GREEK ATHLETES.


The Way They Ran and the Style of
Track They Used.
I'm the foot races of the ancient
Greeks" says writer, the shape of
the stadium caused great difference,
since it was not circular, but long and
narrow, with one or both ends semicir-
cular. Consequently the runners had
to take sharp turn at the end Of each
lap, while except at the turn they were
running straight course. Evidently
this turn needed much practice, for the
pictures on the old vases show athletes
practicing this one part of the race as
kind Of drill, taking each movement
separately.
I'm early times, when all the runners
turned round the same post, the turn
gave opportunities for foul play, and
there are stories of one competitor trip
ping another at the post or Selling him
by the hair to prevent his winning.
But later, in the shorter distances at
least, each runner had his own track
and post to turn round, and probably
the separate courses were roped off in
much the same way as they are now
In sprint races. For the start elaborate
arrangements were made and at Olym-
pia the stone slabs are still to be seen,
with the grooves at regular intervals
that had to be toed at starting.
Greek long distance men ran in the
most approved style of the present
day. But the sprinters apparently en-
ployed a considerable amount of arm
action and took very long steps, rising
well on to the toes. Then there was the
race In armor, an event highly praised
by several of the Greek writer's as
valuable preparation for war and
which is supposed to explain the ia
nous running charge of the Athenians
at Marathon.

THE VETERINARY

For Indigestion give lambs tea
spoonful Of castor oil in the morning
and again at night. Feed a little bran
and linseed meal mixed In equal parts
in the mornings and evenings and be
sure they have pure fresh water to
drink. Do not give too much salt. A
little of 1t scattered ON a plank and
well scattered about SO that 1t cannot
be taken too freely will be very useful,
but too much-which they will easily
take II stinted-is injurious. A lump
Of rock salt Is the best way to give
this. They will lick it and not get an
overdose of it.-American Sheep Breed

Tonic For Horses.
Horses sometimes refuse to keep In
condition, no matter how well fed. In
that case the following tonic will often
prove valuable: One dram calomel, one
ounce aloes, one dram belladonna and
one-half ounce ginger in pint of raw
linseed oil and follow with teaspoon
full of dried sulphate of iron three times
u day.-Farm and Ranch.
Azoturia In Horses.
This disease is one of overfeed and
lack of regular exercise, says National
Stockman. The preventive is to cut
down the grain ration on all idle days.
The cure is to say ''Whoar' as soon as
stiffness begins, put on a blanket and
let the animal stand perfectly still for
a full half hour, then walk slowly to
the nearest barn. Wiring a thick blan-
ket yard square out Of very hot wa

can be used without scalding. Put a

four hours, then only half rations until
1t gets fully well Do not use drugs
except by the advice of a competent

THE NEEDLES EYE.


Strange Story of How the Sewing
Machine Riddle Was Solved.
Elias Howe almost beggared himself
before he discovered where the eye of
the needle Of sewing machine should
be located. His original idea was to
follow the model of the ordinary needle
and have the eye at the heel. 1t never
occurred to him that it should be plac-
ed near the point, and he might have
failed altogether If he had not dreamed
he was building a sewing machine for
q savage king in a strange country.
Just as in his actual waking expert
ence, he was rather perplexed about
the needles eye. He thought the king
gave him twenty-four hours to COM
plete the machine and make it sew. II
not finished in that time. death was to
be the punishment.
Howe worked and worked and puz-
zled and puzzled and finally gave it up.
Then he thought he was taken out to
be executed. He noticed that the war
riors carried spears that wwe pierced
near the head. Instantly came the So
luton of the difficulty, and while the
inventor was begging for time he
awoke. 1t was o'clock in the morn
ing. He jumped out of bed, ran to his
workshop, and by a needle with an
eye at the point had been rudely mod
eled. After that it was easy This is
the true story of an important incident
in the invention of the sewing machine.

His Devotion In Intense and He In
Proud of HIS Religion.
A traveller in Africa writes: This is
land of religion. The Mussulman's
devotion is intense, ever present and
all pervading. being not an accessory
tackled on, as 1t were, to his life to be
practiced more or less surreptitiously,
but an essential part, wherewith and
wherein he lives at all times. A Mus
sulman prays openly and publicly, In
nowise afraid to be seen. Every man
wears his string of beads whereon he
records the number of his daily pray
ers. Notwithstanding its, to us, I'M
inviting appearance, the religion has
made and still is making great strides
In Africa, and one can only attribute
this to the fact that here at last is
religion of which its adherents are in
no way ashamed. 1t offers to the
faithful absolute assurance of saliva
ton and engenders that blind, unhesi-
tating faith therein which is so COM
forting to the native mind
Seeing crowd of pilgrims bound for
Mecca patiently-nay, with pleasure
enduring the worst treatment that one
could imagine melted out to herds of
driven slaves, one envies the excess
of faith that can engender such a dis
position. Though robbed, slain, starv-
ed, herded with pestilence and sub
Jected to countless hardships and an
noyanees, yet year after year they
come from far and near thousands and
tens of thousands strong on this the

shiploads from India and Farther In

OF the great empire, French subjects
from Algiers, from Morocco, and dusky
negroes who have tramped for months
from the western shores of Africa.
Through many lands and midst many
tongues they come, all to meet at this
thronged center of the maelstrom of

WINTERING THE COLT.


Importance of Building a Frame of
Bone and Muscle.
AS is the case with nearly all domes-
tic animals, the care during the first
winter of its growth is largely respon-
sible for the later welfare OF the young
colt. At this time 1t is either well
started or stunted for life. Growth
once lost during the first year can new
er be made up. Presenting that the
colt has had reasonably good treat
ment all summer, has been running
with its dam and fed oats occasionally,
the question at this time of year is how
to get the best growth during the win
ter months
At the age of five months a young
colt should be well weaned, partially
broken and accustomed to more or less
dry feed If colt has not learned
these things that is the first task before
winter approaches. 1t should be halter
broken and kept In the barn cool nights
uiili IL 10 bhOlOuShl9 dCCuStOiueu " It's
winter feed and quarters. 1t should
spend, however, a large share of its
time out of doors until quite late In the
season, thus hardening it to its first
winter, which In turn induces a thick
winter coat, necessary for its protec
ton 1t should be gradually accustom-
ed in the stable to handling. The feet
should be trimmed and otherwise kept
In order
AS to feed, there is nothing much bet
ter in our northern climate than whole
oats in such quantity as the colt will
clean up and relish Corn is not nee
essary and should form very small
part of the ration, If used at ALL The
oats will furnish the bone and muscle
necessary. If good clean clover hay
can be obtained small amount would
be valuable addition to the rations.
An occasional bran mash or small
amount of roots, such as carrots and
mangels, is valuable in keeping the
bowels in condition In the north,
where wild peas abound, they furnish
excellent hay for colts as well as any
other young stock.
The young colt does not necessarily
have to be fat to be thriving. The i'm
portant thing is to build a suitable
frame of bone and muscle that we can
later round out at will Above all
things, the colt must be kept growing
all the time. A setback In colthood
means lack of matured weight later
on. and the weight is what brings the
money. The cheapest way to get this
weight is to give the colt the proper
care the first year.-Farmer.
