THE ART OF BOXING.
Histic Combats Were Highly Esteem.
ed In Ancient Times.

Ristic Combats Were Highly Esteem-
ed In Ancient Times.
Pugilism, the practice of boxing or
lighting with the fists. was manly art
and exercise highly esteemed among
the ancients. In those days the hands
Of the pugilist were armed with the
cestus, leather thongs loaded with
lead or iron. This form Of athletic
sport was at first only permitted to
freemen among the Greeks, but grad
ually it was taken up as profession
and lost much Of it's prestige.
AS an illustration of it's early use we
find in virgirs fifth Eneid the record
Of a match between Dares, with MINI
BILE feet and confident in YOUTH" and
Entellus, the veteran champion, "strong
and weighty limbed," when the COM
batants-
Their arms uplift in air, their heads with
draw
Back from the blows, and. mingling hand
with hand,
Provoke the conflict.
Pugilism has been typical English
sport from the days Of King Alfred,
but it's golden age as profession dates
from the accession Of the house of
Hanover.-London Standard.

Phil Mays Habits.

The all night, and next day habits of
Phil May, the artist, have furnished
material for many a story. Joe Tapley,
the singer, said that he came across
May one night and heard that the lat
ter had not been to bed for four nights
Ind days. He demonstrated, and May
said: 'Never mind. Joe; We'll make
bargain. Don't you lose any sleep on
my account, and I promise that as soon
as feel tired I'll so to bed!'

SOME OF MIR. BRYAN's SAYINGS.


"a mans estimate of himself and that which
other people have of him are often very different.
In fact, the ratio is sometimes greater than 16 to
l between them"
ga citizen in the South approached me and
urged that | should cease agitating. You should
pour oil upon the troubled waters said he. When
l investigated his oil, l found it was Standard
OIL"
"a youn" woman with millions that she had
nothing to do with earning, will marry a foreign
nObleman with a title that he did not earn, and
each considers that a fair exchange has been
made. And they call that marriage"
"a lady who wanted some calico with which to
dye eggs, went to a large dry goods store to get it.
She asked the clerk, Are you sure this will fade 2
1t will certainly fade, madam The proprietor
who passed just then overheard the clerks answer,
and corrected him: You are mistaken, it is war
ranted not to fade But she wants it for that
purpose said the clerk"
Il do not wish to see the flag of the United
States feared, as do the advocates of a large navy;
/ want to see it loved and welcomed everywhere"
"The desire to get something for nothing is one
that needs to be curbed, especially among the
young men. We should rather to strive to be sure
that we have done enough work to earn an honest
dollar, than to see how many dollars we can get
without earning them"

the materialists than to believe in the doctrines
of any church on earth"

Once Was Enough.

Nearly every man who knows Mr.. Russell Sage
can tell a story about some kind of a financial
transaction of his; but the stories in which Mr..
Sage puts down a cent and takes up anything less,
are rare. This story is one of disappointment.
One day, a young man of Mr.. Sage's acquain-
tance-in fact, the grandson of an old friend of
other days-approached him on the subject of a
loan of ten dollars for two weeks and-got it. He
promised faithfully to return the money at a
stated hour, and the promise was as faithfully
kept. Mr.. Sage had very little to say when he
gave up the ten, and quite as little when he got
it back.
A week or ten days later, the young man came
to see him again, and this time asked him for a
hundred dollars, making all sorts of representa-
tions of what he would do with it. Mr.. Sage re-
fused to ante. The young man was surprised, not
to say panied.
"Why," he exclaimed, "you know I'll pay it all
right. Didn't | say I'd have that ten for YOU on
Monday, and wasn't I there to the minute with
it?"
Mr.. Sage beamed softly on the grandson of his
old friend.
"My boy" he said, with no trace of unkindness
in his tone, you disappointed me once and I don't
want you to do it again"
Il beg your pardon, I did not" argued the
youth. II said / would pay you back and I did"

HOW MUCH FOOD TO EAT.
Smallest Amount, According to this Rule, That Will
Preserve Health.

How shall one determine, then, how much food
to eat? Too much mystery has been thrown about
this subject. Let your sensations decide. 1t must
be kept in mind that the entire function of diges-
ton and assimilation is carried on without con-
scious supervision or concurrence. 1t should be
entirely unfelt and unknown, excepting by the
feeling of bien-etre which accompanies and fol
lows it's normal accomplishment. Safety is bad.
1t implies a sensation of fullness in the region
of the stomach, and that means that too much
food has been taken. The exact correspondence,
in a healthy animal, between the appetite and the
amount Of food required is extraordinary. As a
rule, the meal, unless eaten very slowly, should
cease before the appetite is entirely satisfied. Be
cause a little time is required for the outlying
organs and tissues to feel the effects of the food
that has been ingested. IF too little has been
taken it is easy enough to make it up at the next
meal, and the appetite will be only the better and
the food more grateful.
No one was ever sorry for having voluntarily
eaten too little, while millions every day repent
having eaten too much. 1t has been said that the
great lesson homeopathy taught the world was
this: That, whereas physicians had been in the
habits of giving the patient the largest dose he
could stand, they have been led to see that their
purpose was better subserved by giving him the
smallest dose that would produce the desired eff
feet. And so it is with food. Instead of eating,
as most people unfortunately do, as much as they
can, they should eat the smallest amount that
will keep them in good health.-Century for Feb
ruary.

