use of dumbbens is Of but little use as regards endurance. II, however,
his heart has not been damaged, his training in coordination may have
been neglected, and so render his large muscles useless
1t seems to me, speaking purely from my own experience among
many thousands of men, that the physically strong man, as trained by, let
us say, the original Sandow system, stands the inroads of disease badly.
| recall a perfect giant of muscular strength who rowed for three
years in the Cambridge boat and very nearly died from an attack of infu,
enza, while his sister, who was a woman of poor physique, not only passed
through an attack uneventfuny, but also nursed him while he was still i'll.
How often does the "strong" man show such signs of degeneration
as badness or premature gray hair? Seldom does the Strong man
reach a happy and healthy old age.
Physical culture should always have an end in view bearing on the
mans avocation.
The first thing TO be taught in all physical culture is the avoidance
of strain, and next the imperative duty of keeping the mouth open.
Carriage is another important detail and correct ways of walking and
standing.
Avoidance of fatigue is an important point. A good brisk walk in
the fresh air, with free breathing and good style, is Is useful a form of
physical exercise as any l know.

was. unless this is some haf-forgoHen fairy tale, once
w upon a time. an age when a woman's only ambition was to win
- the love Of her husband and children. But in these times Of
&SS9SaI competition, when women are striving with men inthe con-
fGA4AE test of life, the brains Of the faTer sex are occupied with am.
s4 AL k billions Of a less sentimental kind. The changed times and
ESAa@I circumstances by which she is surrounded have forced woman
6I6 to take upon herself this difficult task, for SO we must consider
-s- it, when we see how many more qualifications a woman musi
possess than a man, unless she is to meet with dead failure as
she climbs up the hill to success.
Provided a man has brains and knows how to use them. no more is
required of him. Attractive MANNERS and a pleasant face, should he pos
sess them, will be by no means a disadvantage, but a man can easily com
mand a good position in the world be he the ughest mortal that was ever
created, But with a woman matters are very different How much truth
there is in the assertion that genius must one day assert itself depends, l
a beautiful woman will not take long to discover that as long as man has
the power of dispensing this worlds goods, her beauty, providing she has
brains enough to use her opportunities, will take her by a short cut to
fame. Surprising a woman with brains and beauty is contendng with a
woman absolutely devoid Of charm, it is the former who is bound to win.
See what a powerful weapon she possesses! Every door at which she
knocks will be opened. 81 came, l was seen, l conquered" she will ex-
claim; whilst 81 came, | was seen (and when the person was interview
ing was poite), / was told l should be borne in mind and promptly for
gotten" will be the reflection Of the other. A woman whose mind is her
only dover is seriously handicapped. All through her career she has to
strain every nerve, and create for herself those opportunities which are
laid at the feet of her beautiful sister. Besides intellect appears so much
greater when it belongs to a beautiful woman. Short and not too diff
cult will be the ascent of the one, whilst the other, crawling for an inch,
only to be knocked back and to be forced to begin again, will find it hard,
wearhome drudgery.
But fortunately for the welfare of mankind, brains and beauty are
not too often found in combination. Beauty alone is not dangerous. 1t
fers the same fate as a beautiful ornament, which is purchased and placed
on one side to be looked at when time permits.
Though the woman of remarkable beauty will always be able to COM
mand admiration, it is the woman with brains who holds in her hands
the trumps of the game of life. But the lady will have to remember that
her end must be won IS a woman and not a a poor imitation of a man.

Most of the tortoise shell OF com
merce is obtained from the hawks;bill
turtle, which is taken chiefly In the
Caribbean sea. Turtles caught in
these waters vary In size from n to
four and one-half feet long, with a
maximum weight of $50 pounds, and
the average weight of shell obtained
from each is from six to seven pounds.
The commercial value of tortoise shell
depends upon the thickness and size
OF the plates rather than upon the
brilliancy of the colors. The price, of
shell in this market fiuctuates from
three to six dollars In gold per pound,
AS the best prices are obtained in
England. the largest amount of the
shell shipped from these parts goes to
that country. The San Bias Indians,
however, trade a large amount Of
shell to coasting schooners, which is
partly carried to the States and partly
to Colon.

HORSES.
Why They Acquire the Habit and How
to Cure Them.

Some horses are naturally addicted
and still others have the stumbling
habit thrust upon them, says an ex.
change. In the first, it is almost in
durable, but the second and third
causes can be remedied by the rider or
driver. If the ground is rough or un-
even, horses with a low action are
prone to stumble. Other horses which
are naturally slip-shod, generally stun
BILE because they do not lift their feet
high enough from the ground. Lazi-
ness is another cause for stumbling,
and horses that are heavy in front, or
whose fore legs are weak or unsound,
have the same fault. Very often care
~lessness on the part of the driver
causes horses to stumble. This makes
1t necessary always to bear in mind
the value of keeping the horses well
in hand and sufficiently collected. II
the habit is due to laziness it can
often be cured by riding or driving the
horse over rough ground until he has
been broken of the fault. But in all
cases the cure rests with the driver
or rider. The most ~sure-footed of
horses is bound to stumble at times,
but this a be reduced to a minimum
by keeping a tight rein. A slack rein
is often the sole cause for stumbling.
If fatigue is the cause. extra care
must be taken to keep the horse well
up to the bit. No good horseman will
ever take chances of his horse STUN
bling by allowing a slack rein. Stun
bling is not only an annoying habit.
but it often results in serious injury
and many times in. the total disability
OF the animal. While an habitual ten
dency to stumble often does not ad-
init of a cure. the average caee can be
prevented by the methods Suggested
above.
