PHYSICAL CULTURE, ~
THE
HANDSOMEST MAN) ALIVE WRITES ON THE SUBJECTs ~
Prof. J, M. Laflin, Who is as Described Above, and Whe Took the Prise for Masculine Beauty at the International at Vienna, Gives His Rules
Parents do not devote enough attention to the physical development of their child- ren. Teachers neglect the education of the bodies of their pupils.
I «lo not believe that a healthy mind can so with an unhealthy bedy, and I main- tain that the mind of a person with a healthy bedy must of necessity be a strong and a vigorous one.
Most of the ilis of the body can be traced back to the lack of free and inteHigent physical ed» cation in childhood.
I often think, knowing as I do what can be done with proper care, what a stupen- dous improvement could be made in the general health in one generation. The average man would be taller and more robust, capable of more work and of greater eujoyment, than the average man of the present day. The average woman would be stronger and more beautiful than the average woman of to-day, and both men znd women would live longer. That this can be easily be accomplished I am convinced.
I would have agymnasium in every pub- lic school in the city. I would make it one of the requirements of attendance at the public schools that every pupil should once er twice every day gothrough a gymnastic exercise, however brief.
It is not desired to make a race of pugil- ists, but it is desired to make a race of healthy men and women, which the chil- dren now in the publie schools will not grow upinto. Whatis needed for grow- ing children is such simple exercise as will every day bring into play every muscle in the body.
Without exercise some muscles lie dor- mant, They never develop. Without ex- ercise for all of the body the digestion is impaired, the circulation of the blood is weakened, the quality of the blood is de- tericrated and the foundations are laid for ultimate chronic disease, which must come sooner or later.
It must not be supposed that what I here propose would add any great burden to the expense of public school maintenance or require the erection of any new build- ings. The public school buildings now in existence are Quite sufficient for the pur- pose.
All it would be necessary to do would be to set apart in every public school a large room to be used as a gymnasium. No ela- borate equipment of gymnastic appliances would be necessary. A few hundreds of doilars of expense would suffice to fit up a public school with horizontal bars, rings, trapezes, Indian clubs, rowing machines, boxing gloves, ete,
A bare floor is better than a carpeted apartment and blank walis better than walls elaborately panelled. In a good- sized room of this kind hundreds of public school pupils could take exercise at one time. Where the schools are crowded the ¢.asses could succeed each other, and thus the gymnasium would bein yse at every hour of the day.
The teachers would find this the most popular of all the attractions of the schools. The pupils would look forward
to their gymnastic exercise. It would teack them how to play. It would teach them the use of their bodies. It would
teach them to respect their bodies and to sutive to excel in feats of agility and strength, thus leading them to love out- door games and to feel at home in all hinds of play.
For it must be remembered that it is as natural for a child to want to play as it is fora kitten. Nature instils this into each for the distinct purpose of exercising every muscle ata time when the muscles are growing, and the child that gets a chance to play freely in the open’ air all day has an enormous advantage at the very com- mencement of life.
Another duty of the public schools
should be to teach every pupil to lear how to swim. It is just as important that a man know how to swim as how to earn a living, and even more so, for in the one case he must rely absolutely upon himself when the time comes, It is a very easy thing to teach children of the proper age how to swim. During t'.o past summer I taught a couple of lit- tic girls how to swim in less than an hour. A swimming tank should be a necessary part ofevery public school gymnasium, and it could be fitted up at very little expense.
uot acguired this easy accomplishment, which, unlike all other accomplishments, is never forgotten. They may forget what they learnfout of the books, but they can never forget how to swim.
One of the advantages of children know- ing how to swim is this, that it induces them to take exercise in the water. Boys who cunnct swim, and there are thousands of them, are careful about going into the water. The consequence is that they lose the inestimable advantages derived from this most exhilarating and body-building sport.
