RIGHT KIND OF EXERCISE.
Some Practical Advice that Everyone
should Have.

Some Practical Advice that Everyone
Should Have.
The kind of exercise that hits the
own sake; and the kind man likes
for its oyn sake has something of the
play spirit in 1.-THE life and go of a
good game. The good a man gets out
Of good horseback ride In the park is
something more than what comes sim
ply from the activity Of his muscular
system or from the effect of the con-
slant jolting upon the digestive organs.
There Is the stimulus to the whole sys-
tenn which comes from his filling his
lungs with fresh, out-of-door air. There
Is the exhilaration of sunshine and blue
sky and of the wind on the skin. There
is the excitement of controlling a rest
i've animal. All this makes the phe-
nomenon a complex one-something
much larger than the mere term exer-
else would imply. A man could sit on
mechanical horse in a gymnasium
and be jolted all day without getting
any Of these larger effects.
The best forms Of exercise will call
the big muscles of the body into play
the muscles that do the work. This
gives bulk effects. 1t reaches the whole
system. Playing scales on the plano,
though exhausting to oneself and 9TH
ers, does not belong to this class.
Exercise should not be too severe.
Many ambitious people injure them
selves through trying to accomplish too
much along this line. Where the mind
Is already tired the body can only lose
by few moments of violent exertion.
Exercise breaks down tissue, exhausts
nerve energy. If any good is to be
gained from 1t this body waste must
be repaired. But when the system IS
already exhausted, 1t cannot afford an
additional expenditure. A city man
with conscience is in danger Of max.
Ing too hard work Of his exercise when
he takes 1t at all.-World's Work.

GRANDFATHER.

How broad and deep was the fireplace old
And the great hearthstone how vide
There was always room for the old mans
chair
BY the coy chimney side,
And all the children that cared to crowd
At his knee in the evening tide.
Room for all of the homeless ones
Who had nowhere else to go;
They might bask at ease in the grateful
warmth
And sun in the cheerful glow,
For grandfather's heart was as wide and
warm
As the old fireplace, l know.
And he always found at his Widespread
board
Just room for another chair;
There was always rest for another head
On the pillow of his care
There was always place for another name
In his trustful morning prayer.
Oh, crowded world with your jostling
throngs
How narrow you grow, and small;
How cold, like a shadow across the heart,
Your sel6shness seems to fall.

wide,
And the welcome awaiting all.

The farmer has a real grievance
against the poultry fancier, in that he
has done all of his crossing and in
breeding Of fathers, daughters, uncles
and aunts without any regard to prac-
tical utility, says Farming. Whether
the hens from which he has been breed
ing were producing sixty eggs year
or 200 made no difference. His whole
aim has been to breed out foul flight
feather or two, or to create better
comb, or eyes Of better tint, at a
sacrifice of everything else. The result
Is that when farmer goes into the
market to buy thoroughbreds with his
money In his pocket, ready and willing
to pay for the best stock, he not only
often pays for qualities he does not
need, but actually pays a premium for
something that has been obtained at a
sacrifice Of the very qualities which he
does need. There are few men, how
ever, raising thoroughbred stock that is
bred to lay" or to meet certain mar
ket demands. and those are the men
that should be patronized.

Seven Billions I'm Crops.

For years the agricultural production
Of the United States has been steadily
increasing and during the last three or
four years this increase has been by
leaps and bounds. Last year it was
announced that our farms had yielded
the almost unthinkable value of $4,-
915,OOO,OO0 as compared with $4,000
100000 for 1904 and $4,4SO, 100000 for
1908.
This enormous production has called
forth many pessimistic statements. We
have been repeatedly told that such a
pace could not long be maintained; that
diminished yields and agricultural de-
preston must soon come. Brt the end
is not yet.
Farm production was thought to have
reached Its highest point in 1905, but
this year has far eclipsed all others
and rolled up total which now prom
ises to reach the stupendous sum of
$T,0O0,O 0O, 000.-Farming.

TREASURES OF BURIED CITY.

Much Expected from the Proposed
Excavation of HercuIaneum.
Every archaeologist and student of
the arts and literature of the ancient
world will hope for the realization Of
the expectation that a way has been
found to overcome Italian objections to
the excavation of Herculaneum. These
objections, based on a proud reluctance
to have the development of Italian an
tiquities made matter of foreign in
PREVENTION, have heretofore seemed to
be as formidable as those presented by
the lack Of funds and by the compact
concrete in which the ancient Roman
city Is imbedded. If the first-named OBJ
stacle has been softened by tact and
diplomacy the modern world Of learn
ing and of science can be depended
upon to furnish the solvent for the 9TH
erS.
The worlds especial interest in the
buried treasures Of Herculaneum has
its explanation in the circumstances Of
the disaster which overwhelmed the
city and in the character of the people
who lived in it. The little excavation
that has been done, rendered extremely
difficult by the existence of a modern
city above the buried one and from
the nature Of the material itself, has
means another Pompeli. The latter
city was commercial chiefly. 1t has
yielded to the explorers valuable treas
ures, but 1t must be remembered that
Its fate and that of its sister city diff
fered in that Herculaneum was buried
far deeper and in a material that eff
fectively prevented the immediate un-
covering and ransacking Of the ruins,
which in the case Of Pompeii accounts
for the removal of all household uten-
sils and the majority Of the works Of
art and of contemporary literature.
Moreover, Herculaneum was the fash
ionable summer resort of wealthy Ro-
mans, not merely a provincial CONNER
cial town.
There is field for fascinating specu-
lation as to what treasures the still
buried city may contain. In the SIM
gle house that has been opened no few
er than LOO manuscripts were recov-
cred. These were the collection of a
specialist in Epicurean philosophy and
In so far not especially valuable to the
modern student, but the probability
that the villa libraries still fast In the
cemented mud of Vesuvius may contain
many Of the lost works of ancient writ
ers makes the quest unique. The find
ing of the lost lyrics of Sappho, AL.
caeus and Simonides or the tragedies
of Phrynichus, of whom Arlstophanes
speaks, or the comedies of the rivals
Of Aristophanes himself, Cratinus and
Ameipsias, or Of lost histories of
Greece and Rome, is possibility and
lends zest to the labors of Prof. Wald-
stein and those who have worked with
him to bring about the opening of the
buried city.-Philadelphia Ledger.
