Medieval Diplomacy.

Venice was the leader in medieval
diplomacy, and its ambassadors were
compelled to keep close watch over all
Venetian interests in foreign places.
According to law of 1868, ambassa-
dors were not allowed to be accom-
panied on their missions by their wives
lest state secrets should leak out.
They must, however, take their own
cooks to avoid being poisoned. No
present could be received without the
consent Of the state. After 1888 each
envoy was required by law to file a
written report Of his ministry with the
keeper of the archives. Later it was
made unlawful for an ambassador to
hold conversation with strangers or
to write letters ON political questions
addressed TO persons not connected
with the government. So severe were
the regulations that it became diff
cult matter to obtain the best men for
the foreign service. Fines had to be
imposed upon the appontees who re-
fused to depart for their posts.

GREEK ATHLETES OF OLD.
Their Strenuous Training, Their
Games and Rewards.

"a modern athlete would scarcely
feel strange at the great games Of
Olympia" says writer. "He would
find the usual special grounds carefully
prepared for the various events, the
runners course freshly dug and rolled
In the stadion, soft earth for the long
jumpers in the gymnasium and for the
wrestlers in the palestra. AS to the
athletes themselves, the most striking
difference, perhaps, would be that he
would find that it was the exception,
not the rule, to specialize In partic-
ular event, for though the greatest
glory was to win the stadion, or short
foot race, next to this in honor came
the pentathion, with its five events
running, long jumping, throwing the
discus, hurllng the javelin and wres-
tling-and the winner had to succeed
in three of these In earlier days ques-
tions of diet do not appear to have en-
tered much into the training although
we hear of certain athletes preferrinS
special foods and that all alike alb
stained from any form of alcohol But
in other respects the Greek athlete evil
IDENTITY went in for quite as strenuous
course of training as his successor to-
day. For instance, before the Olympic
games ten months preliminary train
ing was compulsory for all competitors,
who had further to be medically passed
before entering.
In, .iattv fn,,t tI,nt t1,n
games Of Greece were part of religious
festivals and thus had position of
tremendous Importance in the lives of
Greeks, the prizes bestowed on the vic
tors sound strangely inadequate, for all
the successful competitor obtained in
theory was branch Of olive, which was
carried home and heiished as proudly
as any of the cups and medals presented
nowadays. But in practice the rewards
of victory were such as seem to us
absurdly great, for the city whence
the victor came loaded him with gifts,
comforting en him freedom from taxes,
maintenance at the public expense and
other privileges.
"In contrast to this the unsuccessful
competitor was treated with a surpris
ing and surely undeserved amount of
contempt and derlslon, for in one of
Pindar's odes there is a vivid dcscrip-
ton Of one poor beaten wretch stink
ing home by byways and dreading the
reception that must await him. Posi-
bly, the dread and shame Of defeat
sometimes induced competitors to
cheat; certainly at Olympia there still
remains an imposing row of bases on
which once stood the bronze statues
erected out of fines levied for breaking
the rules of the games.
"These rules were many and various,
and many were identical with those
laid down now, but one rather curious
one was that If a competitor withdrew
from a contest after he had once en-
tered he was to be subjected to Il
heavy fine. OF course the games only
gradually developed into the compli-
Gated and elaborate affairs that they
were in historical times. The very first
beginning of them was, according to
legend, the institution of the short
foot ronav

Old Time Simple Manners.

Richard Evelyn, who died in 17O6,
laments in his diary the vanishing of
"the simple manners that prevailed In
his younger days" Men," he says,
"courted and chose their wives for
their modesty, frugality, keeping at
home, good housewifery and other eco
nomical virtues then in reputation.
The virgins and young ladies of that
golden age put their hands to the spin
die, nor disdained they the needle; were
obsequious and helpful to their par
ents, instructed in the managery of the
family and gave presages of making
excellent wives. Their retirements
were devout and religious books and
their recreations in the distilatory, the
knowledge of plants and their virtues,
for the comfort of their poor neighbors
and use of their family, which whole
some, plain diet and kitchen physlc
preserved in perfect health"

He thought that where men are scnei l.

not twice a month. 1t was hardship on

Weber's action at roll call. 1t is said
attracted the roundsman's attention
and he became suspicious. In the hurry,
however. Weber got out on the street
with the other men before the sergeant
had time TO question him.
While making his rounds at the Mon
ument Lot Sergeant Sullivan failed to
iind Weber. lie inquired of several other
men, but they had not seen him.
Sullivan continued to hunt for the
patrolman. and finally the sergeant says
Weber was found leaning against tree
with his arms folded across his breast.
The policeman, so the sergeant says,
seemed to be depending upon the tree
for support Sergeant Sullivan ordered
him TO the station. There his frock coat.
helmet, night stick, revolver and black
lack were taken from him, and he was
provided with a hat and civilian coat.
Weber was then sent home.
Yesterday he learned that charges
were to le preferred against him. and

the coast of Luzon in the Philippine
islands.
That the Japanese know where the
