ideal of a healthy mind in a healthy body is well worth living up to.

At the same time we have to re- cognise the existence of some pos- sibly exceptional men who contrived to live to a good old age, and in the meantime do an enormous amount of faking any trying work, without exercise at all. Moreover, some of them seemed to be proud of it.

the late Joseph Such a one was

strenuous Chamberlain, who led a life as a fighting politician, during which he never spared himself, and managed to attain the age of 78. Ils beast was that the only exercise he ever took in all his days was that involved in walking upstairs to bed. Iis son, the present Prime Minister, is a contrast to "Joe" for he takes long walks, fishes, and shoots.

fionar Law played a good deal of golf and tennis, so did Lord Balfour: but Mr. Asquith, afterwards Lord Oxford, was another statesman who did not believe in exerciso at least, he was never known to take any. Solo and Polo

could no and was other could find no answer, and was plays polo, and I am a good Pole who plays solo." The great planist, at 78, is still alive and vigorous.

Study and the senate completely ousted the playing-fleld from the affections of such scholar-statesmen as Lord Milner and Lord Haldane, who, in spite of Inck of exercise, lived to be 71 and 70 respectively, Both these notable men led very full and busy lives, and both left their mark upon the epoch. Brain Work

There must be something al- together exceptional in the physical make-up of such individuals; for we all know that crdinary business and professional men, leading occupled lives, say that they are obliged to take a certain amount of outdoor

exercise, or they might, and probably would, "crock up."

On the other hand, doctors tell us that men doing a great amount of brain work, involving a tremendous strain on nervous system, do well to restrict their muscular exertions.

"It is," said a Harley Street physician to me one day, "like a If you deplete cask with two tops. pianist-

the cask through the tap of mental exertion, and

the same lime through the tap of physical exertion, the stock of nervous energy will soon come to an end."

Now consider another ex-Premier ---M. Paderewski, noted pollietan of Poland. He is just an frank about his indifference to exer- else as was Joseph Chamberlain. He was wont to declare that he took all the exercise he needed in walking round a billiards table.

M. Paderewsk sometimes stayed at great country houses in Great Britain; but he never joined in any of the outdoor sports which were natural To the surroundings. "What," he once asked a fellow" guest in the country, is the differ- ence between you and mez" The

Literary celebrities are seldom noted for a love of exercise. Yet they work hard and attain good old age-like Thomas Hardy. The author of "Tess" and other world- famous

tions are "anything except sport." He is 81.

The Personal Factor

A noted octogenarian who despised exercise was the late Sir John Je Sage. He passed his time between! his home in Clement's Inn and his office in Fleet Street, though he would sometimes find his way as far as Lord's cricket ground-to look on. He lived to past 80, and worked up to the time of his death.

Yet not all men of the pen have despised violent exercise. Charles Darwin had a passion for fox-hunt- ing: so had Anthony Trollope. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle played cricket, and rode, and was a fair

air amateur boxer Dickens was walker-though he

he seldom took part in any set

games-while his con- temporary, Thackeray confined him- self to a gentle stroll along "the sweet shady side of Pall Mall."

Charles Reade was an oarsmen of some prowess, at any rate in his Oxford days.

of painters. Sir William Orpen took no exercise at all; but Mr. A. J. Munnings not only paints horses, Lord Leighton des- but rides them.

"My family history is going to be kept in pictures. I plan to take at least one roll of pictures a week- miany

whenever passille. more Whenever we do anything-move to n now house-ge on a week-end trip -plant fowers-celebrato a birth day or na analverary-add a new mombar-whatever it is, the story will bo told in picturos."

His pinna go further than that, too. Ille pleturo record in to be kept in handy, useful form, "Thoro will ho a now picture book for every year," he told me, "I plan to havo the best ahots enlarged, and mount the others contact size. Everything goon into the book, where we'll al ways be able to Bnd it and recall→→ from our own snapshots-what wo did in past days."

Thors, now, in an idea for all of us. In orery family, things happen each day that wo would like to re- member. We buy now furniture, plant gardena, balld a trellis for rosea, put new screens on the back porch, take vacation trips. Children are born, grow up, change year by year. Wo change, too. And a trus day-by-day plcture-history of all our everyday activities, as well as activities not-so-everyday, would greatly enrich our memories in later
