Beer Garden. In rheater..

In Germany theaters frequently have
beer gardens annexed. These enjoy a
large patronage. The best record In
this respect is probably held by the
new Royal william theater at Stutt-
CART, which, during the three months
from June 1 to August 81. 1900. had
an average patronage of no fewer than
1.600 persons a day. The quantity OF
beer consumed each day averaged one
quart per head. The papers OF Stutt-
CART are quite elated over the results
and the German press at large is using
the success of the beer garden as an IL
lustration for the argument that there
is still room in the large cities for
more theaters Of this kind.

The fact that we are rearing up a
healthier generation of women than we
did a decade ago is sufficient evidence
that the advocacy of outdoor life. open
air breathing and good sanitary ar
rangements of our homes Is produc-
ing remarkable results. Some people
may not attribute to these causes the
revolution that has been accomplished.
but they are primarily at the bottom
of the whole change. The old-time no.
ton that a woman shaving at her
household duties or working outdoors
should be healthy because she received
abundant exercise, Is not the modern
idea of what makes health. They
sometimes had too much labor exercise
and dragged out their life. Others
worked SO steadily at certain lines of
work that one system Of muscles was
developed at the expense of others.
The resultant effect was not good
health. 1t was rather one-sided devel
opment that sooner or later made room
for lameness and disease which at
tackled the weak parts of the system.
The unfortunate circumstances which
make many a woman toll for her daily
bread do not preclude her from attain
ing health and strength. The weari
ness which they often feel. and which
they wrongly attribute to too much
exercise, is often due to foul air, lack
of variety in exercise and monotony of
work. When shop hours are over, in

The passengers. crew, cargo. fuel
and supplies of this queer aerial train
are to be carried in what appear to
be little open rowboats. two of which
are attached to the gangway under
each balloon cylinder. Between these
boats and from the center OF each bal
loon hangs n long pendulum with
round weight at the bottom This
weight is attached to ropes extending
into each Of the two boats. where the
crew. by pulling the weight back to-
ward the stern or forward toward the
bow. cause the vessel to slant. re-
spectively upward or downward, and
to thus elevate or lower itself as It
travels. The locomotive and each
trailer are provided with this novel
balancing gear. To drive the air crews
of his locomotive Count Zeppelin will
doubtless employ whatever form of
motor proves most satisfactory In the

These insane criminals. accordingly
were allowed the freedom OF the native

these insane were liable at any timo to
commit murder, but the Batchuas

open air is what they require. and next
to this is the development of the mus
cles which are relaxed all day. Find
out what sets of muscles are employed
in the daily work. and then try to
make all the others in the body come
up to the same standard OF develop
ment. 1t is this all round muscular
development that makes person
strong and vigorous. Outdoor games
and recreations come the nearest to-
ward accomplishing this than any 9TH
er form Of exercise, and for that reason
they are counted the best health-pro-
ducers of the age, SURPRISING drugs and
medicines of the apothecary or physi-
clan. Some games, of course, have
their one-sided tendency. and If not
supplemented by others. they may
cause injury in this way. Thus tennis
played to the exclusion Of all other
games strengthens the right arm and
spond. Wheeling gives less exercise
to the chest and arms, but develops the
muscles in the lower half of the body.
The same is true of nearly all other
sports. Now, the true athlete passes
from one form of exercise to another.
He punches the bag for time. vaults
with pole. runs mile. jumps into
the tanks and swims around, tries the
horizontal bar, throws the hammer and
jumps and runs until there is hardly
a muscle in the body left undeveloped.
That in a sense should be the ideal
standard for the woman, who plays
games or takes other forms of recrea-
ton for the health. Let the attention
be confined to no form to the exclusion
OF all others.
