Excessive Athletics.

Exercise Is as necessary for the
human body as food and drink. II is
impossible to maintain perfect health
without 1t; but 1t must be taken In
moderation, for excess In this respect
is as harmful In its way, and some.
times In the same way, as excess in
eating. The effect of exercise is to
increase the tissue changes in the
body. The weaker cells are destroyed
and replaced by new and stronger
cells, the nutrition is increased, and
the waste products are thrown of. II
the exercise is carried to extreme
lengths 1t may happen that the waste
products are thrown into the system
in SO great quantity that they cannot
be disposed of In the ordinary way,
and they accumulate to such an ex.
tent that the body is poisoned by Its
own waste. The result is the samt }s
when an excess Of food is taken; and
so, exercise, which in moderation
tends to counteract the evil Of over.
eating, in excess only increases the
evil. 1t has always been known that
excessive physical labor has a tenden.
cy to shorten life, and the attainment
of old age is seldom the lot of the la.
boring man. But the fact Is often
curiously overlooked that physical la.
Dor is physical labor. whether it con.
sists in welding pick and shovel or
in throwing weights, rowing a boat,
running or jumping. The dangers Of
inordinate devotion to athletics, says
Youths Companion, are that one part
OF the body, one set Of muscles or GER
tain organs. such as the heart, will be
developed out of proportion to the
other parts. This is especially the
case In the young, who have not yet
attained their growth. The heart is
patient organ, and when strain Is
put upon 1t 1t quietly increases its
bulk and its strength to meet the task.
So long as the strain is continued, 1t
works along, but when the call upon
It is diminished suddenly, the young
man giving up his athletics and taking
to sedentary life. its muscular tissue
begins to degenerate. The arteries.
under strain, act in the same way. and
when the tension is relaxed the con.
dition known as arteriosclerosis de-
velops. The tissues are poorly nour-
ished and the man ages before his
time. When devotion to athletics has
been excessive. 1t is only by the
greatest care In training down that
the athlete can avoid the danger OF
weakened body and neryes

Was a Great Teacher.

BY the death OF Kuno Fischer, Eu.
rope loses one of its really great
teachers of philosophy. Like Victor
Cousin. Fischer paid particular atten-
tion to the form OF his lectures. which
were models OF clear and sometimes
eloquent exposition. He spoke invari.
ably without notes, and could quote
from memory extended passages from
the ancient as well as from the mod
ern philosophers. His History OF
Modern Philosophy" is remarkable for
the precision OF its statements and
the Justice OF its criticisms. Although
Hegelian. Fischer never employed
the peculiar terms of the school. He
was a thoughtful critic OF modern lit.
erature. and his lectures on Goethe's
Faust, on leasing. and on certain
plays OF Shakespeare attracted large
audiences. A singular episode In his
career, relates New York Post, was
an acrimonious debate with Trendel.
enburg OF Berlin over an interpreta.
tlon OF the Kantian philosophy. The
animosity produced by this dispute
was, according to some. the reason
why Fischer never went to Berlin. but
remained for more than 80 years nm
ornament to the University OF Heidei.

IN THE NAME OF CHARITY.
Jack London's Story Carries Sting Of
Truth and Pathos.

Jack London's famous definition Of
charity-'shsring bone with a dog

York before he sailed away on the
Spark.
"Mr. London said two old men were
smoking and drinking together after
dinner.
1.-THE host rang the bell and an old
woman appeared.
"'Confound you. stupid said the
host. Didn't tell you wanted the
Scotch? Take this back. and bring
what asked for, you old fool!'
"'Come, come said the guest. after
the old woman had hurried away In a
great fright. Come. come. my friend.
don't you think you are rather too
sharp with your old servants?
"'oh.' said the other. she's not
