Two of the Creates.

Sir John Millais, In an interesting arti-
Gle in The Magazine of Art, pronounces
against blind alteration of the old masters.
He says time and varnisn are two of the
greatest among the old masters, and that
the only way to judge an old picture is to
ask: "What was this like when it was
new?" He claims for pictorial art steady
evolution upward, though conditions and
the demands of public taste are entirely
changed OF modern sculpture he says:
so fine is some of the work our modern
sculptors have given us that verify be-
leve that, were it dug up from under
oyster shells in Rome or out of Athenian
sands, with a stamp of partial dismember-
ment about it, all Europe would fall
straightway into ecstasy, and give forth
their plaintive wall, We can do nothing
like that nowp Home Journal.

And the hot and dusty town.

And held it out TO the shower;
For the rain that waters the widespread lands
Will freshen a widows flower.
And there came a thought OF the friendless heart
Shut up in a lonely place;
Oh, carry it forth, ere its life depart,
And give it the streams of gracei
Oh, carry it forth TO rdrer air
From its dark abode Of pain,
Till the dust of self and the stains Of pef
Are washed away by the rain.

Penmanship at the Postoffice.


How about the difficulty of illegible
handwritings?'
well, that is, generally speaking, not
as bad as might be expected, especially in
a cosmopolitan city like Chicago. which
can boast of all sorts of national hand
writings. Long practice has skilled our
eyesight and gift of distinction so that we
but rarely have difficulty in decipher-
ing any style of writing. In my twenty
years experience think l remember only
two or three occasions where l was unable
to make the writing out. Judged by
nationalities the Chinese are by all
odds the worst penmen-that is, of
our style of writing. You'd die laugh
ing if you could see sometimes the
chirography some of these almond eyed
gentlemen indulge in. The Italians
come next as illegible writer's, and then
some of the Scandinavians and few of
the Germans, who affect German script
and get off some very bold figures with the
pen. The Americans are, that goes with
out saying, the plainest and most distinct
writer's. But even among them there are
q good many who affect such peculiarities
Of handwriting as puzzle us not little.
Especially what's called the 'backhanded'
ones-it may look pretty enough, but the
characters all run into each other and
make the effect of blurring the whole. 1t
takes study to decipher this style of writ
ing, and Won often have to twist the let
ter and turn it sideways and upside down
to get any sense Of it%-Chieago Herald.

Old Inca Burial Grounds.

The British consul at Mollendo, in Peru,
recently reported to his government that
limited liability company has been
formed there, with capital of about
$4,000, called the Compania Anonima Ex-
ploradora de las Hucas del Inca, with the
object of searching for antiquities and
valQables in the old Inca burial grounds
in the district of Cuzco, a concession hav-
ing been granted to the company by the
government for the purpose. The consul
says there is no doubt that many valuable
curiosities, and probably deposits of gold
and silver, exist in these ancient tombs.

THE WITNESSES.

Day by day in the opening meadow,
The cowslips swing their bells of gold;
And the young leaves throng like merry CHILDREN
The forest windows grim and old.
Day by day, with blow that strengthens,
The sun god smites the springing corn;
Doubly cool are the dews of evening,
Doubly sweet is the breath of morn.
Day by day in the lower pastures
Heavier mists at twilight fall
The sheaves stand thick the short white
stubble,
The peaches glow on the orchard wall
Day by day, over hill and valley,
The snowflakes wing their passage slow,
Cold white ghosts of the forest children
Dead in the tangled brakes below.

Height of a Wave.

The keeper of the Tillamock Rock (Ore-
gon) lighthouse reports to the lighthouse
100 feet above high water mark. His cal
culation is made as follows: The rock
upon which the lighthouse tower stands
rises ninety-six feet above high water,
the focal plane of the light itself is thirty
eight feet above the base of the tower,
and the crest of the wave was at least
twenty five feet above the light. The win
dows of the tower were broken and the
lamp extinguished.- Budget.

A Floating Saw Mill.

One of the greatest novelties Of practical
character which ingenuity has devised is
thus described by Florida exchange:
I ]. L. Maun & Son have their mammoth
boating saw mill anchored off the banks of
Burton & Harrisons hammock. This struct-
IRE is a marvellous piece of mechanical in
yenuity, and was built by J. W. Maui and
Edward n. Maull 1t is so by 40 feet and
.tands about five feet out of the water, draw
ng only about seventeen inches. 1t is solidly
built, and according to the judgment of Mr..
Carl, an old time ship builder, is capable of
lnduring the severe strains of even the
waves of the ocean. The operation of all the
machinery does not seem to move the vessel
ny more than if it was on the land 1t has
o far proved more of success than its pro-
ector anticipated. It is equipped with
orty horse power boiler and engine with the
atest improvements in saws and carriages A

eek and connected by shafting concealed
nder deck, so that the main deck is free
rom machines and available for the piling

orner of the vessel is the cook house, where
ne hands board, while ON the hurricane deck

A New way Of scoring.

