Once beyond the 1'Ama1dS of modera tion, physiWal exercie aid physical training lot ouly weakon the heart for a lifetime, predisposO to pneumonia, caus. pulmoary lui culoss and make extra possible a dozen other ills, but they uannt a man fr bo beiag the ideal husbaud and father. Dr. Robert E. Coughlia of Brooklyn, says the Nev York Times, has been collecting statisz!es upon and follow ing teC careers ofathletes for years. ie exam-ed lh cotestants in ama Tcur wox matches, and the abnormal develomraenlt of the best of them struck him. Magnicently developed as to thei-r muscles, they were far from be ing men of normal health and strength. Beyond a certain point the muscular training was at the expense of their vitality. It took away from the heart and lungs. There was scarcely an or gan of the system not affected and made less eflicient. It seemed worth while to explore further into the cause. "In regard to the benefit to be de rived from athletics." says the doctor. "one has only to remember the physiol ogy of exercise to become convinced of the fact that exercise, per se, may be very beneficial. The point to bear in mInd is to advise the person to stop before fatigue becomes evident. We ean do this readily when the athlete is interested in games for the mere exer else, but such advice cannot be offered when his aim is to excel in an athletic contest. Here is where athletics do great harm, and it would be a safe rule to advise against all forms of athletics in the nature of a contest. "Athletics may be said to be bene icial rutil the heart begins to be mark edly hypertrophied. This is the dan er signal." Hyrsertrophied is the medical nan's w (-o saying enlarged-that is. the vals or umseles of the heart increase n size. Though this is the "danger signal," there is no real danger here, only a warning. The danger comes when, in consequence of additional ex ertion, the heart dilates, its interior rows larger. displacing the delicate machinery, causing the valves to leak. Then come "murmurs," and though a :nan may live for years with weakened valves he may die any day and any oment. Does physical exercise, then, build up the general health and make a better man out of a man? There seems to be a question, with some scientific men saying today very em phaticaily, 'Not unless that physical eercise is very moderate indeed." Health, one of the big English au thorities (Sir Michael Foster) puts it, does not exist. It is like happiness. Each has a goal or limit which, while seemingly attainable, eludes perfect Possession. The body consists of a number of mechanisms which have the losest and most exact relations, and as they approximate to harmony there s health, but when disordered there is ill health. Not necessarily does a man by phys ical training and much exercise be ome a better man, nor does he even :et better health- Here is the striking vidence of it in scientific statements f the day. To obta.in good health, muscle build ing is not a necessity. One cannot udge of a person's health by the size and hardness of the muscles.\ We ave seen that the converse may be true. To obtain health one must not e in a perfectly trained condition ow ing to the effects of severe training on the nervous system. There is no evi :ence to prove that athletics and mus le building improve the constitution. One should always keep in mind the fact that built up or hypertrophied muscle has a tendency to degenerate. The heart, being a muscular organ, shares in this tendency. But the athlete is a man who goes hrough the severest physical strain and training. If he boxes, runs, is a ymnast, a football player, a wrestler, n expert at baseball or tennis, any sport requiring violent exercise and the constant keeping in trim for it, all he rest of his body is sacrificed for the overdevelopment of these special :uscles, and the rest of it must some how suffer. Al the body should develop together, as it were. Body and mind should be built up evenly. If overathletics does othing else kt produces a wearing and tearing nervous strain. Wha it comes to the actual athlete, the aan- who specializes on some form f hysicalI force and muscle power, these condid~ons are greatly aggrav-at ,d. Severe athletic training and inns :l building, it is now an acknowledged fact of science, are at the expense of th nerv.ous and glandular sysitims. A:1 experienced athlete," says one a:uthority, "-gave as his opinion that at man sacrifices a certain part of his life' every time he enters a contest of any kind. IHe also said that a man when -fit,' a-s expre'ssed by athletes, is in anu abnormally nerv-ous condition. In oth er words, he ca'n never remain at ease for a minute at a time and, like the caged 110on, is forever on the move dur ing his wakibg moments. It has been noticed by observers that athletes are often sickly and particularly suscepti ble to contipation and appendicts." What IIe Cleased Up.

In a large factory in whirh weie em ployed several hundred persons one of the workmen in wielding hi-.. lmmr carelessly allowed it to s1ip from his hand. It flew halfway across the room and struck a fellow workman in the left eye. The man afterward averred that his eye was blinded bV the blow, although a carefil examination failed to reveal any injury. there being not a scratch visible. le brought a suit in the courts for compensation for the loss of half of his eyesight, and refused all offers of compromise. Under the law the owner of the factory was responsible for an injury resulting from an accident of this kind. The day of the trial arrived, and in open court an eminent oculist. retained by the defense, cxaMined the alleged, injured member and gave it as his: opinion that it was as good as the right eye. Upon the plaintifWs loud protest of his inability to see with his left eye the oculist proved him a perjurer and satisfied the court and jury of the fal sity of his claim. le did it simply by knowing that the colors green and red combined make black. He prepared a black card, on which a few words were written in green ink. Then the plaintiff was ordered to put on a pair of spectacles with two differ ent glasses, the ono for the right eye being red, and the one for the left eye! consisting of ordinary glass. Then the card was handed to him, and he was ordered to read the writing on it through the glasses. This he did without hesitation, and the cheat was at once exposed. Owing to the effect which the colored glass must have had upon the green writihg the sound right eye fitted with the red glass could not possibly distinguish the writing on the black surface of the card, while the left eye, which he pre tended was sightless, was the one with which the reading had to be done. London Standard. THE SWISS ARMY. Alwayrs Ready For War Service a Xkoment's Notice. The total population of Switzerland is rather less than half the population of London alone, yet the plucky little republic can throw into the field at a moment's notice four completely equip ped and trained army corps to Ger many's and France's twenty and Eng land's nominal eight. In proportion to her population as compared with Swit zerland, England should possess fifty. Every ablebodied Swiss is, ipso facto, a member of the army from eighteen to forty-four, yet never does one hear the least complaint made by a Swiss of whatever social class at the trifling I sacrifice of time that his military duties demand. Wo watch a Swiss bat talion on Its way to maneuvers in camp or on its return is to watch as contented, serviceable and cheerful a lot of men as one could wish to eet.

