No busting.

In a certain small mountain village in
California there are seventeen "old bache-
lors," and only twenty men with families.
The bachelors live in little homes Of their
own. and grow mountain peaches for distant
markets, having long ago given up the hope
of finding fortunes in the mines, the hope
which first drew them to the golden climate
Of FL Dorado.
Ted futile, nephew Of one of these bache-
lors, was born in this village, and grew to be
big boy before he ever happened TO hear
the word 'bachelor.n Indeed. bachelors were
so plentiful in the village that they were
taken quite as matter OF course.
Ted'S amazement was extreme when Che
day his uncle returned from a trip to Sacra-
mento with a pretty young woman, whom
he introduced TO Ted as his new Aunt Mary.
The pair dined with Ted's parents, and then
went TO their own home. Ted was silent
until they had gone; then his surprise and
indignation burst forth.
Mother" he exclaimed, II don't see what
made Uncle John think that lady was my
aunt!"
why, she is" said his mother. 'She is
Uncle Johns wife, SO Of course she is your
aunt"
Are they married, ike you and papaF'
"Of course"
''And she'll always be staying over there,
picking up things and busting, the same as
you do hore!'
Il hope she's good housekeeper."
"Well, then, think Uncle John is just as
mean as he can be-" said Ted, spelling all
my fun at his housed"
You mustn't be too hard on your poor
uncle" laughed his mother "He liked Aunt
Mary He didn't wish to be a bachelor any
longer"
II suppose that means a live alone man,
and think it's good deal nicer" cried Ted.
I'm going to be live alone man myself, and
if anybody wants to come bothering round
me, sweeping and busting, I'll just tell her
she can 90 and be a live alone lady. "-Youth's

Common Sense and pianOforte Playing.

Professor WaJ2oldt, the director for the
Elisabethschule "a girls school IN Germany,
has addressed a very serious warning TO pa
rents and guardians on one OF the evils of the
present system Of taaching girls He points
out the difference between the musician
nnd the ''pianoforte player" and shows how
far they are from being synonymous, as they
are often supposed TO be. lie refers 10 the
illogical practice of eScusing children from
certain subjects o. the school course, and ST
the same time insisting on long continued
and excessive eXertionS at the pianoforte. He
shows how great draft on the nervous en-
ergy OF the body IS entailed by pianoforte
playing, ana says that where parents can be
prevailed upon 70 diminish the hours of pi-
anoforte practice, or stop II altogether, a
marked Improvement in general health in
variably follows. Professor Watzoldt. there

A Reckless Monkey.

Information comes from Philadelphia, the
city of brotherly love, in the land of steady
habits, that there is in that city a wonderful
monkey that actually smokes cigarettes, pre-
cisely as rat Of boy viii smoke them
though not for the same purpose. The boy
smokes cigarettes 10 blacken his fingers and
make himself smell bad. The monkey
smokes because he sees the boys do it. Poor
monkeyi he is 10 be pitied. By-and-by he
wild acquire the art Of blowing the smoke our
through his nose, and then he VIII have 3
horrible cataTrh and die Of consumption.
Darwinipes are delighted at this monkey
snartneSs, and think more than ever that he
is the connecting link In that case the
small boy who smokes cigarettes Is connect
ing INK also, for the monkey in the smoke is
nothing but a base lmitator. The monkey is
certainly disgraclng himself ~ smoking; bus

