FEW EINTRACHT BOYS.

There were nine entries from the Eintracht
Turn Verein, and out of this number only two
representatives put in an appearance, namely
F. Becker and r. Backhausen. The Olympic
Club had its full crew on deck OF C. j. and j. T.
Schuster, L. Heinz, A. Hoffman, II. Huber, G.
Hartmann and w F. Blasauf.
The reason that the Eintracht Club had such a
poor representation was that the teacher OBJ
tected TO any of his pupils taking part who were
not thoroughly fitted to contest in al-round ath-
letlcs. Among the Eintracht athletes there are
very few men who eau compete with other clubs
IN outdoor games. and, as a consequence, the In
struc or had no particular desire to see his pu-
pills defeated by the clever allround athletes OF
the Olympic Club.

Cause of
Rheumatism

An acid which exists in milk and cider called
Tactic aeid is believed by physicians to be the
of rheumatism. Accommodating in the blood, it at
tacks the fbrous tissues in the Joints and causes
agonizing pains What is needed is a remedy to
neutraze the acid and TO so invigorate the kidneys
and liver that all waste will be carried off, We can
honestly recommend Hoods Sarsaparilla for these
purposes. 1t has cured others of rheumatism and

Good Sleepers.

The author of Bulgaria Before the

any spare half hour that may happen to
be at their disposal. At night, he says,
all his companions would be in the land
Of dreams within 10 minutes. while he
lay wide awake and envious.

ment to see the little respect any one in
Turkey pays to sleep. When have been

panions arouse them all to ask where his

three times in the night, and yet there
would never be an angry word of remon.

why Certain Women Are Always Fresh
and Beautiful.

People are apt to attribute haggard
looks to mental activity. writes Fannie
Edgar Thomas, and to counsel repose and
tranquility rs a cosmetic
To the thoughtful traveller the falsity
of this theory is obvious. 1t is in the
country village. where the church meet
ing is the theater, the mail the excite
ment, the days weeks. and one can he;
the cows breathe i'll the deathly stiffness,
that the greatest number of sunken
cheeks, wrlnkled brows, leaden complex
ions. and lifeless expressions are to be
seen among the women yet in their thir
ties. In the seething metropolis, living
three lives and enjoying two, are to be
found scores of women-mothers or per-
haps grandmothers-possessing all the
vitality. freshness, and much of the
bloom of early youth.
The fact is, it is not activity, but drow
siness, the presence of sleeping or dead
thought in the soul, that is aging. I'M
varied scenes, the repetition tomorrow OF
to-day, to-day of yesterday, this week of
the preceding one, the ability to calculate
exactly what each neighbor is doing at
each hour of each day-the inevitable
clocklike routine of conception, the mo-
notony of existence, the utter WEAKNESS
of an empty think tank, that saps the
vernal springs of life and creates decay
in the face.
Past grief, old angers, revenges, even
past pleasures constantly dwelt upon-all
dead, decaying or decayed thought, make
a sepulcher of the soul, cemetery of
the body, and a weather beaten monu-
ment of the face. This is age.
The women who never grow old are
the student women-those who daily
drink in new chyle through memorizing,
thoroughly analyzing, and perfectly as
similating subjects apart from them
selves. Study is development-is eternal
youth. The student woman who makes
wise use of her acquisitions has no time
to corrugate her brow with dread thought
of the beauty destroyer leaping fast be-
hind her. Not considered or invited,
Old Age keeps his distance.
Brain culture based on noble motive
means sympathy, heart gentleness, char
ity, graciousness, enlargement of sense,
feeling, power.
Such being can not become a fossil.
She has found the elixir of life. the foun-
tain of eternal youth.
