HEALTHY GIRLS.
Fashion Still Rules, But 1t Has SURRENDERED
One Point.


Fashion stilI Rules, But 1t Has Surrendered
One Point.
In the preparatory school of large
woman's college, which is attended by
many girls from all parts of the
United States, the instructor in gym
nastics recently said to the pupils, as
they were assem- bled in the gymnasi-
um:
II wish that the girls here who are
taller thsn their mothers would please
raise their hands"
About three-fourths of all the girls
present raised their hands. The
average age of the pupils was about
seventeen years, though some were not
more than fifteen and in some cases
these girls had not completed their
growth; and yet considerable ma
jority of all were larger than their
mothers
The majority, too, were vigorous and
healthy, and capable of long walks in
the open air, and of sustained and act
i've exercise in the gymnasium.
Within the memory of the older
generation, it was fashionable" for
young women tn be delicate, slender
waisted, pale and incapable of much
physical exertion. Bodily robustness
was discouraged, and such "calistnen-
ics'' as were in vogue were of very
weak and flimsy sort
All this reacted upon the general
physical condition of women, and rem
dered them less vigorous and well
grown.
At the present time there are many
foolish fashions. no doubt, bat it is no
longer questionable for woman to
be strong and we'll Suitable kinds of
athletic exercises are, on the contrary,
much In vogue. and girl VIII can
walk ten miles without serious fatigue
is admired by her companions rather
than looked at askance.
This is certainly one of the respects
in which the world has impr we'd. Good
exercise an plenty of life out-of-doors
will not only make the women of the
rising generation superior to their
mother, in stature, but will make them
better able to support the burdens of
life, and happier in supporting them
Nor need it render them less gentle
or womanly; for a healthy women has
better basis for gentleness and un-
seifishness than a weak and suffering

see in some elderly. overfed human
faces. Like human Maharajas, they
have their tragedies and mayhap their
romances One morning there came ,
monkey chieftain, weak and limping,
having evidently been worsted in q
severe fight with another Of his own
kind One hand hung powerless, his
face and eyes bore terrible traces Of
battle, and he hirpled slowly along
with pathetic air Of suffering, sup
porting himself on the shoulder Of
a feinalea wife. the only member OF
his clan who had remained faithful
to him after his defeat We threw
them bread and raisins. and the
wounded warrior carefully slowed tho
greater part away in his cheek pouch.
The faithful wife, seeing her oppor-
tunity, sprang on him. holding fast his
one sound hand, and opening his
mouth she deity scooped out the store
of raisins. Then she sat and ate them
very calmly at safe distance, while
he moved and chartered in impotent
rage. He knew that without her help
he could not reach home, and was fain
to wait with what patience he might

In Those Ancient Times.
Large ships were not unknown to
the ancients, and some of the most
roomy attained dimensions equal to
ships of modern times. Nevertheless,
they were unmanageable monstros-
tiles, almost at the mercy of wind and
wave, and utterly unfit to cope With
the fury Of hurricane. Doubtless we
are indebted to travellers tales for the
detailed descriptions that survive the
lapse Of ages Constantius conveyed
from Heliopolis to Rome an obelisk
weighing fifteen hundred tons. and, in
addition to this long coveted monolith,
the ship carried about twelve hundred
tons of pulse, slowed about the smaller
end of the obelisk, in order 10 bring
the ship on an even keel.
In 26s B. c. Archimedes devised y
marvellous ship for Hero, Of Syracuse.
Her three lofty masts had been brought
from Britain, whereas our ships masts
are of iron, or obtained from New Zea-
land or from Vancouver island. Luxu-
riously fitted sleeping apartments
abounded and one of her banqueting
halls was paved with agate and costly
Sicilian stone. Other floors were cum

the submission OF those who are prone
to disregard the Law and defy au-

This is pernicious theory Unques-

should be pervaded with spirit Of
genuine kindness: but kindness alone
will not govern lawlessness, nor Wilt

In order to command the obedience

the party to be governed q full convic-
ton that the power of the other party
is superior to his own; that there Is in
the party claiming obedience an ample
reserve Of pos err fully adequate to en-
force the claim. The more complete
this conviction, the less occasion there
viii be for the exercise of the power.
The value of sindness should not be
