seen that the Howard crew have 3 heavy
coxsw vain no carry, and tremendous pre-
pond derance of weight in their stroke side to
overcome. knowing ones say that they
can't keep up with a boat in that trim.
With that. this reporter has nothing to do:
he ST mply states facts. The Howard crew
have weight and power, and rely not much
upon skill. They are untaught. and. if sue
cessful. will owe their triumph to main
siren 9Th and themselves.
Tie stroke of the other crews is kept
dark. People assert that the Riversides
will content themselves with the victory in
the shell contest. They feel assured by
theit long reach. easy stroke and quick re-
cove that they can overlap and last
lona er than any contestant they may meet.
The name adopted by the Howard Club for
their gig boat is the "Charles T. Howard"
The several steamers chartered for the
.occa sion will leave at an early hour in the
afte rnoon, for the first race will be called at
four o'clock precisely.
The reporters and judges will take pas
sage on the tugboat Charlie Woods; pas
sengers and invited guests will have other
means of transportation.
II should not be omitted that in the pair
cared race the Pelicans, Orleans and LOU
isia ha clubs stand about even in the pools.
Tomorrow morning pool selling will be
con tinued at the Regatta Saloon, No. 80 St.

A Spectacular Triumph.

Lucy Hooper, describing 1.-THE King
dom of Neptune the new act OF Often
bach's "Orphee says in her Paris
letter to the Philadelphia Press:
Zone of the scenes-the sunken city
is actually poetic in its beauty, and
realizes these lines by Mrs. Hemans:
Island has filed up the palaces of old.
Scaweed o'ergrOwn the halls Of revelry
"The effect of gliding water in this
scene was beautifully produced by
means of two screens of game, painted
to re present water with numerous shin
ing fishes in it, which screens were
drawn slowly across the stage in OPP o.
site directions. The coloring and the
grouping of the various costumes were
also very artistic, some OF the corps de
ballet representing group of those
odd little creatures called sea-horses
and others the wildly tinted and gor-
geous angeI-fish of tropical waters.
There was also band of dancers Co.'S
tuned il pale pink satin and silver, the
like of which fishes, think, were never
beheld in the waters of any earthly sea.
When in the midst of these glittering
groups there rose from the waves gigan-
tic shell with glistening lining of mother
ofpearl, wherein reposed the white-rObed
form of the new and young dGn8eu8e,
Nile. Roselli, the picture-the Birth
of the Pearl was one of exceeding
loneliness. The new Italian dancers
are not in any respect better than their
French predecessors, but they are
mostly very young, and some of them
very pretty. The house was jammed,
and O3phee seems to have taken q new
lease OF success, which it well deserves,
every one of the superb costumes which
are worn in it having been renewed, so
that 'Diana's white and silver dra-
perry and 'PIuto's' scarlet and gold
embroidered satin are as freah as on the
night of the first representation"

Good Economists,

French people have a knack of max
ing a little go a great way. In the first
place, not an ounce of food is wasted
in harvesting or preparing for market.
In the next place, not an ounce more of
vegetables, flesh, fish or fowl, grocer
les or liquids, than is generally needed,
ever goes into the pot or kettle, or is
placed on the table. The wife of every
French family knows to a nicely what
quantity Of each kind of food is
the least that will suffice to make a
comfortable meal, and not a particle
more than that is cooked or served.
There are no slop-buckets fnll of bro
ken victuals left on table, after break
fast or dinner, to be thrown on the
street or manure heap, or flung to dogs
or swine, as in America. No pieces OF
bread or meat or vegetables, are thrown
away: such quantities are not bought
rs to become stale or spoiled in the cell
lar or pantry. Servants are never per-
mitted to waste or steal food for poor
relations as in America. The house
wife looks after the marketing, her kitch-
en-, and her pantry. with sharp eyes and
unfagging care. The economy IN the
constitution of fuel for cooking and
housewarmiDg is immense as compared
with that in our wasteful country. One
reason, of course, is, that wood and
coal in France are scarce and dear.
They cost at least double the price paid
therefor in the United States but the
domestic consumption is not one quarter
as much.

Died Suddenly of Heart Disease.

