A GRAND ROWING RACE
For the College Championship Of
the World
MAY Be HELD AT CHICAGO.
A. q. spauIding Considering This idea
Pawtucket Defeated at Rink PoIo-Ex-
citing Game at Brockton--T Tennis Un-
der Cover-second Day Of the Tourney.

CHICAGO, Dec. l5.-A. G. Spaulding,
who holds the position Of manager of
athletics at the Worlds fair, is consider
ing the idea Of having a grand rowing
race for the college championship of the
world. The matter has been broached to
the winning crews of Oxford and Cam
bridge in Europe and Harvard ana Yale
The promoters have not, perhaps, the
matter of purely aquatic supremacy in
mind, and college prominence is being
more considered. Cornell thinks IL
should be represented, and undoubtedly
will be.
The principal question is to find a suit
able course on which to row. A course
could be made at Pullman at reasonable
cost. There are also several good courses
within a hundred miles of the city. The
management thinks the race would be
the greatest athletic event of the time.
Mr.. Spaulding is expecting to hear from
both English crews within a few days, as
on their willingness to come here depends
the success Of the scheme.

OF the American Federation or Labor.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 15.-At the
third days session OF the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor, the committee on reso-
lutions reported plan to create national
or international unions whenever seven
local unions OF any craft had been formed.
The debate which followed was sus-
pended by the appearance of ex-senator
Henry w. Blair of New Hampshire, who
addressed the assembled delegates on his
proposed improvement of the common
school system. The speaker expressed
the belief that. revulsion of sentiment
had taken place In favor OF the Blair edu-
cational bill which may result In its pas
sage by the next Congress.
He was particularly hopeful because OF
the increased favor with which the pub
lie schools have apparently been regarded
by the Roman Catholic church, and said:
"With the favorable regard and probable
corporation of Catholic power In this
country, the friends of the educational
bill may look with hope upon the pros
poets OF its passage in the near future"

The habits Of modern young men
ire antagonistic to that prudence and
nreparation which make it possible
Tor them to marry at twenty-five,
writes John Lambert Payne IN an ex-
haustive article upon this important
question in the Ladies Home Jour
oal. There are many exceptions, oil
course, but it may be safely said that
vast number Of the young men VINO
live in our time I'LL their spare hours
with exhaustive luxuries. 1t costs
them a great deal to dress, and sui
more to keep up their social engage
ments. In a score Of ways they ac-
custom themselves to ways OF life
that leave no margin between income
and outgo. This having gone on un-
bill they are twenty-five, it then calls
for more resolution than many OF
them command TO begin the sacrifices
which accompany the saving OIL
money. Without money they cannot
marry. Not few greatly exaggerate
what IL should take two sensible peo-
pie to begin life on, and hastily con-
:lude that it would be impossible, on
an income of 81 900, to start in com.
fort. So they put of marriage until
after thirty, or do not marry at all
and 1t is well that such men should
remain single. We do not need any
such weak fiber in the coming gener
alton.

FASHION NOTES.

Embroidery is asserting its SUI
premacy in combination with lace.
Irish poplin in delightful shades is
bidding for place in popular fancy.
Large silver spoons have their bowls
ornamented with incised work in floral
designs.
The rather absurd fashion of trim
ming the evening dress with fur will
continue
New sleeves are large and fall in
dropping folds from the shoulders TO
Tie elbows.
Rolling and curved hats have given
way to sharp. decisive-looking pIeated-
brimmed ones
"Robin red" is new shade in tailor
cloth, and is charming When combined
with russell brown velvet and dull gold
passementerie.
Colarettes of baby ribbon, with long
sash ends falling from them down tho
back, are pretty and quite becoming to
tall, slender women.
Corselet belts of ribbon, ornamented
with small cabbage bows, are to be
had in all colors. They are especially
nice for young girls
Diamonds are set detached, and get
their full value. An attractive brooch
was seen which had one large diamond
in the centre and fine waving gold
rays about it.
by the addition of one of the many
styles Of lace and chiffon yokes, now
offered in fashionable shops, plain
gown can easily be transformed into a
dressy one and made to do service for
various occasions.
Elaborate are the ornaments that
come for hats. They include buckles
OF every sort, color and description,
almost, one might say, of every size.
Some are huge, others very small, and
between both are many.
Fancy NUTS of plealed velvet or
cloth, and occasionally of silk, are
seen in all the shops. They are orna-
mented with fur, ribbons or lace, and
have narrow ribbons attached to them,
from which TO hang round the neck.

WOMEN DENTISTS.

