Coming Championhip Contests.

A CURIOUS feature of our modern
civilization is the championship caper.
Everybody wants to wear the cham
pionship belt for something. Compe-
tition has become the biggest thing in
life. A walking-match between lame
men has convulsed Bowdoin Square.
"The contestants" says the reporter,
"are lame, and this fact created much
enthusiasm as the men sped round the
track"
Now, that is an odd thing to get up
enthusiasm on, isn't itp
In Cambridge there is man who
recently issued "challenge'' in all
seriousness, offering to match himself
against all corners in sleeping-match,
the contestant who could sleep the
longest to take the prize. Imagine it!
How the excitement would rage around
| the beds as the drowsy champions
snored away the live-long days and
| nights in picturesque attitudes!
The difficulty about q sleeping
match is that there would be chance
for ''crooked business" How should
anyone know whether the competitors
were really asleep all the time or not?
How would it be possible to prevent
dragging, which would artiticially in
duce sOmnolency?
Still, there are some things about .
sleeping-match that seem more sensi-
BILE than the prevalent perambulating
passion. If we must 60 to extremes
in everything we do, why not just as
we'll put in a little refreshing sleep for
q wager? Let us "knit up the raVeled
sleeve of care'' for 800 q side!
1t would be better than eating quails
or walking five thousand miles in five
thousand minutes. But it wouldn't
bring in so much gate money. Aye;
there's the rub.
As novelty is a great desideratum
why should we not have q peanut
eating match? There would be some
thing peculiarly American about that.
1t might kill the peanut-eaters, but it
would draw crowd! Fancy report
of the match in the sporting papers:
"The great peanut-eating match be-
tween A. Sniff and j. Junks, for @5, 900
q side, came off at Swoony Hall yes
terday. The conditions were: Each
contestant to eat quart of baked pea
nuts each quarter-hour for forty eight
consecutive quarter-hours.
| "The match was terribly exciting.
Before each contestant was q table
laden with quart measures full of the
luscious fruit of the peanut tree. Sniff
weighed ninety pounds at the start;
Junks eighty-six. Neither had eaten
anything for :wenty-four hours, and
both had voracions appetites. The
first few quarts of peanuts went like
snow before a July sun. The floor was
soon strewn with shells. After eating
four quarts, Sniff took a short rest. but
Junks kept on manfully. At the hour
of going to press Sniff was visibly
swelling, while Junks was eating away
with apparently as good relish as when
he began. At 2:3O p. m. the score
stood: Sniff, twenty-five quarts; Junks,
twenty-five quarts. The time made by
Sniff was as follows:

lance from Mark new mansion, where
he dwelt with his bride. But not q
summers day passed without an inter.
change of visits. Flora had ampl.
opportunity to study Lady Alice, par.
ticularly as there were series of fetes
in her honor at all the neighbOrine
country places, for she was accepted al
once as the idol Of all who composed
what Mrs. Orville had called "ou1
circle at NJ z..--.--.-
"Lady Alice, Of course" said Fora.
How absurd r. Mark explained, all
playfulness vanishing from his face,
and leaving it expressive of mingled
annoyance and disdain-" how per-
fectly absurd! Relinquish that attempt
at once; the task is impossible. You
might as well try to make white
grape Of strawberry, or an orchid OF
9 white rose. Give up the ambition at
once. Do You remember the poem
repeated to you the other day, and you
liked it so wellP Keep true to its aid
ing, those wise words Of Plato:
.''.Be thyself. Court NO greater eift.'"
He raised the little hand once more
to his lips, and turned abruptly to his
papers. Flora stood musing for q mo-
mient; then she went to the bow. window.
pushed aside its dropped curtain, and
looked ont. Some underlined impulse
had seized her to contrast the winter
scene, cold and inclement and bleak,
with the warm nest Of affection and
safety. Presently she exclaimed:
Oh, Marx, there q q fire down IN the
New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1879-05-21


"The hall was thonged and the ex-
element was intense. Bets are freely
offered, 800 to $50, that Sniff will
win. Junks' friends are confident"
AS an intellectual pastime, what do
you think of that? And of course it
will be advertised as highly improv-
ing show, demonstrating how q man
could develop his gastronomic facul-
ties. The present vendors would like
it, anyway.
OF course it would not be difficult to
suggest other tournaments having for
their disinterested object the physical,
mental and moral advancement of the
race.
For instance: A match between wash
erwomen, 70 see who could wash, dry
and iron 5000 shirts in 5000 quarter
hours.
A match between Congressman, to
see who could tell 5000 lies in 5000
seconds.
And SO on Boston SUNDAY Times.
THE total number Of paupers in Lon-
don on the last day of the fourth week
in February was 81, 529, Of whom As, 013
were in the Workhouse, and A, SIS re-
ceived outdoor relief. Compared with
the corresponding weeks Of 1878, 1877
and 1876. these figures show IN increase
Of 3,216, $3.50, and 1,106 respectively.
The number Of vagrants relieved on tho
