Proper Development Of School Training
by Exercises.
IN the training Of the child he is not
to be regarded as little man, but as
an epitome Of the race. His mental at,
tributes are, life expressed in con-
seriousness, affection, will, and intel
lect; and as these attributes have de-
veloped in the order of their evolution
through the damages of the childhood
of the race. so they develop in the
child There is first life, shown. in ac-
tivity; then the instincts of emotion
are developed; then the power o.
choice, G. decision; and finally the rea,
soning powers. The history of the
arts show the same order Of evolution
The first period was that Of life, the
whole; the next step was attraction
the striving after effect through the
parts of the whole; then the will exer-
cised the power of selection, and show
ed the use Of the parts to the whole;
and, finally, the intellect perceived the
relation Of the parts to one another.
and the suggestive period was reached.
Physical culture must be based upon
these natural laws of evolution. Hence
the exercises of each lesson are divided
into four parts, which expresses the
four attributes Of the mind, and CORE
spord to the four periods OF develop
ment in art. The first part, which cor
responds to the colossal period in art.
is exercise Of whole body; it includes
position and posing. The second, which
corresponds to the effective period, is
exercise Of the parts; it includes move
ments for the feet and legs, hands and
arms, trunk and neck. The third, which
corresponds to the realistic period, Is
exercise of the parts with special ref
erence to their effect upon the whole;
It includes reaching, respiratory, and
arm swinging movements. The fourth,
which corresponds to the suggestive
period, is the exercise of the parts with
reference to their effect upon one an
other; it includes floating movements.
This arrangement follows also the
well-known law that all exercise must
proceed from gentle to strong, and
from strong back to less vigorous

SAYS A JAPANESE DIPLOMAT.
This Man Says That the Fall Of the
Manchoo Dynasty Would BE Followed
by General Uprising-News from the
Seat OF War. u' .. (.

Washington, Sept. IA japanese
diplomat declares Japan has not
agreed to Russias attitude toward
China. He insists that the Manchoo
dynasty should be sustained. Its
downfall. he said. would be followed
by general uprising. The official
Journal de st. Petersburg reiterates
the statement that Russia's only desire
Is to end the disturbances in China
as speedily as possible. The dowager
empress is said to be carrying on her
antiforeign policy with increased
zeal. showing no indications of a de-
sire to negotiate with the powers for
re-establshing peace. The Chinese
minister in London has sent to Lord
Salisbury powerful memorial, urging
him to consent to the Russian propo-
sal to withdraw the allied forces from
Pekin. A dispatch from Pekin says
the allied troops marched into the
Forbidden City on Aug. Is.
Within the last twenty-four hours
the United States government has re-
ceived from it's representatives at for
eign capitals much material informa-
ton in regard to the attitude of the
powers on the Russian proposal to
evacuate Pekin. These give the gen.
eral nature of the responses made to
Russia by certain of the powers.
1t is stated authoritatively that if
there was at any time prospect of a
serious international clash this has
been very largely if not entirely re-
moved by the harmonious character
Of the communications the several
governments are making. The exact
nature of the responses is not made
public by the State Department, for
there are yet some replies to be trans
mitted and until all of them are in the
negotiations are considered in such an
incomplete form that they will not be
made public.
1t is said, however. that the an
.swers 60 much beyond the tentative
character OF those heretofore referred
to, and are Of a conclusive nature. so
far as showing the purposes of the
governments, although they may not
he regarded as conclusive in accept
ing or rejecting the particular PROPOSE
ton advanced by Russia.
The responses are understood to be
rather long and somewhat argumenta-
7 tive. similar in this respect to the
American response This very fact is
cause for congratulation among Of
ficials, as they point out that there is
no disposition TO treat the proposal
with terseness or in any manner to
give offense, but rather to bring the
powers together on a common basis.
On the whole, the general tendency of
the responses is such as to give en-
tire satisfaction here as to the course
of the negotiations.

1t Is Believed Health Authorities Can
Hold the Plague In Check.
Glasgow, Sept. 7.-Though the bu-
bonic plague has entered the city no
one feels alarmed and the situation
since the first outbreak is unchanged.
There are fourteen certified cases in
hospital and Ill under inspection. The
health officers are extremely viglant
and there is little likelihood that the
epidemic will spread much farther.
Thus far the shipping has been COM
paratively unaffected by the outbreak.
Two continental ports have closed
their gates against vessels from G as
gov, but the American ports, whether
north or south, are not expected to
take any action with the exception Of
strictly fumigating vessels and using
stringent precautions whenever the
sickness may be discovered.
All the Clyde ports will be closed
soon, but the embargo is not likely to
last any length of time. The citizens
are taking matters calmly and trust
the authorities to prevent the spread
of the disease.
How the infection reached these
shores Is still unknown. Medical opin-
ion is divided as to whether rats or
sailors brought it ashore. All the Of
ficials, doctors and nurses who are in
contact with the patients have been
inoculated with bubonic serum from
the Pasteur institute.

Denver, COL, Sept. Mrs. Lillian
Bell. the victim of a mysterious as
sault and robbery, died today in Den

night of Aug. Is while near her home
in the best part of Denver. Her as
sailant stepped from the shadow and
struck her a terrific blow on the tenn
pie. She fell unconscious, but soon
regained her senses. AS his victim lay
helpless and bleeding the robber told
her he was mistaken in the person or
he would not have struck her. How
ever, he took her purse and searched
her clothing. Mrs. Bell could give no
description of the man and the police
have thus far obtained no clew to the
mystery.

ARTHUR's POKER GAME.

