friend in California.
II exp ct to go to California in
a few weeks, and stop for a con-
siderable time, and looks now as
though L shoUII dispose of most
OF my railroads this side of the
Mississippi, and that very soon.
AS soon as that is done 1 shall ex-

able in the near future to weed
out all OF those who are on the

best interest of the State.

"Well finally the card man in

and they went at it. The gambler
was too much for the other and

a single blow of the knife. But

GIRLS AS GYMNASTS.
They Are Reckless and Over-Daring In
Their Enthusiasm.

Girls should never be allowed in
gymnasium unless they are in charge OF
a thorough master of calistheniscs and
gymnastics said professor to re-
porter. 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 the gymnasium. She had
never been in gymnasium before. As
soon as she got her suit on she was try
ing to pull herself up horizontal bar
and before could stop her she had
strained the tendons in both arms and
couldn't come back to exercise again
for nearly three months.
Girls have TO take much more sys-
tematic training than boys. They are
not so strong and have TO be treated
more tenderly. There are hundreds of
ways in which girl can hurt herself in
a gymnasium unless she is very careful.
She can strain her arms and hands by
too much exercise at any thing. She
can sprain her back by jumping to far
on spring board.
Il have known girls to sprain their
toes in the running high jump even
when the bar was only foot from the
ground. High-heeled shoes press the
toes downward and girls who wear them
always land on their toes when they
jump instead of on the ball of the foot"
What exercise should girl practice
at home?H 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.
have seen some delicate girls exercis-
ing with ive-pound dumb-bells, when
some of the strongest athletes of the
country only use two-pounders. A girl
who wishes to expand her chest can dc
so IT, each morning after her bath, she
will stand erect feet together, shoulders
back, arms straight down. and take
twenty-five full, deep breaths. Better
begin fifteen times the first week and
then gradually increase it Keep up the
increase until in reaches the number o.
fifty. BY that time her lungs will b
much stronger and the chest will begiI
to expand. A round-shouldered girl car
become straight by moving the arm
backward in regular motions until thu
elbows are only few inches apart lie
the first exercise be twenty times ans
increase it until 1a5 times can lie don,
without fatigue. The throat can b
made round and firm by iudicious ex
ercise of the head. l make my throa
pupils throw the head far back and thel
forward slowly, and then from side L
side in the same way.
There is no reason why any girl o
woman not deformed, and about twenty
five or thirty years Of age, should no
4 have graceful and well-develope'
1 figure, and gymnastics will give 1t b
her, but not unless she is taught then
properly" Y. Mail and Express.

pack great many boxes of a little hsh
which is species of shrimp, and pour
rotton-seed oil over it. and people buy
and eat them under the delusion that
they are eating sardines dressed in
