THIS WAS MANLY SPORT.
Some OF the Features Included In tn
Olympian Games.

Some OF the Features Included In the
OIympian Games.
The sacred games of Olympia were in
stituted nearly seven centuries before
Christ; and an oath. confirmed by sacri-
flee, was imposed on the athletes before
they entered the lists, binding them to
play fair and take no fraudulent advan-
tase over the other competitors
A reference to these national festi-
walls OF ancient Greece says Black
woods Magazine call to mind their ex-
traordinary duration. There is no
modern parallel to them In this respect.
We reckon our derby, our university
boat race, our Elton and Harrow cricket
match, to be venerable institutions, but
they are very ephemeral observances,
IN sooth, compared with, say, the 18th
nian games, which, founded about B.
c. $50, still constituted three centuries
and half later, a sufficiently i'm
portant anniversary for Flaminius 10
select it as the occasion for proclaiming
the liberty of Greece in B. c. 1876, and,
two centuries and half later still, for
Nero to repeat the proclamation in A.
ID. 81. Such permanence puts to shame
the life Of dynasty, and there is GER
tainly no important event in our sport
ing world which derives its origin from
the year 1900.
But there is another remarkable
feature about these gatherings, namely,
the unchanging character of the per-
fOrmance enacted at them Assuming
the era of Homer to have been five
centuries earlier than the Inauguration
of the Isthmian games, that is, about
3. G. 1000, the sports which he enume-
rates as taking place at the funeral of
Patroclus were identical, not only with
those Of the Olympian, Nemean and
Isthmian celebrations, but strangely
similar to a programme of the present
day. Chariot and footraces, boxing,
wrestling and putting the stone are
of competitive exercises of
the nineteenth century.

SOME EXAMINATION PAPERS,
Struggling Students In India Their
knowledge Of History.

struggling Students In India - Their
knowledge of History.
A writer In the Deccan Budget gives
| some amusing examples of mistakes
made by Indian students in their ex-
animation papers. In historical paper
the question was to explain the SEN
tence, ''She Queen Nary was not
only his wife, but his friend" The
translator made the passage to run:
'She was not only his wife, but the
wife of all his friends"
Another student has given an ex-
PLANTATION of Sale law which at once
accounts for the fact that monarchy
has come to an end in France. He de-
fines Sale law as "a law in France by
which no man descended from the fe-
male sex was to get the French crown"
One student explained that 1.-The
habeaE corpus act was a very important
act passed in 1928. 1t declared that the
bread and wine taken at the Lords
supper is the real blood and body Of
Christ"
Another who imagined the act of
uniformity to be law said that it
meant that all soldiers should dress
alike"
A youthful apostle Of celibacy gives
the following example of logical con-
clusion: Marriage is lottery-lot-
teries are illegal-ergo, marriage is IL
legal"
The following is definition given Of
a sponging-house: in England there
are many people who live by sponging
on others, so there are houses in which
some who are SO lzzy to work depend
on Others"
Another student defined turnkey
ism" as follows: "When printing was
introduced in England by Caxton and
Mr.. Winble, the funkeyism was intro
duced-that is a kind of machine for
printing"

He Is Said to He an Able Diplomat and Pos

He Is Said to he an Able Diplomat and Pos
sessed of Much Personal Magnetism.
VALPARAISO, Chilli, via Galveston,
Tex, April 16.-Senor Blest Cana, to
whom the Chilian government a few
days ago offered the post of minister at
Washington to succeed Senor Pedro
Montt, who will return here to enter
congress, has accepted the office. His ap-
pointment is subject to confirmation by
the commission conservadore which will
meet on Monday. The new minister is
now in Europe. The tender of Office
was made to him through the Chilian
minister at Paris, Senor Matte. Senior
Cana is considered one of the ablest
diplomates in Chilli and is possessed of
much personal magnetism. 1t is
believed that he will create a
favorable impression at Washing
ton. There are excellent reasons
for Pedro Months return, as bitter
conflict between the clerical or conserv-
ative party and the liberals is expected
Immediately upon the reopening of the
congressional session. He can serve
the administration much more efficient
ly as delegate in the national legisla-
ture than he could as a minister at
Washington, now that the Baltimore
unpleasantness has been settled.

WORLDS FAIR DIRECTORS.

