Phyxfcal Cnlfnre.

A rational system of physical cul- ture should insure to every man and woman who adopts it perfectly erect, poised figure, straight spine, broad, deep and capacious chest, uplifted and flexible, and harmonious development of all the muscles. He or she should be easy and graceful in every move ment, possessed of marked muscular power and endurance, splendid health and a voice of notable equality and power.
 So much would the rational system of physical development do for those who followed it, and any method which will not accomplish all of these things. even for its least promising students, is in so much incomplete and false. The object of physical culture methods is to render the body a more perfect in- strument, more strong, more enduring. more obedient, to the commands of the will.-Outing Magazine.

Laugh and Live Long.

It has been aptly said that there is not the remotest corner of the inlet of the minute blood vessels of the human body that does not feel some wavelet from the convulsions occasioned by good hearty laughter. The life princi- pie of the central man is shaken to it's innermost depths, sending new tides of life and strength to the surface, thus materially tending to insure good health to the persons who indulge therein. The blood moves more rapidly and conveys different impression to all the organs of the body as 1t visits them on that particular mystic journey when the man is laughing from that conveyed at other times. For this req son every good, hearty laugh in which person indulges tends to lengthen his life, conveying as it does new and dis tinct stimulus to the vital forces.

'PIANOPfIENDS' GIVE EXCELLENT ENTERTAINER
Edwina Barry, in the "Home Breakers is Most Amusing in Title Role
 at P0li's.

Jesse L. Lasky's musical novelty, 'The Pianophiends'', received a big re- ception from a large audience of first nighters at Poli's last night, the act headlining a good bill from start to finish. "The Pianophiends" was given for it's first time before a Bridgeport audience. Like many of the other Jasky acts this production is novel and original, spectacular and winning. The chief feature is the playing of duets on five pianos by nine pairs of hands. the execution being given Sinultan- eousIy. The effect of the five instru- ments being played at one time was most novel The company includes nine genuine musicians, four of whom are pretty girls.
 Several special musical numbers, vo- cal and instrumental, are introduced during the action of the piece. Among the solos there are several very attrac- tive numbers. In the grand finale the four girls mount the tops of, four up- right pianos and sing & chorus. The special setting used is elaborate and depicts the interior of a piano sales room in New York. There are five handsome pianos ornamenting the scene. The manager of the store and his corps of clerks attired in grey frock suits, and with silk "toppers'' handy, greet -four society belles on a shopping tour. The girls wish to try out the pianos and the duets follow. A dience thundered it's applause and half a dozen curtain calls were necessary. ''The Pianophiends" is easily one of MT. Lasky's most popular productions in Bridgeport.
 One of the most popular features of the bill is the Long Acre quartette, singing four who have not been equall- ed this season at Polls. The four possess remarkably well-trained and musical voices and render a series of pleasing selections. The Long Acres were given a rousing reception last night. The Jessettis. a remarkable European 'rdsley and Lilliputfan troupe. close the show with most sensational act, performing seemingly impossible feats. A comedy feature is given by two Lilliputians who are clever as well as funny.
 Edwina Barry, the diminutive com edienne, is appearing in Imaginable domestic farce written by her brother, Jimmie. The title is 'The Home breaker" The piece teens with ire sistible comedy situations. Miss Barry is assisted by William Richards and company of three. Goldie, Pealson & Lea, a trio of singing character com edians, present much Imaginable comedy and some good songs and stories. Wood Brothers, Irish athletes, do some marvellous double flying work and boomerang throwing. Rastus Brown, colored entertainer, is the candy "coon dancer. The motion pictures are rew and amusing.

turned to her sister and said with a quiet. incisive directness quite a vari- ance with all her previous moods: sally dear l want to speak a mo- ment to you quite frankly and, believe me. very earnestly. I know you don't usually credit me with much earnest ness: but this is about Joy. and that is always earnest with me-" All the motherhood in Mrs. Ogilvie answered to the call. She sat up with eager in tensity, receptive to the full and with out any disturbing chagrin. Judy went on:
 You have been thinking of your little girP-and actually speaking of her as such. This is the worst of mothers-their one fault. With them tire seems to stand still. The world goes flying by them, but in their eyes the child remains the same. Gold hair or black turns to white, wrinkles come. knees -rotter and steps become un- steady; but the child goes on-still, in the mothers eyes, dressing dolls and chasing butterflies. They don't even seem to realise facts when the child puts her own baby into the grand mothers arms. Look round for a mo- rlent where Joy is standing there out lined against the Moorfsh tower on the edge of the cliff. Tell me what you seer"
 "I see my dear beautiful little girl!" said the mother faintly.
 "Hm!' said Judy defiantly. That's not exactly what I see I agree with the dear and beautiful; she's all that and a thousand times more.''
 'Ten me what do you see. Judy!" said the mother in a whisper as sine laid a gentle hand imploringly on her sisters arm. She was trembling slight- ly. Judy took her hand and stroked it 'I know. I know!" The mother took heart from her tenderness and said in an imp1oring whisper:
 Be gentle with me. Judy. She is all II foa her ell <,yrvr,x from me-"
 Mot that-not yet at all events," she answered quickly. '"The time is coming no doubt. But it is because we should be ready for it that I want to speak. We least ought to know the exact truth!''

 stsrboard and Port.
 Why do the sailors call the right hand side of the ship "starboard" and the left hand ''port?" For the answer it is necessary to go back to the days of the Norsemen and Saxons. In the viking ships the warriors hung the "bords," or shields, on the side of the ship above the places for their oars The viking himself held the steer oar, which was fastened to the right hand side of the stern. Thus the right hand side of the ship became known as the steer side, and as the bords of the war riors were hung there it was called the ''steerbord,". or starboard side, while the lower, or lurking side, became the larboard. Bord eventually became cor rupted into port.

A DISORDERED STOMACH
 MEANS BAD BLOOD

Nine times in ten, stomach derange- mentS are responsible for sallow com pIexion, dull eyes, thin body and color less cheeks.
 It is the stomach that supplies nour- ishing blood to the muscles, the nerves, and skin. If the stomach is healthy, plenty of nutritious matter will be ab- sorbed by the blood. If it is not healthy, the food will ferment and un- digested, will pass along through the bowels, furnishing little nutritious matter that the blood becomes inn poverished, and the glow of health vanishes.
