The Century for January -.

The first instalment of the Sc
lections from Talleyrand's long
expected Memoirs is the most
striking feature of the January
Century. A sketch of Tallevrand
by Minister Whitelaw Reid pref
aces this instalment. The openil g
pages tell of Talleyrand's ne ,lect-
ed childhood, and his entry into
Palisian society. They also give
his views of La Fayette, ard tie
effect of the American on the
French Revolution; some account
of the beginnings of the latter; a
very contemptucus opinion of the
Duke ofOrleans; a sketch of the
authors stay In England and the
United States, and a highly inter-
eshng conversation between him
self and Alexander Hamilton on
Free Trade and Protection.

MO DOUBT A GREAT MANY PEOPLE

MO DOUBT A GREAT MANY PEOPLE
~ were surprised to learn that the Young
Mems Christian Association had secured ath-
le.ie grounds Of their own. That is a fact, how
ever, and the grounds are equal to anything Of
the kind in this locality. They have leased the
old Atlantic Park, at the corner of 18th and U
streets, containing some three and one-quarter
acres Here the young men belonging to the
association can play base ball and tennis or run,
Jump and exercise their muscles to their hearts
content. As has been stated, perhaps some
people will wonder little, and then perhaps
some others will wonder great deal more, why
in the world young mems Christian association
wants Athletic grounds The popular idea, or
rather the idea that used to be more prevalent
than it is now, is that the young men who be-
long to the association spend their time In
singing Moody and Sankey hymns, in praying
and in making religious addresses. There is
also an idea that young mems Christian as
sOciation young man has sickly appearance
and habby muscles. and that after all Is
said and done they are rather poor specimens
OF men, whether young or old 10 one or tins
way OF thinking suggestion to contrast such
association with any of the social clubs, for
example, would be ridiculous. But during the
past lew years, since, especially, some OF the
present members became life members and
ma now lnt.t they DelOnS 10 an CAPITALIZATION
which offers many advantages besides contri-
buting to their religious welfare, the situation
has changed very much with the association in
this city. 1t now has home of its own, which
Is valued at SlO0, COO and Is practically free
from debt 1t has first-class gymnasium with
a competent instructor. it maintains parlors
and reading rooms, 1t sustains business school
with a curriculum of ten studies, it holds So
cial meetings and religious meetings, and now
1t adds to its facilities by providing frst-class
athletic grounds. The association has no buffet
or dining room, but with these exceptions
there is no club in this city elsewhere
that furnishes more advantages than the asso-
clation offers That this condition Of affairs is
appreciated is evident from the fact that the
roll now contains the names OF over 200 men,
bcrs, or. to be exact, there were ], EOS members
on the 3ist of March last Yet in spite of its
base ball and its gymnasium and its athletic
grounds and its great material progress the as

the association not only attractive, but Of
great value. The leading men in the profess
sions from time to time deliver lectures. Re-
Gently q series of Sunday afternoon addresses
have been made by members of the United
States Supreme Court Such men as Mr.. Will
Liam B. Gurley, who, by the way, is the active
and energetic president Of the association: Mr..
s. W. Woodward, the senior member Of the
firm of Woodward Il Lothrop, the proprietors
of the Boston Store; Mr.. B. H. Warner, Mr..
John B. Larner, E. W. Woodruff. DIR. Joseph
Taber Johnson, Mr.. G.. W. F. Swartzell. Mr..
Charles b. Bailey and Mr.. T. A. Harding are
members of the board of directors. Under the
direction of these energetic and practical men the
association has entered upon career Of great
prosperity. Already their building on New York
avenue mas been found to be inadequate for the
needs of the increasing membership and before
long another site will be purchased and fine
building erected.
Just now to a large number Of the members
the new athletic grounds are matter Of absorb
ing interest.

What 1t Costs to Smoke.
From the Kansas City Tfmes.


Dr. r. b. Nofsinger, Kansas City's post
master. does not smoke very much, but he has
nevertheless sent number Of greenbacks up in
the clouds during the past thirty years The
doctor is q comfortable sort of man
and likes to enjoy the good things go
ing. He does not smoke more than Ave
cigars day.he thinks more might be injuri-
Gus to his health This makes a total of l50
per month or 1,S00 in q year. which number
multiplied by 80, the number of years the doc
tor has been given to the weed, gives grand
total of $4,000. These cigars retail at 10 cent
apiece, but DR.. Nofsinger buys them by the
hundred and in that way the expense is but Z
cents to the unit. At cents apiece the 81. 600
cigars smoked in thirty years would cost IS, $780,
Had these been purchased at 10 cents apiece
the expense would have been S5,4OO And in
consideration of the fact that the postmaster is
pretty good kind Of a fellow he must have
given away about 81 900 worth. Rather a snug
sum of money, the moderate smokers cigar
bill for thirty years.