I would also have every child in the pub- lic schools taught to know what the human bey is like, andthe functions of the dif- ferent parts. They should know every muscle and how to exercise it. They should know what are the proper and im- proper things to put into the stomach,how the lungs work, and the ill-vffects of to- bacco, the effects of alcohol on the system and the necessity for pure air in the mak- ng of pure blood. These are simple ques- ions in anatomy and the science of health what would not take halfan hour a week
rom the time devoted to other studies in the public schools, where now the mind is feveloped at the expense of the body.
I] believe that children taking constant exercise every day, who know how to fol- low the simple rules of bodily health, can learn more per hour than the unhealthy children now crowding our schools. Their minds are brighter and more alert, their memories more retentive, their reasoning fxeulties more sharply developed when the blood courses freely through their yeins than when it is sluggish asthe re- sult of indoor life without proper exercise for all the muscles.
A healtby mind in a growing child islike a sponge, eager for knowledge at every pore. The dull and stupid children of whom we hear in every school are in near- ly every instance sickly. The healthy child is happy under all circumstances. It eats Welland sleeps well. Its body and mind expand together, the one stimulat- jung the other,
One of the advantages of the kind of
hysical education for children which I
‘ere suggest is that it teaches them how tu play. It induces them to seek outdoor gxercise and amusement. Many thou-
gadis of children donot know how to play.

THE DAILY EXAMINER.
They are afraid of rough games. They do not know what tedo when they get into the country, where the names of tue trees and plants, and even the appearance of the fields, are strange to them
Simple sanitary lessons should be taught in all the schools. Children ought to have the advantage of personal cleanliness drilled into them. They should be taught to know that bathing as often as possible is good for them, a fact which too many parents neglect. Children should be taught to know that pure air is pecessary for their well-being. They should be made to learn that the fou! air of tenements is injurious, and that ventilation is better than close and overheated rooms.
One of the most injurious practices of parents is putting children to sleep with each other or with older people. A father recently brought tome a weak and sickly child. He did not know what ailed it. As soon as I learned that the child slept with an older member of the family I asked him to stop it at once, and the child, without any medicine, and sleeping thereafter alone in a well-ventilated room, began to pick up immediately. In a couple of months the child was completely restored to health.
In conclusion, I have to again repeat that the health of the rising generation is as important as the health of the present generation. The care of the physical well-being of the children in the publie schools isas much the true duty of the State as the care of their mental well- being.
The true glory of a people is not their wealth, but their health. We should strive to make not millionaires but men. It is easier to improve the public health by beginning with the children than by attempting to cure the adults. The im- provement of the whole race is within easy reach on these lines, and must surely be followed by intellectual and moral im- provement where che body is healthy.
As the twig is beat so shall the tree grow. You cannot teach people to take proper exercise and to give proper care to their bodies after neglecting those duties for the larger part of their lives.
But when these duties are inculcated in early youth the habits of childhood are re- tained through life. A well-developed body is more precious than a well-developed bauk account, and a good appetitite is worth more than $1,000,000.—J. F, Laflin, in New York World.
BATTLE BETWEEN FOREST KINGS.
Twe Big South American Pumas Torn te Pieces in s Death Struggle.
“On our return trip to the coast,” a traveler returned from the foothills of the Andes said to a Globe-Democrat man, “I saw a thrilling incident of life inthe South American forest, a fight to te death be- tween two big pumas. Those great beasts are flerce, hard fighters atall times against acommon enemy, but it is only during the mating season that the males fight among themselves, and when they do con- test means death to one or both of them. “For strength and courage they are the equalgof the African lion or the tigers of the Indian jungles. We were making our way down a narrow wooded ravine in the foothills of the Andes, and had stopped for our midday meal on the bank of a small mountain stream of clear water. After we had finished the meal I laid down fora short rest, but in less than five minutes I was aroused by the most terrific roaring, snapping and snarling of wild beasts I had ever heard.
“*Pumas, and there’s going to be a fight,’ said our guide in a whisper.
