Rope Jumping.

AS COOLER weather approaches the
jumping-rope will be more and more in
the hands of girls. Properly used it is
not an Objectionable plaything. But
children can not be too frequently eau
toned against jumping against time or
competing to see who can jump the
greatest number of times without stop
ping. In an essay on popular customs
on public health in the recently pub
lished annual report of the Department
of Statistics of Indiana, DIR. j. w. Her.
vey, of Indianapolis, lays great stress
on the danger OF this practice. None,
he says, is more injurious: and in illus
tration of its evil effects he mentions
case of real occurrence in that city.
The patient, girl of twelve years, was
dead when he reached the house. He
says: "On inquiry 1 learned that she
had jumped the rope at school, a few
days before, five hundred times. Think
of five hundred rushes of blood upon
the little heart in quick succession! No
wonder l had to make the certificate OF
death, 'EmboG, or clot in the heart,
caused by overhead and jumping straight
up five hundred times''' Not only does
this practice throw a great and some
times killing strain upon the heart, but
it often causes serious injury to tho
joints of the knees and hips and to the
spine. The muscular and nervous ex-
haustion, due to long continued jumping,
must also be injurious.-Scaentifc AneT-

emperor demanded that the republic
should give him up; but tho request
was refused. 1921
Barbarossa then sent feet of seven
ty-five galleys, under the command Of
his son, Ohio, with orders to destroy
all that came in their way. The Doge
had only forty galleys; but he was an
expert seamen, and drove the Emper-
or's feet off the coast and took Ohio
prisoner. After this battle, peace was
made, and Frederick consented to come
to Venice to be reconciled with the
Pope.
10 reward the Venetians for their
services, the Pope bestowed on them
the sovereignty of the Adriatic Sea, and
presented the Doge with ring, saying,
"Receive this as symbol of your
sovereignty, and celebrate your espous-
ais with the sea every year,
This fete on Ascension Day was uni
versal holiday. The poor and the rich
put on their gayest dresses and went to
witness the marriage of the Doge with
the sea. The bells of the city rang
from daybreak their most joyful chimes,
the canals were thronged with gondolas
ornamented with banners. In one of
the largest harb0rs, called La Piazzetta,
was anchored large vessel, called the
"Bucentaur," which belonged to the
Doge. The crew were chosen from
among the strongest and handsomest of
the Venetian seamen. The Prov of the
ship was gilded and ornamented with
figures, and in the center was GRIM
son-velvet tent embroidered with gold,
above which foated the flag of San
Marco. When the hour of noon sound
ed. the door of the church was thrown
open and = grand procession moved
forth. First came eight standard
bearers with tho flags Of the Republic
in red, blue, white and violet, and six
men with silver trumpets; then came
the officers in the service Of the Doge,
dressed in their State robes. Next fol-
lowed the musicians, and a deacon
carrying large wax taper sent by the
Pope, and men bearing the throne
and cushions of the Doge. The
City Magistrates made part of
the procession, and, lastly, the
Doge himself. in his ducal robes, his
mantle of ermine fastened with gold
buttons, his robes of blue and cloth of
gold; his head covered with the ducal
cap of Venice, over which was crown
of gold sparkling with precious stones.
The procession advanced slowly up the
quay and embarked on the "Bucen-
taur," with the Admiral of the Vene-
tian fleet at the helm. As they drew
pup the anchors, all the bells in the city
poured forth their most joyful sounds.
The large vessel went slowly on, sur
rounded by numerous smaller barges
and gondolas, all filled with people gay
ly dressed. After the fleet had ad-
vanced some distance into the Adriatic,
the Doge rose from his throne, walked
to the PROV of the vessel on raised
gallery, and throw into the blue waves
a gold ring, saying, 1--WE espouse thee,
0 Sea, in sign of real and perpetual
sovereignty" Then the Doge and his
suite attended service in the church at
San Nicolas on another island, called
Lido, and the feet returned to Venice,
where the grand personages attended a
sumptuous repast at the ducal palace.

The Bees In Trouble.

