TIE ScllOoImaster's Promise.

"Boys," said an old schoolmaster
smiling, one day, ~ am about to bargain
with you for good conduct, desire that
you will behave yourselves with decorum
for one week, and | will promise to show
you curiosity-what no man ever saw,
and, having shown it to you, what no
man will ever see again" An anxious
week followed-a week of curiosity, be-
wilderment, hope, and pleasure in en-,
bryo. Out of school it was all the talk
"What could it be2' Another and an
other day, until the last Saturday dawned
upon our gladdened young hearts. Nine

he continued: "This no man ever saw I"
then opening his capacious jaws he thrust
in the mysterious kernel, crushed and

the dealer.
"Put your money up" insinuated the
stranger
''No, SIR" replied the dealer in a
pompous style; "my word is as good as

"All right, I'll take you," responded
the stranger, as he departed. Some time
after he returned with box under each
arm.
"Stick to your agreement" he que
ried.
''Of course l will," answered the
dealer, wondering what in the name of
Christopher Columbus the man had in
view.
The stranger set his boxes down on the
sidewalk, and a crowd began to collect.
He told the dealer that he was afraid
that he (the DEALER would back out Of

readiness to put up the stamps if nee

Diet for Athletes.

In Doctor Sargent's recent lecture on
''What Shall We Eat to Get Strong2" he
said in the course of his remarks: "It
has been customary to train athletes
on lean beef and mutton, but he thought
this mistake, as tissue making food
should be used in combination with
these, and the diet should be so changed
as to meet the requirements of the Or
ganism of the person using it, for to
establish one diet for all persons was
ridiculous. Beef alone is not superior
to meal, beans, or other farinaceous food,
and the size of the muscles of a man
is not indicative of his strength.
Farinaceous food tones man down,
and will tend to give him more endur-
ance. A man who can strike a blow
equal to four hundred pounds would be
called strong man, but this strength
cannot be kept up for any length of
time on animal food, as it comes from
the base OF the brain, and endurance
must be sought for in other kinds of
food. To reduce the weight of man in
training lean meats may do, but when
he is down in weight he must go back
to food containing more carbon, such as
ham and sausages, which should al
ways be eaten cold. Three years ago
this would have been considered ridicu-
lous by trainers, but for diet for run
ming, walking and rowing it has been
found that saccharine food, with beef or
mutton is the best; tea, coffee and al
cohol. as well as condiments, are obiec-
tionable; indeed, it is not the quantity
of food person eats that strengthens
him, but the amount assimilated and
worked into the organism. m.-Haroard

A Mexican Pyramid.

Fresh proofs are reported to have been
discovered of the existence of an ancient
civilization in Mexico. In Sonora, about
sixty miles southeast of the town of
Madeline, some explorers have found in
the heart of a virgin forest pyramid,
which is 1850 feet around the base and
750 feet high-that is to say, nearly
double the size of the great pyramid of
Cheops. From the base to the summit
there is roadway on which vehicles can
travel round the vast erection in q spiral.
The outside walls are built of granite
blocks carefully fooled and bedded A
little further off is hillock, with
hundreds of caverns or chambers cut in
it, from five to fifteen feet wide and ten
to fifteen feet long. They have no win
dows, and are entered by the roof. The
wall are covered with hieroglyphics and
curious pictures with the feet and hands
of men. Stone utensils have also been
found there. Who the builders of these
ancient monuments are is still unsettled,
but according to El LIBERAL they prob
ably belong to Mayos, who formerly in
habited Sonora, and were different race
from the Indians, having blue eyes, o
white skin and blonde hair.

Visitors to Sitka are at once attracted
by the old castle on the hill, once the
home of the Russian governor, who ruled
with almost despotic power, but now,
alas, converted into a United States sig
nal station. Once destroyed by fire and
once prostrated by an earthquake, it was
each time rebuilt. Signs of dilapidation
are observable, but its massive walls will
probably stand for generations. The
desolation of its appearance lends an
added charm to the legends which hang
about it. One of these traditions is to
the effect that Baron Romanoff, when oc-
cupying the castle as governor, had in
his household niece, an orphan whose
guardian he was, a most beautiful young
lady, as all traditionary maidens are or
should be. She had bestowed her
affections upon a young lieutenant,
to wed powerful prince, then stopping
as guest at the castle, she refused. The
Romanotf, concealing his displeasure un-
der cloak of yrbanity, gave the OBJ
structing lieutenant an honorable COM
mand and dispatched Inn upon an ex-
pedition to some distance. During the
absence Of the lover the maiden yielded
to the threats and demands of her stern
uncle, and the wedding preparations
were hastily made. The timid and
heartbroken girl and the prince stood
up before the priest, who solemnized the
forced union, the marriage bells rang
out their mock peals of joy, and revelry
held sway in the great hall of the castle.
Suddenly the young lieutenant stood in
the midst of the gay throng, his gar
ments travel-stained and torn, and his
countenance haggard with suffering.
He paused before the unhappy
maiden, took her hand in his,
gazed into her face, and then upon the
ring the prince had placed upon her
finger Without uttering word, and
while the assembled guests were star
ing with amazement and curiosity, he
drew dagger from his belt and plunged
it into her breast He rushed from the
castle and leaped into the sea, to find
rest in the bosom of the waters. On the
anniversary of her wedding night the
spirit of the murdered girl can be seen
passing through the castle halls, dressed
in her rich bridal robes, tears streaming
from her eyes as she presses her hand
over the red wound in her breast. Often
before severe tempest she may be seen
on the tower of the abandoned light
house, burning light till dawn to guide
the spirit of her lover on the stormy sea.

