A Trait That Brands Them a. Un-
sociabls and Abrupt.

What complicated thing Is the
character of the Londoner. Out of
pure shyness he becomes disagreeably
abrupt. out Of pure fear Of intrusion he
becomes unsociable. A number of I'M
acquainted men In the same tramway
car will never think of entering into
conversation MS they would anywhere
else In the world. Silently they leave
the car as they entered 1t. And yet 1T
does not seem natural to me that they
should not prefer to converse. But
they arc afraid TO intrude; besides.
they have not been introduced"
Proper Introduction Is one of the
characteristics of the Londoner. In
Germany when man enters private
rl,cln containing people he does not
know or II no sits down at table
outside a restaurant-in fact. when
ever no comes tnto touch with stran-

this long time popularity and that Is to

once given fair trial for weak stomach.
or for liver and blood affections, its supe-
rtor curative qualities are soon manifest;
hence 1t has survived and grown In pop

articles have suddenly flashed into favor
for a brief period and then been as soon

lous than the twisted fipper on which
the sea lion props his great bulk In

which extends from the hinder part OF
the same. How can 1t be worth any
beasts while to carry such an absurd
apparatus with 1t just for the sake Of
getting out into the air sometimes and
pushing oneself about on the ice and
being eaten by polar bears? The por-
poise has discarded one pair, turned the
other into decent fms and recovered a
grace and power Of motion In water
which is not equaled by the greyhound

porpoise and the whale cradle their
newborn infants-it is so difficult to
pry into the domestic ways OF these
sea people-but evidently the seals
cannot manage 1t, so they are forced
to return to the land when the cares Of
maternity are on them.

who knew Mr.. Murphy at once began
sending In their entries, because they
had every confidence In him and felt
certain that everything in connection
with the Trenton fair races would be
handled more capably than ever be-
fore.
When Mr. Murphy told the horsemen
that the track had been made over and
would be one Of the finest half mile
rings in the country they believed him
Because Of this belief the very best
horses the half mile circuit has ever
known will be sent to Trenton. 1t has
been a long time since Trenton was a
real Mecca for light harness racing.
but this year, under the management
Of Horace Murphy, 1t bids fair to rank
at the front of all eastern fairs. And
this Is as II should be.
Secretary Murphy has arranged
most attractive program-one that will
not only please the horse owners, but
the horse racing public. Here Is the
list Of classes and the days to which
each race Is assigned:
Tuesday, Sept. 2s-2:N class. trotting,
500: 2:22 class, pacing, 500; 2:l9 class.
| trotting. 500.
| Wednesday Sept. 2s-2:17 class, pacing.

| tiers. 800.

Friday. Oct. 1-2;A class trotting. $500;
2:l2 class, pacing. $500; 2:1s class pacing
$500
All Of the good horses that have been
performing at Kutztown, Wilkesbarre,
Goshen, Wilmington, Bethlehem and
other Pennsylvania fairs have been
entered, together with the cream of
the good ones from the New York state
circuit
c. Earle Pitman has entered his en-.
tire stable, which includes the sen.
sational Lady Kate, Friendless and
others. 1t Is also certain that Good
Goods, the great Newtown Pa.) PAGER
that has been winning races and
smashing records, will be In line Eek
all. the fast Bordentown PAGER is an
other to be seen at the Trenton fair
1t is impossible to go over the list
but 1t should be sufficient to say that
the speed entries may reach the CRANE
total of 200 this year, and that means
the most remarkable half mile tracl
meet in recen. years.

ATHLETIC TRAINING.
To Acquire an Excess Of Muscle May
Prove Injurious.

Prove Injurious.
Nothing could be more elusive than
the idea that by a period Of athletic
training a man can lay In a stock of
health and strength upon which he can
draw later while engaged In seden-
tary occupation. The truth is that the
big muscles and hypertrophied heart
OF the athlete are perilous possessions
for the man who no longer has the
time or the inclination for using them.
When he stops the exercises by which
he gained them. instead of simply re-
turning to their original size they SUI
fer one or another Of the many forms
of degeneration and become incapable
OF performing their original services.
1t Is not quite true that all exercise
for its own sake Is harmless, for 1t Is
well to be prepared for the meeting of
life's little emergencies as well as Its
ordinary and daily demands, but 1t
probably Is true that. the emergencies
. apart, every man does enough In going
about his customary business and
pleasure to keep himself In the condi-
tIon which that business and pleasure
demand and that anything besides Is
superfiuous or injurious That athletics
take one into the open air is less a
commentator Of athletics than an In
dictment of our houses. offices and
stores for lack of adequate ventilation.
II all the air we breathe was pure air
we could get along well enough with
out any open air at all. Any man who
has the muscle he needs for doing the
things he wants to do and should do
has all the muscle he ought to have.
To acquire more is a silly waste OF
time and perilous besides.-New York
