EXERCISE AND INTELLECT NOT IRRtCoNCIlABlE.
BY W. Macd ,uaId Smith,


The business man of to-day has little idea Of
what disease is, or health either, for the matter
of that He gulps down, or drinks down, his
meals, sits in a stuffy Office all day, and, with
the connivance of street cars cabs, and tele-
phones gives his legs as little work as possible.
He takes, of course, every possible precaution
against drafts. and is careful not to unduly sex
pose himself If he is at all lax in these matters

THE IDEAL HOLIDAY.
BY T. p. O'Connor.

The ideal holiday is regarded as an escape
from the intensity of life. The mere escape from
routine effects much. To look from a railway
carriage window and see nature putting off the
city like a garment, and the wind sing clean
and clear, this alone is an immense reinsurance
to the natural man.
In the first hours Of holiday most of us are

From the New York Globe.
Few houses in London have had a more
curious and checkered history than IL Fleet
street, so long known to Londoners as the
Palace of Cardinal Wolsey and Henry
VIII" which had been completely restored
by the London county council. The earliest
authentic records show the building to have
been acquired by James / as an office for
the Duchy of Cornwall. For a time Henry,
Prince of Wales used ii as town resi-
dence prior to his untimely death The
house would appear TO have passed soon az
ter from the possession OF the Duchy OF
Cornwall and was turned into one OF the
coffee houses for which Fleet street became
famous The name It bore for many years
was .'Nando' s." and 1t Is said that Thur
low the eminent lawyer, obtained his first
great brief there. Later still the building
was the scene of a waxwork exhibition, Mrs.
Salmon, the predecessor of Madame Tus-
saud. being the proprietress until her death
in 1912. Latterly the premises were used
by a hairdresser. The house is one OF the
few specimens of late Tudor architecture
left by the great fire OF London, which
ceased its ravages within a few feet east
of it, The county council have removed the
eaudy tinseled front of modern creation
and res stored the building to its original con-
ditlon The total cost OF its acquisition was
$50 800, and a further sum of ES,60o has
been spent on its restoration.
