rise to considerable apeciinitloii. It Is
probably due to tlie fart that the l'l<-
rninlans were for centuries a fighting
people. In the taiddle ages tbey were

descended upon Kurope, they seeia to
have turned Instinctively to warlike
sports to keep alive the fighting spirit
among the people. In view of recent
developments, the recourse would layd-
ly appear to have been a success.—
