Physical Culture In Schools.

From the New York Times.
Boston has proved to her satisfaction
that physical culture is a success in her
schools. A Swedish teacher who has made
herself acquainted with the matter says
there is no question that the general health
of the boys and girls was markedly better
at the end of the school year of 1895 than
1890 or 1891. She believes that the fifteen
minute daily exercise has caused this i'm
provement, and predicts that time will show
a more perfect physique, graceful bearing
and healthy carriage.
There is no doubt in the minds of stu
dents Of health upon this point. The blood
grows sluggish with sedentary habits. and
the brain does poorer work for 1t. Start
the circulation by active respiration and
muscular action. and give the correct pose
to the body. whether walking or sitting.
and the child is sure to prove more robust
and more intelligent. Brooklyn has her
director of physical culture of the public
schools. following Boston's system closely,
and it is hoped success will attend the new
regime.

THE CARE OF CLOTHING.

Prevent Wear and Tear by Brushing
Carefully and Folding.
From Harpers Bazaar.
Much Of the wear and tear which uses up
good clothing may be averted by constant
care. Gowns should be brushed before
hanging up In closets. 1t is best to have
this done as soon as possible after taking
them off, thoroughly removing the traces
OF street dust and mud from facings, seams
and gathers. The neat woman does not
brush her gown in her own chamber, but
takes 1t into the bath room and brushes it
beside an open window, or, better still, has
1t carried out Of doors for the operation.
disease germs may be carried home in
clothing. and, were this not the case it is
very untidy proceeding to put into ones
wardrobe an article of dress which has not
been thoroughly cleansed

bonnet she does not bundle it at once into

Gloves are expensive articles, no matter

But gloves will last a third longer than
they usually do If pulled off the hand from
the wrist down, and turned inside out, as
Is done when they are tried on in the
shops; If laid by themselves, properly
straightened, and not crumpled into a
tight ball. and If mended at the instant a
rip shows itself a pair of gloves will re-
tain their pristine freshness. 1t is good
policy to have best and second-best gloves,
and gloves for shopping and running about.
In our chilly winters the last mentioned

be cleaned more than once to advantage.

PURSUED IN ILL LICK.

IL anybody I'm Chicago possesses a magic

applying TO J. W. Levy. All Calumet ave-

Wednesday morning Mrs. Levy lost her
pocketbook containing So. Two hours later
Miss Levy had her nun and pocketbook
stolen in a State street store. That same
day Mr.. Levy received a telegram that one
of his firms creditors had failed. The credi-
tor was In debt TO the firm for 500 worth OF
goods. And to round out the hard luck
story OF a day Mr.. Levy discovered, upon
retiring, that some one had stolen scarf
pin which he had worn that day for the
first time.

Wanted to BE q Crank.

From the Albany Argus.
He had strayed into one OF the public
buildings and was looking wistrully at
rack on which there were a number OF
hand grenade fire extinguishers. He was a
very mild-looking little man, and he called
out ''Say!' to several people before he could
get attention. At last Waterman saw him
and said:

'Nothin' in particular. But now that I'm
here I've got an idea. 1 want to borry one

From the st. James Gazette.
The American, ]. Showalter Is an excep-
ton among the strong players of the day
He has preserved and cultivated some of
the best features Of the imaginative and
attacking style Of the past generation of
chess experts. while he at the same time
endeavors to move on the safe lines which
modern analysis Of the openings shows to
be free from reproach and danger In this
he follows in the footsteps Of the late Capt.
Mackenzie Both the latter and Showalter
almost exclusively confined themselves to
the trusty Ruy Lopez debut. but once
through the opening they both parted COM
pany with the tactics Of the modern
school.
In the games Of DR.. Tarrasch. for in
stance. struggle for position will succeed
the Introductory play, whereas in the
games of the two players named prepare
tons and a struggle for attack-if posi-
BILE on the kings side-will be the leading
feature Of the play in the middle game In
elegance and holiness of attack Showalter's
play will be found second to none. Lasker
excels in the same way. but the latter will
attack more cautiously than the former
and will. generally speaking keep his game
well In hand. basing his movements on a
very sound and intuitively reliable judy
ment Of position. Tschigorin has greater
powers than Showalter, but he is handicap
ped by acting in exact opposition to the
strategy pursued by the American player
in the openings. The Russian plays every
thing, and makes a point of not implicitly
following authorities. Needless to say, such
| tactics enormously increase t,e work to be
| DONE and the difficult task results In cor
responding percentage of failures At times
| also, the movements of the Russian player
| seem labored and his mind clouded per.
| haps by the exuberance Of his own imagiua.
| tom. detracting a great deal from the effec-
| tiveness of his play.
Lasker does combine the best features o,
both styles Of play, whereas Tarrasch only
partly succeeds in doing so. He WILL OF
| course. occasionally get up fine attacks
but only II the positions will readily edmi,
| of that being done. He will not go much
| out of his way to invent an attack or &c
| conjure 1t out Of the blue" like an electric
| storm, as may be seen in many of Mac
kenzie's best games. There Is also ten
dency in his play to place too much reli
| ance on the theoretical view of the posi-
| ton, and therefore to underrate attack. Tit
interesting question therefore presents 1t
self: Supposing Tarrasch were opposed t
| SO keen a player as Lasker, who, while be
| ing as keen in attack as Tschigorin, at tn,
same time knows all about the opening.
and the modern school theory of position
