horse races and the pancratium (6lS B. c.;
also the following contests for boys: Foot
races and wrestling (632 b. CD the pom

ca. These heavy contests mark this CEN
tury as one which set special value upon
muscular force and endurance.
In the sixth century were introduced the
hoplitodromos, or warriors race (520 b.
C.), and tho soon abandoned chariot race
with mules 600 y. CT; in tho nth, tho
races for mares (i96 y. O., and for two

What This Important Food Is Made OF In
Different Countries.

biuerent Countries.
In England and America wheat bread
Is within the reach Of all, and scarcely
Is thought given to the fact that Only
small portion Of the earth's inhabit-
ants enjoy it. 1t is only during tho last
century that wheat bread has como into
common use. A hundred years ago
wealthy families in England used only
peck of wheat a year and that at
Christmas, eating oat cakes during the
remainder Of tho time.
The German "pumpernickel" is
rye bread with a curious, sour taste, but
after eating it awhile one acquires quite
a taste for IL. 1t is less nutritious than
that OF wheat. In tho poorer parts of
Sweden the people bake their rye bread
only twice year and store it away, so
that eventually it is as hard as bricks.
Farther north still barley and oats be-
come the chief bread corn. But in tho
distinct north is where man is put to
thought to provide himself with bread.
In Lapland il man trusted TO grain he
would starve, so the people exc out
their scanty store Of oats with the inner
bark Of the pine, and after grinding this
mixture 1t is made into large fiat cakes,
which, after oil, are not half bad.
In dreary Kamchatka tho pine or
birch bark by itself, well ground, pound
ed and baked, constitutes the whole of
the native bread food Bread and butter
is represented by dough of pine bari;
spread with seal fat. In certain parts of
Siberia the people not only grind the
pine bark, but cut off the tender shoots,
which procedure must give the bread an
unpleasantly resinous flavor.
In Iceland the lichen is scraped off the
rock, made into bread buildings and put
into soup. In Russia and China buck
wheat is pressed into service. 1t make;
a palatable bread, though of dark vic
let tinge.
In Italy and Spain chestnuts are cook
ed, ground into meal and used for bread
and soup thickening. Millet furnishes {
white bread in Arabia. Egypt and India
This grain is credited with being thu
very first used in breadinaking
Rice bread is still the staple food o.
the Chinese, japanese and Indians.
In the Indian archipelago the starchy
pith of the sage palm is made into bread
and in parts of Africa tho natives use
certain root for the same purpose.

The Word Bike.

Henceforth the word "bike" may be
regarded as having place in the
queen English. Her majesty in Great
Britain has conferred the title OF SER
eeant bikeman ON young footman OF
the royal stables who made himself in
dispensable to princes and princesses in
their struggles to master the bicycle.
He is permitted to wear q coat OF
scarlet and gold, with the chevrons OF a
sergeant. together with buckskin breech-
es, topboots, a silk hat adorned with a
gold band and a cockade. If bikeman is
a good word, so is bike, and so is the
verb to bike in all its forms, and IL the
queen is not an authority as 80 tie
queens English is 1t disrespectful to
ask who is?-New York Ledger.

To MAKE q Good Cur Of Tea.

A young man who was being joked
about the appearance Of tho young lady
he was going TO marry said in an apollo
getic way, well, she can make good
cup of tea anyhow. This is a qualifica-
tion that not many girls possess. Very
few know how to make good cup OF
tea. Here are some pointers: Tea should
never touch metal. 1t should be kept in
paper, wood, glass or porcelain. To
mako it, put small quantity in
porcelain cup, ill the latter with boil
ing water, cover it with porcelain
saucer and let it stand three minutes.
Then, if you desire to be an epicure,
drink only the upper layer of the gold
en- liquid, throw tho rest away, rinse
the cup and begin again. Never use sug-
ar. Do not use milk. Itruins the flavor
Of tho tea, and the combination Injuries
the stomach, so the Chinese say, and
they ought to know their own beverage.
Above all things, do not boil tho tea.

She looked at him with tear brimmed eyes,
Her tight closed hnnd no motion shaped,
No word her suSling lips escaped.
His eyes were bright, his voice was clear;
"He only said, II love you, deari"
Her eyes were deep with anger's hue.
They saftoncd into tender blue.
The naughty curve her lip forsook.
Fer hand lay open on her book.

Aua siid again, ~ love you, dearl"
Where sweet love dwells wrath cannot stay;
Her smiles chased all the tears away.
She looked al him: "Ah, do not fear.

His smile replied, "Our hearts are near"
His words were still, 81 love you. dearl"
All, when the fire OF anger burns
And all LIES sweet to bitter turns,
When eyes are flashing, lips close set,

Then happy we If Greatheart near

A Relic of Past Ages

Mr.. Milt Philippi tell us that while
sinking shaft for coal near town a few
days ago, a blast threw up the petrified
head and about five feet of what was once
an enormous living snake, probably some
species of water snake that inhabited the
seas that covered this portion of the conti-
nent no one knows how many thousand
years ago. Mr. PhilliDpi says that the
head of the huge reptile is as large as
mans head, and the portions of its body
recovered are as thick as the leg of an or
diuaTy ADULT person. Unfortunately the
specimen was broken in several pieces. 1t
will be hauled to town shortly for exhibi-
tion, and probably later on sent to the
Smithsonian Institute or the Carnegie
Museum at Pittsburg, TO be placed per-
manently among the collections of its kind
at one of these epOsitories.-SO Somerset