How common is the announcement. Thou
sands are suddenly swept into eternity by this
fatal maady. This disease generally has it's
origin in impure blood filled with irritating,
poisonous materials, which, circulating through
the heart, irritate its delicate tissues. Though
the irritation may at first be only slight, pro-
ducing little paIpitation or irregular action,
or dull, heavy, or sharp darting pains, yet by
and by the disease becomes firmly seated, and
inflammation, or hypertrophy, or thickening
of the lining membrane or of the valves, is
produced. How wise to give early ATTENTION
TO a case Of thu s kind. Unnatural throbbing
or pain in the region of the heart should adj
monish one that all is not right. and if you
would preserve it from further disease, you
must help it to beat rightly by the use of such
a remedy as wilt remove the cause of the
trouble. Use DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery before the disease has become too
seated, and it will, by its great blood purifying
and wonderful regulating propert es, effect a
perfect cure. 1t contains medicinal properties
which act specifically upon the tissues Of the
heart, bringing about healthy action. Sold

The bishop of Orleans, whose recent
journey to Rome was undertaken for the
purpose of obtaining the papal consent
to the canonization of JOaR of Arc, has
now taken all the preliminary steps re-
quired in such case, and it is expected
that the decree declaring the Maid Of
Orleans n saint will shortly be issued.
The statement prepared by the bishop
sets forth forty reasons why she should
be beatifed. The principal are :
Her goodness to the poor during her
childhood F.; her natural piety and atten-

What pang Of sweet emotion
Thrilled the master of the ring
When he first beheld the lady

Midway in his wild grimacing
stopped the piebsld-visaged clown
And the thunders Of the audience
Nearly brought the gallery down.
And she beckoned for her courser,
And they brought a milk-white mare.
Proud, ween was that Arabian,
Such 8 gentle freight to bear;
And the master moved to greet her,
With proud and stately walk,
And, in reyeTential homage,
Rubbed her scle5 with VII gin chalk.

I saw one of those desperadoes get q
nice dose of quiet courage and stern
will at this time, 1867. I had had occa-

wait for the train. My abiding place
was one of those dining tents, where I
had taken meal in the meantime.
Among the several persons seated
around, one evidently was very raw.
His dress was semi-clerical. and as he
held forth in no constrained manner
about "the terrible sin" and " Babylon

hearing enjoyed, in an uncouth way,
poking small chaff at him. In the

Cholera and Birds.

German naturalists, says the London
Globe, have called attention to new
incident with regard to the outbreak of
epidemics. It is on record that an ex-
traordinary fight of birds has occurred
simultaneously with the appearance OF
the disease. The occasions have been so
numerous and in so many different
countries that it is impossible to regard
the coincidence as merely accidental.
Thus, so far back as the year 1913, birds
of all kinds deserted the towns of st.
Petersburg and Riga, and it was in that
year that the cholera broke out. The
epidemic proceeded in its westward
course the following year, and the same
phenomenon was observed in western
Prussia in 1849, and in Hanover in 1850.
In all these cases the facts were chrOn-
icled as having occurred at the time,
but they were not supposed to have any
relation mutually. But when these
phenomena were more closely observed
by men of science, more accurate de-
tails were given. Thus, it was found
that in the title town of Przemyl, in
Galicia, all the jackdaws took flight
from the streets into the country on the
26th of September, 1872, and that
wards. On the 305h of November these
birds returned from their spontaneous
quarantine, and by that time the last
case of the disease had been recorded.
The same results has been observed in
southern Germany last year. Both
Munich and Nuremberg were visited
by this epidemic in autumn, and in
these towns it was observed not merely
that the larger birds fed from the en-
virOns into the open country, but that
sparrows and swallows deserted the
town. 1t was repetition of the article
in every sailors creed-that rats desert
a sinking ship The inhabitants of
Nuremberg looked with Joy for the re-
turn of the sparrows, who seem to have
arrived as soon as the danger had dis
appeared. Foreign physicians seem to
think the state of the atmosphere when
the poison is in the air has o direct
effect upon the birds, who instinctively
fly from it. But the whole phenomenon
seems capable of a much more simple
solution. It is well known thir G that
during the getting in of the harvest
sparrows and the kinds of birds that
are found in the neighborhood of
towns fly off to the fields. This NAV
be tested much nearer home than Ger
many or western Russia. When the
harvest has been reaped they would
naturally return to the shelter of streets
and houses. Even swallows, though
they do not seek the corn fields for
grain, find the insects which they feed
upon in the fields, and these birds also
return to their town quarters to reas-
semble for their winter flight. The
simple people of Nuremberg and
Bavaria probably accepted as an omen
an event which happened to be coin
cident with the arrival of the dreaded
epidemic, but which, in fact, was of
annual occurrence, and had no real
connection with it.

The other day, as a Detroiter was
riding on the Pontiac road, he came
across an old lady seated in a buggy
which had been halted within a few
yards of the Grand Trunk railroad
track. She seemed to be uneasy about
something, and as he drove up she
asked Say, mister, hain't that en-

He asked her to explain, and she point
