Egyptians cau ‘lie down and go to sleep anywhere. They look around un- til they find a particularly busy place in the street where there is a patch of shade, wrap a dusty cloth around their faces, curl up and peacefully glide oft into a dreamless sleep. In walking along the street one has to be careful of every splotch ‘of shadow that he" comes to for fear of stepping on a na- tive's face; Even when you do step on ‘this usually sensitive part of the anat- omy they merely sit up, yawn thank- fully that you are a medium sized man and lazily turn over on the other side. *As soon as an Egyptian finds out that 4 person is an American his first breath- less question Is, “Will there be many Americans coming over this winter?” High and low, merchants and donkey boys, they ask the same question, for balf of Egypt lives on the tourists, and the greatest number of these are from the United States. — Homer Croy in Leslie’s. A Matter of Distances. Why did Homer call the Dardanelles “broad” or “boundless,” although at the point where Leander and Byron swam it the breadth is barely a mile?, Byron's comment is very neat: “The wrangling about the epithet, ‘the broad Hellespont.' or the ‘boundless Helles- pont, whether it means one or the other, or what it means at all, has been beyond all possibility of detail. 1 have even heard it disputed on the spot and, not foreseeing a speedy conclusion to the controversy, amused myself with swimming ‘across it in the meantime and probably may again before the point is settled. * * * Probably Ho- mer had the same notion of distance that a coqliette has'of time,.and when he talks of boundless means half a mile, as the - latter, by a like figure, when she ‘says eternal attachment. simply specifies three weeks.”—London Spectator. i Pioneer Wani Ads Pay. _wrote to Lord Panmure, “that the pe The Victoria Cross.

Instantaneous photograpbs of one famous specimen showed the full-length of a complete stride to be about twenty-six feet. The hare has not, in reality, the speed of the dog. The dog. on the other hand, does not attain the speed of the horse. The giraffe is said to run at the rate of fifteen yards per second un- der the most favorable conditions.

[\ ’ HRHHKKKKKKKKK KKK * DIAMOND GOSSIP * IR R S R R RS R By HAL SHERIDAN. More and more, as the opening day draws near, does it appear as though the Giants and Braves were going o stage a merry little war all by them- selves for the National league pen- nant. All there is to it—they are the class of the league and from this angle there doesn’t seem to be a team in the Tener circuit that has even a chance to cheat them out. Crities who a few weeks ago were howling that McGraw didn’t have a pitching staff are strangely silent now. Crities who at the close of the last season were howling that his in- field was shot to pieces, crawled into their holes when the Little Napoleon went out and grabbed Honus Lobert. They burrowed still deeper when he went out and grabbed himself Pol Perritt. Mathewson, Tesreau, Perritt, Chalmers, does it look? Rudolph, Tyler, James, Hess, Da- vis, Crutcher—how does it look? If there are any other six teams in the league boasting of such ag- gregations they have yet to blare forth. Getting down to hair line distinc- tions—on paper—the Giants even seem to have the edge on the hated Bostonites. Comparisons, -however, are odious, as was proven quite con- clusively last October when the dope- sters began comparing Schmidt to Mclnnis, Deal to Baker, and Gowdy to Schang. Schmidt, Evers, Maranville and Smith, against Merkle, Doyle, Flet- cher and Lobert, Magee, Connolly and Moran against any three of the following — Robertson, Snodgrass, Thorpe, Burns or Murray, Gowdy and Whaling against McLean, Myers and Smith. If the foregoing battle fronts don’t offer_pre-season -prospects of the hot- test little fracas in the history of the Marquard, Fromme—how |grand old game then all dope is use- less, and the dopesters should be sent to Belgium. 5 The weakness of the Giants last year was attributed to lack of an- other good pitcher and a weakness at third. Both have been filled—and most ably. Weakness of the Braves —if there are any—was in their hit- ting. Sherwood Magee, slugger par excellence, was added. Now, if the anvil chorus will just join in on “Just Before the Battle Mother,” we’ll let out bets on the Giants and Braves against the field stick from April to October.
