Eaata af a Strong Man.

We'll known in the old buffalo days of Saskatchewan was Joe Beaupre. famed thousand miles as the biggest. eater in the north. Joe was not six feet tall. but he was broad. deep, thick sort of man, with hand like a ham and stomach like nothing else in the world. He would eat an entire boxful of apples at one sitting and think nothing of 1t. Once, having encounter ed a gentleman who thought he war some eater, Joe consumed ffty-three pounds of buffalo meat in one day and topped or with a raw tuntps a six pound piece of pork, some lard and two loaves of bread. The best his competitor could do was thirty seven pounds of meat Beaupre was so strong he never would fight any man for fear he should kill him. One day. while sIedding on a narrow trail with an obstinate horse, he became angered, struck the horse on the head with his fist and killed it. He loosened the harness and threw the dead animal on one side of the trail. He never really knew how strong he was. Beaupre died of rheumatism while still young man.-Saturday Evening Post.

The Seventh Inning Stretch.

It is a simple ceremonial, but i'm pressive, like all manifestations of the soul of a multitude. I need only close my eyes to call up the picture V1vadiy. It is a day of brilliant sunshine, and a great crowd of men is seated in the open air, a crowd made up of all con ditions, ages, races, temperaments and states of mind. The crowd has sat there an hour or more, while the aft ernoon sun has s1anted deeper into the west and the shadows have crept across greensward and hard baked clay to the eastern horizon. Then, al
 most with a single motion-the time may be somewhere between o'clock and 5 o'clock-this multitude of divers minds and tempers rises to it's feet and stands silent, while one might count twenty perhaps. Nothing is said No high priest fntones prayer for this vast congregation. Neverthe- less, the impulse of 10000 hearts is ob- viously focused into single desire.

Last seeret of oreelee.

No greater gift could be made to our modern world than the rediscovery of the Greek physical supremacy. The secret Of the method by which for one. brief period they realized perfection was long since lost no one knows how.
 At present so little do we understand the principles of training which guid- ed the Greek in his games, In his bat ties and his dances and made the pro- portions of his figures different from ours Of today that Greek sculpture is in reality a puzzle to us. Certain pastures fixed by the Greek sculptor seem to us contortions, bordering on physical impossibi1ities, There is al- ways a terrific controversy over the restoration of Greek sculpture, anu even then the arms and heads and legs we supply never look right
 All this because we do not under stand the principles by which the Greek ordered the movements oss his body. It was q great secret of bodily coordination, and the secret has been lost and with it the ability thoroughly to understand Greek art-New York Times.

School In the Sixteenth Century.

School life at Shrewsbury in the six teenth century was strenuous affair. MT. Percy AddIeshaw in his "Ldfe of Sir Philip Sidney has an interesting account of the school at that time. .Arhe school year. he writes, twas di- vided into halves. From Lady day to All Saints day the hours of attend ance were from 6 o'clock in the morn ing till II. the dinner hour In the afternoon the boys studied from 12:45 till o'clock. Prayers were recfted at the beginning and close of the day. If 8 holy day occurred in the week 1t was play day, but usually the weekly day for games was Thursday. One custom then begun is still observed. % At the earnest request and great entreaty of some man of honor. of great worship, credit or authority an extra holiday was granted to the boys. The judges of assize, when visiting Shrewsbury, are still accustomed to ask for and obtain this boon."-West- minister Gazette.