The contents of the stonachs Of nlackerel
were preserved on two DAYS only, May 10 and
May -. The size of the fish was from eleven
to thirteen and a half inches in length. On
the first day mentioned the quantity Of food
taken from the stomach averaged four drains
TO a stomach; on the second day it averaged
five and a third drains, except in the case of
one specimen, which afforded eight drams
The average quantity of food TO a stomach,
therefore, agreed very closely with the aver
age results Of surface organisms when towing
with the twelve inch net. These deductions.
however, are based upon too few Obseyva-
tons to have any special significance 1t is
well known that the surface organisms serv-
ing as food for macserel and Other pelagic
fishes are very unequally distributed, and are
constantly changing their position, appear
ing and reappearing under the varying con-
ditions of the water and atmosphere While
sometimes they are apparently absent over
wide areas, at others they form dense clouds,
plainly distinguishable by their color.
Such swarms would readily attract the
schools OF rapidly swimming fishes, while
they might easily escape the notice of a fish
Ing vessel moving slowly from place to place
1t is also probable, from previous observa-
tons of the fish commission, that the mack
erel feeds to some extent below the surface
AS to the character OF its food the mackerel
probably exercises little discrimination, but
swallows all the smaller objects occurring in
its path Certain species or groups of spe-
cies are, however, much moro abundant than
others, and these are recognized as its COM
mon or appropriate food. Such are the cope
pods che pelagic amphipods, some of the
pteropods, and perhaps Sagitta. On the
present cruise several species of copepods,
Themisto bispinosa OF amphipods, Spirialis,
species of pteropods, and Sasitta elegans were
the most common and widespread, and they
were all abundant in the stomachs examined.

BURIED A CHILD ALIVE.
A Half Witted Young Fellow Commit.
an Awful Crime.

Il have killed title boy" said Walter F.
Pray, running into Curtis undertaking store at
Weymouth, Mass, Thursday night "and want
a white coffin to put him in
eyes, have lots of them. Wait while and
will go with you," said Curtis.
He led the way to the house of Elmer C. Dem
ton, at Richmond and Keith streets, and in the
back yard showed newly made grave Un-
covering the loose dirt mass of golden locks
was exposed to view. and there lay the body
of little ive-year-old Barner Fisher. Little
realizing the enormity of his deed, Pray pro-
ceeded to explain how he had committed
the act. He said that he met the Fisher
boy about II o'clock in the morning, and,
taking him by the hand walked to Den
toms house. Pray says he found the hole
already dug in the yard, and the idea came
into his head that ii would be fun to have
funeral. Pray's recital of how he buried alive
the little fellow is most heartrending. He forced
handful of dirt into the child's mouth to stifle
its cries, and, laying him down in the hole, took
NJ. Allen saw Pray shoveling the ground and
Pray is twenty-five years old and the son of T..
II. Pray, a most respectable citizen of Wey-
mouth. He has been demented always, but
never caused any serious trouble before. The
victim is the second oldest child of Philip
Fisher. In court Pray acknowledged that the
reason he selected Barner was because the
child's elder brother had the day previous
ridiculed him, and he wanted revenge. He
was locked up for trial.

ELEVEN MEN DROWNED.
Names of Those Who Were Lost on the
Manhattan.

From the New York Tribune, Sunday.
The following is the full list of the eleven
persons lost by the sinking of the steamship
Manhattan:
Richard Bingham, fireman; Joseph Davis,
second cook, colored; Charles G. Hayden chief
engineer; Frank Lindros, seaman; Frank Nc
Kenna, fireman; Toby Peterson, fireman; Henry
Roman, coal passer; James Rider, waiter, COL
ored; James Tobin, passenger, colored; VIM.
Vaughn. passenger, white, and Vim. Walker,
passenger, colored.
With the exception Of Hayden the residences
of none of these men can be learned. They
were all of the shifting sailor class, whose only
real home was on the sea. The body of Chief
Engineer Hayden reached here yesterday morn
ing on the City of Worcester and was taken to
Paterson, N. ]. Purser G. w. Yose and the
other survivors also arrived Yesterday morn
| ing Their stories of the wreck confirm the
| statement of Capt. Jenney in all essential par
| ticulars.
| Purser Yose says that the escape of his party
| was extremely narrow. He and his companions
were on the life raft and had drifted about for
| a number of hours before a schooner hove in
| sight. They were gradually drifting out to sea,
| and but for a high wave that lifted them into
view just as the schooner Charles III. Tutte was
passing without seeing them, they stood more
| than an even chance of never reaching land
| Purser yose was on the Cleopatra of the Old
| Dominion line when that steamer sank about
| a month ago.
1t said at the Office of the Old Dominion
line yesterday that the passengers who per-
| ished in the Manhattan disaster were the first
/ the company had ever lost in its twenty-five
years OF carrying millions of passengers and
| running from three to eight ships week. I'm
/ til a month ago, when the Cleopatra sank no
| serious accident had occurred, and now within
four weeks two of the company's steamers had
4 gone down within twenty miles of each other
and under almost exactly the same circum-
stances. The superintendent of the company
said the Manhattan was valued at 5125. 900 and
that the vessel WIS partly insured-to Just what
| amount he declined to say.
The Merritt coast wrecking company of this
city has dispatched boat from New York to
the scene of the wreck and will make an effort
| to raise the sunken steamer. The misceIla-
neous cargo of small consiSnments is estimated
| to be woSth between $50, 900 and $4,000.

