We regret to say that in football inf iianiSm ind unsportsmanliIe play ar, greatly on the increase, and unles, checked by vigorous methods we ma, ind tha it will be necessary for msgis trates Instead of football association, and uni JnS, to deal with assaults arisina out of what should be an innocent and healthfIl pastime We have had ii pointed put to us that an action at law will lie gainst a person who is guilty of wilful vi plence on the football field; and If stringent rules and a free interpreta. tioi there9f be not sufficient to check the growing evil, it is only reasonable Co suppose that legal remedy may eventu. ally be reSorted to,
 lt may be thought that referees and umpires ought to be able to deal with all breaches of rule; but we are sorry 10 say that many of these officials either wit, the fear of gis'ing 6ffense and SO losing their honorwium, or with the natural dislike tU being mobbed and maltreated at the close of a match, do not fully OK. ercise the powers that are vested in them. When once the uuscrupulous player ais. covelStms tetieence ou the part of the referee for it is this official who nova. days has to decide nearly everything will pursue his malpractices to the fullest extent.

fl,o Dimculty witI, chi,a.,

The difficulty of foreigner learning the Chinese language may be inferred from the statement of an English tray eler. He and his companion, previous to starting for China, had supplied them selves with a Chinese grammar. In day or two the discovery was made that the single letter i had l45 ways Of being pronounced, and that each pronuncia- ton had an entirely different meaning. Then 1t dawned upon them that there was no poetry about the Chinese lan- guage, that it was not worth learning and their grammar was secretly con signed to the river mud by being drop. ped overheard, Yaukce Blade.

French Army Rlcroll.l..


 Thb French war office has just issued regulations for the employment of bicy. ciists in the army, The present organi. zation provides for the enrolling of be- tween 5000 and 1000 "wheelmen0 in case of war. They are, curiously enough, provided with double armament; for, according to the regulations, they are to carry a cavalry earbine and thirty-six cartridges on the machine and a revolver and eighteen cartridges in their belts
 Their chief use is to be that of mes. sengers, and old-fashioned grumblers say that the first result of a general hay- ing . crowd of cyclists hanging about his headquarters will be that he will send far too many directions to his sub. ordinates. Vanity Fair

To prevent birds from flying, without tho barbarous and injurious system sometimes practiced of cutting their wings it will be found sufficient to tie together with thread three or four of the largest feathers of one wing. Thts destroys the balance, the wings do not act symmetrically in the air, and flight IS rendered impossible, Fowls, pigeons, etc, may be kept within bounds in this simple fashion.-London Tit-Bits.

 The latest illustration of th, chanpee
 constantly occurring in the cor ditions ol modern warfare is an order r,t issued from tine British war office su bstitutine swords ota new pattern for th weapons which have been carried by officers since the days of the Iron Duke. Yiith view to efficiency at close quarte1s, the blade of the old sword was sharpned through. out the whole length of i.s edge and on the back for some seven or oight inches from the point, the idea being to make 1t available for cutting W. well us thrus.. ing, In order to incrase it's strengta il was also slightly cured and was d for. midable weapon, though somewhat light m comparison with the mors massive service swords of Continental infantry officers.
 In the new sword the blade is perfectly straight. it's shaft being set in roomv hit, squared to give play to the wrist in guarding and thrusting, the mode of fighting recommended to unmounted of hcers of the present. day on actual sery. ice, who are taught to regard cuttinr as an obsolete method of attack. Only about ten inches of the edge from the point, and six inches of the back. are sharpened, the rest of the blade being blunt and rounded for parrying purposes. and having, therefore, no cutting capac. ity whatsoever
 The new regulation sword, in fact, is exclusively thrnsting and guarding weapon--a tort of napier, double edged | for about a Iourth of its blade length in order to facilitate penetration when f its wearer 'Rives point, but useless as an arm wherewith to strike swinging blow, --Exchange

Itz ssqaeis Are Of q Peculiarly Lew .ad
Depressing Type

Depressing Type
The grippe or inhuepza itself is not
particularly dangerous, according 20 .
writer in the London Lancet. bat its
complications are serious, and its Sc
qlleis are Of a peculiarly low and de-
pressing type. The attack is commonly
very sudden The first symptoms are n
chill. NAUSEA. and a feeling Of general
illness, followed quickly BY severe and
persistent headache, break bone pains
ia the limbs and trunk. fever. and great
prostration-
A violent paroxysrnal. irrepressible
and harsh cough with soreness in the
chest, is common Coryza at
the nose-may or may not attend IT,
When the disease is accomplished, the
worst is over by the third day. and the
fever by the fourth or fifth, though the
debility may continue for weeks or
months.
The most serious complication of the
disease is acute bronchitis. This may
appear early or late. The breathing
becomes rapid and difficult. A spas
modic cough is almost constant. The
expectorations are glairy and tenacious.
With all this there Is the peculiar pros
tration of the grippe.
A more common complication is preu-
monia. of which there are three varie-
ties-croupous. congestive and broneho-
pneumonia. Although these co!nplica-
tions are dangerous. yet recovery is the
rule under prompt and careful treat
ment.
A third complication Of the grippe is
connected with the heart. II patients
SIT up. they become faint. Some die of
simple failure of the heart; others are
saved from death only by careful aeten-
ton on the part OF the nurse. After
the grippe has passed OF, tendency To
faintness and neuralgia pains may re-
main for weeks or months.
Another complication shows itself in
diarrhcea; still another affects the
nervous system, and is characterized by
pains in the head or elsewhere, or by
weakness IN certain parts of the body,
such as the hands or arms.
As To treatment. the doctor must de-
eide in view of all the symptoms. But
the patient should in every case take n
his bed. To keep about is exceedingly
dangerous, especially as exposing the
patient to the above complications
