EXERCISE For GIRLS.

All good mothers know the strength
or frailty of their daughters, and
should guard their exercise as faith
fully as their dict. Excitement or
enthusiasm ia any pet scheme some
times makes girl lose sight of her
physical strength until her constitu-
ton is permanently injured. Mothers
should be the most careful sentinels.
There is a great cry now for out
door exercise, yes, for all Kinds of ex-
ercise, but girls should no more be
overburdened with healthful exercise
than with.work; when it overtaxes
the strength it ceases to be healthful.
In this day of numerous entertain
ments girls often walk too much, sing
too much and stand too much. New

the total of 200, 900, 900 square miles.
Its energy is that due to the motion
of this inconceivable mass, at veloci-
ties varying all the way from the
gentlest zephyr to the hurricane and
the cyclone, rushing over the prairie
or along the surface of the sea at
more than hundred miles an hour.

A High. Priced Pianist.

The time of Paderewski, the famous
pianist, seems TO hang heavily on his
hands. He spends many idle hours,
for instance, playing pool at the Wind
sor Hotel. A millionaire society man.
who frequently met the pianist there,
invited him TO an afternoon tea, which
the wealthy mans wife was to give
the next day. The pianist rather
coldly referred his intended host to his
agent at Chickering Hall. When the
agent was seen the first question he
asked was: II suppose Mrs. v. will
expect Padcrewski to play?'
81 suppose so."
"Then NJ. Paderewski will accept
your invitation as an engagement"
s.Oh, very well, if you prefer to put
it that way" returned the millionaire.
.What are the terms?"
s.Three thousand dollars for one
piece, and Mr.. Paderewski will con-
sent to q single encore!p
The terms were not accepted. II
appears that NJ. Paderewski is really
making SO much money that he does
aot abate his terms one iota, even
when tea and New York's most ex-
elusive society are thrown in.-[New

The long shawl, writes Ada Cone to
the Chicago Ncws-Record from Paris,
has been resuscitated-the scarf in
which the beauties of the first empire
draped themselves a-Pantique; the
shawl which had again such vogue in
New York forty years ago that it
earned for the haut ton of that day
the title of the ssshawl aristoeracy," in
which Mrs. Coventry Waddell, the
Mrs. Astor of the day, possessing an
extremely rich one, was wont to rouse
the envy of an admiring Broadway,
aud which inspired whole chapter in
one of N. p. Willis books.
Not the shawl itself has returned as
yet, but the appearance of it. all the
suggestion of it, is here in long scarfs
of lace or of velvet, that encircle the
shoulders and hang to the foot of the
gown. This event was prophesied by
me last spring. It is the most impor-
tant fact to chronicle at this moment
in the fashion world.
1t is curious to recall that not so
very long ago neither Parisiau nor
American women had ever heard of
cashemire shawl, and were ignorant
even of the tissue of which it is made.
Itwas in 1885 that French diplo-
mate brought home from Persia ono
Of these shawls and displayed it as .
curiosity to Nine. du Baray aud the
other women of che court, who sat in
judgment upon il and decided unani-
mously that 1t was a perfectly horrid
old thing, without a particle of grace.
But after the Egyptian campaign the
shawl reappeared in an opera-box and
became the craze. This was the en-
tree of the shawl into fashionable
dress, and for it, as for SO many other
innovations. we are indebted to Ma
poleon.
The ghost of the shawl has reap
peared in the opera-boxes. It is in
great vogue. Everybody must have

would be up with the times.

A WOMAN WHO KNOWS Law.

The Chicago Legal News, in recent
issue, gives very interesting account
of the work of Miss Helen Thompson,
who was secretary to her father, the
editor of the American Law Rcvlew,
for two years. Miss Thompson dur
that time wrote 200 judicial opinions
taken from his dictations on the phon-
ograph and spent her spare time
studying law. She has now married

Expense Of Improving State Roads.

at the first annual meeting of the
State Road Improvement Association
of New Jersey, held in Trenton, State
Geologist John G. Smock read paper

were 1898 miles of public roads.
commonly known as country roads,
or one mile of road to every 250 acres
Of land. These roads made of Tel
ford would cost $40 to the acre, and
of gravel about $8 an acre. In the
northern part of New Jersey there are
693 miles of roads which should be
made of stone, while in South Jersey
there are 738 miles of such roads.
The 693 miles in the northern part of
the state made of stone would cost, at
the rate of $1,000 a mile, Sc, $50. 600.
The 758 miles in South Jersey, made
of gravel, at the rate of $25 90 mile,
would cost 81, Sac, 900, or total cost
of SO, ,775,000. Professor Smock said
the rate per mile for the construction
of both kinds of roads could probably
be reduced, but in the estimate which
he had made the rate of taxation
would be one dollar for every twelve
miles. 1t was the sense of the meet
ing that the State Aid Law of 1891,
under which several counties will be-
gin the construction of roads in the
spring, has been beneficial in opera
ton, and that it would be unwise to
attempt to amend it at present. - New

A Bird's-Eye View Of the Sand
witch Islands.
Their Extent, Population, Gov
ernment and Trade.

