Old Time Eooihall.

Football has never been very gentle
game, to judge from what Master
Stubbes says about it in his Anatomie
of Abuses" published in 1888:
For, as concerning football playing, l
protest unto you it may rather be called
friendly kinde Of fight than play of
recreation, bloody and numbering
practice than sport or pastime, for
dooth not every one lye in waight for
his adversarie, seeking to overthrow
him and to pickle him on his nose,
though it be on hard stones, so that by
this meanes sometimes their necks are
broken, sometimes their backs, some
times their legs, sometimes their armes,
sometimes one part thrust out of joynt,
sometimes another; sometimes the noses
gush out with blood; sometimes their
eyes start out.

An Independent LaMyer.

A lawyer, with his client, called one
day at the Office Of gentleman who is
considered to be one of the leading men
Of the Philadelphia bar. The lawyer
had an important case, and he wanted
to take the legal big gun in as adviser.
He explained his business and said he

the legal giant Il have an engagement

lawyer. Cant help it, I won't be

But my client can't come tomor-
row."
"Well, I cant break my engage
ment," said the senior. After some fur.
ther talk it was agreed that a meeting
be held that night. That afternoon, hav-
ing nothing else to do, the young law
yer and his client went to ball game
The first man they saw inside the

IRISH MUD CABINS.
How the Dingy Dwelling Places Are Con-
structed and Furnished.

structed and Furnished.
The mud cabin in Ireland consists Of
two rooms and possibly a small semide-
tached outhouse which is used rs q store
room for perishable articles There is
not chink in the walls or thatch save n
narrow chimney, which seldom IL ever
answers its purpose The doorway faces
the east and emits the smoke. What lit
tie light penetrates inside through the
tiny window discloses the deep choco-
late stain from the eternal turf reek
which pervades the atmosphere of the
interior, and literally paints walls, roof
and furniture uniform color The fur
niture is rough and also scanty, few
stools atoning for the occasional COM
plete absence Of chairs.
The mud floor is always more or less
wet from the patter Of the children s
bare feet or from the animals which
have free access to the house. At night
there is a goodly company within the
walls Of this spacious mansion. In the
inside room there are two or three box
beds or berths, where the children sleep,
according to their age and sex From
Q to 10 is not an uncommon number
in family. In the state berth in the
calliogh, or recess at the side OF the
hearth, the father and mother repose un.
screened from the live stock of the farm
and breathe the same atmosphere as some
eight quadrupeds besides the poultry.
Pigs, cattle, dogs, cats, and probably a
horse or donkey, have their bed space re-
spectively, and jealously resent any en-
croachment by bedfellow.
Astonishing as it may appear, there
are hardly any disagreeable odors. The
overpowering smell of the peat smoke
evidently acts as complete disipfectant,
and fortunately it is innoxious to the in
habitants of the hovel. Equally astonish-
ing is the fact that the whole commu-
nifty is in comparative harmony, and
even the babies rarely cry. There is
plenty Of occupation for all the family
who are able and willing to work, the
mother doing little else but nurse the
youngest infant -Cornhill Magazine

British "Red Coats"

We never think Of her majesty's SOL
diery as being attired in other than red
coats and brass buttons, but there was a
time when the regulation uniform of
British soldiers was entirely different
from what it is today. In the time of
Henry VIII the colors worn by the army
were green and white; later on, white,
with n red cross on the breast The first
mention of the "red coats, (which were
SO detested by the American patriots of
Revolutionary times, is found in cir

An amusing story is told Of Robert
Franz, the famous German song writer,
and another equally celebrated compos-
er. The incident occurred soon after
the publication of Franz's famous
"Open Letter to Edward Hanslick, " in
which he made severe criticism upon
some musical work of the compose
Johannes Brahms.
Franz had occasion at that time to
take a five or six hours trip by rail. In
the compartment with him was little
man with whom he fell into converse
tion. The fellow travellers found each
other delightful and whiled the hours
away in agreeable talk, which did not
turn upon music.
When the train reached Franz's des-
tination, he took out his card case, say
ing to his companion:
"You have made me pass a most de-
lightful afternoon. Allow me to gi~e
you my card "
The stranger seemed highly gratified
and offered Franz his card in return.
Each looked at the bit of pasteboard he
gers eyes opened wide at reading the
name Of his merciless critic, "Dr. Rob-
ert Franz" while Franz himself was
equally astounded at reading ON the card
in his hand, johannes Brahms. "
There was no time for mutual expla-
nations, but each Of the musicians had
discovered that, however their ideas
might differ from a musical standpoint,

companions and had found much to en-
joy in each other.-Youth' Companion.

