WOMANLY EXERCISE NOT NEW

Susan, countess of Malmesbury
seeks to rid the mind of the fallacy
that outdoor exercise is a special attri-
butte of the women of the present day.
Our mothers and grandmothers, she re-
minds us, could sit horse, WELD a SAL
mon rod or use an oar We know, too.
that Mary Queen of Scots never could
keep her health unless she rode twenty
or thirty miles day. and that the
ladies of her court accompanied her
when she went out walking.
But the women and the men of past
days led, forcedly. lives which were in
the main quieter than ours. locomotion

ing and difficult
Many things which formerly were
done at home by the mistress of the
house and her maid servants now are
accomplished best elsewhere
The doctor and the chemist of today
are more reliable than those of the
past. therefore the mother of the fam
| lily does not find it necessary or even
advisable to concoct medicines for
those about her.
Certainly the principles and practice
of today appear to have created race
of fine outstanding young women, many
of whom leave their homes, where they
have been loved and delicately nur-
tured. to follow their husbands. endur-
ing all manner of hardships without
complaint.
Many of these women, who have
never done hard days work in their
lives, go to the colonies, and what their
hands find to do that they bravely I'M
dertake. The mental training would
be of the wrong sort indeed had it not
taught them the dignity of the neces-
sary labor of woman for those she
loves
Careful diet, cotinues the countess.
and exercise specially adapted to the
needs of each individual are the most
powerful-indeed the only lasting
remedies we possess against the ener-

which the stern necessity of earning
living has imposed on too many of
our sex, and they are remedies which
cannot be replaced by medical treat

Almost every woman might, If she
had the time at her disposal derive ben
eft from the bringing into active use
of some one set of muscles, supposing
that her efforts were directed rightly.
The Swedish system of gymnastics
fully recognizes this fact, and it is
we'll known that there are special
movements which improve the action
of the heart or of the digestive facul-
ties, as the case may be.
The whole secret lies in knowing
what to do, but in not OVERRIDING it.
and in developing side by side the
mental and physical qualities of our
young girls as they are growing up.

GRAY COAT AND BLUE EYES.

Jack Frost has helped me, knew he
would"
Said a squirrel with coat of gray;
He has opened the burrs, the little
nuts furs,
In most astonishing way"
And while he talked a wonderful
breeze
Scattered nuts on every side;
And he said Very soon, perhaps by
noon,
My winters store ! can safely hide"
He worked away, this little Gray Coat,
AS happy as happy could be,
Till he hid for his store quart or
more
In hole at the foot of tree.
He had covered them up with leaves
of brown.
When some children, out nutting too
Came bounding along, with shout and
with song,
Swinging their baskets bright and
new.
And one little Blue Eyes found the
nuts
Little Gray Coat had stored away,
And she took them all, the large and
the small"
| think hear somebody say
All! no she didn't, she left them there,
For my little Blue Eyes was good.
Now, which do you say, out nutting
that day,
Was the happiest one in the wood?

TEACHING TO SHOOT.
Every Rifle, Like Every Marksman
Has individuality.

He is taught that the bullet travels
through the air in curved line, called
the trajectory, and that three forces
act upon it; first, the exploded charge.
tending to drive it forward in a
straight line along the line of fire:
second, the force of gravity; and third
the air resistance. At 200 yards, owing
to these forces the bullet travelling at
the rate of 1000 feet a second. will
have fallen about two feet. In the ex-
element of firing at close quarters the
aim will invariably be too high 1t
has been calculated that when the
enemy approaches within $50 yards the
soldiers will instinCtively fire as much
as two feet or three feet above their
heads
Now it has been found by experiment,
/ that the fact of fixing bayonets will
cause the bullet to drop a distance Of
about two and half feet in $50 yards
and, therefore, when about this dis
lance from the enemy, soldiers are in
structed to fix bayonets. in order to
counteract the excessive elevation of
lhtll aim. ne ltCEull iedInS IUdL the
mean extreme range OF the bullet is
$500 yards. and that the longest shot
ever observed was $3.50 yards He is
taught the penetrating power of his
weapon, subject full of in crest.
To take one or tw) examples ram
med earth gives less protection than
loose; bullets easily find their way
through joints OF walls while a con-
centrated fire of about $50 round at
200 Yards will breach a nine-inch wall.
Only experience can teach a soldier how
much he must aim to the right or left
Of his mark TO counteract the force of
the wind \ side wind has more effect
on the fight of the bullet than wind
blowing directly toward the frer The
soldier must learn the habits OF his
rifle since some shoot higher or lower
than others. Every rifle. like every
Imarksman. has It's own Individuality

SHOCKED BY A PRETTY MODEL.
But the Girl with Blonde Hair is thu
Artists Wife.

