PHYSICAL EXERCISE. A Physician’? Notion of What is Good and Whatjia Bad for a Man to Do. Dr. S. fleet Spier in the Epoch. I am a sWong believer in physical cul ture. but physical culture is something en tirely differ*i)t from out lour spoils as they arc eurrieii on at present. Americans do not take nougli exercise. Many tiatients that come to the doctor need outdoor exer cise morethan they do medicine. As some one has said, the dyspepsia from which a man sufjbrs is oftentimes more in his legs than inAi s Stomach. The groat difficulty with cur sports is t'.iat they develop one set of .muscles at the expense of the others. A man who trains for a specialty is trailed only in the pails of the body brought chiefly into play in that particu lar sport or recreation." A tennis player trains in one way. a runner in another, while a boatman goes through an entirely differ ent course from either. Each of these ath letes is strong in one direction, but he has neglected general muscular exercises for the sake of developing a special locality. It will ■be found that the man who is physically strong in a special sport is w eak m some part of his body. A man, for instance, who intends to be a runner will so train as to de velop the muscles of his legs; but he will re duce the weight of his body above his legs in order to carry less weight. Pedestrianism is wholesome when indulged in for pleasure, but is bad in contests. The professional pedestrian finally becomes thor oughly broken up; the stomach and general system are exhausted by tsxi much exertion. ' Rowing is one of the best exercises if in dulged in moderately, but an oarsman can row’ in a contest until entirely exhausted, and not know it until he is taken from his boat paralyzed, so to speak. Base ball is full of danger, especially to the pitcher. So true is this that the base ball pitcher's arm, as well as the tennis ami, are recognized in the medical profession as special diseases. The exercise in base ball is very violent, and sooner or later causes overstrain. Tennis is a violent exercise, and is liable to be carried too far. Running is too much of an outburst to be of service in a general way, and is only good on account of the previous training necessary to follow it up. It carries its own remedy with it in the natural giving out of the legs before the rest of the body is ex hausted. Training should bring up the general physical status to a point that will enable it to endure its utmost, and with just a little to spare for the push of the urgent moment. There should be just enough strength left to make the finish better than the start — to break the record of the individual, so to speak, and leave him in better physical con dition than before. The sensible and physi ological way for a man to take outdoor sport is acting on medical authority, to de velop by special exercises the parts of his body that are w eak. If a man takes any pride in a systematically rounded physique he should give his whole attention to the organs that are weak. It is surprising to me that horseback exercise is not indulged in more than it is. Many young men spend enough money on their vices or follies to enable them to buy and keep a horse. I would suggest that for those who cannot own a horse, riding clubs might be formed. Let the horses be used by members of the clubs, just as boats are used by boating clubs. The expense of keeping the horses under such conditions, when divided up among members, would be small, and the horseback exercise could be varied with the more vigorous sports in which most young men now indulge. In that way the strength of the body would be more equal ized. The outskirts of New York and Brooklyn furnish many lanes and roads that lead through beautiful country, and the riders could not fail to enjoy themselves. I do not know of any outdoor exercise so suitable for menjas the sports of the field. Hunting is a healthful and a beneficial sport. There is just enough excitement about it to make the exercise you take bene ficial. While you are walking you are thinking about something of interest; while your body is being exercised your brain gets stimulus. Hunting is good for the well and good for many who are sick. I have known invalids, sent to the South with the advice that they should go shooting, to come back restored to health. The man who combines hunting in the field with horseback riding, as is done in the South has the best kind of outdoor recreation! Field sports are for young men; the older ones must be content with fishing or following the rabbit. I recall the case of the veteran writer for the sporting papers, Horace Smith. While yet a young man he was given up by his physician to die of consumption. He was iu business, and his doctor told him that he had better stop work and devote the remainder of his life to his dog and gun. Mr. Smith acted on the suggestion, and I am willing to admit that possibly the doctor advised better than he knew, for this same young man died only recently at the age of 80. In the sporting papers, to which he was a constant and val uable contributor,- he constantly made pub lic the fact that ho attributed his restored health to exercises taken in the field. REALITY IN DREAMLAND. A Man Meets a Family of Whom He had Dreamed Nightly. From tine Oakland Tribune. Twenty years ago a bachelor in Oakland dreamed of visiting a family consisting of parents and two little girls, who were un known to him in his waking hours. From that time forth he continued to dream of them for a score of years. He saw the children grow from childhood to womanhood. He was present at the closing exercises when they graduated. In fact, he shared alt the pleasures and griefs of this family. His friendship to his dreamland friends seemed so real that he often remarked that he telt certain that he would know them in reality at some future time. Two months ago he saw in a dream the husband die, and from that time he ceased to dream of them for the first time in a pe riod of twenty years. About six weeks ago he was astonished at receiving a letter from Now York city, the writer lxung the widow of a cousin of his, with whom he had never had any intercourse since his boyhood, over thirty years. The widow wrote that she wished to make Ran Francisco her future home. After exchanging a few letters it was arranged for him to meet her and the two daughters at the Oakland wharf upon the arrival of an Eastern train on a certain (lay. On their arrival, imagine his surprise to see his dream friends. They were equally so when he related his strange series of dreams in which they figured. He told them incidents connected with their past lives which lie could not have known under ordinary circumstances, liedescrilied their former home, even to the furniture and household ornaments, which was correct in evory particular. The sequel is that ho re cerrty married tho widow, and is living happily in tliis city. A Now Talo for the Nursery. From the Pall Mall Ornette. Every one is familiar with the - story of the mother whoso child hail boon carried off bv mi eagle, and who. to rescue her child, climbed alone to tho eyrie from which the boldest mountaineer shrank back appalled. This stock illustration of tho force of the maternal instinct is now capped by a bear story from Kavoy. A boar having kill's! a shepherd Ixiy, the villagers organ!red a hunt for tue animal.

