The arrival of the first boats recalls .
more than any other event, perhaps,
the fact that we are really « part of
that great busy world We call the
"outside.” During the long period of
isolation when our shores are sur
rounded by the winters' ice does we
somehow seem to become separated
from the world at large despite the
mails and telegraphic lines and the
events however monumental occurlng
beyond the confines of our frozen sea
assume a far away aspect, a seeming
unreality, as if one were planted on
some far off sphere gazing down upon
a world whose joy and woe, peace or
strife could never touch upon one’s
own existence. Cut off front active
contact with the great bulk of hu
manity many of us lapse into a state
of mind where all save the greater
events occurlng on the outside cease
to have more than a negligible at
traction and we pursue the course of
life occupied with little more than our
everyday surroundings. But the ar
rival of the first boats with their cargo
of human freight beating fresh from
that great beyond new thoughts, new
opinions, new manners, brings us once
again in touch with the mighty heart
beat of humanity and brings also the
realization that we belong after all to
that boundless mass of existence com
posing the busy outside world. The
fresh vitality, the new enthusiasm
brought into our little community by
the new arrivals, nearly all of whom
carry about them an indefinable some
thing of that wide awake spirit, born
of the struggle of the toiling, scheming
masses o fthe busy outside, revives
and draw's us front our winter lethargy
instills new ideas, new desires, new
enthusiasms: in a senoe creates a new
mental environment.
FRENCH PHYSIQUE
One of the surprising things de
veloped in the war thus far is the ex
cellent physical condition of the French
soldiers, the men called to the colors
after some years of civil life. So far
from being the decadent nation, phy
sically. which has been assumed, the
French of today are showing a better
physique and higher qualities of
strength and endurance than they ever
did before.
The fine condition of the French
troops is not the product of the few
weeks or months of training which
they have received as soldiers. It
I
-------
J comes from the great interest in phy
sical welfare which has been pervading
j the entire nation for some years past
and which had Its demonstration dur
ing the past few years in the great at
tention given in Paris, for one ex
ample, to “le sport" in all of its
branches.
Gymnastic colleges and societies
have multiplied during the past fifteen
years. The Club Athlettque de la So
ciet e Genera le. established ten years
ago. gained in the decade fully 7.000
members The craze for boxing which
sprung up in Paris some years ago.
' which has resulted In bringing out
sonic French hoxers who could hold
their own with men of any race in the
world in the traditional Anglo-Saxon
game, was not confined, as it is in this
i . untry largely, merely to the patron
izing of exhibitions given by profoa
eional exponents of the "art.” The
young men of Paris have been taking
to boxing on their own account and
for purposes of physical development.
The certainty of war soon or late
may have had something to do with
the growth of sentiment In favor of
physical training in France. Tie that
as it may, the results are now seen In
a high standard of physical efficiency
among the French soldiers, noticed in
comments not only by ordinary oli- .
servers hut by the phvslcians and
ti-lined nurses called upon to minister

I WHY NORMAL BUSINESS IS SO
POOR,
The war had not begun before the
markets of this eounfn were flooded
with the products of German and
English and French mills and fac
tories great quantities of which were

tlie tariff schedule was completed.
These goods have been accumulating
dust on tlie shelves of retail houses
and in the lofts of warehouses ever
since the war started, for no other
reason than that they could not he sold

earners alike are aware of the im

in factories before the war while the
markets of the country were being
flooded with Europenn imports. They
know why normal business is, with
few exceptions, so poor.—American
