Necessity of Physical Education.

The manifold physical imperfec-
tions Of the present day--crooked
bodies, hollow chests, stopped shoul-
ders-are awakening people "a the
need OF more perfect bodily de-
velopmenti The prevailing fashions
of the past together with sedeniary
occupations, have had a bad effect
ON the normal development of the
body, rendering physical education
a necessity. We underuse and over
use certain muscles because we do
not understand their respective val
ue. Parents as we'll rs teachers need
% understand that the body IN we'll
as the brain Of the child should re-
ceive attention. II is just as essen
tial that u child should know how
TO strengthen and rightly use his
body as for him to pass in arith-
metic. Natures punishment for
physical sins will be no less severe
because the child is able to locate
Cape Horn or give the number OF
bones in the human body, Theory
should give place TO gymnastics. a
healthy development cannot be ac-
quired in few weeks nor year, but
is only the outcome Of constant
practice.
Mrs. Cape isnow conducting classes
IN this city for vocal and physical
drill, for children, at the nominal
price Of 80 cents per month. Every
child should attend this class. Par

Good Work of Women.


When the erection of the magnifi-
cent new Primitive Methodist church
was determined upon in 1892, the
ladies of the congregation pledged
themselves to raise three thousand
dollars of the necessary funds. On
January lst, 1895, within three years,
paid Last spring, when it was de-
cided to provide new and better
home for the Methodist Episcopal
pastor, the ladies Of that church un-
dertook to pay for the lot on which
it stands. At this date only about
twenty-five dollars of the amount
remains unpaid, and within a year
from the time of beginning the obli-
cation will be fully met.

A Proposed Reform Bill Much Needed

A bill is being prepared for introduce

visions to the Califoria statute known az
the Purity OF Election Law" 1t oper-
ated satisfactorily in the Golden State at
the last election, as it has in several
other States where it has been in opera
ton for u lumber of years. 1t limits
the expenditures of candidates to a GER
tain percentage of the salary or emoln-
ments of the Office he seeks, and re-
quirss them, under severe penalties, to
file a sworn itemized statement of his
election expenditures with a proper Of
fcer within . certain time after the cleo
ton. No elected candidate can receive
his certificate until he has filed such
statement. The Act prsscribes the pur'
pose for which political committees or
candidates may expend money, ample
provision being made for holding public
meetings, printing and circulating polit-
ical literature and all other legitimate
expenses OF a campaign.
The object of the measure is, of course,
to pievent the corrupt and illegitimate
use OF hsney by Of for candidates to i'm
sure their election, and to substitute
merit, integrity and principle for wealth
as the principal factor In political pre-
f~ernient in the State. The measure will
probably be introduced by Asseinblynap
Beck Of Washoe, and will receive the
support of a majority, and pfobably the
entire delegation in both houses from
Washoe county. In fact We cannot
imagine any, valid reason WHICH can be
given in opposition to it. Certainly
there can be no honest objection to its
purpose, and the only argument in that
direction that can be used is tl,r SUPERB
