the record for season or two yet.

A Very Pleasant Entertainment by the
Cadets in the Armory Last Night.
The big hop given by the cadetsat the
Linsly Institute arnory last night was
bigsuccess. The attendance exceeded
the expectations of the most sauguine,
There were fully 1850 couples present,
Had 1t not been for the dimness OF the
lighting, the gas being short on account
OF the frozen pipes, the floor would have
presented brilliant scene, The con,
trastlng decorations OF the flags and
streamers suspended from the caves and
around thewalls, with thehighlypolished
guns and accoutrements, presented q
very striking effect. The colors on the
floor were also very picturesque, with
the lningling Of the ladies' toilets, the
bright uniforms Of the cadets and
sombre black OF the many dress suits.
Although the number OF guests in even.
lug dress exceeded the uniforms Of
the cadets present, tho latter held their
own, military buttons and uniforms
holding high favor in the young misses,
eyes. An excellent programme OF
twenty-five dances was played by tho
Opera House orchestra. At mid
night these were interrupted by a
pleasant diversion in the form OF
refreshments served by Caterer burst,
in the main school room on the
third floor, after which dancing was re-
sumed until u late hour. Prof, j. NJ,
Birch and Lieut.. William Brauners-
reuther, in full uniform, and the teach

receiving and looking after the welfare
OF the guests.
All OF the cadets we're highly pleased

THE ELGIN MARBLES,
The Question of Their Restoration o
of Artistic ExDediencv

The Question of Their Restoration One
of Artistic Expediency.
Every year or so it is rumored in
Athens that we are going to send these
stolen treasures back. England is the
only nation in the world which has
ever been known to surrender valua-
BILE territory unthreatened and simply
on sentimental grounds, says Bickford
Smith in "Greece Under King George -
If England gave up the Ionian islands,
they argue, worth several millions
sterling, why should they not give
back the marbles which, if put up to
auction in lots, would hardly fetch a
million?
Capt. Trant, writing in 1880, said that
it was reported that the king of Ba-
varia, who was great Philhellene,
had expressed his intention of making
his Glyptothek at Munich disgorge the
Aiginetan marbles and restoring them
to Greece. He rightly thought it prob
lematical, and they are, of course, still
at Munich. Oddly enough, the people
who abuse us most for having robbed
the Parthenon are not the Greeks but
the French, who have done more of
that kind of thing than any nation
since the Romans.
This occurred to Chateaubriand, who
confessed to a certain amount of mild
spoliation himself, and he attempted
to contrast our thefts with those of his
compatrsots; his first distinction that
they lid not pull down to take away is
plausible, but will not bear examina-
ton, as the bare places they left be-
hind them in Italy were quite as great
eyesores, and the precious prey did not
stand in SO great need of projections;
his second distinction, that in their
case the glory of France required it,
smells too much of vanity for us to
have anything to do with it.
The question of the restorati of
the Elgin marbles is one of artistic ex-
pediency. Few Englishmen would
maintain that we had a moral right to
keep them longer than is necessary in
the interests of art. The first question
to be decided is whether they are more
useful to the world in London or in
Athens. If it be in doubt the original
ownership of Athens should shift the
balance of proving the superior advan-
tages of London on to us; if 1T be ad-
mitted that Athens is the more suita-
BILE place for them, the question re-
solves itself into selecting the right
moment for their restoration. This
will obviously be when they will be in
no danger from either foreign enemy
or revolutionary mob. 1 am inclined
to answer the first question in favor of
Athens. To the second should reply
that as long as Deleyannism exists the
marbles must stay in the British muse
um, which means that, before they go,
the criminal statistics must show a
very marked improvement and the
drachma must get to within ten per
cent. of it's nominal value.

CAREFUL OF THEIR COAL.

