Miss Susan B. Anthony, who is in excellent health, celebrated recently her eighty-third birth- day by announcing her Intention of giving her en- tire collection of books to the Congressional Library' at Washington, where they will he placed in an alcove dedicated to her. These book? form the largest collection of woman suffrage literature and history in the world. Lndy Morgan's books, writ- ten fifty years ago on woman's rights, form part of this library. WOULD VOTE ON SCHOOL QUESTION* The Local Council of Rochester. New-York. In in- vestigating the Question of school suffrage for women, found that an amendment to the constitu- tion would be nocf-ss.iry. and an effort will he made to secure legislation to that end which will give school franchise to the women of the citien of tne « P cond and third classes. A petition Is be- ing circulated, and it Is said a strong appeal willbe made to the legislature. REPORT FROM FLORIDA. Mrs. Annie Wears, of Ferndale. Fla.. reports that she has received more easy school books for the young scholars of her Sunshine school, a kindness for which she is grateful. Mrs. Wears continued her school until the last of October, when she was attacked with her old malady, lung trouble, and has been obliged to remain in bed ever since. The days that she feels well enough to sit up In bed the children come to her and recite their lessons, as they are so anxious to learn. That Mrs. Wears in her feeble condition is willing to give her services in the name of Sunshine to confer a benefit on these isolated children is little short of heroism. "On Christmas Day they came to sing to me.' She writes, "and I sent them away each happy with a small package of cheer-all that I was able to provide—and I. too. was happy In their joy. They are so good to me. offering little services, bring- ing oysters and sometimes a fish Just out of the water to tempt my appetite. As soon as the warm days come I expect to be able to go out. and then I shall resume my regular hours of school again; four more children wish to join. A Florida mem- ber has sent me a package of picture cards and Sunday school books, so I could have a Sun day school also for my little band. While I have not been able to have them come every Sabbath day. ItIs surprising how well they f .ing and how Inter- ested they are to have me tell them Bible stories. I have taught them to make scrapbooks. and any Picture cards for this purpose will be greatly ap- preciated. I have another request to make which concerns the comfort of a poor old man. He needs a double truss, and I thought perhaps some .one might have such an article to 'pass on. His lire is a misery for want of this article, and he Is too poor to get one. I would gladly pay expressage on It as mv share toward his comfort. I am deeply grateful for the cheer I received from the office. TO FIND HAPPINESS No man shall ever find happiness while seeking It for himself. The self-cer.tred man cannot be happy. He may find gold, he may acquire knowl- edge he may achieve fame, he may have pleasure in the world, but all these car.not pour one ray of genuine bliss into a self-centred soul. Let one who is unhappy do what he can to relieve the sorrows of others, and his own sorrow will be turned into Joy. Let the burdened soul do what he can to bear the burdens of others, and his own burdens shall become light as air. Let him whose life is bitter begin to do what he can to sweeten the lives of others, and his own life will become sweeter still. Let him whose life Is narrow do what he can to enlarge the lives of others, and his own life will become broad and deep and rich. "Give, and it shall be given unto you: good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over. — (Nashville Christian Advocate. All letter* and paclia*e» Intended for the T. *•.

