temptation Of the fact that Just about
as many people were turned away as
were able 70 find places in tho vast au-
ditOrium.
This enormous and unexpected con-
vocation resulted IN some amusing COM

occasion from Mr.. Robert Bonner, of
New York. who Is president Of the so

utes before the hour at which the meet

the fire marshal ut the door, and he re-
fused to let US in, because the law COM
PEELED him to provide against the dam
ger of panic in case Of fire, and the

"a no thought might safely enter IL.
Well, AZ for me-, said to the marshal,
you may do as you like, but DIR. Bryson
is simply obliged to get In, for he is to
deliver the second address,
'Tcn minutes behind US was DR.. Hall,
who was to take charge of the meet
ing. He had been dining ut the house
Of lady well-lfnown In Pittsburgh for
her many charities. This lady and her
daughter were with DR.. Han. but they
had to 60 homo again; the marshal
could not let them in, and DR.. Hall him
sell had to present the necessities Of tho
case very strongly in order 70 gain ad-
mittance. I don't believe that there
ever'wcrc so many people IN Pittsburgh
before bcsieging the doors Of the house
Of worship"
No doubt there will Be similar scenes
at Louisville. The success Of the meet
ing may be taken as typical Of the So
ciety's career. Tho idea Of its forIna-
ton originated in the brain Of Col
Thomss T. Wright, then merchant Of
Pensacola, Fla. but now . resident Of
Nashville. Tenn. This was a little
more than three years ago. He wrote

WALKING AND HEALTH.
The Best Means OF Sustaining tho Physio-
nj Organization.

The Best Means OF Sustaining tho Physic-
al Organization.
Few things, if any, are so effcctual in
building up and sustaining the physical
organization rs walking, if it is per-
feet exercise. 1t takes the entire sys-
tenn. When you walk properly, every
member and muscle, every nerve and
fibre has something to do The arms
swing backward and forward, keeping
step, rs it were, with the legs; the chest
expands and contracts rs the lungs fill
and discharge; the drummer boy pulse
beats tune for the march; the logs
curve and straightcn; the feet rise and
fall, while the head rides over all-but
not as dcadhcad.
Every sonsc it has is employed, every
faculty alert. The nostrils expand to
puff the breeze; the cars turn to every
sound; the eyes roll in their sockets,
sweeping from left to right. from earth
to sky; the brain is ut work through all
its parts. Progress under such condi-
tions is the very eloqucnco of physical
motion. What is the effect? Tho flesh
is soliied; the lungs grow strong and
sound; the chest cnlarges; the limbs
are rounded ont; the tendons swell and
tougher; the figure rises in height and
dignity, and is clothed with grace and
suppleness.
Hunters, who walk much, are tall and
straight, while sailors, who scarcely
walk at all, are low and squat The
whole man is developed. not tho body
merely. The mind is broadcncd by the
contemplation of creations works, the
soul is enlarged, tho imagination
frightened, the spirits chccrcd, the
temper sweetencd. The moral forces
are stronghold equally with the physic-
