THE OLD-TIME BACKBOARD.
Healthful Exercise Now Takes the
Place of the Brace Form
erly in Use.
Tin* world Inis moved rapidly in
. a hundred years in tin* matter of
physical training for girls. Tliack
eray tells iis, says Youth's Com
panion, that when the nineteenth
century was in its teens, the excel
lent Miss Pinkerton, of the Acad
emy for Young Ladies <»o Chis
wick Mall, gave parting ad
vice to her favorite pupil the in
junetion that siic should make a
careful and unreinit tint; use of t he
backboard for four hours daily for
the succeeding three years, if she
would acquire that dignified de
portment and carriage so requi
site for every young lady of fash
ion.
The hack hoard has gone out. and
perhaps the dignified deportment
and carriage have gone with it.
One hardly dares think how the
majestic Miss Pinkerton would
have regarded the present regime
in school for girls.
The painful repose of the back
hoard has been succeeded by a
complicated system of exercise.
There is a long daily walk. There
are gymnastics for lf» minutes
once a day. Swimming in sum
liter and skating in winter harden
(lie muscles and teach endurance,
(lolf or basket ball or tennis adds
the charm of competition and the
value of self control to the devel
opment of muscle and nerve. The
girl who tiptoes about in high
heeled shoes, and whose corset
prevents her from running or
jumping or breathing deep and
full is today out of fashion.
It remains to be proved that
athletics may go hand in hand
with gracious and gentle manners
—as the backboard undoubtedly
did. But there seems t<> be no in
herent conflict between vigor and
grace, and the twentieth century
may contrive ways to unite them
in its strong, healthy young girl
hood.
QUEEN WORE TIGHT BOOTS.
Wilbelmina of Holland Acknowl
edged Why She Did Not
Appear Cheerful.
According to the opinion ex
pressed by a Philadelphia travel
er, Wilbelmina, queen of Holland
—one may no longer write it "lit
tie Wilhelniina"—is said to he
growing "very plain,” but none
has yet denied her a large share
of "human” qualities. In proof of
this, says the Philadelphia Press,
this same traveler tells a storv
which presents her in a pleasing i
light. It seems that a certain fa I
moils London photographer had i
been sent for to take the queen's
picture. It was the second such
commission he had received from
Amsterdam. When the sitting
was over and the plates had been
developed Wilbelmina said, de
lightedly: f
"Why, this is a much better pic
tore of me than you took before.
I wonder why that is?"
“Your majesty has now a more
cheerful expression," ventured
the artist. "Perhaps that is what
makes the difference.'’
"And I know why that should
have been so." added thequocn. in
stantly. "The last time you were
here, I remember. I had on tight
boots. How can anyone look
cheerful when her feet are being
pinched ?",
Yale's Presidential Mace.
Space is prov ided in t he gold and
silver mace presented the other
day to the* president of the corpo
ration of Yale for the nanu s of 20
more presidents, in addition to the
13 now in t his symbol of academic
authority. This is a long look
ahead, but it is to be hoped the
space will in due time be tilled, and
another mate be needed for other
names.—Chicago Chronicle.
FOR THOSE WHO CAN TRAVEL
The Best Part of Life and the Beauties
of Nature May Be Seen at
Small Expense.
It sometimes seems that the
luxury of going somewhere is
made to overbalance the joy of be
ing in places. Travel is often mere
gadding from place to place, and
your tourist a jieison who travels,
as on a wager, to see how many
towns lie can visit in t lie least pos
sible time. The wise man, howev
er, says Woman's Home Compan
ion, will avoid such mistakes, and
will go to new countries or new
sections of his own to observe
manners and customs. It is not
paradoxical to say that we travel
in foreign places that we may
know ourselves and our own ways
better. To see great buildings and
monuments, to observe methods
of work, to see how the other na
tions sleep and eat and take their
amusements—-these are valuable
for comparison. Hy knowing what
others do we may improve our
selves. We may read from break
fast to bedtime, but the informa
tion is second hand. What on**
learns by experience lie remem
bers. And so we are glad that
travel has been made easy, and
we urge people to see as much of
the world as possible.
