WALKING WITH THE LADIES,
Etiquette on That Point Not the Same
In All Countries.

Almost every country has its own
fashions for men who walk with ladies
on the public streets. In America and
in England we walk on the side of the
lady that is nearer the street Many
years ago. when the streets were not
kept as clean ;ls they are now. any per-
son walking on the outer edge of the
pavements WAS likely to get well
spIashed with nlud and rainwater, and
that is why the gentlemen took that
side. 50 as to save the ladies fine
clothes
In some countries it is considered
better for the gentleman to keep near
er the middle of the pavement to
preserve the lady from the jostling of
persons going III tic opposite direction
i'll crowded street. When it is the
rule for every one to keep 70 the right
those who are on the left of the two
passing streams are continually being
bumped into. In Germany the gentle
man always keeps on the same side of
the lady. no matter which side of the
street they may be OH or which way
they are going.-New York Sun.

what may be called the hygiene OF
sport is an idea adopted in Berlin. with

ties.
The idea had it's origin in a depart
ment of the hygiene exhibition held ut
Dresden, in which everything that could
throw light on the influence of sports
and gymnastic exercises on the human
organism was brought together.
Special attention was paid to bodily
measurements arising under different
conditions and from different muscu-
lar exercises. and particular observa-
ton was directed to the good and
harmful effect of the several sports
and gymnastics OH tie human body

The River of Life.

The more we live more brief appear
Our life's succeeding stages;
~ day to childhood seems d year
And years like passing ages.
The gladstone current of our youth
Ere passion yet disorders
Steals lingering like a river smooth
Along its grassy borders.
But as the careworn cheek grows wan
And sorrows shafts fly thicker.
Ye stars that measure life to man,
Why seem your courses quicker?
When joys have lost their bloom and
breath
And life itself is Vapid,
Why as We near the falls of death
Feel we it's tide more rapid?
1t may be strange yet who would change
Times course to slower speeding
When one by one our friends have gone
And left our bosoms bleeding?
Heaven gives our years of fading strength
IndemnifyinG f1eetness
And those of youth a seeming length,
Proportional to their sweetness.