"You need to have lived with your garden at least a whole year before you know half that it contain?." cried a young man-ied woman enthusi- astically the other day When she was first married, eight months ago. she and her young husband went to live in a dear. old fashioned country house in Westchester County. It was the last of June then, and the roses in the garden were in full bloom. In July and August came the poppies, stately perennials with petals burning like flames; In September came the asters and zinnias with rich tints to gladden the eye far into the golden days of autumn; and. last of all. when the garden was stripped and hare— a fragrant memory—the hardy chrysanthemum had nodded with blossoms. •'I thought." said the happy possessor or this garden, "that I knew every nook and corner of it hy the time the r"hrysanthemum» had faded. I had simply revelled in It-you see. it was the first time In all my life f had ever owned a garden. But I was mistaken. As T ?wy. one needs to know a garden at least a year before one has done with surprises. "And this is because," she went on. "so many loving hands have been busy burying hidden treas- ures there long before you came. Of course, I am speaking of an old garden, not a new one Just laid out by a gardener and resembling a modern apart- ment house with its spick and spanness! As to surprises. T wil! show you what T mean. "One morning last wet-k I was walking around. wondering where, when the summer came. w<> could put a row of tiny thatched bee cottages (you know. Robert and I are so fond of honey!*, when .sud- denly, right at my feet, what do you suppose T saw? Snowdrops— fine, double snowdrops! They had sprung up through an ambu«h of dead leaves with the suddenness of fairies in a Christ msis pantomime. "Perhaps there is no wile of one's garden that so caotlvates a woman an this coquetry of surprise. To" think that all these days the snowdrops have been working away at ascending («tem and white. white flower with inner petals delicately tipped with green! Oh. the patience and the punctuality of natural things' And, again, the surprises of them!" she concluded, with a smile. Too Much Time Given to It in Gymnasiums, Say. Dr. Arnold. Basketball got a Kmart rap from Dr. Arnold In the third lecture o? hi» course on "Playing and Gaming." at No. 309 East Forty -second-st. on Sat- urday aftemoop. "A gieat deal of injustice In committed in our gymnasium wcrk." said hi-, "by our devotion to highly organized game*, which take in only a few skilful players, and emphasize continually the spirit of competition. Such Kan" I ** are showy, and give opportunity to develop a few highly specialised players. But Justice to the | whole class demands more time Riven to games which all can play. v "A good example of a gymnasium craw i*> found i m basketball. In many gymnasiums it Is the only game played. No matter whither the children are ready for it or not. the only idea is to organize a team and beat some one. "There have been any number of schemes among our pupils at New-Haven to get out of gymnastics and play only basketball, often when the pupils were not fit. either mentally or physically, for the game. It has simply become a fad. There are now professional teams, of both mm and women, and the game will have a run until it reaches the crisis which has been witnessed in baseball. COMPETITION FIERCE. "It Is not only that injustice is done the pupils who do not get a chance to play in these highly organized games, but injury is done the players by the fierce spirit of competition roused. It it» | dangerous to awaken that desire to excel in chll- i dren. because children have not sense enough to know when they have gone far enough. It Is spe- cially dangerous to awaken it In those children j who are apt to nervous. high strung chil- dren who are often injured both physically and mentally by such a policy. I was guilty of such tack of wisdom myself in my younger days. I can remember little boys who excelled with the ap- paratus, and whom I pushed and pushed, to gratify their own ambition and .-nine. Now that they are men. they do net amount to much. "There are grown "up people, as well as chil- dren, who have not sense, enough to stop when they ought to—who let their ambitions wear them out. There is no need to bring the present day etrenuousnese of life into the plays of children. The game is not worth the candle. "Play the frames of low- organization. In wnlcn all can join, and in which the children have simply healthy fun, without this nervous strain to bent their fellows. "Here is a game, for instance, which brings in the whole class: Have two sides, each with a row of club« stood up. Every child has a beanbas:. and the side that knocks down most clubs with the beanbags wins. There is a game in which there is no great star carrying off all the* glory—no fierce . personal competition. It is a group competition, everything each wins counting for the glory of his side. Yet it is a game cultivating sight, aim and muscular control, and enabling the whole class to play. "Games which cultivate the Judgment are those which give a choice of action. The player can do one of two things, or one of more than two things. When you get to baseball there !s an infinite range of choice, for no two games of baseball were ever just alike, and no one inning is ever just like an- other. And baseball gamos are lost, not by lack of athletic ability, but by lack of Judgment. The trouble is not to catch the ball, but to know what to do with it after it Is caught. Where to throw the that's the question. And if you will re- flect, you will see that, so far as circumstances permit us to have any free will at all. our success or failure in life depends upon our choice of ac- tion, often upon our quick choice of action. So that we cannot begin to train this Important qual- ity in children too young." GAME WITH MANY PLATERS. The professor then gave a practical demonstra- tion of some of the games that demand a large number of players. One of these was "Who's afraid of the black man?" in which all the players but one stand on one side of the ground, with the one who Is "It" on the other. It" calls "Who's afraid of the black man?" The crowd replies. "I'm not," and runs for the other side. Whomever "It" catches has to join him as a catcher, and this proceeds till all are caught and transferred to the catcher's side. This game is extremely simple in organiza- tion, but it involves a great deal of hard running and dodging, and so is a splendid out-of-door game. Itis a very old game. "Who's afraid of the mack man?" might argue an American origin, but It is also called "Fish Swim" and "Kimo." the latter being probably a corruption of some ancient word which had a meaning suited to the game. "Black and White" is an extension of the same game, though much more complicated. The play- ers take sides, and stand at opposite ends of the ground, back to back. One side is the "Blacks" and the other the "Whites." If "It"calls "Black" the "Blacks" turn around and rush for the opposite goal, the "Whites" catching as many as possible In transit. If "It"calls "White" the reverse takes place, and the game shows how the mental uncer- tainty as to whether "It" will call "Black" or "White" makes reaction slow and the start diffi- cult. This game is excellent to train quick thought and self-control. The love of rope skipping by little girls shows that the love of activity is inherent in every child. Girls, from their anatomical construction, cannot use their arms and shoulders for athletic exercise as boys do. The most natural athletic development for them is through the lower limbs. Boys do not Jump the rope, although it is a very athletic and skilful exercise, because there Is no element of competition in It. There must be some Incentive to "beat" some one in a boys' game, but girls do not demand this element in their games at all. They are more Individual In their games, as boys are more gregarious. Boys play marbles together; girls play jackstraws alone, although there Is no reason why they could not learn to play marbles if they wanted to. Y. W. C. A. LENTEN SERVICES. There will be a special course of services given In the hall of the Young Women's Christian Associa- tion during Lent. They will given t>n Tuesdays, the Rev. Dr. William M. Grosvenor beginning the course on March 3. followed by these weli known pastors of New- York City churches: The Rev. Dr. Edward Judson. the Rev. Dr. Charles E. Jefferson. the Rev.

Rub a little Into the hacks of the hands-after drying with the towel. A little >oi.J cream put on with a face ras or Holt ci..th is : good substitute for soap and water. It keeps the skin smooth and soft, at the same time cleansing it effectively. A solution of powdered alum in the proportion of one teaspoonful to a cup of cold water is ex- cellent for relieving chilblains. Sponge the feet or bind on clotns .lipped in the alum and water, but do not soak the feet in it. I'owderrd pumice, moistened and rubbed on superfluous hair several times daily, will. It is said, remove this distressing affliction from the hands and arms. Th- hair is sure to return, however, unless permanently destroyed by the electric needle.

