DANGERS OF sEDENTAaY LIFE.
english Physician Points Out Positive
Necessity for Exerton.

A very good illustration of the dan.
gers attending a sedentary life is
given by Sir William Grove, who OBJ.
served the effects Of activity and in.
activity on animals. He says:
TO keep itself healthy, it must ex.
ert itself for it's food; this, and per
maps the avoiding it's enemies, gives
1t exercise and care. brings all it's
organs into use. and then it acquires
Its most perfect form of life. 1 have
witnessed this effect myself, and that
is the reason why choose the rabbit
Us an. example. An estate I'm, Sonisr.
setshire, which I once took temporari.
ly, was on the slope of the Mendip
hills. The rabbits on one part of it..
VIZ, that on the hillside, were in per-
1ect condition, not too fat, nor too
thin, sleek, active and vigorous and
yielding to their antagonists, my fam
lily, excellent food. Those in the val
ley, where the pasturage was rich and
luXuriant, were all diseased, most of
them unfit for human food, and many
lying dead on the fields. They had
not to struggle for life, their short
life was miserable, and their death
early; they wanted the sweet uses Of
adVersity-that is. Of antagonism.

READ THE WRITER'S OF TODAY.
American intellectual Life Shaped b.
Living Authors.

The journeymen writer's write
almost all that almost all Amer
leans read, says Walter Page in
the Atlantic. This is fact
that we love to fool ourselves
about. We talk about literature"
and we talk about "hack writer's" i'm.
plying that the reading we do is of lit
erature. The truth all the while Is,
we read little else than the writing Of
the hacks-living hacks, that Is, men
and women that write for pay. We
may hug the notion that our life and
thought are not really affected by cur
rent literature, that we read the liv-
ing writer's only for utilitarian reasons
and that our real intellectual life Is
fed by the great dead writer's. But
our hugging this delusion does not
change the fact that the intellectual
life even of most educated persons,
and certainly Of the mass Of the popu.
Iation, is fed chiefly by the writer's OF
our own time. Let us hope that the
great writer's Of the past do set the
standards whereby few Judge the
writing of the present. But, even II
this be true, 1t is still true also that
the intellectual life Of the American
people is chiefly shaped by current
writing.

WAS SOMETHING NEW to- NORA.
Domestic Evidently Had Had No Ex.
perience with Chamois Skin.

One morning a physician of Hart
ford, observing that his office windows
were anything but clean, called his
Irish domestic and instructed her to
wash the James before he returned to
the house. "On my way I'll buy a
chamois skin, which you may use for
the purpose" he said to Nora, "and
I'll have 1t sent Immediately"
That afternoon, when the medico re.
turned, he noticed that his windows
were thickly streaked with grease.
Whereupoa he summoned Nora, and
the following coIloquy ensued:
Didn't instruct you to clean those
windows?"
"Yis, sor."
"And tell you to use the chamois
akin?"
"Tis, sor."
Then why haven't you done as you
were ordered?"
II did, sor"
Let me see that chamois," de
mandcd the doctor. The girl prompt.
ly brought it, and it was then that
the doctor learned for the first time
that his wife had left the house be-
fore him and lad sent home some

Some Important discoveries have

burial customs of the Canaanitcs. The

caves. as Abraham deposited the body
Of Sarah. The caves were either
natural hollows in the rock, such as
abound in Palestine, or artificially
formed excavations, usually roughly
circular. On the hoov of these caves
the body was laid, in contracted DO
sition. Stones were placed round it
and earth strown over it. For the use

NAVY RE0RGAhZEO

SANTA BARBARA, Cal, Jan. 1S.--
Radical reorganization OF the navy
should be undertaken at once, in the
opinion OF Rear Admiral McCalla, ex-
pressed Ia an iateFriew. The lack OF
preparation OF this country for posi-.
BILE war should demand early and
serious consideration. He said:
Other nations have made mistakes
In building warships, and, with a navy
department under a civilian secretary,
a department with eight different bu-
reaus and civilian secretaries, ruinous
mistakes are only what might be ex-
pected
Building and organizing a navy re-
quire experience. II would be no more
foolish TO put a lawyer or a doctor In
charge Of a great railroad than Il is
to put a civilian at the head OF the
navy.
Besides an adequate navy, for
which our people have begun to show
an appreciation, II is highly important
to have at least the skeleton OF an
army.
Now we have not officers enough
to train or command large force or
arms enough TO equip It; and. in case
OF disaster 10 the feet. we should be
helpless In repelling an invasion. This
was made painfully apparent in the
Spanish war. but the lesson has not
been learned"
