WRESTLED FOR BIG STAKES
Bloodless Ccnbat Bet 'ocn Son^ of Mi- |

Tia 1 sporting Japanese gentleman
kii avs all the Jine points about wres
tlhig. His enthusiasms on this sub
if ■ ; -tne.’ ■ Ju. . 'ml he
inherits them from a ion r lino of an
cestors, says Julian Street in Mc-
CluiVs When the Greeks and
Romans wrestled ' ■ .lapa ■me were
wrestling too. In die Ninth century ■
the Japanese threhe was wrestled tor.
A mikado died and left 'two s, ns, and
these, instead of t hrs 1,1 'Gir with
each other, left theit chums to be
settled by a wn-stlir/ match.
The spurt is. furthermore. asso
ciated in a manner more or less di
aphanous with Shintoism. Certain
Shinto traditions are eomiected with
at, and the- matches used to be held on
the grounds of Shinto temples.
The attitude of the sporting Jap
anese gentleman toward wrestlers re
sembles that, of the sporting American
or Englishman toward pugilists and
jockeys. It is chic to know them, but
not as equals. Otte is very genial with'
them and'at the same time a lit
tle patronizing, whereas they are ex
pected to assume a slightly deferen
tial maimer. Perhaps the attitude of ;
the Japanese sporting gentleman to
ward h® favorite wrestlers is rather
more kike that of the Spanish sport
ing gentleman toward bullfighters, for
■in both countries it is customary for
the yJealtby patron to give expensive
jw sents to the hero. But whereas ip
f^ain handsome jewelry is sotnetimes
■ l hr<>wn to the bull-fighters in the ring,
t is the custom in Japan for the fan
Pw throw his hat, coat, pocketbook,
v^garette case or what not to the pop-

change- a^ valuable gift—frequently a
gift of money.

was a good deal if discussion as i.

whoh distinguished them idovt, .-oose
quills was that they cost more. Kings

SOME STRAIN ON THE EYES I
_
Wall Paper of Colonial Days Truly I
Deserved to Be Called “Fearful
and Wonderful."
The antique wall papers found in
the colonial ' “mansions” of Ports
mouth. N. H., marvelously preserved,
are too animated for restful compan
ionship. Only a nerveless race could
have gazed all tlv-r lives uptm such a
monotmiouj variety of incident.
Thomas Bailey Aldrich tells us that
a typical paper, familiar to his child
hood, cusplaye’d over and over again a
gi aip of'English country people wear
ing Kalian hats, and dancing on a lawn
which ended abruptly in a sea beach,
on which stood a fisherman angling for
a whale, and wisely indifferent to the
^issue of a terrific naval combat which
was being fought, just beyond reach of
his fishing rod.
Grander in scale, but as irrelevant
in detail, is a very handsome paper on
thl’ walls of the athletic club, where
behold gayly dressed ladies and
Gentlemen passing under Virginia’s
Natural Bridge to get a good view of
Niagara falls, and turning from the
barbarous, splendor of an Indian war
dance to,witness a drill of West Point
1 cadets
The painted walls of the Warner
house, discovered by chance in 1850,
present a wide choice of disconnected
subjects. Abraham prepares to sacri
fice Isaac under the supervision of
Governor Phipps, and foreign cities of
impossible picturesqueness stretch be
fore the «eyes of fair Priscilla at her
spinning wheel. —Agnes Repplier in

For some reason a chapel was ded

century who was martyred under the
Emperor’Diocletian —St. Vitus —whose

volving invohmtary muscular motion.
Scientifically mis diseas? is known as
<-!i, rea. Another explanation is that
in •*-; taiu i bices in Germany during
the Seventeenth century is was be
lieved good health could be obtained
for a year by dancing before the saint’s
image on his festival day, and that it
was in this way the original' St. Vitus’

