and look like tlJ arch OF u great gate
way. The knife is t0a feet long, the
blade 10 inches wide. The fork is n
feet long. The handles were made by
the proprietor of the store out of an
extra large pair Of elephants tusks, and

A manufacturer of foot balls wrote to
the secretary football club" of town
in Wales soliciting orders. He received
from the parish clerk reply which
read; 1--WE have no clubs of the kind
here. We are better Christians than to
allow our young men to indulge in
such wicked pastilnes. Let them read
their Bibles and common prayers and
think of death" The admonition to the
football player to "think of death" is
timely. They generally do before the
game is half over. But the reply of the
parish clerk shows that Wales is dc.
cidedly poor place for young man to
obtain u thorough college education.
