The Missing Link.

The party of scientists and anti
quarians who were exploring the
Rocky Mountains in the spring of the
year 2000, mounted on their new 100
model bikes, suddenly heard loud
cry of triumph from the lips of Pro-
fessor Rubbertire, of the Smithsonian
Institution, who was some distance

fastening forward they found the
professor standing by the side of the
moldering remains of a wagon. In
front of the decaying fragments lay
the petrified remains of four extinct
animals.
"See" said the professor, pointing
to the animal to the right, nearest the
wagon, 1--WE have found the rlissing

Now that the United States has col.

How the Empress Paid Her Rent.

While travelling in Spain some fif-
teen years ago the writer was enter
tanned at dinner in Jerez by an Eng
lishman who was the owner of a fine
hunting estate on the south coast of
Spain, where he usually spent the
summer months. In the spring of
1882 the Austrian Consul called on
Mr.. D and said that his mistress,
the Empress Elizabeth, understand
ing that he proposed spending the
season in England, greatly desired to
rent his place.
Mr.. D. said he would not rent
his place to any one, but he would
feel highly honored if Her Majesty
would occupy it for the summer.
When he returned with his family
in the autumn his wife received note
from the Empress, saying that she
would pass through iJerez ON certain
day and desired to breakfast with her.
Her Majesty expressed her indebted.
ness for delightful summer, and
urged that she be allowed to make
some compensation for the place, but
the offer was gracefully refused. At
length the Empress said:
Is there nothing 1 can do to show
my appreciation of your kindness and
courtesy?"
"Well," replied Mr.. D., ''if on
Your Majestys return to Vienna you
will send me small photograph with
your autograph, [ shall be pleased to
possess it,.
Several months passed without the
appearance of the promised portrait,
and both Mr.. and Mrs. D. rather
unwillingly arrived at the conclusion
that the illustrious lady had entirely
forgotten them and her promise.

box arrived, containing finely framed

WONDERS OF PHYSICAL TRAINING.
A Pow erful Athlete Made Simply by
breathing Exercises.

breathing EXERCISES.
Hugo Pruessing, one of the best
known athletes of Milwaukee, is a
wonderful exanple'of muscular devel-
opment produced by breathing exer-
cises.
Two years ago he was narrow chested,
stoop shouldered, consumptive. 1t
was predicted that he could not live Il
year. Hearing of the treatment of a
Washington physician, who required
his patients to undergo a regular sys-
tenn of breathing exercises, Pruessing
determined to try it. The results have
been truly astonishing.
At the outset he weighed 10 pounds,
measured 33t inches around the chest,
with an expansion of inches. To-day
he weighs $50 pounds, measures 3S
inches around the chest when normal,
43 expanded and "a empty. His lower
chest is 2S1 inches normal and 35 ex.
panded.
The extraordinary muscles under
his arms are those possessed by few
other athletes in the country except
Sandow. 1t will be remembered that
Sandow, by similar treatment, built
himself up to his present marvellous
strength.
The breathing exercises are largely
matter of will. He commenced
breathing with the upper chest. The
ordinary method moves the shoulders
and uses involuntary muscles instead
of the voluntary ones. Pruessing's
method of training keeps the chest
raised and gives longer range to the
diaphragm, After the shoulder move
ment upper chest breathing is prac.
tised, and then abdominal breathing
then the lower chest breathing, the
effect of it all being to build up the
chest, shoulders and diaphragm most
notably.

The intensity of application with
which the mind follows whatever it
lays hold of in literary pursuits is ex-
emplified in the case of Robert Aims
worth, celebrated writer and anti.
quarian Of the seventeenth century.
He had been for years engaged in a
voluminous Latin dictionary, and
while fascinated with this heroic work
gave so little time and attention to his
wife that he incurred her bitterest
jealousy, and before the work was quite
complete she committed the whole to
the flames, Instead of abandoning
himself to despair, Ainsworth set to
work and rewrote it, accomplishing the
entire work in time. The same bitter
disappointment was endured with SINH.
lar heroism by Carlyle when the MS.
of his Frederick the Great was de.
stroyed by fire.

