 As medical man with fairly largo practice meet with and treat cases which cover q very wide ground But never until last night have met with case the trouble and very probable suf- foriug from witch may be distinctly traced to thecamying of q walking stick!

 No, he had not been boating. Then ] suddenly caught sight of walking stick resting by the side of bis chair, and which he had brought into the room The secret oft all was soon out then q very simple secret T. was thick and heavy stick weighing quite pound. He had carried that in tho right hand for whole week, while he admitted that his left hand generally occupied his trousers pocket, The constant using of the stick had worn the skin away, while the car ryingof it-uot having been equally bal mced between the two hands had caused the one not thus exercised to be- come stiff and positively useless for tho time being
 A walking stick, to my mind, is not the most desirable thing. Still l sup pose they Will always bo carried, but | would warn those whu carry tAom to excess. Sticks should bc avoided with plated tops Either they should be ot silver or gold or somU perfectly pure metal, or. better still, only the polished top of the natural stick should comeinto contact with the flesh of the hand which ofteu--us in the case Of clerks and those not occupied in manual labor is as tcn- der and susceptible todiseasc as any part of the body A glove might however overcome this difficulty.
 Then as to the weight of tho stick lt is only reasonable to suppose tlat too greet a drag on the muscles is not cal culased to improve theu Stretching the muscles in this manner is far from advisable. 4 man should carry stick in proportion to his own weight aud stick from 10 10 ounces will To found as good as any

The beauty of the Administration building rotunda is being marred slowly but surely. First came a guidebook stand then cigar and tobacco showcases obtained footing, and last, but not least, is the alleged model of the treasury building at Washington, which is being constructed of pane, blue cheese cloth and Columbian half dollars.
 The wooden base on which the coins are being glued is extremely inartjstic itself, but the man who made it evident ly failed to take into consideration the size of the half dollars, and the coins are being cut into all sorts of shapes and de faced iu eyery. conceivable manner to make them fit and hide the lumber.
 There are $40 windows in the thing, and each window represents at least five mutilated coins, entailing loss of Sl,- 700. To make all the edges and corners of the porticoes, verandas and cornices straight will necessitate the spelling of 2,000 more coins.
 The whole thing, from the coarse iron fence to the tin window frames, is an eyesore, and none is quicker to recog- nize this fact than the visitors from the country. for whose delectation the thing is being built.-Chicago Tribune.

Modern Athletes and Their Predecessors.

Modern Athletes and Their Predecessors.
 In Outing S. Scoville writes concern ing athletic records. He is no believer in the doctrine that in former times men were more powerful and active physic- ally than they are at the present day He considers that the best of the Greeks were probably little superior to the athletes of today, but to the Greeks alone does he award this praise The remarkable records of feats of strength and endurance that are quoted as proof of the physical degeneracy of mankind he is inclined to treat with scant respect 1 Where reliable records have been pre- served he shows that in all contests the athlete today is an abler man than his predecessors.
 Tie cause assigned is better hygienio conditions, a more intelligent system of training and better knowledge of the lawsof health. The author shows that in all running races, save the long distance races, and in walking contests the time is far better now than it was before and that the same superiority can be shown to exist in every branch of athletics in which its possible to make comparisons While admitting that more perfect tracks and appliances of all kinds arc accountable for a part of the gain, Mir Scoyille of the opinion that tho modern athlete would have beaten his predeces- sor on lis own grounds.
