Umbrellas will last much longer If, when
they are wet, they are placed handle down
ward to dry. The moisture falls from the
edges of the frame, and the fabric dries
uniformly. If stood handle upward, as is
commonly the case, the top of the umbrella
holds the moisture, owing to the lining I'M
derneath the ring; it consequently takes
long time to dry, and Injuries the silk or
other fabric with which 1t is covered. This
Is the main cause Of the umbrella wearing
out so soon at the top. Umbrella cases are
responsible for the wear Of the silk. The
constant friction causes tiny holes that ap-
pear 80 provokingly early When not in
use the umbrella should be,left loose and
when wet left looseto dry.

Randall as a Private Soldier,

1T seems to have escaped attention"
said member of the City Troop, THAT
Allen, the Mississippi Congressman, is
very wrong in making his boast that
he is the only member of the House of
Representatives who was private
soldier of the war. The truth is that
Samuel j. Randall stood right along
side of him in that honorable condition.
Mr.. Randall went with the troop when
it was called out for the ninety days
service in 1861. and he came back a
private, as he had gone as one:
perhaps It is news to the present
generation, who hare only known Mr..
Randall as a stout gentleman whose
movements were not agile, that he was
once fine horseman. We had scarce
ly better rider when we were taken
into the national military service. He
bestrode rather fractious horse that
he guided and controlled with perfect
science. He was an expert in the
cavalry sabre drill, and there was
scarcely a better swordsman in the
troop. We were all sorry to lose him
when he stripped himself of his soldier
clothes to go to Congress. He has
made all the fame since then that any
man could desire, but for all that we
who were his old companions can't
help feeling that if he had remained
soldier, instead of doing his enormous
work as a Congressman, he would be
living to-day. ~ Philadelphia Inquirer.

A NEW PROPOSITION.

Senate Irrigation Committee APP
pear In Opposition to ParnelPs
Plan.
The senators from Washington, Montana,
North and South Dakota took another
whirl at Powell yesterday before the ap-
preparation committee, and this time were
reinforced by Senator Teller of Colorado,
who has been Senator Powell's friend here
tofore. The irrigation committee submitted
a new proposition to be incorporated in the
appropriation bill in place of the $720, 900
Powell proposition in the house bill. 1t is
that 100000 is to be appropriated for
artesian experimental irrigation and $780,
600 for an irrigation survey, all the work to
be carried on by the department of agri-
culture instead of the geological survey.
Chairman Allison, of the appropriations
committee, was very searching in his ques-
hons. He asked Allen about the irrigation
of Washington, Power about Montana and
Casey and Moody about the Dakotas.
Senator Casey, having spent conf iderable
time in investigating irrigation matters in
North Dakota, was ableto give the commit
tee great deal of information relative to
his state.
While no conclusion was reached by the
committee, it is believed the Powell faction
will be defeated and the work of irrigation
in the future,wil be placed in the hands of
the secretary of agriculture. Ifthis is done
Powell will be checkmated in his
attempt to withdraw all the
irrigable lands and all lands
in the vicinity of such lands from home.
stead settlement 1t is probable that the
secretary of agriculture would direct that
all reservoir and canal sites be withheld and
the other lands be opened for settlement as
before. 1t was developed at yesterdays ex-
animation that the North Dakota artesian
basin extended as lar west in Montana as
where the thirteenth meridian crossed the
boundary line, and from this point south
east along the foothills of the mountains.
1t is said that two senators asserted that
they would bring charges against Powell in
the senate and have him investigated.

