Side Hunts and Fishing Matches.

The too common practice of holding
side hunts and fishing matches, In which
lot of men take sides and destroy life to
learn which side can total the most points
during day, does not SAVIOR Of true sports
manship, says Outing for August. The
most successful butchers win the stakes,
usually supper, and the two teams make
merry and imagine that they are great
sportsmen. incidentally the game or fish
of the district where the event comes off
gets the worst Of it. The spur of rivalry
impels every contestant to slaughter as
much as he possibly can, and the desire to
score points encourages most unsports-
manlike methods. Very frequently in the
side hunts points are allowed for birds
which are not recognized as game and
which might much better be spared. In
any event. whether shooting or fishing
the amount of fun enjoyed is far from fair
compensation for the damage done. No
bird or fish should ever be killed merely
to swell the count.

IRISH POLICE AND THE MARINES.
Men on Shore Leave Allowed to Ripen to
Their Last Moment.

Men on Shore Leave Allowed to Rtpen to
Their Last Moment.
Converting marine into a deserter is
ono of the fine arts. He comes on shore
for week and finds the authorities very
pleasant. He imbibes freely, and the au-
thorities wink. For six days he paints
the town brilliant CORY hue, and the au-
thorities smile, and on his last night ON
shore the individual constables who con-
stitutc the authorities become bountifully
generous But when the last boat leaves
for the guardship the amiable and munif-
cent constables, who from an early hour
have assembled on the pier head and hun
Crily scanned the crews to calculate the
absentees find each jolly, jolly mariner
returning to his post reveling in ingrati-
tude, spirits and punctuality.
The royal Irish garrison (constabulary)
of O southern town once made fine haul
that recompensed them for many disap-
pointments. About 100 marines, bent on
having a good time, came ashore on four
days leave. To inaugurate the festivities
the boys assembled in the market square
and with one wild charge swept all civil
ians off the streets and took exclusive pos
session of the town. This amusement was
so exhilarating that few of the holiday
makers tried it next night of their own
bat and were nearly killed.
To avenge these injured heroes the
whole force turned out the third night;
but, to their surprise, the whole country
side marched in with blackthorns and
whaled them. The last boat was to leave
at O'Clock next evening-much too early
to permit of respectable riot During
the day, moreover, it was rumored that If
they waited until dark and made another
charge the constabulary would come to
their assistance if hard pressed. This was
too tempting. If they could get on board
before flights out" they might escape
with a bit of a wigging SO there would be
time for at least an hours fun. So they
charged. And there were more blackthorns
than ever beating them when the police
joined in, who, instead of beating the civil
ians batoned the poor marines. Seven
of the bruised warriors that night escaped
to the ship. The remainder were returned
piecemeal during the week at reduced rates
for taking a quantity.-London Idler.

expenses of his education and came to
Troy without money and without friends
among our citizens. He began at the

position in the legal profession, command

energy and force of character.

Dutch Celebrations.

Foreigners sometimes smile at the way
Dutch people go ON celebrating historical
events which occurred several centuries
ago. and there is no denying that the
yearly commemoration of a siege Of Gron-
ingcn in the year 1894 may become some
what monotonous, but it keeps the memory
of these events fresh among the younger
generation better than any history learned
at school, Unlike the old lady who did
not care for history because she thought
"bygones had better be bygones," Dutch
children, with these constant appeals to
their imaginations, learn to look upon the
past as part of the present and to feel that
they are bound to make themselves worthy

icy believe inhabit the bodies of all men.
The first is the animal spirit, which has
its scat in the brain, performing through

has. its seat in the heart and which has