In horror there is little to choose between vampires and were wolves. A fanciful reason which has been given for these superstitions is that the meeting brows resemble a but tcrf.

They Are Funlamentally Opposite Extremes In Evolution. T!.e Caucasian has the subjeetive foc ultiesl well developed; the negro. the ob jective. The Caucasian, and more par ticularly the Anglo-Saxon, is dominant and doineering and possessed prima rily with determination, will power, self control, self government and all 1.e ttributes !f the subjective self, wh high dev-eclopment of the ethical ant aesthetic fcalties and great rea Soning powers. The negro is in direct contrast by reason of a certain lack of these powers, and a great development of the objective qualities. The negro is primarily offectionate. immensely emotional, then sensual, and, under provocation, passionate. There is love of outward show, of ostentation, of ap probation. HTe loves melody and a rude kind of poetry and sonorous language. There is undeveloped artistic power and taste-negroes make good artisans and handicraftsmen. They are deli cilent in judgment, in the formation of new ideas from existing facts, in de vising hypotheses and in making de ductions in general. They are imitative rather than original, inventive, or con structive. There is instability of char acter incident to lack of sell control, especially in connection with the sex ual relation, and 'there is a ir i: of orientation or recognition of position and condition of self and environment. evideced in various ways, but by a pecullar "bumptiousness," so called by Professor Blackshear of Texas, this is particularly n6ticeable. The white and the -black races are antipodal, t':e-n, in cardinal points. The one has a large frontal region of the brain, the other a larger region behind; the one is subjective, the other objec ti'e: the one a great reasoner, the other Ire-eminently emotional; the one domi nZ:iag, btt having great seLf control. the other rcee and submissive, but iolent and lacking self control when the passions are aroused; the one a very advanced race. the other a very. backward one.

The bleeding heart, according to an eastern legend, originated in the drops of blood which fell from Christ's side at the crucifixion.

A Tmnrkisih storyr The Turk. as a rule, is not energetic, lut he is capable of sudden bursts of actiitv. A writer in Cassell's Fam~ily Maaine gives an illustration: He was going home late one night in Constantinople when a man ran by' him. pursued by four zaptiehs. Direct ly they caught the man they belabored him vigorously with the butt ends of th-r guns. The Englihman inter fred. "If he is a thief, why not take him to prison and let him be tried properly? Don't half kill the man without a trial." "0 ei'fendi." said the spokesman of the party. -w don't mind his being a thief. We're only hitting him because of the trouble he gave us to run afteor hi."

This blind trust is some what ab sed. and the a4mount Of "fatk ''hch goes on today in some of the -el to do establismelts would prob-bly surpr'ise those who are un initiatcd in the higher branches of the culiuary art. For instance, by the addition of veg etable juice just before being dished up cod cutlets are, at seasorg4' when salmon is very dear, set before cus tomers as salmon cutlets - and are, needless to say, charged accordingly. This deception, accordinfg to han ex chef, is wisely practiced not only in better chiss restaurants, but also on some of the great liners. Another popular trick as practiced by the restaurateur is to serve a real beef done up overnight in salted band ages, while a skillful chef has very little dificulty in palming off fiatfish for sole on epicures who pride them selves on the soundness of their judg ment of cooking. On oie occasion some time ago a dinner for seventy-five people was or dered at a well known fashionable res taurant in the upper part of New York. A large consignment of salmon had been previously ordered, but, to the consternation of the chef, .the dinner hour- slowly approached- and still no salmon arrived. In despair the chef, a Frenchman, decided to "take the bull by the horns" and procure another fish to do duty for the coveted salmon. - Accordingly he sat to work to turn cod cutlets intosalm on cutlets. and this rapid transforma tLion was soon cffected by an addition of vegetable julee. The w;Uters. who naturally w re aware cf this whole sale deception, were given e:press or ders to report any complaints to the chef at once. However, to the intense delight of the chef :li passed off well, and on hearing that his subterfuge had not been detected he glcefully -ex claimed. "Ah, a cod and a French cooki can work miracles." Green peas at certain seaso-:s of the year are naturally a luxury quite be yond the reach of the man of average means, while even caterers for fashion able hotels themselves frequently have the greatest difficulty in getting -suf ficiently large quantity to meet the de mand. However, to fake peas does not offer any great diificulty in times of stress, and by adding vegetable color ing matter yellow peas are quite com monly served up as green peas along with the duck and flavorless new po tatoes, which more often than not come from abroad. Rfoast veal served with a thick white sauce makes, says a well known chef, a most satisfactory substitute for the breast of chicken, and therefore it doea not come altogether as a surprise to learn that the breast of one chicken has been known to satisfy twelve hungry diners. "The staff take gcod care of the breast of a chicken," was the comment of a waiter who was being for the first ineinitiated into the mystery of how to feed a dozen people~ off one chicken. I'erhaps the- cleverest deception prac be. h . eminent ch Cs is the art of manfacurig the iobster patty, so dear to the heart of the epicure. This appetzi~g :dainty wonld at first sight seem to defy even the most ingenious cookery fakir. However, here again the artul chef has overcome apparently In'. eaie diGiculties, and many tooth .0 e looking lobster patties are thus not always quite what they are- said to be.
