In the memorial building of the Young
Women Christian association in Brook
Ign is q gymnasium which was opened
last season. 1t has been constructed to
meet the needs of young women who
can give only the evening hours to ath,
letio exercise and pay only nominal
sum. In addition to the gymnasium
hall, with its visitors gallery and ele.
waited running track, are dressing rooms,
bathrooms and needle baths. For the
modest sum Of cents any woman,
whether Il member or not Of the gymna-
sium, can have a bath. The work in
the gym comprises three gr31es-Calis.
thenic, gymnastio and corrective. Cor
sets and close fitting waists are prohib'
rted in all grades of work. Among the
women well known in Brooklyn society
who are generous supporters of the as
goeiation are Mrs. Samuel B. Duryea
Mrs. CLARK Burnham, Mrs. G. 81. Prem

One Of the prettiest of gymnastio ex.
eroises-a new one-is that in which
the line Of girls moves in an elaboratc
arabesque or scroll, winding around in
concentrie circles and then unwindins
to form long line moving down the
length of the room in skillfully plan
ned curves. The music grows sloweT
and slower until the line finally comes to
a standstill, when the girls take their
places fol other exercises. brooklyn

EARLY LIFE OF PAUL JONES.
He Came to America to Inherit an Estat
In yicriril.

There is no record of his having at.
tended any school except that of the
parish of Kirkbean, but he developed a
truly Scotch passion for reading and
writing. He went to sea when - wears
old and made two voyages during bis
minority in a SLAYER, but batting the
traffic he left it and the ship too. At 20
he was in command of a fine brigantine.
About this time occurred what he calls,
in letter to Robert Morris, "a great
misfortune" adding, Il am under no
concern whatever that this or any other
circumstance of my past life will sink
me in your opinion. The trouble was
threatened criminal prosecution for
having had q carpenter fOggedi which
was the usual mode of punishment in
those days. The matter was investigat-
ed, and Paul Jones was fully acquitted
1t is worthy of remark that the mag
istrate who inquired into that matter
notes that Paul Jones expressed great
sorrow for having had the man logged,
although the charge of cruelty was fully
disprovod. He returned to Scotland once
after this, and although affectionately
received by his own family his friends
and neighbors seem to have treated him
coldly. The smart from this injustice
turned the Indifference he felt for his
native land into hatred, and ever after
he considered himself quite free from
any responsibility for having been born
and having spent the first 10 years of
his life in SO inhospitable a country.
In his twenty seventh year a great |
and fortunate change occurred to him
His brother William, who had emigrat- |
ed to Virginia and died there, left him
an estate. There is no doubt that Paul |
Jones was often afterward in want Of !
ready money, but it must be remem-
bered that everybody was in want of
ready money in the eighteenth century
Certain it is, from his papers preserved
at Washington, that he might be consid.
cred at the beginning of the war a man
of independent fortune.
The two years of his life in Virginia
are obscure, as might be expected from
a man living the life of a provincial
country gentleman, which the records
him prove. At the outbreak
Of war with the mother country Paul
Jones fastened to Philadelphia, ana
through MIR. Joseph Hewes, a member |
Of congress from North Carolina, got
his commission as senior first lieutenant
in the infant navy of the colonies 1t
was then be made the acquaintance of
Robert Morris, to whom he felt a pas
sionate gratitude and affection, and
whom ne named as sole executor in his
will, Mr. Hewes being then dead. -

zHE FIRST STRIKE ON RECORD.
It Occurred In Rome and Took Place IL
the Year 800 Is. @.

