The second Of the series Of three
talks on Physical Culture" by Rev.
Isaac ]. Lansing of the Green Ridge
Presbyterian church was given last
night The first of the series, which
is under the auspices of the Ladies'
Aid society, was given on Oct. IL.
DIR. Lansing spoke last night before
his audience in the chapel of the Green
Ridge Presbyterian church. His talk
was begun at about sos and lasted q,
little over an hour.
The speaker spoke principally CT
gymnasiums and other accessories to
physical culture. He praised the prac-
tices of calesthenlcs. boating and
canoeing and especially pedestrianism
as model exercises and spoke emphat-
ically Of the fact that a healthy mind
depends largely on healthy body, and
expressed his belief in "the perfection
OF manhood for the benefit of man.
kind"
He also spoke Of the great relation
existing between physical power and
moral sense as exemplified strongly in
the case of fretful children.
ABOUT GYMNAsIUMs.
In regard to gymnasiums the doctor
expressed his belief that they are over
rated. He declared that as a rule they
are in the charge of athletes who strive
to bring about simply "athleticism."
He mentioned in connection with
gymnastic work. the fact that in Sar-
gents famous gymnasium at Cam
bridge. the young girls taking the drills
frequently had wrists and ankles
strained and their joints injured from
the practice.
In regard to the Delsartean system
OF LIBERALIZATION he remarked that the
chief trouble with 1t was the fact, that
once deVitalized 1t was hard work for
a man to put himself together again.
The speaker remarked that ones
ann should be to accomplish the max
imum Of lost power"
ar. Lansing mentioned the fact that
there are several important accessories
to physical culture. Foremost among
those are food and clothes.
He emphasized the fact that dress
is made for the person and not the
person for the dress" He sorrowful-
ly deplored the fact that in this en-
lightened century many men and wo-
men think differently, especially wo-
men.
This is great and blasphemous mis-
take and one of the most injurious
that can well be made.
SHOULD THEY BE CONSULTED.
The speaker forcibly asked whether
1.-THE leading Psychologists and doctors
of the country should be consulted,
or the milliners and dressmakers ?"
The chief object to dress should be
to afford free and easy motion.
In regard to food, one cannot be too
careful. The tissues of the body are
made of what we eat and on them de-
pends the strength of the body.
All work should also be done in
restful and glad manner and physical
culture should be cultivated in a spirit
of joy and happiness.
The reverend gentleman brought his
talk to a close by mentioning that at
the next and final one he will illus
trate various health movements and
go through and explain different exer-

In Jersey Cattle Interests.

We note that The Jersey Bulletin, start
ed sixteen years ago as bi-monthly publ
cation of sixteen pages, came out on August
Esd with double that number or 80 pages Of
strictly Jersey cattle and high class dairy
reading matter and advertisements.
The Jersey Bulletin is, and has been for
a decade, weekly paper. and its growth be-
tokens the healthy evolution of the Jersey
cattle business as well as the untiring appi-
cation of its editor to the interest 1t repre-
sents.
After following the Jersey COW through
all the stages of her growth In popularity;
after aiding in her emancipation from the
small and unenviable field she occupied 80
years ago as "the gentleman's cows" after
spreading the truth about her richness In the
milk pail and churn: after following. we
say (for The Jersey Bulletin did most of
the pushing,) oil her steps toward her prop
er and well earned position as queen Of the
dairy, the title DAIRY Farming" was added
to The Jersey Bulletin. The Jersey COW
had taken the dairy world "by Storm" as
1t were, and no appellation could have
been more consistently added.
The Jersey Bulletin is edited by Mr.. ID.

Still More Counterfeiting.

The Secret Service has unearthed another
band of counterfeiters and secured large
quantity of bogus bills, which are so cleverly
executed that the average person would
never suspect them of being spurious.
Things of great value are always selected by
cOuDterfeiters for imitation, notably the cele-
brated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
has many imitat0rs but no equals for indi.
gestion, dyspepsia, constipation, nervous.

things right In the stomach, and when the
stomach is In good order 1t makes good

ity, and restore vigor to the weak and de-
bliated. Beware of c0unterfeits when

such cases, the marginal value OF pro
duction is reduced for any cause, the
former marginal producer may be un'
able to divert his capital to any other
industry If so, he will be obliged to
choose between an immediate total loss
or a diminishing or even negative rate
of interest. This suggests an advantage
which an establishment controlling a
large aggregate of capital inevitably
possesses over competitor of seriously
inferior financial strength. The for
mer may temporarily depress prices
until the resources of the rival are ex-
hausted, and this course may be pur-
sued so far as to establish for time a
practical monopoly. There is no in
centive for the creation of new estab-
lishment which will have to submit to
competition upon such terms, and this
differential in favor of the old establish
ment is therefore a barrier to the in
vestment of new capital, possibly to the
utilization of improved machinery, or
the Inauguration of more economical
methods, or more efficient organization.
The effect of the introduction of ma
chinery in this connection is apparent.
1t is also evident that it has reduced the
remaining class, the only one in which
competition can be permanent and
beneficial, to a few industries, of which
agriculture is the most prominent ex-
anple at the present time.
Capitalistic ordinations are, there
fore, performing a useful public service
though there remains an inquiry as to
the distribution of the beneficial results.
Such combinations should tend to de-
crease prices to consumers to increase
the demand for raw material and there.
for the price, to augment wages and
ameliorate the condition of employees,
and there is some evidence that they
have done so. 1t is clear that while
they tend to the Capitalization of in
dustrial control, they tend also to the
diffusion of industrial ownership. The
latter tendency would be more notable,
were it not for the popular attacks up
on these combinations and the danger
of adverse legislation.
The process of industrial develop
ment involves continuous readjustment
and Encouragement. Capitalistic COM
binations have naturally tended to ex-
pedite the necessary changes. The
temporary evil results have therefore
been more acute in their consequences,
though they are doubtless sooner over
than they would be under a similar
competitive system.
1t should be remembered that these
combinations are in the form of bust
ness corporations and that this insttu-
ton is the creature of legislation AS
such it is proper subject of statistical
investigation and should be subjected
to the utmost publicity that Is consis-
tent with the orderly transaction of
legitimate business. At present it is
impossible to say much more than this,
except that investigation should precede
action and that legislation should never
be based upon unconsidered generaliza-
tiSns which may hinder much that is
good in order to destroy evils for which
there is much simpler remedy. 1t is
reasonable to hope that society may
find a way to enjoy the most economi-
cal productive methods and at the same
time to have satisfactory and equitable
of the products of industry.
