An Exhibition In brooklyn Last Night to
Show What Might ke Tnught

The Long Island district OF the North Ameri-
can Gymnastic Union is making an effort to
have physical culture introduced in the public
schools Of Brooklyn. At present pupils are
taught calisthenics in the school rooms. but. as
the space is limited, the results are not thought
satisfactory by the union. 1t thinks there
should be a gymnasium in every school. with
teachers to give lessons in physical training
To give an idea Of the work that can be done
with adequate facilities tho union gave an ex-
hib;tion at the Academy of Music last night,
which consisted of exercises and drills by 400
members of the union. big and little. There
were calisthcnics by $50 children ana dumb
bell exercise by little girls. The chief feature
Of the evening. howcver. was the club swinging

followed by fencing bout between men and
other exercises by girls.
In The intervals between the drills and exer-
cises the Aron and Sangerbund singing socie-
ties sang several songs. Mayor Schicren was
among the people present and applauded every
thing vigorously from ono OF the boxes.
The Board OF Education is still OF the opinion
that the results that m light be derived from tho
increased teaching of physical culture do not
warrant the extra expense, at the present time
anyhow.

ROSEBERY AND RACING.

The Prime Minister Is Not Yet Out of His
WrangIe With the Nonconformists.
The nonconfOrmist conscience has
finally succeeded in drawing out Lord
Rosebery Oh the subject of horse races,
or rather race horses, for sharp dis
tinction is made between the two
phrases The premier's clever interpre-
tation of the Puritan figure of Crom-
we'll between himself and his virtuous
critics is accepted as a practically con-
elusive argument in a country which
ranks precedent as higher authority than
principle.
This paramount characteristic of the
English mind is amazingly shown in
the reply to the prime minister S urbane
retort. Instead of defying the historic
example of the lord protector and stick
ing to its guns, the Antigambling So
ciety weakly suggests that if Cromwell
had possessed as much knowledge of the
evils of gambling as is now available
he would have sold his race horses, as
Rosebery is asked to do
The two letters have started the dis
cuSSlOn a1reSh, but the episode has SO
amused the English that the winner of
the Derby has little to fear. 1t is an in
teresting fact that Rosebery's most nu-
merous and enthusiastic defenders are
among his political opponents. The
Liberal party has much more to fear
from the stern virtues of the noncon-
formist conscience
So some organs which support the
prime minister politically take dubi-
Gus view of the incident Enemies like
The Times and The Telegraph chuckle
gleefully over the discontinue of the
critics. They review copiously the his
tory of the great pretender's sporting pro-
clivities and lament any decadence in

Has Joints In His Nose.

A few months since a man who hao
had his nose bitten off in a street nght
applied to the authorities OF the great
West End hospital, London, requesting
them to "graft" the nose OF corpse
upon his face. This they refused to do,
telling him that if he escaped blood
poisoning from the effects OF such an
operation the dead flesh would slough
off, and make the job failure. Final
" they did attempt to affix an amputat-
ed finger to the place where the persist
emf young mans nose had formerly
been. but the severed member had be-
come cold and lifeless before the opera
ton could be finished and the graft
failed to set. -
AS last resort the surgeons suggest
ed that one of the patients own fingers
should be cut off and fashioned into
nasal appendage. But in order that the
finger should not be lost in the event OF
the operation proving unsuccessful, the
patient had his arm incased In plaster,
and for four weeks held his mutilated
finger to his face with hope that it
would "take root and thus furnish a
basis for a new nose. This it finally
did, and when it had become firmly
affixed the finger was amputated and
now hangs above the young mans mus
tache as very respectable looking nose.

flesh carpenters until it no longer resem-

Nervousness is as much fad as

of Buffalo, land the modern soda water
fountain has more to do with the in
crease of the mania than anything else.
In days of old when soda water was first
added to the wares of the druggist it
was devoted entirely to satisfying the
public taste for something cool, sweet
and refreshing. Fruit sirups Of a harm
less character were fizzled up to a prop
er degree of gaseous bubbling, and the
mission of the soda water fountain was
a commendable one.
Nowadays it is devoted to bromos,
nervines and lots of other things that
are made from the deadliest sort of
drugs, while they are hung with signs
inviting people to become their own
physicians by trying some of the count
less nostrums which are alleged to cure
anything from headache to an ingrow-
ing toe nail in an almost inconceivably
small space of time. The tired out indi-
mistakes his WEAKNESS for nervousness
and straightway proceeds to doctor him.

but which, on account of its powerful
properties, braces him up and makes

The natural result follows. He takes
some more of the soda water fountain
stuff whenever he gets tired, and in a
month or so his system is on the road to
general breaking up. Dragging ones

sufferers from nervous attacks would

JERUSALEM'S BOOM.

The Holy City Has Caught the Fever of Mod.
ern Progress-Promising Environment.
The British consul at Jerusalem in
his last report gives some interesting
details respecting the state Of the Holy
City. 1t appears that buildings Of vari-
GUS kinds continue to be erected in the
vicinity, and that the city is far out
growing it's former limits. On the west
ern side houses have increased so rapidly
within the last few years that quite
large suburb has arisen where formerly
there were fields and vineyards. Every
available piece of land is now being
bought up by private persons or by be-
nevolent societies and missions, and al
ready the name of Modern Jerusalem
has been given to this new Quarter.
Last year the first public garden was
completed outside the JafTa gate, and
the trade is generally increasing, espe
cially that in Jaffa oranges, olive wood
work (now an important local industry
and olive oil. The export of colocynth
declined in consequence of 1.-THE levied
on it by the authorities. 1t is gathered
by Arabs in the neighborhood of GAIA,
where it grows wild An interesting en-
terprise which has recently been COM
menced is the collection of the bitumen
which rises to the surface and floats
about ON the Dead sea. Two sailing
boats were taken by train from Jaffa to
Jerusalem and then conveyed in carts
to the Jordan, where they were foated
down the river to the Dead sea, and
they are now engaged in picking up the
bitumen, which is in much request in
Europe.
The consul thinks it would be advan-
tageous to trade with the inland dis
tricts if steam launch and lighters
were placed on the Dead sea to ferry
across the produce of Moab, which is a
country that is rich in cereals, fruit
and cattle. At present it is conveyed by
caravans round the north or south end
of the Dead sea, entailing a journey of
from four to five days. Kerak, the chief
town Of Moab, is now garrisoned with
Ottoman troops, and authority is estab-
| lished there, SO that if rapid communica-
! ton were established the whole produce
of Moab would find it's way to Jerusa-
! lem and the coast Boston Transcript.