She Wanted a Nice Picture.

from the Boston Traveller
A local photographer tells story Of young
man who came into the studio one day and
asked nervously if he might have little con-
versation with him.
The visitor was painfully ugly and. after some
awkward blushing and indefinite illusions, he
asked the artist if he supposed he had among
his samples picture of any young man who
looked like him, but was better looking.
"What do you mean, young MANI" asked the
photographer.
We'll" replied he, making clean breast of
it. Il am just engaged to be married. The

Mixed Thoughts,


The word pajamas seems to old-fashioned
people most absurd one. perhaps because it is
SO markedly foreign and unlike English. and it
not infrequently happens that persons are
found to whom the word does not convey any
definite meaning.
Not long ago a young lady, who had Just
come out" and who is shy to degree almost
painful, was seated at dinner beside an elderly
man who was very hard Of hearing. The
knowledge of her neighbours infirmity added
to the young lady's difidence in the matter of
addressing him, and, as he said nothing to her.
they sat side by side in silence for almost the
entire meal.
As the dessert appeared upon the table, how
ever. the lady made desperate attempt deter
mined that she would not allow her shyness to
conquer her, and having cast about for a theme
of conversation, found it in the fruit Just be-
fore her.
do you like bananas?" she inquired Of her
neighbor in as distinct and audible Q voice as
she could command.
The old gentleman turned upon her look Of
some surprise, not unmixed with q suspicion of
disapproval at her question.
II never wear them" he said laconically;
the old-fashioned night shirt is quite good
enough for me-"
The effect upon the young lady may be
imagined.

The shortstop's position is at present being
filled by Mr.. Chas. Moore, who is so well known
to local players as the manager of the old
Alerts: His long experience in base ball has
made him well qualified to fill any position,
and he will be tower Of strength to the Y. NJ.
G. A. He is an excellent fielder and sure,
safe hitter. He is a new man, but has taken
a warm interest in the association work.
Another new man who gives promise of do
ing good work is Harry Perry, also of the old
perior in outfield play, but his strong forte is
batting. He will give some of the amateur
league and A.A.U. pitchers q warm drubbing
before the season is over.
In the pitchers box the association has
several good men who have shown talent. Be-
sides johnson and Myers, there is Catlin, who
pitched for the team last year and did excellent
work, but who has not pitched any hard games
until this year. He has good speed and fair
control of the ball and does not get easily
ratified.
Holbrook, another Of the pitchers is also ex-
pected to do good work this year. He is well
known among local amateurs, having played
against them on the local team at his home in
Virginia.
James Madigan, who will join the team and
play second base, is an excellent player and
can hold his own in any company He is at
present unable to get away from his work at
the bureau of printing and engraving.
Chas. Howard, another new man, is being
tried for a position in the infeld. He played
third for the Baltimore Association last wear in
their game at Capitol Park, and barring a little
wild throwing to first played good game.
Among the candidates the committee has the
following to select from: Messrs. Sanborn,
Mckinley, Seitz, Hough, Hendley, Scribner,
Joe Johnston, Esgan. Good win and others.
The second team Of the association last year
made for themselves quite q record, beating
several prominent amateur teams, among them
the Potomac Athletics. They will organize
again this year and Mr.. James Hendley will
probably be in charge again. He is an earnest
worker and will undoubtedly succeed in his un-

which give him success in his work and es-
pecially make him popular with young men.
ATHLETIC RECORDS.
The association has not gone into outdoor
athletics without mature elaboration. Two
years ago a lot at Mount Pleasant was fenced
in for use for athletic grounds But little was
done in that direction. Last year greater
activity was shown and the grounds at New
York avenue and NJ street were used The field
day at Capitol Park on September % last was a
genuine surprise to all.
Among the contestants were: II. G. Seitz, II.

G. NJ. Denham, W. E. Buell., A. NJ. Catlin. R. J.

proficiency, as for examples: Pole vault. feet

putting twelve-pound shot 40 feet, throwing
