Tin- MiiKk In Italy.
The Italian nation is especially ap
pealed to by the charm of mystery and
all those indefinite possibilities which
lurk behind the secrecy of the mask.
Not but that this license of masks was
frequently abused. Alessandro VI.,
wlio with Madonna Lucrezia, was so
fond of watching the maskers go past
from the baieony of Castel St. Angelo.
had to forbid masks in 1499 under pain
of the gallows, to such an extent did
the factions and ill disposed at Ilouio
take advantage of them to pay off old
.scores, and so many people were killed
or seriously wounded every day in the
streets.
Connected with the old Saturnalia
the masks were the especial charac
teristic of the Fabuiao Atelianae and
the less artistocratic Mim.ie, and no
body who has seen the collection of
such antiquities at Rome, Naples and
rompeii will doubt the important part
that masks played in the life of the
t-.irly empire. Thence we may trace
them down in the antique farces,
which gradually blended with the sa
cred representations of the middle
ages until they ultimately laicised
them and removed them from the
church. Gentleman's Magazine.
The Wishbone.
The wishbone in birds is called by
scientists furcula and Is In reality the
union of what are in man the two sepa
rate collar bones. These in the birds re
ceive the brunt of the strokes of the
wing that turn the creature in its
flight. Few r.'illze the strength of
stroke f the bill's wing. It is said
that a swan h;;s been known to break
a man's lg by a blow of its wing, and
in like manner the wing beatings of the
larger birds are dangerous if they
strike the bead or face. If. therefore, a
large bird is in the habit of making
sudden turns to right or left in its
flight it must be fitted with a wishbone
competent to withstand the great
strain of the wing stroke on one side,
with no special action on the other side.
For this reason we find in the eagle
and like birds of lickly turning lllght
a furcula that Is a perfect lioman arch,
widely at variance with the Gothic
arch, which is the shape of the wish
bone of our common fowl.'. The eagle's
furcula is a solid rouuded arch, every
where equally strong and not develop
ing those points of weakness that make
our sport of breaking the wishlxme
possible.

The variety of beneficial motions that
may be had in muscular exercise is al
most unlimited. It is interesting to no
tice that children, when free to play
as they choose, instinctively make so
many different motions that they seem
to use all their muscles. When peo
ple's ideas of propriety shall have be
come what they should be grown peo
ple can exercise like children without
being considered daft or silly. Many
of the performances of children seem
to older persons purposeless and use
less. There is such a state of ignorance
ut.d prejudice that many people of con
siderable education luck very much of
having a proper conception of the rela
tion of exercise to life and health. One
may learn anl practice with benefit
a system of exercises, as many do.

the principles involved that makes os

A TRUSTING SOUL.

"No, Jack," the young woman said,
eluding lite arm; "not yetl"
"What's the matter, Lulu 7 he
asked.
"I haven't said I'd marry you.
There's something else to be settled
first."
"What is it, sweetheart 7'
"Several tilings. You have habits I
cannot tolerate in the man I marry.
Jack, do you smoke?"
"Yes. I burn a cigar once in awhile."
"You will have to give that up."
"All right, dear. What else?"
"Do you chew tobacco?"
"Not habitually. Once In a great
while I take a chew." " ,
"I can't marry a tobacco chewer."
" "Well, I'il promise to quit it. Any
thing else?"
"Yes. Do you drink?"
"Occasionally I take a glass of beer
nothing stronger, upon my word."
"Will you promise to - give that up
too?"
"Sure. I don't care anything about it,
anyhow."
"Do you play cards?"
"Occasionally, just for fun."
"I can't marry a card player."
"Then I'll cut out the card playing."
"Do you bet on horse races?"
"Sometimes."
"That's just as bad as any other kind
of gambling, Jack. You'll have to prom
ise to drop it."
"Well, I'll quit that too. And now"
"Hold ou, Jack. Are you lu debt?"
"Don't owe a cent to anybody on
earth. Dot-s that"
"Not quite. Wait a rn'iaile. Jack.
Will you agree to spend your evenings
at home?"
"Uless your heart, Lulu, I'll tire you
to death staying at home of evenings!
So, now''
"No! Not yet. Jack! One thing more.
Will you promise to go to church with
me every time I ask you to go?"
"Kr yes, I'll promise even that."
With a cemtented little slg?) she laid
her head on his broad shoulder.
