AMERICANS SOON TIRE
 OF ATHLETIC SPORTS

maining in athletics after he is in business. In very many cases these objections are fictitious and of no real value Our Amerf- can athletes should therefore resolve at this beginning of a new century to take more active interest in sport and to remain in the game a longer period.
 
 To take a personal instance or two, M. w. Long, the peerless quarter-mier, has been advised by many of his friends to re- tire because forsooth. he now holds the worlds record. Retire now while you are unbeaten" they say. But Long has replied that he is in athletics because he enjoys them, and he sees no reason why he should retire merely because he holds a worlds record or may get beaten. It is a bum athlete who can't stand beating.
 Influenced by arguments such as were laid before Long, Kraenzlein, the greatest living athlete of the day, has announced his retirement. But the famous Pennsyl- vanian still has capabilities of improve ment, and there is no reason why he should retire. His love of the game is strong, and when the great events to be held next summer at the Pan-American Exposition come along, he will doubtless yearn to get back into sport. He should do so and not forsake his favorite pastme in the fullness of his vigor and when he is yet capable Of improvement.
 The length of an athletes life is much longer than the average Inal supposeS. III America the idea is general that sprinting is a matter wholly of nervous force, ana. that a sprinter is at his best at 2l or 22; in fact that after that an athlete deterio- rates. Given a correct life, sprnter will be just as fast at 32. Harry Hutchins the great English sprinter, could not get match when he was over 35, he was still s' fast Steve Farrell a famous America runner, was as fast as ever at 32. Bacon, the English champion, was breaking long, distance records last summer, though he is 8 years old. WIG. George, Cummings, Conneff, Long, the great distance runner, all made their worlds running records when between 2S and 30 years of age And so one could go on multiplying instances to show that with proper living an athlete may enjoy his sport until in his thirties,
 Despite all arguments to the contrary, it would be a good thing if our athletes did not leave the sport so soon.

AGITATION RE-
 vIvEp BY DRESS PERFORMERS.

Mrs. B. M Sherman in New York Herald
 Like Banquo's ghost, the corset quesuon will not down. Physicians, dress reform CTS and the general public at large thought the matter was settled once and for all when by dint of hammer and tongs they succeeded in forcing the twentieth century woman into accepting the present style of corset.
 But this question is an uneasy mortal, and not content with the present Of we may so call i) diaphragmatic female fig ure, and like a great many people In this world filled with desire for notoriety, the ito wear not ito wear corsets' has bobbed up in an unexpected quarter.
 Everybody knows that the up-to-date club woman has mission to perform She was put on this earth to reform abuses, which but for her would flourish like rank we ads She sees her duty and like we'll trained soldier, she goes straight at it and never ffinches.
 Some one said in her hearing lately:
 Shall we put corsets on our young girls? Shall we crush and deform the bodies of the future mothers of our new and eman- cipated race? Shall we as women who are working for suffrage, for the abolition of vices, for the solid foundations of reform, permit such crime? No, no; do away with corsets! Train our girls as we do our
 
 men be so physically perfect that the men and women born to them shall transcend all those who have hitherto come into this sadly in need of reform world of ours!
 Now here was something to work for. The clarion was sounded and probably the death knell to corseits rung. Be this as it may the question will be seriously taken up at some of the clubs during the winter, and the women are filled with the import ance of their mission.
 This not putting of corsets on young girls has been under serious consideration for some time, not only by mothers, but by the principals of the majority of our educational institutions. In all the smart schools today hygiene and athletics stand at the head of the list
 The physical culturists assert that If you properly strengthen and train the body, the brain will develop and receive knowl- edge more readily. Sometimes I think these good people are wrong. How many brilliant examples of magnificent brain power do we not find in misshapen bodies?
 A man, hearing of this crusade for the first time the other day, asked:
 What is it you women propose to do? What good will be the outcome of all this fuss and feathers?'
 We claim," was the reply, that if the young girls body Is not confined in a boned and steel frame the muscles will become hard, the torso will not need any artificial support, and that the coming race of wo- men will be Venuses de Milo"
 "Oh!" exclaimed the man, in disgust; i've don't want Venuses de Milo. We want wo- men just as we have always known them!''

E. c. stedman Forgot J. G. Sake.

From the New York Commercial Adver-
 tiser f-9 "-
 It would not seem to be a difficult thing for a of taste and reading to make an anthology; for, as rule, anthologies are books that are bought on general princi- ples and not usually read or studied with much care. An exception to this, how ever, is found in the case of MT. Edmund Clarence Stedmans American Anthology" which is being criticised with considerable vivacity. What troubles most of the crit ics Is the omission of anything from the pen of John G. Sake, who was in his way a much more representative writer than many of those to whom MT. Stedman has been asked to explain th.3 omission, but has refused to do so, which refusal has led to good deal of guessing. Our own theory is that Mir Stedman forgot all about Saxe and doesn't like to say so. This theory seems reasonable enough when you look over the Anthology in question and see how much time its compiler must have spent in hunting up obscure poets in the bach numbers of college magazines.

The Elixir of Life.
From the Chicago News

FTom the Chicago News.
 TWO professors of the University of Chi cago have discovered that salt air is the elixir of life-that is, solution of common salt will make. turtles heart beat. This appears to be highly important for turtles Hereafter any turtle which persists in dying when little salt and water will keep his ventricle pulsating will be morally guilty of suicide and must expect to suffer all the pains and penalties of the law. If the pro- -fessnrs will now discover what will make lobster's heaft-heat their labors will be of direct and immense hlpap Interest.

The Irish Members Must Shut 10 In

This they did voluntarily. and there
was no search in tho sense implied In

against the two officers referred to in