A CLOSE FOOT BALL GAME.
Yale Defeats Harvard After an Exciting
Struggle-Other Contests.

1t was close fight at Springfield. Mass, on
Saturday between the foot ball teams OF Har-
ward and Yale, and over $1,000 enthusiastic
spectators gathered at the large grounds. Del
egations from all the other colleges in the
league were present, and, with the sole excep-
ton of Dartmouth, cheered Justify for Yale and
the dark blue. Yale won the game on it's merits,
although it was the closest game ever played
between the two colleges. Harvard was stronger
behind the line but infinitely weaker in the
rush line than the boys from New Haven. The
only score made consisted Of touchdown at
goal by McClung. although another touchdown
was made by Yale just at the finish of the game
and was too late 10 be counted.
The teams lined up at o'clock as follows:

A Dinner to the Maritime Delegates

The dinner given by the admiralty lawyers
of New York city to the legal members OF the
international marine conference at the Hotel
Brunswick Saturday evening had the compare
lively unusual merit says the Sun. of being a
pretty sight as well a more than square meal.
The tables, arranged in the form of a horse
shoe, not only groaned with good things but
with things which were fragrant and beautiful.
Masses of red, yellow and pink chrysanthemums
alternated with roses, while candelabra, orna-
mented with green wreaths, and fairy-like pieces
of confectionery not to speak of fruit artstically
arranged, afforded an almost infinite variety.
The dinner was given TO DIR. FIR. Sieveking of
Hamburg. Germany; Charles Hall, Q. c., of
England; Fred w. Verney, representative of
Siam; William W. Goodrich of the United
States of America, II. A. p. Carter Of Hawaii
and DIR. Alberto Min of Uruguay. The last
two were not present, but in their places were
Baron dc Spawn, who Is an Austrian admiral.
and one or two other guests who were more
marine than legal William Allen Butler pre-
sided.

Cowan OF Princeton had declined to referee
on account of the bad blood between Harvard
and Princeton, and Porter Of the 1887 Harvard
team was substituted. Ned Peace of Princeton
| acted umpire.
GRAPHIC ACCOUNT OF THE CONTEST.
Yale started with the ball and rushed it down
into Harvard's territory, where, with some few
exceptions, it remained during the rest of the
game. Yale gained almost all her ground
through rush line play. while Harvard excelled
in the running and lodging Of her half backs
and the kicking of ID. Trafford, her full back.
Newell Of Yale and stickney Of Harvard were
sent to the bench during the first half for slug
ging. Hevworth and Blanchard were substi-
tuted and the game merrily proceeded.
sharp brilliant play was the order of the half
Some of the dashes by both teams were excel
lent, but most of them were stopped after a
doing the best work. With only two minutes
of play left Wurtemburg succeeded in running
around the left end of Harvard's line and was
only rushed out of bounds a few feet short of
the goal line. The ball was quickly carried out
10 yards, and by sheer force Of muscle McClung
was forced across Harvards line, making a
touch down. Time up before the goal
could be kicked, but by the new rules time was
allowed to kick the goal, which was also done
by McClung. Score-Yale 6, Harvard 0.
THE SECOND HALF
was almost a repetition of the first. Harvard
came within an ace of scoring goal from the
field, only failing by few inches. Just as time
was called McClung was within a few yards of
Harvard's goal with clear field and sure
touchdown before him, but time waits for no
man and Harvard was saved frSsn a worse de-
feat
No one had been hurt in the game and the
play throughout had been sharp, exciting and
remarkably even.
Yale students painted New Haven a very
crimson red in most painstaking way on Sat-
urday evening.
