The reports of the three committees will likewise have an exceptional interest. One of those is on anthropometry.and vital statistics, another deals with the bibliography of physical education, and the third deals with all matters relating to the practical side of physical education, the extension of the work, new views of physical training-, new apparatus, building 1 appliances and the like.

An important feature of the exercises will be presented on the day following the opening of the meeting 1 This will comprise an exhibition of gymnastic work by the schools and societies in am about New Yorlc.

'At any rate, the educators in attendance at these coming sessions will bo in reputation as well as in nutu- than have ever yet, been chosen to a of the kind. After this too, it is not likely that such another ill convene for three or move years to come. It is proposed to make changes in the relationship of rthe association to the institutions of learning scattered over the 'land. Th is is now very close. The of the organization is Dr.

He has long watchec the growth of the association's influ ence with sympathetic attention, anc is particularly partial to the idea 01 sections in all parts of the country. The late Dr. McCosh, of Princeton, was always an advocate of plans along the line of those which the association is trying to carry out. The west, too, has responded with alacrity to the overtures of this organization.

Such well-known educators as President M. E. Gates, of Amherst; President Egbert B. Smyth, of Andover theological seminary; President Robert Fulton, of the University of Mississippi; Prof. Richard T.

lily, of the University of Wisconsin; President L. ,1. lJurrill, of the University of Illinois; President William F. McDowell, of the University of Denver, and others of equal eminence, have been encouraging the association's membership to continue the work. When the contemplated sections are established, and that will be in tho course of comparatively few months, there will not be an institution of learning in the land without its adequate provision in the way of athletics.

The equalization of facilities for physical training thus attained will greatly aid iu placing all the colleges and universities on a common plane in the athletic field. Heretofore some have felt the ill-effects of discrimination. Just as Yale and Harvard, the great universities, have been avoided West Chester Stato school, by-pai-cncu anxious to have their son. while Secretary Edwin Lyon is from rtho Anderson Normal school of gym nasties. Tb(s council of the association will bo -present, likewise.

This counci includes Dr. Edward Hitchcock, of Atn Dr. D. A. Sargent, of Harvard Dr.

K. M. Ilnrtwell, of tho Boston pub schools; Dr. II. E.

Each section is to have headquarters in some citv, whero its state meetings are to bo held, Boston, New York, Ciu- -cinnnti, Chicago. St. Louis, New Orleans and San Francisco are proposed 4W centers of various sections. The speakers at the conference will men prominent in tho cause of phy- education, not merely as instructors, but as friends of the cause.

First, and probably notable among nil, is "Prof. J. W. Senvcrs, who for years has been unremitting in his efforts to put scientific physical training- in American of learning on a footing commensurate with its importance. Tho doctor's success in this is the more gratifying, as for a long time the prejudice against tho work widespread and deep-rooted.

Lat-, 'terly, moreover, workers in the cause of scientific physical training have had to contend with misunderstandings from excess in mere college sports and -athletics. These pastimes uave been confounded with the truin- Ang which the association socles to maic- tain, greatly to tho embarrassment of cause. One of the subjects to bo considered will have reference to this matter of college sports. No doubt is of the establishment ultimately -a modus vivendi between these branches of undergraduate athletic activity.

Very soon these inequalities will vanish. Here will be one of tho most important of the association's tasks. The papers read by the delegates will be germane to tho scope of all these objects. President Hervey, oJ the Teachers' college; Superintendent Seaver, of the Boston public schools; Prof. Fitz, of Harvard university; Prof.

Boice, of tho Normal school, at Trenton, N. are but several of many noted educators who will handle subjects before the conference The general trend of thought at the meeting will be toward school gymnastics and the relation between physical and mental training. The meetings themselves will bo held mornings and afternoons and evenings, Dr. J. W.

Sea 'er presiding; but on Saturday there will bo only a morning session, lasting until 1 o'clock. One of the projects to be mooted before these noted educators is the establishment of a library in one of the educational centers, in which shall be collected an adequate bibliography on the subject of physical education. Connected with this library is to be an establishment of tho systematic collection of statistics bearing upon the effects of physical education in different parts of tho country. It is beginning to be understood by experts in physical training that a curriculum in that department adapted to a university in a northern latitude like that of Michigan might be very prejudicial to the students in an institution as far south as Texas. The matter will be dealt with jn papers by several experts.

Such a gathering of men prominent in thU branch of training is not likely to occur again in this country for several years. How He Stepped PoaeJUng. A Scotch gentleman, plagued by poachers, procured a cork leg dressed in stocking and shoe, and sent it through tho neighboring village by the town crier, who proclaimed that it had been found in a man on the previous night in Mr. grounds, who desired to return it to the owner. There was no more after that.

Washington It is related of Thad Stevens that on one occasion when he was exasperated by o.ruling of the chair, and turned his back upon the presiding officer, as he slowly walked down the main aisle of, the house of representatives, the speaker became very angry and shouted: "Does the gentleman mean to show his contempt for the chair?" "No," responded Stevens, "I am trying to conceal it." Rend Ke nned to Expound. On one occasion when Speaker Crisp hammering the desk and compelling ex-Speaker Reed to take his seat, the big man from Maine said: "I hear sank into silence. It, was qucnchc and humiliated, bleak, bare and barn; as a desert. The preceding winter had been severe one, and the ice which ha formed in Lake Erie was of phenomen al thiclcness. There came on M'arcf 27 a sudden exceedingly warm spell weather which melted the snows, an then a warm rain poured down in torrents during the entire day of tbj 2Sth of March.

