 If there can be a fighting trust in every large boxing center it will be a great benefit to the bantams, light weights and for few quick. agile and fairly good heavyweights.

ANECDOTES OF lNGERsoLL.
vn Perkins Gives some Amusing ReminiSceneeS of the Great
 ATnOStic.


 When I was writing my kings of Platform and Pulpit" Robert mgersoll kindly sent me what he called his greatest lecture, Liberty of Man, Woman and Child,' with many other of his most brilliant sketches.
 ''In using my speeches" he wrote, do not use any assault I have thought lessly made on Christ, which foolish ly made in my early life With Renen, 1 believe Christ was the one perfect man. ,Do-unto-ethers' is the perfec- ton of religion and morality. It is the summum bonum. It was 1oftier than the teachings of Socrates, Plato, Mohammed, Moses or Confucius. 1t superseded the Commandments that Moses claimed to have gotten from God, for with Christ's do-unto-others there could be no murder, lying, covetous- ness or war. It superseded Greek pa- triotism, Roman fortitude, or Anglo- Saxon bravery, for with do-unto-oth- CTS, bravery and patriotism would not be needed
 Mr.Ingersoll's arguments were of the reduetio ad absurdum kind. One day in talk on the cars with Talmage he said:
 ''Fhen you would like to have place, Brother Talmage, where everyone had to be good by law2"
 Certainly" said Talmage
 You would like to live where every. one had to go to church regularly every Sunday?"
 'Yes, that would suit me-
 Where no man could get drink, and swearing was not permitted?"
 .4es; that's the place for me"
 And where every man would have to keep regular hours?"
 ''That would be Heaven on earth, '' said Talmage, smiling and striking his knee with his open palm.
 Well" said Bob, looking over his glasses, you'd better goupto Sing Sing, That's the way they do there"
 Beecher was very fond of Bob Inger, soil. Ingersors republicanism, anti slaveryism and patriotic love for Grant and his soldiers won Beecher. This is why he introduced him to his Plymouth church audience. Still, Beecher was always joking with the great agnos. | tie.
 One day asked the great divine if he really liked Ingersoll.
 T can't help it, he said. "I love al my fellow men," and then he added with humorous solemnity: And l say now. when Robert Ingersoll dies whether he goes to Heaven or hell, l. I wish him joy!'
 It is an old story that I have told many times, but the death of the loved agnostic makes it new again.
 When Ingersoll was thrilling audi. enees with his great lecture on Rob ert Burns" Beecher went to hear him in Chicago. At the Palmer house l asked him how he liked it.
 ''It was wonderful entertainment, ' said Beecher. He held his audience every minute. He is a great genius, and I should like to write his epitaph.' ''
 What would you write2" l asked
 Oh said Beecher, as he rubbed his two front fingers on his thoughtful brow, .it would be a short epitaph. It would simply be:

TREATING IN HAITI.
When Upon Conviyiality Bent the Natives Are Not to Be OutdOne
 In Courtesy.

Of course there is in Hayti small circle of native-born ereoles who are naturally born ladies and gentlemen, exquisite in their courtly manners and most desirable as friends. Then the white men who are living there are characters. If they take liking to you all they have or can capture is yours. The following will illustrate this char acteristic;
 Mine host and a friend were walk ing through the leading thoroughfare of one of the towns, when the friend suddenly came to a standstill, and, placing his long, nervous index finger on mine hosts breast, remarked:
 My dear boy, in here they make the best cocktails in Hayti. have spent three fortunes in assuring myself Of the truth of this. Let's go in and try one"
 There was a prompt adjournment from the pathwalk to the interior of the building, a few minutes of delight ful, expectant silence as the ingredients were shaken together, a mutual bow, followed by disappearance of the liquids.
 Friend-How do you like that?
 Mine Host-Delicious!

HEALTHY BODIES.
How Girls May Develop Thet Muscles and Brains at the
 Same Time.

A prominent physician, in q recent lecture on physical education in girls schools, said that the evolution of the race has imposed extra brain service upon woman, as well as a new physical strain, and that the body should be edu- cated to meet this. He said that one of the best exercises for girls was to make six deep breathings and aspirations each morning before dressing, and that there should also be half an hours athletic exercise daily. This would ex- pand the chest and increase the area of breathing space, as well as improve the figure.
 Well-poised shoulders and an erect carriage go far toward making a girl look pretty. Many a comparatively plain girl creates much more pleasing impression by these means than do some others who are better endowed as to face. Very often a bad carriage comes of pure laziness. It is ''too much trouble" to sit up straight, and it is "such rest" to stand on one leg, with the other bent and curved into all sorts of unnatural positions. Girls who in dulge in these positions, all of which are bad for the health, as well as an tagonistic to beauty, should learn swim ming, fencing and dancing. All are valuable, fencing more than the other two. Housework is also 10 be recom- mended as eticacious, and the least ex- pensive of all remedies. Vigorous eX- ercise with a duster and a broom is excellent in its way, and little digging in the garden is better still.-Woman' $ Home Companion.

 Politics and pugilism can scarcely be separated. Were it not for the com binations worked by politicians, there would be little patronage for high-elass sparring exhibitions, or even prize fights if the naked sense of the term, hence the men who train their bodies to stand the rough knocks of the ring would be deprived of a means of mak- ling a livelihood.