4 large proportion of the women
students in the Philadelphia Dental
College come from abroad. In 1891
out of twelve malriculations five were
foreigners. Indeed, the first woman
dentist in the world was Nine.
Ilirschfeldt, graduate from the
Pennsylvania College. who afterward
became dentist to the family of the
late Emperor William. Another grad
uate from the same school was Ger
trude Bright, niece of John Bright,
and very successful practitioner. As
a rule American women shrink from
the thought of dentistry as profess
sion. and few have the steadiness of
nerve required. Only in Chicago,
where the number of women in the
professions is remarkable, do women
dentists flourish in any number. There
it is found that more than half
dozen have made name and are busy
aud prosperous. 1t is said that tho
greater part of the practice of women
dentists is among children, who are
lcss afraid of woman dentist than a
man. New York Commercial Adj

Richard Risley of Port jefferson,
l.. l., is hard working bayman. He
has rather pretty daughter, who for
the past year, according to the New
York World, has been puzzling the
doctors In consequence Of a peculiar
aff1iction which has attacked her eyes.
Miss Risley is about II years old. A
year ago, while walking on the beach
near her home with her mother, she
suddenly exclaimed that something
had entered her eye. She pressed her
hands over her eyes and moment
later fell in ut. The young woman
was carried home in partially I'M
conscious condition. When finally
she was restored to consciousness Ii
was discovered that her eyes had a
strained look as though some inward
pressure was forcing them out of their
sockets She complained of no pain.
but her eyes continued 10 protrude
more and more until 1t would seem
that must fall out. The eyes are now
so much protruded that the-lids can.
not close down over them, so that tho
sufferer sleeps ut night with her eyes
wide open. Her sense of sight is
gone while she sleeps this having
been demonstrated by experiments.
The peculiar trouble which has at
tackled her eyes also appears to be
sapping the young woman's health.
She has become pale and emaciated,
and has the appearance of person sut-
fering from consumption. Her con-
dition has thus far de1ed the skill of
the doctors, who admit that they are
unable to explain the cause

WHAT SWALLOWED JoNAH7
Perhaps 1t was white shark Instead Of q
Whale.


whale.
There is no argument valid upon
premise OF inherent impossibility. 1t
used TO be concluded beyond question
that there were no black swans, be.
cause 1t is impossible to conceive
black swan. But one harmless and
unconscious black swan from the anti
podes put all the ingenious thinkers
to rout. Hume argued from his con-
ception Of true induction that the
major premise must !nclude all posi-
bic cases This he thought conclusive
against great deal Of popular belief.
But what test have we OF the posi-
ble9 1t is harder to believe that we
have explored and classified the whole
field OF knowledge, than that raven
Gus fish-with no higher and no lower
thought in its meager brain than a
plentiful dinner-should have swal-
lowed and then disgorged man. Be-
sides, we are not without evidence
that such plscine conduct is at least
possible Jonah was sailing in the
Mediterranean-right along its whole
length-from JOppa, In Palestine, to
Tarshish, In Spain; and 1t is in this
very sea that even at the present day
a huge fish, the white shark, is found.
And not only this, but the bones of a
much larger species now extinct. For
the word used in the Bible is gen.
eral term for large fish, and it in
cludes in various writer's sharks,
tunnies, whales, dolphins, and seals.
This white shark attains such a size
that it has been known 10 weigh four
tons and half. One that was ex-
hibited last century over Europe
weighed nearly two tons, and very
nearly re-enacted the part of Jonah's
ash. A British war vessel was sail
ing in the Mediterranean when a man
tell overheard. A huge shark in
stantly rose and the unlucky seaman
disappeared within its mouth. The
captain fired gun at ii from the
deck, aud as the shot struck upon its
back it cast the man out again and he
was rescued by his companions. They
forthwith harpooned the fish, dried
him, and presented him to his in
tended victim.
In the beginning Of this century a
shark was taken at Surinam, and In
1t was discovered the body of woman
excepting the head. Instances are
recorded upon good authority of
specimens being found in the same
sea; one with sea calf in its stom-
ach as big as an OK, another with a
whole horse, and another with two
tunnies and man. That a man
could live there for a considerable
time seems by no means impossible.

NEW STYLES OF HA1R DRESSING.

The new styles of hair dressing fol-
low the classic Empire fashions of
dress. The back hair is dressed in a
soft coil in the nape Of the neck SO as
TO display fully the contours of the
head. This coil is sometimes placed
considerably higher, the whole matter
depending upon the shape Of the head.
The front hair is waved and drawn
back so that it falls in closely curlcd
fringe low on the forehead or accord
ing to the manner most becoming 10
the head. This simple, classic style
of couture is suitable for the morning
and for general wear and is likely to
supersede short hair. Young ladies who
have had their hair cut may again let
it grow 10 womanly length. For even
ing wear the hair is dressed more
deliberately, but the classic couture re-
mains the model. --[New York Tri-
