NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, September 6.-The
Cambridge athletes who are to meet Yale's
team are resting quietly here today, and
express themselves as well satisfied with
their surroundings.
They have visited Yale field, where they
are to train, and declare it to be fine bit
OF ground, all right in every respect, ex-
cept the cinder path, which is not hard
enough. This defect will be remedied by
wetting and rolling.
. The men will not begin to practice until
4 pm. daily, owing to the heat, which, al
though not considered excessive here, told
on the Englishmen yesterday. They say
1t was much cooler in England before they
started. Today the weather is more to
their liking. and there is COOL refreshing
freeze blowing through the city.
The practice will not be private. Captain
Koran says that he and his men are per-
fectly willing to allow spectators at the
field unless the crowd becomes so large as
to interfere with the men.
In the matter of diet, the American prin-
ciple of abstaining from supposed Injurious
food is not followed. The men eat what
they like, drink freely of ale and smoke
Some of them, Capt. Koran says, do not
Grange their habits even the day before
the contest

Too Much Country.
From the Boston Budget.


Gen. Longstreet, in telling of some Of his
experiences in the war the other evening,
said that during the campaign of the PENN
sula he never had any opportunity of Sleep
ing except as his corps was passing him.
One night, as he had dismounted. leaving
his horse in the charge of his orderly, and
going down into the angles of one of those
Virginia fences, he overheard two soldiers
talking, which interested him considerably.
and, instead of sleeping, he listened 10
them. One soldier said to the other: II
suppose it's all right that we should march
all night and fight by day. OF course, it is
right that we should do that, for the love
of country. if nothing else. l suppose that
we should be poorly clothed, as we are for
the love of country We should endure it.
I suppose that to be poorly fed as we are
we should suffer for the love Of country
Of course we should do that And 1 sup
pose, when you come to that, that we
should die, If necessary, for the love of
country. 1 am willing to. But there is just
one thing that 1 want to say, that If ever
1 live to get out Of this I'll be d if will
ever have another country"

STANDARD OF BEAUTY,
How Various Nations Have localized
Themselves.

From the London Times.
Is there any handsome people on the face
of the globe? Now, We may set aside the
black and yellow and poly-chrome races
in general, many of whom are well-shaped,
and Ike bronze statues to look upon, but
who do not come up to the Aryan stand
ard in features and color. Leaving these
children of nature out of the question, 1t
may be confessed that there is no race
among whom beauty is common. If the
ancient Greeks were like their statues,
then there was once a beautiful race, but
1t Is not so certain that they did not IDEAL
ize themselves a good deal.
There is the more reason to guess this,
as. when they have to represent a bar
barian, say Gaul or German, or pro-
fessional prize fighter, they make these
people as handsome as themselves, though
in rougher way. There is famous
bronze statue of a boxer, who might be
taken for an orator. a poet, were 1t not
for his heavy metal-studded gloves. Thus
1t may be deemed that there is great pro-
portion of the ideal in these statues, vases,
coirs and figures, where every one is so
graceful and goodly.
The Americans write as if their women
were a galaxy of lovelness; and then
comes military critic English), who only
saw three pretty women in the states ard
one of them was foreigner. There is 10
knowing what to believe when patriotism
boasts of the local fair.
Perhaps it might pay any American jour-
nal to send commissioner on beauty all
around the world; one who should give a
comprehensive and unbiased opinion. But
1t would be difficult for the world to be-
lieve in his judicial fairness, and no really
scientific result could be obtained. At home
we may all look about us, and ask where
beauty fourishes most. Now it may be a
heresy, but We think that the scientific
observer will find beauty most common
among the young workwomen and shop
girls on one hand, and among 1.-The highest
Circles 1.-The oldest families on the
other.

Concerning Slang.
From the Chicago Interior.

From the chicago Interior.
1t is not easy to trace the origin of any
particular specimen of slang. We notice
that smart writers are employing the cpl
tibet "iimfiam,' and will go out of Their,
way for an occasion to use it as a proc.
that they are up to date. An Irish gentle
man tells us that he was entertained by :,
friend in Philadelphia, whose porter came
back from answering the door bell, and
said to his master: Nobody but a bum. -
And what is a bum?" inquired the guest
The slang was explained to him. 1t is not
the same in Ireland. There, bum is a
diminutive for bombast. A bum is a brag-
CART, what we would call blowhard. Film
fam, like skedaddle and nearly all the sue
cessful slangs, is an neutrality-suspicious.
which last is among the great words which
we allow ourselves to employ only on spe-
cially impressive occasions-in plain terms,
a word the sound of which indicates its
meaning. A good slang word soon wins
Its way to proper use-though this is rather
too flimsyfamsical to last.
