of physical culture in every shape and

my well-known ideal-the permanent rails

the regular features of the magazine will
be my articles dealing with the theory and
practice of physical culture, treated ex-

too technical. however, but so as to be
clearly understood by the person who
knows least of physiology and anatomy.
The articles. indeed, will form a complete

all over the United States are dying to
hear the names of the men who are con-
spicuous for bravery in Skaters army
But as a matter of fact nobody with
the army is particularly conspicuous for
bravery. The bravery of an individual
here is not a quality which causes him
to be pointed out by his admiring fell

general mass. Now, cowardice-that
would make man conspicuous. He
would then be pointed out often enough

there was foul play in the loss of the

foul play at the hands Of thee rev.

me, as met him on the wharf: I have