Tougher Than Pie.Crust.

"That horrid Mrs. Sawyer!" said Mrs.
Jones, the other day. 81 wish she
would move out of the neighborhood."
"Well, what do you run there all the
time for2 l told you how it would be"
retorted Mr.. Jones.
This was not the kind of sympathy
Mrs. Jones expected, and she became
aminously silent.
"What has she said about you now2"
inquired Mr., Jones.
"Oh, it's nothing about me-" said
Mrs. Jones.
"Who is it about9" asked Jones, with
evident anxiety.
"It's about you," resumed Mrs. J.
"She says you're no more fit to run for
office than a brindlc cat, and that if Saw
yer votes for you she'd never speak to
him again She says
" Never mind,n said Jones loftily.
"I'm not the least interested in what a
feeble minded woman says"
But the tlatiron had struck home, and
Jones left the table with look on his
tace that BODIED no good
1t was baking day at the Sawyers'.
If there was anything Mrs. Sawyer
prided herself upon it was the tender,
tiaky quality of her paste. Jones knew
his.
Mrs. Sawyer was just rolling that ten
der pie-paste into great sheets of trans
parent dough, when there came knock
at the door, Mrs. Sawyer answered it,
rolling-p pin in hand. 1t was Willie Jones
who had knocked.
'Please, Mrs. Sawyer" " said the inno-
cent child, "pa would like piece of
your pie-crust"
Certainly, Willie" said Mrs. Jones,
much fattered, "but it isn't baked
yet"
''He doesn't want it baked"
''But he can't eat raw pie-crust."
''He isn't going to eat it,"
"Then what is he going to do with
t2"
HE said he wanted to mend the har-
ness, and make hinges for the barn door
with it, and"z-
The rolling pin hung fire, and the boy
escaped, but the barrier between the
houses of Jones and Sawyer can never be
broken. 1t is tougher than pie-crust.-

The Greeks Of Old.

The physical superiority of the ante
Alexandrian Greeks to the hardest and
most robust nations of modern times, is
perhaps best illustrated by the military
statistics of Xenophon. According to
the author of the Anu5dSiS, the complete
accoutrements of Spartan soldier in
what we would call heavy marching
order, weighed seventy-five pounds, ex
elusive of the camp mining, and bridge
building tools, and the rations of bread
and dried fruit, which were issued in
weekly installments, and increased the
burden of the infantry soldier to ninety,
nlnety-tive, or even to a full hundred
pounds. This load was often carried at
the rate of four English miles an hour
for twelve hours per diem, day after day ;
and only in the burning deserts of South
ern Syria, the commander of the Grecian
auxiliaries thought it prudent to shorten
the usual length of days march by one
fourth. The gymnastic tests applied by
the systanchus, or recruiting officer of a
picked corps, would appear more pre-
posterous to the uniformed exquisite of a
modern 'crack regiment. Even tall,
well-shaped men of the soundest consti-
tuition, could not pass the preliminary
examination unless they were able to
jump their own height vertically and
thrice their own length horizontally, and
two thirds of those distances in full
armor; pitch weight equal to one-third
of their own, to distance of twenty
yards, and throw q javelin with such
dexterity that they would not miss a
mark the size of a mans head more than
four out of ten times at distance of
fifty yards, beside other tests referring
to their ex pertness in the use of the bow
and the broadsword, Popular Science

the honor he enjoyed in the patronage

manner:
"Good morning, Mr.. o'Conor. Fine

about his new customers chin.

REacking the Yellow Fever.

Mental confusion is phenomenon to
which every one is liable who can be
BADLY scared, and it takes but very little
of it to turn tragedy into farce. Some
years ago, when the terrible "Yellow
Jack" was in Savannah, Judge B,
of the supreme court of the state, was
holding session in the upper county, but
within twenty four hours run, by mail,
of the infected city. Quite suddenly,
late one afternoon, he was seized with a
ead-ache, pain in his back, limbs, etc.
Having heard that these were the saluta-
tions which Yellow Jack extends to his
victims when approaching them, the
Judge, in great CONSERVATION, applied to
4 friend, who was ''posted," for advice.
A hot mustard bath was ordered at once,
and the judge was soon laving himself
in the irritating fluid
Presently he felt better, and finding a
cake of soap in the bath tub, he began

After some pleasant exercise in this way,
ne looked down for the first time on his
body and limbs, and to his horror dis

and declared that the symptoms were in

''The only hope is in mustard; rub

NOT TODAY,

Not to-day the golden fIuition
OF the hopes that beckon on,
For the joy of attained ambition
Flashed not from the eyes Of da1A
Not to-day the vessel riding
In the port of Happy Isles,
Where rapture is ever abiding
And illusion no more beguiles
Not to-day the bloom of the lotus
To gladden. seasick eyes,
And glory like that of Canopus
On the evenings tropic skies.
All of these for evasive tomorrow,
But to-day desires unrest,
The toll of endeavor and sorrow
For the slow, uncertain quest.