POSING AT THE PIANO.
Paderewski Thinks Performers Should
Look Effective While Playing.

Look Effective While Playing.
When Paderewski was in New York.
he was calling at prominent Wall street
mans home in Fifth avenue when the
broker told him he would like to have
his opinion Of his daughters playing.
The great pianist courteously replied
that nothing would give him greater
pleasure.
After the young lady had dashed of
several selections Paderewski said.
ITO get the greatest enjoyment from
the piano the music must not only
be heard, but the performer should be
seen. The performer should therefore be
careful of his or her position at the in.
strument.
IL will be frank with you and say
that preferred TO see rather than hear
your daughter play. might better say
that looked more than listened. She
held herself correctly. There is nothing
hate more than listless, careless pos
ture Of the body while playing
"Then there was life in her touch.
Her fingers fairly sparkled as they ran
over the board and touched the keys,
rebounding from them with snap that
was exhilarating to behold. Her manner
Of using her hands and her elbowing, IL
may so call 1t, showed proper training
also.
II will therefore add that my sense Of
hearing would have been equally de-
lighted doubtless IL my sense Of sight
had not been so completely monopolized.
I compliment the young lady on her ac-
complishment.
There is wisdom in that" said the
broker in repeating the conversation.
Teachers Of the piano should give far
more attention TO this matter than they
now do New York Advertiser.

SHE HALTED HER PASTOR.

a spirited encounter Will Woiuo Cooh
place Sunday night in the Campbell
Methodist church, at Media, Pa, be-
tween Rev. 2. NJ. Laws, the pastor,
and Mrs. Dallett Green, -an offended
member OF his congregation. One OF
the trustees elected the woman and her
friend and as result he was arrested
Monday. They tried to have warrants
issued for Rev. Laws, but failed.
The trouble began, it appears, at the
marriage of Mr.. acd Mrs. Green about
year ago. II is said that the pastor
was offered wine at the marriage feast
and refused it, and has since taken
occasion to refer to it indirectly several
times in his sermons. He made it the
basis of temperance talk Sunday
evening, although he did not mention
the Greens.
Then Mrs. Green resolved that
matters should be brought to head.
She marched toward the pulpit and
accused Rev. Laws of making state
ments in regard to the wine episode
which were untrue. She asked him 10
retract and apologize, bnt he refused to
do either. There were loud and angry
words exchanged, during which Mrs.
Green told Pastor Laws what she
thought of him.
Greatly excited, Rev. Laws eXclaim-
ed II want the trustees to remove this
woman Immediately from the church" "
Three or four of the trustees moved
forward, but only one was willing 10 do
the pastors bidding.
Daniel Jameson grasped Mrs. Green
by the arm and shoulder, and, although
she resisted, he dragged her toward
the door. She is plump and strong,
aud Jameson had all he could do in
getting her outside. She was pushed
through the vestibule door, and then
hustled out on the pavement.
Miss Bessie Nicholson, who came to
Mrs. Green's assistance, was also eject
ed, and iu the struggle one of her ears
was cut, and bled freely.
Mrs. Green and Mrs. Nicholson,
mother of Bessie, boiling with indigna-
tion, yesterday went before Justice
Walters to swear out warrants for
both, but the justice said that Jameson,
only, could be arrested criminally. Rev.
Laws had only used his tongue.
The woman insisted that the preach
er had ordered their removal. Justice
Walters said that didn't make any diff
ference, although Mrs. Green and her
friend claimed there had been riot.
"Why," said Mrs. Nicholson, in
speaking of it, "the church was turned
for time into prize ring, and help
less woman was fought"
A warrant was issued for Trustee
Jameson, and he was arrested yester-
day evening on the charge of assault
and battery upon Mrs. Green and Miss
Nicholson.
Pastor Laws says that in his sermon
about wine he spoke only the truth.
II didn't" he said, clay hand upon
Mrs. Green, but l ordered her put out
because she was using language unbe-
coming the house OF God"
