Modern Football.

We regret to say that in football ruff
fianism and unsportslnanlike play are
greatly on the increase, and unless
checked by vigorous methods we may
find that it will be necessary for magis-
trates instead of football associations
and unions, to deal with assaults arising
out of what should be an innocent and
healthful pastime. We have had it
pointed out to US that an action at law
will lie against a person who is guilty of
wilful violence ON the football field; and
if stringent rules and free interpreta-
tion thereof be not sufficient to check
the growing evil, it is only reasonable to
suppose that legal remedy may eventu-
ally be reSorted to.
It may be thought that referees and
umpires ought to be able to deal with all
breaches of rule; but we are sorry to say
that many Of these officials, either with
the fear of giving offense and so losing
their honorarium, or with the natural
dislike to being mobbed and maltreated
at the close of match, do not fully ex-
ercise the powers that are vested in them.
When once the unscrupulous player dis
covers this reticence on the part of the
referee-for it is this official who nova
days has to decide nearly everything-he
will pursue his malpractices to the fullest
extent.-London Field.

with Langtry for its heroine. ssThe
Lily" it seems, came late, with the
pomp and ceremony and fine clothes
that the occasion demanded. She wore
dark blue merveilleux gown, big
black hat and her hair in the old Lang
try coil. She was literally mobbed, we
are told, by the aristocratic and bad
hammered crowd. Women walked
around and around her, with their lor-
gnettes leveled dead at her, and one loud
ly dressed and titled dame said very
audibly as she stood just behind Mrs.
Langtry, "Now we've seen her back, let
us come this way and get front view" "
This was more than even the ''Lily's"
seasoned nerves could stand and she
moved away, followed by perfect rab-
BILE of men and women, all of whose re-
marks must have reached her ears.

Experiments with Food.

The normal domestic science class at
Pratt institute, which is composed of an
earnest number of young women, who
are doing university work in the many
sciences of their specially, have recently
been experimenting in various food ma
terials to find which are the most easily
digestible. They have made ferment
which, raised to the temperature of the
human stomach, Stimulates the digestive
fluid. Into this they have injected sep
arately .eggs-cooked and uncooked,
chopped fine and coarse-to represent
the fair and unfair mastication of hur-
ried American eaters.
The results of their experiments are
not yet announced, because not yet suf-
ficiently advanced; but it is an open Sc
cret that raw eggs have been found
more difficult of digestion than the
cooked Their experiments with that
disputed article of food-cheese-are
awaited by the regular cooking class
with interest. Brooklyn Eagle

A Bau Dress Covering.

The latest invention credited to an
American woman is ball dress cover
ing, intended for those who must walk
to the scene of festivity. This ingenious
woman had her cloak made in very
light silk finished waterproof, like a
deep bag gathered into two bands. This
she put on under the long petticoat and
buttoned round the waist. When the
first band was secured the entire length
was gathered up over the gown and
fastened again at the outside. This time
1t covered everything else, inclosed the
soft, crushable gown and secured it
from all harm. The top of the cloak
was formed of pretty cape, like any
other macintosh, with deep collar to
correspond. The whole affair is on the
principle of the "crawlers" made for
little children. New York World.

summer WORK ror wen SNAPPED hands.
For summer work a bit of embroidery
is always the thing, and is finished be-
fore you know it by an odd stitch here,
another there, in the quiet intervals be-
tween bathing and riding, fishing and
dancing. Center pieces are the principal
bits in table decoration, and though the
square or oblong ones with their outline
designs or the more heavy filed in pat
terms are used, the round style just now
is the newer, and in consequence more
popular.
The manner of embroidering these
circular pieces is to have wreath of
flowers stamped on the edge, then
worked in white or colored silks and cut
out to show the exact shape of the bios
som. White is more popular than colors,
though one may use either and know
that they are entirely au fait.-Phila-
delphia Times.

women Pluckier Than Mem.

Throughout the great west are scat
tered numbers of women who have
grown wealthy as miners, ranchers and
bomesteaders. They owe success to the
fact that they 'got ahead of the men"
by reason of superior pluck and shrewd-
ness. One of the most conspicuous
cases is that of two Los Angeles girls
who recently visited Santa Fe and fled
upon homesteads they had just located.
The land lies on the eastern slope of
the Zuni mountains, and in order to
reach the place the women had to trava
eighteen miles from the railroad station,
walking much of the time because of
the bad roads, and often wading through
two feet of snow.
A number of men were waiting at the
railroad settlement for the snow to
thaw, so that they could locate claims,
but the women said they had no time to
wait and they waded through the snow.

swords used in the EngIlsh Armr.

