The Oldest Sport.

Somebody has asked which is the
Oldest sport, and started discussion
that has already put the antiquity of
games beyond the Middle Ages. Hupt-
ing and fighting were primitive man $
chief occupations.
These, as civilization developed,
were 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
mighty hunter before the Lord. :"
and as he was a mighty one in the
EARTH, he probably hunted for pleas
ure. This is the oldest record of 9
sport.
The stag aud its 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
~ sport from the earliest times.
The Egyptian monuments show that
all kinds Of hunting, as we'll as fowl
! ing, were 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.

Life in the Polar Regions.

Some curious details of life in the
polar regions have been obtained from
members Of the Nansen expedition.
They all dwell on the feelings of de-
light which they experienced in once
more meeting other human beings
SO tired did they become Of seeing the
same faces and hearing the same voices
day after day III the course of the
slow drift northward that in the end a
feeling of irritability was produced.
At times this lrritability became we'll
nigh insupportable. Finding 1t almost
impossible to endure the sight of
one another, they would set off on
long walks over the ice, each man by
himself. 1t was an astounding thing,
one man said. to see his comrades
striding away over the ice from the
ship, each IN different direction, and
carefully avoiding his fellows.

Many Horses shoes Invented,

''The patent Office has made many q
dollar out OF inventors" complained
blacksmith. $50 far there have
been nearly y two hundred patents ,s-
sued for horseshoes, observed a
blacksmith. Every ono OF them were
supposed to be of value for the reason
that they could be put on Horses by
bands or clasps. and thus save time
and the expense of horse shoers. Six
thousand dollars, therefore. has H. 81

The Captains Diamonds.

my New England home, and started
tor South America. After undergo
ing many vicissltudes Of fortune, the
tickle goddess .deigned to smile on me
and in ten years found myself one
Of the leading merchants Of Valparaiso.
Meanwhile I fell desperately in love
with Scnorita Inez, the beautiful and
accomplished daughter OF General Ca
banos. n distinguished soldier, who
had won laurels fighting for his conn-
try.
My suit progressed favorably, till
the advent of Don Manuel Hernandez
a young stranger who came from Rio,
bearing with him the highest creden-
tiaIs. Tall, handsome, dashing. and
ncssessed of charming personality,
he seemed the worry man to captivate
maiden's fancy, and I observed with
feelings of ill-concealel jealousy that
Senorita Inez received his attentions
with favor.
One eventful morning General
Cabanoo called at my warerooms. l
escorted him to the private Office, and
there we transacted our business, after
which we lit our cigars and INDUCED