Hut if modern travel is luxuri
ous, it is a great mistake to sup
pose that travel is only for the
w ea 11 hy, and t hat it is only profit
able when taken on a velvet cush
ion. A man may see the best part
1 >f life and of nature at very small
•xpense. Coing abroad liowa
' days costs little if one is not too
vain to take modest aeeommoda
(ions on carriers and at inns;
while journeys on bicycles or
afoot, besides being cheap, place
one in touch with the people as
nothing else can. Yet one does
not have to go abroad to see the
world. Hilbert White was a wide
traveler in a parish; Thoreau
scarce went out of New England.
Some of the most stimulating
travels are made near home. If
you cannot go to Europe, at least
see a large city or two in your Own
land. If you cannot do this, walk
into the next county or take a
boat down your own stream.
Then* is so much worth seeing on
tin* earth that every part of it,
however poor and however seem
ingly commonplace, holds many
treasures for the properly pre
pared mind.
JAPANESE LIKE WRESTLING.
It Is One of the Most Popular Sports
Among the Mikados
Subjects.
- I
The one sport that has found
favor from afmost time immemo
rial in Japan is wrestling, and this ,
may be said to be the national !
sport of tin* present opponents of
the czar, says the Washington |
Times.
Formerly it was essential to the
education of a gentleman, particu- j
larly if he were a soldier, and even
now it is practiced and taught to
a very wide extent among the bet
ter classes.
Vet it is the professional side of
wrestling, as it is of boxing in this
country, that has given the sport
its reputation as the sport of the
people.
Formerly the nobility patron
ized wrestling and wrest lets as t lie
aristocracy did prize fighting in
England. Tin* Itest known con
testants enjoyed immunity from
ferry fares, tolls on bridges, high- ,
ways, etc.
Now the wrestlers are depend
ent wholly upon public favor,
which they enjoy to a marked de
gree.
There are 40 recognized profes
sional followers of the game at
present, divided into three classes.
Great semi annual matches are
held in January and Juueat Tokio,
under the auspices of a guild of
retired wrestlers.
Very great importance is at
tached to these affairs, and they
assume the character of national
fetes. A match is won by the man
receiving two out of three falls.
STRATEGY THAT SUCCEEDED
One Way to Get a Woman to Take
Her Hat Off in a
Theater.
the
the
She sailed down the aisle just before the
curtain rose for the mat nee, an elegantly
dressed woman of middle age and more,
wearing a broad, Idaek hat with a long,
curving leather on if. Sin* took a seat in
front of two young women and gave not
the slightest intimation of removing that
marvelous tower of headgear, relates the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
“Pardon me. I tit would you mind
mo\mg your hat?-'
'I itis request apparently made not
slightest impression on the owner of
handsome plume, and a few minutes
later the second young woman asked, u
a tone somewhat louder than that oi her
companion:
ould you please be so kind as to take
off your hat?”
The offender moved her head slightly,
but otherwise gave no response.
1 he victims of fashion were silent for a
few minutes and then one of them was
heard to say very distinctly to her friend:
“Oh, well, perhaps she is a little bald.
That, of course, explains it. Don't think
of asking her again,”
The woman with the hat started, ami
before the speakei had finished the of
fense was removed.
Forbidden Fruit.
A request was once made to the authori
ties of one of the colleges at Cambridge
that room might be found on the spa
cious lawns of their garden for the lady
students of Girton College to play lawn
tennis.
Guessing clearly enough what would be
the result of the admission of these stu
dents of the fairer sex among the under
graduates. the master replied that it was
■ordered in the statutes of the eol'ege that
the gardens must be devoted to the pm
poses of floriculture, and must not be used
for husbandry. Spare Moments.
