The Boston Herald reckons that devo-
ton To the crimson costs the Harvard boys
about S2OO, 900 The ball match, il may be
added, was not without its stakes, too.
In each case Harvard was the fayorite
and Yale the winner. There is something
highly disgraceful about this whole bet
ting contingent OF the college contests.
The example is set, II the whole betting is
not done, in both colleges by those rich
and pernicOus idlers whose fathers send
them to college for the sake of saying they
have been there, and whose great wealth
inclines the managers, in these money
serving days. TO help them along in the
hope of endowmeEts from the parents.
They are an injury to whatever college
they attend. With their reckless expend-
iture, their profigate habits, their high
scale Of living, their idleness, and their
general futility, they do far more harm
than their parents can undo with the un-
certain charity of their last wills and
testaments They are the curse Of the
large colleges to-day. The only way
to look at this boating and base ball di-
version is as a sport-a side issue in
a course of education which does not neg
lect bodily training II the boys can keep
up their studies and succeed in their
sports it is all very well, but it Is a ques-
ton whether they do not give too much
time to the latter already. Certainly any
further emancipation from study for the
sake of play in any of them Is mistake.
Considering the abominable extent to
which the betting and gambling have
gone, it would be better to-day to cut of
all the sport than to increase its oppor-
tupitY

Trick. of the Chinese Thief.

1t is said that of late bed clothing has
been taken TO Chinatown in large quaint
ties. Armed with a bamboo stick about
four feet long, which may be readily
heightened to fifteen or twenty feet by a
telescope slide, the Mougolian hOodlum
makes his way about dusk To back or
side window, which has been left open at
the top for ventilation. The pole is stuck
through the window, being stretched out
as it is inserted, and by means OF small
hook at the end bedspreads, blankets,
sheets, and pillows are pulled through
the opening. 1t has sometimes occurred
that bed clothing has thus been removed
while the bed contained an occupant, who
was sleeping sOundly. In the case of an
alarm the pole is dropped, and, being on
the outside of the building the hoodlum
easily makes his escape.-San Francisco

says Nereschagin-his superstition. He
would charge on whole horde of Tur-

he would leap up from the table pale
with fear If the salt stand happened to be
upset, and he would swim his horse across
