Fencing For Exercise.

The enormous value of continual
practice with the foiIs as a means of
securing and preserving good health Is,
in my humble opinion, the main reason
for the steady hold of fencing upon
public favor in France and Italy. 1t Is
only of late years that the attention be
slowed by medical men upon physical
exercise, in France at least, where
DR.. Lagranges treatises have become
classical, has given prominence to the
worth of fencing as health factor.
Every one knows, or, rather, every one
should know, that fencing presses Into
service every muscle of the human
frame, that 1t creates and develops
suppleness and quickness, that prac-
ticed I'm youth it imparts freedom and
grace of motion absolutely unattain-
able by other means, that 1t Is not a
violent exercise in so far as injury by
strain IS involved and, finally, that it's
perils are comparatively few. At very
remote intervals one hears of a fatal
injury resulting, almost invariably
from a cheap or damaged mask or
from the foolhardy practice of exercis-
ing without the usual head or chest
covering or with an III buttOned foil.
The proportion of mishaps to the num-
Der of fencers, however, IS infnitesi-
