The variety of beneficial motions that
may be had in muscular exercise is al
most unlimited. 1t is interesting to no.
tice that children, when free to play
as they choose, instinctively make so
many different motions that they seem
to use all their muscles. When peo-
pies ideas of propriety shall have be
come what they should be grown peo-
pie can exercise like children without
being considered daft or silly. Many
of the performances of children seem
to older persons purposeless and use
less
There is such a state of ignorance
and prejudice that many people of con
siderable education lack very much of
having proper conception Of the rela-
ton of exercise to life and health. One
may learn and practice with benefit
a system of exercises, as many do,
without having the acquaintance with
the principles involved that makes pos
sible the greatest benefit and interest
and enjoyment. There is an important
advantage in knowing the reasons for
the various movements and what mus
cles make each movement and how
muscles use bones as levers.

The Wish bone.

The wishbone in birds is called by
scientists furcula and is in reality the
union of what are in man the two sepa-
rate collar bones. These in the birds re-
ceive the brunt of the strokes of the
wing that turn the creature in its
fight. Few realize the strength of
stroke of the birds wing. 1t is said
that a swan has been known to break
mans leg by blow of its wing, and
in like manner the wing beatings of the
larger birds are dangerous if they
strike the head or face. If, therefore, a
large bird is in the habit of making
sudden turns to right or left in its
flight it must be fitted with a wishbone
competent to withstand the great
strain of the wing stroke on one side,
with no special action on the other side
For this reason we find in the eagle
and like birds of quickly turning fight
a furcula that is perfect Roman arch,
widely at variance with the Gothic
arch, which is the shape of the wish
bone of our common fowls. The eagles
furcula is a solid rounded arch, every
where equally strong and not develop
ing those points of weakness that make
our sport of breaking the wishbone
possible

larger fish. Baxter grinned ironically
at the forbiddins black letters on the
fence and climbed over it.
Halfway down the field was a little
clump of pines through which the
stream flowed. Baxter entered the
shadows of the trees, and scarcely had
he cast when his reel whirred merrily
and the line cut the water sharply.
His pulses quickened. Here was fish
ing worth talking about. The line
slackened, and he began to reel in
gently.
At that moment the bushes behind
him cracked, and a calm voice said;
Pardon me, but have you per-
mit?"
Baxter gave no heed until he had
landed the trout; then he turned to
find himself face to face with young
woman. She was regarding him stead
lily, with little frown of disapprOyal.
A creel hung from a broad strap across
her shoulder, and she carried an I'M
joined rod in a leather case.
Baxter had mOmentarily forgotten
the warning Oh the fence. Now her
words recalled it to his mind. He was
evidently caught redhanded at his
poaching, and the only thing to do was
to frankly admit it. He looked at the
girl before him She was tall, well
formed and undeniably attractive. In
deed she was quite striking as she
stood there calmly awaiting his reply.
you have a permit, of course?" she
asked again.
Baxter smiled quietly.
Il regret to state" said he, 81 am a
deep dyed poacher."
The girl lifted her brows
you must have noticed the signs"
she said
Il noticed one" said he 'but the
stream was too tempting to man who
had landed but four small trout during
the morning. l am very sorry that my
zeal got the better of my discretion. and

ranted intrusion. Whatever the dam
ages are I'll settle. plead guilty"
Il should be inclined to follow the
signs" she said, "and prosecute you to
the full extent of the law but for the
way you just landed that trout. 1t was
splendid and shows you to be an eXpe-
rienced angler. If you'd bungled it |
should have let the law do its worst.
If you promise not to trespass again
you're quite free to go this time"
Baxter bowed
You are very generous" he de
clared, (which makes me doubly
ashamed of my trespass Rest assured

ask to whom I'm indebted for allowing
me to go unmolested?"
Something in his eyes made the girl
flush.
"Oh-it's-its all right she said
hltingly. "Now please goat once"
Still Baxter hesitated. He was not
given to pretty speeches nor to staring
at young women whom chance threw
in his way, but some indefnable charm
about the girl made him do the latter
and regret his inability to do the for
mer.
I'm very grateful" he said lamely
enough, "and-and"--
"And whdt?" she said almost sharp
ly.

Baxter had followed tie stream all

Four trout, by far too small TO MAKE
matters at all interesting, had risen to
the fly and now slid about in tie cree,
as he made his way through the under
brush to tie open field. where ;-e

promise of better sport.
At the edge Of the field was wire

it was the notice:
