Some Freaks of EnRlish,

Professor Lounsbury, the notef

boy who began to keep a diary. His
first entry was: Got up this morn

said: Have you never been to school
Got up, indeed! Such an expression!
Does the sun get up? No, it rises
And she scratched out got up at r

OF his instructor. Professor ByerIy
agreed and the student asked him to
listen to and remember several varied
Items for test. He began:

GERMAN HEART TOO LARGE.

Doctor of That Country Tells of OBJ
servations at OIympian Games.
A German medical man publishes
some interesting comparisons made at
the Olympian games respecting the
size and stamina of the heart Of the
English, American and German COM
petitors respectively. DR.. Smith says
that as soon as he examined before the
games the hearts of German sportsmen
he could prophesy that they would
prove no formidable rivals. The size
of the heart was SO abnormally great
that In contests requiring strength, en-
ergy and endurance it was physically
impossible that they should succeed.
Results proved the truth of this fore
cast, and 1t is notable that the few
German athletes who did win places
were in possession of the minimum
sized hearts.
In the American sportsmen the heart
conditions were In striking contrast to
those Of the Germans. Many Of the
American athletes were found to pos
sess hearts smaller in dimensions than
the smallest heart ever measured in
German hospital. An invincible
Splinter possessed the smallest heart
among the American competitors. A
German-Amertcan athlete, rather sig
nifcantly, was found to have the
largest
Among the Englishmen examined the
heart was found to be slightly. larger
than that Of the Americans, though
smaller than that shown by any other
nation. A parallel case which occurred
at the games strikingly illustrated the
difference in form between the English
and the German athletes. In spite of
an indisposition German athlete took
part in certain contest. Subsequent
examination proved that his heart had
increased at the end of the struggle
to double Its previous size. An En-
glishman, suffering from the same in
disposition, returned from the contest
as winner and his heart had become
smaller. The writer points out that
by wrong system of training and in.
Judiclous living German athletes are
doing much to cultivate heart and
nerve complaints on serious scale.

All the worlds . stagA
And al the mSn and women merely play.

They have their exits and their entrances
And one man In his time plays many
parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the
infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurses arms,
Then the whining schoolboy, With his
satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like
Unwillingly to school. And then the
lover,
Signing like furnace, with q woeful bal
lad
Made to his mistress eyebrow. Then .
soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like
the pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick In
quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the lannon's mouth. And then
the justice
In fair round belly, with good capon
lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal
cut,
Full Of wise saws and modern instances
And so he plays his part. The sixth
age shifts
Into the lean and slfppered Pantaioon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on
side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world
too wide
For his shrunk shank and his big manly
voice,
Turning again toward childish treble,
pipes
And whistles in its sound. Last scene
of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and nero obliv-
ion-\
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans
everything.

How to Walk Upstatr..

Perhaps 1t has never occurred to the
boys and girls that there is good way
and bad way to walk upstairs. Hear
what well-known physician says
about It There are few persons who
know how to walk upstairs properly.
Usually person will tread on the ball
Of his foot in taking each step, spring
ing himself up to the next step. This
is not only tiresome, but is wearing on
the muscles, as it throws the entire
suspended weight of the body on the
legs and the feet. In walking upstairs
the feet should be places squarely down
on the step, heel and all. and then the
ascent should be made without hurry.
In this way there will be no strain
on any particular muscle, but each will
do its work in a natural manner.

A Surprise.

1t was pouring rain, but the twins
did not mind it one bit, because they
always liked ever so many rainy days
when they were making a visit at
grandma's.
Grandma had big attic, filed full
of the most wonderful things that you
ever saw.
There were large trunks full of queer
RULED coats and velvet knee breeches.
And there were bouncing bandboxes
that held funny green calashes and the
biggest poke bonnets Imaginable And
then there was the Noah's arkl
1t was not like your pretty painted
one, which Is full to the very top with
wonderful msnagerie.
1t was only little old black box
without any cover. And the animals !
Uncle Jacob cut them all out of some
pieces of wood with his jack-knife,
ever SO many years ago, when he was
not much older than the twins.
And these animals were lust as
funny looking as all the rest of the
things up in that queer old garrett.
There were blue COWS and pink lions
and red-and-black leopards, and when
Uncle Jacob had finished them he dis
covered that all the animals looked
very much alike, SO he wrote the name
on the back Of each one in great black
painted letters.
Polly and Patty lied this Noah's ark
better than anything else in that whole
attic, and they thought 1t was every
bit as wonderful as gncle Jacob did
when he had finished 1t so many years
ago.
So this rainy morning, after they
had finished their breakfast, these two
little girls hurried, up to the attic and
ran straight to the corner under the
caves to get their precious treasure.
Patty got here first. but when she
looked into the box she said, ooh! oh
ohI" very loud indeed.
"Why. what's the matterT exclaim
ed Polly, breathlessly.
There's q live ANIMAL In it," wills
pered Patty. There's heap of baby
mice! A whole nest of them! And

"cause I'm not specially fond of mice
less they're in traps"
But when Uncle Jacob went up int
the attic with her after thinner. there
stood the Noah's ark Just where Polly
had left It. The mice were gone. Ey

still wondering II the big yellow pussy
cat could tell them secret, for she
was washing her face, and she looked
so knowing and wise.-Youth's Com
