The Indians have two courses open to them in the existing troubles*-war with a winter's privations and possible starvation or peace with a continuance of Uncle Sam's rations. Considering several very marked traits of Indian character, it seems very likely that peace will prevail.

Said Dr. Plumb: "For any child of mine, I should groatly prefer that he should be a good Roman Catholic than that he should go about the world without any religion, as an infidel or an agnostic." Said the Archbishop: "While I do not believe that any form of Protestantism is as true as the Catholic religion, yet I would rather have a child of mine reared in any form of Protestantism than have it reared without religion." Was not thesimilarity of expression remarkable?

Geraldine's Letter.

DKAB RUTH:Tuesdayand Wed needay Miss Mary Saunders and Miss Irma Thomas held an exhibition of decorated china and Christmas novelties at their studio, in the Savings bank building. One table was entirely filled with china. There were tea and coiBee cups, roses, bon-bon dishes, pitchers, etc., etc. On another table were Christmas cards, calendars, sachet bags, laundry lista and all manner of attractive novelties. Two head rests of drawn work, done by Mrs. Moore, were especially admired. Among the prettiest things in the room were some old fashioned splint bottom rocking chairs which Miss Thomas enammeled with white, then with a little gilding and some beautifully painted pansles and appl^bloesoms transformed Into something very dainty and pretty. The young ladies reported good sales. All that were left over were shipped to Middletown, New York, to be sold at a churc/h fair.

Miss Thomas has spent three winters In New York studying art. She told me that every season the city is full of art students. They take private lessons in the studios or at the Art Student's League, if they have the means to do fto, If •not, thanks td#the generosity of Peter Cooper, they can receive Instructions at tho Cooper institute free of charge. Many of them have a struggle to keep body and soul together during the time they are pursuing their studies. One girl that I know of, bad only two cents a day to spare for traveling she could not afford to pay board In New York, so lived in Jersey City, and crossed the ferry during commission hours, when the fare is only one cent, walking from the art school to the ferry, lecause she could not afford to pay car fare. But she had talent, she had pluck, and she struggled on until she finished her studies, and to day gets a salary of two thousand dollars as the leading designer In a large print factory. None of these girls could make a living selling their pictures, for even artists of established reputation do not do more than that, but they scatter North, South, East and West, they open studios in the village or town from whence they came, and teach the rising generation what they have learned at a great sacrifice and cost. Their art may not be great, but they can teach these children what they otherwise would not know, besides being missionaries of art, as it were, helping in their way to cultivate a love and talent for it in their community.

The Mendelssohn quartette gave a very enjoyable concert Tuesday evening. They had a fair sixed audience which made up in enthusiasm what it lacked In numbers. The quartette area decided feature of the Baptist church, so I confidently expected that nearly all of the large congregation who listen to them every Sunday, and profess such admiration of their singing, would be preserft on this occasion, I saw a great many from other churches, hut the Baptists could almost be counted on one's fingers. It Is strange how a little matter of twenty-five cents or so, sometimes serves to dampen enthrsiasm. You know how it Is with the Oratorio concerts. When they are free, every seat is taken, people like Oratorio music so well, hut when there la an admission fee of even ten cents, It has its effect on the sice of the audience. These same people conclude that they do not care so much for Oratorio music after all.

After a abort stay in New York "The Angelas" goes back to France to take place in a private gallery. The pte tore i» not only wonderful as a work of art, but It Is also a great curiosity on account of being the moat costly painting in the world, the prioe paid for It exceeding by thousand* of dollars, that ever paid tor any other ptctor*.

The entertainment given by Mr. and Mrs. Leland Powers at Normal hall Thursday night was simply delightful. Mr. Powers is wonderful in his way. He is the whole show, and the stranjgest thing of all, we don't miss the rest, don't even think but that they are all there, so perfectly doea be represent eaoh character. His "Simon Ingot," and his "Dick Chivy" were remarkably well acted. Mrs. Powers has a light, flexible soprano, which shows careful training, and she played a very beautiful accompaniment.

The presentation by Miss Lillian Lewis of the interesting drama of "Credit Lorraine" on next Tuesday evening, Dec. 9th, at Naylor's will be awaited with pleasure by the amusement public of this city. "Credit Lorraine" is criticised by the press as an emotional drama of unusual merit, it is said to be brilliantly written, clear and comprehensive in characterization and absorbing in story and action.

Miss Lewis is a young and beautiful aotress, and comes with the prestige of recent brilliant success. Her engagement in New York last season in a legitimate repertory of emotional plays was pronounced a great success by the metropolitan press. She was criticised the equal, If not the superior, of Clam Mori is in emotional roles. According to recent press comments, the costumes worn by Miss Lewis have won for her the enviable distinction of being one of the most attractively dressed women on the stage.

