H WOMEN SHOULD TRAIN Impossible to Attach Suffi cient Importance to Phys ical Culture. Mistaken Idea That Much Strength Means Little Grace. Some of the Social Events and Personal Doings of Yes teidiy. A Melange of Matter of Spe cial Interest to Ail Women. It is not possible to have too much of Such a good thing as physical culture in all its branches. It would seem that Fannie Edger T.iomas has said enough in the following bright paper to con vince all reasonable people of the value and importance of giving the proper care and training to this woncTerful piece -of mechanism, the feiiiiuiue body: Many women hesitate to adopt physi cal culture through a false idea that naturalness means grace. "\Vedo want to be graceful, but we hate affectation," they say. "What is natural and easy must be graceful. We become con scious, stilt' and stilted once we meddle with nature and attempt to train our selves into mace." Never wore hackneyed expressions more utterly false than these. The many unfortunate surprises from mir ror aim photograph camera ought to prove that to any intelligent person. Thought may imagine a position of great dignity and elegance. The reflection discloses one of extreme awkwardness that is frequently ludicrous. While thought must underlie all grace, it is not able to speak through stiff, un trained muscles. Some people are born with natural grace and need little or no suggestion in this regard". With some a little thought and effort works marked im provement, while others, in order to at tain any sort of satisfactory symmetry, must go into a regular course of train ing for development. Any one who would develop all her latent charm must pass through more or less of this. l'lenslnir Expression of the Body is similar to harmony on a carefully tuned piano. When one portion of the body is keyed too high and another too low the result must be discord to the oustrver. This discord is awkward ness. Proportional tension or laxity of the body produces its music, which is grace ! Among women there is the comfort nble clumsiness of ignorance, the lissom indolent grace of tin' skilled muscle and the great crowded middle land of effort without training, showing stiff, awk ward angularity, self consciousness and nervousness, as displeasing to the eye us uncomfortable to the own«si\ Were thought upon the subject all that were necessary, one lecture, with Illustrations from everyday life, would lie "sufficient to produce an audience of absolutely gmceful woman, but 1111 --lortunalely muscle must be made obe dient to brain before it can fitly repre sent it Ij v nature large-minded, independent, pntli usiastic, honest, sensible ami digni fied American women as a class utterly misrepresent themselves to foreigners by untrained gaucheries of personal ex pression. Observe in the next company of which pou are a member the hunching of shoulders to ears, chests hollowed into Furrows, contracted brows, turned in toes, spasmodic contortions of the face, supposed to be expressive; incessant jerking of hands, arms and head; stiffen ing of limb joints into supposed graceful positions— all outward incongruities due to neglect ot the laws of grace; bad habits of sitting, riding, walkiug, which distort or leave unaccented the shapely line nf corsage, sl«eve or limb, and which are chiefly the result of a nerv ousness born or the desire to please. Skilled Grace is always easy and comfortable. It makes a Bernhardt, a Salvini, a Lotta. Looking upon it each one imagines it easily attainable— till one tries! Un skilled motion is painful awkwardness. Half-trained skill is conscious affecta tion—the most displeasing of all. The stumbling block in the way of improvement to many Americans is found in their impetuous haste to show off, to rush into observation with half baked skill, as far from naturalness as troiu grace. Observer^ disgusted, have been led to exclaim : "All this Delsar tean work is affectation. 1 will have none ot it." in her ideas of grace the English wo men's manner is marked by an ex aggerated repose; the Frenchwoman's by a crystallization of surprises: that ot the Italian and Spanish by an indolent luxury of line and motion— the music of feeling. It is not the simplicity of it, but the trained complexity of motion that makes grace. In the bow ot a Salvini there are a score of motions, yet to look upon it is the most simple and natural thing in the world. few pretty women get lialf the value of their figures on account of the stilt' ungraceful ness of the muscles. Un trained muscles do not grow beautifully wild, like children and flowers, but still and ungainly, without adaptability or expression. Ihe band of a professional pianist, trained to habits of obedience to the brain, even in repose is speaking— full of expression. Compare it with that of the day laborer. Most of our bodies con. pare witii the hitler. The first thine to do with the body is to "limber up," to uiafce the muscles absolutely pliable, but linn and strong, to make the different portions of the body individual or distinct from eacii other, to make all subservient to the dictates of the brain, and to make this obedience spontaneous and conscious through habit. Even a "busy woman" should devote at least fifteen or twenty minutes twice v day to the training of her form to uiui.u it straight, round and flexible. SOCIAL, BKiEFS. The ball given by Unity guildat Lltt's liall iast night was an unusually pleas ant function. Litt's hall is a delightful place for a hop, and under the auspices ot the guild every attention had been given to those small but important de tails that make or mar the success of sucli an event.

