Gr@cO.ROman Wrestling.

Next to England and America,
France takes rank as a nation of
wrestlers, and it has also a distinctive
style, but one that is of comparatively
recent date. Its originator was one
Rossignon Rollin, and his greatest ex-
ponent Monsieur Fauvet, of whom it
is said no one could break the bridge
formed by this athlete arching his
back by the aid of his neck and heels.
This style of contention was brought
to America in 1876, and at once took
hold of the Americans, who are ever
on the alert for novelties. Its name
cO-Roman-had considerable to do
with its popularity; but search through
Greek and Roman history fails to sub
stantiate the assertion that it was the
style of competition in use among the
gladiators of the Coliseum or athletic
arena. Research, however, shows that
it was introduced by an adventurer,
and that it was mild species of catch
as-catch-can style.
In the French contest the wrestlers
are stripped to the waist, and fight for
locks and grips above the waist, and no
hold below the belt is allowed and no
tripping or foot playing can be in
dulged in. Some years ago party of
these French wrestlers crossed the
channel and threw down the gauntlet
to all England for bout at their ma
tional pastime. They were met by
England's champions, and in the ma
jority of encounters were worsted, as
the Britons knew just as much of the
supposed new style as did the French
men, added to which they were inva-
riably in much better condition than
the Frenchmen.

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

1t was asserted by a Brazilian dele
gate to the Geneva sanitary congress
that coffee is natural antidote to al
cohol, and that the consumption of al
coholic .stimulants is comparatively
small where coffee is popular drink,
as in his own country.
Russia is about to protect the
Crimean coast and the whole Black
Sea line with torpedoes. Yet it is a
curious fact that very much is feared
from the torpedo, although it has never
been proved in actual warfare to lie Of
any great service against an enemy.
Next year an exhibition of all the
newly invented appliances to diminish
the number and lessen the consequences
of railroad accidents is proposed to be
held in Paris. This should afford an
opportunity for some of the fruits of
American genius to obtain fair pre-
sentation.
Professor Moos, of Heidelberg, has
found good reasons for believing that
many railway accidents have been due
TO defective hearing on the part of en-
gineers or others in charge of trains.
Expert medical testimony shows that
railway employees are especially liable
to affections of the ear.
Leonardo da Vinci thus forshad
owed the telephone: When one is
upon Il lake if he puts the opening of
a trumpet into the water and holds the
point of the tube to his ear he can
perceive whether ships are moving at
a remote distance. The same thing
occurs if he thrusts the tube into the
ground. for then, also, he will hear
what is going on far away"
Death from cold may be simulated
for longer time than is usually sup
posed in the case of the higher ami
mails. Rabbits were shaved by NM.
Richet and Rondeau, and inclosed in
flexible tubes through which there
was flow of salt water, cooled to
seven degrees, until breathing and the
action of the heart ceased. After suf-
fering these mammals to remain in
that condition for half an hour vital
functions were restored.

l am ungrateful. But it is no good
you are acting under a mistake. You
give it up"
"But you, Archer? ?"
81 Oh, I'm right enough p and
he laughed abruptly. "Pshaw, father
what do you take me for, that you try
to saddle me with wife who doesn't
care straw for me? Come, you give
it up?"
my trip to France2 Yes. My
traps are on board, though. l must
try if L can rescue them"
"Pll see to that" said Archer, and
dashed off.
But either he was too late, or they
could not easily be found, for the
steamer padded out of the harbor
with him on the deck, and the traps"
unlanded.
Archer did not go below during the
passage, but watched the moon appear
and disappear among the clouds. or
gazed at its silvery path over the
water.
Many of the passengers looked with
curiosity or interest ut the young man
who, with pale face almost ghostly in
the blush light, leaned motionless
against the side, and looked out on the
waters the whole night through.
Mr.. Douglas followed at more leis-
urely pace; when his son ran off and
left him his mind was busy with this
new problem Could it be possible that
he had indeed been mistaken-that
Honor loved him, with his five-and-
forty years to look back upon, better
than Archer? Had her assertion that
it was but passing fancy weakness
that she had conquered, been the SIM
pie truth? If So
1t was not long before he found that
his son had disappeared, and one or
two inquiries left no doubt as to where
he was gone.
On the following day he was again
at Hastings and held Honor in his
arms.
Are you convinced now?" she
whispered. cam 1 really quite for
given?"
His sole answer was to press her
closer to his breast.
But though they have been married
four years and acurly-haired little An
ME builds houses for baby with bricks
of wood, Archer Douglas has never
been to see his stepmother. Never
since that night has he set foot in
England, though long letters at rare
intervals tell us of his Goings in Aus
tralia, and are full of glowing descrip-
tions OF the climate and of the pleas
ures of the wild, free life out in the
bush.

