A MUSCLE COLLEGE.

An Institution Solely for WOmen's Physi-
cal Culture.
There Is only one idea present in the
minds of the girls who attend Nine.
Osterberg's college at hartford Heath,
England. 1t is that they are there for
the purpose of making themselves, as
nearly as possible, physically perfect
women.
! The college course extends over two
years, and during the whole Of this
period the students lead perfoTce an al
most ideally healthy life. The rule of
early to bed and early to rise" is rig
idly enforced. A diet in which the
place of meat is largely usurped by
green vegetables, fruit, cereals, milk
and eggs, is partaken of by all; and
so far as possible, all studies and ex-
! arcises are performed in the open air.
The head of the school maintains
that to get the best possible results
from a scientific system of physical
/ training the lessons ought to take
place out of doors. To this end she
has had fitted up, in a sort of natural

pupils and professors climb ropes,

TO do under similar circumstances.
Anatomy, physiology hygiene, chemis-
try and medical gymnastics are not
neglected, and the playing of all sorts
Of games forms part of the regular cur
riculum. These later include cricket,

their movements are absolutely free
and untrammeled, and they are able to
leap and run with a swiftness and
agility that would have caused the
typical bread-and-butter miss of a de-
cade or two back to hold her breath in
Mortified amazement. OF course, cor

Miss Holloway of Virginia has plen-
ty of grit. When her horse fell upon
her at the New York show she did not
faint or do any of the things which
might be expected under the circum-
stances. When released she found
that no bones were broken, mounted
again and received an ovation from the
spectators. Nobody can sneer at this
sort of manifestation in the new wo-
man. 1t shows that the old-fashioned
nerves have ceased to be fashionable.

Wonldn't Sell Her Dress.

There is a good story about the Prin-
cess Victoria of Wales and the Ouch
ass of Devonshire's fancy dress ball
about which the smart world raved.
rhe princess was like many other dis
.inguished ladies', approached with re-
spectful inducements to sell the dress
she wore at the ball to the manager Of
theater.
The reply was lovely. The princess
did not, she explained, feel inclined to
sell the dress for two reasons. First
of all, it would make a beautiful tea
gown, and then if she did sell the gown
she would not herself get the money.

DIMINISHING STATURE.
Why the Armies of Europe Maintain n
Minimum Standard of Five Feet.

why the Armies of Europe Maintain a
Minimum Standard of Five Feet.
This relation between stature and
health is brought to concrete express
sion in the armies of Europe through a
rejection of all recruits for service who
fall below a certain minimum standard
of height, generally about five feet.
The result of this is to preclude the
possibility of marriage for all the fully
developed men during their three years
in the barracks, while the understood
individuals, exempted from service on
this account, are left free to propagate
the species meanwhile. Is it not APP
parent that the effect of this artificial
selection is to put a distinct premium
upon inferiority of statue in so far as
future generations are concerned? This
enforced postponement of marriage for
the normal man implies not merely
that the children of normal families are
born later in life-that would not be of
great moment in itself-it means far
more than this. The majority of chill
dren are more often born in the earlier
half of married life, before the age of
35. Hence a postponement of matri-
mony means not only later children,
but fewer children. Herein lies the
great significance of the phenomenon
for us. Standing armies tend in this
respect to overload succeeding genera
lions with inferior types of men.

added their testimony, and in New Bed
ford and Fall River, Mass, as many
more reported cures.
After being humbugged for years, suf-
ferers find complete relief from faithful
trial of these now famous remedies.
Every section of New England is repre-
sented.

She Tames wild Horses.

Miss VaughanLewis Is the hyphena-
ted name of the woman who can boast
that she is the first of her sex to adopt
the profession of horse breaking.
She is the daughter of Welsh cler-
gyman. At sixteen she had reputa-
ton among his parishioners for her
power over vicious and unmanageable
animals. Then her father died and she
was obliged to earn her own living.
She went to Canada and soon had a
number of clients, who kept her busy
breaking their half-wild horses for
them.
| Now she has a farm near San Fran
cisco. She can board twelve horses at a
time. Three men servants and two
women form her retinue. She breaks
! all the horses herself. BY o'clock
every morning she is in the stables.
She tames the most vicious brute and
entirely without whip or spur. Her
wristsare very strong, her patience in
exhaustible and her will indOmitable.
These three qualifications, she says,
are all that are needed to make a wo-
man a success as a horse breaker.
