Twelfth Century Football.

In the twelfth century football in
England was a game for the streets
The chronlcler Of that period tells how
after dinner the city youths address
ed themselves to football" and how
the scholars of each school and the
apprentices of particular trades would
each have their peculiar ball. There
were spectators. too, in those days
enthusiastic spectators. Fathers would
come to watch their sons and become
as youthful rs the youngest, their nat
ural heat seeming to be revived at the
sight of so much ability"
In later years one recalls a famous
ball game played in Hyde park. In
1854, then. there was hurting of a
great ball by fifty Cornish gentlemen
on one side and fifty on the other. One
party played in red caps, the other In
white" And-here the historical value
Of the contest-CromweIl was a spec
tator and applauded the great agility

was one funny story at each meal with

sioljian Carts,

OF all the vehicles in the world there
is none to equal the Sicilian cart
carved, yellow, paneled with lurid
paintings that run the gamut of myth
and history. One we saw had upon its
panels scenes that represented Colum-
bus sailing from Palos and discovering
America. a bloody fight round the cita.
del of Acre, the hermitage Of Santa
Rosalia, and on its tailboard a vivid
picture of the massacre Of the Vespers.
The carts are never very large, as carts
go, but they are so marvelously wrought
that they ought surely to come under
the provisions Of the law that forbids
the expectation Of any works Of art.
Wheels, shafts, axles, the edges Of
sides and posts and tailboards are all
worked into neat geometrical designs.
and on the axle is carving built up
clear to the bottom of the cart, mass
of intricate scrollwork and ginger
bread, in the middle of which sits the
patron saint of the fortunate owner

AIdine Editions,

The introduction of the sloping Ro-
man letters which are known to every
body as italics was made by Aldus
Manutius Of Venice in the latter part
Of the fifteenth century. He was the
most famous printer of Italy and per-
haps of the world. The books he
printed. known as Aldine editions, are
much sought after by collectors. His
first volume in the new type was
Vergil published in 1901 at the price Of
about 2 shillings of our money. Al
dus, in fact, was the pioneer of cheap
literature.
The Aldine mark is a dolphin twined
about an anchor with the name
"Aldys." If any reader, says Mr. ]. A.
Hill In the Imprint. finds a CARLOAD
Of old books with this mark in his
attic or lumber room. he is duly ad-
vised not to use them for lighting the
fire. They would probably buy him a
good annuity for the solace of his de-
clining years.

and, listening, bent over the railing.
But the night was strangely still.
There was no sound, even, Of stirring
leaves. A brooding hush seemed
spread over all the outdoor world
that ominous silence which often pre-
cedes the breaking Of a storm. I
aooked up to find the heavens
wrapped in a pail of inky cloud. And
then. with a feeling OF having fed
from a lesser to a greater evil, I re-
turned TO the lighted room, and
closed the window to shut out the
horror of the night.
Cameron was standing where / had
left him. He looked woefully tired
and haggard.
