"MIKE', GIBBONS.
Western Youngster Who Looks Like
Real Fighter.

Gibbons has been boxing only three
years and is now % years old. He is
tall for his weight. There is nothing
about his physique suggesting abnor-
NAL strength His slenderness is the
first thing that strikes one. His legs
are small and so is his waist. There is
no broadening of the body above the
waist, which would give the impression
that he isn't a terrific puncher. The
effectiveness of his blows is probably
accounted for by his scientific method
of delivery and the fact that he wastes
no strength in unnecessary leads.

Hindu Juqaiiru.

The Hindu jugglers and acrobats arS the most skiilful in the world, One of the latest stories told of them is about q performer who went through many wonderful feats perched on the top of a single bamboo stick about fifteen feet in height. The top of the stick was tied to girdle around his waist. and leg rest was provided by cush- ion a few feet down the pole. Perch ed on this slender stick>he hopped and danced about in the liveliest way. ac. companied by the tapping of drum. It would be considered skillful feat to walk about with ease on a pair of .stilts fifteen feet in height. but this Hindu showed a marvellous power of equilibrium on single stick. He did other things even more wonderful. For example. he balanced light stick on his nose and heavy one on his chin and then threw the heavy one into the air with bis head and caught it on the end of light one. While balancing The two sticks thus. end on end. he made one revolve in one direction and the other in the opposite direction

Decline of the Mustaeh..

Permission to wear a mustache was eagerly sought after in the middle of the last century, But now the vifile decoration is discarded Why? In those old days the Bank of England would not allow its employees to wear it and issued an order which might have come more appropriately from a bank of Ireland. 1t was to the effect that the mustache was not to be worn in business hours! A large drapery firm in London objected not only to the mustache, but to hair. parted down the middle. There is more tolerance now. Men look younger when clean shaved. They are also more readable without the protection given by the mustache to the upper lip. If hearts can be worn on sleeves thoughts can be read on upper lips. But is it always wise to leave the legend unhidden? Men seldom like to be divined, as La Rochefoucauld remarked once and for all tme.-London Express.
