room, and which lends itself to a very
handsome scheme of decoration. Con-
gress has prohibited the use of the hall
for public functions, however, and
unless that action is reversed some
other place will have to be secured.
The holding of the ball in the pension
office has hitherto resulted in stopping
work in that important bureau vir-
tually for a week. This was thought
to be unfair to the thousands Of old
soldiers who have claims awaiting ad-
justment, and it is also regarded as
unfair to the clerical force of the bu-
reau, who have been compelled to take
an enforced vacation during the
Inauguration season.
There has been some talk Of build
ing a huge temporary structure or
wigwam for the purpose Of holding
this ball. One thing that initiates
against this proposition is the mem
DRY of the inaugural ball held at the
time OF Gen. Grants second inaugura-
ton, in 1873, when an immense tenn
porary wooden building was erected
and used. The temperature dropped
to five or six degrees below zero on
Inauguration night, and 1t was Impos-
sible to heat the building sufficiently

HIGH TRAININo Nor HEALTH
Athletics beneficial Only When APP
piled Properly and Judieious-
~, Says Physician.

After an exhaustive examination OF
the case for and against athletics, DR..
Robert Z. Coughlin, of Brooklyn, N. Y,
comes to the following conclusions:
The prime object in athletics is i'm
provement OF the geaeral health. Each
writer has said that health, like happi-
ness, does not exist. Each has g goal
or limit which, while seemingly attain
able, eludes perfect possession. The
body consists Of q number OF mechan-
isms which have the closest and most
exact relations, and as they approximate
to harmony there is health. but when
disordered there Is Ill health. To OBJ
tain good health muscle-building Is not
necessity. One cannot judge Of per-
sons health by the size and hardness of
the muscles. We have seen that the
converse may be true. To obtain health
one must not be in a perfectly trained
condition, owing to the effects Of severe
training on the nervous system. There
Is no evidence to prove that athletics
and muscle-building improve the con-
stitution. One s6ould always keep in
mind the fact that built-up or hypertro-
phied muscle has a tendency to degen-
crate. The heart being a muscular organ
shares in this tendency. Although the
evidence for and against athletics is
contradictory, the whole subject may be
summed up by saying that athletics are
beneficial when properly and judicSOus-
ly applied, and highly injurious when
the precautions above mentioned are
ignored or carelessly regarded"

A novelty in colleges is at Valparaiso,
Indiana. There are four thousand
pupils. The college year is divided
into five terms of ten weeks each.
There are no holidays. Recitation
hours are from $50 a. m. until noon,
from 1 until 6 p. m, and from z to 9.
Examinations are held Saturdays.
Subjects the most in demand are re-
peated every term in the year, SO that
if a student stops out a term to teach
school or work on a farm he can return
and go on where he left off. Those
who go full time attend fifty weeks in a
year instead of thirty-six as in most
schools. The leading teachers are not
cheap men, but get higher salaries than
the average Indiana university pro-
lessor.

We wrap ourselves and fall asleep
And dream all sorts Of things:

What fun to fit and fly about,
Our white wings spread out wideI
To taste the dainty, dewy flowers
And over soft grass glide!
It's better han a fairy play
And more delightful, too.

Each flung a melody loud and sweet
And gladly its tired wings furled.
And one sird high on the tallest tree
A place for It's nesting found.
While humbly the other built its home
Low down on the common ground
A shrfke few By. and 1t saw the nest
That swayed In the branches high.
But the low built nest of the humble bird
He saw not and passed it BY.

TACOMA, Sept. 9.-Recently the
Methodists of Issaquah found their
church had been built on property not
belonging to the organization. The
owners became troublesome and while
moving the church was imperative, the
church funds were so low that it was
practically impossible. 1t was at this
time that a big windsIorm came up
and beat fiercely upon the church. In
stead Of falling the building scooted
along the ground in the direction of the
proper site owned by the congregation.
When it arrived on the site it stopped.
"All that was left for the trustees
to do" said DR.. Harrington in his re-
port to the Methodist Conference, was
to put jacks under the building and
construct the foundation"
When many of the ministers inti
mated they thought the church moving
a windy story DIR. Harrington, who is
presiding elder and a prominent di-
vine, offered witnesses to prove his
statement. The members Of Issaquah

Jews Are Being Incited to Rise
Against the Government.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 10, 1855 a.
m.-Intense activity is being displayed
by some Russophobic revolutionary or
ganizations abroad. 1t seems that they
have united in an effort to appeal to
all the discontented classes of the Rus
sian population. Incendiary proclama-
tions have been smuggled across the
border and distributed broadcast in the
towns ard. cities, and especially in Pol
ish and Jewish centers, calling on the
population TO take advantage of the
Governments preoccupation, owing to
the war, to rise against the authorities
and overthrow the autocracy. Such
propaganda in Russia always results
in an increase of violence.
The proclamations are addressed to
the Jews in particular, but the appeals
are made to all the heterodox sects,
workmen and socialists, and a new
feature is that special appeals are made
to soldiers and peasants. Many of the
proclamations have been seized. and
it is proved that they have been printed
in London. Until now they have met
with little response in Russia proper,
but tnere have been several manifesto
tions in various places in Poland and
Southwestern Russia, where the popu-
lation is largely Jewish.
