That Belt.

Although Rowell carries away the Ashley
belt he did not win it by beating the dis
tance made by O'Leary in the London
match, and some people are puzzled to
know why that distance should not be ex-
ceeded before the prize changes hands.
But each race stands on its own merits,
and the best man in that particular con-
test wins as q matter of course. It
is evident, however, that O'Leary was
rendered unable to repeat his old feat and
SO keep the belt because Of the severe
strain his constitution had undergone by
tho races sandwiched in between the two
international events. II he had not walked
from the time Of the London match until he
met Rowell at Gilmors's Garden he would,
almost certainly, have beaten the English
champion as thoroughly as the latter
beat Ennis. This brings up the
question whether the holder of the belt
ought in fairness to be required to meet
any competitors until the next annual in
ternational match comes round? He is
liable, under the present arrangement, to
be forced to accept three challenges dur
ing the year between the time he wins the
belt and the date of the next regular in
ternational match. Yet he must win three
regular annual matches before he becomes
the owner of the prize. These indepen-
dent or side matches entail upon him more
exertion and strain thon any man can en-
dure during single year, and render him
unable to compete successfully for the belt
in his second regular match with men who
are in sound condition. This was the case
with O'Leary and may be with Rowell, who
already has two intermediate matches on
hand. 1t would be more fair to confine the
contests for the belt to the yearly interna-
tional matches, 50 that the winner one
year may not be worn out and broken down
before the next regular trial comes on.

NEATNEss OF MEN.-Very much
has been written about neatness in wo-
men, and in print it looks very easy,
with plenty OF calico dresses, linen col
lars and cuffs, and bright ribbon bows.
The papers say young men are used TO
seeing girls look neat before marriage
and year after are surprised TO find
they have slovenly wives. How a
righteous woman's blood boils at that
word Not one woman in ten becomes
sloven by choice. If her husband Is
farmer his first thought in the morn
ing is to swallow bis breakfast as s....y
as possible and 60 to work. Ifhis wife
stops TO pin on q collar or comb her
head, he thinks il is lost time, and tells
her to hurry up, IN half-ireiful tone.
A railroad man, blacksmith, clerk or
merchant viii do the same thing and
hurry away to business.
After breakfast comes the household
cares. with little crying babe ever and
anon breaking in upon the duties Of the
morning. The clock points TO eleven
and now the morning wrapper must do
duty, or husband will wonder what she
has been at TO make dinner so late. He
doesn't seem to notice how she looks if
everything is right about the dinner,
but If she is late, though neatly dressed,
baby sweet. and house all in perfect or
der he has not . word Of praise, or a
smile, but sits down very sober TO wait.
These are facts that every woman
knows TO be true, butthey have deeper
shading. The dresses, collars and cuffs
which women are expected to have
without stint, more frequently sum up
IN two or three changes. The wife's
money comes through the husbands :
purse and sometimes be forgets to with
draw the string for long while. The
old dresses get shabby, the shoes slip
slop, and the once tidy wife IS sloyen.
How about the men on this subject
of neatness The farmer, the mechan-
&c, the teamster. the miner, the clerk,
have work that causes them TO perspire
freely When evening comes they 81;
with their wives and children, in Their
soiled garments, and think themselves
good enough for any company that may
come 10. Their hands are only bal
washed. their faces unshaved FOR two
weeks, and haIr combed with their I'm.
gers.
