why They should BE Urged to Take Part
In Outdoor Sports
SO much depends upon the education
of girls that the mother who gives
serious thought to the matter will at
once recognize the Importance of care
fully supervising the daily life of her
young impressionable daughter.
Muscle and nerve will not grow
strong if indoor amusements are the
rule. Embroidery and sewing are very
well in their way, but il is absolute
cruelty TO compel a growing girl to sit
in chair for an hour or two and indus
triously apply the needle.
There is no reason why girls should
not take part in some Of the outdoor
sports that give TO their brothers such
robust constitutions.
Health, unless built on a solid foun-
dation, is n base counterfeit; there
fore, mothers should insist upon the
formation of habits that tend to
strengthen both nerve and muscle.
The reading of sensational literature
should be strictly forbidden, as it has a
tendency 10 make girls morbidly senti-
mental and self-conscious, and finally
renders them incapable of approaching
high-class reading matter.
1t is a bad plan to check or repress a
girl continually. Health, vitality and
exuberance of spirit go hand in hand.
Instead of trying TO subdue nature of
this description, encourage walking,
running, horseback riding, lawn ten

Travels of the Future to Jupiter and

From the New York Sun

Saturn With the Help of Apergy.
From the New York Sun.
Mr.. John Jacob Astor has written ro-
nance which is to be published immedi-
aTely by d. Appleton s. Co. The title is
"A Journey TO Other Worlds; a Romance
of the Future" The time is the year
1000 A. D. and the story describes a Jour
ney, by novel means, to the planet Ju-
piter where the conditions of the carbon
1ferous age are found to exist, and also to
Saturn, where the travellers are imagined
to meet with the spirits of the departed
The romance is said TO contain manytnew
and striking Developments of the possi-
bilities of science in the future, and the
book is destribed as extremely interesting
botn as a work of imagination and an ex-
ample of the ingenious and original ap-
plication of science.
This is Mr.. Astors first important ven
ture in literat ture, although when he was
at ST Paul's School, at Concord, he CON
tributed several articles of merit to the
school paper, Horae Scholastice, among
them one entitled "A D. 1000" and an
other called "Dreamland and Shadow
land" When a student at Harvard he
devoted himself in a large part to scien-
tific courses and to political economy, and
his interest was shown by the fact that
he had the honor of appearing on the
rank list every year. Since graduation
he has given much time to scientific liter
ature and study.
He has been engaged upon "a Journey
in Other Worlds" for two years One
special object has been, as the preface
says, to increase popular interest in sci
ence In his book he develops the idea Of
a new force called apergy, the counter
part of gravitation, its Applicant repre-
senting, of course, an advance on the fly
ing machine, which the most progressive
minds believe to be near at hand. Many
adventures and strange incidents are de-
scribed, and these have furnished admi-
rable subjects for the illustrator, Dan
