lineage women are about to build
club house in which the gymnasium
is to be the most important depart
ment- Men have said for a few hum
dred years that women had no real
interest in athletics. The reproach is
dying out for lack of examples. The
club house contemplated by the Chi
cago women is a place of rest, refresh
ment and healthful and scientifically
directed exercise. The women who
conscient;ously take lessons in swim
ming, and exercise with wanis. dumb
bells and Indian clubs, will be better
mothers and wives and enjoy their
own independent and unrelated exis-
tence far more. Nerves and morbid
feelings yield to exercise, especially
when stimulated by intelligent in
struction and friendly rivalry. The
university girls who have taken the
gymnasium course are proofs. if auy
were needed, of the beneficial effects
OF regular exercise. In spite of the
hard study, which used to leave the
girls pale and somewhat blase at the
end of the year. the contemporary uu
dergraduates finish with firm health
and an interest in the current events
OF society and politics not in the least
like the traditional heavy-eyed male
girl student.
Last winter i'm Lincoln many of the
married women discovered the bepe-
nts OF gymnasium practice three
times a week. At the Union club
building Miss Anne Spurck has again
heased the gymnasium for the season
and her classes will be made up i'm Oc-
tober.

1t has been frequently stated by his
torians and writer's on political econ

last because of the natu,, and ~duca-
ton of the French people. The unwiil-
ingness on the part of the French
government, called a republic, to do
belated justice to a man condemned
to solitary confinement on a desert
island by testimony which the accused
was not allowed to examine, reveals
the real tyranny and the nominal
character of the democratic name. The
Dreyfusites claim with justice that
such a government Is an absOlutism

Levi Peck's family were somewhat
mystified last Saturday evening, by hear
ing sundry groans and growls proceeding
from the back part of their house. Mr..
Peck was determined to investigate, and
ascertain whether 1t was some ghostly
visitant from another world or otherwise.
The lower floor was carefully searched,
butnothlng found. They then assembled the
stairs; upon reaching the best bedroom
they found an unbldden guest reclining
on the bed, an old hound, fatigued with
his days hunting. Mr.. Peck led him
gently but firmly down stairs and out of
doors. recommending him to go home.
They wish to be informed next time when
company is coming, intending to stay
over night.
