PHYSICAL EDUCATION.
Don't Develop the Mind at the Expense
of tho Bodv

Don't Develop tho Mind at the Expense
of the Body.
The man or woman who would train
the mental faculties without any refer
ence to the physical shows faulty
qualification for the work in which he
or size may be engaged. The mind
may be ever so well trained and stored
with knowledge of the books, but un.
less there is behind it reasonably
strong body life runs the risk of be-
ing failure; If not that, an existence
of pain that serves as limitation upon
Its possibilities. 1t is species of cru.
city to educate the mind ut the ex-
pense of the body. Better let Il child
grow up into manhood or womanhood
with an inferior education than with
q better education of the mind and
body weakened in the effort.
The fact that so many men in this
country who have succeeded in bust
ness and in professional and public
life have Eecn the sons OF. farmers,
whose early life has been spent out of
doors, has been subject of remark.
May it not be accounted for on the
ground that In their boyhood their
physique was developed so that In aft.
er life, besides their mental acquire
ments, they had strong bodies with
which to do the work they have 81
successfully performed? This is not
only possible. but very probable

At these dinner parties, according to

to be a tacit agreement that mind

Gulf Stream, Fruit.

The superiority Of certain English
fruits has Its origin in cause little
suspected. 1t is the blessed gulf
stream which does It, Foreign grow
ers are every bit as acute as the Eng
lish, 1t may be. but they have not the
right atmosphere. The gulf stream
imparts bcnefcent humidity to our
atmosphere which results in our fruit
having the thinnest and finest skins Of
any in the world. The English straw
berry Is without equal for flavor. The
English grape, though it may not have
the fine flavor of the Spanish, has the
best skin. The French tomato is as
thick skinned as the English field
grown. The English apple eclipses IT,
rivals because Of Its thin skin, Every
fruit according to its climate. Grown
in different atmosphere, the English
apple would shrivel in day: here,
helped by the moisture from the gulf
stream, it ripens within the thinnest
of jackets and Is as much superior to
the foreign or colonial apple as peach
Is superior to parsnip.-St. James

The manufacture of tinwarc in Eng.
land originated in stolen secret. Few
readers need to be Informed that tin
ware is simply thin sheet iron plated
with tin by being dipped into the mott
en- metal. In theory 1t is an easy mat
ter to clean the surface of iron. Dip
the iron in Il bath of boiling tin and
remove 1t cnvelopel in the silye1y met
nj to place OF cooling. In pructice.
however, the process is one of the most
difficult of arts. 1t was discovered in
Holland and guarded from publicity
with the utmost vigilance for nearly
half century. England tried to dis.
cover the secret in vain until James
Sherman, Cornish miner, crossed the
channel, insinuated himself surrepti.
tiously into tin plate mandatory,
made himself master of the secret and
brought it home.

Nothing has such bewildering ef-
feet as fog. Only animals which find
their way by scent can get about in 1t
with any certainty. Birds are entirely
confused by it. Tame pigeons remain
I'LL day motionless and half asleep,
huddled up, either in or just outside
their pigeon houses. Chickens remain
motionless for hours during heavy fogs.
No bird sings or utters call, perhaps
because it fears to betray Its where
abouts to an unseen foe. During one
very thick fog blind man was found
wandering about certain district Of
London. This man was In the habit Of

Here is a curious little story about
Sir James Simpson. the man who in
troduced the use of chloroform into
surgery, and peril which he escaped,
as recorded by Lyon Playfair. Simp-
son when busy with his researches in
to the subject of anaesthetics called
one day OH Playfair and asked If he
had anything new likely to produce
anaesthesia. Playfalr had just pre-
pared a liquid which seemed worthy
of trial. Simpson, who knew no fear,
prepared instantly to test 1t OH him
self. This Playfair refused to allow
until 1t had first been tried on rabbits.
Two were procured and placed under
the effects of the anaesthetic. Next
day Simpson proposed to try it on him
SELF eve might as well see how the
rabbits have fared," said Playfair.
They found both the animals dead.