Kate Fields Wasiunstoii. 1 was walking down Broinlield street, in Boston, on a stormy day in Decem ber. The narrow sidewalk, covered with ice and trodden snow, and the sharp pitch of the street n:ade pedes trianism a venture bordering upon rash ness. As I was in somewhat of a hurry 1 pushed by a couple of fat, cautious, waddling gentlemen and started at a swinging pace down the treacherous in cline. Suddenly 1 was aware that my feet had slipped from under me. Then came a Hash, followed by darkness. The same street stretched before me, only I was walking in the opposite direction. A hat was lying: in the gut ter, which struck me in the most whimsical way as being exactly like my hat. 1 was about to pick it up and ex amine it, when I noticed a group of men carrying a heavy object into an aci jac/nt drug store. 1 pushed forward with curiosity, and was astonished to see that the heavy object was myself, liatless, my face deadly white, with some drops of biood clustered on the hair. The men staggered in the drug; store, and 1 followed thtm. They laid their burden on the counter, mid the druggist came rushinc from a back room in frightened haste, lie ruthlessly tore open the bosom of what 1 shuddered to perceive was my best coat, loosened the underclothing and bent down in a lis tening attitude. 1 shall never forget the expression of his lace as he turned and looked up without lifting his body. "Gentlemen," he said, "the man is dead!" I laughed outright at the preposter ousness of the statement. My voice was perfectly audible to myself, but none of the others in the room seemed to hear it; at least, none of them turned to look at me. 1 heard one of the by standers say that he would report the case at once, and the druggist nodded silently toward the telephone. As for me, 1 could endure the farce no longer. and walked out with a distinct con sciousness of elation, as if 1 had sud denly become rid of a great burden or had realized some long-delayed hope. The snow was falling thickly outside, but 1 felt so strangely happy that the whirling storm seemed more beautiful than the fairest June sky 1 had ever seen . 1 walked up Tremont street, my heart leaping with an undreamed-of joy in mere existence. On the corner of the first block whom should 1 meet but my dear old Dr. S., who had brought me into the world, and who had been my best friend and counselor until three years before, when blood poison ing, contracted during a critical surgical operation, had carried him off. The recognition was mutual, and we fell into each other's arms with exclama tions of surprise and delight. "Why, doctor, (iod bless you! I thought you were dead." "My clear boy! 1 didn't know that you had escaped." 1 looked at u»y friend in blank amaze ment. "Escaped!" 1 cried. "What do you mean? Escaped what?" "Flesh," cried the doctor briefty, while the same old laugh seemed to ring in his kindly voice. "Boiiest" And he beamed upon me with Ills lace ' like a plastic chunk of sunshine. "1 looked down at my tweed suit and cork-soled shoes. Then I gazed upon the doctor's expansive waistcoat peep ing through his hall-buttoned mackin tosh. "1 don't see that 1 have even es caped my clothes— or that you have, either," 1 replied dubiously. "If you doii't believe that you have escaped flesh and bones," said the doc tor, seriously, "try walking through that lamppost." 1 advanced incredulously to the post, backed off with a laugh, then moved up again, with the doctor's hand on my shoulder, and melted through the solid iron, or, to speak more exactly, the solid iron melted through me. "Now, follow me through this old apple-woman," chuckled the doctor, and in an instant we had permeated a. half-bushel of wormy fruit and a dame as withered and gaunt as the tree that bore it. "Are you satisfied?" cried the doctor, as he dragged me through a solid wall into the privacy of two closeted politi cian*, who never noticed our intrusion in the least. "Perfectly, so far as ocular demon stration goes," 1 replied, admiring the nonchalance and familiarity with which tne doctor leaned upon the shoulder of one of the politicians, and, from force of habit while in the tiesii, proceeded to examine his tongue. "Yes," 1 contin ued, "1 am satislied that 1 am not. what 1 was. but you will have the kindnees to explain why we both retain the same semblance as" when we were in the body'?"' "Certainly," replied my friend. "We do not; that is, not really. In a very brief space of time now— perhaps be fore these wire-pullers have arranged their slate- -you will begin to experi ence me ass I do you. Your present notion of form is a mere reminiscence. All newly-escaped persons— that is, all who have recently rid themselves of the flesh— retain for a time a certain sunse consciousness, as the eye, which has been gazing upon a bright object, re tains the image of that object after the lids are closed. But as that image gradually fades away, so will your re miniscence ot bodily form fade. Pres ently you will no longer see, but ex perience, which is a much more vivid and delightful operation of the soul. With