THROWING THE DISCUS.
Methods Of the Grecian Athletes In
Homeric Times,

Methods Of the Grecian Athletes In
Homerie Times.
Discus throwing was a refined form
Of hurting the stone. In Homeric
times, and even at Olympia, a stone or
mass of iron was first used for the
purpose. This was held by leathern
thong, swung in a circle and hurled as
far as possible. A circular or lentic-
ular disk of bronze was used at least
as early as the beginning of the fifth
century.
A standard weight must, of course,
be assumed for the great games. A
discus now in the British museum,
which seems to have been used, weighs
II pounds 8 ounces, but whether this
was the standard weight or not is not
definitely known.
The thrower took his stand upon a
slight elevation of limited circumfer-
ence, where he could have a secure
foothold and was prevented from run.
ming. Then, with a swing Of the arm
and corresponding movement of the
whole body, he hurled the discus as
far as possible.
The value of the body movement
was recognized by the sculptor Myorn
in his famous statue, THE Discobo-
lus," and is understood by the modern
athlete when he swings the hammer OF
even when he makes drive at golf.

HOW TO WASH LINEN SUITS.
An Export Laundress Describes the
Best Method.

Best Method.
"Eor washing linen SUITS" said an
expert laundress, use only the best
white soap and never rub the soap on
the cloth unless there is a lot Of hard
dirt to be taken out. In the majority
Of cases the suits soak for an hour or
SO in soapy water. putting them in
when the water is quite hot. By the
time it is cool enough to permit wash
ling freely the soild parts are sufi-
GENTLY soft to admit Of cleaning with
out very much scrubbing. Rinse in
several waters, always until the last
water is perfectly clear, then pass the
garment through the stiffening water,
after which it Is pressed as dry as
possible in the cotton sheet.
Some stiffening is necessary to give
the linen the appearance Of freshness
which it has when it comes to you
from the tailor. On the other hand,
the greatest care should be taken not
to have too much stiffening That
ruins the appearance of what would
otherwise be perfectly washed suit
You want just enough to give the linen
body and yet not take away from its
suppleness.
"In washing colored linens, excepting
tans and browns. color all the waters
and try always to avoid putting soap
on colored linen, and also do not use
water hotter than blood heat. allowing
before washing it out and putting it
in second water Of the same tempera-
ture and colored. Three waters are
generally enough for a colored linen
suit. Where the suit is not much soil
cd two will be enough. The stiffening
water must be colored just as was that
in which the washing and rinsing was
done.
After wringing in the cotton sheet
care must be taken in hanging both
coats and skirts for the drying process
Fresh air for colored linen and sun for
the whitehall is the ideal drying
process. House drying never gives the
satisfaction that good laundress
wants for her work. Steam drying
should be a last resort. 1t Injuries the
texture Of the goods and leaves the
colors less brilliant
THE figures on which suits get their
final shaping are the kind used By
good dressmakers and tailors. I have
all sizes and covered so that the suits
get as nearly as'possible the shape Of
their owners. I keep the figures ar
rayed in fresh petticoats and shirt
waists, and when the freshly washed
suits are on them I'm not ashamed for
any one to walk into my shaping
rooms. Each suit is taken from the
figure and placed in its box for ship
ment. Great care is taken to see that
every part of it is perfectly dry"

sYRIA'S HUGE MONOEITH.
Largest Stone Ever Quarried is q Relic
of Antiquity.

or Antiquity.
One of the most interesting proofs of
the wonderful civilization Of the an
clients Is afforded by the great slab of
stone at Baalbec, in Syria. This huge
monolith Is sixty-nine feet long. four
teen feet broad and seventeen feet in
depth. 1t is said to be the largest piece
of stone ever quarried and its estimat.
ed weight is 800 tons.
1t is thought by archaeological schol.
ars that this huge stone was intended
by the ancient builders to sdorn the
Temple Of the Sun near hy-now, OF
course, in ruins. Here in one Of the
walls which still stand are to be seen
huge slabs of stone. which careful
measurements show to be stxty-three
feet long and thirteen feet high.
And, more remarkable still, they are
placed in position nineteen feet above
the ground level. Moreover. although
no sign Of any cementing mixture is to
be found in these ancient buildings,
the stones have been squared and pol.
1shed so evenly that only after the
most minute search can the joints be
found and when traced it is impossible
to thrust the blade Of a pocket knife
between them!
How these things were done is q
standing mystery to the scientist

MUST
PAY THE COSTS.
If Commissioners Turn Down
Petition for Improve
ment of Roads.

Subscribers to petitions asking for
the improvement of highways under
the three mile act, by afixing their
names to the petition, make them
selves financially responsible for part
of the cost of advertising and other
Incidental expenses IL the petition IL
voted down by the board of county
commissioners. The preliminary ex-
penses usually amount to between $500
and $500.
Many persons have signed petitions
for road improvements under the three
mile act in ignorance of the fact that
they may be called on to pay part of
the costs in case the county commits
sioners turn down the request.
Thus far the board of commission
ers has rejected but one petition. that
one being the improvement of North
west Eighth street petitioned for by
Richard Sedgwick and others. The i'm
provement would have been partly in
the city and partly In the township
When the city board OF works turned
down the project, the county commits
sioners also dropped the petition.
1t is understood that a petition for
the improvement of Northwest Fifth
street under the three mile act, also q
joint city and township improvement,
will not be presented to either the
board of works or the commissioners
until the signers know that the board
OF works will act favorably on the
measure.
If the commissioners pass favorably
on a petition, the entire costs are
borne by the county, and the petition
ers are exempt from paying the pretim-
mary costs.