A certain studio in the Chicago fine
arts building was the scene of little
comedy the other day that might have
furnished the motive for a Ledgerer
French farce. 1t is a charmingly
artistic affair, with just enough
Bohemianism about it to make one
catch ones breath and wonder what's
coming next.
The elderly woman with the gray
feather boa and steady smile opened
the door without knocking, and walked
resolutely in, with goodly bunch of
charity bazaar tickets in one hand and
flood of persuasive eloquence at her
tongues end. And then she caught
sight of the startling tableau, and stop
| ped short.
The lord and master of the studio
was perched easily on a Turkish in
laid table, cigaret in one hand and
the other perilously near the glossy
blonde hair on an extremely pretty
head that was upturned lovingly to
him.
The elderly woman did not gasp. but
she set her teeth hard and forgot the
charity bazaar over this moral prob
lem. She had heard of those awful
studios. but this was too much No,
she said firmly in response to a polite
query from the artist, she did not de-
sire anything. She would not disturb
him for worlds, and she went out with
a lingering, plying look over her
shoulder at the girl with the blonde
! hair.
| \ few minutes later, when the girl
came out OF the studio, looking quite
swell and dainty in gray broadcloth
and sable, she was accosted by the
elderly woman, gently but firmly, and
told many things, to the effect that she
did not know the folly of her ways
that the pomps and vanities Of this
wicked world were a smart and pitfall
to the unwary. and that the lot of a
model was neither ladylike nor a
righteous path to pursue.
And the girl only blushed and laugh
ed, and looked down at her ungloved
left hand as she said sweetly:
I'm awfully sorry we shocked you
so. We-we've only been married
month. you know
And she was so anxious to help the
ola woman recover herself that she
bought five tickets

be much easier to hire a special dish
washer than to keep oneself in rubber
gloves. There are no real preventivee
for stained hands; but the stains may
be quickly removed. Lemon juice is

In the attempt to clean ribbons or

the ribbons themselves. The way to
wash silk Is to spread it out on clean
board, rub a piece of pure soap upon it,
and then scour it with a hard brush.
After all the spots have been rubbed
out, finish by brushing it with brush
dipped in clear, cold water until all the

A BUNCH OF CHARMS NOW.

The proper wrinkle for the wearer
of charms and barbaric jingles is a
bunch of amulets, and the smart bau-
BILE shops cater to this new fad by
making thirteen diminutive and dainty
toys of gold, silver and crystal, all at
tached to one shor 'hain from which
they can serve as wa.ch for ornament,
chatelaine or bangle adornment, or as
a play toy for the long neck chain.
Each charm is a symbol of some bless
ing or virtue. The tiny amethyst
heart in its rim of gold signifies happi-
ness, the golden flbert long life, the
bit of heather pressed within a fiat
crystal locket lifelong happiness, the
shamrock good luck, etc. A bean, a
sprig of mistletoe. tiny pig of bog
oak. a violet and an anchor are among
these charms.

CHURCH USE OF ELECTRICITY
Newest Appliances in Light and Power
Now Used.

Electricity is put to various uses in
churches; IN no other buildings, in
fact, is it more commonly employed.

New York all new churches are pro-

many old churches, also, have been
similarly equipped. The same is sub
stantially true of all cities and towns
IN which are to be found electric
plants. Some churches have complete
plants of their own on the premises
but the greater number take the cur
rent from the street main.
Besides its use for lighting purposes
electricity is now commonly EMPLOYED

operate the organ bellows. This motor
can be set in motion or stopped by the
organist as he sits in his place at the
keyboard simply by turning a switch,
and, in operation, it accommodates it.

In the newer churches-and such an

which the valves of the organ pipes
are opened. Formerly this was done

1t was then, according to this dele