the transformation which comes all the strangeness and unfamiliarity of the mid-world, as we call it, will pass away, and you will not feel the least embarrassment, for instance, in walk ing through the poor, dull-sensed bodies of people, or treating them in any way you please." As the doctor spoke I became grad- The Truthful ' Test It requires no learned experts or scientific experiments to establish the fact that DR. PRICE'S DELICIOUS FLAVORING EX TRACTS are not only the strong est, but positively the sweet est and most delicate fruit flavors. If housewives will flavor a cake, pudding, cus tard or cream with Dr. Price's Extract of Vanilla, Lemon or Orange, and a smaller quan tity gives a more natural and grateful taste than can be im parted by any other Extracts, is it not an incontestable proof of their greater excel lence? In every case where Dr. Price's Flavors are used they give perfect satisfaction. ually conscious that his protruding waistcoiit and voluminous mackintosh were fading away. In their ulace ap peared nothing at first but a little whirl ing column of mist. 1 resently that, too, vanished, and the doctor's voice grew fainter and fainter, till it utterly ceased. In place of seeing or hearing came such a sudden, vivid realization of the pres ence and reality of my friend that 1 glowed to the center of my soul with an unspeakable warmth of love and joy. The air-about me seemed to quiver with a penetrating, yet unseen, life and light. I was about to enter into the perfect and unutterable ecstacy of a spiritual beginning, when — Brom field street opened its slushy, dirty, length before me ; a compassionate by-stander assisted me to mv feet, while another brought me my hat, saying: "Well, my friend, your head had a pretty hard rap on the curb. 1 guess you must have lain unconscious for a minute or more." GRESHAM AS PREMIER. The Judjjc Said to Bo Slated as Cleveland's Secretary of State. The Appointment Soon to Be An nounced by the President- Elect. Chicaoo. Fob. B.— A special to the Herald from New York says: Judge Walter Q. Gresham, of Chicago, is to be secsetary of state in the Cleveland ad nnnisiratiou. This fact became known here today to a few persons. Tne offer of the post has been made to Judge Gresham and he has accepted. Mr. Cleveland himself will make the fact known in a day ot two. This selection will be sure to create some surprise when it becomes known. The rumor that Gresham was offered the place was circulated here some time afro ai.d was received with incredulity by many Dem ocrats. They did not deem it pos sible that Mr. Cleveland would go out side the ranks of his party tor a secre tary of state, and did not think Judge Gresham would accept, even if the tender was made him. But the experi ment has happened, and Judge Gresluun will in two weeks resign his seat on the bench and prepare to move to Wash nglon to taue up his duties as secretary ot state. Thus a man who four \vars ago was a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination is to become premier under the incoming Demo cratic nomination. TWO STICKS DYING. The Indian Murderer "Will Not Recover From His Wounds. Pine Ridge, Feb. B.— The Uncapapa boy Mark, wlso was the only one of the murderers of the four whites at the beef contractors' ranch on White Clay creek, was brought into the agency today. He was captured by the special detail, and is under guard at Young- Man-Afraid-qf-His-Horse's camp to night, lie will be turned over to the United States marshal tomor row. Two Sticks is expected to die before morning. White-Face Horse confessed juat before dying that old Two Stkks did not no into the dug out to participate in the kill ing, but remained outside on the hill and made signals so they would be sure to succeed. The bring ing of the murderer to the agency is likely to cause considerable excitement, but the whites and friendlies here have full confidence in Capt. Brown's ability to cope with the hostiles. A special from Robinson, where- the first battalion of the Ninth cavalry is stationed, reports that arrangements are being made there to get ready for the field. Horses are being shod, har ness mended and similar preparations for active service are in progress. There will be more reason for the statement that trouble is anticipated than the armed people have been willing to ad mit. USED THEIR FISTS. Personal Knconnter Between Two Illinois Republicans. Spuixofikld, 111.. Feb. B.—Congress man-eiect Cannon and State Senator Bacon had a personal encounter in the lobby of the Leland hotel this morning, which resulted in painful, but not seri ous, Injury to the congressman's nose and face. Cannon fell to the floor from the blows which were rained upon him, while tho senator, who is many years the congressman's junior, and has something of a reputation as an athlete, escaped without a scratcli. Each of the belligerents charged the other with be ing the aggressor, but the general be lief is that both of the men were rather •'eager for the fray." Cannon and Bacon have for some years been leaders of the Republican party. The congressman attributes his defeat in the congressional election two years ago to the opposition or lethargy of the Bacon faction. LOOKS LH4.K CHOLERA. Many Deaths in 3larseflles From Mysterious Diseases. Paris, Feb. B.