When They wer. Real eypsies.

A group of half a dozen men and
women were gathered around a tea
table In New York drawing room the
other afternoon, when the talk turned
to odd ways of spending vacation.
One OF the young women. who is the
daughter of famous clergyman, con-
tributed to the discussion an account
of her experience last summer, when,
in the company Of two young English
women. she spent fortnight travelling
about through the southern portions
of England in one Of those purely
British conveyances, a caravan. The
young women were their own guides,
cooks and hostlers, and for the time
their outdoor journey lasted were veri-
table gypsies. Naturally they got sun
burned, and their simple costumes
soon showed the signs of wear and
tear, but they did not feel that they
had arrived at the state Of being con-
sidered really gypsy folk until one day.
when they were in Kent, the propri-
etor Of hop farm offered them a
'job" as hop pickers. That was high
water mark on the expedition.

tion. Try them. They are among the
best I know. (But remember that
mental concentration must be used
also in all other athletic practice)
Stand facing the wall of your room,
few feet distant from it. Put the
right foot forward, throwing the
weight of the body on 1t, drawing in a
full breath as you do so. Place the
right hand on the wall In front of you,
at the most convenient level (nearer
the height of the shoulder than the
height of the waist), and, bracing
yourself, push. Push as though you
were trying to push the wall down.
This must not .e done jerkily, nor, on
the other hand, too slowly. Then.
bringing back the right foot, and bring
ing the body again to an upright pos
ture. bring forward the left foot and
place the left hand on the wall instead
of the right. Push again as before.
Recover your upright posture, let out
the long breath slowly, draw in an
other and repeat the performance, be-
ginning again, of course, with the
right hand and right foot.
DO this six times the first day. in
creasing at the rate of two per day un.
til you get It up to twelve. Now.
when pushing. every single muscle Of
the body must be at work Push as
though you felt that the wall would
topple over on you unless you pushed
1t back. That is the only way in which
this splendid exercise can do you any
good. II you are going to let your
mind wander to any other subject you
might as well not push at all. Done
with mental concentration, this is per-
haps the best exercise for all the mus
cles.
Now here is another mental con-
centration exercise" for developing
the grip, the wrist and the forearm.
Crumple up In each hand a large
sheet Of newspaper till it is a com.
pact ball. Stand upright, chest out,
arms at the sides. Squeeze each of the
paper wads steadily and as hard as
you can, without moving any part of
the arm-or, indeed, any part OF the
body except the fingers. Keep every
muscle OF the whole body tense as you
do this. and press as II your life de-
pended on 1t. Relax the grip slowly,
and tighten 1t again, equally slowly.
Do this 20 times the first day, increas-
ing by two day until you get 1t up to
40. Notice some time how the fore
arm muscles stand out while you are
going through with this exercise, and
you will get some idea OF its benefit.

The most important detail to re-
member in taking up athletics is the
fact that you will improve only as long
as you keep your entire mind on what
you are doing. You can stand and
swing dumE-bells or pull at chest
weights for an hour at time and II
your mind is elsewhere all the exer-
else will not do you an atom OF good.
Did you ever see boy in school sit
ting with his book held up in front of
him, merely trying to deceive the
teacher into the idea that he was
busy? Well, that boy gained fully as
much knowledge from the book he was
not reading as you will get from ath-
letic exercises into which you do not
put your whole heart and soul. The
boy who pretends to study when he is
really loafing is dishonorable toward
his teacher. The would-be athlete who
does not put his mind on his work is
acting dishonorably toward all that is
best in his physical makeup.
Rolandow, who is, with the possible
exception of Sandow, the strongest
living man. declares this mental con-
centration is the whole secret of ath-
letic prowess. He says he owes his
evolution from a nervous weakling in
to a giant to the fact that he put all
his heart into every athletic exercise
he went through.
There is much truth in what he
says, and on somewhat the same idea
is based more than one of the get
strong" methods taught by the vari-
GUS physical culture professors who
advertise in many of the papers.
Here are one or two exercises de-
pendent entirely on mental concentra-

you to use no dumb-bells weighing