VICTORIA, B. c., Specialize news tele-
graphed from Port Townsend that special
messenger had arrived from Washington
with instructions for the commanders of
the United States cruisers to proceed to
the Behring sea and seize all vessels found
with any evidence that they had been en-
gagged in the seal fishery causes great indig-
nation.
At the same time comes the story that the
British squadron has been ordered to rem
devious at Esquimault. The majority of
the British Columbians, however believe
that no matter what acts of piracy may be
committed by the Yankees the British war
ships will not interfere.
For this reason Canadians will take the
matter into their hands and meet force
with force on the high seas. 1t is known
that the crews of all vessels proceeding to
the sealing grounds were fully armed with
a view OF resisting seizure, but to-day the
story leaked out that two clipper schooners
are being secretly fitted out in Maple bay
especially to meet the Yankees.
It's said that these vessels will each carry
heavy swivel besides two smaller guns,
and disguised as sealGrs will tempt seizure
so as to bring On an encounter. Regarding
the story Capt. Scott, ySteEESain-sea SteEEan seaIeT, says
that the report is no doubt true, but that the
matter had been kept secret for Tear G. OF
two vessels in whicN he was, interested had
armed their crews, and before sailing swore
to go czthe bottom rather than submit to
seizure.

A Good Football Player.

"What makes a good football
player?" is question asked over and
over again. Many are the answers
given, but no answer is correct that
does not contain the word "pluck."
The same elements that go to make up
excellence in any of the other field sports
are requisite in football; but while
in certain of the others that peculiar
type Of courage called pluck is only re-
quired in q moderate degree, in foot
ball it is absolutely Indispensable
Many man has said: ooh! am too
small to play football, couldn't get
on the team" Such a man makes a
mistake. Look at the records of our
players and see how full they are of
the names of small men. Wilmington,
Gushing, Harding, Hodge, Beecher,
and twenty others, have played weigh
ing under hundred and forty! Nor
has it been that their deeds have been
remembered because performed by
such small men. These men made
points as we'll as regulations. There
is place on the football field for a
man, no matter what he weighs.
This brings US to another quality: the
brains of team. The team is the best
which has the most brains. Football
is, even now, an undeveloped sport.
There is room for an almost infinite
number of as yet unthought of plays.
Every season brings forward many
new ones. If player wishes to de-
vote little of his spare time to fas-
cinating amusement, let him take PEN
Gil and plan out combinations in the
evening, and try them the next day.
Hewll G0op find that he is bringing
out Sot only new but successful plays.
! Some think that the ~CaptaIn Uf~ttt1Iee t11e
varsity team is the only one who has
an opportunity to try this; but if two
the attempt they will find that a var
sity team is no more proof against
new scheme than the veriest scrub
team in existence. In fact oftentimes
the varsity players are so sublime in
their own consciousness of superiori-
ty that they are the simplest men on
the field to lead into traps, and defeat
by little exercise of ingenuity. If
boy at school isn't on the first team, he
can get together few men of the Sec
ond team and have the satisfaction of
actually showing his betters how to
play.
PLAY not for gain but sport" is
thoroughly sound; but it means play
honestly and hard, not listlessly and
carelessly, and make it your sport to
win. Then if you lose, put a good face
on it, but go home and think out way
to win next time. Brains will beat
brute strength every time if you give
them fair play.
Endurance is another element of
success. Plenty of dash when it is ne
cessary, but behind it there must be
the steady, even, staying qualities.
For these, good training is chiefly re-
sponsible; because, although natural
endurance does not exist in some men,
it is not common, while the endurance
of we'll trained men is a thing that can
be relied upon with confdence.--W Wal
ter Camp, in st. Nicholas.

A Prayer over weary oxen.

Elder John Stephens held a psstor-
ate in the Free Baptist church at
Gardiner forty odd years old. Nature
has dealt generously with Elder John.
His big heart was incased In an iron
frame of mammoth proportions. Re
markable alike for the sincere piety
and genuine humor, the good man so
tempered his teachings as to make
them acceptable to saint and sinner.
Riding one day along the road to West
Gardiner, he overlook an OK team that
was stuck in the mud. The discour-
aged cattle had refused to pull, and
the driver, who had sworn till the air
was blue was preparing to reel off
another string of oaths, when the par
son stopped his horse and said: "Try
prayer my friend. Try prayer"
TRY it yourself, y retorted the vexed
teamster.
"I'll do it, said Elder John, and