SWORDS Dseu IN the Eneiish Army.
The latest illustration of the changes
constantly occurring in the conditions of
modern warfare is an order just issued
from the British war Office substituting
swords of new pattern for the weapons
which have been carried by officers since
the days of the Iron Duke. With a view
to efficiency at close quarters, the blade
of the old sword was sharpened through
out the whole length of its edge and on
the back for some seven or eight inches
from the point, the idea being to make il
available for cutting as we'll as thrust
ing. In order to increase its strength it
was also slightly curved and was a for
midable weapon, though somewhat light
in comparison with the more massive
service swords of Continental infantry
officers.
In the new sword the blade is perfectly
straight, its shaft being set in roomy
hilt, squared to give play to the wrist in
guarding and thrusting, the mode of
fighting recommended to unmounted Of
ficers of the present day on actual serv-
ice, who are taught to regard cutting 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 thrusting and guarding
weapon-a sort of rapier, double edged
for about fourth of its blade length in
order to facilitate penetration when
its wearer 'gives point" but useless as
an arm wherewith to strike swinging

1t is matter of science to successfully
wear veil in tints of pink, scarlet, blue

veil at the illusion counter, and because
they think it is pretty buy it. In nine

own beauty rather than adds to it, and
they would be better off without it.

ELEVEN Brave women.

Eleven young women started to Eu-
rope Saturday on the steamship Island,
Of the Thingvalla line, on mission of
mercy. They will carry joy to many
desolate homes in the famine stricken
portions of Russia. All the young wom-
en are from the west, and have long
and tedious trip before them, but they
are plucky and full of enthusiasm in the
work they have undertaken.
The party come from Chicago and
st. Louis, and they are active members
Of the Kings Daughters. The money
was contributed by charitable people in
the two big western cities, the young
women collecting by personal solicita-
ton. The delegation is headed by Miss
Amelia Endstrom, and Miss Georgia
Lamb is secretary.
Three months ago Miss Endstrom ind
Miss Lamb came to New York, bearing
letters of introduction to Treasurer of
immigration Courtland e. Manning.
They wished to see the class of immi-
grants coming from Russia and get per-
sonal interviews from the poor people
arriving from the czar's dominions. Mr..
Manning escorted them through the diff
ferent departments ON Ellis island, and
Morris Reinberg, agent of the Hebrew
Charity organization, and others acted
as Interpreters. The two young women
spent some time on the island and took
copious notes of what they heard They
then returned to the west and started to
organize band to go to Russia. The
committee of eleven went about collect
ing money and succeeded in getting to-
gether something over $4,000.
Saturday morning a tug was placed at
the disposal of the women to convey
their baggage to the pier in Hoboken.
From Christiania they will proceed to
Hamburg, and thence to Moscow. The
money they have will be converted into
provisions, which will be distributed by
the committee personally.
Miss Endstrom has letters of intro
duction to the American consuls in the
various cities her party will visit while
abroad. After completing their own
work they will offer their service to the
general committee having in charge the
distribution of supplies already sent to
Russia from America.-New York Re

again upset the equilibrium of the sex in
control. In behalf of the Women's Ma
tional Council then in session in Chica-
go, DR.. Ridgeway presented resolution
asking the Methodist Episcopal General
conference to come out squarely in favor
Of the admission of women into the legis-
lative council of the church and declare
that there was no such thing as sex in
the church of the living God. Such
frankness stirred the brethren to the
inmost recesses of their brains. Be-
cause the paper was addressed to Bishop
Fitzgerald, some of the delegates wanted
him to have the right of the floor to
speak upon the resolution.
Strong as the feeling was against an
upheaval of tradition to which most
people cling as though salvation depend
ed upon its preservation, no man had
the courage of his prejudices, and this
6rebrand of resolution was referred
without discussion to the committee on
lay delegation. No sooner had this in
rident occurred than DIR. Kynett stated
that the names of two women had been
proposed as lay delegates consequently
the subject might be freely expounded.
But no expounding followed. Walking
Dn eggs is not only difficult, but unpleas-
ant. That august body saw danger
ahead, SO DR.. Kynett's resolution fol-
lowed DR.. Ridgeway's into the pockets
Of the committee on lay delegation.
Women think this is a victory and |
hope it is. They are today the pillars of
every church in Christendom. Without
them there would be no congregations:
without their active cooperation there
would be no charities: without them
most clergymen might beg for living.
To ignore, therefore, the sex to which
the clergy owe their existence is as un-
grateful as it is unwise Women were
last at the cross; they should be first in
the churches. If Christianity does not
make its professors Christian it indeed
loses all semblance of divinity.-Kate

Z. The Latest Dress Pattern.

Fashion has come to the relief of the
woman who likes her work done the
easiest way. The latest pattern for a
walking skirt is in circular form, with a
space for the waistband cut out of the
center. Presently we may be able to
gown ourselves like clothespin dolls,
cutting an opening in the center of big
breadth of cloth and tying a acord around
the waist. Simple but effective, don't

The variety in odd spoons of all kinds

has been reproduced with historic fidel-

housekeeper was accustomed to taste all
dishes before they were presented to
guests, as guarantee necessary in those
rude and savage times against the use of
poison. This spoon is about as large as
a tablespoon. 1t was formerly arranged
so that it could be hung on chain from
the girdle, as its name indicates.-Lo

An Old Fashion Revived.

A fancy has arisen for parting in the
hair. Few women can stand one just
in the center of the head, for that re-
quires good forehead, perfectly out
lined pair of eyebrows and a straight
nose. However, the hair can be parted
on the top of the head little to one side,
or indeed, if it is becoming, very much to
one side, and the parting not allowed to
come through the short fringe which is
just over the forehead and which pro-
duces softening effect. t.-Miss Mallon
