prices OF wheat and cotton. Real
scarcity of either would affect all bust

hope that facts Of injury are greatly

some evidence during the week that
both the great crops have suffered more

are almost all favorable and highly en-

less threatening. Monetary conditions

WIPE THE SCOUNDRELS OUT.

The good people of Oklahoma have
had enough of the Daltons, the Cooks,
ct. al. and the public opinion in that
fair young territory, supplemented by
that of Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas
and Texas should be rendered so pro-
nounced as to constrain the general
government into wiping out state Of
affairs that have become a shame and
scandal. The people of Oklahoma are
in more danger and as defenseleSS as
though they lived on the borders of a
hostile and barbarous nation. They
are tied helpleSsly to 4 nation within
a nation and that nation practically
without government, or at best such 4

species of crime is protected. The
entire west, as well as Oklahoma. is
tired of all this gush about full
bloods," ''squaw-men," treaty rights
and the like. The Indian Territory is
filled with breech-clouted savages, half
civilized brutes and crosses between
the two, all dominated by an organized
guild Of white men, which organization
includes the red-handed bands who
make murder and robbery a profess
sion. Under the existing state of af-
fairs pursuit, capture~and punishment
are well nigh impossible. SO secure
are these devils in their desperate
work that an air of romance is thrown
about their Internal and worthless

SnIeudid Scenery.

Words can not do justice 70 the
wondrous charm of New South Wales
scenery, which, in many places, COM
bines the grandly romantic with syl-
van beauty in a fashion which would
delight the eye of an artist in search
of the picturesque. In the writings of
visitors who have not had time to be-
come acquainted with the real at
fractions of the Australian landscape,
we frequently find illusions to the
brown, dried-up appearance Of the
country, the absence Of heritage and
the want of variety in the foliage OF
the forest; but there are periods when
the same may be said of English seem

the year. save on the great plains OF
the interior, the grass is as bright and
green as in an English park, while the
rich profusion OF native flowers, of
every size and hue, testihes to the
luxuriant character Of the sell. A

ATHLETICS AND THE MIND.
From the British Medical Journal.


IN Eng land we are apt TO take the
necessity for sports in some form for
granted, but in America the subject of
athletics is discussed with serious
ness which hardly obtains in this coun-
try. DR.. Conant, of Boston, in very
suggestive article in the Boston Medical
and Surgical Journal. pleads earnestly
for the general acceptance of athletics,
not as mere sport or pastime, but as
part of the system of education which
the universities supply. There can be
no question that while the ''sit-still-
system Of education has done much
harm to children, free muscular activi-
ty has been conducive.to brain develop
ment, partly, probably, by supplying
it with more healthy blood. but partly,
also, by the cerebral activity involved,
the muscle and the nerve being, in
fact, but two parts of Que machine.
Much as one might imagine that
ACCOMPLISHMENTS exercises
could be arranged to give the exercise
required, the gymnasium does not
seem a popular place; nor does DR..
Conant seem to think much OF it as a
means of education. As usually ar
ranged it is under cover, and so lacks
that great essential-fresh air; and it
lacks the stimulating influence Of out
door sports. and especially of games.
Nevertheless gymnastics, although not
the most useful form Of exercise, are
of great advantage as training for .
crew or team.
If, however. says DR.. Conant, there is
to be any attempt at regular and sys-
tematic development, not only of the
body but OF the mental faculties as
well. one must have, in order to get the
highest good from such training, GER
tain amount OF stimulus in the work 20

Speaking OF football he says that there
is a considerable risk of injury in the
game. especially to men who have not
been carefully trained in the sport at
school What is wanted is some con-
slant and careful supervision over the
players, so that they shall be in q con-
dition both OF physical and mental

liable to injury. There seems no doubt
that rowing is one of the best means
of developing man in an al-round
way; but both in regard to it and
track" athletics much of the benefit
arises from the individual training or
coaching" given to each man.
We come round, then, to the old point
that athletics should be looked on as
part of the education of that insepara.
BILE neuro-muscular arrangement Of
which man is principally made up, and
to the activity of which all expression
of either intellect or emotion is due.
In considering the further bearing Of
this question the influence which an
athletic training has upon a man after
he has left college must not be los.
sight of. Many a man feels that his
success in after life is largely due to
the excellent condition of his mind and
body brought about by the athletics
which he practiced when in college.
This athletic training never entirely
leaves him in after life, and although
he may be much occupied in other
ways, he still finds opportunity for in
dulging in some form of athletic work
which keeps him physically healthy
man and mentally a bright one.