Mrs. Mahala Burns Savanna, Mo. re
lates an experience, ihe like of which
has happened in almost every neighbor
hood in this country, and has been told
and related by thousands of others, as
follows: “I used a bottle of Chamber
lain’s Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy nine
years ago and it cured me of flux (dysen
tery). I had another attack of the same
complaint three or four years ago and a
few doses of this remedy cured me. I
have recommended it to dozens of peo

to do so for 1 know it is a quick and

PRESERVE GLORIES OF ROMfe
Concrete Structures Are Miwients
to the Greatness erf Old Rul
ers of the World.
Builders of ancient Rome knew a
lot about concrete and used it exten
sively in civic and private ’‘undertak
ings. It was we’d that they knew so
much about Uris building material mid
were so generous in the use of it. Had
they used less durable substance in
the building or the monumental struc
tures that were features of Rome the
remains of these great projects would
not. be dotting all southern Europe,
serving to emphasize ttie adv: wee ,
meat of the people who lived wr cen
turies in these parts before the com
ing of Christ.
The discovery of. cement by th se.
early pedplv was fortunate, for other
wise nothing ffiaL would have been
known about this wonderful race.
They would have been obliterated and
nothing of their history, intelligence,
character or enterprise would have
come down through Hie years to pos
terity. They told their story on slabs
of cement and built their homes, theii
government buildings, waterworks
and the like of concrete, which has
resisted the wear of thousands ot
years.
Slabs almost as perfect as when
made have been discovered by arch
eologists who have deciphered the
chiseled characters which tell many
wonderful stories about this race.
The ruins of the buildings they erect
ed are among the great sights of the
world and are continually furnishing
investigators, students of the Roman
period, with new sources of research,
into this really wonderful era in the
progress of the world,

Nova Scotia’s Sheep Industry.
The sheep industry in Nova Scotia
is more than 200 years old, records
of 1693 telling of 173,271 sheep in Ar
cadia. The province now ranks fourth
among the provinces in the number of
sheep, with 200,979, standing second to
> Quebec in price received for wool.
Nova Scotia owes its superior quality
■’ to its low shrinkage, as compared with
... . ....... ... i . rm,,.
wool from other parts of Canada. Ihe
climate on the mainland demands shel
ter for sheep during the winter months,
though on certain islands along the
south shore they are out the fear
around and feed on the sea kelp
washed up on the shore. These are
the wild sheep descended from those
brought in by early settlers. Enter
prising farmers on the south shore,
seeing that they fed off the kelp in
winter, corralled them on nearby is
lands. ,■
CAUSE OF APPENDICITIS
When the bowels are constipated the
lower bowels or large intestines become
packed with refuse matter, that is made
up largely of germs These germs enter
the vermiform append x and set up in
flammation, which is commonly knowrt
as appendicitis. Take Chamberlain’s
Tablets when needed and keep your
bowels regular and you have little to
fear from appendicitis.
Famous Old London Bridge.
London bridge*reached the height di
its glory in the reign of Queen Eliz
sVeth. when the city built a gate and
tower three stories high at Southwark
end, and the wonder of London. Non
s ; ,-h house, "a huge wooden pile, four
stories high, with cupolas and turrets
at each corner, brought from Holland,
and erected with wooden pegs instead
of nails.” reared itself over the seventh
and eighth arches, on the north side
of the drawbridge. The whole bridge,
in those days, was one wonderful street
of shops and dwelling houses, with a
chapel built or restored “wjth great
splendor.” Yet, but a hundred years
or so later, the scene is changed in
deed The houses and Shops and the
chapel are still there, but a hundred
years old. Christian Science Monitor.