While President ID In Louisvllle HI
Courts Flcklo Fortune.
The marriage OF Chester Alan Ar
thur son of the late President Arthur.
to Mrs. Andrews, at Vevey, recalls an
interesting affair in which his father
participated while officiating at an exI;
position in this country, and which has
hitherto escaped publication. Aug. /.
1888, Witnessed the opening Of the ex-
position at Louisville. and the central
figure was President Arthur. Upon
his arrival on the soil Of Kentucky the
president was met by the. then COVER
nor Of the state. Luke B. Blackburn.
and in response to speech OF welcome
by him the president made gracious
reply. The train then sped onward
through the state until Louisville was
reached. Here the president was met
by a delegation of prominent men Of
the city, headed by the mayor, Charles
D. Jacob. At night banquet was ten
dered to the distinguished guest at the
Gault house. at which he was called
upon to respond to a toast. At about
II p. nj. the president, accompanied by.
the committee appointed to look after
his comfort while in Louisville, start
ed for the suite Of rooms which had
been set aside for him at the Gault
house, and after a chat Of about halt
an hour with the members of the COM
mittee, which comprised some of tho
prominent men in Louisville's affairs.
excused himself and retired. After
the president had withdrawn one OF
the committee suggested that the party
while away a couple of hours with a
game of poker. No dissenting voice
being raised, the cards and chips were
brought forth and the game was on.
For solid hour or more nothing could
be heard but the clinking of the chips
and the subdued voices Of the players
as the bets were made. When the game
was at it's height, and the eyes and
the ears of the players were so intent
ly fixed upon the cards and the bet
ting as to be totally oblivious to THEM
surroundings, a tall figure clad in a
white night robe appeared from behind
the portieres of a communicating room
and, coming up behind one of the
players, gently tapped him on the
shoulder. To the establishment Of this
player, upon looking up he beheld by
his side the president Of the United
States. The president said he had
been lying in bed since the game be-
gan. listening to the rafting OF the
chips and the betting, which was go.
ing on in the adjoining room. and.
though tired. he could not persuade
himself to go to sleep until he had
taken hand in the game. With one
voice the committee extended an invie
tation to the president to take a seal
at the table and join in the game,
which he did. Louisville today has
the distinction Of having once had
president of the United States while
its guest playing game OF poker with
some of it's leading citizens in his
night robe.-New York Herald.

The Eye of the Serpent.

One of the most curious facts with
reference to snakes is that their eyes
are never closed. Sleeping or walk
ing, alive or dead, they are always
wide open. This is because there are
no eyelids. The eye is protected only
by a strong scale, which forms part
of the epidermic envelope, and is cast
off in a piece with that every time the
reptile mouths. This eyeplate is as
clear and transparent as glass, and al
lows the most perfect vision, while.
at the same time, it is so hard and
tough as to perfectly protect the deli
cate organ within from thorns and
twigs, among which, in flight from
enemies or in pursuit Of prey, the rep
tile so often hurriedly glides, as any
close observer of the habits of snakes
can readily discover.

New Volcano Breaks Forth.

Guadalajara, Mexico, Sept. IA new
volcano has broken forth about thir-
ty miles southeast of the old Colima
volcano. The new volcano made its
appearance suddenly and without
warning. The natives living near the
base of the "fire mountain" as it is
called, were much alarmed at first and
fed their homes, but as prospects of
danger passed they returned. The vol
cano is small and local scientists pre-
dict that it will soon disappear.

Mud Baths.

Mud baths were common among the
ancients, the mud on the seashore and
the slime Of rivers especially priced
for this purpose. The Tartans and
Egyptians still use them in certain dis
eases. They are largely taken at many
places on the continent of Europe,
among which We may mention Dri-
burg, Eilsen, Neundorf, Pyrmont, Spa,
Marienbad, FranzenSbrunn, Eyer, Kis-
sengen and Teplitz. The chief varie-
ties of mud baths appear to be: l.
Mud or slime deposited from mineral
waters, used either for complete i'm
mersion or for poultices. 2. Simple
peat-earth or other eartks. g. Peat
earth impregnated with mineral water.
Mud-baths seem to act as strong
stimulus to the skin, partly from their
heat and partly from increased pres
sure and friction.

CHAPTER VIII.

For Bluebell's chance had come and
had been taken.
When night was beginning to fall
they came to the river again. Blue
bell thought it was still the Tugela
river, but she was not sure. They
had to seek carefully for a drift" by
which to pass over. Bluebell was by
this time so utterly exhausted as to
be hardly able to keep her seat, but
her mind was as fixed on some oppor-
tunity to escape presenting itself as
ever. She was quite prepared to seize

They rode down towards the river,
Moore a little in advance, Bluebell
with her native guide behind her.
Moore did not utter word. but she
guessed that he was rather doubtful
as to the safety of crossing the drift. :"
Her heart beat so hard that it almost
5choked her. What If her chance were
coming now?

the river very cautiously, but evident

Near the men were two grips which

Secretary Hay will not discuss the
report that this government has
threatened Germany with a COM
mercial war, if the meat bill reported
to the Reichstag becomes a law, but
from other sources it is learned that
representa- ions by Ambassador White
to The German government, caused
assurances to be given that the fea-
lures objected to by this government,
will not be in the bill when it becomes
law. No uneasiness is felt in Wash
ington. Germany has more to lose
than we have by tariff war, and will
not be likely to invite one. 1t is be-
lieved that the German Emperor is
merely playing a little game of home
politics in order to get support for
some of his pet schemes, including
large appropriation for the increase of
his navy.
