confusion therein. He had landed nt

to a rural village, where he found a
charmingly old fashioned inn which
delighted his soul. It was late when
he arrived, and when be asked what
he cculd have for supper the buxom
landlady suggested minced collops. He
agreed with enthusiasm, the dish
sounded so romantic, so Robin Hoodsy,
so almost mediaeval. And what do

Bread In Sweden.
In Sweden the bread of the people Is
for the most part hard, thin as a din
ner plate and about the size of one. It
Is baked without yeast, and the water
is practically all extracted In the proc
ess of baking; hence, relatively per
pound of bread, its cost is much high
er than in tbe common forms of bread
as we know them, containing one-half
their weight in water that has cost
nothing. ' Loaf bread and rolls in Swe
den are a luxury.

SAVAGE ATHLETICS.
Canary Islanders Who Would Have
Made Good Ball Players.
In this age of athletics one might
think that no people ever showed so
much Interest In feats of muscular
might and skill as those who have per
fected football, but modern games,
and even the games of the Greeks at
Olympia, may have been more than
matched by the sports of peoples now
held In light esteem. We bave the ac
counts of excellent authorities for the
contention that the athletic training of
Canary Islanders makes even the col
lege giants of today seem weak and
effemiuate. -
These Islands came Into subjection,
to Spain about the time Columbus dis
covered America. The conquest was
due solely to the superiority of Euro
pean weapons rind not to better skill
and prowess. Native soldiers were
trained athletes developed uuder a sys
tem that held athletic sports to be an
Important business, like military drill.
Spanish chronicles have left accounts
of sports of the Islanders. From baby
hood they were trained to be brisk in
self defense. As soon as tbey could
toddle the children were pelted with
mud balls that they might learn how
to protect themselves. When they were
boys stones and wooden darts were
substituted for bits of clay.
In this rough school tbey acquired
the rudiments of warfare which en
abled them during their wars to catch
In their bands the arrows shot from
their enemies' crossbows.
After tbe conquest of tbe Canaries si
native of tbe islands was seen at Se
rine who, for a silver piece, let a man
throw at blm as many stoaes as he
pleased from a distance of eight paces.
Without moving his left foot be avoid
ed every stone.
Another native used to defy any one
to burl an orange at bim with so great
rapidity that be could not catch it.
Three men tried this, each wltb a dor.ea
oranges, and the Islander caught every
orange. As a further test be hit hla
antagonists wltb each of tbe oranges.

A BRAVE GIRL
Her Terrible Experience While an a
Smuggling Expedition.
This tale of heroism displayed by a
young woman engaged in smuggling
contraband goods over the Swiss-Italian
border comes from Geneva: "Mile.
Porettl. aged eighteen, and her broth
er, aged twenty-three, left Swiss terri
tory to cross the Baldisco pass carry
ing contraband goods into Italy. On
the summit they were overtaken by a
violent snowstorm and were soon In
deep snow. The Porettis roped them
selves, the youug man leading. They
lost their way, aud while attempting
to find the path Toretti fell through
the snow into a crevasse Into which he
nearly dragged his sister. The girl.
however, planted her ice nx In the
snow and withstood the shock.
"Early the next morning several
smugglers crossing tbe pass from
Swiss territory Into Italian found the
young girl near the-ordinary route tak
en by smugglers and recognized ber at
once, as she belonged to a smuggler's
family nnd lived at Chiaveuua. The
smugglers at once drew up the broth
er, but found that he had died during
the thirteen hours bis sister had held
him by the rope. He had received se
vere injuries In the bead, and his body
was frozen.
"The smugglers carried down the
brave girl, who was almost uncon
scious, as well as the dead body of her
brother, and notified! tbe Porettl family
at Chiavenna. On reaching tbe valley
tbe girl had recovered sufficiently from
her terrible experience to explain that
she and her brother had spoken for
several hours after the accident and at
last he had said that he felt nothing
and wanted to sleep.
"A warm night followed the snow
storm, or two dead bodies would have
been found. Under the great strain
tbe rope bad cut through the girl's
clothes and ber waist was bleeding
when she was rescued." Chicago

MISERY AIDING MISERY.
The Helping Hand Among the Beach
Combers ef Marseilles.
Harry A. Franck In "A Vagabond
Journey Around the World" writes of
tbe trying times when he was a beach
comber In Marseilles: "Long, hungry
days passed, days in which I could
scarcely withstand tbe temptation to
carry my kodak to tbe mont de plete
(pawnshop) just off tbe sailors' square.
Among tbe beach combers there were
dally some who gained a few francs by
an odd job, by tbe sale of an extra
garment or by 'grafting,' pure and
simple. When bis band closed on a
bit of money the stranded fellow may
bave been weak wltb fasting, yet this
first thought was not to gorge himself,
but to share his fortune with bis com
panions under hatches. In those bleak
November days many a man ranked a
worthless outcast by his more fortu
nate fellow beings toiled all day at the
coal wharfs of Marseilles and tramped
back, cold and hungry, to the Tlace
Victor Gelu to divide his earnings wltb
other famished miserables whom be
had not known a Jveck before.
'More than one man sold, to? only
shirt he owned to feed a new arrival
who was an absolute stranger to all.
These men won no prolse, for their
benefactions. They expected none and
would have opened their eys in wonder
if they had been told that their actions
were worthy of praise. The stranded
band grew to be a corporate body. By
a Job here and there I contributed my
share to the common fund, and be
tween us we fought off gaunt starva
tion. "In a dirty alley just olT the place
was an inn kept by a Greek In which
one could sletp on the floor at 3 sous
or in a cot at 0. and every evening a
band of ragged mortals might have
been seen dividing the earnings of
some of them Into three sou lots as
tbey made their way toward 'L'Au

your opinion of my plays and you an

Why, I should feel like the poor lady

" 'Your eyes are such a heavenly
