enOeS.

One of the greatest difficulties that
the managers of the great modern
circuses have to contend with is the
dearth of acrobatic equestriennes
Not one girl out of a thousand who
essays the art ever achieves sue
cess, and not one out of hundred of
those who succeed ever attain emf
hence. In all the world there is
probably not more than half dozen
who are considered truly great. At
the head of this little coterie of celeb
rites stands beautiful Blar che Reed
this season under eng agement TO the
great Wallace Shows.
In point of poise, grace, dash and
daring agility her riding simply de
ties all description. Nothing she
does looks difficult nor appears in
deed to require effort. She is secure
and as much at home in her unstable
position on the heaving, bounding
back OF a galloping horse as is a Sc
ciety bell on ball room floor
Her routine of repertoire of feats
and evolutions Is so varied that she
can completely change her act at
every performance for days at a time.
In AL she does there is naught that is
commonplace. She scorns the ordi-
nary and abhors the conventional.
In the vernacular she begins where
the others leave OFF, and ends in an
uuapproachable achievement of aero
battle agility that is at once paradox
lcally unattainable and past belief
unless seen with one 5 own eyes.
She is with the Great Wallace
Shows at Richmond on Tuesday, May

Importance Of writing a good hand IS

many boys who are going through
our public schools and colleges think
they will become professional men
and that respectable penmanship Is
"unprofessional. 1t is true that
most professional men do write
illegibly, but that is no argument in
favor Of bad writing. II they have

tary Laws.
Editor Richmond Palladium.

Editor Richmond Palladium
la a recent article in your paper,
your city health officer spoke OF the
attitude of the Christian Scientists
towards the laws covering contagious
diseases and vaccination. AS he was
entirely misinformed in regard to the
matter | trust you will publish TIE
facts in the case, in order that the
public in general may know the status
of the Christian Science attitude to
ward sanitary law.
Christian Scientists are instructed
from headquarters, in the city of
Boston, to strictly comply with all
the state or city laws in regard to
infectious, contagious or eruptive
diseases, also the laws in regard to
vaccination.
While we understand, and have re-
peatedly proven, that divine thera-
peutics is the most patent remedy
yet revealed to mankind, we deeply
respect the rights of all peoples, sects
and denominations, and are glad to
comply with the laws of our land, not
only in this respect, but in all re
spects.
The proper Specification of the
term Flaw is, rule of action, and
we seek TO obey not only the law of
God, who ordained the rule of acti on
for the whole universe, but the laws
of man also, which in many instances
are based upon and proceed from di-
vine law.
The one law, or rule of action, Gov
ering ethical relations OF all men, is
Christ's law of Whatsoever We
woul d that men should do unto. YOU
do ye even so unto them. and in ful
ffling this command the true Chris
tlan Scientist sustains a lofty respect
for our state laws individually and
considered.
If any Christian Scientist refuses
to obey our laws in any respect, it is
through the instigat;on of his indi
vidual conviction as to right and
wrong, and not in accordance with
the directions from headquarters.
One of the definitions of Christian
Science is that it is the law of God
which heals the sick and sinful,
therefore every moment in the life of
the Christian Scientist and his every
should be under the con
troll of law, either divinely or human
ly expressed.
