1.-THE first and most important thing
said Prof. Joyce, els to ascertain the weak
points of a person, and then, by special ex-
ercises, to equalize their physical develop
ment. That DONE the next step is to apply
such a variety of exercises as will develope
the whole muscular system. gradually and
uniformly. Muse uar strength, you know,

while strength is very desirable, I am of
the decided opinion that endurance is in
the long run more valuable than mere
strength. So, to prevent the development
of the muscles at the expense of the ner-
vous system. only light work should be
done at first. Then, another thing to be
avoided is what may be termed the one
sdedness of the mechanical acts of life.
That is, abnormal development of one
side of the body of one particular set of
muscles, so often seen in men and boys who
have done gymnasium work without the
guidance of a competent teacher.
Experience in the Gymnasium.
Now, it is fact, although many people
seem to doubt il, that an inexperienced per-

change. $50 Kansas Avenue.
CHICAGO, Jan. 10-There was an abb
sence of war news this morning and
holders made rush to liquidate assisted
by Brosseau selling short. Cables came
lower, consols higher, and a lack of
outside support The announcement of
additional gold engagements for tomor-
row and heavier Northwest receipts
than expected was also rather dis
couraging to holders. On the
other hand commission houses were
good buyers. late cables strong
with Berlin wheat one mark higher than
opening, bad crop news from Argentina,
and good clearances from the seaboard
was rather encouraging. Chicago re-
ported 1000 bushels wheat taken for
shipment this morning and exporters
had good buying orders from the CONT
nent Several attempts were made to
break the matter still further, but offer
ings were quickly absorbed and the clos
ing was steady at the decline.
Corn and oats experienced a slight de-
cline in sym pathy with wheat on lower
cables Commission houses moderate
buyers of May corn and the market was
quiet but firm and fluctuations within a
narrow range. Oats quiet.
Provisions-Pork opened lower on
large hog receipts and slightly lower
prices at the yards. The market held
firm and closing prices show a slight gain
over the opening. Cudahy was a good
buyer of May pork.
