THE NEW oLYMPIAN GAMns

In the North American Review for
terestingly upon the work which has
been done there in preparation for the
new Olympian games. The rebuilding
of the Parthenaic Stadium, where
the games were held until their aboli-
ton fifteen hundred and three years
ago, has been rendered possible by
the generosity of wealthy Greek, of
Alexandria. Among the men who have
been prominent in the revival of this
ancient festival are the Crown Prince
Constantine, Baron de Couberlin of
France, Prof. Sloane, of Princeton;
Demetrius Blkelas, Greek author,
and the United STATES minister
to Greece, Mr.. Alexander. The
games will be held from April
to 10, of this year, and the
programme will include contests in
the essentially modern sports, as well
as in those belonging to all time Ath-
letic clubs of all countries have ar
ranged to send representatives, and
the attendance is expected to be inn
mense. The victors wreaths will be
silver crowns, made in imitation Of the
ancient wreaths of wild olive, and will
be placed upon the heads of the sue
cessful contestants by King George.
The revival of this honored festival
of antiquity with more than the an
cient splendor and with an attend
ance from the four quarters Of earth is
not only an interesting, but also a
significant occurrence
The games were abolished in 393 by
the Emperor Theodosius, because Of
the pagan ceremonies and offerings by
which they had always been accom-
panied. The association Of such sports
with paganism was perhaps inevitable
to the minds of that period, and with
the passage of years athletics were
destined to lose their prestige more and
more in the eyes of the worlds think
ers. With primitive lack of logic,
those of our far forefathers who gave
any attention to the things of the
mind and soul, neglected or despised
the body The cultivation Of the latter
excluded the former. So, ultimately,
the vigor with which the flesh was
scourged became the measure of spir-
ituality; and long after the world had
begun to throw off medieval ideas,
this particular superstition fingered on
a n
the Puritan ideas, and we can trace
it's subtle influence even in our own
century In thousand prejudices and
customs. The proverbial Indifference
Of the scholar to athletics is one of
the forms taken by this inherited con-
tempt Of the mind for the body, and
1t is only in these last days of all that
the bicycle has completed the conquest
lawn tennis began, and the thinker
has become thoroughly convinced
OF the necessity of physical ex-
ercise for mental health. Grad
ually again after more than a
thousand years, men Of brains are be-
coming men Of Drawn, and the mind
acknowledge its unity with the body.
Probably the world never saw in all
Its hoary years SO much intelligent
interest in the subject of the effect of
physical exercise on mind as we'll as
body as was exhibited last summer by
the thousands of converts to the wheel,
and there is therefore something pc
culiarly satisfactory and appropriate
in the fact that this year witnesses the
revival Of the Olympian games upon a
oasis as much broader than their first
foundation as the New World is wider
than the Old.

An Englisfropinion.

London Financial News: " There
is plain moral In the remark that
II the United state would venture to
cut herself adrift from Europe and
take outright to silver she would
have all America and Asia at her
back and the command OF the markets
of both countries. The barrier Of
gold would be norc fatal than any
barrier oi a custom house. The bond
of free trade. There can be no doubt
about 1t that IL the United state
were to adopt a silver basis tomorrow
British trade would be ruined before
the year was cut. Every American
would be protected, not only at home,
but in every other market. OF course
the United State would suffer to a
certain extent through having to pay
her obligations abroad in gold, but
the loss OF exchange under this head
would be mere drop in the bucket
as compared to the profit to be reaped
from the markets of South America
and Asia, to say nothing Of Europe.
The marvel is that the United State
have not long ago seized the opportu-
nifty. 1t has been II piece of luck that
it has'never ACQUIRED to the Amer
leans to scoop us out Of the worlds
markets by going on silver basis,
and IL might serve us right II, irrita-
tee by the contemplate policy of our
government toward the silver problem

She said as she lowered her eyes.
Outside was the roar of the street
The flutter Of leaves at the door;
Inside the hush solemn and sweet
The afternoon service was DER.
They fingered little apart
IT was Lent and the two were alone.
Love lay like a kiss on each heart
And life and the world We're their
own.

He bent with a courtier grace,
| His heart throbbing faster; and then
He said, dearest, can it be true?"
| His voice had it's passionate charms;
He bent lower over the pew
He smilingly opened his arms.
: Hush! Wait, dearest rector; don't
tease.
Yours might be an excellent plan.
But want you to marry me, please,
