l take a great deal of paper and ink to | treat of it and it's various phases in de-
 tail, we will pass on.
 l He Che frail man) is not as a rule | feminine. This is a grammatical para
 dox, you win readily understand. He is not, however, as independent as he used to be in primeval days. The spirit of Democracy Is now (April, 1885 some
 what vitiated, and partial if not ab- solute demolition of the Democratic feeling is noticeable The gradual de-
 cay of Democracy is due probably to the l large gifts, Ssc,, (sonne call them fees or l bribes made during the last few years,
 but this is politics, and I must pass on. | It may seem impossible, but it is true, | that the selection of sleeping place | (dormitory) much affects the fra1l mans career. For instance, if the frail man from choice or otherwise takes his | repose in the gutter, the probable next
 step in his career will be the jail, where
 of course men are sometimes banded to-
 gether with Anutual likes and dislikes, and where even money cannot help to
 the maintaining of conventional laws, | but this leads me far from my original
 subject. must pass on.
 It is not one of the features of the
 frail man to be judged by his dress. | He Is not a dude but still he is fashion able, and while never loud in his dress ing, yet is getting more conspicuous
 each season. In early spring he salltes forth in the advance sheets of the sum-
 mer beds at Newport, and with two or
 three others or in duetts and trios or quartetts, he figures on the grand
 promenade, ogles the pretty girls,
 smokes a filthy pipe, does anything or
 everything he pleases and runs the
 town.

 These for the frail man are much
 what they are for other men, so I will not waste time by describing them, but
 will pass on.
 THE FRESHMAN.
 It is an undisputed fact that frail man becomes a man in almost every instance before he is twenty-one. This
 is interesting because otherwise you might imagine he would become wo- man. And this fact establishes, it seems scarcely necessary to enumerate, what are the outward indications of the boy. A freshman's chances for knock ing about are somewhat limited as compared with his chances for being knocked about, especially if he is too fresh. He has to be kept rigidly 'up to the mark" by those who possess the faculty.
 THE TRAIL MAN ATHLETE.
 Athletics have long furnished a di- version, they now constitute a profess sion, and for frail man to be identi- fled with athletics is to have a ''pull' with the world at large. CThis pull" is the kind where the ears come over the nose, a very ancient form of athlet- ic sport)
 The frail man sport is the one that has most fun. If you will glance into l a restaurant after great race or game | you will have an idea of the sort of | fun the frail man has on such occas- ions (other occasions not mentioned).
 The loving cup is an institution of the l frail man. When in a jovial mood he l can be seen with dozens round a table | quaffing from the loving cup some de- | licious connection, Champagne and DOT ter! O ye godsD
 There Is a famous historic house in | our town which Is one of the oldest tap houses in America. believe only one | other is older. This house remains as | 1t always was, and of course is not l "done up" after the fashion of an Eng | lish house, but it is a favorite resort for the frail man for rarebits, etc., and | here he gets his ale served him in a Toby.
 The frail mans fondness for chill dren's games when he is slightly inc briated is interesting, but as 1t would lead one too far from where I started must pass on.
 It goes without saying that a fresh" man is not received at oafes patronized | by upper class men, but in June, when upper class men are away--at the shore or elsewhere--he sometimes gets a peep at these places.
 The way the frail man takes to the drama is astounding It is not on record how many bad plays have been | written by frail men, for frail men to | act before frafl men, but as the frail man when he does indulge in this direc- ton has probably indulged in some oth- CT direction previous, the result is per haps eXcusable. The central episode ! In one great drama was man who as 3 king should come on the stage in a dignified state, came in through a trap floor in anything but a dignified state 'fesulting from indulgences alluded to) and then could not sing a certain song n tune with the orchestra. Whereup- Jn the frsil men in the audience laugh sd and the play was voted a success.
 The midnight perambulations of the rail man in pajamas, the strange losses If night keys, the affectionate embrac- ngs of lamp-posts, etc., are all too fa- niliar characteristics for me to dwell yn. will pass on. The fral mans thief passion is to be judged from the decoration of his room. The fact that l le has lots of pipes and a good many l 'steins'' on shelves, generally indicates hat he is fond of smoking and drink ng beer and if he has lot of pillows t is presumable that he likes to be comfortable. But there are more sub- Te indications of character, but as these would tax my brain too much to write : l. I A., q