The agitation first started by the COURIER regards new way of scoring has led the Meriden Journal to bring forth way about the same as that suggested in the COURIER columns. The only difference is the elimina- tion of blocking and tries at goal and substi- tuting in these columns fouls and errors This is good idea, apparently. In time people will look as much fer errors as they do in base ball, at least that is the natural conclusion now. Polo loving people will what to know how player does in his posi- tion. The Journal says:
 "The essential features of 8 game are the rush, the goal, the assists at goal, the stops either by goal tender or others, the fouls and the errors. Nothing else should be scored for various reasons. The blocking of players should not be given because if it is there will be tendency on the part of the player to make as many as possible for the sake of record, and as Referee Stumcke says, team work will be ruined and more rough play re- suit than ever before.' While good blocking is essential, there would be more harm than good done by scoring it. A block that allows a player to score may be credited as an assist, as a pass would be, nothing else. Trials at goal, like blocks, should not be scored. They are too numerous in game and there would be promiseuous driving at goal and tendency to spoil chance for 6 pass in order to get creditit for a drive. In the matter of scoring errors there should be some understanding. A goal tender who al- lows ball to pass him of course makes an error, as does player who makes foul. If 8 half back falls down and allows goal to be scored, as did Kirke and Hannaford Sat- urday night, he makes an error; if player in juggling ball does so in front of the cage and loses it to an opponent, he makes an error, and so on. In scoring judgment will have to be exercised

A Rad Deal.

The treatment the New Haven polo team received at Bridgeport Thursday night was the most disgraceful that team ever re- ceived. It is no wonder that the New Ha- vens were beaten as they were. There is strong talk among the directors of forfeiting every game to Bridgeport. That is, unless there Is a change in matters and the New Ravens are treated with more respect. And this season is not the beginning of it, either, only that it is now much worse. Many will perhaps remember once last season when Leydon retaliated and hit one of the specta- tors with his fist. Leydon told the writer spectators hit him and held him whenever he got near the side of the rink.
 director said last night: "This thing must be stopped. If the rink management there can't stop it we will. We won't play there any more. Wednesday night the spee- tators yelled continually, Kill the ---n Other vile things too low to mention were were afraid of doing anything. The Bridge port players held our men, rode around on their backs and did all the dirty work they were capable of. They wouldn't do 80 if they were not encouraged by the crowd. Manager Downes, who sat in the reporters box, was insulted again and again. Once he spoke to those near him not treated so in New Haven. You know that the rink there is ten feet narrower than ours. Whenever one of our players ran against the wall of the rink the spectators near by grabbed him, held his stick, and hit him. 1 tell you 1t was disgraceful scene. You let our players do in their rink as the Bridgeport players did in theirs, and you low work, even by their own friendly audi ence,

l Another Amendment to the Ashbournt Act Rejected-Ready fer she Third Reading.
 LONDON, Nov. 26-The debate on the IrisI land purchase bill was resumed in the House of Commons this evening. MT. Mshoney,
 Nationalist, moved the insertion in the bill
 of new clause to the effect that the land
 commission shall take as security for the pays
 ment by tenants of their miscellaneous the inn provements executed by the tenant or his predecessor in his title.
 Mir. Balfour, Chief Secretary of Ireland, opposed the motion on the ground that it would introduce great confusion and, also, because it was against the interests of the purchasing tenant. The motion was rejected by vote of 139 to a.
 Mir. Smith, the government leader, appeal ed to the House to assist in closing the dis cussion on the bill. The government, he said, was desirous of meeting the opposition as fair as possible and would accept the series of amendments proposed by Mr. Healey relating to sub letting to 1aborers and also the provision that the land commission shall not sanction an advance of the money unless they certain that the application of the tenant was not made under duress. The government also intended to promote the bill dealing with the registration of titles. MT. Morley and Mir. Shsw-Lefevre both ex- pressed themselves as satisfied with these con- sessions. MT. Smith thereupon moved that the purchase be read third time Mr. Healey, however, objected on account of un- due haste, and the House adjourned.

The Venerable Father Malone Must
 Apologize To ArchBlshop Corrigan.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-The effects of the McGlynn episode are continually being felt among the Catholic clergy of this diocese. Dr. Burtsell's testimony in the Mcguire bur- ial case which will probably cause him to be summoned to Rome, is hardly out of mind when to-day the trouble breaks out in an- other quarter. It appears that the venera- ble priest Sylvester Malone, of St. Peter and St. Paul, Brooklyn, who was to have ofici- ated at the wedding of two young personal friends of his in New York, received an or- der from Archbishop Oorrigan, on the eve of the wedding that he would not be allowed to perform any priestly function in this diocese until he apologized to the archbishop. The subject of the desired apology was not stat. ed. but it is understood that Father Malone's expression of sympathy with Dr. McGlyRn at the time of the latter's rupture with the archbishop is the cause of the present difi- cu1ty. The marriage ceremony was perform ed by Mgr. Ducey. The wedding was that of Eugene Varet and Annie Berry, the bride being member of an old Brooklyn family who have been under Father Malone's minis trations fifty years. The members of Father Malone's church arc said to be much agi. ated over the matter.
