PHYSICAL EXERCISE.
Do You Take Enough to Keep Your
Arteries In Condltlon2

Do You Take Enough to Keep Your
Arteries In condition2
Dr. Woods Hutchinson. In criticising
the different fads of exercise In Out
ing, says:
'The worst error of exercise, the
most dangerous fad OF physical Gull
ture, is not to take enough Of 1t and
to sneer at every form of 1t that does
not bear the dollar mark. BY one of
those cynical poetic justices OF nature
the very men who denounce all phys
lcal culture and recreation as fads are
those who pay the heaviest personal
penalty for this delusion. They use the
vigor they have gained In early youth
In natures open air school to chain
themselves to the desk, to bury them
selves In dungeon-liSe offices or airless
workrooms twelve or fourteen hours a
day. They feel fine and are sure they
are going to live to be hundred, but
one day, to their astonishment, a little
artery whose coat has been hardened
for twenty years unnoticed becomes
30 brittle that 1t snaps suddenly, and
down they go with stroke Of paraly-
sis, like a winged duck. 1t Is never
safe to jeer at the gods, whether the
imaginary ones of Olympus or the real
ones of modern science.
"The men who jeer loudest at phys
zeal culture and who sarcastically ad-
wise college and high school students,
ambitious for gymnasia or athletic
fields, to go and git bucksaw and
cord of wood or hoe and a potato
patch and develop their muscles like
did when was boy are the very
ones who die suddenly when they
should be In their prime for lack of
exercise and open air recreation. 1t is
really an astonishing thing how many
giants OF industry and transportation,
particularly executive railroad men,
die or suddenly go to pieces between
fifty and sixty years of age 1t is a
common saying in railroad circles that
a big general superintendent or de-
partment chief will seldom live beyond
forty-eight to ffty-ive years Of age
Many break down before that"

Tho ARABIAN Niahts.v

The collection of tales called the
Thousand and One Nights" or the
Arabian Nights" is Of unknown date
and authorship. 1t was first made
known in Europe about the end of the
seventeenth century by Antoine Gal
land, who was employed by Colbert to
collect manuscripts I'm the east. The
copy Of the Arabic manuscript brought
by Galland from Syria contained
marginal note dated 1884, and from in
ternai evidence the middle of the If
teenth century has been fixed upon as
the probable period Of the composition
OF the work. Some Of the tales were
evidently borrowed by the writer from
other authors, and Won Hammer iden-
titles at least the plot and some Of the
stories Of the Arabian Nights" with
an earlier collection In Persian called

HARTLAND.

collection of Woody Vines and
Shrubs -: Shortly afterward the
judges of the school exhibits decided
that the prize should 60 to the
BONNEVILLE school. In some ways
this was an unfortunate decision and
the Nature club regrets the incident.
Protest was made almost Immediately
by other teachers, that the judges
had overlooked fundamental point
in the offer of the prize, which was
to go to the school which prepares
the best collection of budded twigs
aud bark taken from the shrubs and
wooded vines native to Hartland.
Examination by rivals had shown
that the Jenneville school exhibit, a
most tasteful one, and worthy in
every way, was largely composed of
specimens of trees. This matter
was called to the attention of the
judges, snd after expressing regret
at their misunderstanding or misin-
formation on the matter, careful
examination has been made. 1t
shows that the exhibits ranked as
follows:
Jenneville school, AZ specimens,
~ being correct; Weed school, 81
specimens, SO being correct; Bates
school, 40 specimens, "a being cor
rect, others correct but uot in book;
Hartland primary, AZ specimens, all
correct but one which was correctly
named but not in book serving as
guide; Hartland grammar, GO speci-
mems, At correct. OF the remainder
the larger portion were correct, but
not in book used as a guide. The
judges therefore decided that the
prize really belonged to the Hartland
Grammar school and the club gives
consolation prize to the Jenneville
school. They also give special rec
ignition to the artistic arrangement
of the Weed school exhibit.
