Training in Health.
10 Columbus Journal.

from the COIumDu8 JOur0al
It belongs to the common schools to
teach the laws Of health and make them
a part Of the school discipline, but they
have no business to specialize physical
defects. That serves to increase them
We don't want a school full Of the con-
seriousness Of sore eyes, rotten teeth, In
famed nasal passages and tuberculosis
tendencies. What is wanted, and that
want bounds the common sense Of the
matter. is a wideawake teacher who sees
to 1t that every pupil knows and obeys
the laws Of general health, which include
the laws relating to all the special func-
tons and organs Of the body.
This course puts q responsibility on
boy which he feels, and which Is a sum-
NIT of education: and ii contributes an
independence which is the basis of his
manhood. Why, this matter Of physical
education can be made one Of the most
effective OF the training processes. It ex-
ats the development Of the whole man.

does with the boys deficiency in spelling,
arithmetic. attendance and department..
We want to see done what Is best for
the children. but we don't think that hll-
ing the schools with talk Of maladies and
physical defects will accomplish it. Nor
will it educate the community, which is
really the thing needed. In order that the
parent. and not the state, shall assume
responsibility for the boy. II this is not
done. where will the responsibility end?

Friendship and Business.
m the Haverhill Gazette.

From the Haverhill Gazette.
The man who is not a familiar face
in the business places of his home town
is not a man who attracts many bust
ness friendships. He creates very little
good will People buy of him if they
have to. if they find that he has bar
gains that they simply can't resist, but
when things are about even they never
go out of their way to serve him. Such
a man gets a reputation for cold isola-
ton, and If he wins it is by sheer hard
work and friendships never help him.
A great many Of the prizes of life go
by favor. The fellow who feels inter-
ested In his townsmen, who takes every
opportunity to throw a good business
deal in the way of neighbOr, has Gre
ated a host of friendly and willing in
debtors These favors are not forgotten
They may seem bread cast upon the
waters of a ShorelesS sea- Then some
day. when he least expects it, along
comes some man to whom he has done
business favor, to whom it Is a pleasure
to make some return.
Here is explained the mysterious ease
with which some fellows get along in life.
They never seem to work as hard as
others. But they have a genius for bust
ness friendship, they throw business ia
vors to friends whenever possible. they
buy everything possible of their towns
men They create such a host of business
allies that by and by they find what

and believe in returning favors and re-

''BUY-AT-HOME" CARDS
PLACED IN STREET CARS
Board of Trade Taking Active Part
In Campaign to Benefit
the City.

The Board Of Trade is taking an active
part in the campaign to show the resi-
dents of Washington why they should
make their purchases from local mer
chants, and not go to otner cities for the
things they can buy at home. Placards
urging the people of Washington to buy
at home" have just been placed in many
of the street cars of the District. They
are signed by the Board of Trade.
This form of advising the people OF
Washington to make their purchases at
home and also of boosting business in
this city will be kept up by the Board of
Trade for a number of months. Members
of the board believe that in the interests
of trade here it is necessary not only
to bring the people of nearby states to
Washington to buy, but also to keep the
residents of Washington at home when
they wish to make purchases. The COM
mittee on industrial interests has had
charge OF the matter of advertising in the
street cars.
In line with this campaign is the effort
being made by the Board of Trade,
Chamber of Commerce and Retail Mer
chants Association to compel itinerant
merchants who come here to make sales
of goods at greatly reduced prices for a
day or two to take out licenses. a sub
committee of the industrial interests COM
mittee of the board. consisting of E. II.
Droop, w. ]. Eynon and w. II. Martin,
has been appointed to draft recommends
tons in regard to this. 1t is expected the
subcommittee will recommend that a
charge of from $50 to $50 day be made
for licenses.
The committee on charities and correc-
tons of the board drafted it's annual re-
port and recommendations, which will be
submitted at the next meeting of the
board, November 13.

Sanctuaries in England.


Dr. Cox, in his book "Sanctuaries and
Sanctuary Seekers in Medieval Eng
land" prints a hitherto unpublished list
of fugitives in Westminster. bearing date
June %, 1882. 1t contains fifty names
As many as eighteen of this number had
sought protection for debt. Eleven were
accused OF murder or manslaughter and
sixteen of felony: one, whose crime was
'roberye comytted upon the sea-" looks
like a pirate. One of the fugftives from
justice had been there for almost twenty
years. No one of distinction appears
who by ingenuity or good luck thus con
trfyed to escape or postpone punishment.
Clearly the raison detre OF the place
had ceased to be.
The last fugitive of note seems 10 have
been John SHELTON; he had libeled VOL
sey. and. escaping arrest from the car
dinal's officers, took sanctuary, where he
was well received by the abbot, to
whom Wolsey was naturally a persona
ingrata. There was curious attempt To
retain the institution by the legislation
of 1870, when, in obvious imitation of the
Hebrew cities of refuge. eight towns
were declared to be Sanctueries, but
with well defined limitations; no place
was TO receive more than twenty men.
The towns selected did not like the
honor. Manchester succeeded in trans
ferring the privilege to Chester, and
Chester again to Stafford. Early in the
seventeenth century the whole system
ceased to be. London possessed another
sanctuary in st. Martin lie Grand. Ii
1t had no strong controlling force such as
existed at Westminster. OF provincial
sanctuaries the most famous were at
Durham and Beverley.
