oughly examined, as they have been but
partially prospecUed.

BETTER THAN GYMNASTICS.
Natural Exercise the Best to Develop
the Youthful Frame.

ZIG OuJl1llii frame.
The pre-eminently recreative exercise
IS play. according to a writer in the
Popular Science Nonthty. This natural
gymnastics brings with it an attraction
that animates the most Indifferent and
gives inspiration TO the most phlegmstic.
And what contrast there is between
pupils exercising in play and those upon
whom systematic gymnastic course is
mposed-betWeen the English school
children, for example, and the French.
in France, to verybody's sorrow, the
children seem to have horror Of motion.
Left to themselves, as soon as they are
ont OF the schoolroom, they walk along
slowly or gather in groups in the corners
of the yard; and they pass the time in
chatting, in ''philosophizing." Gymnas-
tics is obligatory. it is true, on some days
and at certain hours, but witness Of the
lesson will be struck with observing that
hardly four or five pupils out of thirty
execute their exercises conscientiously,
The others present themselves in their
turn, but hardly outline the movement
The professor incites them, urges them,
and they go back to their places after
having made an imitation OF an effort.
In the English colleges no regulation
makes exercise obligatory and everyone
is free to dispense with it or engage in it
at will. But all give themselves up to it
with incredible ardor. Weak and strong
young pupils or students 20 years old, ali
show an equal passion for those plays in
the open air now neglected in France. for
which gymnastics las been so uutortu-
nately substituted.

The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1893-07-04

Republican, who comes from the
East or South and indeed from
the West save the so-cslled
silver States. We believe this ac-
ton on the part Of the President will
have a most salutary effect on the
business interests of the country. The
fact that the financial situation will
receive the attention of Congress, can
not but have quieting influence on
the money market. That the existing
scare in the money centers arise more
from imaginary than from real causes
is pretty generally conceded, and If
Congress will promptly remove the
Sherman Silver Law, which is
mighty bug-bear for financial pirates
o use to scare timid capital, the sit
taticn will probably improve at once.
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1893-07-04


The action Of.the President in call.
ing an extra session of Congress meet.
the hearty approval of the country.
The pressure brought to bear up
on Mr.. Cleveland for an earlier
session than he had intimated, would
be named, was so great that it could
hardly have been safe to resist it. The
cry went up from all parts of the
country for the opportunity to? be
given Congress to pass upon the, ,Sher-
man Law, the repeal of which is so
urgently desired by members of both
the great parties. The country de-
mands that the purchase by the Gov
ernment of four and a half millions of
silver per month be stopped, land so pos
tive is the demand, that it will take
bold man indeed who will dare to vote
against its repeal, be he Democrat or
