shields were carried. Twenty-Five bra

of Zeus for this purpose.
The races for boys were not revival
of ancient usage, but were instituted by
the people of Ellis because the idea
pleased them. /" These races were over a
shorter course than that for the men, as
We're also the races for young girls. The
races for girls were not portion of the
great Zeas festival, but took place I'M
der the auspices of the goddess Hera on
another occasion. Pausanias thus de-
scribes them: Every fourth year 16
matrons weave a shawl for Hera, and
the same number preside over the games.
And the contest is race for maidens of
various ages. In the first race are the
youngest, and next those slightly older,
and last Of all the eldest. And they all
run with their hair down their back,
short tunic below the knee, and their
right shoulder bare to the breast. They
use in this contest the regular race
course in Olympia, but make it a sixth
part of stade shorter. And the victors
receive crowns of olive and part of the
heifer sacrificed to Hera, and paintings
OF them are made for Hera. And the Is
matrons who preside over the games
have as many landmarks.
Severer and more dangerous, but more
popular, were the contests in wrestling,
boxing and the pancratium. Wrestling,
however, since the days of mythical
Theseus, had ceased to be a contest of
brute force, and had become a trial of
skill Pindar praised the victor Ephar-
mostus as being "deft handed, nimble
limbed, with the light of valor in his
eyes, and Plutarch regarded wrestling
as the most scientific of all the games.
Quiclness Of eye to detect a weakness
in the stand of the opponent, activity
IN the use of arms and body and legs,
and the timely application of muscular
strength brought into play harmony
OF athletic qualities which made the
contest an object of beauty to the plastic
mind of the Greeks. Few were the re.
strlctlons, such as the rules against
striking and biting, Many were the
stratagems which were permitted, such
as choking, squeezing, tripping, clam
bering upon an opponents back, or
breaking his fingers Thrice must an Oh
ponent throw his adversary so that both
shoulders touched the ground before he
could be declared victor, and if we may
judge from the figured representations
the final overthrow was by no means a
gentle act

CONTESTS FOR GLORY
THE OLYMPIC GAMES AMONG THE
ANCIENT GREEKS.

Foot Races, Boxing and Wrestling Were
the Main Features In the Earlier Festi-
vals-Races For Boys and Girls-How
They Were Conducted.
In the April number of Century there
is an article by Professor Allan Mar
quand on 1.-THE Old Olympic Games, I"
aprop0s of the attempt to revive the
festival at Athens. Professor Marquand
says in part:
The foot races were three in number
called respectively the dromos or sta
dions the diaulos, and the doliohos, ac-
cording as the course was traversed
once, twice or number of times. The
dromos was a straightaway dash Of
about 200 yards, or exactly 1872 ~ me-
tiers. A long line of fiagstones, grooved
so as to be firmly gripped by the feet,
was laid at each end of the course. This
permitted the finish for both long and
short races to take place at the same
end of the stadium. Along these flag
stones posts were erected, dividing the
line so that 30 runners might start at
once, for there seems to have been an
all corners race, from which the victors
We're selected to contend on the follow
ing day in groups of four.
The dlaulos was not straightaway
race, but involved a quick turn at the
farther end of the course and a return
to the starting point. The doliohos was
a long race, the length of which is vari-
ously stated as 6, z, 8, 10, 20 and "a
stadia. At the longest this race did not
reach three miles, but the quick turns
and heavy sand made it contest in en-
durance Of quite different character from
running the same distance on a modern
clnder track. Such physical endurance
proved most useful at times, as when
Phidippides sent to notify the Spartans
of the approach Of the Persians, ran from
Athens to Sparta and back (135 miles)
In two days. But all the feats recorded
OF long distance runners in Greece have
been eclipsed by the six days running
and walking matches of modern times.
The military value of speed was recoQ-
nlzed in the Olympic. festival By the
nophtodromos, or race for armed sol
dlers, who ran the length of the course
and back in heavy armor. At first they
seem to have carried the helmet, spear,
shield and greaves. but later the ysse

Mrs. Adds Mooney, mother-in-law
Of Lord Sholto Douglas, says that by the
death of an uncle, Rev. Archibald Doug
las, in London. Sholto will come into
about $3,00O,000. "We received the
good news by cable yesterday" she
said. ut merely announced the death of
Rev. Archibald Douglas and said that
there was money for Sholto, but know
all about it. His uncle was a very
wealthy priest, and Sholto is his sole
heir. Sholto is now in the southern part
of the state, but will be here in few
days. He knows nothing about his good
luck yet. The cablegram came to our
home in Oakland, and Lady Douglas,
who is now with me, opened it. We
will telegraph to Sholto tomorrow. Of
course Sholto and his wife will now
give up the stage. Though they have
made big success, it would be foolish
for them to work when they can live
without working. New York World.

