BrRKE vs.. DONALDSON.

The prize fight last nj ght between Burke
and Donaldson came of at the pillow works
and as anticipated was no great shakes.
The boys would probably have had fight
had it not been as usual that there was too
much inclination amongst the audience to
take a hand. Burke was seconded by Jetty
and Morris aud johnson and Hammond
held the sponge for Donaldson The
stakes was a hundred dollars and share
of gate receipts
Rowland was referee and Taylor and
Spar timekeepers. The first round de-
veIoped nothing except some little agility
and lots Of encouragement from the gang.
In the second round there was a fall
climed by both and given TO neither. In
the third round first blood was allowed 20
Burke The fourth, fifth sixth, seventh
and eighth rounds were without
any result beyond developing the fact that
Burke had little the best OF IL, being the
heavier of the two. A kind Of general
fight was kept up outside Of the ring and
at one time the lights were blown out TO
prevent trouble. The ninth round was
decisive and Donaldson fell with Burke on
top. Donaldson was hurt by the spikes IN
Burke's shoes and claimed a foul which
was not allowed. Donaldson then refused
to fight any more and the battle was given

COLL G. EDUCATION.

.:urdrtts ThtaAS Il'S M Ehty Good
 Thia< to ;Iava Ohe.
 The present. prominence given to the question of whether college education fits or urG a hoy for business life has elicitGd t;iu following expression from Burdrt5a, in the Hone Magazine:
 Give all tho years to study that you can. collcgA education will make youa better blacksmith, better farmer, better carpenter. Other things being equal--natur&l ability, industry, ambi tion, tact, application-of two men, the college man will be the better equipped man for any work in which he may en- gage.
 One day last week I took drive with farmer up in York State" He wore ''tailor-made" clothes, kid gloves, long cuffs, swell collar and a high hat. He drove a stopper to a cart that made you feel proud and rich. His farm paid for all these things. When he wanted to i go to the circus, he bought dollar seat and went. He didn't drive to town seventeen miles on | jag of wood, to sell 1t for fifty cents. He farmed because he liked the business, loved country l life, and there was money in it. He was graduate of Cornell University, and that is the kind of a farmer he was. | It stands to reason that the more a man knows, the more sense he has, the better fitted he is for any position ex- cept that of petit juror.
 Of course there are some boys whom you can't educate. There are some boys who can learn books by heart, who go to college and graduate, go to university and graduate, go to Europe and finish, and come home knowing so much less than they did when they went away that they are disqualified even for sitting on a coroner's jury. If you are that kind of boy, which you are not, why, oi course, you had better not go to school at all. Schools are conducted for the purpose of furnishing instruction fol the mind; they don't agree to furnish the mind too. You have to take that tC school with you.

SUBMARINE VISION.
How Things Look at and Near the Bo
 tom or the Sea.

How Things Look at and Near the Bot
 tom Of the Sea.
 M. Hermann Fol, in lecture upon Expressions of Diver," delivered be- fore the Nautical Club of Nice, and pub lished in full in the Revue Scientifique, gives, among other things, some inter- esting observations made by him upon submarine vision by means of the diving suit with which the laboratory installed by him at Nice is provided. According to M. Fol, the illumination of the bot tom of the sea resembles that of room withoutwindows, which receives it's light from glazed aperture in the center of the ceiling. If the diver, after reach ing the bottom, looks upward, he will see large circular luminous space that may be considered as the base of an in- verted cone, of which the eye occupies the apex The periphery of this circle is more or less ragged, since the surface is never abso- lutely calm. The rays of the sun are pale, and penetrate in moving waves that resemble what we see in a room near the seaside when the Venetian blinds are down and the rays of the sun, reflected from the movable surface, il- illuminate the ceiling. The transparency of the water varies greatly along the coast from one day to another. When the water is relatively clear it absorbs so much light that, at a depth of ninety five feet, when the sky is overcast, it is impossible to see plainly enough to capture very small animals. It is inn l possible under such circumstances to distinguish rock at a distance of more than twenty-five or twenty-six feet in a horizontal direction. If the sun is shin | ing and the water is limpid 1t is possi- ble to see brilliant object at a dis tance of sixty-fve feet, perhaps even at seventy-five feet. M. Fol concludes ! from these facts that marine animals move about as if in fog, and can not avoid surprises. Our fishing apparatus would prove unavailable for capturing animals that were capable of seeing to some distance. There is another point that M. Fol insists upon, and that is that submarine boat can not see it's way under such circumstances. Pro- | vided it be swift it will not have time | to back astern when 1t sees some large | obstacle loom up before it, since, at the moment of distinguishing the object,
 the boat would not be more than thirty feet distant therefrom. The color of the water varies from blue to greenish,
 according to its degree of clearness.
 Even at a depth of thirty feet objects take on 8 bluish tint, and at seventy five or ninety-ive feet the light is al- ready so blue that animals of dark red color appear to be black, while the green and bluish algae seem very light in comparison. Upon rapidly ascend ing to the surface the aerial landscape appears red to the eye that has get
 accustomed to this blue light.