The Value of Exercise.

JULIAN HAWTHORNE DISCUSSES THE SUBJECT *N HIS USUAL INSTRUCTIVE AND ENTERTAINING

FASHION

The boy who is brought up to walk, join, row, wrestle, play foot hall and base ball, and go to bed by an open window, need not fear to match himself, if need arises, against the scientific product of a gymnasium. The old Greeks had no such prodigies of muscular development as we turn out now* but the faultlesa figure of the athlete of the

Vati­

can, for instance, means a greater effectiveness for speed, potoer and courage than will be found to-day and that athlete was madtt out of doors and chiefly hy contests with his fellows. He never knew or caref how much his arm measured, or what the girth of his chest was TOthe knew he could outrun bis rivals & the circus, and throw the discus out gf sight* and torn an antagonist over his '|ead. An indoor gymnast is a sort of pot-house plant he is remarkable as |»ng as you can keep him going, but be fades easily, and six months away from his pulleys and dumb-bells reduces him to quite an ordinary creature. Whereas, strength acquired in the sunshine and toe wind sticks to you.

Nevertheless these feSgenlous Appliance* which the modern world has invented are beneficial In their w^y, as

lestival, "A Pair of Jacks," will be the attraction at Naylor's to-nigbt. This is one of the most successful comedy attractions on the road. The dialogue in "A Pair of Jacks" is said to possess more literary merit than is usually found in farce comedies. It is witty, and with* out plot the play would of itself be ex ceedingly enjoyable. The story of the skies, though, is interesting and well told. The incidents follow eaoh other

fegularity and discretion. They give (race and confidence, and give the ramework of the body an expansion Jknd elasticity that it mtght otherwise iaok. Let every muscle be stretched and pulled a little everyday, and you will fhe the better for it.

It avails (you nothing to put heavy muscles on your chest if your chest itself remains contracted, and a biceps as big as an

twenty to fifty pounds, according to your strength—'is as useful all around as any one thir^ in the gymnasium. The recent fashion of using very light weight is foolish. There are other things to do, after all, besides contracting and relaxing the mftscles. Whatever wearies the nerves, either by monotony or over-attention, is inadvislble you must exercise with a light heart and a free mind. Tho trouble with gymnastics in general is, they try tbe heart and seldom give full play to the lungs to run roaring and shouting about a play-ground for half an hour is much better than twice as much solemn and silent work In the gymnasium, and though modern gymnasiums contain apparatus especially lor lung work, they have no means of manufacturing the pure atmosphere which renders lungwork valuable. On the other band, every muscular effort affects tbe heart, and, if it be too violent or too protracted, weakens it in time. But though we have no difficulty in knowing when we are "out of breath," a strain upon the heart passee unnoticed—until it forces itself upon our notice in a manner not to be evaded. tt*y

The value of discipline is understood hi the army. It looks rather absurd, perhaps, to see a sentry stiffen himself and hold out his rifle as the officer goes by, or the messenger make a rectangular •alute before delivering a dispatch. But these little things have an immense effect In training the mind to promptness and obedience. They are nothing in themselves, but they are symbols of tbe power of law and its recognition. For this reason military drill la an excellent thing for boys, and they take to it willingly. But nine-tenths of the book lessons they learn before 20 are forgotten before 30, and were of little or no use in the meantime. Whereas discipline—the subordination Of the faculties to the will is useful at every moment of life, and its effects last. But the body should be drilled* not for its own sake, hat for the sake of the mind. I do not value drill ae an eserdse. That should vary as the individual. One needs one thing and another, but all need to learn obedience, promptness, and the power of application.

Yon will think these reflections dry but they belong to the subject we are talking about.

giving sparring lessons. He was a pret ty sparrer, and knew a good many sprightly tricks but the science has advanced In several respects since hia day.

Every young fellow ought to know something about boxing, if only in order to avoid quarrels Mid scrimmages. Boxing is called the art of self-defense and in nine cases out of ten It Is only its defense side that need come into play to ward off a blow, and to show your assailant that you are Impregnable to assault is generally enough you are seldom required to hit him—of course, lam speakihg now, not of boxing with friends in the gymnasium, but of its application to such contingencies as will occasionally arise on Jour way through the world. Never knock a man down If you can possibly avoid it but if you must do it, it is well to know how to do it in the neatest and most effective manner. Science in the matter saves time, torn clothes, bloody noses, and much useless noise and uproar. .And to feel confident of your ability to bear yourself well in a quarrel will go a long way toward keeping you out of it,

Still, a good tight is a good cause Is a very hearty, genuine, and satisfactory thing and when tlie time oomes, and you are dear as to your rights, you must not flinch or hesitate. Do your very best and whether you beat or are beaten, you will never regret it.