The Peculiar Wave on the River Seine That Sunk the Steame- Romeo. The capsizing of the British steamer Ro meo on the River Seine, near Quillebceuf, at midnight on Thursday night, by which seven lives were lost, was the work of the mascaret —a mighty mass of w-ater in the form of a towering wall —caused by the conflict of the river current with a" high tidal wave. The velocity of the tidal wave in the broad ocean approaches 300 miles an hour, and the force of its collision witli an opposing stream when ascending the estua ries of a large river can only be imagined. A cable dispatch to the New York Herald , dated Quillebceuf near Yillequier, on the Seine (Sept. 23), is as follows; The loss of the British steamer Romeo which, after it bad stranded at Lavacquorie. near this little town, was swamped at mid night on Thursday, has added seven more souls to the long list of victims annually swallowed up by the mascaret. Among the seven was a Liverpool solicitor, Mr. Old tnon. The rest formed part of the crew. Mr. Bow'ring, owner of the Romeo, which was a magnificent vessel, built in 1883, had a terrible struggle with the waves, but managed to escape. The story he tells of his tight for life is strikingly dramatic. The mascaret was due at Lavacquerie a little be fore midnight, but Capt. Williams, the commander of the Romeo, supposed that the position of his vessel would enable it to resist the expected shock. Mr. Bowring was on deck when the disaster occurred. “Through the darkness,’’ he says, “amid a tremendous noise, we suddenly perceived a white wan tea ioec high barring the Seine and advancing at lightning speed. The first wave knocked the vessel round, shifting her position so that she lay athwart the stream. The sec ond wave swamped her altogether. 1 was on the bridge with my poor friend Oldman, the Captain and several men when we were caught by the rush of water and hurried into the river with the sailors who happened to be on deck. Six poor fellows, mostly Scandinavians, sank to the bottom. The shock was so violent that Oldman was washed against some railings and broke his leg. Two sailors hurried to his assistance and plunged in the stream after him, re gardless of danger, but the current had swept him away. I heard all this later, for the violence of the flood had earned me a long distance from the vessel. I had on a pair of heavy hunting boots, while over a tuick suit I had an ulster which paralyzed my movements. There seemed absolutely no chance for me, but I did not give iu and struck out desperately for dear life. For an hour and a quarter I managed to keep afloat, battling with the tide, which pre vented my approaching the shore, even if I could have seen it. My ankli-s and wrists were covered with bruises, and my clothes were all torn to rags, when I at last suc ceeded in making tno north bank, and sank down in a meadow flooded with water. Rising, I stumbled on straight ahead, half dead with fatigue, till I reached a road which led me to Villequier, where I took shelter at an inn. It was then 2:15 o’clock. Other survivors owed their escape to having taken refuge on the keel of the steamer.” The mascaret had, as usual, attracted hundreds of sightseers—artists, scientists and tourists—from Paris. Many make a point of never missing the magnificent spectacle. Among them was M. Camille Flammarion, the well-known astronomer, who gave the following scientific explana tion of the mascaret: “The mascaret, or la barre, is caused by the collision of the Seine and the sea at exceptionally high tides. The Seine, flowing tranquilly toward the ocean, meets a strange obstacle— suddenly finds its course barred. The ocean opposes its pas sage. The Seine struggles, resists, over flows right and left and tries to get by, but, rising like a dense, impenetrable wall, the oceau furiously forces the river to roll back impetuously in a seething mass often sev eral yards nigh twenty-five kilometres to ward its source, destroying buildings and swamping vessels on its course In an in stant the peaceful river seems transformed into a boiling sea. Woe betide the luckless traveler who tries to cross the stream just then. “You remember what happened to the daughter of Victor Hugo and her husband, Charles Vacqueri. They were rowing at Villequier one day forty-four years ago when they were surprised by the mascaret and drowned, with a man and a boy who accompanied them. “The flood passes in five minutes, but the phenomenon is repeated three or four days in succession. Mascarets occur in the Gironde and a few other rivers including one in America, the name of which I for got, but they are trifling compared with those on the Seine. Another very violent mascaret is due Oct. 18. The exact day and minute of the flood’s arrival are always known in advance and warning