The visit of the Princeton boys this
week was society event of the first
magnitude. They were the social lions

were the predominating colOrS every
where. Monday afternoon Mrs. Ansel
Oppenheim gave them lovely tea,
then society was out Ell mass to greet
them at the Peoples church in the

The last week has been very busy
one. From the Princeton welcomes to
the pretty sermon of Friday night our
young people and older people, who still
have young hearts, have been in a
whirl. Receptions, teas, luncheons and
dances have followed each other in
beautiful succession, and this week that
rushes in the new wear promises to be
no less full of pleasant things. Many
are already announced, while others
are under preparation. and not yet far
enough advanced to be formally intro
duced to public notice. Good wishes
for tie New Year are in order, and this
is the time fornew resolutions by which
to be governed during the next twelve
months. Whatever we do in this way
let us do it thoroughly. st. Paul women
are gracious and kindly in their social
relations. and it follows, as a matter of
course, that The men are also. The So
ciety editor wishes you all happy
New Year in this way:
The magic note of elfn horn
Welcomes the sun on New Years morn,
And TO the young year, newly born,
Rings out a roundelay.
The old years dead. and with it died
Old grudges kept alive by pride.
Lay anger, envy, grief aside,
Be glad on New Years day.
The magic horn winds at your door,
Sounding this year, as years before,
For truth ana justice, DER and DER,

The Grent NEnll Of chlnn.

The scenery from the great wall is very
fine. The wall is here a dividing line be-
tween the high, rugged hills Of China,
which tower above us on the one hand, and
the great sandy plains of Mongolia on the
other, with dim mountain submits beyond
in the distance. Over these barren, rocky
spurs and activities, ascending to their
very SUBMITS, winding about in irregular
curves and zigzags, its serried battlements
clear cut against the sky on the topmost
ridges, descending into dark gullies to ap-
pear again rising on the other side, the end
less line of massive stone and brick runs on
and on until lost to sight behind the
farthest range.
And so it goes for miles and miles, east
ward to the Pechili gulf and westward,
mostly in two great, rambling lines, along
the border of the Cobb desert and Kan-Soo,
until it ends among the foothills of the Nam
Shan range. However we may regard it,
whether as a grand conception for the de-
fence of an empire, as an engineering feat
or merely as a result of the persistent ap-
plication of human labor, it isa stupendous
work. No achievement of the present time
compares with it in magnitude.-Century.

AHlstorlcnl Horse Rnoe.

Squire Osbaldestone's undertaking to
ride 200 miles in ten hours, which he ac-
complished SO successfully on the 5th Of
November, 1881, is one Of the most remark
able feats of endurance in the saddle and
has the merit of freedom from cruelty. The
squire rode his race on the Newmarket
race course, changing his horse every fourth
mile Four miles is a safe limit for such a
purpose, as that splendid horseman knew.
Three mile laps could have been covered in
time relatively a little better, but a sound
horse in fair training could do his four
miles without distress in such time as to
make that distance, with the consequent
reduction in the number of changes, the
most suitable for the purpose.
Mr.. Osbaldestone used sixteen horses for
his task, and rode standing in his stirrups
like jockey, while he kept his mount at
best speed from start TO finish of its four
mile heat, having quite 'set-to" with his
pacemaker at the end of each. The squire
was hard man, and in good training, 50
suffered no bad effects from his exertions.-

Hlndoos nother Arehnolorlsts.

Mr.. Cousens, superintendent of the Ar
chmological survey Of west India, deplores
the difficulty Of obtaining additional OBJ
jects for the Bijapur museum. The coun-
try around about teens with interesting
relics of the past. but the native races OBJ
iect TO their removal on supcrstitious
grounds, and are much excited on the sub
ject.
On one occasion, Mr.. Cousens states in
his report, he discovered a neat little slab
representing two elephants fighting. 1t
was half buried in the mud bank Of the
tank. Men were sent to dig it out, and,
this done, they discovered another slab, a
most interesting sculpture, representing
the Hoysala king staying the tiger, as de-
scribed in Fleets "Dynasties of the Kama
rese Districts" The villagers, however,
represented that the removal Of the slabs
meant disaster TO themselves. Once before
when a chief removed slabs village was
burned, and European who took away
something died suddenly.
The elephants were left, but the king and
the tiger were removed, and that very night
hut next to Mr.. Cousens' was destroyed
by fire. Fortunately, he adds, it was the
hut Of low caste family, and Mr.. Cousens
was therefore left untroubled.-London

working ON Mountain Tops.

