At the recent convention of the

was adopted: ResoIred, That it is the
sense of this association that a part of

President Eliot, of Harvard, has
asked the Presidents of other colleges
whether they will forbid their college
baseball mines to play with profession
ais provided Harvard takes the lead,
and has received affirmative answers
from all except Yale, which had not vet
been heard from. The faculty of Har-
ward, though DESTROYS of encouraging
athletics, wish to restrain muscle max

strive for no other education than that

have never seen IN any "Antique
and Horrible" procession such ludi-
crous looking teams. The wagons are
the most rickety things imaginable.
The one horse ones will carry three or
four persons on a seat. The tops when
new are of canvas, but generally are
nothing but rags, tapping in the wind.
The harnesses are composed chiefly of
ropes, and give one the impression that
they have been arranged in order to
present as ludicrous an appearance as
possible.
But the horsesi How shall / describe
them? The owners must have got into
as desperate mood before buying as
did the Boston fruit-vender who, after
several unsuccessful investments in
horse bones, vowed that he would have
good horse, if it cost him five dollars.
Really the sight of some of these poor
bruteS will almost bring tears to one s
eyes. Some time ago, foreigners put in
plea to the Government, asking that
such brutes be not allowed to be used.
So the Government required every
driver to have his horse examined, and
if he was considered decently fair a
license was issued allowing him to be
used But presently it was discovered
that the drivers would bring good
horse for inspection, and then substitute
miserable brute in his place on the
road Then each horse when licensed
had the license put on a wooden tag,
which is hung somewhere on the bride,
and is another ornament to these highly
decorated eouinaqas. Although the

Hog raising is not altogether a
lost art in Louisiana, but the returns
from that business are altogether
too light. It is hoped that with the
new year the farmers will make
preparations to do something more
remunerative in that line. Farmers
should raise their own hog and
hominy.

Among the Russians, bishops can
not marry, nor for that matter can
priests. But as no parish deacon
can be ordained priest without be-
ing married, he marries as deacon
indeed must maryland then he is
ordained to the priesthood. But as
no priest can marry, so if his wife
dies, he must remain unmarried
during the remainder of his life
One sees, therefore, what induce
ment every priest has to take good
care of his wife; for if she dies,
there is no marriage for him. But
repeated marriages, with the Rus
slams, are not regarded with appro-
baton. A second marriage involves
a penance of two years; third
marriage involves penance of five
years. exclusion from holy commu.
Mon; fourth marriage cannot take
place. No man past eighty is per-
United to marry, nor can woman
be married who is past sixty. Eigh-
teen years for the bridegroom and
sixteen for the bride are considered
years of discretion; younger than
this they cannot marry, and until
they have attained civil majority

consent of their parents or guardi-
ans. Indeed all European laws on
this subject are more strict than in
this country.
