tennis, shooting peiota-the basic pur

Tipcat shuttlccock and top spinning
are the employment of notifications of
the sphere, and archery is but another
method of propulsion.
1t is strange limita ton of form.
and there must be a reason Those who
delye into origins may ascribe the
whole motive of sports to some long
armed, hirsute ancestor who first
threw a pebble at fellow cave dwell
err and found it great fun.
Or it may be poor mortal's attempt
to get in a small fashion into the ire
mendous scheme Of the universe
which is the everlasting movement of
the spheres. Or it may he that sports
are framed in inevitable obedience to
| some irresistible law OF nature.
/ At any rate the fact is sports are
based on the propulsion of the sphere

PAlFREY FOR DINNER.
Il Was Not horscflcsh, However, That
Or. johnson Ate

VI 0plifspfi fNtNs
Dr. Johnson in his journal mentions
the interesting fact that he had on a
certain day had "pafrry FOR dinner"
Now, these three words have caused
not little trouble 90 the critics, and
for this reason, hat they know not
what palfrey really is It has been
suggested that palfrcy is a clerical er-
ror made by the doctor himself for
pastry, but the doctor wrote 50 legibly
and there is so much difference be
tween the words palfrcy and pastry
that this position is not ut all tenabe.
Palfrey is defined In Iohnsons ccle-
brated dictionary as "a small horse tit
for ladies'" ana some have thought
that the doctor (whose feats as a
trencherman We're notorious, may have
broken q record on the day In question
and disposed of small horse. All
these and other conjeCtureS are wroi =
and we will proceed to give the correct
explanation
The word palfrey sometimes pam
frey by the interchange OF | and M Is
still In use among the rustics of Scot
lahu anu the HoTln OF lTelAuu ant
means young cabbages when they frs
come to table in the spring. Such cab
bages have not begun to "close" or he
come solid In the center. They ar
generally spoken of as early pamfrey
and are considered n luxury. DIR. John
son probably picked mp the word from
his friend Boswell or from some othel
Scotch acquaintance. ~ London Notes
