Throwing the Discus.

Discus-throwing was a later and
more refined form of hurting the stone.
In Homeric times, and even at Olympia,
a stone or mass of iron was first used
for the purpose. This was held by a
leathern throng, swung in a circle,
and hurled as far as possible. A cir
cular or lenticular disk of bronze was
used at least as early as the beginning
of the fifth century. A standard weight
must, of course, be assumed for the
great games. A discus now in the
British museum. which seems to have
been used, weighs IL pounds ounces;
but whether this was the standard
weight or not is not definitely known.
The thrower took his stand upon a
slight elevation Of limited circumfer-
ence, where he could have secure
foothold, and was prevented from run
ming; then, with swing of the arm
and a corresponding movement of the
whole body, he hurled the discus as far
as possible. The value of the body
movement was recognized by the sculp-
tor Myorn in his famous statue 1.-The
Discobolus," and is understood by the
modern athlete when he swings the
hammer, or even when he makes a
drive at golf. AS for records at discus
throwing, Phayllus, again, is said to
have thrown the discus 95 feet Prof.

she asked of fellow-passenger,
thrusting her ticket in his face. The
affable man put on his spectacles.
''Latimer road, ma'am! Seven sta

grunted incredulously. Some minutes
passed, during which the old lady

of stoppages. Then she reused her.
self and addressed the same question
to another passenger. ''Four stations
on" muttered this one briefly. The
Irish dame smiled bitterly, but kept
her own counsel for awhile. Then she
suddenly turned upon traveller of her
own sex Nov will you tell me,
ma'am, how far am Oh from this sta
tion?' Its the next station of ALL"
said the other, smilinglv. The Irish
woman cast around glance of indig-
nant scorn. AN which of yez am Oh

A story is told of a young American
couple who took in Monte Carlo in
their wedding-tour. The pair had not
been there three hours when Edwin

gelina had become a confirmed gam
bier. Nothing could tear her away
from the tables. When he refused to
supply further funds. the lady prompt

Jewels in her trousseau. Moreover,
she became intimately acquainted
with some of the bon arobas who fre-
quent the tables, and whose acquaint-
ance is anything but desirable for n
bride. She cultivated them for the
purpose of learning their Systems"
by which she hoped to win a vast for
tune. But Edwin noticed that they
generally borrowed 100 francs from
his bride after having eXpounded their
systems" and that they always for
got to repay these loans. Such was
the rancor engendered by the quarrels
between the young couple that finally
it came to an open fight, and the
young lady decorated her husbands
face with number of long scratches
This may seem preposterous to those
who have not been to Monte Carlo,

A MAJORITY of the memb ers of the
house of representatives, the Phila-
delphia Press says, seem to be impressed
by the arguments in favor of the
metric system, but when it appeared
that they were strong enough to pass
the metric bill they became afraid and
began to vote the other way. Pounds
which vary in weight and bushels and
quarts which vary in size are admitted
evils, but the people have been getting
along with them for SO many centuries
and the metric system is SO foreign to
them that they prefer TO bear the ills
Of unequal measures and weights rather
than adopt an unfamiliar system.