"The public is at last waking up to the fact." said Miss Mary E. Thornton, secretary of the Norses* Association of the United States, yes- terday, "that, while the nurses' registration bill aims primarily to give trained nurses a legal status, the actual and material benefits will be reaped wholly by the ill and convalescent of the public at large. "The defeat of the bill could not in any way affect us Individually who are working for it. We have takes our training, and the majority of those who are identified with the promotion of the till are either ex-nurses or too well known to the medical profession to require any additional back- ing. It is only in the interest of the nursing pro- fession as a whole, and the standard of service the public has .a right to expect of it, that the Armstrong bill now before the legislature has been framed "I say the Armstrong bill, because there is an- other measure, known at Albany as the Nye bill, which has been introduced, evidently, to supersede our bilL It is not at all specific in its provisions, merely requiring registration on the nurse's per- sonal affidavit that she is "all she ought to be' both personally and professionally. Our bill pro- vides for the issuance of certificates by the Board of Regents to such nurses as have taken at least a two years* course in a general hospital. - • "It stand* to reason that the so-called trained ' nurses* who are turned out monthly by small pri- vate sanatorium?, 'cottage hospitals.* with half m. dozen beds, perhaps, and treating only one phase of cisease. or even by corporations giving instruc- tion by lecture only, with a sprinkling of house- work, but no actual hospital experience at ai ; . -houlJ not be registered as all around trained "-urpe«.

What • Ist. ind~*d. can you expect? FOR LOVE OF THE UNIFORM. \u25a0•Vow. when the earning of a livelihood is Bet- •mg- to be an increasingly interesting problem with women, the salary and uniform of the trained nurse are becoming increasingly attractive. Yes, it ... nis scarcely credible, but L know of two in- stances, at least, where young women adopted the profession only because they found the uniform becoming. They work»-d for something like $10 or Jl2 \u25a0 month ia a. small 'special hospital* where they' saw ro surgical work whatever, and at the •nd of three or four months, one, giving her name to a nursee* registration bureau, was assigned to tttp <-hargp of a very Important operation.

What we want is only In line with earlier laws providing for the registration of physicians and the Ueemwre of druggists. It would not prohibit any one from going out independently as a nurse or a physician employing any sort of an assistant he j.lvaiMfi. any more, than the present licensing of physicians prevents one's grandmother prescribing herb tea. But as matters stand now thousands of lives are lost and the nursing profession constantly brought Into disgrace through the avarice or care- lesgnesF of untrained, undisciplined pretenders. Why. more is required of plumbers and bricklayers l-tfore they are allowed to class themselves as skilled workmen than the public now requires of those to whose care the lives of loved ones are in- truetf-d.

Truly, it was very provoking. And not only had he come to Cortina-that was bad enough in Itself-but he had actually found her open air studio by the torrent, and ensconsed himself there as if he intended to remain. No wonder an indig- nant flash shone in her gray eyes as she stood looking disdainfully at hi 3 broad back. . A fine Irish terrier lay beside him. and Ada had her fox terrier Scamp with her. and it was not many seconds before the dogs had scented each other The Irish terrier sat up briskly and pointed his ears, while Scamp bristled his neck and looked even more indignant than his mistress, preparing at once to dispense with all" formality and turn the strangers out with the least possible delay. "Down Scamp, down:" she exclaimed peremp- torily, and the Englishman looked around. For one moment they eye.l eacn other— he coolly and with a little curiosity, she with the same slight touch of disdain. Then she threw down her golf cape and took her usual seat, with her writing- pad on her knee, and the stranger returned to his book. At a signal from tneir respective owners, the two dogs lay still. They took care, however, that it should be in a position in which each could see the slightest movement on the part of the other, wnicn did not improve matters for the two workers^ as they had to constantly order the dogs to lie down and" it was distracting. Ada kept biting the end of her pencil and staring at the water, wishing newcomer at Hanover with all her heart Jhe stranger did not lift his eyes except to his dog. i but this he had to do sufficiently often to considera- j bly Impede his progress. Yet neither offered to move. «__•««. The reader considered, as first comer he had the prior right: the writer, with a woman s delightful disregard of pros and cons, practically considered the whole torrent her own property. At last the does precipitated the nrst climax at a I single dash. A rabbit, little dreaming what Issue , was at stake, suddenly hopped out of the brush- wood and peeped around. Instantly both animals made a frantic dash-the rabbit vanished and the dogs met. Before either owner could move they were at each other's throats. ... "Scamp.