Rather FOrgetfuI.

Failure of memory is apt to be at
tended with very embarrassing re-
suits sometimes in social life. The
sister of an eminent clergyman, ac-
companying her brother to dinner
party, entirely forgot that she was not
at her own table, and apologized for
the abominably bad dinner. She was
quite ashamed" to see such dishes
sent to the table. The lady of the
house did not enjoy the blunder as
much as the other guests. Lately in
New York distinguished English
gentleman called on big merchant
who had entertained him two years ago.
How dye do, Mr." he said, expect
ing a cordial clasp. "Who are you ?"
rejoined the merchant, whose manners
are at times brusque; Il don't know
you" "Sir &. c." replied the other;
Il had the pleasure of dining with you
two years ago" "A mistake, sir;
never saw you before" and poor Sir G.
c. retired dumbfounded.

WISE WORDS.

Time with respect to principle is an
eternal now.
Charms strike the sight, but merit
wins the soul.
Take your life just as it is given to
you and make it as beautiful as you
can.
Thy friend has friend and thy
friends friend has friend; be dis
Greet.
We should take truth for our guide,
for it is the foundation of all that is
real, noble and grand.
He that wrestles with us strengthens
our nerves and sharpens our skill. Our
antagonist is our helper.
Wound no mans feelings unneces-
sarily. There are thorns in abund-
ance in the path of human life.
' / have seldom known any one who
deserted truth in trifles that could be
trusted in matters of importance.
If you have an opportunity to do a
generous action, do it. 1t is a very
pleasant reflection to go to sleep with.
The fountain of content must spring
up in the mind, and he who has sol little
nature as to seek happiness by chang
ing everything but his own DISPOSE
ton, will waste his life in fruitless
efforts, and multiply the griefs that he
proposes to remove.
You may trust the frank huffman
nered man, but hesitate ere you contide
in the ever polite fellow, who insists
upon shaking your hand every time
you meet, whose face is ever smiling,
whose voice is soft, and whose talk is
in half whispers; such art is foreign
to sincerity; excessive ornamentation
puts a doubt on genuineness.
1t is not what we earn, but what we
save, that makes us rich. 1t is not
what we eat, but what we digest, that
makes us strong. 1t is not what we
read but what we remember, that
makes us wise. 1t is not what we in
tend, but what we do that makes us
useful. 1t is not few faint wishes,
hut lifelong struggle, that makes us
valiant.

Customs In Gloves.

Some curious customs are connected
with gloves. For instance, the cere-
mony of removing them when enter
ing the stable of IA prince or great man,
or else FORGETTING them or their value
to the servant in charge. This is an
odd survival of vassalage, for the re-
moval # the glove was anciently
mark of submission. When lands or
titles were bestowed, gloves were
given at the same time; and when
for any reason tLe lands were for
feited, the offender was deprived of
the right to wear gloves. The same
idea was prevalent in the bestowal of
lady's glove, to be worn in the he'll
met of her knight, and forfeited by
him if her favor ceased. In hunting,
the gloves are supposed to be removed
to-day at the death of a stag. 1t was
a very ancient form of acknowledge
ment to present a pair of gloves to a
benefactor; and white gloves are stih
presented to the judges at maiden as
sizes.

HIS SACRIFICE.