! GOOD ROADS NOTES,


Effects of Bad Country Roads.
The pathway of life may be rugged and
steep,
But the road through the country is
sleeper;
The pitfalls and snares that beset us are
deep,
But the mud that surrounds us is deeper.
There are fence rails for bridges and mud
holes for drains.
And hard heads and boulders for gravel
And broken down buggies on hillsides ana
plains
Give warnings, like ghosts, as we travel
Lank horses, by work and abuse broken
down,
Gaze at us from roadside and stable:
ioung men reaching wistfully out toward
the town,
Or seeking its portals when able.
D eserted farmhousss, the fences decayed.
And the breezes through seed patches
blowing;
Where once happy children reioiced nc
they played
Hide and seek when the field corn was
growing.
What joy for the youth as his longings ex-
pand,
In life so restricted and narrow;
His prospects, mid all opportunities grand.
But to follow the plow and the harrow.
Half banished from hope, and shut out
from the world
By a iiimsy but tangible curtain;
Society's pleasure away from him hurled
The roads are''so very uncertain"
There's little enjoyment in life scattered
round,
And little of profit or pleasure,
In roads where the bottom can scarcely be
found
With less than seven-foot measure.
Let US seek some reform, then, at once, ere
we lose
All trace of our roads from our annals,
Aud make surface roads that the public
can use,
Or else take the Underground channels.

Manners in the Field,

There is some occult influence which
frequently causes well-bred and we'll.
intentioned people to forget their
breeding and their manners directly
they have gun in hand and find them
selves on another persons land look
ing for game. Yet there is surely
nothing inherent in taste for field
sports which involves such disregard of
others. On the contrary, as is de-
monstrated by shining examples in
great multitude, there are sportsmen
who show themselves in the field as
at home and everywhere thoughtful of
their fellow-men, and whose pleasant
fellowship is sought not only by the
companion with whom they go shoot
ing, but by the residents among whom
they shoot, and to whose courtesy
they are indebted for their opportuni-
ties Of sport. Every shooter who thus
treats landowner as he would be
treated in turn by him will have no
difficulty in finding in this country to-
day an abundance of good shooting.
Even ii he shall at first be warned off
and debarred by trespass notices, he
has to thank for this, in all probability,
the gunners who have preceded him,
and who have made their invasion of
the fields so intolerable that they have
put brand and stigma upon all of
the craft. Forest and Stream.

ENGLAND A CENTURY AGO.
Those "Good Old Times Were FearfulIy
Wicked and Benighted.

The pessimist, regarding only the
iniquities and injustices of the present
day, has only to turn back one hun
dred years to find that the world reai-
ly does move on, that our to-morrows
will surely be brighter than the yes
terdays. A writer in Chambers Jour-
nal says of zone Hundred Years Ago
III England" England was at war with
France. To furnish food for powder
the recruiting sergeant was assisted
by the pre- gang. In 1898 Nelson
won the battle of the Nile and broke
the ocean power of Napoleon. The
land campaign of Wellington had freed
the Peninsula. But the slave trade in
our colonies fourished. The printing
machine was mere hand-press. There
were no cabs or omnibuses. Steam
locomotion belonged to thirty years
after date.
There was no voting by ballot
Pocket boroughs fourished; political
debauchery was rampant. There was
no police force. Superstition reigned
supreme; every village had its ''wise
woman" and fortune-teler. Duels
RACES at sea. Men were executed for
high treason, forgery and horse steal
ing. Hanging, drawing and quarter
ing were the cherished punishments
of the criminal code. The hemp crop
was the most fourishins and fruitful
of harvests. The gibbet post cast its
baneful shadow over the land. Public
executions were popular odtdoor en-
tertainment provided by the State for
the edification of the people. Suicides
were buried without the offices of re-
ligion at the meeting of four cross
roads, with stake through their
hearts.
Women were openly Aogged. There
was public brand for scolds. Whip
ping posts and stocks were prominent
in every town and village. Women
were placed in the pillory and pelted
by the populace with rotten eggs, pu-
trid vegetables and the like. Fl0g.
ging was of frequent occurrence in the
army; deserters were incontinently
shot; seamen were summarily hanged
at the yardarm for mutiny. Even
penny newsrooms had their persecu-
tions and martyrs. On the 9th of Sep
tember, 1898, six informations were
heard before the magistrates at Bow
street and laid by the stamp Office
against Mr.. Williams for suffering
in his room in Old Round court sun
dry persons to read the Daily Adver-
tiser and other newspapers for the
consideration of one penny each. The
offense being held to be clearly made
out, the infamous Williams was con-
victed in the penalty of e5 on each in
formation.
