HARMONY OF THE BODY.
Lecture by Mrs. John Bailey Before the
Art Club.

Lecture by Mrs. John Bailey Before the
Art Club.
Mrs. John Bailey lectured before the
Providence Art Club at IL o'clock this
morning on "The Harmony of the
Body; How to Sit, Stand and
Walk" She traces n close relation
between the education of the mind
and the education Of the BODY. "Cul-
ture," she says, SIS ease, repose, refine
ment. Physical culture should nave in
view not only the idea of strengthening,
but or refining. There is an intimate
relation between the will and the muscle.
Physical harmony is our birthright. We
waste an immense amount of energy
every day,-lrom 20 to so per cent of our
entire strength is uselessly dissipated.
Nv omen are very injudicious in the
use OF clothing. r. ey expose themselves
daily to conditions mat would kill men.
Hence, l infer that women are tougher
than men. There is a practical basis
upon which physical culture should be
founded. Indian clubs are TO be CEN
sured. They harden and contract the
muscles"
The speaker proceeded to define the diff
ferent phases of faulty poise, and show d
a distinct relation of harmony between the
mental, emotive u p~ropulsive parts Of
the body. She defined the points to be
observed in walking, sitting and stand
ing, the faulty positions assumed by chill
dren, n the beauty of motion In curves.

Central and Southern Pacific Roads Must
Pay Big Tax Money.


Pay Big Tax Money.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4.-Judge Heb
bard yesterday handed down a decision in
the suits against the Central and South
srn Pacific railroads for the recovery OF
taxes. The decision is against the rail-
roads.
The action was brought by the people
to recover both the state and county taxes
for the year 1887, amounting to six hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars, with live
per cont. penalty for delinquency and the
interest from the last Monday in Deem
Der, 1887.
The court allows the attorneys for the
people a contingent fee OF ten per cent.
The railroad companies held that the AS
for the taxes was illegal because
the federal franchise was included in the
assessment. The amount OF the mortgages
on the roads was not considered in the
valuation of the roads.
The court finds that the federal fran.
chise was not included in the assessment
and that In the sworn statement of the
defendants to the state board Of equaliza-
ton there was no mention OF the mort
gage bonds or trust deeds.
