Princeton's Football Team.

The Princeton football men were on the
field for nearly two hours yesterday. but
the playing was very intermittent. Five
of the old players were present to coach
the team, Irvine, '8S, who played right
guard on the Varsity for five years; Sam
Hodge, 'SS; Cash, '91; Jones, '91, and
Riggs, '92. They interrupted the game
consequently very slow and prolonged,
but it was evidently doing the men a
great deal of good. King. Davis, Fiscus
and Bartels did not play. but otherwise
the men were in their regular positions.
The game with the Pennsylvania State
College, scheduled for Wednesday, has
been cancelled, as the two games the
team will play OF Friday aud Saturday
are considered sufficient for one week.

HARVEST OF "cRowLERs."
The Collector of Tin Cans Has = Larger
Income Than Most Persons Think.

The lot of the tin-can collector,
whose livelihood depends practically
upon the rim of solder which holds the
different pieces of the receptacle to-
gether, is by no means a sinecure, says
a New York paper. At all seasons it is
unpleasant enough, but to gangling
about during the burning days of sum-
mer upon cart loaded with tin, every
square inch of which is drawing its
share of the sun rays, requires more
energy than some might imagine. The
tin-cans are broken. rough and rusty,
besides being hot to the touch and
often foul-smelling. The collectors
have to prowl abont at unreasonable
times and in all sorts of strange places.
They "stand in" with servants of large
hotels and households, the men who
have charge of garbage dumps, janitors
of asylums. hospitals, and all sorts OF
queer people, and their compensation
is simply the permission to cart away
the old cans, which nine-tenths of
humanity are glad to be rid of.
The can collectors start on their
rounds as early as o'clock every
morning, and keep going from place
to place until their wagons are full. If
they are fortunate they usually get a
load by noon or thereabouts, and
the rest of the day is devoted to burn
ing. The cans are heaped high in a
lot, and the patient horse and much
abused cart started out once more to
some saw mill or carpenter shop for
shavings. 1t does not require great
amount of heat to set the solder run"
ming, and when there is nothing left
of the fire but the embers the tin is
swept away, the embers raked away
and the solder collected. 1t is heated
once more in a kettle and run into
bars. 1t is now ready for sale to some
local plumber, and the days work is
done

A Famous Lake.

Early in this century Antoine Dufour,
a prisoner in an Indian camp on the
margin of lake in what is now
Southern Washington, fell into the
water while trying to escape from his
captors. Dufour was a sufferer from
rheumatism, else the accident would
not have happened to him. The bath
instead of stiffening his joints seemed
to have a healing effect, and the
Frenchman tried the experiment of
immersing himself daily in the waters
with wonderful results. He soon had
the free and painless use of his limbs.
subsequently, when he made his
escape, Dufour spread the report of the
curative properties of the lake. But
in the thinly settled wilderness of that
time no one was very much interested
in healing waters. For three score
years little was heard of Medical Lake,
as it is now called. In 1872 Andrew
LIE Favre took up quarter-section OF
land where the village of Medical
Lake now stands. LIE Favre knew
nothing of the virtues of the water
until his sheep, which we're troubled
with skin disease, were cured by
slaking their thirst at the brink. LIE
Favre tried the water for his rheuma-
tism. and it left him.
To-day the fame of the lake has
spread far and wide. 1t is situated on
the Columbia River plateau about six
teen miles southwest of Spokane. and
is 2.300 feet above the level of the sea.
The stratum of the country round
about is basaltic. The lake is sixty
feet deep. half mile wide, and mile
long. The water is of a greenish
tinge, and no plants grow near the
water. Animal life is also absent anC

A WoMAN's LIFE.
Its Seven Stages, from the Cradle to the
Grave, Deity Told.

A wee mother is carefully putting
her favorite doll to bed, gossips the
New Orleans Picdyu11e. With tender
dainty garment and fastens on the
tiny nightgown. Then with a fond
kiss she hugs her treasure to her and
it gently she tiptoes out of the room as
the twilight peeps curiously in.
A fair maiden stands before her
looking glass adding the last touches
to her evening toilet. Her lover will
nocent lovelight! She looks eagerly
glad she is that she is pretty! She
frowns little at a crimp that will not
stay just as it should. A ring comes
at the door and she hastens away to
meet her beloved.
A young wife sits anxiously watch
ing for her husband. At each ap-
preaching footstep her heart beats
rapturously and then grows heavy
with disappointment! She will not go
| indoors, it is so sweet out there! The
creeping shadows cheer her trembling
soul-so she waits and wishes. and the
shadows lengthen into darkened night.
A mother is rocking her baby to
sleep. He looks at her gravely while
| they move to and fro, as if asking why
the bright sunshine must leave and the
ugly shadows hide her dear face from
him. There is wealth of wisdom in
his great sweet eyes! He holds tightly
to her dress, as if to keep her near
him!
When at last his eyes are closed she
disengages the loving hand. kisses him
! lightly-he must not be awakened
and arises to put him into his crib
Thus she sinks back into her chair and
begins to rock again. 1t is so pleas
ant to rest in the twilight, and he is so
sweet to nurse!
A woman kneels by fresh made
| grave. The headboard stares coldly
at her and seems to say over and over
again the words inscribed upon it:
''He was her only child and she was a
widow" With tear laden eyes she
bends lower and lower, till her lips
rest upon the earth. She longs so to
kiss the quiet form it is hiding from
her! And the twilight seems to hurry
past and lose itself in the darkness.
A careworn old woman sits watch
ing the shadows come-they are friends
to her-friends that she welcomes-for
they always sing the same song to her,
"One Day Nearer Home" And she
smiles to them her thanks. She, too,
repeats. zone day nearer home" And
so life-woman's life-goes on in the
twilight till rest comes to her weary
body and joy to her aching heart-till
her spirit reaches it's home, where
never shadow can fall upon it.
