It is said that the introduction OF
physical training intothe public schools
of Boston has been followed by most
beneficial results. It has now been
tried long enough to be aSle to predi,
cate something about its effects. In
1890 the Swedish educational system
of gymnastics was introduced, and
since then the pupils have been COM
PEELED to go through certain exercises
every day. At the opening in Sep
TENDER of the present school year COM
parsons were made between the bear
ing and physique of the scholars to-
day and their appearance of three
years ago. It was the unanimous
opinion of the teachers that their
charges had become much more grace
full in carriage, stronger and more ro.
bust. In the high school there has
never before been a brighter and
healthier lot Of boys. The system in
vogue is thorough. Each teacher re-
ceives a lesson in the exercises every
two weeks, and the scholars devote ff-
teen minutes a day to physical cul-
ture,"

Nicaragua has enacted laws that
bears very hard on the alien, notes the
San Francisco Examiner. The under
lying idea seems to be to have the
alien furnish the money for a govern
ment devoted mostly to his own OPP
preston. When Nicaragua shall have
acquired the largest standing army in
the world And the largest navy it may
be able to execute these laws. In the
meantime much satisfaction may be
derived from contemplating the fact
that such august enactments adorp
and glorify the statute books.

The Adjutant General of the United

The Adjutant General of the United
States, i'll his recent report, expresses
himself quite strongly against the In
dian as a soldier. He makes a good
scout, and that is about the best that
can be gotten out of him. Says the
report: The Indian is not very adap-
table to discipline at best, and to sta
ton him as a soldier near the reserva-
tion is fruitful Of discomfort, because
ne will compare the restraints of mill
tary life with the freedom and indo-
lence of his brethren on the reserva-
ton. A lack of knowledge Of the Eng
lish language, a strong repugnance to
work, illiteracy and no familiarity with
athletic sports are also against the In
dians' development as al arm of the
regular army.

Various cities in Germany have es-
tablished municipal eating houses as a
means for minimizing begging and to
relieve the worthy poor Of the neces-
Bity of accepting food given in charity.
Our Consul at Chemnitz. JAN s G.
Monaghan, in a report to the State De-
partment, gives a most favorable ac-
count Of an institution Of this kind in
that city, as the result of a visit. "The
food is substantial" he declares. "To
D Woodworking man with appetite
sharpened by exercise, the dinner Is
excellent. The meats, vegetables, ETC.,
are properly cleaned and prepared be-
fore they are cooked. Everything is
kept clean, and smellssweet and whole
some. The people, who look hearty,
gather in large rooms on benches
placed by long tables. Besides the
thinner, the midday meal, supper is
served to those who wish it," From
the list of the food given, observes the
Boston Herald, it appears to be sub
stantial and excellent in kind and
variety, and that the institution is APP
preciated is evidenced by the fact that
last year 435, $50 dinners were sold.
The food is sold by the portion, and
an ample dinner never costs more than
ten cents. The establishment is 50
practically managed that it yields
something Of a profit to the city: the
expenditures last year were $751; 57. %,
and the receipts were SIT, 501. 68, leav-
ING . balance Of $1944.4O. AT our
municipal lodging house here in Bos-
ton, meals and lodging are paid for in
work. Our custom Of giving out free
soup at the police stations through the
winter has little to commend it. 1t is
~demoralizing and encourages vagrancy
and pauperism. The bounty often goes

boarding houses obtaining supplies for
their tables regularly in this way. On

The night that followed shutdown
was one<of rich tropic beauty, The
moon was at her full. Her wake
flowed in a river of greenish splendor
across the black surface of the water /;
but the night beam was SO clear and
piercing that the eye easily followed
the hard, firm sweep of the line of the
horizon.
When the sloop had gained an ofing
of about two miles the weak breeze
scanted, then fell dead, and the hush
! of the night, solemn with it's beauty,
| came down upon the sea.
The sloop let 60 her anchor, but
kept her sails hoisted; and the white
ness of the cloths in the light of the
moon was like a beacon of white fire
delicatcly burning a long way off on
the ocean. 1t was remarkable that
| though about midnight a light breeze
sprang up, the sloop showed no dis
position to get her anchor and make a
second start for her destination, wher-
ever that might be.
Her sails trembled IL the wind.
They were useless, yet she kept them
aloft. Seemingly her notion was to be
under command SO as to get away at
any moment by slipping, as the cutter
had done before the piccaroon walked
off with her.
Sometimes a single figure stumped
| the deck; sometimes three or four.
Time after time one or another Of
those figures would carefully sweep

direction of the land, with q binocn-
lar glass. But all remained silent and
motionless out upon the sea. Nothing
