Seventeen Girls Join in, Incorporating
the Dot Society,"

the Dot Society.
81 solemnly VOW that will not wed
until have earned with my own hands
a dowry of $780,"
The above is the pledge seventeen
fair maids of New York have taken.
AS evidence of sincerity they have in
corporated under New York state laws
as the Dot society, have purchased an
acre of land at Northport. n. Y, and
have made arrangements to become
farmers.
Two years must elapse, according to
their optimistic calculations, before
they will be able to marry, and several
of them. 1t is admitted are engaged
now. They have agreed that marriage
nowadays requires that the bride shall
have money besides beauty. and so
they intend TO silence the wedding
bells until the entire $500 is amassed.
Miss Abba Newlin Brown of New
York city is the originator and presi-
dent of the Dot society. The financing
of the movement has fallen to her and
Miss Charlotte NJ Robson, who lives
in Boston at present. and Miss Eliza
beth Gardener Phillips. who is living In
Philadelphia temporarily. Each con-
tributed a third of the $500 paid for
the land. and they will supply the
funds with which to erect the house in
which the girl farmers will live.
The other fourteen young women will
be asked to pay certain sum. but this
will be neca isary to purchase farming
| implements and other accessories and
to maintain the group until they are
able TO put their produce on the mar
! ket.
| Parental objection has been strong
In the cases of all seventeen maidens,
but they have succeeded in having
their way.
II suppose most folks. will think we
are lot of spinsters who have hill

said Miss Brown the other day to re-
| porter of the New York Americana, "but

The ORIGIN of MASSAGE.


China claims to have originated mas

Chinese ideas. life Is entirely depend
ent on lair currents" which are desig-
mated as the primary aura of the or
ganism. So long. then. as the body Is
permeated by the air current it is proof
against disease. and the object OF phys
ical exercise is to circulate the air cur
rent. To effect this the Chinese system
is divided into three periods. each pc
riod occupying Il hundred days. the
first period commencing at the time of
the new moon. The patient must rise
at o'clock in the morning and walk
outside his house. taking seven deep
inspirations. and Immediately after this
two youths who have been specially
trained commence Il gentle friction all
over the body, starting over the cardiac
area. At the time of full moon fur
Their set Of respiratory exercises are
taken. Later on. in the second period.
the various parts of the body are rub
bed with wooden planks until the mus
cles are hardened. and it is not until
the hardening takes place that the real
physical exercises are taken. Between
the fifth and sixth months is the period
of greatest activity, the European
dumbbell being replaced by large sacks
| filled with stones 1t is in the third
| period that the back muscles are chief
| ly exercised.
