Rope jumping by young girls is regard ed as harmless amusement, and yet it is probably attended by as many fatal ac cidents as football. One of the first deaths of the season from this cause oc curred last week in Brooklyn, where a little girl of nine years died from the es feets of the prolonged indulgence in rope skipping. Taken in moderation, jumping rope may or may not be good exer cise for girls, but it may be overdone, and when rapid and protracted it is a severe strain on children whose hearts are weak or who are otherwise delicate. Prudent mothers should bear this in mind, and caution their children against the danger. Ex. WEuK MEH MAOS VIGOROUS. 15’day. S’" DAY. IB™DAY- 27“ DAY. mat PEFFER’S lOVIGQR DU!
