A Holiday Triumph.

1 heard today of an original wager made by number of Harvard students. One of them was willing to back him. self to any amount that he could eat forty griddle cakes within three hours. The others took him up to the amount of forty dollars, and went to certain restaurant on Newspaper row on Co- lumbus Day to do the feat. Eighteen cakes were disposed of at the first sit ting, then the man went for walk of thirty minutes. Upon returning he ate fifteen more. His stomach then rebelled, but seven cakes remained to be eaten.
 A large crowd had collected by this time, vastly interested in so unnatural an experiment. But the Harvard man, although receiving much good humored advice, followed his own line of experi- mentation. The chairs were cleared for arush to the street at intervals. and he finished the seven. two at a time then three, having eaten the forty in
 hours. He was living and well wtVl last heard from. Boston Record.

Queer Food.

The hedgehog figures frequently il sylvan repasts, though he is hardly big enough to be sent to table as a piece dt resistance. The primitive manner oi cooking it supersedes the most costly re finements of elaborate batteries de cui sine. The elephants foot, or rather the slice below the pastern, which is a ia. nous dainty in eastern hunting camps is treated on precisely similar principles which shows that the simplest cookery of all nations has much in common. like their folklore.
 Shakespeares British hedgepig, like its cousin, the porcupine, is shrouded in 8 plastic tenement of clay. Then he is laid to temporary rest in bed of smol. dering cinders. When supposed to be done to turn, the dwarf pig is dug up, and then the prickly skin is detached with the splitting of the case of clay. All the generous juices, with their bou. Quet, have been confined and transfused. London Saturday Review.

Brokers Have Fun with a Governor.


 1t is barren subject out of which Wall street fails to get some fun. Gov. ernor Flowers opinion that Friday, Oct. 2f, was not legal holiday had in it too much serious meaning not to invite bur Iesque. Raillery came thick and fast after it had fairly started, especially when it seemed to be settled that the governor had put his foot in 1t. By Wednesday night the fun lovers decided that the governor deserved sympathy on the ground that he was the only man in the land who would work Friday. Tele- grams in this strain multiplied Thurs day. and when business ended that day messages enough were put on the wire to make the day certainly one of labor for the governors secretary.
 Besides telegrarns purely sympathetic, some of the senders demanded that the governor stand firm for state sovereignty against the national decree; others of- fered recruits to the "corporal's guard of Friday laborers.' One of the senders expressed the hope that the close of Fri day would not find the governor "a dropping Flower. "-New York Times.

The Girl Has Achieved Much.

Mis- Edith Emily Read has just beaten the record in Girton girls. She is now doing some responsible work on the labor commission, which comes as the climax of a singularly successful career. Here is bare record of her achieve ments; Goldsmiths and Clothworkers' scholarship, from the North London Col legiate school to Girton fifty pounds, each for three years), wrangler, 1901; first class moral science tripos (after only years study, 1899; Therese Mon tehore memorial prize of fifty pounds 1899 for most distinguished student at Girton; prizes of twenty pounds each from Goldsmithc and Clothworkers' companies in recognition of her wran- glership.

An Interestlnr Phenomenon.

An amusing story is told in connection with Professor Henry, of the Smithso- nian institution, who died some fourteen years ago It is told by gentleman who once travelled from Montreal to Bos- ton with the professor. lie says that while they were waiting for a steamer the professor was talkative and commu- nicative in his quiet way, and was full of incidents of travel and adventure.
 Soon the steamer appeared in sight, and while she was approaching us the professor sat upon the wharf, looking dreamily at her. Presently he aroused himself and said,
 "l see peculiar sparkle of the waves near the side of the steamer. where the sun shines upon her." It was almost sunset.) ''l wonder what the cause of f. is? l have seen phosporescent light be- fore, but never exactly like this. And see, there it is also upon the other, the darker side of the steamer. Well, cer- tainiy that is very curiousT
 We all looked Indeed it did seem remarkable. First upon the bright side of the steamer and then upon the dark side would appear these curious flashes of light and disappear almost instantly. They seemed to come at regular inter- vals, and it was strange and beautiful sight.
 Our reveries were presently disturbed by the approach of one of the customs inspectors. He glanced at us with some curiosity and then said. "Lookin at them hashesY'
 "Yes," replied the professor, rousing himself from his absorbed meditation of the phenomenon; "l wonder what they are.r
 "Oh," said the inspector carelessly, "them's hot ashes they're throwin out of the ash pits"
 The professor was nonplused for moment. Then he recovered his senses and said quietly, "Well, well, live and learn--live and learn" and lapsed into silence. Youths Companion.

