The cestus, cruel and dangerous
species OF boxing. in which the hands
and arms were furnished with gaunt-
let's, loaded with lead or iron, was re-
nved in Greece in the twenty-third
0Iympiad; but, as the victory in this
game was frequently stained with blood,
IT was never held in much estimation
by the Greeks. who evinced in their
public sports none of the sanguinary
ferocity that characterized the Romans
Damoxenus, a champion Of the cestus,
having slain his adversary under cir
cumstances OF much cruelty and treach-
cry, was not only refused the wreath.
but was driven from the stadium with
every mark Of infamy and indignation,
while his deceased victim was splen-
didly crowned by the judges. The com
batants in this exercise wore headpieces
Of brass for their protection, notwith-
standing which they were often terribly
mutilated. though they might escape
with life and limb.

It is true, both in a positive ana
negative sense, that life is the final test
Of everything. There IL no criticism
that IN the sharpness and tremendous
ness Of judgment Is equal to the criti-
cism Of life. What can stand every as
sault in time and in eternity? The
grandest convictions that we receive
from other people are not constructed
in us by their logic or their philosophy,
OF their Christianity, but they are Gre
sted in US by their personality.

Vampire SuperstitiOns.

The prevailing belief in European
countries was that vampires were the
ghosts Of suicides or others who had
died violent deaths and were forced by
the devil to leave their graves at night
and feed on the blood of men and wO-
men, and any who died at the hands Of
these dreadful creatures also became
vampires. In this way beautiful wom-
en- became vampires and enticed young
men and fed on their blood and flesh.
It was believed that they had power to
assume any shape OF form desired be-
tween sunset and sunrise and that they
committed most of their awful deeds at
midnight. They were pOwerless in the
daytime and were generally in a tor
pid state. Garlic and wild rosebushes
were guards against them, and cruel
fixes were feared by them. To prevent
suicides from becoming vampires they
were buried with a stake driven
through their hearts. and the straw
they had slept on was burned. All the
dogs and cats in the village were locked
up, for If a dog or cat jumped over a
corpse it was sure to become the home
of a vampire.-Chicago Tribune.

The Aberdeen carnival will be
held September 28th to October
3rd, which will be the week
following the Milbank carnival.
The Aberdeen people are ad-
vertising some good attractions
and will endeavor to make a fine
agricultural exhibit. This is
something which has not been
a prominent feature in some
similar celebrations and in these
cases the carnivals have not been
a pronounced success. It has
always been the leading feature
in the carnivals held in Milbank,
and has been the main cause Of
their popularity here. We are
pleased to see that the Aberdeen
committee is working along the
same line.

Two ancient kings were buried IN Sc

siege of Rome. died in Hungary a. ID.
Alb. His soldiers, DESTROYS of giving
their great leader a right royal burial,
inclosed his body first in a casket of
gold, this in one of silver and this III
one of lead and transported it into a
desert. There slaves were selected, and
under the direction of men who were
sworn to secrecy they dug the grave OF
the dead monarch. When this was &C,
complished no traces of the spot were
left. The slaves We're all cruelty slain.
Alaric. king of the Goths, the cele,
brated conQueror of Rome, died when
with his army at Cozenza, south Italy.
1iS mel turned the course III a river,
inferred the body of their sovereign,
with much treasure, in its bed and re-
stored the stream TO its channel.
No man has ever lighted on the rest
ing place of either of these kings, who
in this respect resemble Moses, OF
whom it is written, NO nan knoweth

Oh In Mexico.

One of the strange things about the
churches of Mexico is that none of
them is finished. You may travel from
one end of Mexico to the other and
wherever you go you will find from
one to a half dozen workmen doing
something TO every church. They may
be putting on a spire there or a bit OF
decoration here. but as soon as one
part of the building is apparently com
pleted they go to work on another, and
what is more. there is no likelihood
that the churches will ever be finished
until the laws are changed.
Since the present government came
into power the church of Mexico has
not been allowed to own property. and
such property as it acquired must be
held in the names of individuals and is
subject to taxation. However. no taxes
have to be paid on an unfinished build.
ing, and that is why the churches OF
Mexico are never completed.

MAKING
The Money of the Market Not For
the Man with n Theory.


Fortunes have been made in the Chi
cago board of trade not by men who
entered the market with a preconceived
theory as to it's course, which they at
tempted to make good through thick
and thin, but rather by those who took
things as they came, watching the
drift, shaping their way from day to
Day, like prudent merchants, according
to the current.
This is confusing to the novice, for
the novice almost always comes in
with a p~reconceived theory. Some
time ago a young man with a large
hope, a moderate fortune and consider
able social prestige was shown the
enormous possibilities in December
pork. 1t looked absolutely convincing.
but he called upon a great packer with
whom he had a personal acquaintance.
Yes: the packer thought very well OF
pork-was buying it, in fact. Thus
doubly assured the young man bought.
The market went his way, and he
bought more. Then the market turned.
The young man reviewed his convinc-
ing statistics, remembered the words of
the packer and stood stubbornly upon
his line. When he was getting near to
the end of his margins, he was horri-
fed to learn that his friend the packer
had shifted to the other side Of the
market two weeks before. He visited
him, recalled their conversation and
explained the situation. The packer
stared. "Do you mean you've been
holding $500 barrels Of pork all this
timer he demanded. yes said the
young man, land l have it yet. Now,
what car l do with it?" Il don't
know said the packer, unless you
can eat twill Payne in Century.

A Narrow Escape For One Man.

The Importance Of examining closely
the hair found on weapons was shown
In a case in which a Ratchet having
clotted blood and hair adherent to it
was produced as evidence against a
prisoner suspected of murder in a little
country town. 1t was found Gnder his
bed. This, with other circu0stantial
evidence, had turned public opinion
strongly against the prisoner, but when
the hair was examined by a micro
scopist who CHANGED to be in the court
room it was found not to be human,
but that Of some animal. This circum-
stance led to a more complete sitting
Of the evidence, and the accused was
acquitted. 1t turned out that he had
killed a dog with the Ratchet and had
carelessly thrown the weapon under
the bed. So his life literally hung on a
hair.

A Whistlfng Oyster.

The proprietor of a London chop.
house some years ago made fame and
fortune by the discovery Of a musical
oyster. A distinct whistling sound
came from a newly opened barrel of
oysters. With eagerness he hunted
for the cause and found an oyster
which seemed to amuse itself by
whistling. The innkeeper advertised
1t, and hundreds came daily to his
hostelry to listen to the musical oyster
In due time the oyster died, and its
secret dice with it. 1t is supposed
that the sound was caused by the in.
spiration and expiration of air through
4 tiny hole in the shell. To this day
the inn is known as 1.-The Whistline
