And that these shoes and gloves are
genuinely boys articles, too, is q fact
not to be doubted. The fashionable

have been heard asking for these things
in shops. Even more incontrovertible

Now, Johnny cannot read or write,
and his knowledge of English is limit
ed, but be is not without education. He
is Kanaka gentleman, who livcs in
Nawiliwidi, Lihue. Kauai, and his
name is really kuolaki, but Johnny Ia
simpler. Johnny used to steal ducks.
His method was to dive under them and
snatch them under water by the legs,
afterward stuffing their 'corposes delic-
ii" into bag he had hidden on shore.
Now he has reformed and earns his liv-
ing sometimes as guide, sometimes as
n lobster catcher. In diving after lob
sters Johnny will swim into caves that
do not show above water at all and stay
there for half IN hour or so, until his
companions are suro he's dead, when
he'll come diving out, plop, showing
all his white toeth in u merry grin.
Johnny will dive for pennies or tipy
silvor coins to any depth. But that Is
done in other parts OF the world.

Established Social Features Advent Of
the Bicycle MISUNDERSTANDING Books
For the Benefit OF wheslnlOn.

Tho war has materially affected tho sale
OF bicycles. A New York dealer says that
no business has been injured more than
the cycle trade by tho uncertain condition
of matters concerning Cuba. 1t has baon
an everyday occurrence for several weeks
for man to come in, look over wheels
and almost reach the point Of buying, and
then defer the purchase "for few days
because he was u momber Of n regiment
and might he called out. 1t Is said that
the snles OF high grade wheels have SUI
fered most during this period of uncer
tainty because of the fact that national
guardsnen usually buy that GLASS of cycles.
The utility Of the wheel in actual warfare
Is as yet problemntic and the wilds of
Cuba may not be suitable field for prao-
tical tosts. That the bicycle is recognized
as an implement of war, however, Is dom
onstrated by she attention given to tho
subject in the United States and Europe.
Tho extending uso of cycles in military
maneuyers has induced tho German mill
tary authorities to put themselves In n
position tn defeat the onslaught of attack
ing Cycle corps In time Of action. 10 this
end they arc training Gugs to distinguish
between German, Austrian and Italian
uniforms from those of French and Rus
sian soldiers, and when their education In
this respect is sufficiently advanced thoy
arc taught TO throw themselves on the
cyclists who wear the uniform of the sup
posed enemy. WhCelmen clad in various
uniforms and SO guarded by pads that they
are protected against bites, ride past or
among the dogs which instantly rush at
men eostumed as Fronohmen or Russians,
and throw them over. If n dog should
mako n mistake and attack representa-
tive of tho triple alliance, hg is severely

Wheeler, who on wednesday was ncnI-
mated to the position of major general
In the volunteer army, reported at army
Headquarters yesterday. He was the
first of the major generals to signify to
Secretary Alger his readiness for active
duty. The president, however, has not
determined finally upon the organi2a-
tinn OF the volunteer army, and in The
absence of any action in this direction
II IL not likely that any designations
will be positively made The preba-
billty however. Is that General Wheeler
and General Fitz Hugh Lee will receive
commands In the section of the country
from which they come. General Wheel
er has not yet determined whether he
will resign his seat as representative
In congress from the state OF Alabama.
This will depend upon the duration OF
the war.
Senator William J. Seweil of New Jer-
5ey, whose appointment as major gem
eral OF volunteers was sent to the sem
ate Wednesday, has been offered the
command of the troops which will BIO
modified in the District of Columbia.
He had a long conference last evening
choice OF command OF the Washington
forces or the New Jersey state militia
Senator sewell has taken the offer UNI
der advisement.
The volunteer army will be divided
into seven corps, and each corps will
be commanded by one of the major gem
erals appointed Wednesday. Major Cen
erals Lee. Wheeler and Graham will
each command corps In the volunteer
army.
1t is expected that the official appoint
ments to command both the corps and
brigades will be made either tonight or
tomorrow. The delay has been caused
by the slowness with which the vol
unteers have been mustered into serv-
Ice. The entire volunteer army will
have been mustered into the United
States service by the end Of the present
week..

Physical Exercise For Women.

DR.. Mary Putnam jacob, in her re-
cent lecture on 1.-THE Problem of Phys
ical Exercise For Women" delivered
before the department. of pedagogy Of
the Brooklyn institute. said; "What
il so political in poetry about the ivory
whiteness of the skin and tho slowness
and lsnguor insisted upon by tho old
poets and novelists is really most I'M
Economically associated with indiges-
ton. 1t is one of the ironios of Life that
women as they stand in literasure aud
romance are not at all the women that
we know. Every living animal requires
a certain amount of exercise tn Keep in
health, the theoretical basis being tho
fact that so large part OF tho animal
body is formed Of muscular tissue,
which unused becomes weak, flabby
and inactive. Public opinion regarding
the necessity of exercise for women has
changed greatly since 100 years ago,
when noted French author said it was
we'll for women to be timid aud coward
ly and little miserable all the timo,
because if they were we'll and strong
they would be apt to DO getting away
from home more than would be good
for them, and they would lose their.
characteristic femininity and charm.
"This idea of the Fronchman is large
ly accountable for tho fallaoies that
still need refutation i'll regard to the
necessity of exercise, For sitting still
is one of the worst things woman can
do. Women require great deal of
movement, activity and change. Be.
cause their muscles are smaller and
naturally weaker than those of men it
does not follow that girls under 25
should not have strong muscles"