This is nothing more nor less than a clubhouse for the maids employed In the college. They intend to make the club self-sup- porting, and in Its main features Itis to be like any other working girls' club. Classes which already have been started among the maids by the students will be continued: instruction in whatever subjects the club desires will be given, and if necessary outside teaching will be engaged. Classrooms on the second floor and a parlor, reading room and kitchen on the first are included in the plans. The seen.- of a brave woman's work not a hun- dred years ago Is being levelled to the ground, but the transformation she effected in the condition of thousands of her sex held in captivity will live forever in the memory of the English speaking race. In IH4 the prison of Newgate was first vis- ited by Mrs. Elizabeth Fry. Up to that time the state of the female prisoners was dreadful. Idle, abandoned, riotous and drunken, they were herded together indiscriminately, the only distinction be- ing between the tried and the untried. The change effected by Mrs. Fry and her helpers was rapid and remarkable. The most degraded of the women showed the effect of the teachings; the worst be- came orderly, quiet and Industrious, and all grew cleaner and neater. Many learned to read, and others sat knitting with the kindly visitors. Two of the committee visited them daily and helped individual prisoners. Their handiwork, such as knitting, spinning and patchwork, was sold for them and they were encouraged to put by the proceeds against their coming out again. Schools were started, both for the women and the children. Of one hundred thousand manufactured articles of work, not one was stolen. Many of the women kept under supervision by the committee pre- served good characters as servants or in their homes after leaving Newgate, and those who re- ceived small loans on their discharge to help them start again repaid by weekly instalments with surpassing regularity A few days aw the sale by auction of the principal fittings and other relics of Newgate Prison took place. The degree of in- terest felt by the people of London in the prison of the Newgate, which for a thousand years hail been a place of captivity, may be gathered from the fact that for three days prior to the sale tne nubile trod the dark, forbidding corridors and Fteep stairways of the ancient prison in a con- tinuous stream- To this time the door of the old debtors' prison has been known as Mrs. Fry s door and it was bought by a prominent Londoner as a relic of the days when the woman philan- thropist transformed a filthy den of corruption into a clean, whitewashed room. "Before these days of delightfully written and widely distributed descriptions cf passing events, conversation was regarded as an artistic accom- plishment, and valued a great deal more highly than it Is at present." said a matron. "We hear so many curious facts, wo see so much more of the world than our coach-travelling ancestor?, that the spirit of astonishment Is less easily conjured than of old. when the sciences had destroy ed fewer of our illusions and mankind was less analytical. <*rispness. conciseness anJ humor are the indis- pensable ingredients of tne dish offered to the jaded mental appetites of the old and young of to-day. Tysons in the art of conversation should be considered quite as necessary '-» a girl whose mind is expanding in the not nous*' of her little school world as' notion in the sciences op modem languages. The chlel difficulty, apart from the girl herself, would be to find a teacher competent to make the study both profitable and interesting. But the cause is well worth a strug- gle, and the only thin« is steady, serious, daily cultivation. Some people are bor 1 with a turn for conversation: It comes by nature to them to make the apt repartee, the sympathetic phrase, when occasion calls for it; others have the airy manner, the speaking glance from liquid eyes, the reserve thawing, contagious laugh. These are gifts of the favored few: but we are all endowed with the faculty of intelligible speech, and it be- hooves us to regard the making the utmost of it — not as a mere frivolity, but as a duty to our social neighbors." "Vagabondage is a state which a prominent bishop recently took occasion to recommend as a salutary corrective to the -.leadening influence of th*> routine life people are more or less likely to fall into." said a man yesterday. "This counsel has not the episcopal ring one would expect from stoch a source, but. happily. tHe public mind has broadened, and what would once have shocked and scandalized does so no longer, for it has been found that the best and wisest ecclesiastics are those who b!d people steer clear of grooves, if we do not. the rush and tear and pressure of life in our great cities become unbearable. To most of those who bear the stress of high pressure life there come times when we long to break loose from the shackles of routine, it is this tendency toward the spirit of vagabondage that has made the Anglo-Saxon race the greatest colonists in the world and the most indefatigable of tourist*. Our fads—the devotion to ping pong, the passion for bridge, the recent craze for cycling, not to mention the present outbreak of automobilism— all proceeded from this root, the desire to break away from the sameness and the monotony of life. It is this same quickening bnpal »c within us that makes us give welcome to so many strangers who come within our gates, that gives us our love of Independence and a desire to be up and doing, hewing out new paths in all directions of life. COLORADO TRAVELLING LIBRARIES. The Travelling Library Committee of the Colorado State Federation has Just published Its third annual report, a neat Mttle lavender and white pamphlet. Mrs. A. M. Wells, the chairman, reports thirty boxes collected during the last year, making over eighty In all. The City Council continued its ap- propriation, made the year before at the request of the clubwomen, for the support of two district libraries in Denver. The committee bought a flue encyclopaedia tor one of these libraries, and to various other email libraries presented fifty boons. The boxen now contain four thousand volume*, mainly fiction and Juvenile*, with a Judicious inter- mixture of history, travel, biography and sociology. A feature of th* list year has been the co-operation of a coal company, which has used a large number of the boxes in the reading room, and schools of It- various coal camps Many of the Cotorato clubs, which hud previously given boxes named after the club, have thi* year given other*, named after \u25a0 to'irA'T of th- club, or some one rise «peciaii> "or* ft? of honor Tin- committee h-.s Introd I • bill .a tie 'e-^iature to- the creation of a State travelling library commission, to which tbe *•««*»- NOB *>fH!§F WOW* 5