“It was not difficult to locate the ant- mals. They were not more than 100 yards away, and by creeping through the brush as quietly as possible we were able to get near enough to see the fight without dis- turbing them.
“When we caught sight of the two ani- mals they were crouching close to the ground, faciag each other, in asmall space under some large trees. They were the finest specimens of the puma I ever saw.
“They were probably thirty feet apart, and as they crouched there glaring at each other they looked like giant cats about to spring on their prey. Puzgilists never sparred with greater caution than did those big brutes. Their tails were switching back and forth, and their eyes were like balls of fire. Slowly they moved around in a circle, all the time cautiously getting closer and closer together. It was evident thateach was waiting for the other to make the first lead. For more than ten minutes they watched and waited. The roaring and snarling we heard when they first met had ceased. They made nosound now as they watched for a chance to spring.
“Our own nerves were trembling under the strain, when at last the two great brutes rose in the air atthe same instant and, like catapults, came together with
a thud that could have been heard 200 yards away. They dropped to the ground and for almost ten
minutes all we could make out was twe great brown bodies rolling over and over in a death struggle. They made no outery of any kind, but eve_y few sec- onds we could hear their powerful jaws eome together with a snap like the clos- ing of a well-oiled steel trap. Finally they began to weaken, and as their strug gles grew less violent we could see that both of them were covered with blood, while their flesh was torn to shreds. In five minutes more the fight was over and the two giants of the forest were stretched out at full length on the ground, clasped in each other’s limbs, just as two playful kittens sometimes liedown together. They struggled feebly a little longer and then both of them lay perfectly still. Both were dead when we got to them, and I never saw animals so torn to pieces. The entrals of both were torn out and scatter- ed over the ground where they had fought, and in their necks were great ragged holes, from which the blood had flowed in streams while they were still fighting. They each had a score of wounds that would have killed any animal with less tenacity of life.”
A Peppery Queen.
Here is an amusing incident of stage life. A certain actress having been disengaged for some time, had packed her wardrobe in pepper to preserve it from moths. She was suddenly called upon to take the part of the Queen in “Hamlet.”
Being rather late for her first scene, she omitted to shake out her royal robes, and her dignified entrance had an astonishing effect.
The King, after s brave resistance, gave vent toa mighty sneeze that well-nigh made the stage vibrate. All the royaj courtiers and maids of honor followed suit sympathetically. Hamlet came on with a most sublime tragedy air, just after a con- vulsive movement of his princely features he buried them in his somber robe, while sneeze aiter sneeze was all the public heard from him.
Amid the hubbub on the stage and the shrieks of delight from the audience the stage manager, between the sneezes, rang down the curtain.—London Tit-Bits.
Travellers, away from the comforts of home, will find iu Hawker’s liver pills a speedy cure for all dtsturbance of the stomach.

“Four years ago while in the old country ‘ England ), my daughter Haonal was sent away irom the hospital, in a very low condition with consumption of the lungs and bowels, and weak action of the heart.” The trip across the water to this country seemed to make her feel better for a while. Then she began to get worse, and for 14 weeks she was unable to get off the bed. She grew worse for five months aad lost the use of her limbs ard Jower part of body and if she sat up in bed had to be propped up with pillows. Physicians
Said She Was Past All Help
and wanted me to send her to the ‘Home for Incurables.’ But I said as Jong as I could hold my hand up sheshould not go. We then began
$ a- rs Hood’s:"Cures to give her Hood’s Sarsaparilla. She is getting strong, walks around, is out doors every day; has no trouble with her throat and no cough, and her heart seems to be allright again. She 4as a first class appetite. Weregarcd her cure as nothing short of a miracle.” W. Wyatt, 88 Marion Street, Parkdale, Trento, Ontarie. Hood’s Pilis 2re purely vegetable and perfectly harmless. Sold by all drugzists. 25¢.
