WOMEN AS GYMNASTS.
Like the Ballet Girl. They Must Keep
Constantly In Practice.

Like the Ballet Girl. They Must Keep
Constantly In Practice.
1t requires about two years constant
practice before woman can do the routine
acts and their combinations with grace In
tho execution. Like the ballet girl, the
woman gymnast must keep constantly in
practice, for she never realizes how many
muscles and joints and tendons she has
until she begins to resume her work after
holiday and sets them all acting at once.
As rule, women in this profession are q
very healthy and happy lot OF individuals.
They get great many bumps and bruises,
and the tender skin of their hands Is pain
fully burned with the ropes, and they have
to deny themselves something In the line
of indigestible food. You can't hang by
your feet with lump like lead In your
stomach, and no hearty meals may DO eaten
before performance.
The most serious permanent effects seem
to be noticeable i'm the action of the heart,
owing to the nervous strain, and the nerves
of the eyes. 1t isn't exactly natural to
hang by your feet or spin your body round
like wheel, and 1t seems after awhile to
produce nearsightedness and general i'm
perfection OF vision.
The average age of gymnasts Is 90 years,
but 1t Is rare to SEQ woman follow the
profession after she Is 80. They all depend
largely upon the music to inspire them
and aid them In the performance OF any
feat, and directly they hear tho band play
ing to their performance they seem to for
get all fear and to be transformed into
machines operated by the rise and fall and
beat of the notes.
The professional gymnasts find their
most famous prototypes In Lenora Dare,
the Flying Queen" who went into
training when nero child and was cele-
brated for more than 90 years for perform
ing feats no other woman and very few
men would dare attempt, and in Azella,
this first female trapezist who ever appeared
on the bar, the novelty OF whose perform
ance and the grace and suppleness OF
whose slender form aroused unbounded
admiration and called forth q storm Of APP
plause from her audiences and produced
many imitators of her aerial acts, which In
themselves were neither particularly skill.
full nor daring.
Then there was Jennie Price, who was
the first to fly through the air to be caught
by her husband from another swinging
trapeze. This trick always produces great
applause, but 1t only requires nerve and a
complete control Of the muscles OF the
chest.-Pearson' Weekly.

that they will take up the matter at

A RED CROSS KNIGHT.

The crimson glow Of sunlight falls
Along the monumental walls b
Where still In faded pomp are read
The name and virtues Of the dead.
Yet from yon effigy Of knight
Tie craven name has vanished quite.
No word remains, but stories tell
That he who sleeps fought true and well |;
In kindness swift, in vengeance slow,
A constant friend, courteous foe.
Who partly fought for love Of fight,
But chiefly for the love Of right.
To Holy Land he rode away;
Seek thou holy land today.
With sword and battleax he strove;
Seek thou the armory Of love.
He won on earth poor renown:
Win thou on earth loves fadeless crown.
