THE FLYING WEDGE.

Strategy of Napoleon Applied to.
the American Game OF Foot
Ball.
One of the most talked about men
at the present time among foot ball
lovers is Lorin F. Deland, inventor
of the now famous "Deland flying
wedge" and other new foot ball ma
neuvers used by the Harvard varsity
and freshmen elevens this year. The
flying wedge was used by the Har-
ward varsity team against Yale and
won twenty yards for the wearers Of
the crimson. Four of the eleven &.
heaviest men started fifteen yards
back OF the line at one side OF the field
and ran at full speed toward the line
and Yale's territory. At the same
time five lighter men, in single file,
like the others, started in similar
manner from the other corner Of the
field. Between the two lines ran e.
runner, who seemed to Yale to be the
man. who was to get the ball. The
two lines OF men, running at high
speed, finally came together forming
q wedge protecting the real runner,
who had the ball, and this wedge
crashed its way q score of yards into
Yales territory.
# The flying wedge did not win the
game for Harvard, but it is said to be
very confusing to an opposing team,
and Hazard will continue to, use it.
In the freshmen game, which was
fought out to q draw, Harvard used
EDeland g "crisscross, which is fore
most at the start, much like the wedge
but the two lines Of men continue
on in their course and no wedge is
made. The light runners merely do
their sprinting to confuse the enemy,
while the real runner, with the ball, IS
with the heavy line. '5s8
AT the freshmen game Brewer, of
Harvard, turned Yale's end with this
new play and gained forty yards be-
fore he was downed. Deland IS an ex
pert mathematician and the husband
of the famous novelist, Margaret Del

THIRTY years ago attendance at
prayer meeting at Yale was compul-
sorry, with two services on Sunday in
addition to morning and evening
prayer. Evening daily prayer was
first abolished, and then the attend
ance at more than one Sunday service
was made optional, and now there is
. strong movement on foot to make
attendance at daily morning prayer
also optional.

The Land of Prophecy.

Rev. j. Addison Smith, pastor of the
Aisquith street Presbyterian Church,
Baltimore, addressed his audience on 0cto-
Der 23 on home missions. The pastor
argued against the generally accepted story
of the discovery of America.
His subject was america, the Child of
Providence" Touching on the early his
tory of America, the speaker stated that
the American nation was referred to in the
brilliant prophecy in Isaiad xviii. at Is
claimed by one class of thinkers" said Mr..
Smith, ''that the land overshadowed with
wings referred to by the prophet is the
land over which the American eagle swings
his ponderous wings. The Phenicians
discovered America before Christ was born.
sThe proof of this is that the alphabet
the Phenicians used is found in certain
stones in this country. Next the Morse
men discovered this country in. the 10th and
18th centuries. Then in ITO the Welsh
settled certain Indian sections of the New
World. Certain Indian tribes have been
found with copy of the Welsh Bible in
manuscript. The Indian tribes found in
Missouri spoke the Welsh language, also a
tribe on the Red River, one on the Miss
issippi River and one on the Atlantic coast.
aIn view Of all these facts, said Mr..
Smith, athere is but one conclusion, and
that is that America was discovered 400 or
500 years before Columbus was born

times included some famously good old eat
ing; and the portraits of many of the good
old-timers look as ifthey did not disdain it.
On one occasion a Maryland lady saw fit
to whip one of the ministers of the place
with stout switch; in these good old times
she was severely fined for this in the sum
of one penny lawful currency, whereby she
was doubtless restrained from like conduct
in the future; or at least it is be so hoped,
both for her sake and for the reputation of
the Patapsco neighborhood.
Well, the sgood old times were after
all not such bad old times, they were really
good; good was done, and good was wished
and thought and prayed for; good they
were, for the times themselves, but better
old times soon set in, and better new times
have followed and still better are doubt
less in store and the best yet to come; and
come these last will, if only we all do duty
and do our best and keep stiff upper lip

Living Beyond ones Means.

Upon the subject of living beyond one $
means, Samuel Smiles, the author Of the
English work entitled GLOW to Get On in
the World, says:
There is another class of people, living
up to their means, and often beyond them.
They desire to be considered respectable
people. They live according to the per-
nieious adage, One must do as Others do.
They do not consider whether they can
afford to live up to or beyond their means,
but they think it necessary to secure the
respect of others. In doing so, they usu-
ally sacrifice their own self-respect They
regard their dress, their establishments,
their manner of living, and their OBJ
servance of fashion, as the sole tests of
responsibility and rank. They make an
appearance in the eyes of the world, though
it may be entirely hypocritical and false.
But they must not seem poor They
must hide their poverty by every effort.
They spend their money before it is earn
ed--runi into debt at the grocer's the bakers,
the milliner's and the butchers. They
must entertain their fashionable friends,
at the expense of the shop-keepers And
yet, when misfortunes overtake them, and
when the debts have come overwhelming
what becomes of the friends? They fly
away, and shun the man who is up to his
ears in debt
Poverty is more than half-disarmed by
those who have the moral courage to say,
Il can { afford to- Fair-weather friends are
ofno use whatever, except as an indication Of
the depth of snobbery to which human
beings can descend. What is "a visiting
connection? 1t is not at all calculated
to elevate one in social or even In business
life. Success mainly depends upon charac-
ter, and the general esteem in which a
person is held; and if the attempt is made
to snatch the reward of success before it is
earned, the half-formed footing may at
once give way, and the aspirant will fall,
unlamented. into the open-mouthed dragon
of debt.
