ism. may be learned in the practice
of athletics What the greatest uni
versities foster and the preparatory
schools recommend. it is not for the
household to fTOwn upon, without good
reason.
A man in love with music declined
to let his daughters learn to row, lest
it should spoil the suppleness Of their
pianO-hand. A man who valued grace
and symmetry stood squaTely in the
path OF his sons through their child
hood, lest they should get. broken fin
gers. OF enlarged thumb-jO joints from
PLAYING ball. For the reason that they
might stumble on the ice, they were
not permitted to learn to skate. In
consequence, though they were schOl-
aTly enough. they arrived at Adde'S
cence inferior in size. strength and
fearlessness to others who had known
the rough and tumble of life, and they
had to make up as best they could for
the drawback of a too tenderly nur-
tured juvenile career.
Athletics are here to stay We owe
it to our juniors to give them gym
nastic training, in reason, just as we
owe them the alphabet and all that
follows after A. 3. G.
Our own children are not the only
ones to whom we owe the physical
training that comes from athletic
sport The understood, iII-fed. pallid
children Of the tenement, those to
whom fortune has been a step-dame
and whom nature has lowered stingily.
look to US for a chance to improve their
condition. No more gratifying sign
of the times appears than in the social
altruism which leads a college, team to
play against a ueighborhOod settlement
team which brings the fellows who
were born to the golden spoon to meet
as friends the fellows who were born
to no spoon AT all. The most crafty
ing phase of recent athletics is seen in
the development of manly brotherhood
which makes no account OF rich or poor
but welcomes all good comrades to play
the game.

Power of Native Wizards.
No reference to the old order Of
things III Hawaii would be complete
without mention of the kahuna, or ma
tive doctor. He was "A sort of wizard
or soothsayer, who was reverenced and
feared by all the people. He was sup
posed to have the power of life and
death. and it was accepted as a matter
of fact that he could pray ones life
away. Next to the voOdoO priests of
Hayti the Hawaiian kahuna is the
most mysterious individual of whom
we have any account They say it Is
not at all unusual for a man or woman
to be prayed to death, and the explana-
ton is the use of suggestion. When
the idea of death becomes fully lodged
in the mind of a patient the end IS
easy from the sheer force of magma
ton.
1t has been charged that vegetable
pOisOns figure in these fatal prayings,
but there seems to be no evidence TO
substantiate this claim. The reader
may scOff at the idea Of a man being
able 10 pray a person to death, but one
has only to see the bsneful light in
the kahuna's eyes to recognize the
presence of some strange power. Once
the idea of death suggests itself to a
sick person, medicine can do him no
good. There are those who assert that
the beautiful Princess Kaiulani was a
victim of the kahunas. 1t is certain
that the house was surrounded by