No Loan Wanted From the Government,
But What Money Received to Be a Gift.
CHICAGO, April 16.-Worlds fair di-
tors Winston and Odell returned last
evening from Washington. Mr.. Win
ston says they had been in Washington
but a short time when they
discovered that congress would not vote
money for stock in the exposition.
Therefore he and his colleagues changed
tactics and told Chairman Durburow
that a loan would be accepted.
'Not having time to consult the di-
rectory, we did what we thought was
best" said Mr.. Winston.
Vice-President Higinbotham, how
ever, says the directory will not accept
loan.
Chicago cannot afford to put herself
in that position" he says. "f the
government thinks it is not responsible
for any part of the exposition's success,
we shall have to go ahead and COM
plete the work ourselves. We cannot
afford to borrow from the government
that would take away the national
character of the exposition and make it
appear to be private enterprise de-
pendent on public bounty"

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 14.-The Mis-
sissippi at this point is booming and
last night was within three inches of
the danger line and rising. A large
area of low lands on the Arkansas line
near the city is flooded and between
Walnut bend and Council bend, fifty
miles below this city on the same side,
about 500 acres of corn have been washed
out. No serious damage or loss of life
has been reported.
A lot of colored Oklahoma boomers
who left here last Saturday for the over
land trip in wagons are water bound in
the Arkansas bottoms, few miles from
Memphis They sent contingent back
to this city to tell of their distress and
collections have been taken up in the
different churches for their benefit.
The money collected will be sent the
belated negroes to proceed on their
journey by rail.
DEVASTATION NOT EXAGGERATED.
WEST POINT, Miss, April 14.-Re-
ports sent out from this point of the
devastation caused by the late washoutS
have not been at all exaggerated, but in
fact under stated. Destruction both OF
property and life has been the result
and the end is not yet reached.
The Mobile & Ohio, Georgia Pacific
and Illinois Central have all beer
blocked up for the past seven days, but
the first named is now able to get two
trains day through.
The damage done on the Mobile a
Ohio in this county alone will not fall
far short of $40, 900, while the other tive
roads have been each damaged at Least
twice that sum- The first train this
week on the Georgia Pacific started yes
terday, but did not go as far as Columbus
On account of the high water still
prevailing on the Illinois Central weel
will be required to get even temporary
track. All the creeks in this county
have exhausted their over supply of wa

BANlsHED FROM RUSSIA.
An O-d Couple Recognized BY New York
Immigration Commissioner.

An O-d Couple Recognized BY New YOrk's
Immigration Commissioner.
New YORK, April 14.-As immigration
Commissioner John R. Weber stood in
the registry bureau at Ellis island yes
terday he recognized in an old man and
woman Russian and his wife whom he
had seen in Moscow when he was there
They were Mr.. and Mrs. Rafael NJ.
Etross, steerage passengers on the Gu
harder Servia, and had with them their
four children. In Moscow they lived
near the Etrope prison, in the suburbs.
Rafael assisted his brother, a merchant
who had the privilege of doing business
for five years in the city and for fifteen
years more in the suburbs. Rafael, as
his brothers assistant, enjoyed like
privilege.
Mrs Etross was accustomed to pass
in food and dainties to the prisoners in
the Etrope prison. Col. Weber on his
visit warned her that she would get
herself and family into trouble, and so
it proved. Rafael was notified by the
chief of police to leave the city inside of
six months. He showed his official
papers granting him permission to re-
main, and even sent notification to
the Grand Duke Alexis, but in vain.
Rafael sold his property for 10 per cent.
of it's value and started for America.
He still had money left Monday and
was promptly passed with his family.

POINTED PARAeRAPHs.

Things have changed, indeed,
when the republicans have to throw
Doodle into Rhode Island to keep the
state from going democratic. Louis
vile Courier-Journal.
The Importance of democratic
victory in Rhode Island is not to he
measured by the size of the state. Such
a victory would spread over the whole
country.-N. Y. World.
President Harrison doesn't want
denomination unless it's forced upon
him, and he means to have it forced
upon him if he has to write every fourth
class postmaster in the country warm
ing letter.-Chicago Times.
The Ohio republican state com
mittee does not think that the man who
was big enough to devise the Mckinley
bill and to be elected governor is big
