Physical Culture for Women.

Dame Nature is as a rule kind tC
! the fair sex, and they can manage
their limbs much better generally
then men. but there is still room for
improvement in the appearance OF
most women. The majority of young
| women never give the art of Guilt
waiting the body any attention, hence
SO many weak and undeveloped fig
ureS Women can become ideals of
graceful motion and beauty by Guilt
waiting the body, and they can pre-
serve health and beauty of figure
until old age by physical training.
Women need physical exercise quite
as much as men, yet it is only within
the last few years that steps have
been taken to provide instruction for
girls in this useful art of physical
culture. At the present time how
ever interest seems to have been
awakened in this important matter,
and in most cities there are colleges
where physical development is taught
and number Of private gymnasiums
where girls and women can enter
upOA u SOuASO VI PAy SNoA gtoAlliAS'
and it is beyond question that the
pupils Of these Halls Of Health are
greatly improved in personal appear
ance and health by systematic phYsi-
Cal training-rosy cheeks bright eyes,
grace of action and clear and ringing
laughter follow as a result of Judi
ciouS exercise.
Present day methods of life are
highly strained and it is necessary
that the body should be fully de-
veloped and kept in permanent
strength by habitual physical exer-
else and wholesome food otherwise
the physical life becomes degenerated
and eventually the body breaks down
and women become nervous and suf-
fer almost countless ills Women are
more prone to NERVOUS prostration"
than men, and especially so in this
country. Society women for the want
of regular physical exercise become
pale, thin, and spiritless, or grow cor
pulent. To get and keep the body
in perfect health is of the utmost
i'm Importance; thorough enjoyment of
life will follow as a result.

Caring for Border Plants.

It is 10y plan to heapat least six OF
eight inches of coarse litter or leaves
about all border plants in the fall,
writes Eben E. Rexford in q timely
article on "Work in the Autumn
Garden" in the Ladies' Home Jour-
nal would prefer leaves to any
thing else as protection, because
they are natures covering, light,
porous and extremely effective, but
it is generally impossible to get
enough of them, and coarse litter
from the stable answers very well. If
very coarse it will be necessary to
apply more of it than is necessary
when fine. Leaves will be blown
away by the wind unless confined.
1t is good plan to set old boxes,
from which the bottom has been re-
moved, over the plants and fill them
with leaves Lay a few evergreen
branches or some pieces of boards,
over the leaves to keep them down.
1t is not necessary to pack them in
closely. 1t must be borne in mind
that our protection does not protect
against cold. We do not expect to
keep out frost, but-rather to keep it
in after it has effected an entrance.
1t is the warmth of the sun that we
are trying TO keep out. Plant-roots
are but little injured by freezing, if
they remain frozen. 1t is alternate
freezing and thawing that does the
mischief. Our covering simply keeps
the sun from extracting the frost,
and does not aim to make the plant
any warmer at its roots. Therefore
whatever will effectually keep the
warmth of the sun from undoing
what the frost has done will answer
as covering, without regard to
quantity. ~

He usually followed me on short

one occasion he Jagged behind and
although ! called him several times
he paid no heed.

see how he would act: so I slipped
into hollow stump close by the trail
and waited the result. Presently
heard him coming bounding along
the trail and after he had passed
stuck out my head to watch him.
When he got about twenty feet be-
yond me he stopped and commenced
looking around and the comical ex-
preston on his face as he scanned
every object that bore any resem-
blance to human being caused me
to burst out laughing. when he turned
and saw me. Then he commenced to
sulk and would not go any further,

Wrote Sermons While Asleep.

One of the most remarkable and
puzzling cases of somnambulism is
one told by the Bishop Of Bordeaux.
The subject was a young ecclesiastic
at the seminary. The bishop was so
deeply interested that he went
nightly to the young mans chamber.
He saw him get out of bed, secure
paper, compose and write sermons.
On finishing page he read it aloud.
When a word displeased him,he wrote
correction with great exactness.
The bishop had seen a beginning Of
some of these sOmnambulistic SER
mons and thought them well COM
posed and correctly written Curious
to ascertain whether the young man
made use of his eyes the bishop put a
card under his chin in such manner
as to prevent him seeing the paper on
the table before him, but he still
continued to write. Not yet salts
fed whether or not he could dis
tinguish different objects placed be-
fore him, the bishop took away the
piece Of paper on which he wrote and
substituted several other kinds at
different times He always perceived
the change, because the pieces of
paper were of different sizes When
a piece exactly like his own was sub
stituted, he used it and wrote his
corrections on the places correspond
ing to those on his own paper It
was by this means that portions Of
his nocturnal compositions were OBJ
tanned. His most astonishing pro-
duction was piece of music written
with great exactitude. He used a
cane for a ruler. The clefs, the flats,
and the sharps were all in their right
places. The notes were all made as
circles, and those requiring it were
afterwa1d blackened with ink. The
words were all written below, but
once they were in such very large
characters that they did not come
below their proper notes. and
perceiying this be erased them all
and wrote them over again.

Club Life.

Men in American clubs spend money
more freely than the English club
man. Many London clubs include a
considerable number of men whose
incomes are just sufficient to enable
them to live as bachelors in decent
style. They live upon a fixed sum,
while in the United States every man
is hoping for better things The
average London club is created with
a proper. regard for the limitations of
younger sons. Thackeray's Poly
anthus, where Mr.. GoldWortby, NJ p. =,
ate'his shilling dinner of Two mutton
chops and a due allowance of club
bread and beer, was designed to meet
the wants of men with modest in
comes.
You must know, sir" says Brown,
the elder, that at the Polyanthus,
in common with most clubs, gentle
men are allowed to enjoy gAtis, in the
coffee-room, bread, beer, sauces, and
pickles. After o'clock, if you order
your dinner. you have to pay sixpence
for what is called the table-the
clean cloth, the vegetables, cheese,
etc; before that time you may have
lunch when there is no table
charge"
One institution of British clubdom
little known in this country is the
system of exchanges among clubs in
all parts of the Empire, whereby the
member of club in one city obtains,
by means of an official certificate
from his board of governors, the priv
ileges of a club in some other city, the
arrangement being mutual between
the clubs 1t was the boast of one En-
glishman that he had travelled around
the world without once stopping at a
hotel, because his London club gave

The Good Old DAYS

That everything was all right in 1.-The
coed old days." Here comes along a
diary written by a lady of fashion
some fifty years ago, and among
other complaints, which are like
those we hear every day, are these:
'Our streets are not wide enough for
the carriages, nor the week long
enough for ones engagements There
isn't enough money. or enough time
to spend it in. In short, such a
mess!" Also, the writer of the diary,
Lady Georgiana de Ros, says: mo

The Table-NapkIn.

Curiously enough, the article now
considered almost indispensable, the
table-napkin, was first used only by
children, and was only adopted by
elder members of the family ABOUT
the middle of the fifteenth century.
In etiquette books of an earlier date
than this, among many other sage
pieces of advice for children, are in
structions about wiping the fingers
and lips with their napkins. 1t
seems that the table-:loth was long
enough to reach the iioor, and served
the grown people in place Of napkins
When they did begin to use napkins,
they placed them tirst on the shoulder,
then on the left arm, and finally tied
them about the neck. Napkins be-
came popular in France sooner than
in England. At one time it was Gus
tomary at great French dinners to
change the napkins at every course,
to perfume them with rose-water,
and to have them folded a different
way for each guest
