THE DUBLIN MEN.
The Columbias' opponents to-day from
this side of the water in the Stewards Chal-
lenge Cup were the Dublin crew. They
were the favorites, and certainly looked
strong. tough lot as they padded down to
the starting point this afternoon. Their
age and experience gave them great ad-
vantage, most OF them having been oarsmen
for seven or eight years and being picked
from q large number of students. The GUS
tom in the Dublin University is for students
to remain available members of its clubs 80
long as they choose to stay in the city. 1t
will be seen, therefore, that the Americans
had no mers boys to contend with.

TESTING SILKS.

Every woman should understand the
method of testing silks. There are two
ways of doing this. Note the closeness
and evSnness of the rib in it, and hold it
to the light to see this the better. That
shows the texture. Then crush it to tile
hand and release 1t suddenly. Note if it
springs out quickly, and leaves no crease
behind, that is the verve. The quality of
the silk is denoted by the verve. The
Italian silk is the softest in the world, and
often wanting in stiffness of appearance.
The Chinese silk is the poorest and de-
ticient in verve. And again, there is a
great deal of silk manufactured adulterated
with material called jute, which is inter-
woven in the fibre of the elk. This manu-
facture will be found, when tested as l
have named, very deficient i'll verve. 1t is
silk which, if wetted, stiffens almost like
paper.

lof crisp notes. and left so trilipg detail
to his opponent Lazily he took up cue;
he had not played at billiards for some
time, but lie was fond of the game.
"Would the Pasha bet ?" oh, certainly"
and many members took advantage of the
confding disposition of the Oriental The
Pasha won the first game, the second; and
the third-in fact, oil the games. -5
Then ecarte was suggested. It was lato
to begin, but the accommodating Pasha
would play few hands. Again he won;
and when he left his bundle of notes
was augmented by all the currency of the
club.
Perhaps the Pasha would return another
evening, and indulge in the fascinating
diversion OF baccarat2 With the greatest
of pleasure; and an evening or two later
the Pasha and his new friends sat down to
q baccarat bank. Again the currency of
the clab went to swell the formidable bun
die. Would he mind playing against
checks? Not in the least and the checks
joined the bundle. The sun had risen,
and the PHsI'a felt sleepy. Would he give
the losers their revenge? Assuredly, but
another evening; and few nights after
ward the Pasha re"pptared.
Was he come to give the revenge he
had promised? Yes; but before doing so,.
a little accident must he rectilied. Some
of the checks given on the previous even-
ing had by strange fatality been returned
with the words mot sufficient effects'
written on them. The Pasha did not quite
understand tile meaning of the phrase, but
perhaps the drawers would kindly make
good the checks. The P.sha did not play
that evening, and the conc usion is gradu-
ally dawning on the members of the club
that for an unspeaka'le Turk, this Oriental
gentleman is quite as we'll able to take care
of himself as the Heathen Chinee and is
not precisely the good thing" they had
fancied.

ROME In TEIE TaNlE OF EEEI
KINGS.

1t is evident that in the period designated
as that of the Kings, when Rome COM
menced her career of conquest, she was,
for that time and country, great and
wealthy city. This is proved by the works
of the Kings, the Capitoline Temple, the
excavation for the Circus Ma1imus, tie
Servian Wall, and, above all, the Cloaca
Maxima. Historians have indeed under
taken to give us very disparAging picture
of the ancient Rome, which they confidently
describe rs nothing more than a great
village of shingle-roofed cottages, thinly
scattered over a large area. We ask in
vain what are the materials for this
description. 1t is most probable that the
private buildings of Rome under the Kings
were rooted with nothing better than shin
gle, and it is very likely that they were
mean and dirty, as the private buildings of
Athens appear to have been, and as those
OF most of the great cities of the Middle
Ages unquestionably were. But the Cloaca
Maxima is in itself conclusive evidence of
large population, Of wealth, and of not
inconsiderable degree of civilization.
Taking our stand upon this monument
and clearing our vision entirely of Romulus
aud his asylum, we seem dimly to perceive
The existence of a deep prehistoric back
ground, richer than is commonly supposed
in the germs of civilization-a remark
which may in all likelihood be extended to
the background of history in general. Moth
ing surely can be more grotesque than the
idea of set of wolves, like the Morse
pirutes before their conversion to Chris
tinnity, constructing in their d Il the Cloaca
Maxma. That Rome was comparatively
great and wealthy is certain. We can
hardly doubt that she was seat of
industry and commerce, and that the theory
which represents her industry aud COM
merce as having been developed subse-
quently to her conqnests in the reverse Of
the fact. Whence, but from industry and
commerce could the population and the
wealth have come p The Contemporary
Rectew.

