These statistics are instructive
as indicating the growth not only
of the schools bnt also the town
population. Several interesting
fscts appear on comp lrisOn Of
the figures for the reveral yesrs.
Ia 1903 the percentage Of the Gu
rollment IN actual attendance was
85.9; in 1892, 1875; in 1901, so
This shows q gradual gain which
speaks we'll for the efforts Of the
superintendent and teachers and
indicsles greater efficiency IN the
schools. The more regular the
attendance, as rule. the better the
resnlts Obtained.

take neck exercise by raising the head
 as far from the floor as possible. This
 brings into play the muscles at the side
 of the neck. The strain on them while
 you are lying is much greater. as you will quickly feel. than while you are in
 an upright position. Consequently, there is better chance for the develop ment of the round neck that you want.
 The came exercises that round your thin neck will reduce the ovcr-plump one
 They tend to symmetry of outline, no matter from what condition they start, It will take good deal of practice for you to learn to touch the floor above your head with your toes while lying on your back. This is an exercise that you may give yourself after you become an advanced pupil in the course. It Is the first stage in a backward somersault. Having touched, bring the legs back to their extended position. If you are not used to turning somersaults. 20 gently, 1 lest you lose your balance and suddenly
 find your whole weight toppllnR upon
 the back of your neck. It Is a painful incident. The strain should come upon lthe muscles that follow the back of the

one leg extended upon the other. Don't nother about your arms. Let them for- get themselves. Now draw the left leg up along inc floor until the knee touches your chest. DO this four times Turn upon the left side and put the right knee through the same paces. = -
 For the next breathing exercise-all of them are taken flat on the back-try breathing with the whole trunk. chest and abdomen both. This is the best form Of breathing for common practice It is the form that animals teach us. and they know points about physical living that we have forgotten.
 Still on your back, raise each leg and both legs to a perpendicular. Only prac- tice will make the muscles about the knee willing to extend in a straight line. Four counts for the right, four for the left, four while they alternate and four for both together. This exercise may be taken with the hands on the hips.
 Instead of breathing. an occasional neck exercise may be thrown in between the 'kickings." Lying on the back, shoulders on the mat. raise the head as high as possible by means of the neck muscles alone. You won't be able to do this many times at first.
 Lying on the side as before, raise the upper leg while 1t is extended straight. It will have an inclination to bend at the knee; don't let 1t. Raise 1t until you become a very broad V lying on your side.
 While you are on your side you can

leg from the hip down. You will feel a stout tug on them as if they were ropes in tug of war.
 You will be breathless after your at- ten1pts at this exercise. and you may put your neck to work again while you rest $ouF body on It's back. Turn the head turn and turn about upon the mattress. The neck muscles will rebel vigorously after dozen counts. and 't is as well to let tnem rest. They will gradually grow accustomed to more work. It Is best not to push any form of exercise to the point of becoming tired.
 A combination of two previous exer- cises is formed by raising the bent knee to the chest. extending the leg to a per- pendicular bending it to the chest again, then extending it full length on the floor, This requires a count of four, and is given, of course, on the back.
 It is time to begin the exercises that are taken face downward, and by way of preparation you must learn to lie in a relaxed position. Turn over lightly teach you to roll and turn, and get up and down as if you were six instead of sixty. There must be no grunts as if you were gouty. Remember that your body is not hung upon creaky hinges, but upon springy, automatic ones, if you encourage them in the right direc- tiOn.
 Place your forehead on the mat, then raise and lower the head ny the neck muscles. However, during the exercises

Esduimau can no longer return to it's primitive condition of existence. He would certainly starve If he did, and therefore he must rely on the white man. to whom he becomes dependent-a slave, indeed, in all but the name.
 At Kekkerton the factor is MT. Mulch Scotchman, who for twenty-seyen years has remained welded to his soli- tary existence. The Blackhead station Is controlled by Mir. Sheridan, German, who has been thirty years. there. Both have amassed considerable wealth, but evince no inclination to return to the outer world, with all the marvels of science and art which have marked the advancement of the last generation. Every two years q whaling steamer from | Scotland visits them. bringing supplies l for them and their EsquiTnau followers and removing the stocks of whale oil, whalebone. hides. ivory and other arti- cles of trade accumulated in the mean time. a.f&r
 With these self-exiled settlers money has no meaning. Every thing is done by barter; every service is paid for with a fragment of iron or a pound of biscuit The profits of the venture go to their accounts in Aberdeen, where the pro- ducts are marketed and. possibly. when beyond their labor these two recluses may make their way back 10 civilization to mourn the lost advantages they are now too old to enjoy. s.-... ..
 They live in frame houses. the only ones besides the clergyman's fin that northern land. They fare on canned foods, eked out with venison rom the musk OK of the interior or steak from the whales captured, a by no means un- appetizing dish But they are not averse to the raw seal, bear and walrus which the Esquimaus affect. for no man can maintain his strength more than a sea son or two In that latitude without, con- suming large quantities of raw fat meat,
 The missionary. MT. Peck has his sta ton between the two whaling posts, and is gradually civilizing the 900 Esquimaus who comprise the population. The chill dren are being taught English and can speak English. but the Status of exist enee is very low. The natives are jolly, happy noffenslve lot. but are slowly dy- ing out from the whitening contact with civilization and the spread of disease per taining thereto. As they become infirm they are practically pensloned by the whaling factors and as their require ments are but small it is not a serious matter to insure them against want and distress in this world.
 It is remarkable what fascination the frozen and remote North has for those who come into contact with 1t. The factors of the Hudson Bay Company have all spent ten to thirty years in the wilds. and prefer to remain there longer rather than to dwell among cities after ward. It Is the same way with explorers, Never a man ventures within the polar zone but is consumed with a desire to return there, although the desire to achieve scientific conquests in the icy wastes relieves them from the charge of the more sor0Id considerations which ap- ply to those whose lengthy sojourns in

Then every well-regulated French fane'iy has a dog who more than likely occupies a chair and eats ofR plate beside you at the table. so that it Is considered churlish if you do not also stop and tell the dog 'bon jour" and ''au revoir" a dozen times a day. pausing to take the paw which he is prettily taught to ex- tend to you.
 When the washerwoman brings home your linen, there are at least five minutes spent in ceremoniously greeting and parting from her In the operation of re- ceiving and. paying for linen you ex-l change "mercis" and 'pardons" not few CT than ten times.

 Bending the leg at the knee, raise 1t until you strike yourself with your heel. It is harder to do this with one foot at . time than with both together, but 1t can be done.

 She remained silent and he saw tears in her eyes. Suddenly she sprang to her feet '"wait for me there for ten min utes,'' she cried, and hurriedly left the boudoir.
 It was long ten minutes to Bravien, but at last the door that led to the inner loom opened and La Marchesa appeared, heavily yelled.

 Bravien looked and with horror in his eyes staggered back to the ottoman and there sat, his face hidden in his hands, his brain awhirl. Minute after minute passed with no sound but the ticking of the little clock on the mantel. Then he felt soft hand laid careAsingly on his
