According to weather observation

age OF lat dark days in the year to IL.

July they are most ehangeable.
Recent explorations at the ancieni
temple of Anxur. near Terracina, or
the Italian coast, have brought to light
a natural conduit stretching through
the rock. through which a current OF
air passes. It is thought that the
draught turned the leaves of the Sibyi-
| line books for the oracle. Chiidren's
toys in lead, tables. chairs and candel-
abra have also been found there.
"A cartoon which the Paris Figaro
| had ready to publish at the time of
President Carnot's death was one of
the usual illustrations by Forain.S The
artist, thinking of the possible retire
ment of Carnot from the presidency,
had figured two walters at the banquet
of Lyons. exchanging opinions. One
says to the other, pointing at Carnot,
Look at him.well; it is the last time
you will see him." Of course the pic
ture was never published. %
The camel in wild state is sup
posed to be still in existence in central
Asia, but is extremely rare. 1t was
thought to be extinct, but some fifteen
years ago the Russian explorer, Priva1-
sky. discovered them; and last year Mr..
Littlcdale, in the course of a Journey
across Asia from Batufn to Pekin,
shot four in the desert of Cobb, little
eastward of Lob Nor. It is still ques-
toned whether these were. in an un-
doubtedly wild state, as they may have
descended from domesticated animals.
Few streets in Paris have puzzled

Tn. Austrian Mnitary Oath.

In the Austrian military academies
on the emperors birthday the young
officers, our Vienna correspondent says,
receive their nominations and take the
oath. One of the speeches delivered by
Col Steinitz at cadets academy, near
Brunn, recently, contained this pass
age; IAN oath is a sacred act. SO
God hefp. me- This formula
alone consecrates you as Gods
warriors. An oath is uncondi-
tional- It takes the whole man.
What you believe, or feel, what you
think-give it all up, for you have
taken the oath. Respect our laws.
trust your superiors, do not interpret.
do not criticise. He alone serves God
who keeps his oath. We have never in
the army sought for God-fearing men
IN vain. Our august chief gives us the
example Of religious life." In these
words our correspondent sees an un.
effort to protect the army
against the socialist spirit that is
gradually entering it. Clerical ten
dencies have in the past never been OBJ
served in: the ranks of the Austrian
army. London Daily News.

WHO is A sPoRTq


Who is . Sporting Man, Who IL q sports
man, and Who Is who?
There was a knot of men standing
ON street corner. One of them hai
just finished relating some expert
ences of hunting excursion which he
had taken the day previous down the
river.
$50 you're a sporting man, are you,
Jack? never knew that before,
really" said one of his companions.
mo, sir" said the first speaker. "I
am not a sporting man; am sports
man, but am neither sporting man
nor sport.
''Indeedl And where. pray, is the
difference?''
THE difference? Why, great Scott,
man, there is as much distinction be-
tween sportsman, a sporting man and
a sport as there is between doctor, q
cannibal and a thief.' The speaker
glared at the others, but the first man
still looked blank.
Pray define it. then" he said after
a pause.
TO be sure. It's something that
everybody ought to know, but unfortu-
nately lots of folks never take the
trouble to learn those things. Asports-
man is man who loves sports in its
truest sense. At least / so consider it.
He is man who enjoys hunting, FISH,
ing, c4mping-out, and is commonly
fond of other athletic amusements in
the waylof boating, swimming, riding
and the like. He is, pardon my opin-
ion, apt to be a man of gentlemanly in
stincts and brains.
"A sporting man Is an entirely diff
ferent sort of a fellow. He is one who
takes an interest in sports of different
sorts, although he may not engage in
any OF them at all. He probably plays
the races, drinks hard, takes in all the
prize-fghts, and spends most of his
evenings, when there is nothing else on
hand, playing cards and whoopinQ
things up. But sport is ON still low
er scale. He is fellow who thinks
he's big potatoes, when he's really
nothing but runt.
He need not know anything about
sports or engage in them. either. His
reputation will be won chiefly by his
loud dress, his firtations with the
girls, his hanging round saloons and
his general worthIessness. No, sir;
there are good many persons who are
proud to be called sporting men, or
sports, but to call true sportsman by
such term is little short of an insult.
