after certain ago
she gives us all a disinclination to rapid
movement and severe exertion, which
it is not wise to ignore on the strength
Of an imperfect physiology and moro
imperfect pathology; for it is profound-
~ true that 18th. body-or, as some lovo
to call it our inferior nature-is wiser
in its own plain way, and attends to its
own business more directly than the
mind, with all its boasted subtlety.n-

ARCHAEOLOGICAL RELICS.

A Valuable Collection of Objects Secured
In Phlladelphta.
One of the latest additions to the
University Of Pennsylvania is tho es-
tablishment of an archaeological mu-
scum. Early in December, 1889, few
friends of the university purchased at
auction small collections of stone i'm.
plements. From this small beginning,
and in so short time has grown one of
the most unique collections of it's kind
in the country. Here is deposited 10,-
900 Of the most interesting objects from
every corner of the United States, Mex
leo, Central America, Peru and other
parts of South America.
The purpose of the work is to repre-.
sent the early civilization Of North,
South and Central America, and to show,
as far as possible, the implements used
by the Indians in their warfare, agri-
culture and domestic life before the ad.
vent of Columbus. Hereafter it is in
tended to build up the collection mainly
by explorations, and to this end all parts
of the country will be thoroughly
searched, for the explorers have long
ago discovered that their funds will be
better spent on this side of the Atlantic
than on the other.
OF the 10, 900 pieces in the collection.
perhaps nine-tenths are of stone, made
largely with stone tools. Then there is
pottery, bone, she'll and copper, the lat
ter from Wisconsin. Specimens from
New Jersey and Ohio are many, while
the stone implements from Arkansas,
Indiana, Illinois, Mississippi and Ken
lucky represent the highest grade of
this kind of workmanship, and showing
large variety in specimens of tobacco
pipe sculpture and clay pottery. The
sculpture and metal implements from
Peru are of much higher grade, as the
early Peruvians made large stone idols
and caryed pictures in stone work a good
deal beyond the North American Indian.
In addition to the American speci-
mems, the museum contains fine col
lection of flints, bronze implements and
pottery from Europe, as we'll as objects
from Asia, Africa and the South Sea
islands.
Among the curiosities tho following
are some of the most interesting: A
stone pipe from Lancaster which has .
mans head carved upon It; stone idol
about two feet high, from Cholula, Mex,
and one composed entirely OF chalk and
brought from Duke of York Island; two
mortars, one of hickory and the other
made of gum wood, the only onos of tho
kind known to exist; American iron and
bronze ornaments, including earrings,
bracelets, necklaces and other articles
of ornament taken from prehistoric
graves, and supposed to be about $500
years old; a very handsome specimen Of
an implement called by the Indians
patoopatoo; war clubs used by the South
Sea Islanders; Peruvian carved heads;
sculpture from Nicaragua; Peruvian
jars, made so as to whistle when water
is put in them: Armenian vessels resem-
bling very closely the modern colander,
and, finally, a real Egyptian mummy
with several human heads.-Boston

COURT ETIQUETTE.

FOrmalltleS Observed BY the, COurtlerS OF
Louis tho Fourteenth.
The revival of somewhat minute
system Of etiquette in the German
court, and particularly the adoption of
rules for the settlement of the nu-
merous questions of precedence which
have come up in connection with the
extended journeys of Emperor William
journals to remind their readers that
any modern monarch must be at grea.
disadvantage in setting up system Of
court etiquette, as compared with the
Kings of two or three centuries ago.
Precedenc, ruled in all things at the
court of Louis XIV, at Versailles. Even
the Kings morning toilet was made in
the presence of the courtiers, who were
continually arriving. AS the King put
on his outer garments, these were hand
cd to him by the noblemen of highest
rank in attendance.
The story is told that, as the King
was pulling on his waistcoat one morn
ing, it was handed to him by Count;
but befe~e the Count had passed the
garment to the King, Duke came in.
This made it necessary for the Count
to hand the waistcoat at once to the
Duke, as it would have been against
etiquette for person of lower rank to
pass the garment. And as it must be
handed with bare hands, the King had
to wait while the Duke removed his
gloves.
When the operation was performed,
and the Duke was about to advance
with the waistcoat, the door again
opened and a royal Prince of younger
branch of the family entered. The
Duke, of course, at once presented the
waistcoat to the newcomer, as he was
of higher rank.
But the Prince was also gloved; and
when he had performed the somewhat
tedious operation of ungloving, there
arrived on the scene another Prince,
who happened to be of the elder branch.
So the unfortunate King had to wait
once more; and as the room was cold,
it is recorded that he took violent
Chill.
At King Louis dinner, when the cook
brought in the meat for the royal plate.
he was attended by armed soldiers and
preceded by herald, shouting, Cen
tlemen, the Kings viands!" Where
upon the company all uncovered, and
the sentinels saluted the roast chicken
or the royal mutton outlets.
When the King was about to drink, .
chamberlain announced the fact at the
top of his voice. and two functionaries,
whose duty twas to taste the wine or
water in order to prove that it had not
been poisoned, stepped forward, poured
out little, and drank it of. Then the
King drank. NJ" ~
The great mass of royal formalities
and points of etiquette disappeared
with the last century, but the rules Of
precedence are still very strictly OBJ
served in royal courts.-Youth's Com

SHARING THE BURDEN

Yet he lived his invocations e. ~.

Gropes the blind his devious way,
Guide, nor staff nor helper hos he,
To supply the lights lost ray.
E'en O poor dogs willing service,
Love and guidance are denied:
Till one day his cropping finds him

There he hears the sufferers moaning
And his very soul is moved
He's the truest sympathizer
Who like sorrow erst has proved.

And their rigors will be softened."

As to which bears heaviest load,

Aldermen, policemen, reporters and

and more no bade farewell TO Thomas
Hender, u young brother who was on

him elsewhere. Ono or two letters

tied down to the belief that Thomas
was never TO DO seen again on earth
when. u short time ago, he received
letter from San Francisco written In
strangely familiar hand and signed
with tho name Of tho one he had been
mourning rs dead. The letter was
answered ut once, and plans were
formed by the Iowa man for meet
ing In the near future. A copy OF n
San Francisco paper has just been re-
ceived by him, however, which throws
dark shadow over all the joyous
anlicipations which he has INDUCED.
Almost Immediately after writing to
his brother Thomas Hender fell in the
street OF San Francisco. His head
struck the curbstone with such force
that he was rendered unconscious. He
was taken to hospital, where next
day no died. The reply that was
written TO his letter never reached

ly Suspended.

From advices received 1t appears
that there is great concern regarding
the recent decision of Judge Smith,
sitting at Ottawa, ILL.,, to the effect
that bishops Bowman and Esher were
legally tried and suspended in accord
ance with the rules OF the Evangelical
church, and that they have no right
to preside over any conferences. Both
bishops have persisted in ignoring the
decisions OF the trial conferences, and
should Judge Smiths ruling be up
held by the upper courts, IL will follow
that all the candidates they have ad-
mitted to holy orders, and all indi-
viduals received into fellowship, will
be compelled to resubmit themselves,
as under existing circumstances they
will have no ''locus standt.n

on account Of overstocked ranges, but

the consequence is that the ranges are
