IN BRAVE DAYS OF OLD. THE OLYMPIAN GAMES OP ANCIENT GREECE. They Embraced Leaping, Foot-Racing, Wrestling. Itnxing, Chariot-Raring, and Various Gymnastic F.xorcises—Tlio Box ing Was Not According to Qtieenshurrj Rules. (JHE oft-quoted phrase of the Latin poet, "Mens saua in cor pora sano" —a sound miud in a strong bodj —expresses tersely tho value of physical culture and the inter dependence of men tal and physical strength. But the value of bodily strength and dexter ity, great as it is, has in our day, especially, perhaps, in England, been somewhat ex aggerated. Boys have been more anxious to be good oarsmen than good scholars, and to play in tho cricket eleven or win the 100-yaid race than to be at the head of their class. The undue importance attached to athletic prowess was doubt less the result of a reaction against the almost complete absence of tho means of bodily training and exercise in the schools of a century or two ago. But the clear-sighted Greeks in this, as in so many other matters, drew distinctions of which we in later days have somewhat loßt sight. Bodily exercises were classi fied by the Greeks in three groups: Gym nastic, agnostic, and athletic. Of all the public exhibitions of gym nastic exercises in ancient Greece the Olylnpic games were by far the most fam ous, and an account of them will serve to explain the nature of Greek sports. They were first established in the year 776 B. and were not finally discontinued until about 40!) A. D. They were held Once in every five years at Olympia, a small town in tho province of Elis, on the western coast of Moroa. Mou of dis tinction termed hellonodikrc (judges of the Hellenes or Greeks), clad in purple robes, presided over the games. None but free-born Greeks were allowed to offer SCRAPING WITH A STRIGEL. tliti* elves as competitors, and in order that none might be kept away by war or political disturbances a general truce be tween all the cities of Greece was pro claimed and safe conduct to and from tho games insured to all competitors. Tho first competition was a sprint race of 125 yards, and to this were added from time to time wrestling, discus-throwing, box ing, and chariot-racing. Tho running track was called a stadium and was a little more than GOO feet in length. Tho original race w.ts once up the course, but in time races of double tho course were added, and we hear of races twelve, twenty, or twenty-four courses, tho last making a distance of about 3,000 yards. There were short races for boys of half a courso. As regards speed it is very doubtful whether the Greeks equaled tho perform ances of modern days. From what has been said of the fieshinoss and grossness of athletes and from representations on vases, which show us men running with their arms spread out—to incroase their speed, ns the German commentators say quaintly enough—we may fairly conject ure that their performances were moder ate, as regards time. Tho Greeks had no means of taking the time of races at all accurately, and ran merely to see which competitor came in first, and not to beat records. Many instances of very long runs are recorded in Groek history, but these are, of course, tests of wind and endurance and not of speed. As the runners wore no clothes it was impossible to distin guish them in any other way than by means of a herald, who proclaimed tho name and city of each competitor as he advanced to the starting post. Tho races were run iu heats of four, and the man who drew a bye was thus often Raved a treat. Tho winner of the final heat re ceived the prize, thore being no second or third premiums. For tho wrestling the body was anointed with oil, and to counteract the too great slipperiness sprinkled with sand. This was dono in a special room of tho gymnasium called tho konistoriuro, or sanaing-room. All kinds of feints and tricks were used in wrestling, and many things were permitted which modern rules do not allow. The contest was begun with tho competitors standing upright, hut was continued after they wore on the ground. A mnn was not defeated until ho had been three times thrown. In the group shown WEARING THE CESTUS. in tho cut one of tho wrestlers has his leg twisted around the log of his antago nist, and is forcing his right arm up. The third event was the throwing of the discus, a piece of iron or stone of circular shape, out of the weight of which we have no accurate means of judging. One specimen of a discus has indeed beou found which weighs about four pounds, but we do not know whether it was in tended for the use of boys, youths, or men, by each of which three classes of competitors discs of different woights were employed. The attitude of a discus thrower is very clearly shown in tho famous statue, of which a cut is given, and every pose of which is enumerated in a passage of Statius. describing a con test of this kind. Tho distance to which a discus was thrown is also doubtful, though one author does mention a throw of 100 cubits (150 feet) as a fine one. Javelin-throwing was performed at first with sharp-pointed spears, and was in tended as a preparation for actual war fare, but in the latter times pointiest spears were used. For throwing at n mark, however, it is probable that light spears with points woro employed. Disc, throwing thus tested strength and dis tance of throw, and javelin-throwing ac curacy of aim. The leaping was probably what we uow call tho broad of lnna tnmn for mnntion is maue ot a certain Pnajlius who jumped "beyond the dug ground" (which was lumen up wnn a spade tnat the point reached by the jumper might easily be seen), clearing a distance of fifty feet. This was probably a standing jump, and as tho modern jumper can, with a run, olear only twenty or twenty-one feet, it is perfectly incredible. To assist them in standing jumps, the Greeks carried in choir hands pieces of metal or dumb-bells. The five enumerated contests formed the Pentotblum or five-fold competition, and the prize, according to one authority, was awarded to him ouly who had been victorious in all. According to Mr. Ma- WRESTLING ON FOOT. uany victory in tnree contests was sum cient. but it appears that sometimes the running and wrestling were omitted, and it may have been on these occasions that three successes constituted a victory. The most dangerous sports of all re main to be considered—the boxing and the pancratium. Greek boxers were not content to use the naked fists, but bound their hands and wrists with leather thongs. Later on these thongs, which were termed mild or gentle, were studded with pieces of metal, and then the blow must have been frightful, though inten tional killing of one's adversary was not commended. It