MERRY MEDICINE WAR.
Chicago Druggists to Make Patent CuTa
of Their Own.


A factory for making remedies SINH
lar in nature to the proprietary 1nedi-
cines now on the market is to be started
in Chicago by retail druggists. A large
majority of the pharmacists are inter
ested, and they hope to drive the medi-
cine makers from the field.
The retail druggists have formed the
United States Pharmaceutical company
and have issued stock to the amount of
$40, 900. Almost all of this has been
taken up by prominent pharmacists.
The formation of the company was
the outgrowth of a recommendation
made by the Illinois Pharmacists asso-
citation. The members Of that associa-
tion said that nothing could be done to
check the cutting in prices, and that
druggists must enter the field as manu-
facturers. AS a result 800 of the retail
ers Of Chicago met and formed com
pany. In two weeks more than 900 Chi
cage names have been added to those of
toe organizers, and from the state at
large 100 more have come.
Their object is to fight in practical
way the cutting of prices of drugs and
medicines handled by department stores
and to combat at the same time the sale
OF medicines by the manufacturers and
wholesale dealers to these stores.
Hereafter when a person wants dose
to cure a headache and asks for the
remedy usually taken the druggist will
advise him to take something not only
just as good, :" but scientifically better,
because it has been compounded by a
committee of physicians and druggists
OF the highest reputation. The same
thing will be told the man who wants a
blood purifier or plaster.

America. Live stock N England.

Il
We believe few English farmers
have any adequate conception of the
rapidity and enormous expansion with
which live stock imports from foreign
countries and the colonies, alike In cat
tie, sheep and horses, are rapidly de-
veloping themselves. If the Americans
and Canadians are baked in one par
ticular import of live stock, they read
i lily take to another. Since being for
Dldden to send any cattle to this coun-
Try except for purposes of slaughter,
they have taken to fitting out monster
steamboats, to bring fat beasts hither
alive In large numbers, and the Austria
lians are following suit by straining
every effort to make the same kind of
trading successful. But not satisfied
with this, both Americans and Cana
dlans are turning their attention to the
imports Of horses and sheep, and we
propose very briefly to point out how
enormously the imports of both have
increased in the past year, and are still
increasing. The total number Of horses
imported in the ten months of 1895,
ended October 81, was 29,62S, valued
at f7S7, ,465, compared with 19,764 i'm
ported in the corresponding ten months
OF 1884, valued at f462. .999. All of them
old not come from the two countries
1T is true, but by far the majority
did. For instance, 1879 were mares, of
which 1868 were from the United
States and 3,1O6 from Canada. The
geldings were 1891, of which $500
were American and 7,1S7 Canadian.
Perhaps 1t may be said this expansion
OF the import trade in horsefiesh has
not yet affected our home breeding so
as to make good market geldings very
cheap, nor even the best descriptions of
hunters and carriage horses; and We
all know that for the very highest class
OF pedigree Shire horses there have
peen grand prices during the past year.
But when We look at the vast areas of
prairie and rich agricultural lands still
TO be occupied in the United States
and the Canadian Dominion, and the
shrewdness and enterprise Of farmers
IN those countries in whatever kinds of
STOCK they can find market for in this
country, we greatly apprehend that it
Will be found ultimately that they can
produce and send us all kinds of equine
animals at lower prices than they can
be remuneratively raised on the over
taxed and high-rented farms of great
Britain.-Mark Lane Express.

Words. NY Lord.

1t is generally recognized that the
number of words used in our daily life
is very small. Perhaps not more than
two or three thousand in all are in
common use. OF course, there are
some few people like dictionary makers
who know more, but the average man
gets along very comfortably on that
limited supply. 1t is only when flow
cry writer's undertake to describe the
indescribable that new words have to
be invented to tell what they think
they see. The man who comes homo
late, and whose wife talks to him fo.-
two hours in whisper, to keep from
waking the baby, believes that there
are many more words in use than is
generally supposed, and that there is
no earthly use in adding any more to
the visible supply. 1t is only when he
begins to tell lies that he wishes for
more and strange words that he knows
cannot be recalled. As q matter Of
fact, it takes but very few words for a
man to tell all he knows.