WOULD VOTE ON SCHOOL QUESTION*The Local Council of Rochester. New-York. In in-
vestigating the Question of school suffrage forwomen, found that an amendment to the constitu-
tion would be nocf-ss.iry. and an effort will he
made to secure legislation to that end which willgive school franchise to the women of the citienof tne «Pcond and third classes. A petition Is be-ing circulated, and it Is said a strong appeal willbe
made to the legislature.
REPORT FROM FLORIDA.Mrs. Annie Wears, of Ferndale. Fla.. reports that
she has received more easy school books for the
young scholars of her Sunshine school, a kindnessfor which she is grateful. Mrs. Wears continuedher school until the last of October, when she was
attacked with her old malady, lung trouble, andhas been obliged to remain in bed ever since. The
days that she feels well enough to sit up In bed
the children come to her and recite their lessons,
as they are so anxious to learn. That Mrs. Wears
in her feeble condition is willingto give her services
in the name of Sunshine to confer a benefit on
these isolated children is little short of heroism.
"On Christmas Day they came to sing to me.'
She writes, "and Isent them away each happy with
a small package of cheer-all that Iwas able to
provide—and I.too. was happy In their joy. They
are so good to me. offering little services, bring-
ing oysters and sometimes a fish Just out of the
water to tempt my appetite. As soon as the warmdays come Iexpect to be able to go out. and then
Ishall resume my regular hours of school again;
four more children wish to join. A Florida mem-ber has sent me a package of picture cards andSunday school books, so Icould have a Sunday
school also for my little band. While Ihave not
been able to have them come every Sabbath day.
ItIs surprising how well theyf.ing and how Inter-
ested they are to have me tell them Bible stories.
Ihave taught them to make scrapbooks. and any
Picture cards for this purpose will be greatly ap-
preciated. Ihave another request to make whichconcerns the comfort of a poor old man. He needsa double truss, and Ithought perhaps some .onemight have such an article to 'pass on. His lire is
a misery for want of this article, and he Is too poorto get one. Iwould gladly pay expressage on Itas mv share toward his comfort. Iam deeplygrateful for the cheer Ireceived from the office.
TO FIND HAPPINESSNo man shall ever find happiness while seeking It
for himself. The self-cer.tred man cannot be
happy. He may find gold, he may acquire knowl-
edge he may achieve fame, he may have pleasure
in the world, but all these car.not pour one ray ofgenuine bliss into a self-centred soul. Let one who
is unhappy do what he can to relieve the sorrows
of others, and his own sorrow will be turned intoJoy. Let the burdened soul do what he can to bear
the burdens of others, and his own burdens shallbecome light as air. Let him whose life is bitterbegin to do what he can to sweeten the lives ofothers, and his own life will become sweeter still.Let him whose life Is narrow do what he can toenlarge the lives of others, and his own life will
become broad and deep and rich. "Give, and it
shall be given unto you: good measure, presseddown, and shaken together, and running over.

NOTICE.
THE SUKPEISES OF OLD GARDENS."You need to have lived with your garden at
least a whole year before you know half that itcontain?." cried a young man-ied woman enthusi-astically the other day
When she was first married, eight months ago.
she and her young husband went to live in a dear.old fashioned country house in Westchester County.
It was the last of June then, and the roses in thegarden were in full bloom. In July and August
came the poppies, stately perennials with petalsburning like flames; In September came the astersand zinnias with rich tints to gladden the eye farinto the golden days of autumn; and. last of all.when the garden was stripped and hare—a fragrantmemory— the hardy chrysanthemum had noddedwith blossoms.
•'I thought." said the happy possessor or thisgarden, "that Iknew every nook and corner of it
hy the time the r"hrysanthemum» had faded. Ihadsimply revelled in It-you see. it was the first timeIn all my life f had ever owned a garden. But Iwas mistaken. As T ?wy. one needs to know agarden at least a year before one has done with
surprises."And this is because," she went on. "so many
loving hands have been busy burying hidden treas-ures there long before you came. Of course, Iamspeaking of an old garden, not a new one Just laidout by a gardener and resembling a modern apart-ment house with its spick and spanness! As tosurprises. T wil! show you what T mean.
"One morning last wet-k Iwas walking around.wondering where, when the summer came. w<> couldput a row of tiny thatched bee cottages (you know.Robert and Iare so fond of honey!*, when .sud-denly, right at my feet, what do you suppose T
saw? Snowdrops— fine, double snowdrops! They
had sprung up through an ambu«h of dead leaveswith the suddenness of fairies in a Christ msispantomime.
"Perhaps there is no wile of one's garden that so
caotlvates a woman an this coquetry of surprise.To" think that all these days the snowdrops havebeen working away at ascending («tem and white.white flower with inner petals delicately tippedwith green! Oh. the patience and the punctualityof natural things' And, again, the surprises ofthem!" she concluded, with a smile.
Too Much Time Given to ItinGymnasiums,Say. Dr. Arnold.
Basketball got a Kmart rap from Dr. Arnold Inthe third lecture o? hi» course on "Playing andGaming." at No. 309 East Forty -second-st. on Sat-urday aftemoop. "A gieat deal of injustice Incommitted in our gymnasium wcrk." said hi-, "byour devotion to highly organized game*, whichtake in only a few skilful players, and emphasizecontinually the spirit of competition. Such Kan"I**are showy, and give opportunity to develop a fewhighly specialised players. But Justice to the
| whole class demands more time Riven to games
which all can play. v"A good example of a gymnasium craw i*> found
im basketball. Inmany gymnasiums it Is the onlygame played. No matter whither the children areready for it or not. the only idea is to organize ateam and beat some one.
"There have been any number of schemes among
our pupils at New-Haven to get out of gymnasticsand play only basketball, often when the pupilswere not fit. either mentally or physically, for thegame. It has simply become a fad. There arenow professional teams, of both mm and women,
and the game willhave a run until it reaches thecrisis which has been witnessed in baseball.
COMPETITION FIERCE.
"It Is not only that injustice is done the pupils
who do not get a chance to play in these highly
organized games, but injury is done the playersby the fierce spirit of competition roused. It it»
|dangerous to awaken that desire to excel in chll-
idren. because children have not sense enough toknow when they have gone far enough. ItIs spe-cially dangerous to awaken it In those children
jwho are apt to nervous. high strung chil-dren who are often injured both physically andmentally by such a policy. Iwas guilty of suchtack of wisdom myself in my younger days. Icanremember little boys who excelled with the ap-paratus, and whom Ipushed and pushed, to gratifytheir own ambition and .-nine. Now that they aremen. they do net amount to much.
"There are grown "up people, as well as chil-dren, who have not sense, enough to stop whenthey ought to—who let their ambitions wear themout. There is no need to bring the present dayetrenuousnese of life into the plays of children.The game is not worth the candle.
"Play the frames of low-organization. In wnlcnall can join,and in which the children have simplyhealthy fun, without this nervous strain to benttheir fellows.
"Here is a game, for instance, which brings inthe whole class: Have two sides, each with a rowof club« stood up. Every child has a beanbas:. andthe side that knocks down most clubs with thebeanbags wins. There is a game in which there isno great star carrying off all the* glory—no fierce. personal competition. It is a group competition,everything each wins counting for the glory of hisside. Yet it is a game cultivating sight, aim andmuscular control, and enabling the whole class toplay.
"Games which cultivate the Judgment are thosewhich give a choice of action. The player can doone of two things, or one of more than two things.When you get to baseball there !s an infinite rangeof choice, for no two games of baseball were everjust alike, and no one inning is ever just like an-other. And baseball gamos are lost, not by lackof athletic ability, but by lack of Judgment. Thetrouble is not to catch the ball, but to know whatto do with it after it Is caught. Where to throwthe that's the question. And ifyou will re-flect, you will see that, so far as circumstancespermit us to have any free willat all. our successor failure in life depends upon our choice of ac-tion, often upon our quick choice of action. Sothat we cannot begin to train this Important qual-ity in children too young."
GAME WITH MANY PLATERS.The professor then gave a practical demonstra-
tion of some of the games that demand a largenumber ofplayers.
One of these was "Who's afraid of the blackman?" in which all the players but one stand onone side of the ground, with the one who Is "It"on the other. It" calls "Who's afraid of theblack man?" The crowd replies. "I'm not," andruns for the other side. Whomever "It"catcheshas to join him as a catcher, and this proceeds tillall are caught and transferred to the catcher'sside. This game is extremely simple in organiza-tion, but it involves a great deal of hard runningand dodging, and so is a splendid out-of-door game.Itis a very old game. "Who's afraid of the mackman?" might argue an American origin, but Itisalso called "Fish Swim" and "Kimo." the latterbeing probably a corruption of some ancient wordwhich had a meaning suited to the game.
"Black and White" is an extension of the samegame, though much more complicated. The play-ers take sides, and stand at opposite ends of theground, back to back. One side is the "Blacks"and the other the "Whites." If"It"calls "Black"the "Blacks" turn around and rush for the oppositegoal, the "Whites" catching as many as possibleIn transit. If"It"calls "White" the reverse takesplace, and the game shows how the mental uncer-tainty as to whether "It" will call "Black" or"White" makes reaction slow and the start diffi-cult. This game is excellent to train quick thoughtand self-control.
The love of rope skipping by little girls showsthat the love of activity is inherent in every child.Girls, from their anatomical construction, cannotuse their arms and shoulders for athletic exerciseas boys do. The most natural athletic developmentfor them is through the lower limbs. Boys do notJump the rope, although it is a very athletic andskilful exercise, because there Is no element ofcompetition in It. There must be some Incentiveto "beat" some one in a boys' game, but girls donot demand this element in their games at all.They are more Individual In their games, as boys
are more gregarious. Boys play marbles together;girls play jackstraws alone, although there Is noreason why they could not learn to play marblesif they wanted to.

