The Best Kind of Exercise.

There is no single exercise which COM
bines so many health giving qualities as
riding. 1t is peculiarly valuable to
children, for it is the most certain and
gentle developer of the back and stom-
ach muscles and imparts tone to the
entire system that cannot possibly be
attained in any other way. Even foot
ball. the hardest of all games, falls
short of having the same invigorating
effect on the boy. If this be true for
the boy-and such it is now generally
admitted to be-how much more neces-
sary is riding to the young girl who has
no game but lawn tennis, which fails to
exercise the most important parts of her
body2
Few boys and girls. and almost as few
men and women, think twice of the val
ue of different kinds of exercise to them,
Dr. would know much about it if they
lid think. Any exercise of course. mod
erately taken, is better than none, but
the exercise which acts upon arms and
legs only is of not one-half the value of
that which acts on the body, the chest,
stomach and back. When, then, an ex-
ercise is found that acts on all, its value
s apparent without further argument.

Where Roses Grow.

For many centuries the growing of
roses for the manufacture of perfume
has been an important industry in many
places.
In the south of France and in Algeria
rose culture is conducted upon a large
scale. Shiraz, in Persia, and Ghazipur,
In India, have long been important CEN
ters of the industry. and so has Medine-
tel-Fayoum, in Egypt. But. most noted
of all, yielding the largest quantity and
the finest quality, is Kazanlik, in eastern
Bumelia-the valley of roses.
This lovely valley lies on the southern
slope of the Balkans, sheltered by their
towering sides from the cold north
winds, and is the center Of a district
which yields on an average nearly 1000
pounds avoirdupois of altar Of roses, rep
resenting a commercial value of $3.50. 900.

"My young friend Seth Blooty," said
Colonel Calliper, was healthy and
wealthy, and he had nothing to do but
to get as much enjoyment out of life as
he could. For time he had great sue
cess; then cloud arose.
"Seth was not tall man-in fact, he
was rather short, but he had never
thought anything about this one way or
the other until men began to wear large
plaids, and, do you know, he was great
ly distressed because he couldn't wear
plaids as big as some of his friends could?
Seems foolish, doesn't it, for man
situated as Seth was to fret over such a
matter as that3 But l venture to say
that we all know men with every reason
to be happy who make themselves mis-

GRAINS OF GOLD.
ruth is the rarest of gems.

Truth is the rarest of gems.
Work is the best antidote of woe.
Profanity is mark of low breeding.
People who have no occupation must
worry.
Courage is the secret of all power and
success.
There is nothing like courage in mis-
fortune.
1t is hard to forget the good qualities
of those who forget us.
Children preach to us. not so much by
their lips as by their innocence.
The supine sluggard is no more indo-
lent than the bustling do-nothing.
In religion, as in friendship, they who
profess most are the least sincere.
A large part of the devils work is to
make wrong people think they are right.
Liberality consists less in giving much
than in giving in the right way and at
the right moment.
Punishment is fruit that, unsuspect-
ed. ripens within the flower of the pleas
ure that concealed it.
Don't conclude that people have no
good in them because you can see that
they have some weakness.
Reason cannot show itself more rea-
s1nable than to cease reasoning on things
that are above reasoning.
We may talk about amicable argu-
ment, but its real end is to prove that
the other man is wrong.
In private life and all life,t best mo-
tives to action are those which lie outside
of self and its supposed interests.
If we could trade places with the peo-
pie who dazzle our eyes with the luster
of their good fortune, we would get the
worst of it every time.
Don't be looking at those who make
higher professions than you do, to see if
you can't find ugly spots on them. There
is no Eourishment in any such diet.

The Uses of Hot Water,

Speaking of hot water, it is wonderful
how many good purposes it serves. A
compress of linen wrung out of hot salt
and water and applied to the chest, COW
cred entirely and closely with flannel to
prevent the taking of cold, will ease pain
and do away with the irritation which
eliminates in frequent coughing. Hot
water at the back of the neck and be-
hind the ears will cure that nervous
WEAKNESS and hysteria which overcome
one after hard days work. Hot water
taken internally before meal is an aid
to digestion. Philadelphia Times.

income of 5000 year, suddenly resolved
last fall to go abroad for the first time.

excellent fare. Her companions on the
vessel were few and very agreeable peo-
pie, gentle folks like herself. She went
directly to Torquay, where she found
board for S. week and where she spent
the winter, going up to London toward
spring and making fortnight's trip to

THOMAS DEFEATED.
Wilder Played an Excellent Game
Of Billiards.

OF Billiards.
The sixth game in the Foley billiard
tourney was played last night. with
Wilder, who lost game last week to
Wilmot, and Thomas. who defeated
Glow, as the contestants. Wilder GER
tainly played wonderful game, and
took matters very calmly. He ably re-
trieved himself from his last weeks de-
feat. As one bystander correctly eX
pressed it, after the game was over:
"Wilder played as good game tonight
as he did a poor one last week. This
goes to prove that Thomas Foley knew
his business when he arranged the
handicaps for the contestants in this
tournament" Everything seemed to
come Wilder's way, and the ivory balls
seemed almost endowed with magic.
AS to Thomas, luck seemed against
him, and his playing was somewhat on
the spasmodic order. To be sure he made
some beautiful shots, and the spectators
were not slow to appreciate the fact,
giving him their plaudits generously.
Though his cOuntenance betokened
little anxiety towards the last, his man.
was marvellous. In the ffty-seventh
inning, when he had 81 to make while
Wilder had but l. w ilder fell on all
easy shot, and Thomas played with as
much sangtroid as though he felt alb
solutely certain of making high run of
67 without break.
In the game tirty-eight innings were
played, and the score stood at the fin
ish 300 to 233 in favor of Wilder. His
high runs were: IL, 16. Is. 15, Thomas,
Ii, 10, 10, IA, IL. IA. DR.. Lawton, as
referee, is an ideal choice, giving per-
feet satisfaction.
Tonight Glow will play Bunker, and
1t promises to be a contest of skill.
