?ttcogulsed t he secret of oucc?tt? lo
EJJpgg military when they called
ELjr armies exercitu*. bodies of
?drilled or exer?i*ed wen.
Inuring the Middle Agaa It wa?
? the custom of princes and even of i
? wealthy burghers, to keep ruunara
? who followed their carriage* afoot
| while the horse* were going at full
?gallop- Fttst runuera wer* In great

?qualify their children for a position
? of that sort they began to train
?them from the earlleat childhood,
Eaklog them undergo a singular op-|

Epieen, which wua supposed to have
E? jnfluence upon the vigor of the
llUDgU.
[ From the town of Puebla, in Mex
mMt a sandy road lead* across the
?hiJI? to the Valley, of Amovoc. Har
Ky In the morning that road la
?crowded with Indian , pedd.hprs and
Euckstena, who carry Afiavy baskets
En their backs. They frequently
Eoms from a distance of ten or
Eweke miicH, but make the whole
Erip at a sharp trot and without a
Elngle stop, v Their children trot at
Ehelr sides, carrying email bundles
Er bags, and thus learn their trade
Eo gradually that they hardly feel
Ebe hardships of it.
j |t seems curious that a small,
Ehort-legged dog can a* a general
Ebiog outrun the tallest man. This
Eas not always been the case, An
Eatrlch proves that two lega can go
Eg fast as four. Want of exercise
?a man probably accounts for the
Br^iole difference.
| Lifting weights has always been
E favorite exercise for tho lungs.
?There is a story Of a Grecian Sam
Eon, the athlete Milo of Crotona,
Eho day after day carried a calf
E"*U>d the arena and gained in
strength hh the calf gained In
Weight until finally ho could carry
a steer. We may well doubt, whoth*
ev the 8to?;i was quite full grown.
There is. however, a case on record,
npparently well authenticated, to
the effect that one Wintblp of lJofpj
tou, practiced with dumb -bells ui^d
bagful* of pin iron uutll he waa able
to lift (though oi*ly for a mouunt)
'th? weight of the heaviest steer in
Text*#.
1 In oountrles where they still rely
on the strength of their limbh, is
in Turkey, Hungary and Afghanis
tan, there are pleuty of men earn
ing. their bread by common labor
Vho could astonish the so-called,
athletes of the rest of the world.
A turklsb porter will shoulder a
box which the driver of an Ameri
can express wagon would hesitate
to tackle without assistance. In
one of the Fghan wars the native
wtarrlors carried cannon to a battery
I on the top of artiltl from where the
English soidiorriy-Were unable to car
ry them down again..
The foot soldiers of the Turkish
Janizaries had to drill in full ar
mor," run, wrestle and evej* swim
without removing the iron equip
ments. Such a value did their drill
masters set upon the influence of
early training that they would nev
er, accept a recruit of more than
twelve years of age. TlfcfrSe cadets
were exercised for years, like the
sons of the oldSpartans, before they
?"were assigned to actual duty, and
the result was that tjwTT*fc?4&aries
repeatedly defeated the armies , of
Western Europe.
,,The ancient Greeks managed to
train not only their troops but the
whole nation by offering liberal
prizes for profioiency in all kinds of
bodily exercise, such as running,
leaping, lifting, spear-throwing and
wrestling. At a distance of sixty
yards, their spearmen could hit a
target- with unfafllng certainty.

