They were contained in an oblong parcel about

men Praising their style.

LONDON, juno s.-Tho Columbia College
crew OF New York arrived at Henley on Monday
night. without stopping in London. They found
the Rod Lion Tavern full. and secured quarters
at the Royal HOTEL They took their first pull
on Tuesday afternoon in their cedar boat The
new boat and strange water put them at consid-
cradle disadvantage. Their first run over the
course rather disappointed the boatmen who
witnessed il. Since then. with many changes
in the boats rigging. they have made great inn
provement. and the river men are loud in
praises Of their style. II any fault is found 1t is
that they are too light. The crew goes about
two and half miles each morning and after
noon. which distance they will probably not in
crease much. No other crew il expected for a
fortnight until which time they will have the
boat house To- themselves. After that time the
boat house will be very crowded and incon-
venient. The crew have not yet made their en-
tries. but they expect TO be in both Of the four
Dared races Ii is said that the Cambridge four

the Atlantic did them no harm. and the change
OF climate has as yet had no III effect upon them,

Words confuse ideas; use as few as
possible.
There is discount on the most per-
feet happiness.
The blush of maiden is natures sig
nal of warning.
Not one man in thousand marries
the girl he most wanted.
Satan is always ready to give advice,
but he exacts high fees.
There are many moral people whose
virtues somehow seem to be a misfit.
Discomfort is vital element of civili-
zation; without it there would be no
progress.
The quiet fellow in the corner who
let's his rivals do all the talking generally
marries the girl.
If mankind were turned into different
kinds of food mother-ln-law would
make horsera lish.
There are people who should be known
as "tapeworm takers" They are q
terror to all busy men.
Every man coming to an obscure old
age thinks he would have achieved wealth
Let young men be patient in then
wooing, for a maiden's love may be cold
on her lips yet warm in her heart.

Language of Finger.Rings.

In case of gentleman wishing to
marry literally Sin the market with
his heart-he wears plain or chased
gold ring upon the first finger of his left,
or heart hand. When success attends
his suit, and he is actually engaged, the
ring passes to the second finger. After
marriage it passes to the third finger.
If, however, the gentleman desires to
tell the fair ones that he not only is not
"in the Market" but that he does not
design to marry at all, he wears the sig
net upon his little finger, and all the
ladies may understand that he is out of
their reach. With the fair sex "the
laws of the ring" are: A plain or chased
gold ring on the little finger OF the right
hand implies "not engaged" or, in
palmer words, "ready for proposals,
sealed or otherwise" When engaged
the ring passes to the third finger of the
right hand. When married, the third
finger of the left hand receives it. II
the fair one proposes to defy all siege to
her heart, she places the rings on the
first and fourth tingers-oue on each
like two charms to keep away the
tempter. 1t is somewhat singular that
this latter. disposition of the ring is rare

procession moved on. A numerous COM
pany of American ladies Witnessed the
procession from the American facade,
and joined in courtesies to the Presi-
dent.
Early in the evening the avenues and
boulevards were crowded with vehicles
and foot passengers. Later, the streets
were impossible in many places in con-
sequence of the immense crowds as
sembled to witness the illuminations.
Many buildings in every quarter of the
city were decorated with flags Of all ma
tions. The American colors were abun-
dantly and conspicuously displayed. The
boulevards des Italiens and des Capu-
cines were brilliantly illuminated with
gas-jets, ,transparencies, and Chinese lam
terms. The pressure Of people and car
riages on the two boulevards mentioned
was indescribable. For three hours ev-
cry inch of space in the main thorough
fares, and every side street, was occu-
pied by surging masses shouting and
singing.