THE HOME CIRCLE
The Star Above the Manger. "

The Star Above the Manger.*
One night, while lowly shepherd SWANS
Their feecy charge attended,
A light shone DER Judea's plains
Unutterably splendid.
Far in the dusky Orient
A star, unknown in story,
Arose to food the armament
With more than morning glory.
The clustering consultations, erst
So gloriously cleaning,
Waned when it's sudden splendOr burst
Upon their paler beaming.
And Heaven drew nearer Earth that night
Flung wide it's pearly portals
Sent forth from all it's realms of light
Its radiant immortals:
They lowered in the golden air,
Their golden censers swinging,
And woke the drowsy shepherds there
With their seraphic singing.
Yet Earth, on this her gala night,
No jubilee was keeping;
She lay, unconscious of the light,
In silent beauty sleeping:
She lay entranced, her Ethiop breast
So long with anguish heaving-
The earnest of eternal rest
The Christ of God receiving.
No more shall brightest cherubim
And stateliest archangels
SymphoniOus sing such choral hymn
Proclaim so sweet evangels.
No more appear that star at eve.
Though glimpses of its glory
Are seen by those who still believe
The shepherds simple story.
In Faiths clear armament affair
To unbelief a stranger
Forever glows the golden star
That stood above the manger.
Age after age may roll away.
But on Times rapid river
The light of its celestial ray
Shall never cease to culver.
Frail barges on the swelling tide
Are drifting with the ages
The skies grow dark-around each bark
A bowling tempest RACES.
Pale with alright, lost helmsmen steer,
While creaking timbers SILVER
The breakers roar-grim Death is near
o who may now deliver!
Light! light! from the Heraldic Star
Breaks brightly DER the billow
The storm, rebuked, is fled afar
The pilgrim seeks his pillow.
X X
Lost! lost! indeed, his heart must be
His way how dark with danger
Whose hooded eye may never see
The Star above the Mangeri

Mr.. Gudger's Applause.
ruary.

Representative J. M. Gudger, Jr., is an enthu-
siastic advocate of good roads. He has given the
subject no little study and prepared himself to
make his maiden effort in the House in behalf of
the Brownlow measure. Yesterday he considered
a good time for RECALLING the House with his ora
tory. 1t was all arranged for him to speak, but
at the last moment he discovered, to his disap-
pointment, that he would be unable to get the de-
sired time. The representative from the Tenth
did not propose to be cut off in that way, so he
obtained leave to have his excellent speech printed
in the Record. This morning it appeared in that
sleepy publication, and while Mr.. Gudger never
delivered a word of it, there appeared at the con-
clusion in brackets that sterotyped expression,
prolonged applause"
No one enjoyed the joke better than Mr.. Gud-
ger.-Washington Cor. Raleigh Post.
This is sensible, practical advice that The Pro-
gressive Farmer give lin regard to starting bank
accounts.J There was a time when farmers con-
stockings and put in the cracks of their log
houses, or deposited in the family chest that didn't
have even a lock and key, but that time has passed.
We are glad to note that many of the farmers of
this county are practicing modern business meth
DDS. They deposit their money and take a check
book, just as other business men do, which they
use in the transaction of business. Last week Our
Home mentioned the Importance of savings banks
for children, especially, in encouraging economy
and teaching them business methods. Start a
bank account for yourself and give your boys and
girls a small account in the savings bank to start
with. If they are thrifty they will keep adding to
it-Marshville Home. ..

for ten years have been broken by the seasons fall to date. Fifty-eight inches have fallen here to noon today and there is no sign of the storm ceasing. For over eight weeks, rain has fallen here daily. As a result, many cattle have died from lack of food and expo sure, while nearly every mine in the dis trict is flooded more or less. Some of the biggest mines have lost several lev els and the water is still rising despite every effort to keep it down. In few instances, all hands have been laid off owing to the mines being completely flooded. This condition is unprece dented in the mining history of the county.

BRAWLEY AND IRRIGATION DISTRICTS

to speak more accurately, he isn't with us. That's the trouble. He is too scarce and places value on his services far in excess of the appraisement of his employer. It is this scarcity of agricul- tural labor that is perplexing the aver age farm owner, more than any other problem. Values of produce go up and down, but the price of farm labor moves only in one direction-upward.
 The immigration now Hooking to these shores, is gregarious in it's habits. Tie bulk of 1t comes from southern Europe, and goes to still further congest the pop ulation of Atlantic seaboard communi- lies. The comparatively few Scandina- vian and German farmers arriving, are not disposed to labor on wage scale. They are imbued with desire to carve out fortune, small though it may be, for themselves.
 The American farm hand is the most independent individual on earth today. He has cinch and he knows it. He does not lack intelligence and his work is practically that of mechanic.
 The farm hand of today doesn't work any longer hours than other labor. He Is generally near enough to town to hear the whistle blow and when he hears it his blow is left in the furrow, he takes his team in, goes to supper and is ready to go out for the evening. He has another horse in the barn and thinks nothing of drive of few miles to town
