MOTHER NATIONAL PARK.

The establishment of our national parks has never been regretted by
 lovers of the country. The only res gret Is that more Is not done for these world famous national pleasure resorts It is just about a quarter Of century since Professor Hayden, at the head of scientific corps. made an expiana- ton of what is now known as Yellow stone Park. which resulted In induc- ing congress to pass an act reserving this now well known district as a na-
 tional park. The area of the tract is stupendous. comprising S,575 square miles. at an altitude averaging s.0oo feet. In this wonderful pleasure ground, reserved and withdrawn from sale. set tlement or occupancy, under the laws of the United States. there is an aggrega- ton of natural wonders in the way of geysers. canyons and water falls not equalled anywhere else in the world. Not Iessthan fifty geysers stud the plateau with their spouting columns to the height of from 50 to 200 feet. sev- eral of the great rivers have their starting point from the very heart of this colossal reservation. The estab- lishment of so vast a park has proved a national endowment of no ordinary significance. It is the grandest illustra- ton of pastoral pageantry that the world anywhere offers.
 Thus far the Adirondack Park has stood as the only other great forest reserve that American public spirit has been moved to reclaim from the hands of would-be-despoilers But there is now a movement on foot in- spired by Senator Squire, the repub- lican senator from the State of Wash ington, to add another great tract which will vie with the Yellowstone and Adirondack parks in natural beau ty, and will serve, like its predecess- ors, to keep for the coming genera tions great natural forests untouched by the devastating axe, and also the unique Arctic fauna and flora abounding on the Pacific coast, in the vicinity of Puget sound, for 1t is here that the new promised land is, if Senator Squires prayer is heard by congress, to be es- tablished.
 Mount Tacoma, dear to the memory of not few New Haven tourists, who have visited it, and which towers near ly 15,OO0 feet above the level, rising Il ,00O feet in seven miles, is to the pro- posed new reservation what the Adj rondacks are to our Eastern forest park, and what the Yosemite is as com pared with the grandeur and more varied beauties of the Yellowstone. It is to be hoped that the Pacific Forest Reserve may find earnest champions, who will bring to the herculean task of awakening public spirit, the enthu- siasm that has made our, national parks accomplished facts

The camerons. or Pennsylvania. have always been lucky in politics. Senator Cnmeron's father was elected to the United States senate in ls45. He was Lincoln's first secretary of war. later American minister to Rus sia and after that three times reelected to-day is at peace simply because to the senate. His son Donald began his political life in his fathers old position of secretary of war. When he left this office his father resigned from the senate and the son was chosen to i'll his place. and since then has been three times reelected. His brother-in- law. Wayne MacVeagh. was a member of Garfeld's cabinet as attorney gen. ernl. and Is now minister to Italy. Here are three cabinet portfolios. a foreign mission and seven terms in the United States senate. all held by members of one family in two generations.

around, and saw the funny picture. Then he wondered what he should do next; but just then through the yestry came Willie. His face was rosy from sleep and he looked little frightened. He walked straight toward his father and took Dan in his arms. and said:
 "Pleage 'scuse Dan. papa. went asleep. And he runncd away"
 Then he walked out with Dan lock- ing back on the smiling congregation. The preacher ended his sermon on Daniel as best he could. but he made a resolve if he ever preached again on the Prophet Daniel he would tie up that dog.--our Little Ones.

AN UNFORTUNATE INTERRUPTED,

How Little Willie and Dan Surprised a
 :>' = -' Congregation.
 Willie was asleep, and Dan was lone ly. Willie is the minister's son; Dan is his dog. It was Sunday morning and every one was at church but these two friends. It was warm and sunny, and they could hear the preaching, for their house was next door to the chufch..
 ''Dan," said Willie, 'it is better here than in church for you can hear every word"
 In some way while Willie was listen ing he fell asleep. Dan kissed him on the nose: but when Willie went to sleep he went to stay and did not mind trifles. So Dan sat down with the fun niest look of care on his wise black face, and with one ear ready for out side noises.
 Now, the minister had for his sub ject Daniel" This was the name he always gave Dan when he was teach ing him to sit up and beg, and other tricks. While the dog sat thinking, the name Daniel fell on his ear. Dan at once ran into the church through the vestry door. He stood on his hind legs, with his forepaws close beside the minister, who did not see him. but the congregation did, When the minister shouted Daniel" again, the sharp barks said 'Yes. sir." as plainly as Dan could answer.
 The minister started back, looked