TO the peculiar nature of the case this
was favorablX received by the
Court. The Prosecuting Attorney, Mr..
Jenkins, who had won laurels during the
trial, based his opposition to the motion
on grounds very similar to those that
actuated the murder if Hunter be guilty,
to-wit, the mere question of dollars and
cents. One of jenkins principal points
against the motion for a new trial was
that postponement of the execution of
Hunter would involve the State in an
expense Of from $4 to 81 per day. The
question as to the legality of. Hunters
conviction andprospective execution was,
in Mr.. jenkins opinion, secondary to the
matter of expense of board and the new
trial of the accused. There being so
MANY doubtful points about the case the
Court was unmoved by the economic
view of the case, and concluded to incur
the expense by granting Hunter new
trial.

The most casual survey of history will
show how tyranously the emotions have
coerced Judgment; how the roniance of
history has blinded justice; how nations
have been duped by their OWN sympathies.
What do we mean by calling Charles |. a
blessed martyr, knowing all the while that
he was a martyr of his own untruth And
why do we forget, in the misfortunes Of
this Charles Stuart, the collective misery
of the English people9 Simply because
lie WAS king andllis end appalling, like
the fifth act of tragedy! Why is Ravail-
luc held up to execrution and Charlotte
Corduy to admiration In each case the
crime was the MISREPRESENTATION; the
motive was the slme-to rid France of an
enemy. But Rayaillac slew king; Char
lotte Corday slew the squalid, hateful
Aarat. In the one case sympathy is with
the illustrious victim; in the other with
the beautiful criminal But, before the
bar of mortal judgment, both these ass,1s.
sins are guilty, or both are guiltlvss.

MEASURING ETERNITY.

They were two very nice old ladies, says
the Springfield Republican, in good and
regular standing in the Orthodox Church.
They prided themselves on the doctrines
of the fathers, and they were talking OF
the current topic of the Indian Orchard
Council; mourning the falling from grace
of good Deacon Merriam's SOD, but COM
forting them with the stalwart backbone OF
their young pastor on the trial Coming
down to the main topic one says:-
"About this eternal punishment-how
long do you spose it lasts? ?'

while; at least thousand years,

"a thousand years." reaeotively re-
sponded the first, "well, that good deal

LIFE IN LONDON.

A good illustration of the ups and downs
in life is given in the following report of a
police court case from the London papers.
cat the Mansion House, recently, Louisa
Wider, fifty, whose appearance and man
ners showed that, in spite of her poor
dress and distressed condition, she had
known better days, was charged before
Mr.. Alderman Hadley with being intoxi-
Gated, and while in that state stealing q
watch and chain belonging to Mr. Greaves
a ship-broker. Mr.. Alderman Hadley,
thinking he had had her previously before
him, casually asked her when she was last
in the Mansion House. She replied that
she had not been there since 1915, when
she came, dressed in white satin, to ball
given by her uncle, Mr.. Alderman john
Johnson, who was then lord mayor. This
statement created some surprise. Mr..
Alderman Hadley, dealing with her for the
unlawful possession of the watch and
Chain, sentenced her to twenty one days
hard labor, but afterward, at the request
of the prosecutor, who pleaded for her, he
called her back and discharged her.

A SINGULAR CASE OF POISONING.

strange thing recently occurred in
Paris; sixty-six persous living in the same
neighborhood showed symptoms of lead
poisoning. Official examination proved
the water, wine, aud groceries used by the
sufferers to be unilnpeachable. 1t was
discovered however that, with two exctp-
tons, all the patients had bought their
bread from the same baker, and as to the
two exc ptions they had unwittingly con-
Sumed bread i'll sn eating house which
was supplied by this baker. The baker
himself and his assistants were more severe
ly poisoned than the majority of their
customers. This lead to an examination
of the stove, and the places that would
come in contact with the outside of the
bread, and it was then finally revealed that
the baker burnt wood brought from old
houses recently destroyed. 1t had consti-
tuted the wainscoating of the house and
was covered with several layers of paint,
which the heat converted into pulverized
oxide of lead, and which naturally ad-
hered to the moist surface of the loaves.
In consequence of this discovery rrgula
ton has been issued by the Prefecture Of
Police forbidding bakers to heat theirovens
with wood derived from old houses.

at his command, and, like all who hail

The Pasha was the other day introduced
to club where billiards, ecarte, and bac-
carat form the staple amusements. On his
appearance there was a pleasurabie futter
of excitement among the habitues, for they
felt much like masters of arms in a fencing
