Gymnastics in English schools.

The department Of gymnastics In
London schools is conducted by the
school board on we'll defined lines,
that distinguish clearly between phys
ical training and gymnastic exercises.
Many of the children who enter the
public schools are under-developed
because of the lack Of proper food
and care. and the first movements
are chosen, therefore, with view to
the development of the body. There
is a carefully prepared syllabus, with
graded execises for feet and legs,
arms, shoulders, neck and general bal
ance, rs a beginning When prof.
cheney and ease in these have been
attained. light movable apparatus is
employed, such as wands, hoops, small
dumbbells, skipping ropes and light
Indian clubs.
At a recent exhibition by the girl
students of the gymnastic class of a
technical institute the extreme Of
physical training for women was
shown. The course includes fencing.
dumbells, bar exercises and Indian
clubs and the performance on paral-
lei bars concluded with "living pyra-
mid" q feat rarely performed by girls.
The classes in the institute are held
in the evening, and the young women
who attend them are employed, as
rule, through the day.

manage to slip into the house.
Reaches are among the most trouble
some of the household invaders. They
are hard to exterminate because they
will make their way into a carefully
kept house through the wall from a
neighboring residence where they are
numerous. Prepared exterminators
may be tried. but there is very little
chance Of getting rid Of them unless
g. house Is isolated.
| One OF the most offensive of all
crawling pests is the bejbug. While it
may be dormant during the winter,
the first warm weather arouses it to
activity. Beds should be taken apart
and washed with boiling water. Ben.
zine is death to both reaches and bed
bugs. To apply it take a wide mouthed
bottle and a glass sprayer and squirt
the benzine over the insects or their
suspected lurking places. Nethylated
spirits and diluted carbolic acid may
be used. but with less success. A va
por bath Is excellent to kill insects
that hide so that they can be reachei l
In no other way. The room Is closed
so that no air can get in, and a little
birthstone is burned on a metal dish.
Combustion produces the gas known
as sulphuric dioxide, which is a splen.
did insecticide. A thorough fumigation
OF room by this process will destroy
the eggs of the obnoxious creatures.
Like mosquitoes. bedbugs do not
live entirely on human blood. They
are said to sustain life by partaking
Of the vegetable sap found in soft
wood. The diet Is a spare one, how
ever, and as soon as a human being
appears 1t is dropped for richer
fare. Far better than wooden bed
steads. therefore, are iron ones.
Fleas sometimes get into houses,
lodging in the carpets and attacking
the resident awake and asleep until
life is burden. Persian insect
powder sprinkled literally over car
pets and in beds will serve to stupefy
the pests SO that they may be swept
up with a broom. They should be
dropped into newspaper and burned
out doors, for burning is the only
way to kill f1ea
Sometimes ants get into cupboards
and refrigerators and prove a great
annoyance. Chalk is their antidote.
Take thick, wide piece and draw a
line encircliDg entirely each shelf.
Draw a line on the edge of boxes or
bins where eatables are stored. A
trap to catch them may be made by
wetting a sponge In water sweetened |
with sugar Every morning the sponge |
should be dropped into boiling water |
and rinsed and dried before prepar-
ing for use again. Red pepper scat
tered over shelves or places where the |
ants gather is said to drive them |
away. Powdered alum or borax is an |
antiiote for black ants. The leaves |
Of walnut trees, wintergreen and ivy
are recommended to drive out all |
kinds Of ants.

scavengers and only prey on the re-
fuse that carelessness or untidiness
has left for them to clean up.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
OVER IN ELMER.
Boy Crushed in an Elevator Gig
and is Not Likely to Recover.

Elmer, N. j., Sept. 3.-Two boys,
John Holmes and Walter Shiles, aged
13 years, were playing on an ice house
elevator in front of the ice house be-
longing to Kraemer & Co., near Ell
mer Lake, this afternoon. The slid
ing gig of the elevator was raised and
had been tied by ropes The boys

weighing $50 pounds, came down.
Holmes was pinned down in such
manner that he could not extricate
himself. Assistant Postmaster VIM.
Handle and Isaac Bostwick were in
boat near by and, seeing the accident,
fastened at once to rescue him. They
pried him out with a pole. When
they raised the piece that held him
down the boy was thrown into the
pond. The water was only about two
feet deep there, and he was soon
taken out and given into the care of a
physician. His left leg was broken
near the thigh and his nose crushed
into a shapeless mass 1t is thought
he will recover.
Shiles was not so seriously injured,
but a good-sized chunk of flesh was
torn from one hand and another from

SEED OYSTERS
ARE PLENTIFUL.
Planters Discover a Prolific
Ground Over at Cape Shore.

Bivalve, n. j., Sept. "A number
of planters, who have been trying to
solve the problem of catching the
spawn of oysters in Delaware Bay in
stead of going to the Chesapeake
Bay to buy young oysters, believe
they have found the solution. They
think that what is known as the Cape
Shore, which is exempt to large de-
gree from the prohibitions which pre-
vents the taking of oysters in summer
in other parts of the bay, is propa-
eating ground, which will supply
enough young oysters to furnish the
demands of the Maurice River Cove
planters and shippers. The bottom
on which the spawn catches so read
lily extends a half-mile from high
water mark out in the bay, and falls
nearly or quite bare at low water.
T. A. Rogers & Son last spring
dumped 90, 600 bushels of shells on
this bottom; Clarence Robbins and
others planted several thousand bush
els, and last month transferred them
to grounds in deeper water. One
planter last week transferred 1000
bushels of the young growth to
grounds in the Cove. Another placed
$500 bushels, and still others large
quantities of the young growth,
which is SO great as to be beyond be-
lief.
Clarence Robbins exhibits two large
shells with between 500 and 600
young oysters clinging to them. An
other shell exhibited by another oys-
terman contained about 300 young
oysters, and another over 200.
One captain, who watched the
grounds to learn at what time in the
season the spat attached itself to the
shells, discovered on July 6 last that
the minute dark specks were covering
the shells. At 4 O'Clock p m. he
placed a number of shells in the
water, and at 9 p. m. the same day
recovered them and found them COM
pletely covered with the specks. Two
days after they struck the shells they
had grown so that they could be felt
by the finger on the shells, and,
viewed through glass, appeared
like wheat grain This prolific spawn
ing continued for two weeks, and
then ceased.
The secret of saving these young
oysters lies in taking them from the
grounds before cold weather Injuries
them and before ice foes grind the
life out of them. If one in ten, after
being replanted in the Cove, escapes
the borer and other enemies, millions
of young oysters can be obtained in
this way.
