him that he was so excellent q marks.
man that he could bring down birds in
their most rapid flight. The monarch
made this answer:
well, then, l will take you into my
service when l make war upon star

This reply stung the archer to the
quick, and it was fully proved that e D

him who makes it. Aster, ha. ing
thrown himself into the city, let fy an

takes Mentone he will hang Aster."
And accordingly. having taken it, he

It Il Now Inhabited and Possesses = Little
Town..
1t is not generally known that Juan
Fernandel-the island on which Alex
ander Selkirk, the Robinson Cru oe OF
romance, lived so many years-is at
the present time inhabited. Two VAL
leys, winding down from different di.
rcctions, Join q short diStan o back
from the shore, and there now stands
little village Of small huts scattered
round a long oue-storied building with
II veracda running its whole length.
In this house lives the man who rents
the island from the Chiiian Govern
ment. and the village Is made up OF a
few German and CHILEAN families
The tiny town is called San . a Bar
tista, and the crater-like q III of the
sea ON which it is situated. and where
Alexander Selkirk first landed, Is now
called Cumberland Bay. The island
is rented for about s2vO a year. The
rent is Iaid partly in dr.ed fish.
Cat hing and drying the many varie.
ties Of fish an raising cattle and veg
tables wholly occupy the c~nntente1
settlers. an mich OF their little in
come Is obtained from the cattle and
vegetables sold to passing vessels.
At the back OF the little town, in the
FIRST high cliff, Is a row of caves o. re.
markable appearance hewn into the
sandstone. An unused path leads to
them, and a short climb brings II to
their dark mouths. About iorty years
ago the CHILEAN Government thought
that a good wav to get rid o. its worst
criminals would be to transport them
to the island OF Juan Fernando /.
Here, under the direction OF Gillian
soldiers. these poor wretches we're
made to dig caves to live in. In Is5l
tIey we're taken back again, however,
and the ca es have since been slowly

the officers of the British ship Topaz.

football which both Yale and Princeton
have exhibited in years past. The game
itself, however, was totally different
from the recent Yale-Harvard smuggling
match and was played from the start to
the finish without a display of temper or
n show of blood. just us long as the
game can be played in this way ii will
remain the most popular Of college sports.
The Western football season just clos
cd suggests very strongly the organiza-
ton Of a Western Collegiate Football
League. For the last few seasons GER
tain college teams have clearly excelled
all their Western rivals, and it is the
opinion Of many Western college men,
alumni among the numhcr--that a league
should be organized. This seasons work
has shown that Wisconsin, Michigan,
Minnesota, Purdue. University Of Chica.
go and University Of Illinois excel the
other Western colleges ut the kicking
game, just AZ they have done for several
years. II these six institutions should es-
tablish q league it would undoubtedly
greatly improve the game in the West.
With a ~six-college league, all the men,
bers of which had comparatively strong
teams, a schedule of games could be ar
ranged in which there would be almost
a. much interest rs now 10 shown in the
great games East. A point In favor OF
the league suggested is that four Of the
colleges are located In large towns, where
big attendance ut games would be a Ger
fainty. The exceptions are the universi-
ties Of Michigan and Illinois, yet while
Ann ArboY and Champaign are not large
places they would doubtless turn out well
to games Of importance, and the attend
ancs OF the students aione would be no
lnc~onstderable figure. Lafayette n !
thorough football town and gamcs with
Purdue would always be a financial sue
cess. Almost the Same can be aid OF
Madison and the Wisconsin team.

The Dolefui Message of Defeat.

The DO1eful Message of Defeat.
Never from the tombs came a more
doleful tune than runs it weary length

message 1t is the song of a dodo bird,
which Is described as massive. clumsy.
tiightless and defenseless.' sitting
amid the broken eggsheils waiting for
death TO come and extinguish it's vain
life and race.
With painful repetition Mr.. Cleve-
lane goes over the reports of his secre-
taries. bestowing a perfunctory econ
mendation here and there, but adding
nothing to the intelligent apprehension
OF their suggestions. Buried amid n
haystack of undigested thoughts on az
riculture, the President hides a grain
of civil service reform-a sad reminder
to bis old friends that this hope of the
nation was once the keystone of his po-
lttical arch. He dismisses 1t with Just
as much enthusiasm as he expends on
the weak yet false and dangerous re-
port of the Strike Commission. Upon
each he bestows a stereotyped recon-
mendation to careful consideration.
Inmindful Of the verdict of last
month. President Cleveland still =
further tampering with the tariff. to
the end apparently that the American
market may be thrown still wider open
to the manufactures of the world and
h a American worklngmen may see
the money that should pay them living

Gates the Presidents appreciation Of
the peoples verdict which he has no
the grace to acknowledge frankly,
Upon Secretary Carlisle Mr.. Cleve-
land throws the labor and responsible
ity for the Administrations new
scheme Of currency reform. In this he
is wise, for his own attempt to explain
1t really befogs Its most promising fea-
lures. Touching the finances Of the ma
ton. after telling Congress that the de-
felt for the year ending June 80, 1894,
was $G9. S03, 2G0, the President places
the deficit for the current year at only
$2D.00O.OOO, when it Is already more
than that. Where he expects to make
mp the deficiency in the next six
months he does not deign to say, prob
ably because he does not know. When
the Treasury wants more gold the Pres
ident says he will sell more bonds,
and that Is about all the remedy he has
for the drain upon the Treasury.
