Now he does daily physical exercises, and twice a week has lessons lasting from half an hour to 45 minutes. These include exercises to keep the missies supple, medicine ball, a bout of boxing, and massage. The lesions are given in M. Blum’s office. Chairs and tables are cleared to the 3ide of the room. M. Blum, it appears, has had the lessons for 15 years, and proposes to go on. with them as Premier.
