Every one, however, who Is not a school
master is aware that q young Englishman
knows almost nothing of the literature of
his own land, and what little he does know
dislikes, because he has had at school to
translate it into Latin. 1t is most humli-
ating TO hear the American youth discourse
upon this matter while our own sons sit
mum and glum. Efforts have been made of
late to find out what our boys do read for
their own pleasure, and the result of these
inquiries seems to be that they read the
accounts of priZe-6ghts. One head master
tries 10 prove that this is derived from the
influence of Homer. but it is much more

ton to athletics. From whatever cause 1t
arises it is certainly true that while there is
no deficiency of good poetry and good fic

for neither.

1t was the famous athlete and oarsman,

Dan Mcleod, the celebrated wrestler, as

Stanbury was the observed of all observ-

The champion oarsman, contrary to the
opinion formed by those who have seen him
in street dress, is by no means muscularly
built fellow. In fact he is a decidedly lean
athlete when compared with the local cham
pisn, Henry Peterson, who is a splendidly
muscled man.
Stanbury, however. is one OF a class of
men who when stripped for a contest show
form which is disappointing to the eye OF
critical observer. He is an athlete of
large bone. with long and light muscles
covering the shoulder blades aud thighs.
To use the words of an Olympic Club
member, "Stanbary is built for rowing and
long-dl5tance running, but for fighting and
wrestling he Is an off chip OF the old block"

A STORK MONOPOLiST.
An Incident Which Is Alleged to Be
True
London Spectator.

London Spectator.
The following incident, Illustrating the
reasoning faculty in the stork, took place
in my Swedish home. 1t may possibly in
terest your readers:
In Shame, in the southern part Of Sweden,
a pair OF slorks lived for many years on the
roof of my fathers parsonage. One spring
a pair of young storks appeared in the
place. who, after surveying the old nest
probably their parental home-set about
building their habitation on the opposite
side OF the roof. When it was finished and
the eggs had been laid the old female stork
returned, look look at the newcomers,
but allowed them to remain In their home in
peace. Her atteD ton was soon occupied
by number Of young suiors, who zeal
ously wOOed her, though she rejected air
their offers. Some days later this Penelope
among birds was rewarded by the arrival
OF her old mate. But then came an end to
the truce with the young birds. That very
evening the old stork, followed by his
female companion, flew to the nest Of the
newcomers. BY violent blows Of their
beaks they first put the young male stork to
flight and then began to attack the setting
hen. Patiently she suffered all ill-uSage
and remained upon her eggs.
The assailants then altered their tactics.
one continued to attack the young mother
bird while the other, wat hing till in her
struggles TO evade the blows an egg became
uncovered, instantly pushed 1t out of the
nest. Thus, one by one, the four precious
eggs were remOrsely sacrificed. When all
the eggs had been destroyed the young fe-
male stork, after standing for some time in
the courtyard looking UP to her ruined home
as II in despair. sadly flew away. There was
never sign of that pair of stOrks on our
roof again. The old ones had attained their
end-henceforth they were the only storks
In that part of the country. and were left
In sole possession of its food supply. To the
Inhabitants of our parsonage, whose sympa-
thies for the old st0rks were thus rudely
shaken, 1t seemed just retrlbutiOn that
though the birds had some eggs that sum-
mer none were Matched, and thus the old
storks had to return alone to their southern
quarters that winter-a solitary pair.

Difficulties of Smokers.


The Turks are now a nation of smokers,
but early In the seventeenth century the
priests and rulers denounced smoking as
criminal. and Amurath ~ ordered its pun
ishment by death in the crueest forms. One
playful punishment consisted in thrustIng
the pipes Of smokers through their noses.
In Russia, at the same period, the noses
Of smokers were cut off The powers eccle-
siastcal were strongly opposed to the new
habit. and PoDes Urban VIII and Innocent
y Numbered in turn against the terrible
vice Of smoking. The papal thunders, how
ever, proved pOwerless against the charms
of 81. Nicotine. although there was much
reason in those DEGREES which were directed
against the custom OF smoking and snufhng
in church. Pope Urban accommodated
ali who should be guilty of so unbecoming
practice, and later. Innocent X solemnly
accommodated all who should take snuff

A BOON TO THE RUSSIANS.
Until Recently They Did not Know the
Use of Beds.

House Furnishing Review
Not until recently have the Inhabitants of
Russia known the use of beds, excepting in
the case of the luxurious patricians who
were able TO purchase them. The peasants
slept on the large bake ovens to be found In
nearly every house, while the soldiers were
provided with sort OF cot without bedding,
The middle classes and the Students on the
other hand, cOntented themselves with
wrapping blanket about them and lying
down near rather primitlve-lO3king stoves.
Not so long ago beds were introduced in
to the boardiDg-s schools which abound in
that empire, and now the use of beds has
become rather general. As is usual in this
absolute monarchy the'introduction of these
articles of comfort had to be brought about
by special edict from the Gar Of all the
Russlas, and, as matter of course. the
servile schoolboys and others who have
been allowed 10 use them by royal behest

benetaetor. They might well do so, for
never before have the babies even known
the existence of cradles. cribs or cots.

RACING TRAINS.
How Webb Ross Put His big Four
Engine in a Winner.
st. Louis GIobe-Dlspatcl

st. Louis Globe Dispatch.
Webb Ross, the unfortunate engineer on
the ''Big -Four" who persisted in the acci-
dent yesterday was noted for his bravery
and skill in handling fast locomot tive. His
record for making up lost time is common
talk along the division over which he ran.
In an article written by Agent Ii. c. Rood
of the American Express Company, some
years ago, he gives vivid description Of
race between the "Big Four" and the Wa
bash between East st. Louis and Alton.
Between these stations the roads are paral-
lei and the two night trains from ST. Louis
leave at almost the same time. Exciting
races often result from this arrangement.
Speaking of one Of those races Mr.. Rood
told how he had sat in the locomotive cab
and watched Webb Ross manipulate fast
flying locomotive. He boarded the engine
at East ST. Louis and was greeted with q
smile by the engineer, whose face was so
familiar to everybody along his run. lie
asked him il he wanted to take a ride and
he said he had no objection to making the
run TO Alton, distance If twenty-five miles.
DE accepted the invitation and The train
started out at the normal speed up north.
Only few miles had been made when the
engineer noticed that the Wabash as only n

collected, and when he was not working the
machinery he Kept telling Mr.. Rood that the
locomotive would win out. When Alton
junction was reached Webb's locomotive
was way ahead and ran into the depot far
in the lead of its competitor. The passen-
gers on Webb's train applauded and ieered
