Exo-mbcSlid) and (hr Urk of tank
[Chicago Tribnne.)
Compare the form ami health
hoy at sixteen with a girl of the
age. Why shoufd the girl
slender, so frail, and so
The answer is plain. She Knot al
lowed to use and thus develop her
muscles and hones. Food* and exer-
rise are the necessary terms of play
ful growth. She geUt neither. Girls
should use and devdktp every nc scle
and every bontv4h:it will favor the
circulation qf-'fhe Wood, remove old
particles and deposit new in all their
organs and tissues. They need not
cry, hut they may laugh heartily at
auy time and in any place proper for
vdi of growth. The delight
in! ex civ" so iias all the advantage of
crying in inlancv. Mothers who are
hh-ssed with daughters should begin
early in life, when the muscles and
bone are p ! i..ble, to train them. As
soou as they begin to creep, teach
rften. to ere. p “ on all fours,”
and thus expand their lungs and
strengthen their chests; teach them
when their ribs are soft and yielding,
“ Vo take a long breath” many times
a day, and then, when they enter
school, their teachers should continue
the same exercises and others which
have a tendency to develop the chest,
containing the essential organ of life
that creates vital lilood and drives it
through all its rounds giving form
and beauty to their persons. Gales-1
;he ics will do more towards strength
ening and enlarging their hones and
their muscles, and dounoie towards
making them useful women, than ail
♦lie modern languages of the world.
Moderate cxer-ise of the muscles de
velops and strengthens them; and so
moderate exercise of tin* mental
faculties cnl rges and strengthens
them. Our girls should not be con
fined to tin ir hooks more lban six
hours in the twenly-f'mir. Exclusive
Undying weakens the mind and the
body. No people <>n the face of the
earth do so much towards enfeebling
ooltfasjhe Americans. We'do not
to um lri 1 ' . .7'
Wehmvncate it; but wo do object to
the Vcrv common neglect of develop-
| *
»ng the body. Muscles and hones
never grow stronger by indolence or
disuse. How unwise to sacrifice the
tiealih of the body to the cramming
of the mind. Develop them both.
Give girls a sound body and a sound
mind. What are many of our well-
educated girls good for? Feeble,
sickly bodies, with weaker brains!
Gills need nutritious food and coin*
slant exercise to change that f< od to
vigor and strength. To obtain the
greatest amount of good from food
and exercise, they must begin eai ly.
It is rather late in the dav to improve
a house when it lias no firm founda-
dation, when its brick and mortar are
Silling into decay. A physician may
do something towards lessening the
ten’s Part in Home-Mak
ing.
Most of the preachments we have
seen from . the text of happy homes
have been aimed at the women.
Most tnen seem to think they havy
little to do in creating an 11 at-inos-
80 phere of home.’’ Their forte lies in
ased?- bieathing and enjoying tin* atmos
phere after somebody else has made*
it. Men are too busy, too much
preoccupied, too impasient and
thoughtless, and—it must he said of
Some of them—too selfish to do their
fair share of that preeminently mil
lennial work, the creating of a happy
home, wherein love reigns supreme,
and amiability, affection, cheerful
ness, joy ami peace are the natural
conditions of family life.
Now, in certain things man lias
been a constitutional shirk, from the
lime of Adam—if the scientific gen
tlemen have left ns any Adam—
down to this day. Men will fight
for their homes, and make slaves of
themselves to their business to main
tain them; but like the proverbial
man who would die for a woman,
but never would bring up a scuttle of
coal, they can’t tell what their chil
dren are studying at school, who
their mates arc, what they are learn
ing of good or evil, nor hardly any
thing else that a father ought to
know concerning his offspring. But
we maintain that a man who hasn’t
time to he a father to his children,
with all that includes, has no right to
have any. He wrongs them, robs
himself, puts an unjust responsibility
upon the mother, and neglects his
highest duties, human and divine.
'I here are so many ways in which
a father may contribute to a happy
home life, that it seems strange the
number of houses should so greatly
exceed the hemes. It takes so little
to make children happy at home that
it is a wondrous pity so many little
ones are miserable, or uneasy, or
discontented. If for an hour after
1he evening un-al the father should
give him.-elf to his children, would
the knottier wear j out so fast, or the
chiUren be so lawless, troiiblcif****-

—bo! 11 parties is a
pap'i’S frolic with the babies! What
an interest is added to the hook, the
drawings, the games, or even the
studies, if father enters into them!
How much it lightens the drudgery
of piano practice lbr the daughter if
papa calls for and praises her efforts!
It is strange that with such sweet
companionship, such pure affection,
such unselfish enjoyment, such nat
ural happiness, as maybe- bad with
the children, nun do not give more
time to their homes.
We hardly need say that a man
should set the example for the fotrily
in patience, cheerfulness, courtesy,
forbearance, and all the amiable
moods and graces that are the sou!
of borne happiness. The sort of men
who display all their suavity and
politeness on the street sr at their
Russia’s Terms of Peace.

A special despatch from Vicjtfui to

special correspondents say that tlie
Russians have collected only sufficient
pontoon material for two or three
crossings.”
The Berlin Militar Wocfuatblalt
estimates the Russians in Romnania
ami neighborhood at 200,000, in
cluding 27,000 cavalry. -x
The special correspondent-o^. the
News at the Russian headquarters
professes to give further details of
Prince GortchakofTs reply to Earl
Derby, as follows: “If the Turks
make pence directly Russia crosses
the Balkans, Russia will lie ready to
accord peace, but otherwise she
would have no alternative hut to
conquer and to dictate peace to tin*
Porte. If England wishes to prevent
the Russians bom entering Constan- j
tiuopic she has only to exert her
influence upon the Turks in order to
induce them to yield immediately
after the Balkans are passed. It is
only lair to say that the idea among
the Russians is that half measures
«ill not suffice. Bulgaria must be
come as autonomous as Sorvi.t and j,
