King Edwards Anxious Moment.

King Edward once said that he spent the
most exciting and nervous moment of his
life on a prairie in Canada when he visited
that country as youth. He was in no
danger of being scalped by q red Indian,
or eaten by wolves. or gored by mad
dened bison. His anxiety and nervousness
were simply due to his efforts to light a
match.
The prince and his party were miles
away from human habitations; they
wanted to smoke and had only one match
between them. Lots were cast as to who
should strike it. The lot fell on the prince,
and with great difficulty he managed to get
the light which was to supply them with
fire till their return to civilization.

Athletes and Climate.
From the Spectator.


1t is hardly to be doubted that residence,
even for short time only, In the drier
climates gives an appreciable addition to
the athletic activities Of q native Of these
islands. Our golfers who have visited
America are quite unanimous in asserting
that they can drive q longer ball In that
country than at home. Tho majority of
our soldiers who did not suffer from severe
wounds or fever in the South African war
returned with greatly improved health and
activity as the result Of their sojourn in
its relatively dry climate. II we watch an
Australianre eleven IN the field We see all its
members throwing in like horse kick
ing" as the phrase goes; whereas, Of an
English eleven almost every man over
ffve-and-twenty years Of age has thrown
his arm away" long ago. and can only
send In the ball with feeble underhand
jerk. It Is more than probable that a sus-
picion Of rheumatism in the joints, per-
haps not yet painfully apparent, is the
reason for the relative futihty Of the Eng
lishman.
