AthI~tics and Work.

Athletics are nothing but a spurious substitute for the manual and bodily labor which our athletic amateurs are forbidden to perform by the lazineaa, greed. snobbory and rapacity of their class. I could keep myself in perfectly good condition and temper if l might do a couple of hours work every day as navvy without "doing a poor man out of his job" As it is, I have to weary myself and waste my energy in bicycling and walking 10 places where I have no business, over roads which I have tramped until I am tired of them. have 10 drudge through "er- ercises" to keep myeelf from becoming a human pig. I have even pulled at india rubber ropes until could not bear the revolting absurdity of it, even without m audience to laugh at me. The whole business is too sickcning for public discussion. Half the popula. ton lives miserably and breaks down prematurely from excess of bodily toll. The other half does the same because there is no bodily work left for it to do. That Is what is called civiliHa. tion.-George Bernard Shaw in London News

Mary, queen of soos..

Beautiful she may not have been. though Nj. de Brantome would never allow it; but fine, fine she was all over sharply, exquisitely cut and modelled; her sweet smooth chin, her amorous lips, bright red where all else was pale us a tinged rose; her sensitive nose, her broad, high brows, her neck which two hands could hold, her small shoulders and boeom of a child. And then her hands, her waist no bigger than stalk. her little feetl She had sometimes an intent, considering. wise look-the look of the Queen of Desire, who knew not where to set the bounds of her need. but revealed to no one what that was. And belying that look askance of hers -siy or wise or sleepy, aa you choose her voice was bold and very clear, her manners were those of lively, grace. ful boy, her gestures quick, her spirit impatient and entirely without fear. At this hour she was nineteen years old and not two months a widow From "The Queens QuRire."

 This line extends north and south, bisectlng the maneuver zone about midway of its length. Tho northern half of General Bells defense line ia composed of infantry and artillery. General Grant opposed this force in the extreme north early fin the day, but with no success After Ave companies of the blue army had been ruled on the field for attacking in the open a strong concealed defense hostilities ceased for nearly three hours. During this time General Grant swung the bulk of his infantry and artillery to she south in m effort to flank General Bells line of infantry on the right General Bell, however, learned of the movements of his adversary and rushed up his reserves to the threat ened point

stale Breaa.

It is generally supposed that the stnlcness of bread arises from its be- coming actually drier by the gradual loss of water, but this is not the case. Stale bread contains almost ex- actly the same proportion of water as new bread after it has become com plotely cold. The change is merely in the internal arrangements of the mole cules of the bread. A proof of this is that if we put stale loaf Into a close ly covered tin, expose it for half an hour or an hour to d heat not exccedins that of boiling water and then allow it to cool, it will be restored in appear ance and properties to the state of the n1w brvad.