THE TEIBTTire PATTERN.
To soften the hands notmns Is better thanglycerine diluted with rose water. Rub a little Intothe hacks of the hands-after drying with the towel.
A little >oi.J cream put on with a face ras orHolt ci..th is : good substitute for soap and water.
It keeps the skin smooth and soft, at the sametime cleansing it effectively.
A solution of powdered alum in the proportion
of one teaspoonful to a cup of cold water is ex-cellent for relieving chilblains. Sponge the feetor bind on clotns .lipped in the alum and water,
but do not soak the feet in it.
I'owderrd pumice, moistened and rubbed onsuperfluous hair several times daily, will.Itis said,
remove this distressing affliction from the handsand arms. Th- hair is sure to return, however,
unless permanently destroyed by the electric needle.

hair crow. II darkens the hair temporarily, hut
Is perfectly harmless. The dried sage can be pro-
cured it any ••rujr store. Pour boiling water overa teaspoon fnl of the sage; when cold pour off andrub into the re ots of the hair.
Why the Public Should Be Inter-ested
—What Registration Means.
"The public is at last waking up to the fact."said Miss Mary E. Thornton, secretary of theNorses* Association of the United States, yes-
terday, "that, while the nurses' registration bill
aims primarily to give trained nurses a legal
status, the actual and material benefits will bereaped wholly by the illand convalescent of thepublic at large.
"The defeat of the bill could not in any way
affect us Individuallywho are working for it. Wehave takes our training, and the majority ofthose who are identified with the promotion of the
till are either ex-nurses or too well known to themedical profession to require any additional back-ing. It is only in the interest of the nursing pro-fession as a whole, and the standard of servicethe public has .a right to expect of it, that theArmstrong billnow before the legislature has beenframed
"I say the Armstrong bill, because there is an-other measure, known at Albany as the Nye bill,
which has been introduced, evidently, to supersede
our bilL It is not at all specific in its provisions,merely requiring registration on the nurse's per-
sonal affidavit that she is "all she ought to be'both personally and professionally. Our bill pro-vides for the issuance of certificates by the Boardof Regents to such nurses as have taken at least
a two years* course in a general hospital. - •
"It stand* to reason that the so-called trained'
nurses* who are turned out monthly by small pri-
vate sanatorium?, 'cottage hospitals.* with half m.dozen beds, perhaps, and treating only one phase
of cisease. or even by corporations giving instruc-
tion by lecture only, with a sprinkling of house-work, but no actual hospital experience at ai;.-houlJ not be registered as all around trained"-urpe«. Such a one who has had only tubercu-
losis patients to deal with and that for a termof a few months or.ly. may. if registered, be•ailed upon to take charge of a ease of malignant
typhoid, and the result _s. probably, death. What• Ist. ind~*d. can you expect?
FOR LOVE OF THE UNIFORM.\u25a0•Vow. when the earning of a livelihood is Bet-
•mg- to be an increasingly interesting problem withwomen, the salary and uniform of the trainednurse are becoming increasingly attractive. Yes,
it ... nis scarcely credible, but L know of two in-stances, at least, where young women adopted
the profession onlybecause they found the uniformbecoming. They work»-d for something like $10 orJl2 \u25a0 month ia a. small 'special hospital* wherethey' saw ro surgical work whatever, and at the
•nd of three or four months, one, givingher nameto a nursee* registration bureau, was assigned to
tttp <-hargp of a very Important operation. The re-sult was what any one might have expected.
\u25a0 Ail tb«» prominent physicians, as well as the
Hoard of Regent*, are strongly in favor of our bill.
Dr. Snrariy. you know. addre»s4«ed our annual meet-

