Running is the great beautifier of fig
ure and movement. 1t gives muscular
development, strong heart action and
free lung play. The muscle comes
where 1t ought to be, the shoulders go
back, the loins hold the trunk we'll bal
anced. and the feet take their correct
positions. 1t was running which made
the Greek figure. The more active
tribes of American Indians have been
runners from time immemorial, and
from the chest to the heels they are
much more beautifully built than the
average of white men. Running peo.
pie have usually the firm but elastic
texture which is the beauty of flesh.

Early Marriage In China.

1t is nothing rare in China for boys
twelve to fourteen years old to marry.
The physical, moral and intellectual de-
velopment of the contracting parties
has nothing t.. do with the matter. 9th
er considerations entirely regulate the
affair. An old Chinese aphorism says
that the great business of life is ended
when the sons and daughters are mar
ried. The Chinese parents do not care
to run the danger Of postponing the
marriage of their children, especially
of their sons, until after their own
death.
