THE ANCIENT SPARTANS.
They Flosged Men Who Grew Too Fat
For Military Service.

Among the ancient Spartans every
thing was considered secondary to mil
itary efficiency. and with view to Sc
curing this the boys and men were by
law kept in continual state Of train
ing" No deformed child was allowed
to live. Boys were taken from their
homes and subjected to military regu-
lations at the age Of seven. They were
compelled to wear the same single gar
ment winter and summer. At twenty
they joined the ranks and from that
age till they reached sixty were re-
Quired to dine at the public tables,
where only certain quantity was sup
piled for each man. The magistrates
interfered In absurdly small matters.
They regulated the degree of fairness to
which 1t was lawful for any citizen to
extend his body.
Those who dared to grow too fat or
too soft for military service and exer
else were sometimes soundly logged.
Aelian In his history relates that
Nauclis. son Of Polytus, was brought
before the ephors (magistrates) and the
whole assembly Of Sparta, and Ibis un-
lawful fatness' was publicly exposed.
and he was threatened with perpetual
Punishment II he did not bring his
body within the regular Spartan COM
pass and give up the culpable mode
Of living. which was declared to be
more worthy Of an Ionian than q
Spartan.

Clock and Watch Freaks.

"A watch isn't exactly dirty when 1t
requires cleaning" says a matchmaker.
1T may need cleaning when 1t hasn't
even been worn.
"A common cause Of this Is that the
oil in the works has dried up and be-
come sticky, causing the watch to go
slow or even to stop. In this case 1t
not only wants cleaning but also the
addition Of fresh oil.
1.-THE best oil for this purpose Is OBJ
tanned from the jawbone of porpoise
or kindred fish. Many watchmakers
mix their own oil from various kinds.
Clocks also stop for no apparent
reason. During thunderstorm, for
instance, a clock may stop, only resum-
ing work when minutes. days or even
weeks have passed.
'Thunderstorms, again, have been re-
sponsible- for the restarting Of old
clocks which have apparently retired
altogether from active service."-Lon.

Two Posers.

Lewis Carroll, the author Of "Alice
In Wonderland" was fond Of puzzling
his friends with curious problems. One
Of them was the question, When does
the day begin? II a man could travel
around the world so fast that the sun
would always be directly above his
head, and IL he were to start travelling
at midnight on Tuesday, then In TWEEN
ty-four hours he would return to his
original point Of departure and would
find that the day was now called We'd
nesday. At what point Of his journey
would the day change its name! The
difficulty Of answering this apparently
simple question has cast gloom over
many pleasant party.
Another problem was as follows: A
rope is hung over a wheel fixed to the
roof Of building. At one end Of the
rope weight is fixed, which exactly
counterbaIances monkey which is
hanging ON the other end. Suppose
that the monkey begins to climb the
rope. What viii be the result? 1t Is
very curious the different views taken
by good mathematicians. One says
the weight goes up with increasing We
loctty, others say that 1t goes up at
the same rate as the monkey, while
another says 1t goes down.

The Other Version.

Miss Jane Barlow sent poem as a
first contribution to the Cornhill Mag
azine when James Payn was It's editor.
Think Of the lady receiving a brief
line, scrawled In James fearful chirog-
raphy, which she interpreted as fol-
lows: 81 have no use for silly verses"
or course Miss Barlow INDUCED in
copious tears There never was such
an III hammered snub. Then she com
menced to study the scrawl. Now
came CLEAN OF light, for she dlmly
made OFT what II really was: ~ hope
to use Your rretty verses"

than the other and an aggressive chin
belied a mildness of appearance due
to the large lensed spectacles he wore.
His hands and feet were large and UNI
manageable and his clothes fitted
him as though they had been made
for man of more generous build.
The Hotel Breeze had solved the
servant problem by employing college
students as walters. 1t had become
fashionable to take an interest in these
struggling aspirants for learning, and
Dollie Darcy was nothing If not fash
ionable. Even though 1t threatened
q break with Paul vinton-whom she
expected to marry some day-she In
sisted on having her student to be in