THOUSANDS OF LIVES LOST.
What we want is only In line with earlier lawsproviding for the registration of physicians and the
Ueemwre of druggists. It would not prohibit any
one from going out independently as a nurse or aphysician employing any sort of an assistant he
j.lvaiMfi. any more, than the present licensing ofphysicians prevents one's grandmother prescribing
herb tea. But as matters stand now thousands of
lives are lost and the nursing profession constantly
brought Into disgrace through the avarice or care-lesgnesF of untrained, undisciplined pretenders.Why. more is required of plumbers and bricklayers
l-tfore they are allowed to class themselves asskilled workmen than the public now requires of
those to whose care the lives of loved ones are in-
truetf-d."Those supporting the Nye billare presumably the
proprietor* of private establishments who. should
oar billpass, could no longer get raw material to
work for a few dollars a month, by representing
that thereby -trained nurse* qualifications could be*c<juired. In line with the drug adulteration it Istiinplva case of private profit against public health.-nd the hooner the public realizes ju« how deeplyit» concerned the better tt willbe for the public
"When we have secured the legislation we arenow working for we hope to go even further, andinsist upon periodical examinations for all regis-tered nurses, every sev^n or ten years perhaps, toinsure a certain progressive standard such as 1»maintained amonc teachers, for instance, In snort,
our aim is to place our profession wholly abovereasonable criticism and on a level with the best orthe medical fraternity." #«-
Prominent among those working earnestly forthe success of the measure now before the legis-lature are Miss. L. L. Dock, of the Nurses' Settle-mem; Miss Anna C.Maxwell, superintendent of thePresbyterian Hospital: Miss 8. F. Palmer Editprof"The American Journal of Nursing": Mio* Good-rich, superintendent of nurse* in the i«ew-ior-cHospital: Mia* Allerton. superintendent of theHomeopathic Hospital, of Rochester, and numer-ous others well known in the profession, represent-ingall phases of the medical field.

she made the aforesaid discovery, she bad been^re-ioicing In the fact that she was the solitary repre-sentative of the English nation for miles aroundAnd now here was a newcomer who was eminentlyBritish, from the crown of his head to the sole of
his foot. Truly, it was very provoking. And notonly had he come to Cortina-that was bad enough
in Itself-but he had actually found her open air
studio by the torrent, and ensconsed himself thereas if he intended to remain. No wonder an indig-nant flash shone in her gray eyes as she stoodlooking disdainfully at hi3broad back. .
A fine Irish terrier lay beside him. and Ada hadher fox terrier Scamp with her. and it was not
many seconds before the dogs had scented eachother The Irish terrier sat up briskly and pointed
his ears, while Scamp bristled his neck and lookedeven more indignant than his mistress, preparingat once to dispense with all" formality and turn thestrangers out with the least possible delay.
"Down Scamp, down:" she exclaimed peremp-torily,and the Englishman looked around.For one moment they eye.l eacn other— he coolly
and with a little curiosity, she with the same slight
touch of disdain. Then she threw down her golfcape and took her usual seat, withher writing- padon her knee, and the stranger returned to his book.
At a signal from tneir respective owners, the twodogs lay still. They took care, however, that it
should be in a position in which each could see theslightest movement on the part of the other, wnicn

Yet neither offered to move. «__•««.The reader considered, as first comer he had the
prior right: the writer, with a woman s delightful
disregard of pros and cons, practically consideredthe whole torrent her own property.
At last the does precipitated the nrst climax at aIsingle dash. A rabbit, little dreaming what Issue, was at stake, suddenly hopped out of the brush-
wood and peeped around. Instantly both animalsmade a frantic dash-the rabbit vanished and thedogs met. Before either owner could move they
were at each other's throats. ..."Scamp. Scamp, come here, sir1 shouted Ada.-i-ome off Rex"1 shouted the Ftrancer.