The ice was loosenec and a strong east wind drove it far ou in the lake during the night. But a sunrise on the 29th the wind came from the west, and, as the sailors say, it was "blowing great guns." This gale drove the immense mass of ice into the mouth of Niagara river, where It was gorged and piled up from shore to shore, hermetically sealing the river and damming the waters back into the lake. Thus it happened that Niagara ran dry, its falls became bleak, barren rocks, acd its mighty thunders were put to sleep. Within four or five hours tiny streams of water began to trickle through tfce gorge. Tho tremendous power back of those streams accelerated their flowing; and in a short time the iee dam gave way and there never was such a wild, roaring, mad flood in Niagara before or since.

And thus the cataract became itself again. This story suggests to me the thought that the same power which thus throttled the mighty Niagara may as readily huve divided the Red sea and tho Jordan; and unbelievers may no longer have reason to doubt those miracles.

Then it suddenly dawned upon the minds of many that Speaker Crisp had been seemingly uncharitable in his manner toward his distinguished predecessor, and that St. Paul had written that whoso had not charity became as 'a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal." A for tho Cattle Doctor. Mr. Johnson, of Indiana, on one occasion in the heat of debate called a Illinois congressman an ass; and thereby created a great sensation. The following colloquy occurred: Tho Speaker (to the gentleman from the gentlemen from Indiana withdraw the epithet? The Gentleman from withdraw the language, Mr.

Speaker, but maintain that the gentleman from Illinois is not in order. The Gentleman from am I out of order? The Gentleman from veterinary surgeon could tell you. Senator Swnilers' Oncer Quotation. Speaking of Scriptural quotations reminds me of the unique use of a text by Senator Sanders, of Montana, during the contest reelection before the legislature in Helena during the winter of 1S03-3. 1 telegraphed him that if he could not be reelected that he should by all means prevent the election of a certain other seeker of the position.

The answer came back over the wire: "Head fourteenth chapter of John; first verse. W. F. Sanders." Turning to tho Bible I read: "Let not your heart be troubled. Ye believe in God; believe also in Me." The senator did not mean to be sacrilegious, but to convey his answer inamanner which would be intelligent to me, and not to others.

of Prom-racy Want. Nothing could be more startling to a business man or a literary worker than to have the ghost of a former friend walk into his office, take a chair, and begin a conversation as though many years of time had not elapsed nor the natural event of death had intervened since their last meeting. You can faintly imagine how surprised and shocked I was this morning when the ghost of a friend of years ago walked into my office, took a chair, rested a little hand satchel on the floor and commenced to talk about a practical business affair. As soon as I realized that it was a friendly spirit on a friendly visit and understood that my assistance was desired.and sought, the feeling of astonishment and amazement passed away and I became interested in the subject of the conversation which was broached by the visible. When I saw him last twelve j-cars ago he was strong, robust, active and popular.

He was eminent, in odd fellowship, free masonry and the pythian fraternity. To-day when he entered my office, pale, thin, with straggling gray locks, and venerable beard, with pallid countenancfe, sunken cheeks, but large glistening eyes, I recognized my former friend with difficulty and only realized after some moments of conversation that he is still in the flesh LIKE A YOUNG WOMAN.

Bring fc One of Voftt'i Plemint Senator Vest is the ablest ready debater on tho democratic side of tho and he was the only member of his party in that body with whom ihe brilliant Ingalls of Kansas never sought a forensic wrangle. Senator Vest is a very apt story-teller, and sometimes makes some of the most telling points in his speeches by anecdotal illustrations. One of his most telling applications of an incident was delivered when he ridiculed Senator Hill, who is known to be Cleveland's worst enemy, but who had delivered a long speech in the senate, ostensibly in defense of Cleveland for his course in tariff legislation.

Senator Vest said: "I once made a speech iu defense of a noted criminal, but in order to save him it became necessary for me to picture to the jury as a man of such low order of moral sensibilities that ho was ignorant of the extent of his legal responsibility and therefore could not commit crime. Well, I saved him; but he afterwards came to me and said that he would rather go the penitentiary for life than hear that speech again. And I presume that the president felt something the same way when he read the speech in his behalf which was delivered by the senator from New York." CeMed to Romr. Congressman Dan Lockwood, of Buff that within his recollection great waterfall at Niagara was suspended, and that many people passed over its dangerous rocky places dry shod; He says that this miracle was wrought in 1S4S, during the month of March.

HE HAD LOST HIS POLITICAL GRIP. and was not a visitor from the mysterious universe beyond the river of time. "I am old, feeble and very poor," ho said. "I have no home of my own," but am paying rent as I have done all my life. I have lost my political grip, have lost my office, and the friends who were once strong and powerful have died and left roe here alone.

I am now sixty- five years of age and am selling a little patent invention for holding open doors in offices or houses. I would like to show it to you and demonstrate the method of its operation. You need not look surprised, for I am an honest man and have been all ay life; and this is an honest way of making a living. I am too feeble to do manual labor, but I am able to walk around and show this' patent device and urge people to take it, and thus I manage to make enough to keep body and soul together during the few remaining days of the years of my life, which Is fast drawing to a close." The old man had spent his life in government employment, with good pay all the time, and yet, like so many thousands of others, he had saved nothing for his latter years. The average government clerk is thriftless.

They are nearly all careless of the future. And many of them, when adversity comes, as it had come to my aged friend, must go "over the hills to the poorhouse," or else depend largely upon the charity of the friends of better days. SMITH D.