the Year 800 3. @.
Livy, in his famous book, 1.-The An.
nails, +" 9, 80, relates in the following
suggestive words the story Of singular
strike which occurred in Rome in the
year 800 r c. and was probably the
first strike ever known:
That year occurred an event little
worthy of being related, and which ]
would pass in silence had it not appeared
as involving religion. The flute players
dissatisfied because the latest censors
had forbidden them to take part in the
banquet in Jupiter's temple, according
to the ancient custom, withdrew, every
one of them, to Thur, SO that nobody
was left at Rome to play during the sac
rifces. This incident shocked the reli-
gious sentiment of the senate, and the
senators sent messengers to invite the in.
habitants Of Thur to make every effort
In order that the players should be re-
stored to the Romans. The Tiburtines,
having promised not to neglect any
thing necessary for that purpose, caused
the flute players to come to the place
where the senate met and exhorted them
to go back TO Rome. Seeing that they
could not prevail upon them to do SO.
they employed strategem in keeping
with their character.
On day of festival, under prete6t
that music would increase the JOY of the
feast, every citizen invited the futs
players individually to his house, and
wine, of which people of that profession
are usually fond, was given to them in
such quantities that they fell into
deep sleep. They were then thrown into
wagons and transported to Rome. They
only became aware of VIII had hap.
pened on the day after, when dawn
surprised them lying on the carts,
which had been left in the forum. a
large crowd had assembled, and they
were induced to promise that they would
remain at Rome. The right of attend.
ing the banquets was restored to thass
ante players. New York TShUna

THERE is in prospect an immedi-
ate era of torpedo boat construc-
ton. The problems of increasing
the speed and improving the
armor of cruisers will be dropped
temporarily. The action of the
japanese at Wai-hai-wei seems to
show that if a torpedo strikes an
iron-clad, down goes the iron-clad.
Torpedo boats, being smaller, can
maneuver quicker. During a
naval battle, when all is smoke, it
looks, therefore, as though the
iron. clads on both sides would be
sunk by the torpedo boats. If
submarine torpedo boats are rend-
cred possible, this probability
would be greatly increased. All
this points to the possibility of a
fresh revolution in naval warfare,
which would make huge armored
ships no better than baskets in
which too many eggs have been
put.

ETIQUETTE.
The Latitude Allowed In the Gamut Of
Social Invitations.


The Latitude Allowed In the Gamut OF
Social Invitations.
1t might DO supposed that no doubt
could exist on this head, and that in
each case the invitation card conveyed
the necessary intimation. Not so. Much
experience of social functions, large and
small, is needed to enable an arrival to
be thoroughly well timed-neither a
moment too soon nor too late. To arrive,
say, little before or even precisely at
"quarter TO O'clock" the hour
named on dinner invitation card, has
quite provincial air on the face of it
and is embarrassing to both hostess and
guest. 1t was not intended that the
hour should be taken literally on the
stroke of the clock On the contrary, it
was meant that quarter of an hours
grace should be given to insure punctu-
atty.
Occasional diners out, fearful of being
too late or a little late, have knack of
arriving painfully carly, before either
host or hostess has descended to the
drawing room. The host and hostess are
ruffled at not being found at their post
and the guests full of apologies for hay
ing called them to it. There is no time in
the day when few minutes one way OF
the other possess more significance than
those that precede the dinner hour, and
so thoroughly is this understood by So
ciety that no one wishes for an enforced
tote-a-tete with q host or hostess by be-
ing overpunctual and arriving before
the orthodox quarter of an hour has be-
gun its course
This rule in the matter of arriving
does not apply in the same way to invi-
tations to balls and dances. The hour
named on the card is the one at which
a hostess would be most pleased to vel,
come her guests, but they, on the con-
trary, prefer to make more distingue
entree some half to three-quarters of an
hour later, when the rooms are compare
lively well filled.
To arrive at an afternoon lat home"
punctually at the hour named ON the
cards would not surprise hostess, but
it would be questionable and discon.
certing to those who thus arrived.
The obligation to arrive within five
minutes of the hour named when an in
vitation to luncheon is concerned is i'm
perative. No latitude is implied in this
case, and punotuality is a compliment
and q necessity. Oh the ground that the
time allowed for luncheon is brief, 1t is
not customary to wait for luncheon
guests, and 1880 or 2 o'clock signifies
that the guests will sit down to luncheon
without moments delay. Again, the
hour named in an invitation to be pres
ent at wedding ceremony must be
taken literally, and if $3.50 p. IN. is
stated $3.50 p. nj. is actually intended.
and here also the arrival should be be.
fore the hour, not after it, say within
10 to 8 minutes. to allow time for find,
ing seats before the ceremony com
mences.
