To the President Was By Special Ap' polntment.

Albany Special to New York World.
 The question of the better physical de- vclopment of the boys and girls in the schools throughout the country is one which is being carefully studied by President Roosevelt
 The President firmly believes that sound mind is consequent upon a sound physical development. In order that ne might gain information on the subject MT Roosevelt a short time ago made an appointment with Eugene Sandow' the world-famous strong man, who has been giving exhibitions in this city this week. to meet him and discuss the question or physical development.
 About ten days ago Sandow journeyed from New York to Washington and had an interview with the President. Presi- dent Roosevelt was very much interested in the mans perfect development ana with him discussed at considerable length the question of the better develop ment and growth of the human body.
 Sandow showed the President his phe- nomenally developed muscles in repose, then made them firm as steel
 He showed him how he could expand his chest IA inches, and how he could perfectly control almost every muscle in the body. The President asked Sandow many questions, and was very much pleased with the interview.
 The President expressed the belief that the training of the body should form as important part in the school syrtem of the country as that of the mind. ! When President Roosevelt was Cover nor he had room in the executive man. sion set apart as a gymnasium, and here the young Roosevelts were trained daily. Prof. Michael Dwyer. Q welf-known wrestler, was employed by the Governor to assist in this training and the Gov ernor often tried to take fall out of him on the mat.

BROTHER DIED 14o YEARS AGO

From the London Chronicle.
 There are probably not many men living who had brother that died one hun dred and forty years ago. This. however appears to be the case Swith an old man who was called as witness in small town of styria. His father was married the first time in 176o. at the age of ls. The following year he had a son, who died after few months. His father married again in 1911. at the age of TO- and wit ness was born the next year. which made him 80. Mark Twain dropped tear upon the grave of Adam. so perhaps this old man still gricves for his brother.

 The regular 12-inch rife, with reduced charge of smokeless powder, in addition to 20 pounds of Maximite, was discharged at q target in effect four miles away at Sandy Hook today. The shell, with a mug gle velocity of 1900 feet a second, struck the target and shattered 1t into frag- ments.

THE Lady warwick school For Wo-
men Farmers, Near Reading.
In The Woman's Home Companion
Miss Knobe tells about THE Lady
warwick school for Women Farmers"
''In this rural spot, on the outskirts
Of Reading, only an hours run from
London, the beautiful and accomp-
llshed Countess OF Warwick is sponsor
ing a most original scheme whereby
English. girls may be coached in agri-
culture. There are agricultural col
Ieges, to be sure, wherein limited In;

SO called, from the raising Of cnbbages
and chrysanthemums to the building OF
a pIgsty and the making Of a hay
mound. These sturdy daughters Of
Ceres. In other words. are fitted to run
a farm.
This unique school was opened In
October. 1893. The minimum period
OF training Is two years, and Mt the end
Of that time a certificate Is awarded.
The theoretical part Of the course Is
systematically pursued in the agricul-
tural department OF the adjacent Read
ing college. Many Of the lectures occur
In the winter, with rigid examinations
at the end of each term, while the
practical demonstration is done at the
hostel by the girls. There is only one
man about the place, n horticultural
instructor, who comes three times a
week. A registry department has been
opened. Some OF the students have
already secured good positions, while
others have started Independently. In
the meantime the students are gaining
a snug income by the sale OF their
produce.
"rhese girl students are receiving
more than a scientific course, for the
social and athletic side is not to be
overlooked. Though some of the stu.
dents are up with the lark-and mt
Warwick hostel the lark is scheduled
to soar at precisely 4:30-attendIng to
tasks in the field, there are hours dur
ing the day and evening set aside for
recreation. Lively contests in boating,

The French pres.mnker.

Apropos OF a recent paragraph about
French dressmaking establishments
and their methods correspondent
writes to ask what salaries are paid to
the workwomen and what chance an
American would have of obtaining a
position in one of these houses. We
have made inquiries and learn that a
woman cutter or filter in one of the big
houses gets from SO TO $50 month.
u rorewoman on skirts and bodies from
$50 to 500 month and q good sales
woman commands a minimum Of 500.
Some with good appearance. persua-
sive manners and knowledge Of Eng
lish get as much as $3.50.
In the humber positions women are
no longer paid by the month or the
week. but by the day. so that in the
dull season the sewing woman IS only
fitfully employed. and the consequent
misery is the cause OF the dissatisfac-
ton which made a dressmakers' strike
possible. In addition to the positions
mentioned most of the designers for
the big Paris houses are women, as
many as 20 being sometimes employed.
Another interesting element In the per-
sonnet Of these establishments are the
models or "InannequIns." They are
the girls who PUT on the gowns when
customer wants TO make a selection.
They must have pretty faces, perfect
figures and an air Of distinction. And

IIshment appeals: Experience in an
