Golf Under Difficulties.

Golf is played at Buluwayo under
somewhat difficult conditions. Balls, if
lost, cannot be replaced easily, and not
only have ''caGdies" to keep their eyes
wide open when a stroke is made, but
the player must have on the ball

scrub u which q native may be lurking.
Asllght squint uadert these circumstances
would seem to be "a advantage rather
than otherwise. The native does not
want to assegai the player, but only
to get possession Of the ball. Having
secured that and got away, he will
have holes pierced through the ball SO
that he may string it as the most prem
lnent gem among the beads Of his neck
lace for full dress, and thus adorned he
Will strut as proudly as if that golf ball

A Man with = Visible Heart

One Of the most remarkable OF all
human phenomena of which we find
records in the history Of physical science
was a young man whose heart and lungs
We're not only visible, but could be
handled by a second person.
This young man was the son OF the
family Of Montgomery and lived in the
reign of Charles I. While travelling
abroad he met with a very serious acct
dent. falling upon some instrument
which pierced his side and left q large
open wound. Even when the wound had
healed the cavity remained.
The great Harvey, who discovered
this remarkable youth, relates in Il ct
his journals the strange story.
"When I paid my respects to this 40
bic youth and conveyed to him tho
kings request that / should DO allowed
to examine him." wrote Harvey, she
made no concealment. but exposed the
left side Of his breast, when / saw a
cavity into which / could introduce my
finger and thumb. Astonished with the
novelty. again and again I explored the
wound. and first. marveling at the ex-
traordinary nature Of the cure, set about
the examination of the heart. Taking it
in the fingers Of one hand, and placing
the fingers Of the other upon the palse OF
the wrist, / satisfied myself that it was
indeed the heart which / grasped. then
brought him before the king that he
might behold aud touch 30 extraordinary
a thing, and that he might perceive, as
! did, that unless we touched the outer
skin. Or when he saw our fingers in the
cavity, this young nobleman knew not
that we had touched his heart"
It was in this way that Harvey proved
his theory OF the insensibility Of the
heart to be correct. -Pearsou's Weekly,

Schools Under the First Empire-

The pupils OF the primary schools felt

OF their education, combined with their

They entered by government examina-
tons. All their letters passed through
the head master hands. They were put
under a threefold system Of espionage

were paid by the state. The punish

Short History Of the Ballet.

Like all dancing, the root Of the bal
let is to be found in prehistoric times,
but Italy was the home where its
growth became coincident with the
development Of the opera. With the
Medici it vas imported into France,
and fourished as q court entertainment
under Catherine de- Medici. Az the bal
let increased in popularity it was grad
ually associated with the libretto Of q
great poet and the music Of a great mu-
sician. and it used to be put on the
stage by some noble patron Of the arts.
Princes Of the royal blood frequently
took part in the performance-Louis
XIII, to wit, and Henri Nv, who had
a special dancing room built in the
arsenal. Even LIE Roi Soleil did not
dream it beneath his dignity to imper-
senate various characters in the ballet
until be was prevented by his growing
corpulence. ~
Gaetan Vestris, who styled himself
IN Provencal dialect 'le diou de Ia
danse, brought the ballet to its perfec-
ton, and when age disabled him his
son ARguste was a worthy successor.
Mile. Canary danced with the father,
while Madeleine Guimard, the protect
ress OF David the painter, was a con-
temporary Of the son. This century was
q quarter gone before the golden age of
the ballet in London. Great things,
however, were done at Her Maiesty's
theater in early Victorian days. "Gi-
selle" was the united work Of Heine,
Iheopnlle Gautier and Adolphe Adam,
and tae premiere danseuse was Carlotta
Grlsl. She was succeeded by Fanny
Elssler and Taglioni, who was immor-
ta1'zed by Thackeray, and was alive not
many years ago.-Saturday Review.