Russian Warships Use Sail Exclusively
Unless in Hurry.
People who have been accustomed to
see in the new ships of the United
States navy the almost entire absence
of masts and spars have probably, in
many instances, been surprised at the
presence of tall masts and immense
sail spreads on the Russian ships re-
Gently in New York, says the Times.
The Russians make extensive use of
sails. The absence of Russian coalinr
stations at various points of the world
makes 1T imperative that the Russian
ships husband their coal supply To
encourage the commanders of Russian
warships to use as little coal as possi-
bic, the Russian ministry of marine, it
is said, makes provision for the dis
tribution in money among the officers
and men of warships of certain per-
centage of the value of the coal saved
This allowance goes to the messes Of
the officers and seamen. American
naval officers have noted on more than
one occasion, on passing Russian war
ships at sea, that the latter were nearly
always under full sail. The Dimitri
Donskoi, which visited New York re-
Gently, is reported to have sailed from
the Siberian coast to the west coast of
Europe. The Rynda sailed from Cron-
stadt to Montevideo. The Russians
resort to coal only when entering and
leaving ports and when going into ac-
ton, or when they want to make a
rapid passage. The Russian ships,
while in American waters, had no oc-
casion to use dry docks. The two Ital-
ian cruisers, Giovanni Bausan and Da-
goli, being upsheathed vessels, were
compelled to use dry docks while here.
Russian warships, when departing
from Russian port are fitted out with
view of remaining at sea, if neces-
sary, for three years without making
port. With this view even the most
advanced types of many of Russia's
new ironclads are fitted with masts
and spars and carry, nearly all of
them, the studding sail gear so familiar
thirty years ago on fast American clip

A STORY OF TENNYsoN.
How He Shocked the Jingoes of Londol
in Reading "The Revenge"


in Reading "The Revenge"
A capital story, which is quite au-
thentic, is told about the late laureate
and his wonderful poem, "The Re
venge." 1t was first published in the
Nineteenth Century in 1878 or 1879. On
the eve of its publication Tennyson in
vited between thirty and forty of his
most intimate friends to his house in
Easton square, in order that he might
recite this patriotic piece to them. 1t
is well known that Lord Tennyson
was an excellent man of business. Had
he written Paradise Lost" he would
have been both very hungry and very
cold before accepting ten pounds
sterling for the copyright. A letter of
his is in existence which, after offer
ing the right to publish his works at a
certain price, ends with declaration
that, whether the publisher accepts
his offer or not, he Lord Tennyson)
would not accept "a blessed penny
less! In fact, he was very much like a
certain Leeds banker who, when asked
by a customer to cash draft for a
large amount over the counter, replied:
"We do nothing for nothing for no.
body here" In Wemyss Reid's Life
of Lord Houghton" there is an anus
ing letter from the late laureate,
which compares the writer of poetry
for nothing to the milking of the
goats. When the recital of ''The Re-
venge" in Easton square took place,
there was much jingo feeling about in
fashionable society in London, and
not few infected persons were among
the select audience. As the poet pro-
ceeded in his rich and sonorous tones.
rendered all the more attractive by his
Lincolnshire accent, the favored few
hung upon his words. When he reached
the last lines:
And the whole sea plunged and fell on the shot.

And the little Revenge herself went down by
the island crags,
To be lost evermore in the main
the feelings of all present were strung
up into excitement and enthusiasm,
when, to the amazement of all, the
laureate added, without the slightest
pause, and without the least change of
tone in his voice, land the beggars
only gave me three hundred pounds
sterling for it, when it was worth at
least five hundred pounds sterling or
more"

llliteracy in Various Countries.

Recent statistics state that the
greatest proportion of illiterates is
found in the three Slavic states of
Roumania, Russia and Servia, where
so per cent of the population is un-
able to read or write. Of the Latin
speaking races Spain heads the list
with As per cent, France and Belgium
having about 4h per cent. The litter
ates in Hungary number about 4S per
cent; in Austria, so per cent, and in
Ireland, 21. In England we find 13 per
cent; Holland, 10 per cent; United
States (white population), per cent,
and Scotland, Z per cent. unable to
read or write. When we come to the
purely Teutonic states we find a
marked reduction in the percentage of
illiterates. The highest is in Switzer-
land, 2.5. In the whole German en-
pire it is but 1 per cent. In Sweden.
Denmark, Bavaria, Baden and Wur-
temburg there is not single person
over ten years of age unable to read
and write.

Pointed.

Clergymen are supposed to have a
peculiar talent for improving the oc-
casion." How one of them did this in a
witty and, let us hope, an edifying
manner, is related by the Boston Jour-
nal, In early life he had met with an
accident which left him with broken
nose, deformity about which, in spite
of his piety, he was known to be a lit
tie sensitive. One day new inquirer
propounded the old question: ''How
happened you to break your nose?"
The minister answered solemnly: ITO
tell the truth, my friend, the accident
was caused by my poking my nose into
other peoples business
