PHYSICAL CULTURE.
AS Good For the Business Man as For
the Soldier In training.


If physical culture is needed for
those who bear arms IL defense of the
country why should il not be applied
alsD to the soldiers Of the business and
professional world, the men in the com
mcrcial trenches: If a certai. lumber
OF our citizen are compelled to 20
through a rigid course Vi physical train
ing, why should not all others be called
upon TO follow suit?
The soft Eluscled clerk. the devital-
lied student. the oyerworked business
man-tbey need awakening. Now, in
many instances they are but little
more than human ciphers, p, 80 or -
per cent men. With a little properly
directed exercise they could be fitted
for the ranks Of the 100 per centers.
Six hours weekly, two hours for
three days each week, would put the
average fabby muscled, sedentary
worker in fine shape 1t would square
his shoulders, stiffen his backbone, put
some energy and enthusiasm into his
makeup. 1t would make a real man Of
him.
Every man who is not in training
should begin now. If he cannot train
with other men let him follow a system
of home. training. Hard muscles,
strong, stable nerves, high grade en-
durance-in short, a physique as "hard
as nails"-should be the ambition Of
every sensible man.-Physical Culture

BRIGHT BOYS AND GIRLS.
The Head and Physical Marks of Intel
Iigence In Children.

In summing up his conclusions on
the relationship Of intelligence to the
size and shape of the head Karl Pear
son is quoted in the Journal of Hered-
ity as making these statements about
the intelligence of children:
ITO sum up then while no charac-
fers in school children so far dealt With
show very high correlation. with intelli-
gence, we may yet say that the intelli-
gent boy is markedly conscientious, is
moderately robust. athletic and popu,
lar; he tends rather to quick than to
sullen temper. He is more self con
sciOus and quieter than the dun boy;
he has a slightly bigger head and pos
sibly lighter pigmentatiOn than those
OF more mediocre intelligence. His hair
has a larger percentage Of curliness.
"The intelligent girl is also markedly
conscientious, moderately robust ath-
Ietic and popular. She, too, tends TO
quick rather than sullen temper. She is
less self conscious than the dull girl
and nOisier than the girl of mediocre
intelligence. 1t is the slow girl who is
quiet and shy. The intelligent girl has
a slightly bigger head than the dull
girl, and her hair is more likely to be
waVy and much less likely to be curly"

ALFONSO'S PLIGHT
King of Spain Has 0verpIayed
His Popularity.
ONCE STOOD WELL WITH ALL

His YOUTH, Physical Energy and Gen
uine Interest In Welfare of His Coun-
try Made a Great Appeal to the Pop
uIar Imagination, but Recent Events
Have Changed Opinion.
Barcelona, Spain.-Fiye years ago a
Spanish republic was but a wild dream
IN the minds of a few irrecOncilable
extremists. The Republican leaders
had no prestige whatever in the cOun-
try at large. and their following was
being reduced TO a mere handful. The
causes of this were, of course, many.
but everybody agreed that among them
the personal influence of the king was
paramount. That young sovereign
seemed to be chosen by fate or Proyi-
dence to gather around him all sections
of his people and lead them united to
great destinies. Today things have al
together changed. This is no exagger-
alton, but the naked truth plainly
stated.
a little retrospect is necessary for
the better understanding of the present

PUTTING the Cat out a. Niaht.

The practice of turning the cat out OF
doors at night is as cruel as it is I'M
necessary. No animal is fonder Of
warmth and comfort, and the pets hap
piness certainly is not increased by Il
night spent outside in cold and damp
ness.
If as much energy was exhausted in
keeping the cat indoors as too often is
expended in putting her out, how great
would be the boon to human nerves
and unfortunate wild things! All fe-
lines are normally nocturnal, and it is
at night, if ever, that curb on their
activities is needed.-Lee S. Crandall,

FACING THE CAMERA.
Don't Dress Up and Don't Pose When
Having Picture Taken.


There are many things l would like
to say to the woman who intends hav-
ing her picture taken" said a famous
photographer the other day.
MANY women come to me and say:
OF course you prefer taking actresses.
They must have many advantages over
those women who never have time but
to give an occasional glance in their
mirrors This is entirely a mistake.
The conscious pose never makes a sat,
isfactory portrait. l would say EN-
phatically to the woman who goes to
have her photograph made not to re.
hearse her pose and facial expression
beforehand.
II always find it difficult to impress
on the woman coming to my studio
that clothes and jewels are of abso.
Iutely no account in photograph. Ifsa
woman comes to be photographed in
the clothes she is used to wearing she
will feel at ease and therefore look her
best
lone of the curses of our present day
civilization is the ever changing ques-
tion of fashion. How much more civ
ilized were the Japanese, who realized
that the kimonO was perhaps the most
perfect dress for women at all times
who only varied it with different bro
cades and girdles. The photograph that
concerns itself with clothes is soon out
of fashion, and no matter how good
likeness of the face has been obtained,
the picture is grotesque in few years
because the clothes are passe."
