Strength of a tootba1 leam.

DR.. Henry G. Boyer of this city, sta
toned at the Naval Academy, has
worked out formula for determining
the strength of football team. The
elements enteringit it are the breathing
capacity, leg strength, arm strength and
back strength of the men composing the
II, and by application of his theory to
the various college teams of the past
season he has reached the conclusion
that the absolute strength of team de-
termines the result of game. This OPP
ems up an interesting field of specula-
ton. If the formula is of general APP
plication the only thing needed in order
to determine the championship will be
the comparative strength of the various
teams. We shall then have football
without the accompaniment of broken
legs and bruised heads or even playing
of any kind.

Genuine Altar of Roses.

When you see genuine altar Of roses"
offered on the bargain counter" for
twenty-five cents half pint you are
justified in suspecting that article. The
real ''attar" comes in copper canteens,
which weigh about twenty ounces. They
are valued at 800 apiece. The present
supply of altar is chiefly derived from a
small tract Of country on the southern
side of the Balkan mountains in the
Turkish province of Roumania. The
principal seat of the trade is in the town
of Kizanlfk, and the damask rose is the
flower grown.
The peasants plant it in rows in gar
dens and fields. During the month Of
May the flowers are gathered by boys
and girls in sacks and clothes baskets.
The flowers are daily distilled that they
may lose none of their odor by delay. It
is said that about $500 pounds of flow
ers are required to produce 24 pounds of
pure ttar.-Buffalo Commercial.

Now he takes his seat at the desk, when
he becomes aware that he has left his
manuscript behind. He is greatly per-
picked, for without manuscript it is i'm
possible for him to proceed with the lee

up to his room in breathless haste. His

He then takes off this coat and puts on

The Consular Seal Traffic.

Secretary of the Treasury Foster has
given the subject much study and has
concluded that it would not be wise to
interfere with the consular seal traffic
over the Canadian railroads which origi-
mates in the United States and is des-
tined to points in the United States.
Traffic originating outside this country
and destined to points within it might,
he thinks, will be subjected to examina-
ton at the border. The quadruplicate
invoices required by the treasury regula-
tions, announced in July, 1891, SO the
agents report, stopped all smuggling.

CAPTURED BY MISTAKE.
A Good Story of the War Told BY a
Maine Man.

The Boston Journal has been publish
ing good many interesting reminiscent
cies of the war and they have brought
out this good story by Leroy t. Carleton
of Winthrop, who belonged to the SOD
Maine:
1t was some time in the fall of 1865, 1
was mere boy, sergeant in Company
E, Thirty-Second Maine Regiment, Sec
ond Brigade, Second Division, Ninth Ar
my Corps, in front of Petersburg. There
had been an understanding between the
picket lines of the contending armies for
some time-for no firing-and all day
long the Blue and the Gray were plainly
visible to each other and in close prox-
unity. Jokes were frequently passed
back and forth, and it was not uncom-
mon for two or three of each side to
meet midway between the lines and
swap for Johnny hoe cake. A Massachu-
sets captain who had thus gone between
the lines, was one day '.gobbled up
taken prisoler-when orders were issued
to stop this proceeding. One cold,
drizzly Sunday not long after / was on
the picket line. and a New Hampshire
captain was officer of the guard. In the
afternoon we saw down at the left a
TeDeA move u paper, 1oC EreCelVluS an dIl-
swer he moved up in front of our picket
post and moved his paper. Our captain
of the guard moved paper in return,
whereupon the rebel commenced to adj
vance toward our post. Our captain said
he would bring him in or die in the at
tempt, and started to meet him. They
met about midway, shook hands and our
captain did not let go his grasp, drew his
revolver and brought him into our lines.
The Johnny was very mad and swore
roundly. calling it a id Yankee trick.
He had on fine steel gray uniform and
silver spurs and said he was an orderly
to Gen. Lee.
He was taken to General Grifin's
headquarters (the general was brigade
commander) and from thence to General
Pot er's headquarters. General Potter
was our division commander. There my
duty ceased. We learned soon after
ward that our prisoner was no less per-
sonage than Major General Roger A.
Pryor, now a famous lawyer in New
York city, and one of the counsel for
Mr.. Tilson in his suit against Henry
Ward Beecher. If this sketch is read by
any one who was on the picket line that
day and saw this occurrence would like
to have them write me.
