She told him that Jils stock lacked taste. Ho did not argue with her. Ho did not contradict nor. Ho put the things back Into their respective boxes, replaced tho boxes on . their rospoctivo shelves, walked into the little parlor behind tho shop and closed tho door. \Isn't ho over coming back?* asked tho lady after two or three minutes had elapsed. Her tono did not imply n question so much as an exclamation of raoro impatience. \I doubt it,\ I replied.. \Why not}.\ sbo asked, much aston- ished. I \I oxpect,\ I answered, \you have bored htm.

Curling, the game thnj'was for a long time furtively indulged in here by a few braw laddies, has been placed on a substantial footing, with numerous well organised teams and well contest- ed tournaments. Handball has been wrested from tho monopoly of a few professionals, and today a handball court is a popular feature of everjy well equipped athletic club. Discus throw- ing, that the Grecian youthB excelled in at.the Olympian games, has recently become a regularly scheduled feature the food which they contain and which h digested by the peptic fluid. The stomach Is able to digest proteld food when Introduced into It, yet it does not digest Itself. * Tho reason for this has been shown by Vcinland. Weinlaud found that a substance can be extracted from the cells of the stomach which, when add- «d to proteld material, will not allow it to ho acted upon by the pepsin of the stomach. This substance belongs to the class of so called antlferments— that Is, a group of bodies which by their presence inhibit fermentative ac- tions. Tho presence of this antiier- meat in the cells of the stomach, pre- vents them from digesting themselret. After death, when tbh* substance de- composes, tho stomach will digest It- salt _ a boat .NeclUac*. Quantities of ornaments are lost-each year at the drawing rooms or courts at Buckingham palace, and only a xetj small proportion Is recovered. A very strange story Is still told about a diamond necklace which was found at ono of the state- balls some years ago. It happened that one of Queen Victoria's Indies In waiting pick- ed up a diamond necklace from the floor. Aa she stood with it In her .band a lady came quickly forward and claimed it The Bndor was very firm, however, and declared It was her duty to give it In to the lord chamberlain's office, as this was the rule with regard to any- thing found In the palace. The lady protested in vain, but the oddest thing was that this necklace never was claimed and is probably still at the lord chamberlain's office.