FASHION NOTES.
Huts 8 Riot With Blossoms, [,

The crown-like piece upon which many hats of the season are lifted is called a landeux. The becomingness of almost any hat is added to by a landeaux covered with tiny bright flowers. Batiste bonnets are made some what on the plan of sun bonnet, only the scoop part is much abridged and the curtains hangs fascinatingly over the cheeks and ears. A big bow at the nape of the neck adds quaintness. The material must be the finest, and the rest of the costume should be provok- ingly demure. Immense straw hats are trimmed riotously with blossoms,

Again the Vigilant wins, and this time both the Britannia and Satanita were easily beaten. Among the noted wit nesses of the Vigilant's latest victory was the German emperor. A close race at the start, our American boat took the lead and kept it. All honor to the Vigilant. A few cheers and toots in recognition of her victory by the Brit fishers would have been eminently fit- ting. But the victorious boats success was greeted only with chilling silence, save for one or two feeble demonstra- tions. British yachtsmen took the beat ing of Britannia by our Vigilant like petulant schoolgirls. The Prince of Wales took it like a man. It is to be hoped that his future subjects will imi- tate his excellent example the next time.

The German Emperor's offer of a prize to the German universities for boat-racing has been gratefully ac- cepted. The Bonn and Berlin universi- Bities have resolved already to compete for it at Grunau next year, and a com naittee has been formed in Berlin (of which Professor Assmann, of Berlin, and Professor Ulllrich, of Heidelberg, are members) with view to induce other universities to take part in the race. There is a possibility that Bres- lau will do so. and notices have been posted up on the notice boards at the colleges calling upon students to found rowing clubs.

TORTURE ON THE SLIDING MACHINE.
portant is the continuity between the sprint
and the dive. A beginner will hesitate Just
before he strikes the mat This IL fatal
fault and Is the matter that requires most
attention.
After the knaok Of the slide is acquired
the mat Is given up for the ground. A
baseman IL stationed at either end Of the
cage, and a pitcher watches first" The
runner thus obtains practice in getting o
quick start. The kpack of sliding around
the baseman Is also striven for. Instead Of
going directly for tho bag the runner throws
his body out Of the base line, reaching out
with his hand for the base, his object being
to allow only his forearm to come within
the bassman's reach.
Every method IL used to stimulate the
runner to extra exertion. First two men
are started together, and both race down
the cage. One Is to slide, while the other
merely sets the pace. The captain incitss
them with such running comments as, "Oh,
that's slowr' "Shake legl' You're not
walking to churchp' Harder, hsrderr'
But IL Is never good form for baseball
captain to use profanity. Such preroga-
tive belongs only to the captain Of the crew
who bas the traditional privilege Of sailors.
The mat is not always In good condition.
II 1t 10 a little loose. IL may knock the wind
completely out Of the slider; II little damp,
IL burns" the whole underside of him,
and he needs barrel Of sifted rye -four to
give him peace.
Formerly batting practice was held In the
cage. Ten minutes day were given to each
man, practice beginning at a. m. and con-
tinuing on until 8, 1 or 3 o'clock, according
to the number Of applicants for positions
A regular schedule was posted and follow
ed. But II is a question whether oage bat
ting does much good, and at Harvard and
Yale but little attention Is now given to Il.
The background and the light In the cage
are very different from what they are on
the field. A player showing wonderful
ability in the inclosure may fail on the dia-
mond. Most men accustomed to batting In
the cage have to virtually learn all over on
going into the open air. This fact accounts
for the weak batting Of college mines early
In the season. One point IL learned In in
side practice, however, and that IL form A
man doesn't have to learn that again out
side. A series of light gymnastics and q
bath end the days work.
Many times candidate shows up poorly
In cage work and would quickly be dropped
but for his previous good work outside. An
Andover, or an Exeter, or a Lawrenceville,
or Hartford high school man may do very
bad work In the cage, but he will be kept
on'the list by the captain while seemingly
better men are dropped Unsuccessful can
didates and their friends grumble at the
''partiality," but usually the judgment is
vindicated as soon as the players 20 to the
