The Era Of Muscle.

This is an athletic age. Everybody wants to
be strong The craze-fOr it has well nigh
reached that stage-enects both sexes and
even childhood. The pugilistic phase of this
fad in yodng America is by no means morally
promising. But it is one thing to be endowed
with vigor and another TO be Sandowed with
muscle. Super muscularity is often induced
by physical effort perilous to health and calcu-
lated to shorten life. The vigor which
means regular and efficient discharge OF the
physical functions, is the first medium at
which all may safely aim without causing
ruptures or breaking blood vessels. Hostel
ter's stomach Bitters is largely conducive to
gain in vigOr Of this sort since II stimulates
and assists digestion, pTomots regular bilious
secretion and keeps the bowels in order.
Sleep, that grand recuperstor Of nervous
vigOr, is encouraged by IL. and il remedies

the sound of rough voices calling on
my name.

THE SHORTEST TWILIGHT.
Quito, the Capital OF Ecuador. Leads the
World in This Peculiarly,

The period Of twilight shortened to-
ward the equator and lengthens to-
ward the poles. In other words, the
less the thickness of air through which
the rays of the setting sun have to pass
the sooner darkness comes. From this
1t naturally follows that the region of
the shortest twilight is the one which
IS situated nearest to the equator and
at the greatest elevation.
The two conditions are combined in
the region which strands Quito, the
capitol of Ecuador. This plateau is
nine thousand four hundred and forty
two feet above the lever of the sea: il
is also surrounded by mountains,
twenty peaks, eleven of which rise be-
yond the snow line. being visible from
the streets of the city. Added to this
It's only fifteen miles south of the
equator; hence it has shorter twilight
than any other spot on the equa-
tor. Partly because of the eleva-
ton, and partly because the Western
mountains intercept the rays of the
setting sun and so cause darkness to
follow daylight with greater rapidity
than at any other spot on earth.