BY the window of the drawing-room
of the corner house in dingy London
square stood Honor Wyllie and Archer
Douglas--a tall, dark-complexioned
girl and slight, fair young man,
somewhat above the middle height.
Honor's slender fingers were me-
chemically untwisting the cords of the
tassel that hung from the heavy cur
tains; her large gray eyes were di-
rected at The little inclosure of smoky
looking tees, upon which the smut
laden rain was falling, but they saw
neither trees nor rain.
Il never for an instant thought of
this" she said, without moving. BE
lieve me, never, or l should have been
more careful"
Her companion made no reply; yet
his figure expressed attention.
"All this time l have been under
the impression that you knew l was
engaged. 1t has been no secret. l
thought every one knew
Still no answer. The young mans
bent head dropped lower on his breast.
"Do speak to me-" she said, plead
ingly, after pause. L" BE angry with
me-anything rather than this silence {.
/ am SO sorry-so ashamed"
"Angry - and Douglas checked a
groan that had all but made itself
heard.
He approached step nearer to her,
to look earnestly at her profile, then
started as a drop of water suddenly
fol ha Of
"Crying, Honor There, will 60.
Thank you for-everything. l hope
he is worthy your love, Honor
Heaven bless you! May you be very
happy! Don't shed any tears for me
don't want to think have clouded
your happiness"
"And l am forgiven?" she con-
trived to ask in choked voice.
Forgiven! For what? For being
too kind and sweet? Yes, forgive
you that, Miss Wyllie! Goodbye"
He moved slowly and unwillingly to
the door.
She waited till he reached it, then
advanced to the middle of the room.
You say you are not angry, and
yet-you are going like that"
Douglas stood irresolute. Dare he
trust himself to take the soft hand APP
pealingly extended? His powers of
self-control were already drawn upon
to almost their full extent.
The next instant he held her hand in
grasp that made her finch, drawing
her toward him the while to obtain a
better view of her half-averted face.
Honor" he said, almost fiercely,
edo you know what you made me
think? That if had been the first
if you were free now"
"Oh, hush!' she cried, shrinking
from him; and wrenching away her
hand, she retreated to the window,
pale as ashes.
Their eyes met. Then not ventur-
ing to utter another word he hastily
quilted the room.
Honor, trembling like leaf, her
heart beating wildly, pressed her face
to the pane to see him pass up the
square; and when he was out of sight
sank on the floor with her head buried
in her arms on the settee.
She had not long been in this posi-

seeing her. Then, on II second inspec-

of Honor, she sat down beside her and
laid her hand on the tumbled hair.

her smooth brow. "Tut, tut, tut F!

A Dream OF Home.

The suns rays slant the path along,
The air is balmy as in June;
The robin sings his evening song,
And through the sky the new, gray moor
Moves calmly on, untrammeled, free,
But something whispers unto me-
mot yet !"
The brook sings as it gently flows,
The frog croaks by the waters rim;
There in content the lily grows,
And there the fishes darting, swim;
I hear and see the old brown MILL
But, ali these sad words haunt me still
"Not yetv'
In clover meadows broad and fair,
In drowsy mood the COWS await
The farm-boy's call upon the air,
While, with his pail, beside the gate
Which opens down the grassy lane,
My brother breathes these words of pain
"Not yet ~
The steepled church, the schoolhouse near,
The wood where have roamed at will,
The quaint, old farmhouse, to me dear,
My youthful home-my manhood's still
see these as in days gone by.
But something whispers las sigh
"Not yet"
Oh, hearts, in whom there is no May!
Who yearn to hear my footballs where
The path, SO beaten, takes its way
Under old trees SO grand and fair
Dear hearts who long for me to come,
can but say can go home
"Not YETI
For longer, still, your breasts must know
sadness free from all disguise,
Ere l can leave these scenes and go
And look into fair, loving eyes,
And clasp the hands SO warm, and kiss
The lips I've pressed so oft in bliss
"Not yetv'
Forgotten, but as sweet and strong
As when one dreamful autumn day
said goodbye" and passed along
Down the old walk, and went away,
Not thinking there would come day
When I should have, as now, to say
Not yet ~
Alas, not yet T.! Far, far from this
Still must wait! All can do
Is just to watt long, long kiss,
Believed with love, Oh, hearts, to you,
And murmur these sad words once more,
Unthought of in the days of yore-
"Not yet"
