lain, however. they have always been
tolerable. His constant and premeditated
invective against the man, Gladstone
and the Irish, rather than against the
measure, the Home Rule bill, has become
too grievous to be borne. The young
English Tories, fed with the incompar-
able. unexampled venom Of Chamberlain
since 1856, have learned to apply the
most unjust and insulting epithets in
the language to the Home Rule advo-
Gates. From that training, from those
epithets, the TRANSITION to the argument
of fsts is but step acr IS the aisle

mentally and morally. The hot-blooded,
silly young Tories found that step and
that oegree inevitable. They had no
other al gum ent against he justice an 1
the wisdom of granting some sort Of
Home Rule to ireland. Chamberlain,
hi nself, has no other argument, than
invective against the men, who propose
the measure. He has exha listed his
skill to oppose the measure itself.

The BEAUTIFUL PARKS.

Hundreds OF people spent yesterday in
the parks Of this city. All the walks,
drives and cool places were crowded with
people. 1t was a bright, pleasant day,
and those who spent the hours under
the leafy bowers were made comfortable
by a strong breeze.
The walk along the race at Brandywine
Park was favorite place for strollers
during the afternoon and evening.
Union Park, with its music, attracted
large crowds. Beautiful Shellpot Park
was also visited by many people.
Wilmingtons growth and prosperity
even in times of widespread adversely, is
clearly shown by the development of
these airy resorts. Their reputation
now is widespread Excursions from all
parts Of the state visit them. The spa
cious and swift electric cars are crowded
with patrons This morning, Philadel
phia newspapers are advertising these
parks and the "historic Brandywine" as
delightful places to spend warm day.

Outside Of emergencies there Is much to
be said in favor of Drawn, and fortunately
Il is no longer necessary to argue that
brains are better when there is Drawn be-
hind them, while on the other hand the
time has already come when those who Sc
lect athletes have little use for Drawn with
out brains. So they supplement each other
more and more. The college man carica-

big brute, Is today neither The type isap-

Of body and mind. Twenty years ago a
father exhorted his son TO study hard aud

dent should not fail 10 take plenty Of exer-

The strongest argument in favorof school
and college sports is the one advanced by
nature herself. She develops the body be-
fore the mind. A man reaches the prime
of physical power years before the maxi
mum Of his mental strength Is attained.
The best systems, backed by the best ex-
ponent Of the times, have failed to make
physical development popular among men
whose college days and days Of youth were

years before, exercise will prevent retro

development, the time TO expand the chest
and increase the biceps, TO take the larger
proportion of bodily exercise. Then in ma
turity the proportion should change to a
mental exercise with the other for relaxa-

the footsteps Of the favorites of fortune.

Of at least II months engagement, yet

when the broutops with the warty snout
Moseyed around for herbs and things,

The rhamphoryuchus prospered when
The scaphognathus perched in trees,
And every creature, wild OF tame,

answer the question Of correspondent:

We learn from the twelfth chapter of the
book of Numbers that certain persons
"spake against Moses because Of the Ethio-
plan woman whom he had married, for he
married an Ethiopian woman" but it must
be remembered that all the people Of the
extensive region anciently known as Eth

MORE public interest is taken in the
approaching extra session Of Congress
than has been shown for a decade or
more. The consensus Of public opinion
seems to be toward immediate repeal OF
the Sherman law, or at least that portion
Of It which requires the purchase Of a
vast quantity Of silver bullion every
month, and It is to be hoped that the OBJ
structionists will not introduce such
tactics as will delay the contamination Of

The close OF the month Of July finds
the purchases Of silver bullion by the
Secretary Of the Treasury about 1000,
600 ounces below the amount usually
bought beretofol g. which has generally
but mistakenly been supposed to be the
amount required by law. The words Of
the law are that the Secretary OF the
Treasury Is hereby directed TO purchase
from time to time silver bullion 20 the
aggregate amount Of 4. 500 900 ounces, or
30 much thereof as may be offered
In each month, az the market price
thereof. not exceeding one dollar
for S71i grains Of pure silver" During
the month OF July, though some Of the
owners OF silver mines have been pro-
testing that they were on the direct road
to utter ruin, only $500, 000 ounces OF
silver have been offered to the Secretary
at the market price. At the same time
we have the opinion Of the London
Economist that the market has been
manipulated by American owners for the
purpose of getting a better price from
the government. The silver owners are
not taking the best means TO win the
sympathy OF even the respect OF the
public. and the course Of Secretary
Carlisle will be generally regarded as

was delegated to make the purchase
and he accordingly entered a Market

they did and reaching King street they
proceeded to eat the oysters, while the