As to fenoing, it Is almost indlspenslble to a good physical education, and your Interest in it will grow as you becamo more skillful. My instruction came from a certain corporal of au English dragoon regiment and from an old English major who had been present at Waterloo. Tbe muscular strength it gives is not important, but it insures grace and accuracy of movement and a good bearing. A good fencer would be apt, I should fancy, to make a good lawn-tennis player, not only because his wrist and forearm will be strong and elastic, but because his motion will be swift and his eye true. Lawn tennis was unknown in my day, but it is probably the best social game ever invented and then, it always Is (or, rather, it always should be) played out of doors. Yet even tennis should be treated with discretion. It is a game In which the nerves are greatly involved the strain of nervous attention fixed upon the ball and upon the movements of the opposing players is no slight matter, and r»ore tha%half the fatigue that is fell is due to that. You should not play too long at a time two sets out of three or four out of five is generally enough then if you require more muscular exertion take a walk or a row or go and put up a dumb-bell. For the same reason practice on tbe horizontal bar or trapeze should be moderate, and so of anything that requires balance and Involves nervous tontlon. You would better exhaust your muscles every day in tbe week than overstrain-your nerves once, and this is a reason why'tt.c^« constant championship contests are a bad thing. It will tire you more to run one hundred yards in twelve seconds in a race than in ton seconds In practice. And if you find that exercise of any kind has a tendency to make you restless at night drop It at once. Nothing can compensate for lost sleep.—Detroit News.

»POOR A UTHORSn NO LONGER. •is fNew York Star.) The book publishers, ©specially those houses which do not issue a magazine, are not very much pleased at the growing tendency of fiction writers to give first publication to their novels in serial form, says an exchange. It is exceedingly rare nowadays to see a novel from a well-known pen appear first ir» book form. Tbe reason Is that the author Is realizing more and more tho double revenue and larger reputation to be had from double publication. Goqjd novel writers who can add a famous name to a good piece of work are undoubtedly scarce, and with the keen competition among magazines the prices have in* creased. Whether serial publication helps or injures the sale of a book Is an open question. Publishers differ on this point, and in ite discussion the author naturally takes no part. If bis book be popular, be enn dictate to the publisher, and the latter must bow, or lose tbe novel. The time has passed for referring to the "poor author."

SHAKING HANDS.

It would seem that sixty years ago shaking hands "between persons of different sexes" was hardly proper and that ten or twenty years earlier It was considered highly indelicate. My authority Is the following, copied from the law report* of tbe Examiner for 1828: "Court of Arches, Nov. 2B, m-Di-vorce: Hamerton against Hamertoo.— Sir John Nicholl, in giving judgement, aaid that conduct highly bhunahle and distressing to the feelings of a husband had been proved, hut, although thirty witaew had hews examined, no indeceot familiarities had been proved beyond a kisa. The shaking of hands when they met waa a practice now so frequent between persons of different eexee, bowever opinions might differ as to its delicacy, that no anfkronible inferenos ooald bededneed tbeoc*.",—Notes and Queries. !-.

She makes the point that the people over there desire union with the Americans but for various rea» sons fear to openly declare it.

The largest cotton planter id the world is James S. Richardson, of New Orleans, who owns 40,000 acres of ootton land and employs 0,000 negroes. Ho hae refused au English syndicate's offer of $22,500,000 for his plantation.

DON'T BE MEAN, BOYS. [Burdottc.] Sometimes I wonder what a mean man thinks about when be goes to bod. When be turns down tbe light and lies down alone, he is then compelled to be honest with himself. Not a bright thought, not a generous Impulse, not a word of blessing, not a grateful lo'»k comes back to him, not a penny dropped into tho palm or a loving word dropped into an aching heart, no sun beams of encouragement cast upon a struggling life, no strong right band of fellowship reached out to help some fallen man to his feet, —when none of those things come to him ss tbe "God bless you" of tbe departing day, bow he must bate himself, how he must try to roll away from himself and sleep on the other side of tbe bed, when tbe only victory he can think of is some mean victory, in which he bas wronged a neighbor. No wonder he alway* sneers when be tries to smile. How pure, and fair, and good all the rest of the world most look to him, and how careless and dreary must bis own path appear! Why, even one isolated act of meanness is enough to scatter cracker crumbs in the bed of tbe average man and what must be the feelings of a man whose whole life is given up to mean arts? When thereU so much suffering, and heartache, aod mieery in the world, anyhow, why should anyone add a pound of wickedness or *adne*s to the general burdent Don't be mean, boys. Suffer injustice a tbousand times rather than commit It onoe.
