The Oldest Sport.

Somebody has asked which is the
oldest sport, and started q discussion
that has already put the antiquity Of
games beyond the Middle Ages. Hunt
ing aud fighting we're primitive mans
chief occupations.
These, us civilization developed,
we're gradually converted from being
means of livelihood into pastimes. But
it is impossible to. tell exactly when
the change took place, for it is not
even yet complete, and what is sport
to the squire and amateur is necessary
work to the gamekeeper and profess
sional soldier.
Nimrod, Noah's great grandson, was
a mighty hunter before the Lord, :"
aud as lie was q mighty one in the
earth, " he probably hunted for pleas
ure. This is the oldest record of q
sport
The stag aud it's kind, which make
the greatest demand on the skill and
endurance of the hunter, would prob
ably be the first animals pursued for
pleasure. To hunt the lion was king
ly sport from the earliest times.
The Egyptian monuments show that
all kinds of hunting, as we'll as fowl
ing, we're followed for pleasure. The
Olympic games were probably the
Oldest athletic sports, and their origin
is lost in antiquity. They are said to
celebrate Jupiter's defeat of the Tit
ans. New York Journal.

food for Soldiers.

An officer of the United States
Army has recently complied some in
teresting figures on the food allow
ances made to the soldiery OF different
nations, and argues that the better
the rations, it naturally follows, the
better the fighters
For instance, the case of the victo-
rious Japs in the recent Chinese-Jap-
anese war is cited. The Chinese
troops subsisted on rice, together with
what they could pilfer, while the jap
anese soldiers had rice, timed and
fresh meats, fish and vegetables. The
meat allowance of Japanese soldier
is seven ounces. The Russian standard
is 16 ounces, the English -, the
Italian IL, French, Belgian, Turkish
and German 8; Austrian and Spanish
8. The allowance to the soldiers OF
the United States is higher than any
of the others, and is twenty ounces.
The daily allowance of bread .il
highest among the Austrian troops,
who receive thirty-two ounces and the
lowest is the English army, where
each man is allowed sixteen ounces.
In the United States Army, the French
Army and the Italian Army the allow
ance is twenty-five ounces In the
German Army it is twenty-eight; il
the Russian seventeen. All modern
soldiers, except the Russiane, have
daily allowance Of rice. The Ameri
can is the only one III the commissar
lat of which beans are an article Of
diet. New York Journal.
