The Yale News of yesterday in speaking of
the University nine said: Candidates for the
nine have been training in the cage for about
Eve weeks and probably will be unable to get
out of doors for three weeks more. The prin-
cfpal part of the training has been devoted to
batting, as usual during the winter, each
man having his turn regularly every day,
the new men generally under the superVi-
sion of Capt. Stagg. Of last years team
Stage, Damn, Spencer, McConkey, Noyes,
Stewart and Hunt and all of the substitutes,
II
berg, are in college. The work of the old men
| is well known to the college. OF the new
men, Phelps, P. G., played on his class team
when in college. He is a fair fielder and
poor batter, though he shows some improve
ment. Dickerman, T. S., a substitute on
| the Amherst nine of '86, is a slow fielder and
poor thrower, though fairly good batter:
Francke, $50, played on his class team and is
an Indifferent fielder and very weak batter,
unable to overcome his cid habit of stepping
back. Calhoun 40, member of last years
freshman nine, is fair fielder, but unsteady
in his throwing, sure batter and fine base
runner OF the freshmen trying for the Uni
versity, Mcbride go S. is rather brilliant
but unsteady fielder, but promises to become
strong batter-he hits quick and sharp.
Dalzel '91, candidate for change pitcher, has
poor curves, good speed, but is wild; he is
somewhat weak at the bat, steps back too
much. Poole '91, second baseman on
last years Andover nine, is a bril-
liant but rather unsteady fielder,
too much inclined to make one
hand plays At the bat he is very weak,
hitting under the ball too much. Root '91 is
fair fielder, inclined to exhibit too much
style for a ball player; at the bat he hits
quick. but rather carelessly, and reaches too
much. N. McClintock 81, candidate for the
out field, is sure, steady fielder; he is a
poor batter, but improving. These men will
probably remain in training until tie Easter
recess.

The Board of EducatiOn's Meeting
Last Evening.

The Board of EducatiOn's Meeting
Last Evening.
Three members of the board of education
were absent from the meeting of the board
last night. Messrs Strong and Bennett are
out of the city and President WEIGH has not
recovered from his recent illness. Maier
Zunder acted as president pro tenn.
The committee on schools recommended
that the board take some action toward Civ
ing more accommodations for the pupils in
the Webster school until the new building
is completed. Mr.. Robinson, the architect,
thought it would be short time to have the
Lew building done inside of a year. Mr..
Graves recommended that the matter for the
providing of more accommodations until the
new building can, be built be referred to the
building committee. The motion was carried.
Mr. Plunkett moved that hereafter all bids
be accompanied by bond satisfactory to the
building committee. This motion was made
on account of Mr.. O'Briens reporting that
Contractor Hazard, the lowest bidder on the
carpenter work of the Webster school, had
Withdrawn his bid in favor of William A.
Lincoln The motion was carried.
All the appointments recommended at the
last meeting of the board were approved.
Bills amounting to $21, 645 for the month
of February were approved.
1t was voted to give the use of the Hill
house High school to the alumni association
Of the school on the evening preceding the
graduating exercises Of the present senior
class.
The following letter was read by Actin
President Zunder:
President WEIGH, Dear Sir-Expect to be out of
the State the evening of the next board meeting
wish to offer the enclosed amendment to the
rule that was laid over at the last meeting. 1t Is,
believe very the sentiment of the entire board.
Should there be any objections would ask to have
the matter laid over. as wish to go On record IN
favor of the amendment.
Very truly yours,
H. H. STRONG.
The following is the amendment offered
by Major Strong to rule xvii, by adding
these words under section Z: Diplomas
shall be given to all those who have satisfac-
toriIy completed the commercial course of
two years They shall be represented by at
least two essays in the general graduation ez-
ercises of the High school and receive their
diplomas at the same time and place"
The amendment was laid over until the
next meeting.
Architect Robinson showed plans of new
Webster school building and the board
looked the plans over, but took no action.

Information That May Prevent VIOln-
lions of Law.
A number of cases have occurred recently
in this vicinity where ignorance of the law
has resulted in trouble for persons liable to
pay government special taxes for the sale of
liquor and cigars. The special tax for retail
liquor selling is $50 per annum, and
for the retail cigar business $240.
The special tax year begins May 1
and advance payment is required for the
year. The trouble has arisen from an i'm
preston existing with many saloon and cigar
store proprietors that when they have paid
their tax for the year, and sell out their bust
ness, the new proprietor may go on selling
until the end OF the year under the same
'license." But this idea is erroneous The
county commissioners are allowed to transfer
the State liquor licenses, but the United
States special tax stamp or 'icense" is not
transferable. The purchaser may continue
to use it after he sells out and establishes
himself in another place, or even another
State, but the new proprietor must obtain a
special tax stamp for himself for the unex-
pired part of the year.

Caterers and Bon WANTS.

