What Il Costs.

The people who stand on the banks Of
ariver intently watching college boat
race rarely ever take into account the
amount OF money expended in the
preparation of the crews. It costs from
fifteen to twenty dollars to uniform each
man, and some 60 to higher figure in
the matter of dress. The paper shells
they row in are costly, prices amounting
to anywhere from S4O0 to 5000. Trainers
must be provided, who not only coach
the crew, but closely watch all the food
they eat This is an expense to the club
of at least 81, 900 year. Then the crew
must eat for three months during their
training, and this viii call for about
$iOO for each man. Incidental expenses
win swell the bill to anywhere from
So, 900 to double that amount, and
oftentimes after severe training, hard
work, and bitter disappointment, the
crews go back to their studies or BUSH
ness with smiling faces, though out Of
pocket considerably, in trying to win q
trophy from some friendly rivals who
carry off the prlze.-Aew Fork Globe.

SIiqhtIy Sarcastic.

Can anybody write for newspaper
Oh, yes; they can if they want to.
There is nothing to stop anybody from
writing for newspaper.
And get paid for it?
Oh, yes; there is nothing 10 stop any
body from being paid for writing for
newspaper.
What is the best subject to write
about for newspaper
Oh, anything which happens to in.
terest you it is a sure sign it will interest
everybody else.
How does an editor like to have an ar
ticle commenced
Commonly in this way: Having
few moments to spare, have dashed of
these few lines in the hope that what ]
have ground out may interest your read
ers. have not said on this subject all
could or all I can; but if it should
prove interesting, as hope it win, ]
trust shall be able to say more on this
and other topics, etc." The longer you
can keep on in this strain the more viii
the editor be delighted with your ar
ticle.
In what style does he like to have ii
writteR9
He likes to have it written in very
fine, obscure hand, with lots Of inter
lineations and letters sprawled across
each other, and, if possible, on both sides
Of the paper; and then you should call
for proof of your article, and whenyo
get it conclude to strike out every third
sentence and put another in its place,
and when you get s'revise' you mighl
rewrite the entire article over again. Thil
will make the entire Office happy and
cheerful.
What will the editor do first after
looking over such an article9
He will order a new club-for yor
when you call.
Where do you generally put the long
articles?
In the waste basket.
Do you pay for them2
No, but the old junk man does at tht
rate Of a cent per pound. There is {
good opening to make some money
writing long articles providing you liv'
long enough.

Fish that Climb caIaracis.

My opinion is that eels hatch in salt
or brackish water and 60 up the streams
when they are small. They can 60 up
any dam or fall when they are young
They crawl up the dams or falls, cling
ing to the rocks under the sheet Of water
the same as an angle worm would. They
60 up any fall, no matter how high, if
they get there before they are five inches
long. There are plenty Of eels in Lake
Ontario, but none above, except they
have been transported or got up through
the canal. They are also 50 large when
they get to Niagara Falls that they can
not get over; they are 50 heavy they fall
back before they set to the top. Seth

General Gordon's Ewes.

Gordon was not one Of the one-eyed
heroes of history. Here is what Mr.
stannard says Of the extraordinary fasci-
nation Of his eyes: "What eyes they
werel keen and clear, filed with the
beauty Of holiness; bright with an un-
natural brightness; their expression one
of settled feverishness; their color blue
gray, as is the sky on bitter March
morning. l know not what effect those
eyes had on all he came in contact with,
though, from the unfailing and willing
obedience with which his orders were
carried out, ! fancy that, to some extent,
be unconsciously mesmerized nine out Of
ten to do his will, but I know that upon
me their effect was to raise wild long
ing, desperate desire to do something,
anything, at his bidding. 1t was not
an unpleasant or uncanny sensation;
it was not that any evil thought
or suspicion lurked within the windows
of his brave and pure soul. His power
was the power Of resolute goodness, and
it was strong--so strong that / am sure,
had he told me to stand on my head, or
to perform some impossible feat should
certainly have tried my utmost to accom-
plish it, without giving moment foI
reflection as to whether the order was
reasonable or not. Pal Nall Gazette.

seemed about to fold her in forever. And
Paul caught her hand in his firm clasp,
and all the ghosts Of the past foated
away, and she was only little modern
maiden, blushing, and drawing her hand
swiftly away from too ardent clasp.
But Paul had read the meaning Of that
vivid crimson on her cheek, and was
satisfied.
The City of Washington sounded its
warning note, and Paul and Rita left the
churchyard. And soon they were NOV

with its quiet streets and forgotten am

streets can never grow silent, whose
hopes can never fade away, whose peo-
pie can never die.-Mary Terrence, IN

Wonders Of the Great Canon.

What words are to be used, unaided
by pencil or brush, when one seeks to
describe what the canon Of the Colorado
River really is9 It's magnitude, its
solemnity, the awful depth, the rushing
waters, the towering cliffs, all speak to
us, but we cannot speak Of them. Man
is dwarfed by nature, abashed by her
grandeur, silenced by the exhibition Of
her powers. Imagine the scene. A yel-
low-hued stream, rushing like gust Of
angered wind along rock-strewn bed
and between line of dark k-hued cliffs
Look upward thousand feet, and rocks
look angrily down; gaze up another
thousand feet, another, and still another,
and there are the same dark browcd
monsters glaring down upon you and
upon the river. Look up again, and now
gaze for 5000 feet into the air toward
the heavens, and you can still see rough
edged rocks, all outlined against the
sky, over a mile in height away,
throwing up pinnacles and towers, and
domes and isolated peaks Clipped and
SCARED, and dark, massive, and irregu-
lar. The light of day is dimmed, the
place is full of loud, hoarse roars, the
air is chilled, and the river, lashed into
foaming fury, leaps madly along its
course. Here are shadows that Rem
brandt would have gloried in; here Dore
might have copied nature and added to
his fame. Here is the road to Dante's
somber halls. One stands within the
very bowels of the earth, with all light
and brightness lost to view. He sees
the work Of ages, the result Of mighty
power. The earth is cleft in twain; it is
as though a mountain, tall and strong,
had been halved by some sharpened
sword. Six thousand feet of stony depth !
Six thousand feet beneath the light Of
dayl There are no pleasant smiles Of
n1ture to be seen. No flowers grow, no
shrubs appear, no birds are visible. Dark
are the towering walls, and darker still
the shadows, while the towers take on
most uncouth shapes, and the rivers runs
out Of blackness to us and into darkness
/ from US, puny monster in comparison
with its prison, a wayward child held in
stern rebuke.
From the tops of the cliffs which form
the Colorado's canon, the river winding
at their base is like strand Of gold.
But it needs strong nerve to look from
the great height into the depths below.
Drop stone and the splash it would
make upon striking the water could not
be seen. Even the noise the river makes
is not audible and the stream seems to
flow noiselessly along its dark and rug
ged course. Turning from gazing into
the canon, and looking about the coun-
try, the deep rent is seen stretching
far away to the east and west, while in
the distance are tall trees and rocks, and
bare brown hills. One question why the
canon was mas made and how whether
worn by the river, or formed by volcanic
action. But whatever the cause, it
is strange freak Of nature, rivaling,
with its grandeur, all other sights, in
viting comparisons, but challenging com
petition. All other canons Of the wild
Southwest, where rivers delight to wind
in darkened places. sink into insigni6-
cane when compared with this Of the
Rio Colorado.
