Physical Development

For muscular Development swimming
has no equal. II calls into play all the
muscles OF the body Of the head. and
especially OF the neck. the eXtremities.
ard the trunk. For the benefit that the
exercise gives. every one should practice
swimming wneu it is possible, as wen
as for tho SAFETY which it Will insure in
cases OF accident upon the water
The art OF swimming may easily be ac-
CURED in childhood. and the fortunate
ones who are naturally able to preserve
their equilibrium. whether upon stills.
on a bicycle, or IN treacherous water,
will take 10 the motions naturally.
II would be much better for learners
generally, however. II those who IN
struct them would recognize the fact
that one who does not know how 10
swim or float can 90 10 the bottom cas-

It would seem wise for the latter TO &C
quire the motions of swimming IN the
first place.
With the hands extended. the fingers
and palms pressed together. and feet

act Of kneeling. the beginner takes the
first position, being supported by a
friendly hand placed beneath the chin.
In the next position the hands should be

Rowing IS the exercise for developing
the chest and muscles Of the arms. II

In such case rowing is the exercise par
excellence. It keeps one in the open air

The trouble with tennis is that Il is a

IRONY OF HISTORY SHOWN
IN HONOR TO FRANZ KoSSUTH

History" says a Budapest paper,
furnishes many examples OF irony.
The latest was furnished when the Hun
garian coronation Jubilee was celebrated
a few days ago. when the Emperor
King distributed honors and titles
among the men prominent in Hungarian
politics. Among others. Franz. son of
Louis Kossuth. was distinguished with
me title Of privy councillor. and this on
the fortieth anniversary Of the peace
between crown and nation, which Louis
Kossuth never recognized and against
which he wrote and labOred TO his last
dry" The incident recalls 10 the writer
the modesty OF Frank Deak. who
brought about the union Of 1867 and who
could not be induced 70 accept anything
in recognition Of his services After he
had declined posts OF honor and decora-
lions. the Empress Elizabeth invited him
20 dine at the burg. and wrote the invi-
tnion herself. but Deak asked to be
excused. Finally. after much urging on
the part OF Count Andrassy. he con-
scented 10 name n suitable reward. and
chose portraits OF the Emperor Franz
Joseph and the Empress Elizabeth IN a
simple frame"

Novelty from the East

The latest Indication OF luxury I'm the
home is the introduction OF the throne,
an idea which has been borrowed. like
many others, from the Far East. Il
IS great Improvement over the ste-eo-
typed coy corner.
The throne is especially. desifable In
a room where there Is a high window
commanding a good view. 5donotorous
lines viii thus be broken. and the win
dow VIII be made useful.
The first step in the securing OF a
house throne is 10 erect a platform or
the desired height and size. II more
than eighteen inches high. steps should
lead 70 the platform. When finished.
the platform is carpeted or has a rug
thrown over it. The latter is usually
considered better. as it admits of clean
ing with less trouble than the carpet.
\ box couch. upholstered with good
springs, IS often set On the platform.
and over this an artistic drapery OF
tapestry Is thrown. Brfght-colOred
cushions 10 harmonic with the dra-
peries and rug help 10 make the corner
attractive.
The higd window beside the couch Is
curtained with n soft silk. chintz. OF
velvet. II the latter IS used. IL will
also make good poTtieres 10 naag over

portieres not only add 70 the artistic
effect but viii be found useful when

ions on the platform. 4 set OF book
shelves with books. and u space per

attractivencSs.
a high window IS not an absolute
necessity. A throne seen recently in a
living room was arranged n q dark
corner To- coy retreat. 1t was M

One OF the essentials OF good dressing

sham BattIe for Children

Warlike children's games, played with
perfumed paper flowers. bright colored
spears. dainty bows. and arrows, and
riding whips. are popular this season.
They are being used at many of the out
door parties given In the country and at
the seashore and mountain resorts.
The games are artistic because the
instruments OF war" are made OF such
gay colored crepe paper. When thrown
or shot they give Kaleidoscope effect
that Is remarkable. That the little folks
are delighted with the new plays called
Battle of the Flowers. Charge
OF the Spears Defense of the Ar
rows" and Whips" is demonstrated by
their screams of pleasure when they
line up ready for the onslaught. Bags
Of sachet are attached TO the ends Of
the spears, arrows, or on the ends OF
the whips. so that when a child is hit
even with a whip they will bend AMI

Of these unique games the side having

The Battle Of Flowers" is the pref
test OF these games. In playing the
game sides are chosen after two leaders
have been selected. The desire of each
captain, as the leader is called. is 20

straight. As many children can take
part in the battle as there are flowers

number on each side. When all have
been selected they march behind their
captains IN 4 straight line and right
about face on large space on the lawn.
Facing each other at a distance OF
about ten feet they stand at attention
until the leader gives out the ammuui-
ton. This consists OF large paper roses.

stems. With the flowers in their night

scent Of perfume on their clothing. The
ones who have been hit but not COW

The captains then count up the dead
and wounded. Then measuring off eight
feet. they face each other, and decide
the battle by throwing flowers at each
other If neither Is hit their duel is
continued until one is struck and cover
ed with sachet. The victory of the
captain often means the winning Of
the fight, for the success OF the leader
counts the same as If one-third OF the
fighters had been killed

XII AW & ERLANGER
VAUDEVILLE SUCCESS

In reference to Klaw & Erlanger
and vaudeville, Wilbur M. Mates,
their general representative, has this
to say:
"In the cloud of rumors that have
been flying about the country during
the past two months to the effect
that Klaw & Erlanger are to retire
from vaudeville, their remarkable
success in this direction has been
overlooked by some and purposely
disregarded by others, according to
personal inclination.
Not one of the old school Vaude-
Vile magnates ever dreamed that a
vaudeville performance could be put
together that would draw over 5O,OOO
people a week, yet this is what KlaW
& Erlanger have accomplished at the
Auditorium in Chicago. They have
made a similar record of great at
tendance at the Forrest Theatre in
Philadelphia, the fremont in Boston
and the New York Theatre in New
York.
'"The statements that they have re-
tired or are about to retire, from
vaudeville management because they
have failed are just about insane
enough to be considered comic para