The "little busy bee'' is in trouble
in Paris. A complaint lodged against
these proverbial patterns Of industry
brought the fact to light that some
skillful Spectator had established,
somewhere in the outskirts of the gay
capital, no fewer than a thousand bee
hives, with busy community of about
forty million of subjects, who rob and
torment their neighbors to an alarming
degree. These winged brigands, as It
seems, sally forth upon the sugar-boil-
ing works with which the neighborhood
is studded and which prove to be a
most profitable substitute for honey
giving flowers. The owner of one of
these sugar factories, who stands first
in the list of complainers, calculates
that bees steal from him at the least
twenty-five thousand francs worth of
sugar year. The workmen look with
even more unfriendly eyes on the winged
freebooters, as they suffer for their
greediness. When the workmen leaves
the factory he is often covered with a
sticky layer of sugar and the watchful
bees Immediately pounce upon him and
turn him into field or pasture. In
short, so many misdeeds are charged
upon these busy insects that it is not
improbable the head Of the police will
issue an order for their banis hment
from Partisan soil.

EVERMORE.

THEY whom We loved ana lost 80 long ago
Dwell in those cities, far from mortal woe,
Haunt those fresh woodlands, whence sweet
carollings soar.
Eternal peace have they;
God wipes their tears away,
They drink that river Of life which flows for
Evernore.
Thither we hasten through these regions dim
But 10! the wide winds Of the Seraphim
Shine in the sunset! On that joyous shore
Our lightened hearts shall know
The life Of long ago;
Tho sorrow-burdened past shall fade fo1
EVermOre.

was severed. Painfully raising himself
until he found his handkerchief, he tied

stop the flow, and, in order to secure
additional tightening, ran his sword

all his power twisted it around and held

proudly tell Charles V. that he had
given him more provinces than his father
had left him cities. Ignatius Loyola

Gibbon determined to write his famous
work after listening to the monks sing
ing vespers in the temple of Jupiter, at
Rome; and La Fontaine was stimulated
to cultivate literature after hearing some
verses of Malherbe.

clocks in order to beguile the weary
hours which he had to pass while at

The Sympathetic Shepherd and the Wolf.

Once upon time Wolf observed =
Lamb feeding out of sight of the shep-
herd in charge and it determined to
ing along towards its victim the Wolf
fell over a cliff and was badly injured.
The Shepherd heard its yells Of pain and
came running up to dispatch the animal
with club. ..-.-s.....
Hold on! Hold on! want to ar
que this case!' cried the Wolf.
But you are philosopher and am
only Shepherd, - was the reply.
1t was your Lamb who pushed me
over this cliff" said the brazen Wolf as
he sat up; and by the use of big words,
wise looks and arguments based on
"ifs," he convinced the Shepherd that
it was his duty to take him home and
heal his injuries.
When the Wolf was able to walk he
demanded lamb as compensation for
his bodily suffering and loss of time.
The Shepherd demurred, but the Wolf
quoted an old law by which any person
harboring a wolf should be fined and
imprisoned, and he declared he would
90 before the nearest official and make
complaint. This brought the Shepherd
to time and the Wolf had lamb for din
ner. To get rid of him the Peasant re-
duced his fare to black bread and water
but the Wolf ate what was given him
and explained:
shall not gain strength and be able
to leave you until I have better food
The Peasant then changed his fare to
the best, and the Wolf ate his full and
observed:
As long as you can afford such fare
you cannot grumble at my staying"
In few days he demanded full
grown sheep to soften the pangs of
parting, and when the Shepherd COM
planned the Wolf cried out:
Why, 1 am working for your inter-
est, not mine. The less sheep you have
to mind the less care you will have"
This sophistrY silenced the Shepherd
and the sheep was killed. While eat
ing it the Wolf got bone in his throat
and called out for help, adding:
s. 1t will be much easier for you to
remove this bone than to dig a hole to
bury me-
81 By falsehood you gained my SYM
pathy," replied the Peasant" by phi

you ate a lamb; by subtlety you beat
me out of sheep; by Providence you
