SPEED.

I have been reading about the motor- cycle races in the Isle of Man, says Mr. John Blunt, where one competitor attain- ed a speed of nearly a hundred miles. nn bour down hill, and it has set me wondering why it is that speed has, in itself, such an attraction for mankind.
Whether it is the exhilaration it co- genders or the feeling of conquering nature or the desire to break records which makes great speed so attractive. I do not know, int it certainly is curiously attractive.

ART OF BUTTING STILL.

As his clubs are unusually long for so small a man. freestem of swing is res tricted. His putting is also very weak and merrain, and wil he putts Far better than he is already doing he will fn never win another championship. toms of despair he sail to 1 can not putt."

CAPTURE OF A MERMAID
A Siamese paper, published at Barg kok, states that about twenty days ago a fisherman living at Tharabel Krok Krk, Tacheen. while casting his net in the sen seized a young mermaid. It is described as having long golden coloured hair, a face akin to a monkey, handa and fingers like a monkey and heing very hairy about its body. The lower part of the body has a long tail. When the cap- ture was effected the Esherman did not take the mermaid out of the net, but look it wrapped up to his house. About two or three days later seven villagers went. down to the sea to dive for oysters and five of them have disappeared. The story goes tant the mother of the captured mermaid has taken revenge and killer those who went to the sen to gather oysters. It is also stated that at night time now is heard a wailing sound of the mother of the young mermaid.
