THE IRON INSTRUMENT.
A Little Fable of the UncOnsciO
Selfish Man.

Little Fable of the Unconscious
Selfish Man.
From Life.
Do not condemn this man; he is happy
but his brow is yielding to the iron in
strument whose record Is not easily ef-
faced.
A young girl knelt beside a man who
loved his own conception Of the beautiful
She knelt and reached out both her hands
to him. He lifted them sadly to his lips
"Oh, you dear little thing" he murmured
''if you were not so nearly beautiful
Her forehead was not broad enough, he
thought, for perfec. beauty.
Il shall be beautiful" she said. and took
up an iron instrument that could be made
to broaden foreheads or to narrow them
When she first put it on she almost tainted
with the pain Of it. but she told herself
1--WE must suffer to be beautiful for. those
we love-" And yet her love denied all suf-
fering.
Because the instrument was his she loved
to wear 1t. She was happy through the
binding days, while hairsbreadth after
hairsbreadth her strong. firmly-knit young
brow yielded and was nodded into his be-
lief of perfect form. And ever she re-
peated to herself. I'VE must suffer to be
beautiful for those we love-" And ever
love denied the suffering.
You are beautiful" he said at last.
II am very proud Of you-and yet l wish
l wish you did not look as if you had led
an unhappy life. 1 know that you are
happy. l have done everything to make
you beautiful and perfect, and 1 know that
1 have made you happy. and yet you have
the look of woman who has conquered
suffering, and people notice it,
People shall not notice it," she said,
and she kissed him in pure seif-renuncia-
ton. II am happy" and she tried to
change the look, but 1t had been traced
there by the iron instrument whose record
is not easily effaced.
One day the look was gone. She reached
her hands to him, and he lifted them sadly
to his lips. She was absolutely beautiful
but she was dead!
Afterward he loved selfish woman and
became unSelfiSh,l

ATHLETICS IN GREECE.
Great International Carnival of Sport
to he Held There In 1896.

Grcnt International Carnival of Sport
to he Held There In 1896.
From Exchange.
After d lapse of about 1000 years the
Oily mpic games are to be renewed to fur
Their the cause of international amateur
sport. The prime mover in this revival
is a brilliant young Frenchman, Baron
Pierre de Coubertin. who is well known
in his own country as promoter of the
manly sports and in the United States
through medals which he has offered to
American colleges for excellence in de-
bating-one at Princeton, another at the
University of Louisiana and a third to be
contested for by the Leland Stanford and
California Universities.
Before making the bold proposal to ap-
point international committee with
jurisdiction over all sports. Baron de Cou-
bertin looked into the condition of ath-
letics in England, the United States, Bel
GUM and Germany and concluded that
such a committee would be practical and
eminently advantageous. He next secured
the attendance of prominent promoters OF
athletics at a convention held in Paris
last June. All the great nations except
Germany sent delegates, the athletic In
terestS OF the United States being repre-
scented by Prof. William NJ Sloan of Prince
ton This convention decided upon quad
rennial meetings. The first will be held in
1896 at Athens, the second at Paris in 1900
and the third probably in the United States.
The distinction between an amateur ath-
lete and professional was strictly drawn,
and all money prizes were forbidden. No
professional will be allowed to compate.
The schedule of sports includes rowing and
national sports especially, besides all ath-
letic games of recognized standing.
With the cooperation of the Greek gov
eminent. the American Archaeological So
ciety and all the Greek athletic and gym
nastic clubs, the first meeting at Athens
will undoubtedly be most successful. Be
sides all modern athletic contests, an at
tempt will be made to revive some of the
old sports of the Greeks which are known
to have taken place at the Olympic games
In Ellis. The rowing races to be held
in the famous harbor of PiraeuS, while the
other events will be contested for in places
in ancient Athens, formerly used for this
purpose. The sports of 1900 at Paris will
be held in connection with the great eX-
hibition of that year.
The question of the permanency of these
Olympic contests can only be decided after
the first two have taken place, SO
that some idea can be obtained of the
support given by the different nations to
their representatives. If this should be
but half-hearted, and il only Second-rate
athletes should be sent to the meetings,
the attempt will surely prove a failure.
But if, on the other hand, these sports are
made the great athletic events of every
four years. by the holding of preparatory
contests, their success will be assured
and an intellectually great impetus given
to the Improvement of amateur athletics.
