cry part of the house. The women, from
the mistress down, labor as they never
worked before, and what with the discom-
fort, the smell of suds and the dampness,
and not unfrequently sickness, the product
of colds and Overwork, matters are generally
disagreeable. The simple use Of Sapolio in
stead of soap does away with all this discom-
fort. 1t hghtens the labor hundred per
cent, because it removes dirt, grease, stains
and spots, with hardly any labor, with but
little water, and in one tenth the usual time.

A MOTHERS LOVE.

LamarEine give this illustration :
"In some spring freshet, river wide
ly washed the shores and rent away
1ohgh whereon bird had built a
cottage for her summer home. Down
the white and whirling stream drift
ed the green branch, with it's wicker
cup of unfedged song, and fiuttering
beside it went the mother bird. I'm.
needing the roaring river, on she
went, her cries of agony and fear
piercing the pauses in the storm,
How like the love of an old-fashioned
mother, who followed the child she
had plucked from her heart, all over
the world. Swept away by passion
that child might be, it mattered not
though he was bearing away with
him the Fragrance Of the shattered
root-tree, yet that mother was with
him, Ruth through all his life, and a
Rachel at his death.

INSENSTBILITY TO THE BEAU.
TY OF NATURE.

What a blessing would it be to us,
one and all, could we but really wake
up to the glory of this creation, in
which we live! Most men are act
ually asleep for their lifetime in this
vast and magnificent world. Mighty
changes are going on around them,
fitted to entrance their souls in won
der and thankfulness, and yet they
are moved no more than if they were
shut up in a mill, seeing only the
perpetual revolution of spindles, and
hearing only the monotonous hum
and clatter of machinery, had the
Creator SO pleased. And mems in
senslbllity often deserves no better
no better lot. But, instead of being
pent within narrow walls, we live
amidst this immeasurable universe.
Instead of few pale lamps giving
only necessary rays, oceans Of light
daily overflow this planet whereon we
dwell with inhaustible splendor and
beauty. And the fire that sustains
the life of earth's creatures is forever
freshly klndled millions of miles away.

ANCIENT SPORTS.
BY ARTHUR L. GowDY.

La the olden times the sports were
very different from those of the pres
ent time The principal pastime OF
the rich and noble families in the
Middle Ages was hunting. The peo-
Ipie then hunted with falcons and
hounds. The way they hunted was
this-the hunters rode on horses and
carried their trained falcons in their
hands, while their hounds followed
them. They used the hounds to scare
up the birds, (for they generally hunt
ed birds) and the falcons to catch
them. When the hounds had started
the game the hunters let loose their
falcons upon it. Then the birds tried
to escape by flight, but were soon
oVertsken. Ii the birds were herons
a night ensued which generally ter
minated IN the death of the herons,
though sometimes they escaped.
In later times when the countries of
Europe were involved in war, the
sports assumed a more wsrlike char
acter. One game in which a good
many peaple delighted was quintain.
One qulntain was a figure of man
made Of wood, which generally rep
resented Turk or Saracen who had
in one hand club and in the other a
shield. This figure was hung on a
pivot so that when hit anywhere but
between the eyes, it would turn sud-
denly around and deal the striker a
sharp blow on the back with the club.
At this the player would strike with
spear and if the figure was not hit
between the eyes the player would
get a sound thwack with the club in
return.
But the quintain the English people
most loved was an upright beam with
a cross beam on top, hung on a pivot.
This crossbeam had heavy bag of
sand on one end, the other end being
pretty wide. At this the player
would ride and strike with a spear 4;
they usually strike at the large end OF
the crosSbeam. If he missed the
beam he was well laughed at. IF he
hit it unless he rode very fast, the
bag of sand when 1T turned around
would hit him in the back and send
him over the horses head, which in
those rough times was considered
good fun.
