The Love Of Outerdoor Sports.


AS soon as you have drop of An
glo Saxon blood in your veins Of a
people you have also his hearty,
wholesome love of exciting, even
perllously exciting, outdoor sports.
And thank God for it. I only wish
that every young man in this country
could have his blood steam quicken
ed, his muscles hardened, his eye
frightened, his brain cleared, his
imagination purIged every day of
his life by game of foot ball, by a
pull on the river or twenty-mile
ride in the saddle. Not only was
Waterloo won at Eten, but England
owes her present prominence more
to the outdoor life of her people
than to any other one cause. Do you
know that London is the only city
in all history which has been great
city for 1000 years! That means
something. 1t means stamina, a
virility; it means BOTTOM" and this
or these the English have.
Two hundred years from now these
pale-faced, indeor-keeping, cigarette.
inhaling, morbid, sickly.imaginative
youths of our cities are to have a
stultifying and weakening effect up
on our population. Mark my words,
the time will come before this terres-
trial ball disappears in flames, when
a man who does not take care of
his health will be treated as now in
sane people are treated. These fab.
by, white-faced men who begin the
day with a cocktail end it with sixty
grains of bromide and keep them
selves in form all day with whiskey,
will be relegated to asylums and
made to play at tennis and ride and
eat oatmeal and beef, and get up at
6 o'clock every morning and 60 to
bed at III, and when they get SO and
so much blood in their cheeks and a
,rtain sparkle in their eyes, they
will be released. Cor. Kansas CITY

It is well for everybody to be
warned that this is the season for
pneumonia. According to Halls
Journal Of Health, Anything that
lowers the vitality of the system is
conducive to the disease, and should
be carefully avoided. Oyerwork,
either physical or mental, has much
to do with it, and this explains why
so many business men and brain
workers fall victims to it. Sudden
changes of the weather and draughts
of all kinds arc to be guarded
against" The exercise of little
care is an effective preventive in the
case of pneuomonia.

STORY.
IN THE OLD HOME.

Yes, ] was really engaged to be
married, and marriage was quite
an event in our family, since Ellen
and Sophy and Prudence were all set
tied into old maids, and mamma was
a widow Of twenty years standing,
Nell had been engaged once; but
her lover, poor soul, was wrecked in
the Arctic; and Sophy was plain,
and had never received proposal at
all, and Prudence had always been
too busy in caring for the household
and nursing mamma to think of such
a thing. So that We had lived like a
sisterhood of nuns in the old hall

1t was a moIdy, rusty sort of an
old place; although in bygone years
it must have been stupendously
grand. There was conservatory,
where no flowers evet grew din

crowded with old packing boxes and

solitary portrait of high shouldered
Venyille ancestor hung by broken
red cord, sad relic of all the dep arted
art treasures.
There were deserted lawns, where
blg-eyed cows and gentle sheep graz
ed up to the very door there were
aelapitated fountains. whose water
ducts were choked up with dry
leaves and dust; paths grown over
with Weeds, box-monsters distorted
out of all shape, roses grown to
tangled wildornesses, And we the
widow Venville and her four daugh
ters, lived in one wing, keeping as
comfortable as we could, and trying
to be ladies on an income which
would have pinched a charwoman.
Until Helen Devsreux, who had
married young lawyer, invited mt
to come and visit her-me, Tilly

eighteen, with round, blue eyes ant

POETRY.
The Story for Ny Father.
By BESSIE o. CUSHING.

sat alone In the cleaning
OF sad November day;
From the glowing west the crimson
Had slowly died away;
And the masses of clouds were sinking
To bands of ashen gray. -.-
My fingers were weary with writing,
And the words were blotted with tears
have almost finished nay story,
Aud It's final chapter meals, .r.
SO paused TO look back on the pages
Ihad written in other years.
Here all the pages are snowy;
Ihave traced them around with flowers
In their folds are some wtthered daisies
That gathered in childhood hours.
Here's page with It's sable border.
And bit of folded Grape,
That wrote through swimming tears
Till the letters lost their shape.
And this is the rose-scen ted chapter
On leaves of the roses hue.
Oh! this wrote in the June of life
When my beautiful roses grew.
mere the leaves are pluneu tOScGucIs
III not unfold them to- might.
It's an unfinished chapter-and-wel
The old pain is not gone-nct quite.
Then follow some tear stained pages
That wrote with trembling hand;
And chapters all full of errors;
Not at all like those planned.
Its Mistakes o Father, are many,
And its merits. alas, are so few!
And its blotted, tear-staiued pages
Are so soon TO meet thy view.
All the exquisite, tender feelings
In writing, have lost their charm;
And the rarest. sweetest fancies
My words could never form.
Then I lifted my eyes Of sorrow
And gazed in the night afar,
And 10! in the sombre twilight
Shone the radiant evening star.
And, from out of its light, an angel
Came down q starlit stair,
And whispered In sweetest accents,
That stilled my wild despair
"Grieve not for those beautiful feelings,
For thy fancies SO sweet and rare,
But know that thy Father can read them
In unseen writing there"

HOUSEHOLD.
Meat Diet Not Necessary.

The Roman soldiers, who built
such wonderful roads and carried a
weight of armor and luggage that
would crush the average farm hand,
lived on coarse brown bread and
sour wine. They were temperate in
diet, regular and consistent in ex-
ercise. The Spanish peasant works
every day and dances half the
night, yet eats only his black bread,
onion and watermelon. The Smyrna
porter eats only little fruit and
some olives. He eats no beef, pork
or mutton, yet he walks off with
his load of 800 pounds. The coolie,
fed on rice, is more active and can
endure m ore than the negro fed on
fat meat. The. heavy work of the
world is not done by men who eat
the greatest quantity. The fastest
or longest winded horse is not the
biggest eater. Moderation in diet
seems to be the prerequisite for en-
durance.

low them to appropriate to each one
of themselves this large amount Of

hundred cents.' However, this incl

A Storm-Ralslng Cyclone Pit.

1t is currently rumorel that a GER
tain citizen of Beauregard has cy,
clone pit, and that he charges per-
sons fifty cents to 60 into and ex-
plore il. The appearance Of the
weather outside is entirely imma-
trrial--the price is all the same.
Conveniently arranged inside are
fifty cent TASKS Of whisky, one of
which each explorer is permitted to
pocket. 1t is also reported that the
owner of this remarkable pit hal
shipped to him not long since at
Montgomery, five or six miles below
his own depot, two barrels of whis-
ks, lot Of jugs, bottles, and sack
of corks which he hauled through
the country in two-mule wagon
just where the liquid freight stop
ped is not stated, but the indica.
tiohs are strong that it is bottled in
the fifty cent Beauregard pit.
Meanwhile Prohibitionists are qui-
city taking weather notes, and the
next Copiah grand jury will no
doubt raise a wind against which the
aforesaid pit of liquid damnation will
afford its festive proprietor not the
slightest protection. According to
latest representations, this storm is
due about next May.