IN COLONIAL TIMES.
Marriage Among the Dutch Settlers Ii
 Early New York.

Marriage Among the Dutch Settlers h
 Early New York.
 The law then required the publishing of the banns three successive times in religious meeting before marriage toob place. After the first notice there wa, usually dance, and after the marriage festivities were often kept up for three days in succession. It was customary for the groom, after the ordeal of pro posing the question, to make his in. tended bride a present of some kind, usually pair of silver shoe-buckles. sleeve-buttons or snuff-box.
 Clergymen were not very plenty in those days, and the marriage must be arranged to suit the dominie's coming.
 It is related that a young Dutch swain and his rosy-cheeked JtGncee, liv. ing near Albany, were anxiously await ing their marriage day. They resided on the north side of a creek, and the hard-worked dominic, making his way to unite them, lived on the south side of the same stream. As the fates would have it, severe storm arose, with heavy rains falling the night previous to the marriage day, and the creek became so swollen as to make it absolutely im-
 
 Its current became more rapid every hour. The dominic reached the usual fording-place at the appointed time, but it would cost him his life to attempt to cross. What was to be done? He made one trial, then turned his horse to retrace his steps, when he was hailed by two voices on the opposite side, who en- treated him to remain, and which he oA InsI oS,I groom. After some debate, the dominic called out: ''Stop! Stand were you be, and will make you man and wife. '" In the meantime the friends of the be- trothed arrived from the brides house in the neighborhood. It was a singu- lar spectacle. The dominic read the marriage service on the margin of the creek, while the bridal party stood on the opposite side. After the ceremony was over, the company turned to leave. Here was another dilemma, which cast a cloud of deep anxiety over the good old mans face, usually so tranquil.
 ''Stop den, my young friends, von moment, if you please. You can not toss the four guilders across the creek, but you can leave them at the first house below. Tell dem it is Dominic Van Benschooten's marriage fee, and I will call and get 1t" He put these di- rections in good Dutch, then mounted his horse and rode off.
 This recalls the story of the good old dominic in Brooklyn who came to per form similar office. The groom was English, the bride was Dutch. The masterful Englishman wanted the serv- ice in English, and after some hesita- tion, and with many misgivings, the dominic consented to do his best. The service was nearly over when, encour- aged by his apparent success in master ing the English tongue, the worthy man said, in stentorian tones: ''I now pro- nounce you two one beef"-Mrs. M. P. Ferris, in Harper's Bazar

NOT TO RE coNsoLED.

Sad Plight of Young Man Who Lost .
 Wedding Suit and Bride.
 He was sitting on bench at the Union Depot, with his hands thrust deep into his trousers pockets, his feet stretched out in front of him, his head bent forward on his chest, and his hat pulled down over his eyes
 Whats the matter with you ?'' in- quired policeman, touching him on the shoulder.
 He looked up a moment with dull, heavy, lack-luster eyes. and then looked down again.
 "Pm sober," he said. You needn't waste any of your valuable time on me. don't need looking after"
 'tBut you have been sitting here an hour without saying word or moving itq" - e. A' -0 "I don't think you can help me any"
 Perhaps I can. That's what I'm here for"
 "Humph '"
 Have you had your pocket picked 9''
 'Worse than that."-
 "Been worked by confidence men P''
 "Worse.'
 Been held up and robbed ?''
 ''Worse"
 "You seem to be all here. don't see any arms. legs or any thing missing.'
 ''No!' snorted the young man. ''You don't see any thing missing! Every things missing!"
 He jumped up, pushed his hat back, and burst out: ''Do you see this valse?"
 ''Yes"
 Well, it isn't mine. It's just like mine, but it belongs to a man that is halfway between here and the end of the world by this time. He took my valise by mistake last night when he had to change cars. and didn't find it out till noon to-day"
 ''Well, that doesn't seem to be kill ing natter
 'It doesn't. hey? That valise had my wedding suit in it. sir! I was to have been married an hour ago. The girl is waiting for me at house on Division street, the preacher is there, the folks are wondering what's up, and the we'd ding Victuals are getting cold.''
 ''Why don't you go and be married in that suit you have on? It looks all right"
 ''This suit? These are the clothes I courted her in!''
 "What of it? Go and explain the case to her.'
 "She'd think the explanation was a little too thin"
 Brace up, young fellow," said the | policeman. Whats a suit of clothes, anyhow? Clothes don't make the man. '
 The forlorn youth threw himselfdown on the bench again, thrust his hands deep into his trousers pockets, stuck his feet straight out in front of him, bent his head forward on his chest pulled his hat down over his eyes, and said, in muffied voice:
 'tNo; clothes don't make the man, my friend. But they make the bridegroom and don't you forget itr'
 And when the policeman came round that way again, an hour or two after ward, the young man was sitting in ex actly the same attitude, except that his hands were little deeper in his trouser! pockets and his hat pulled little fur ther down over his eyes.-Chicago Trib | une.