The late Sam Ward, one of the most
celebrated bon vivants and epicures, Is
said TO have originated several novel
forms of cooking different meats and
vegetables which he kept a profound
secret to his death. The most noted
chefs of the present day, both in Europe
and America, are as indefatigable in
their experiments as are scientists. As a
result nearly every one of them makes a
discovery Of some kind In the culinary
line which he is wont to guard against
publicity as sedulously as does the detec-
tive his initial clews in an important
criminal investigation.
In a general way cooking among the
~aristocratic and wealthy has undergone
many manifest changes during the last
two centuries. Our most popular cater

A universal law Of social progress, with
which we are all familiar, is that estab-
tished systems in thought, morals, man.
ners. government, or any department Of
human activity, struggle to p~erpetuate
themselves by a fight against all innova-
tons. Whatever is new and progressive,
or represents the requirements of an en-,
larging field of life, has got to gain its
foothoid In the fnce Of the powerful op-
position Of the old and pre-established.
Those more perfected and exact concep-
tons of nature, which we call scientific
ideas, have prevailed only after centuries
of moral strife with the inherited super
stit:ons and imperfect congratulations of
our semi-civilized forefathera.
The progressive and liberal govern
ments of our me advanced nations to-
day have been established in spite Of the
bitter opposition of their predecessors,
and are themselves fighting tooth and
nail the higher forms that will succeed
them. In literature and art old schools
try TO deny existence to the new; and,
even in the little affairs of daily lives,
we are all permitting the things that are,
and have sufficed to our fathers before
us" to keep out the better things that
might bell. G. s. Noble in Popular

The Illicit diamond buyer. who incites
the Kafirs to steal diamonds, is a thorn
in the digger's side. Often the illicit
buyer gets a 81, 900 stone for $4OO, but
if he is caught in his crooked work and
convicted he is sure to suffer a penalty
OF fifteen years hard labor. The law is
very stringent, and there is no way of
getting away from 1t. 1t is illegal to own
a diamond unless one is a claim holder or
u licensed buyer. II a private individual
wishes to purchase a stone or two for
himself, he must first obtain a permit
from the authorities. These precautions
will be seen to be necessary, because the
value of the diamond, its portability. the
facility with which it can be concealed
and the uncertainty regarding its exist
ence make it a source of temptation to
dishonesty among all classes. 1t is,
therefore, against the law for any one,
even IL a licensed buyer, to purchase a
diamond from any one not q claim
holder, unless he can produce his permit.

me Anthology Of India.

In India the great serpent Ali Cwhence
our word adder, and the dragon
Vritra, who caused drought and physical
evils, being therefore mere demons, were
succeeded by the demi-devil, Ravana. He
is described in the Rymayana as having
ten heads, twenty sxnis, copper colored
eyes, and bright teeth like the young
moon. He was n breaker Of all laws, es-
P~eCially 4 ravisher. Like Satan, he is of
Celestial origin, and ever in his lapse so
potent, by reason of former sanctity,
that he made each of the gods perform
some mental office for him. He bore on
his great form the scars Of India's thun-
derbolt and Nishnu's discus, but reigned
on still until Vishnu became incarnate as
Rama, by whom the royal devil was
slain. The Singhalese demons CRak-
shasas), over whom Ravana reigned, re-
manned, and are still dreaded (under
name of Bhuts in India), but they had to
wait for a long time for another chief.
This was Mara, originally the Hindoo Gu
pid, who, when Buddha preached the
evil of existence, naturally las the god Of
reproduction) became the adversary.
Buddha believed in no deity or devil;
the universe he declared without begin
ming, destined to be without end; it was
entirely bad, and the only salvation OF
man was to escape not merely from the
earth, but from existence altogether.
On this purely negative foundation Budd-
hism has built up a system in which the
Hindoo deities survive as angels, help
full or mis~chievous, Mara being its Satan
and Buddha its Christ. Nirvann, how
ever, still retains for a large proportion
Of Buddhists its original s~igniicance-s
realm of unconsciousness-conscious i'm
mortality being for the bad, who will be
punished by automatic ~torturers formed
from their own evil desires. The Budd-
hist solution of the problem of evil is
purely pessimistic. Nature is essentially
bad; any appearance OF good in it is an
illusion which, if pursued, leads from
bad to worse. -Moncure d. Conway in
The Cosmopolitan.

Experiments by DIR. N. Butiagin, a ST.
Petersburg medical student, show that
the saliva is less active in digesting starch
foods in invalids and weak persons than
in the healthy, and that compensation
for this may be hal in the increased di
feasibility given the starchy substances

weak and nervous woman, with So per

and peas which had been cooked three

In the human subject the average
rapidity of the cardiac pulsation of an
adult male is about seventy beats per
minute. These beats are more frequent
as n rule in young children and In women
and there are variations within certain
limits in peculiar persons owing to pecu-
harities of organization. 1t would not
necessarily be an abnormal sign to find
in some particular individuals the habit
ual frequency of the hearts action from
sixty TO s~ixty-five or from seventy-ive
to eighty per minute. AS a rule, the
hearts action is slower and more power
full in fully developed and muscular or
CARNATIONS, and more rapid and feebler
in those of slighter form. In animals,
the range Is from twenty-five to forty
five in the cold blooded and fifty upward
in the warm blooded animals, except In
the case of a horse, which has a very
slow heart beat, only forty strokes a min
ute. The pulsations OF men and all ami
mails differ with the sea level also. The
work of q healthy human heart has been
shown to equal the feat OF raising five
tons four hundredweight one foot per
! II. or 1875 ons in t~wenty-four hours.
Inc excess of this work under alcohol in
varying quantities is often very great.
A curious calculation has been made
by DIR. Richardson, giving the work of
the heart in mileage. Presenting that
the blood was thrown out of the heart at
each pulsation in the proportion of 90
strokes per minute, and at the assumed
force of o feet, the mileage of the blood
through the body might be taken at 2O7
yards per minute, z miles per hour, 1913
miles per day, 81, 800 miles per year, or
8, 150, $50 miles in a lifetime OF "a years.
The number of beats of the heart in the
same long life would reach the grand
total of 1850, 776, O0.-Medical World.
