Gymnasium TRAINING.

Every person who has received gym
nasium training Is aware Of the fact
that an exercise which calls for pain
full effort on the part of the beginner is
often performed almost without any
conscious effort at all after a certain
amount OF training has been received
Again, it is perfectly well known that
brute strength alone does not make
gymnast and that even simple exer-
else may offer great difficulty to mus
cular and well developed individual
who has not been trained in the gym
nasium. The explanation for this Is
made in an article by Professor Du
bois Raymond in Die Umshau. who
points out that one Of the essential
functions Of gymnasium work is not
so much to build up muscle as to train
nerves and nerve groups to work in
proper unison and coordination.

FLAGS at Hail Mast.

Ever since flags were used in war
it has been the custom to have the
flag Of the superior or conquering ma
ton above that of the inferior or van
pushed. When an army found itself
hopelessly beaten 1t hauled its flag
down far enough for the flag of the
victors to be placed above it on the
same pole. This was token not only
of submission. but OF respect. In those
days when Il famous soldier died flags
were lowered out OF respect to his
memory The custom long ago passed
from purely military usage to public
life of all kinds. the flag flying at half
mast being sign that the dead man
was worthy Of universal respect The
space left above it is for the flag of
the great conqueror of all. the ange! of
death.

which he described the method OF pro

cut away a piece of bone so that the
pressure on the brain might be re-
Geyed.
There are also records about this
time and later Of file being used for
this purpose, which at time when
anaesthetics were undreamed OF must
have been. to say the least, painful
According to DR.. T. Rice Holmes, the
operation OF removing pieces of bone
was performed long before historic
times. The effects on the skull are
easily seen after death and are visible
so long as the bones are preserved.
From inspection Of certain skulls of
the later stone age In ancient Britain
DR.. Holmes has come to the conclusion
that some Of these had undergone the
operation, which must have been per-
formed with a stone implement.-Lon-