The little group OF the "Sandwich
Islands, as they are popularity called,
lies on the norther rim of the tropic
zone, in latitude 20 and 25, 2100 miles
west of San Francisco, with which
they are connected by weekly line of
steamers. Other lines running be-
tween America and Australia also pass
through them, and Honolulu, the capi-
tai, town of 10000 population, on
the island OF Oahu, is city of con-
siderable commercial importance.
The islands are to a great extent
mountainous and volcanic, but the
soil is fertile, the temperature equa-
bic, and the warm, moist climate sup
ports luxuriant vegetation. Crops
ripen at all seasons of the year, and
the flowers always blooming in the
widest luxuriance. On one acre of
ground properly graded man can
raise rice, tara plants, from which
poi, the native Cruel, is made; bread
fruit, figs, cocoanuts, bananas, and
countless smaller fruits and vegeta-
bles-aI1, in fact, that is necessary for
lifc in these islands of Incidence.
Some interesting facts regarding the
Sandwich Islands are thus summar-
lied:
The group, which was discovered
by Captain Cook over a century ago,
consists of the islands Of Hawaii,
4210 square miles; Maui, 760; Oahu,
600; Kauai, 500; Molokai, 270;
Lanai, 15o; Nihau, 81; Kahoolawe,
6S-a total Of 6640 square miles. The
population consists of 10000 people,
q gain of 10000 since 1884. There
are 40, 900 natives and half-castes, co.
900 Japanese, $4,000 Chinese, 5000
Portuguese, 2OO0 born in the United
States, 1900 English, German and
French, and the rest of various races.
The Chinese and japanese are not al
lowed to vote. Of the $4,000 voters
5000 belong to the white race. The
natives. closely resembling the Maoris
of New Zealand, have decreased four
teen per cent. in eight years and will
soon become extinct. The half-casies,
on the other hand. have increased
about so per cent. in the same period.
The government heretofore has been
based much on the English system,
with queen, cabinet, house of
mobiles and parliament or house of
representatives., which meets every
two years in April or May. Queen
Lilliuokalani is Presbyterian, but
the utmost religious freedom is al
lowed, The denominations being di-
vided as follows: Protestants, 25, ,865;
Roman Catholics, 20,072; Hebrews,
73, Mormons, 1915, and the rest uu-
designated. In 1890 there were 17S
schools. with an attendance of about
ten thousand children. The estimated
revenue for 1591-92 was 81, ,S65,5o
The import trade, 81 per cent. of
which is with the United States, is
mostly in domestic goods, provisions,
machinery, etc. The principal ex-
ports in 1890 were sugar $12, ,159, 5S5,
rice s545,239, bananas SIG, ,s51,
hides $40, ,949. The current in use is
mostly American gold and native
silver. The rate of interest varies
from five 10 ten per cent. The public
debt on March 81, 1890, amounted to
1884 900, raised in London, paying
six per cent. interest. New York

Salt Lake People Think the Proposition a
Good One.
A knot of prominent citizens engaged in
a discussion of railroad matters at the
chamber of commerce last evening, and
naturally the talk turned to the proposed
short lire from Denver to Salt Lake and
On to the coast.
''The proposition will undoubtedly be
carried out, !" remarked one, because
Governor Evans is at the back of it, and
he has already carried three such pro-
jects through, and because the scheme is
q good one. 1t will be 2O0 miles shorter
than any existing road between the two
cities, and will be a great help TO the
Deep Creek railroad"
g 1t means the building of a line
through to Los Angeles" remarked
another citizen, and that will be
a big thing for us. The distance
from Salt Lake to Los Angeles can
Rlmcss be cut in two. and it will
bring the two cities very close together,
socially and commercially. During the
winter our people can slip down to Los
Angeles, and when it is hot there the Los
Angeles people viii come to Salt Lake in
oroves to enjoy our bathing and visit the
mountain resorts. Such a line would be
a great thing, too, for the fruit growers
out there and would have very benehc-
lsl effect on our commerce.
