Health OF American Women.

A French physician travelling in this
country last year, expressed his sur
prise at finding that the healthiest
children whom he had ever seen be-
longed to the families OF educated,
wealthy Americans. He expected to
see them thin and nervous the victims
Of indigestion, but he found them
plump, rosy, and strong.
The reason Is that their parents
know now. as past generations OF
Americans did not know, the neces-
sity OF change OF air, Of exercise, OF
simple diet and scientific training
for the bodies OF their children. and
they are able to command these things
for them.
In paper read last August before
the Town and Country Club at New
port, it was stated that singular
advance had been made in late years
in the physical condition OF young
American women.
The writer stated that twenty years
ago sharp criticisms were made con-
trasting the thin, delicate. sallow
American girl with her robust English
cousin. No such comparison would
be just now.
The reason OF this marked change
is that the little maiden in New Eng
land or the Middle and Western
States. as a rule. swims, skates, rows,
plays croquet ball, or tennis with a
vigor which would have been thought
unwomanly by her grandmother.
An English journalist who visited
this country twenty years since re-
turned q few months ago, and on his
return home commented upon the i'm
provement 10 the appearance of Amer
lean women as one OF the most re-
markable changes which he had
noted.
The American woman, IL not the
man, is learning to live out of doors,
to eat slower, systematic her work
better and to give up her old habits
of hurry and worry"
1t is always helpful to obtain a
glimpse of ourselves as others see us,
and it is especially useful when the
results seen are SO cheering and so
easily obtained.

1--WE find strange mementoes on

taker OF Detroit. The other day
we were preparing the body of an un.

violent death, but there was
the most serene expression on his
face that / ever saw on any one.
When we dressed him for the grave
we found the Lords PRAYER beauti-
fully written in India ink on his fore
arm. 1t was as fine piece of tattoo

thinking that perhaps that was what
he depended on for comfort and that

Very few people know how wild

reasons why this is so. One is that il
is not healthy to spy upon wild ami

savage varieties, and those wretched
creatures that pass lifetime OF cap

seen ordinarily only at such hours as
they are awake and watching for the

A Heroic Clergyman.

Brooklyn has a clergyman seventy
years OF age who has proved himself a
fearless life saver. On Tuesday of
last week he rescued from quicksand,
in five feet Of water at Bayside Park,
s. l., during a Sunday school excur-
sion OF the Trinity and Leonard Street
Methodist Episcopal churches, Henry
b. Cocheu, secretary OF the Trinity
Church society, and son OF Theo-
dore Cocheu OF Brooklyn. The cler-
gyman is Rev. John d. Wells d. d.,
president OF the Board OF Foreign
Missions OF the Presbyterian church
OF the United States, OF No. 1856
South Third street. Brooklyn.
Cocheu had swan far outside the
life lines and was nearly exhausted in
getting back. So no started TO walk
in while still in five feet OF water. and
was caught in quicksand. Mr..
Wells alone saw how serious the
swimmers situation was. He threw
off his coat, grasped n long pole
which lay on the beach, and dashed
through the waves out toward the
drowning man. He reached him just
as his head was level with the sea.
Docheu fortunately had sufficient
strength to cling to the pole until the
clergyman pulled him out of the
understandable bottom into which he
was sinking.