given; but despite this disasters continually lum pen. As I mentioned in one of my books the churchyard of Villequier tells the dread tale of havoc worked by the mascaret. “Certain peculiar conditions are required to produce the phenomenon. The river must flow swiftly in the direction of the approaching flood; next, it must widen con siderably; lastly, the bottom must rise gradually from the mouth toward the source. Then, as the first waves spread in the shallower water, they are outrun by those following, which roll over them obedient to the mechanical law that the speed of waves increases with the depth of the stream.” A MYSTERIOUS^LUNATIC. The Case of Nellie Brown, Who Is So Pretty and Speaks Spanish. From the Philadelphia Press. New Yobk, Sept. 25. —Matron Irene Steward, of the Temporary Home for Fe males, No. 84 Second avenue, found herself on Friday in possession of a human conun drum which she yesterday turned over to Justice Duffy, at the Essex Market Police Court, with the result of perplexing him as to what to do with it. The puzzle is a pret ty, modest and well-dressed girl, lfl years of age, who gives her name as Nellie Brown, am l is evidently insane. She came to the home on Friday and during the night fright ened the matron by insisting that she should have a pistol w'ith which to protect herself from somebody who wanted to take her mon ey away from her. To the magistrate she told a rambling, disconnected story,the bur den of which was that she did not know where she came from, but that she used to live in Cuba on a hacienda, and that she wanted to go to New York. The Cuba fea ture of the story was evidently correct, as while she was at tho home on Friday anoth er girl who had Uien taking Spanish lessons spolce a few words in that umgnoge and the unfortunate girl liegan to converse in Span ish. Suddenly she put her hands to her head and exclaimed; “It is all gone!” Af ter that she could not recollect a word of Spanish. She also said she spoke French and Italian. She had in her pocket only 33c. and a memorandum book containing a lot of incoherent entries. According to the story she told an inmate of the home, her mother died at her birth. Her father, whose name she gave as Juan Marina, she seemed to remember perfectly, and her grandmother who kept house for them. After the death of her father she was under the care of one called Ignatius or Ignatia. She spike vaguely about sailing on the Mis sissippi, and uuother of the ImuaD* of the home intending to go to Boston nuked what time the Fall River Inal left.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1887. Plain Speak in ?. From the Youth's Companion. Prince Orloff was the most trusted adviser of the Czar, Nicholas I. He owed his accession to favor to a blow of his fist. While he was aid-de camp, one of the regiments had mutinied, and the Czar, feeling that a look would reduce the men to obedience, stepped in front of them, accompanied only by Orloff, and asked: “Have you any com plaint, my children 1 Whoever has anything to say to me, step forward.” To his great surprise several soldiers did advance, and. oije of them leveled his weapon at the emperor. Orloff instantly stepped forward and struck the man dead with a blow of his fist. The emperor was grateful, and Orloff rose, step by-step, until lie became chief of the secret police of the empire, an official be fore whom ull classes trembled. Yet the emperor occasionally treated him like a schoolboy. At oue time some secret infor lotion in regard to military affairs had became public property. The emperor, vexed at this, sent for Orloff, and received turn .a i.i, lUuio.-t nl-L mper. “ What have 1 a police tor.” heexclaimed. “Your majesty must know that best.” “Quite right; only I don’t Know what good it is. "And if you don’t give me, in twenty-four hours, the name of the traitor who let out the secret you are cashiered.” “Oh,” replied Orloff, quite calmly, “my police is so excellent that I do not require twenty-four hours to give your majesty the name of the traitor.” “You know him then? You know who it is?” “I know what I know, your majesty, but I can only tell it at the emperor’s express command” “1 give you that command.” “The traitor whom your majesty is look ing for is Nicholas Paulowich, emperor of all the Russias —who always forgets, when he talks about state business, and especially military measures, in the empress’ drawing room, that each of the ladies of the court present has not only two oars, but also brothers, cousins and relations in the arm}-, to whom they tell everything they havd heai and. And every word the emperor speaks spreads like wild-fire through the city.” Orloff was not cashiered; doubtless the emperor admired his courage in speakiug his mind. 12k£c. for Breakfast Strips at Strauss Bros’.