STEEPLES OF MANY, DESIGNS ;
No General Rule His Been Followed >
by Architect* in Centuries of
Church Building.
Steeple is a general architectural
name fur the whole arrangement of
tower, belfry, spire, etc. The origin
of steeples is obscure, the term snire
(Old English, “spir,” a blade of grass,
and so anything tapering -to a point),
is the specific architectural term given
lofty roofs in stone or wood, covered
with lead or slate which crown the
towers of cathedrals, churches and va
rious other buildings, in plan they
are conical, w pyramidal or octag
onal, or hexagonal, often pierced by
ornamental openings where they are
enriched with crockets. On the conti
nent the architects aimed to make the
steeple ami spire one, merging them
into each other, while in England they
openly confessed it was a separate
structure by making its point of origin
behind a plain or pierced parapet, or
ornamental battlements. A spire prop
erly belongs to pointed architecture
and hence has never been fully devel
oped except in Gothic buildings. As I
early as the Twelfth century they took I
on different form-, and almost every- j
waere from the Thirteenth to the Six- i
teenth century became the terminat
ing construction of every church stee
ple, tower or lantern, and also those
of similar buildings, more especially
in Germany and France. In England
Norman churches were without spires,
but with the coming of early English,
short Oues were introduced; decorated
Gothic called for much higher ones,
and the perpendicular still higher. The
earlier spires were generally built of
timber, and they were always so when
the building was roofed with wood.
These early timber spires were, as a
rule, not very tall, but later reached a
greater elevation; that which crowned
old St. Paul's in London is said to
have been 527 feet in height. The most
lofty spires now in existence^ such as
those of Salisbury. Coventry and Nor
wich, are all of stone.
Ths Balalaika.
. The balalaika is not an entirely un
known instrument in England. The in
terest taken in all that pertains to
R sia, especially in all that relates
to art, has etmlded this variation ot
the ancient Persian tambour to find a
welcome in London. It had a season
of great success in the later nineties,
after its revival in Russia. For cpi*
' turies it had been neglected, but the
great Russian musician, Andreev, saw
in it the possibilities of expressing
1 the national music of his country and
formed the first Balalaika orchestra
which played before Nicholas the Sec
ond in 'ISOS, and became the forerun- <
ner of the popularity <|f the iustru
ment not only in Russia, but in other
countries where it was played.

UNDOUBTEDLY HIS BY RIGHT
Boorish 'Stranger Surely Proved His
Claim to Possession df That Match
box Without Argument.
The car on an English railway was
not overcrowded. There was a goodly
number of persons sitting in it, but
evidently there was not room for the

He stood on every one’s toes.
He pushed his luggage in every one’s
eyes and placed his heaviest bag on
some one’s hat.
He elbowed himself plenty of room
on the side of the compartment .
“Infernal railway!” he muttered to
the man next to him.
“Thank goodness,” replied the
stranger, “that you spoke first!
“What do you mean?” asked the
rude man.
“Well,” said the stranger, handing
him a gold matchbox, “I must give you
this, sir.”
“But,” exclaimed the other, “we are
complete strangers'”
“Yes. sir, I know that, but I am
member of a society, and we have
subscribed for that matchbox, which
we were going to give to a member

HIS DUTY TO AID TRAVELERS
Postmagjier of Three Hundred Years
Ago Supplied Horses to Those
Who Weeded Them.
A postmaster of 300 years ago was
a very different person to what lite is
today. Do you want- to know how?
Well, the postmaster today has to do
almost entirely with letters and par
cels and, in England, of course, with
telegrams, too. But 300 years ago
lie had to do almost entirely with
horses. Thus I wonder, says a writer
in the New York Evening Post, if you
know that William Brewster, the lead
er of the Mayflower Pilgrims, was for
many years postmaster at Scrooby. a
little village in England on the great
North road, halfway between London
and Berwick?
William Brewster, however, did not
live in a little house in the village I
street, using the front room as a post
office, as do many village postmasters
today. He lived in a ’grand old house
called Scrooby manor and' his duty
was to supply horses to all travelers
who desired to hire them, for in those
days, of course, all traveling that was
not done on foot was done on horse
back. He was appointed bv the gov
ernment and he had what .300 yeprs
ago was a very handsome salary,
namely, 2s a day, besides what trav
elers used to pay him if they stayed
for a night or so at Scrooby manor
on their journey. Il was in the great
hall at Scrooby manor that the Pil
grims used to meet before they left
England for Holland, whence, some
ten years or so later, they sailed for
America.
