Wuen William Blaikie asked a Boston audience the other night, ‘‘How many ladies in Boston could run a mile at any pace that could be called a run?” there was & general laugh at the idea. And yet there ought to be girls who can run a mile with sate. Blaikie added if they would tell him any exercise that would do more toward making a man or a woman graceful than running, he would like to know what it was. He also described a very slutary form of exercise for the arms and back such az could be applied even in the case of young children. It consisted of 2 movement backward of the cutstretched arms, with a simultaneous thrusting for- ward of the chest. In the German militis said Mr. Blaikie, they took the big-backed youny fellows and straightened them up for service—that is, they put on them a kind of adode collar, two inches wide and an inch thick, and out of that the candidate emerg- ®d in about three months one of the most tuilitary-looking persons that could be con- ceived.