Some practical facts are furnished by
the experience of the worlunen engaged
in the construction of the new Central
railway over the main range of noun
tains in Poru. Tho line starts from
Lima, in latitude 10 degs. The summit
tunnel of this line at Galeria is at the
height of 15,645 feet, OF a little under
the height of Mont Blanc, but it must
be remembered that the climatic condi-
tions are very different and more un-
favorable in Peru than in Europe.
Mr.. e. Lane, the engineer in chief,
finds that the workmen up to an altitude
of 5000 to 10000 feet do about the same
relative quantity of work as at sea level,
provided they have been Injured to the
height or brought up in the country. At
1900 feet the amount of work deterio-
rates. and at $4,000 to 10000 full third
has to be deducted from the amount that
the same man could perform at sea level.
Mules and horses are found to do about
the same efficient work proportionately
as human beings up to about 1900 feet
in the district.-Nineteenth Century.

Remnrl,s About SNOW.

The snow was particularly light and
fluffy, and it settled on the sidewalks
like fine goose feathers. The janitor Of
a certain fiat is a son of Ham, built like
a Hercules. The janitor of the next fat
is a son of Erin. The two recognize no
color line, and are great friends. Before
the sun they rose to clear the sidewalks
of the snow ere it should be trampled
down by pedestrians. Both were equipped
with snow shovels.
"By golly, Pat, shouted the herculean
son of Ham, after he had been working
for few minutes, dis var snow am so
feadery dat shovelin it amt no good no
how. Minds me Of pushing fog"
"Well, begorra." replied Pat, without
looking up from his work, "get a fan

Getting Around a Corner.

Mr.. Jennings for a job. Mr.. Jennings had

An Anecdotn nf MhittIer.

To Whittier in his earlier years laggard
recognition brought his full share Of the
discipline which is peculiar to genius, and
which no lesser spirit can suppose itself 70
understand. But he conquered it, the
world knows how thoroughly. He was
never in the least unperceptive Of the facts
of his literary history. Once he was found
in the library of one of his Boston friends,
silent and sad, in a mood not usual to him.
Seeking to cheer him his hostess ventured
some quiet words reminding him of the
deep personal affection in which he was
held the wide world over. His morning
mail lay beside him. She pointed to the
pile Of grateful and adoring letters.
"Ah, yes" he said; but they say Tenny-
son has written perfect poem. Elizabeth

The oid knociser of pays Gone BY.

Except on a very few doors in the older
quarters of the city, the ancient knooker
has passed away as too noisy to keep pace
with the advanced refinement Of the age,
and the jangling bell has taken its place
On the bell Jacks hand is as heavy as his
masters, for there is no distinction between
rings. The servant, fancying that the
butchers boy has come with the meat, may
open the door leisurely to find that the
president Of the United States has called
upon her master. The bell may be deli
cate electrical contrivance, with button
TO be pressed OF an engraved knob at the
end OF a wire to be pulled or any other de-
vice, but all anybody, be he nigh OF low,
can do with it is to ring it.
This, viewed from democratic point Of
view, is perhaps as it should be, and yet
there are old ladies and gentlemen in New
York who sigh for the knocker of old, when
they could say with the utmost confidence
That's fathers Knock" or Mothers at
the door," and every one living in the house
was recognized by a knock that was dis
tinctively his or her own. These were all
double" knocks. some of them modest and
some, especially those of the younger mem
bers Of the household, perhaps a little pre-
tentious. When strange double" knock
was heard at the door, it was evident that
visitor was there and the family might
make hasty preparations for the reception
of company.
When "single knock sounded, only a
tradesman, or a peddler, or, possibly, even
beggar, was there, 50, of course, tbs serv-
ants need not hurry. But when a rapid,
peremptory RAP rapw sounded, everybody
was anxious to run to the door, for that
was the letter carrier, or the postman, as he
was then called.-New York Sun.