The PronuncIatIon of . Name.

Now that John Philip Sousa has To- cated in Chicago we think it proper tc correct growing misapprehension as to the correct pronunciation of his name. A certain wealthy and cultured and in. huential society faction on the South Side call him Souse-er, and ut the Chi ! cago club ii IS seriously argued that the eminent musician was called to this city not only in recognition of his genius and talents, but also and especial ly because it was fancied that his name, Identified with music development here. would stand as an enduring tribute to one of the greatest industries in the packing house quarter of our civiliza- tion. About the only joke that Phil Armour ever cracked was when he put this conundrum to q group of friends the other evening. Why am like the leader of our famous bandy"

 In spite of Mir. Armour's pretty wit md in spite of South Side usages, Mir. Sousa's name is not correctly pronounced Souse-er; the correct pronunciation of inc name is as if the name were spelled 3-o-o-s-a-h, with the accent upon the pe- uult. - Chicago News Record.

A Serious Case.

Uncle Silas was a very honest and pious old colored man who preached on Sundays and had great influence for good upon the others in the settlement. During one of his revival seasons, among dozen or 30 at the mourners' bench was a black boy called Eph, about twenty years old and for long time unregenerate. Uncle Silas was greatly rejoiced to see him come forward, and at once went to him. Eph was crying.
 "Haint no use in nay cornin up," he sobbed. "rse sinned away de day ob grace"
 "No, you ain't, brudder," protested Uncle Silas. You am de kin what de Lawd wants to save All you got to do is to gib up sin"
 "I'se dun dun dat, Uncle Silas," sobbed Eph. but dey ain't no salvation fer me"
 "Yes, dey is, too, honey. Dey ain't no sin so black dat hit ain't washed white as snow"
 "l done stole fou' chickens las week" |" confessed the penitent
 Oats all fuggib, Eph'm."
 But dem two was you'n. Uncle Silas. Dem fat bullets you low'd so much sto' by, Uncle Silas."
 "Wha' dat" exclaimed Uncle Silas suddenly.
 Dem las two wuz 70 bullets, Uncle Silas," sobbed Eph.
 Uncle Silas became solemn and stern.
 "l reckon, Eph'm," he said slowly. you case needs advisement wid pra'r. l ain't sho dat we wanter be clutterin up de kingdom of hebben wid chicken thieves, an you better stay right on de mo'ners' bench till de meetin am done, and we kin dezamine you state ob sin for perticklers.

element was the more enthusiastic and
confident. Such stalWarts OF the new
generation of leaders as Hon. Dan W.

took prominent part In framing the

assisted at every point, and ably, too,
by the older leaders. OF course the
convention was harmonious from start
to finish, as a Democratic convention
should be, and the result was the nomi-
nation Of ticket composed Of strong,
able and popular men from Mayor
Smith on down the list.
1t was not speech-making body,
even the eloquent Willis, in making the
speech placing Mayor Smith in nomina-
ton, was brief, although his effort was
polished and effective. Hon. John II.
Ives was at ms best in his speech

this pleased the delegates. for they

The entire ticket was nominated and
the work of the convention performed
in about two hours.
The speech of Mayor Smith in ac-
cepting the nomination pleased the
boys. The mayor, as is well known,
does not take 10 speechmaking, and
avoids 1t whenever he can. But yester-
day morning when he stepped upon'the
platform and faced the enthusiastic rep
resentatiYes of the solid and harmOni-

fected. The delegates cheered and ex-
pressed their enthusiasm and admira-

mayor hardly felt like making a speech.
The speech of Mr.. Willis was COM
plimentary, but it was not like the
plaudits of several thousand people.

in the main to all expression OF thanks;
but It was so appropriate, and meant so
much, that at its conclusion the dele