The students of Vassar College have already
raised $4,000 of the $30,000 required for a novel en-terprise they are about to set afloat In connectionwith the college. This is nothing more nor lessthan a clubhouse for the maids employed In thecollege. They intend to make the club self-sup-porting, and in Its main features Itis to be like any
other working girls' club. Classes which already
have been started among the maids by the studentswill be continued: instruction in whatever subjectsthe club desires will be given, and if necessary
outside teaching will be engaged. Classrooms onthe second floor and a parlor, reading room andkitchen on the first are included in the plans.
The seen.- of a brave woman's work not a hun-
dred years ago Is being levelled to the ground, but
the transformation she effected in the condition of
thousands of her sex held in captivity will liveforever in the memory of the English speaking
race. InIH4 the prison of Newgate was first vis-ited by Mrs. Elizabeth Fry. Up to that time the
state of the female prisoners was dreadful. Idle,
abandoned, riotous and drunken, they were herdedtogether indiscriminately, the only distinction be-ing between the tried and the untried. The change
effected by Mrs. Fry and her helpers was rapid
and remarkable. The most degraded of the women
showed the effect of the teachings; the worst be-came orderly, quiet and Industrious, and all grewcleaner and neater. Many learned to read, andothers sat knitting with the kindly visitors. Twoof the committee visited them daily and helpedindividual prisoners. Their handiwork, such asknitting, spinning and patchwork, was sold forthem and they were encouraged to put by theproceeds against their coming out again. Schoolswere started, both for the women and the children.Of one hundred thousand manufactured articlesof work, not one was stolen. Many of the womenkept under supervision by the committee pre-served good characters as servants or in theirhomes after leaving Newgate, and those who re-ceived small loans on their discharge to help themstart again repaid by weekly instalments withsurpassing regularity A few days aw the saleby auction of the principal fittings and other relicsof Newgate Prison took place. The degree of in-terest felt by the people of London in the prison
of the Newgate, which for a thousand years hailbeen a place of captivity, may be gathered fromthe fact that for three days prior to the sale tne
nubile trod the dark, forbidding corridors andFteep stairways of the ancient prison in a con-tinuous stream- To this time the door of the olddebtors' prison has been known as Mrs. Fry sdoor and it was bought by a prominent Londoneras a relic of the days when the woman philan-thropist transformed a filthy den of corruption
into a clean, whitewashed room.
"Before these days of delightfully written andwidely distributed descriptions cf passing events,
conversation was regarded as an artistic accom-plishment, and valued a great deal more highly
than it Is at present." said a matron. "We hearso many curious facts, wo see so much more of
the world than our coach-travelling ancestor?, that
the spirit of astonishment Is less easily conjured
than of old. when the sciences had destroy ed fewer
of our illusions and mankind was less analytical.<*rispness. conciseness anJ humor are the indis-pensable ingredients of tne dish offered to thejaded mental appetites of the old and young ofto-day. Tysons in the art of conversation shouldbe considered quite as necessary '-» a girl whosemind is expanding in the notnous*' of her littleschool world as' notion in the sciences op
modem languages. The chlel difficulty, apartfrom the girl herself, would be to find a teachercompetent to make the study both profitable andinteresting. But the cause is well worth a strug-gle, and the only thin« is steady, serious, daily
cultivation. Some people are bor 1 with a turn
for conversation: It comes by nature to them to
make the apt repartee, the sympathetic phrase,when occasion calls for it; others have the airymanner, the speaking glance from liquideyes, thereserve thawing, contagious laugh. These aregifts of the favored few: but we are all endowedwith the faculty of intelligible speech, and it be-hooves us to regard the making the utmost of it
—not as a mere frivolity,but as a duty toour socialneighbors."
"Vagabondage is a state which a prominentbishop recently took occasion to recommend as asalutary corrective to the -.leadening influence of
th*> routine life people are more or less likely to
fall into." said a man yesterday. "This counselhas not the episcopal ring one would expect from
stoch a source, but. happily. tHe public mind hasbroadened, and what would once have shocked and
scandalized does so no longer, for it has beenfound that the best and wisest ecclesiastics arethose who b!d people steer clear of grooves, ifwe do not. the rush and tear and pressure of lifein our great cities become unbearable. To mostof those who bear the stress of high pressure lifethere come times when we long to break loosefrom the shackles of routine, it is this tendencytoward the spirit of vagabondage that has madethe Anglo-Saxon race the greatest colonists inthe world and the most indefatigable of tourist*.Our fads—the devotion to ping pong, the passion
for bridge, the recent craze for cycling, not tomention the present outbreak of automobilism— allproceeded from this root, the desire to break away
from the sameness and the monotony of life. Itis this same quickening bnpal»c within us thatmakes us give welcome to so many strangers whocome within our gates, that gives us our love ofIndependence and a desire to be up and doing,hewing out new paths in all directions of life.
COLORADO TRAVELLING LIBRARIES.
The TravellingLibrary Committee of the ColoradoState Federation has Just published Its third annualreport, a neat Mttle lavender and white pamphlet.
Mrs. A. M. Wells, the chairman, reports thirty
boxes collected during the last year, making overeighty In all. The City Council continued its ap-propriation, made the year before at the request ofthe clubwomen, for the support of two districtlibraries in Denver. The committee bought a flueencyclopaedia tor one of these libraries, and to
various other email libraries presented fifty boons.The boxen now contain four thousand volume*,
mainly fiction and Juvenile*, with a Judicious inter-mixture of history, travel, biography and sociology.
A feature of th* list year has been the co-operationof a coal company, which has used a large numberof the boxes in the reading room, and schools ofIt-various coal camps Many of the Cotorato clubs,which hud previously given boxes named after theclub, have thi* year given other*, named after \u25a0