seems that, though great skill, endurance, and courage must have been required for such contests, the Greeks did not understand the scientific principles of boxing. We road of a boxer getting up on his toes in order to deal a deadly blow upon the fop of his adver sary's head, and a boxer was commonly spokou of as a man "with his ears crushed." A most terrible contest is related by Pausanias. Two boxers of great skill and strength could neither of them get at the other, and therefore agroed to receive a blow turn and turn about. The first struck his adversary full on top of the head, while tho other drove his fingers into his adversary's stomach and pulled out his entrails. The dying man was crowned victor, on tho ground that the five-fingered blow was a foul one. After the competitors had thrown each othor the contest was continued on tho ground, and sometimes combatants were choked or had their fingers and toes broken. The pancratium was the lowest and most brutal of Greek sports and was not in favor with the Spartans, who con sidered it, as well they might, an un gentlemunlike business. Of smaller and less violent exercises we may mention ball-playing, which was much recommended by Greek physicians. PANCRATIASTS. It was practiced by men, boys, women, and girls in a part of tho gymnasium specially reserved for it. The balls varied considerably in size, and the rules for the various games were numerous. Bathing was much indulged in by tho Greeks, and hot, cold, and vapor baths were attached to the gymnasia. After violent exercise the athletes scraped off the dust and oil with 6trigels or scrapers of metal or bone. Tho cut shows an nthlete thus engaged. Warm baths were taken in the public ox privato bath-houses as refreshment aftei tho day's fatigue. The Olympic victor, in early times at any rate, received very substantial re wards. He won a money pr.zo of con siderable value, and was welcomed back to his native city as a hero and enter tained in its town hall by tho dignitaries of the state. Tho great sculptors of the day executed his statue, and poets snug his praises in odeH which in some in stances have become immortal. But in later days public opinion altered very much in this regard. Tho polished Greek oamo to value intellectual strength more than physical, and to esteem mental gym nastics more than bodily exorcise. The severe training for prize-winning became more and more exacting, and tended to usurp an athlete's whole attention, to the exclusion of more liberal culture. Athletes fell into disrepute in much tho same manner ns professional runners, boxers, and scullers have dono at tho present day. Tho athleto was no match for the polished thrusts of the philoso pher's wit, and his heaviness, dullness, and stupidity were a constaut target for the comic poet's subtle humor. Another argumont against athleticism was tho brutalizing tendency of such contests as tho pancratium, in which the vanquished competitor was put to tho humiliation of suing for mercy at the victor's hands. Finally we may say that though tho pancratiast at auy rate was not much above tho level of the modern prize fighter the Greeks contrived, by the com bination of literary and musical con tests with physical and by tho aid of sculpture and poetry, to throw around their games an unequaled splendor. Tho greatest painters and sculptors found their models and the greatest poets their heroes among the competitors at tho Olympic games. LETTERS FROM THE CORNERS.

How to Dress for the Hall. dancing dress jjSsS'to-day is a thing of (Bk.l gauze and othor 'TnSr 0 Glimmer of gauze I and sheen of silk W wi I are * or ie time §L ve ded by materials like the flimsy fr*" l *' l * l of Indian w cave, "floating air" and "woven mist." but made in HaDaß the land of France, and called by the less poetic name of chiffongnes. A few dresses for married ladies are made of brocades and satiu, but for young women the embroidered liases and tulles, or tho spangled gauze, which look as if they might have belonged to tho wardrobe of an Oriental princess, are made into graceful dancing gowns called "Josephine dresses," with sim ple), straight full skirts of gauze over satin, and low, square-necked bodices, which might have been modeled after tho familiar portraits of the beautiful Empress. Tho severe style of this dress, with its high sash of soft surah, is consid ered especially suitable for a debutante, though in such a case the square neck is veiled with lace. There is a decided objection among mothers to the adop tion of tho extreme decollete styles worn by tho older women of society, by girls in their first or second season. In many cases tho evening bodice for young girls is merely pointed and filled in with lace, while the sleeve is entirely omitted or is an elbow sleeve. Other dresses for young ladies are draped with figured net or gauze and caught up with rosettes and garlands of ribbons in tho flat effect now usu ally sften. His Voice Charmed Her. Joe Mik, the Burlington depot pas senger caller, is noted for his sweet toned voice and lamb-like disposition. Among tho passengers at the depot, yesterday, was Miss Jennie Smith, the railroad temperance evangelist. She kept an eye on Joe, and noticed all hi. J good traits, not mentioning his good looks. Presently tho Eastern train was about duo and Joe, in his bland, urbane manner, advanced to tho center of the room and in a silvor-toncd tenor voice, sang out "All aboard for Plattsmouth, Pacific Junction, Red Oak, Burlington, Peoria, Chicago and all points east. Passengers will now pass out to the cars and secure tlioir seats, as the train leaves in fifteen minutes." Joe started to retreat when Miss Smith, in an enraptured tone, ap proached him and exclaimed: "Oh, you dear, lovely man! What a lovely voice you have to sing praises unto heaven. Won't you please come to my meetings and sing for us ?" Joe is very bashful, but this flattery was too much and ho promised to go.— Railroad Gazette.

Vet we never hear of a human retina that includes in its vision those colors depending on vibra tions of the ether which are too slow or too rapid for our ordinary eyes, nor of a human ear which is entranced with music that to the great majority of our species is absolutely inaudible. Again, we never hear of a human being who could perform the feat, of which we were told only re cently, of a bloodhound. In a dark night it followed up for three miles the trail of a thief, with whom the bloodhound could never have been in contact (he had just purloined some rolls of tan from the tan yard in which the dog was chained up), and iinally sat down under the tree in which the man had taken refuge.
