SpLENnlD EXERCISE.

Hopping is one of the best exercises for developing muscles. It is easy to do. too. for the movement consists of jumping first on one foot and then on the other, so that the whole weight of the body will be borne by one foot and leg for one or more min utes. This exercise improves the way of carrying the body when walking for it develops balance as well as muscle. This exercise should be talk en when going to bed and the windows should be open, so there will be pIen- ty of fresh air in the room. While hopping breathe deeply.

THE NEGRO AS A PECULIAR RACE
Its Disadvantages and Its Advantages
 Are Noticed

We are peculiar people. We can not escape that fact, When people see us on the street, whether they think we'll or ill of us as race, they take notice of us and they set the memory of us apart in a mental compartment by itself
 When an lrishman goes staggering along the street, people look at him. Perhaps they are amused, perhaps they are disgusted, but they may not notice that he is an Irishman. They do not say, There goes an Irishman, the Irish are all drunkards.'
 These same people, seeing a negro standing on the corner, indolently supporting a lamp-post, will take note of that fact. They identify him not as member of their race, whom they feel they understand, but as mem ber of that other race, whose homes they never enter, and whose thoughts and aspirations they do not fully com prehend. So we are a peculiar race.
 Now this has some disadvantages, but it has some advantages. We our selves know that our thoughts and feelings are pretty much like those of other people, and we do not relish be- ing treated as aliens.
 That is one of the disadvantages. There are others.
 On the other hand, this distinction which the race confers on us is an ad- vantage in so far as it gives us a pe- culiar opportunity to help each other. Every time negro does a superior piece of work. every tune he makes writes a good poem, or does any pc culiarly brave and generous act, he helps the whole race. There is nc one who does so much good or SC much harm to us as another member of our own race This is not true, to the same extent at least. of any other race in the country.
 We want to get close together We want to know the persons in our race who are doing us good, and the per sons who are doing us harm We want. as T. Thomas Fortune once finely said, ''to damn our criminals and glorify our heroes.
 To tell the story of the progress of our race in all it's branches; to make our people more thoughtful about those things that concern our welfare as a race. to avoid controversy over trivial things. and to raise up and dig nifty and give importance to the es- sential things-that is the policy of this paper. That is why it is pub- l lished-New York Age.