— Forty-four citizens have died in Marseilles today of a chol eric disease. Nine of ttie cases were suspiciously like Asiatic cholera. The physicians appointed to make, a special investigation of t!ie diseases have been unable so far to make a satisfactory diagnosis. Microscopic examination has failed to reveal the presence of comma bacilli. Some of the physicians are inclined to the belief that the dis ease is intestinal influenza. The disease has been confined to the filthiest dis tricts, where the sanitation is in a de plorable condition. DEMOCRATS DIVIDE. A Split in Indiana Which May Re- suit Disastrously. Indianapolis, Feb. B.— A big row has developed on the Democratic side which may result in the enactment of a Republican legislative apportionment bill. Some time ago the senate passed a bill restoring to the gov ernor the right to appoint the trustees of the various penal and benevolent in stitutions, etc. The Democrats of the house caucussed on the bill and voted it down by a substantial majority. The defeated minority has threatened to pass the bill with the aid of Repub lican votes. Tonight a joint Demo cratic caucus wns |held to consider the legislative apportionment bill. None of the minority in the previous house caucus— those opposed to the restoration of the appointing power to the governor — were in attendance. As the Demo cratic- members of the senate were almost unanimously in favor of restora tion the antis feared that the restoration question would again be raised and mat in joint debate they would be beaten. This action on the part of the antis greatly incensed the restoratlonista, and they declared that if their opponents did not come into the caucus they would vote for the Repub lican reapportionment bill. Hanlan and Gaudaur Sign. Toronto, Feb. B.— llanlan aud Gau daur signed articles tonight to row for the championship of America and $1,000 a side in Toronto on July 22. Flouring Mills Durned.

Messrs.O'Con nor and Aiikkelson were the owners. Highest 01 all-in Leavening Power. — Latest U. S. Gov't Report ABSOLUTELY PURE AGAIXST CLOTURE. The Silver Repeal BUI Will Fol low the Usual Cou«'3e. Washington, Feb. B.— The report of the committee on rules on the silver question will come up in the house to morrow. This afternoon the advocates of the repeal of the Sherman act were in conference in the banking and currency committee rooms. Their hopes of securing cloture have grown less as the time for tak ing the vote has approached. A majority of the Democrats are agains it, and the efforts to secure suppor from the Republicans appear to hay failed. Mr. Reed, and the Eastern Re publicans generally, are in favor of kil 1 ing the "silver snake." as it is called, every time the opportunity presents it self;" but the Western Republicans, asa rule, refuse to follow the lead of their Eastern brethern. The Western leaders, Hop Kins and Lind, have a list of between thirty and forty Republicans who, they say, will oppose taking up the silver question at this time. Ue sides the free silver Republicans, this list includes most of the Republicans from Michigan, Kansas, Minnesota, Illi nois and Indiana, and also votes from other states. The lowa Republicans appear to be wavering and undecided. The Illinois and Indiana Democrats, with a few exceptions, are decidedly against Cloture on one ground or another, and in the South a number of members who favor action on thd silver question fear to commit themselves to an anti-filibustering policy. HOLMAN'S MOW KOLB. He Will Assist the Republicans in Fighting Pension Reform. Washington, Feb. S.— A lively pen sion fight is on in the house of repre sentatives. Unless all indications fail, there will be some very interesting de bates and sharp maneuvering on the floor of the house when the pension ap propriation bill is taken up for consid eration. A radical change in the pen sion policy is proposed. The change will be backed up by a major ity of the committee on appro priations and will be fought tooth aiul nail by the Republican minority, as sisted by Representative llolman, chairman of the committee, who is usually the most strenuous advocate in the committee of a reduction of expend itures. The proposed change in the pension policy has in view a considera ble reduction of the pension rolls, and of the enormous amount now paid out for pensions by purging the lists of the names of some of those now on it, and by usakins mure difficult the procure ment in some cases of a pension under the laws.

In the Republican house this afternoon a resolution was introduced regarding the election of a Populist senator in Nebraska,and extending the sympathies of tlie house to th« Republican minority ot the Nebraska legislature. The reso lution created a great deal of enthusiasm on the Republican side. IN LINK WITH GROVER. Senator Allen's Tariff Views the Same as Cleveland's.
