EXERCISE FOR GIRLS.

All good mothers know the strength
or frailty of their daughters, aud
should guard their exercise as faith
fully as their dict. Excitement or
enthusiasm in any pet scheme some
times makes girl lose sight of her
physical strength until her coustitu-
ton is permanently injured. Mothers
should be the most careful sentinels.
There is 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 healthfuI.
In this day Of numerous entertain
ments girls often walk too much, sing
too much and stand too much. New

The Power of the Air.

The magnitude of the storo of aerial
energy, writes r. H. Thurston, in a
paper OH "Modern Uses of the Wind
mill" appearing in the Engineering
Magazine, upon which mankind may
draw, SO long as the race exists upon
this earth, is beyond the reach of the
Imagination to conceive, but not be-
yond the power Of computation by
the mathematician. Taking the ouan- :
titles roughly and in ground num-
bers,'' the atmosphere weighs about a
ton to every square foot of the eartll's
surface; 25.000,000 tons per square
mile, or 5000. 900, 900, 900. 900 tons on
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 aloug the surface of the sea at
more than hundred miles an hour.
A cubic mile of air weighs about
$1,000, 900 pounds, and, at the rate of
motion of the cyclone, developed

A brooch called the "Sunburst" is
made of pearls-black. white, cream.

REruRN on rHE SHAVE.

The long shawl, writes Ada Cone to
the Chicago News-Record from Paris,
has been resuscitated-the scarf in
which the beauties of the first empire
draped themselves a-Pautique; 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 sshawl aristocracy," IL,
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,
and 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 Palisian nor
American women had ever heard of
a cashemire shawl, and were ignorant
even of the tissue of which it is made.
1t was 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 the court, who sat in
Judgment upon il and decided unani-
mously that 1t was perfectly horrid
old thing, without 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. 1t is in
great vogue. Everybody must have

would be up with the times.

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 C. Smock read paper
making estimates of the miles of roads
in the state and the expense of i'm
proving them. In 1887, he said, there
were 1876 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, aud
of gravel about SO 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 73S miles of such roads.
The sos miles in the northern part of
the state made Of stone would cost, at
the rate of $1,000 a mile, Sc, $3.50, 900.
The 758 miles in South Jersey, made
of gravel, at the rate of $25 90 mile,
would cost 81, ,S45 900, or total cost
of $9,775, 900. 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. It 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