"I'm too sensitive! I sympathise so
with otbera and It Juat hreaka my

"There goea Sadie," aald her friend
In a shrill whisper, clutching her arm.
"Down the aide aiale ? with the feath
er. Doesn't ahe know that wlllowa
have gone out? Who's it with her?"
The girl with the payche knot turn
ed aolemn eyea upon the queationer.
"If It isn't Tom?" ahe got out. "And
the laat time I aaw her ahe aald that
ahe'd never have anything ihore to do
with him if he waa the lam man on
earth!" \
"Wait till I get hold of hiin!" gun
gled the girl with the chatelalnV "Did
n't I call him up yestlddy and as*
him to drop In thla afternoon and
we'd take a walk-? and didn't he aay
he waa aorry, but he had to work?
Slighting me for Sadie! I bet ahe aa(
him to bring her to the matinee to
day! I'd never bint aucb a thing if
I died for It! Of course, B&ost any
man if you ast him ? to go walking
would 8uggeat dropping In to see a
show of something, but that's hia bUBi*
neaa."
"I'm going to get soma chocolates/'
said the girl with the payche knot.
"Yea, I am-? you got aome the last
time. 1 like those aoft, squashy ones,
don't you? There goes the curtain!"
"I simply can't talk," declared the
girl with the psycho knot, at the end
of- the first act. "I never was so ef
fected in my life. It was all I could
do to keep from crying and I didn't
want to because J knew this act
couldn't be half aa sad aa the , rest
and I didn't want to get. stalled .80
eoon!"
"It's the next pet that'a the worst,"
explained the girl with the chatelaine.
"Isabel went and ahe aald S|toe Just
cried -on Harry's shoulder. She said
ahe couldn't help it and she didn't
care If people did aee him put hia arm
around her to quiet her!"
"Pooh! Isabel would weep at a
plate of breakfast food is ahe could
get Harry to make love to her," com
mented, the girl with the payche knot.
"It'a all make-believe with her. It'a
different with me ? I feel ao Intensely
that it makes me downright ill. I'm
all used up after a play like this ?
-there goea the curtain!" ?
."Wba'd I tell you!" triumphantly
whispered the girl with the chatelaine
five minutes' later. "Ain't It Just
heartrending?"
"D-d-don't t-t-alk!" sobbed the girl
with the payche knot, sopping her
eyes. '"It is perfectly awful, it la so
sad! I can't stop the tears!"
"I knew you'd like It," pursued her
friend in a satisfied tone. "Listen to
that!"
0 "It's Juat dreadful!" wept the first
girl. "W-w-wlH von g-g-get m-m-my
other handk-erchlpf-f?, dear? I am eO
blinded I can't see!"
, "Try to control yourself," said her
-ffiend, sym pathetically. '<
"Mm-most people c-o-ould," implied
the weeping one, "but 1 am so tender
h-h-hearted! Isn't It nearly over? I
simply can't stand much mere of it!
1 never aaw anything ao beautifully
sad, did you?"
"Aren't you glad you came?", de
manded her friend. "If It hadn't been
; for me you'd have gone to that old
comic thing inatead of to aomothlng
where you really could enjoy your
selH" v
"Mercy, I'm glad that act's over!"
said the weeping one, giving her face
a final dab. .
As the lights went up there was a
startled scream from the girl with the
chatelaine hag an^ every one near
turned around- to look. Then they
laughed. The girl with the psyche
knot sat red 4y?d and unconcerned.
. "I thought something awful had.hap
pened to you at first," said the girl
with the chatelaine bag. "People's
hair tur^s white from grief or shock,
so I thought complexions might change
the same way ? In your excitement
you've been mopping. your face with

disciple to recognise 1 this supreme
! standard and to gauge his thoughts
and words und doings thereby.

t h o I o h 8 their
wordH and conduct In ttio present life
will all advantage or disadvantage
them In the life to come. In this sec
ondary way all mankind aside from
the Church, the consecruted - may l>e
measurably enlightened by the Mas
ter's teachings In this lesson.
The im tli of love Is, as Jesus do
scribes It", under present conditions, a
"narrow way;" difficult Is the way of
life now open. Only the saintly few
will be willing to walk there, and only
the.se will gain the great I'rlze,. "the
pearl of great price," jolnt-hclrship in
{rfesshih's Kingdom. Hearken! Do not
merely observe the (loldeu ltule toward
your enemies, but love them, and "do
g^>od to them that hate you." to
The Master's expression. "Unto him
that smtyeth thee on the one cheek of
.fer also the other," Is to l>e taken as
signifying simply, I)o not render fcvll
for evil, even though lie smite thee on
the ot her cheek also. Our Lord Himself
when smitten, according to tbo report,
did not invite the smiting of the other
pheek. but defended llimsdlf to the ex
tent of criticising the evil deed. But
if lie had beeu smitten on the other
ctepke also, let us not for a moment
think that He would have resisted,' In
the sense of rendering blow for blow.
The next statement is more compre
hensively given ljy St. Matthew. "If
any man sue thee at the law and take
awav .thy coat, withhold not thy cloak
also. The follower of Jesus may flee
froth au adversary, or he may resist
him to the extent of propel expostulo
tlon, but he is to he thoroughly re
sponsive to all government; if the court
decides that his coat and his cloak
shall both be taken from him, he shall
"unnrarnraringly -submit, even? though
he realize that such a procedure would
be ,ynjust and quite at variance with
the Divine regulation. Saint Paul as
well 38 Jesus used argument in his
owjj defense, not only with the mobs,
but also before judges; but they resist
ed the law? never.
"Give to everyone ttiat asketh of
thee, and of him that taketh away thy
goods ask them not again." The broad
est interpretation we could consistent
Wtuen smitten, il(<i not

ly give . to this
Would be? Be ten
der hearted, err
on the sldo of too
great generosity
rather than to bp
hard-heartettrseir
lsh. The Lord
could , not have
meant us to take
Ills , words with
absolute literal
ness; as for In
stance, Qive * 1
child a razor if it cries for it; or, Give
money to the dissipated, that they
may injure themselves still more. The
spirit of a sound mind forbids that we
should understand the Master to teach
that we should do anything for an
other that would be really to his In
Jury. "As ye would that men should
do unto you, do ye also to them like
wise." Very evidently our Lord was
setting up His teachings in contrast
with the cbaxlms of the Pharisees, the
holiness people of that day. To love
another, because he loved us, or to give
to another In the hope that he frould
equally befriend us, would have noth
ing creditable in it

The work} during Messiah's Kingdom
will be under instruction and lessons,
which will include mercy, and an as

perfection by the close of the Kingdom..
But the Church class, now called out.

character development, and since they
