FOR ANY BOY OF FOURTEEN.

If you can, always play game IN
preference to simply going through
lot OF mocha meal movements. A
game exercises your head, rests your
mind, and helps you immensely.
Whereas. while pulley weights help
YOU, they only help you to
about half the extent that game
does. If finally, you happen to be
near gymnasium, and cannot get
any exercise out of doors, then go to
the gymnasium. Now to particular
ize a little on special work OF boys IN
special employments. Suppose you
are not very strong, and you are so
employed during the day that you
have to sit down all the time. OF
course YOU need exercise OF the kind
that will keep your body moving. l
should advise you, then, to take ten
minutes off just at nightfall. Put on
light garments, say pair OF low
shoes, a pair of drawers cut off at
the knee, and an under-shirt; nothing
more. Then go out into quiet streets,
or into the country roads, and be-
ginning slowly, run halt a mile.
Come in at once, run to bath, and
every soul on earth in civilized cOun-
tries can have a bath if he really
wants one. Then rub yourself down
hard with a towel and dress your
self l say half a mile. Do that
first Soon you will be able to do
FIVE miles if you have time, but
good halfmile run each night of
YOUR life will save many a pain and
ache, many a dollar in doctors bills,
and many a bad fit of the "blues."
Don't be afraid of going out in such
light clOthes-unless you're afraid of
the pOliceman-for l have seen many
a sickly boy run in just such clothes
on cold mid winter nights, with six
inches of snow on the ground and
bad snow-st storm raging. You can
see the steam come out of your body
when you come in. If you sat down
outdoors FIVE minutes you very like
" would never go out again; but
YOU will not do that; you will run
all the time you are out, and as soon
as you have had a bath and are
dressed you are less likely to take
cold than you were before you went
out to exercised Harper's Young
People.

WHEN I WAS 4 BOY.

Up in the attic where L slept
When 1 was boy, little boy.
In through the lattice the moonlight crept,
Brin ging a tide OF dreams that swept
Over the low red tTuudle-bed,
Bathing the tangled curly head,
While moOnbeams played at hide-and-seek
With the dimples on each sun-browned
check
When 1 was boy, little boy!
And oh, the dreams-the dreams dreamed
When 1 was boy, a little boy!
For the grace that through the lattice
streamed
Over my folded eye1ids seemed
To have the gift of prophecy,
And to bring me glimpses OF t1mes-to-be
Where manhood's clarion seemed to call
Ali that was the sweetest dream OF all,
When 1 was boy, a little boy!
/ d like to sleep when / used to sleep
When / was a boy, little boy!
For in at the lattice the moon would peep,
Bringing her tide OF dreams to sweep
The crosses and griefs OF the years away
From the heart that is weary and faint to-
day;
again
The peace 1 have never known since then,
When 1 was boy, a little boy!

AN INDEPENDENT ESTIMATE OF
SENA TOR HILL.

Mr.. Hill is a man of great intel
ligence, whose character depends up
on circumstances. A clever news
paper writer once compared Mr. Hill
with Jay Gould, saying: "Gould's
purpose is the accumulation of
wealth. Hills is the obtaining of
political power. And for twenty-five
years there has been no thought or
action of his lite which has not been
centered in his purpose.
AS tor Senator Hill himself, he has
reached the zenith of his spectacular
and artificial political career. He
has no moral resources. A product
of machine politics, his career may
at any time be closed by the same
artificial forces that have made it
nothing is less secure than machine
built success.
But there is one question OF great
err importance than his political
future-the question of the survival
of the democratic party as political
instrument of utility. Now whether
it be desirable that the democra tic
party should survive as an active
and respectable force, is a matter of
permissible difference OF opinion. But
there can be no difference OF indepen-
dent opinion regarding the certainty
OF its defeat for many a year in con:
tests for control OF the national gov
eminent, If it mistake Senator HIPS
artificial success for craftsmanship;
and in proportion as democratic
orators and newspapers throughout
the country encourage him, or even
tolerate him, do they give evidence of
their party's old-time inhrmity. And
the democratic party has not such a
reputat ton for wisdom that it can
afford to make an unnecessary dis
play of ignorance; nor has it so firm
a grasp on great principles that it
already insecure hold on them.
Least of all can the party afford to
follow the one man in its ranks who
has IN the most spectacular way re-
pudiated its pledges to tariff reform,
whereupOn it won its only victories
within the lifetime of a generation
The tariff-reform tide was the last
tide in national politics. The next
will be tide of municipal reform.
AS Senator Hill is the only demo-
cratic senator who voted against the
partv's single great principle, so he
is the most conspicuous and success
full product of corruption in NUM-
cipal politics. If the cities OF the
state of New York had not been gov
erned corruptly as they have been,
no such career as Mr.. Hills would
have been possible. A small NUM-

THE SEVEN WONDERS OF COREA.

Corea, like the world of the an
clients, has its "seven wonders.
Briefly stated, they are as follows:
First, hot mineral spring near Kin
Shautoa, the healing properties of
which are believed by the people to
be miraculous. No matter what dis
the water proves ethcaclOus.
The second wonder is two springs,
situated at a considerable distance
from each other; in fact, there is the
breadth of the entire peninsula be-
tween them. They have two pecu-
liarities-when one is full, the other
is always empty; and, notwithstand-
ing the fact that they are connected
by a subterranean passage, one is
bitter and the other is pure and
sweet. The third wonder is a cold
wave cave-a cavern from which
a wintry wind perpetually blows.
The force of the wind from the cave
is such that a strong man cannot
stand before it. A forest that can
not be eradicated is the fourth won
der. No matter what injury is done
to the roots of the trees, which are
=
directly, like phoenix from her ashes.
The fifth is the most wonderful of
all. 1t is the famous floating
stone" 1t stands, or seems to stand,
IL front of the palace erected in its
honor. 1t is an irregular cube of
great bulk. 1t appears to be resting
on the ground, free from supports on
all sides, but, strange to say, two
men at opposite sides of rope may
pass it under the stone without en-
cOuntering any obstacle whatever.
The sixth wonder is the ''hot stone"
which from remote ages has lain
glowing with heat on top of a high
hill The seventh and last Corean
wonder is a drop of the sweat of
Buddha. For 80 PAGES around the
temple in which it is enshrined not a
blade of grass will grow. There are
no trees or flowers inside the sacred
square. Even the animals decline to
profane a spot so holy The Out
look.
