THE SPOT.

exciting seems remarkable, and speaks in no uncertain language of the gen tlemanly training of the men on the field.
 When ex-Capt. Hinley and l first came on the practice ground Capt. Thorne was standing in front of a line of men. At intervals wild-eyed youths dashed up with egg-shaped oalls clasped tightly in their arms. At the approach of each one of these runners of the gauntlet the captain sharply called the name of some man in tue ranks As we drew near we heard Thorne's voice cry ''Sheldon!a A run ner was swiftly approaching; at the cry of the commander 197 pounds of IT. year-old bone and muscle leaped in front of the onrushing bearer of the ball. The young giants brow was wrinSled and his eyes wide open for an instant as he stood there in a erouehing position awaiting his man. Then there was a sudden lengthening out of six feet of dirty padded uniform and Shei- don grabbed the runner around the legs with his long arms A cloud of dust, q view of flying legs, and with resounsi- ing whack the two forms were stretched at full length upon the ground.
 LOW, Sheldon, fowl" the captain aad cried. Now he said: aTry another, and

charmingly and unmistakably in earn est, all so ambitious of doing well and meeting the approval of their fair haired captain, that my heart was with them.
 It is heroic work, this training that the Yale men go through. Where pro motion from the ranks is determined only by the candidates proving him. self superior to his companions in skill and fitness for position as one of the chosen eleven, it is educational to ob- serve how perfectly this self-composed discipline works. One cannot help making comparisons with our regular army, where commission is practical ly out of the reach of man in the ranks and where discipline is only preserved by guard houses, guns and court mar tials.
 On the Yale practice grounds you hear the order of the coach and the noise of men in rapid motion,or the in- articulate grunts and gasps as they fall md stack themselves up in heaps, with shield-preteeted legs and shaggy heads protruding at all angles. When the coach approves and compliments them they maintain the same silent. respect- ful demeanor as when he reproves or eorrects them; and the utter absence of profanity in a struggle so arduous and

About Moths.

Twill heusekepers never understand, ," said druggist who had been weigh. ing moth balls, camphor gum and other so-called enemies to moths, for month or more, that if clothing is put away with the eggs of the moth on it, moths will in all probability hatch and feast their furs and fannels in spite of all their efforts to the contrary?' Cloth. ing that needs wind and sun should, in our climate, be put on the line in March and be beaten, brushed and cleansed in every part It should be then laid in trunk, or clean bureau. drawers, until ready to be sealed in paper, labelled and put away for the summer. In the latter part of April and the month of May it is dangerous to leave anything woolen or fur on the line even few minutes after brush- ing, as that is the time that the moth miller takes to the nice sun-warmed garment, crawls perhaps into some pocket, and lays it's eggs.-N.

While Hinkey was calling. correcting, suggesting or applaudinr i'll his own peculiar, quiet manner. Capt. Ihorne took time to shake hands wlthmeand say few words in cordial manner.
 Thus the work went on without in- terruption, and as I watched man after man attempt to dash by, and man after man, when his name was called, spring fearlessly out to tackle the coming cy clone in blue sweater and shinguar.ls could not but admit that this was not gentle work-that it even looked a little rough. These men fall hard. b1it they know how to fall, so that no tn- jury results from their sudden contact With the earth. They learn to think rapidly, to invent, to decide upon a course of action and put it in force simultaneously with the birth of the idea. Is this physical training alone? Is 1t not also mental training of a healthy, natural kind?
 After considerable time spent at shis work the men were divided into squads and fell to practieing passes.

 On the Yale field the wind blew so cold that l kept the collar of my over coat turned up. On the Princeton grounds the grasshoppers were merri- ly skipping about, utterly reckless of guard tackles and center rushes.

He had for some time past laid it by, though not until it had protected him in many scrimmage; and now Mr. Corbin, or "Par Corbin, as the team call him, uses the experience he has gained to instruct the new teams. He pays particular attention to center rush, for he knows all about center rushes, having developed the possibili- ties of that position himself.
 Ex-Capt. Hinlley keeps his keen eyes on the end rush. Bliss looks out for half back, and some veteran is always on hand to look after the development of the other positions.
 It was "Par Corbin's" voice I heard oftenest, and he shouted such things as these: "SiX, five, four, seven-Now!l Get your weight right on him! Get through! that's right!
 Four, seven, six, eight, all ready? Now!l Take a man, Cross, and stick to him! Stick to him!l Oh heavens!! bring that ball back-that'sa anice thing to do.

Large bead-like raised dots are much used in needlework designs seen on linen and denim spreads and cushions. These dots are used to connect the diff ferent parts of a design, much as stem stitch is used They are also used to fill out the centers of flowers and in various other ways. They are worke solid over a mold, which gives them the raised effect. A center piece of white linen seen the other day had the scalloped edge composed of these dots, large dot in the center of each seal lop, with the next and the next on each side gradually decreasing in size. --St Louis Repu blic.

It Is Often Withheld Until Too Late to
 Do Good.
 ''Taffy is better than epitaphy," says some one. 1t is sometimes difficult amidst the restraints and convention- alties of everyday life to speak our love and interest in the welfare of those near us in the daily life. The opportunity does not seem to come; the heart does not seem to open itself freely. The husband thinks his wife incomparable; but their talk is of bus mess, household expenses and social engagements, and there seems to be no point at which the ten der speeches of their courtship can be renewed. The wife believes her husband to be the greatest man in America, but she fears to tell him so lest he call her a sentimental little goosie." The children are not unmind- ful of the debt they owe their parents, but their native and acquired inde- pendence keeps them from speaking of it, and their parents wonder sadly if their boys and girls arc growing away from them, now that they are growing toward manhood and woman hood. By and by calamity breaks up the long habit of reserve. The loved one passes out of the daily presence, and then the words of love are spoken. They are not insincere words, but they are fruitless, for the moment of their opportunity is past.

Tn these days of hypocrisy and friv- olitv it is refreshing to see real earn estness. With .brainless pomp and cringing servility on all sides, it is encouraging to behold real democ- racy. When political pulls and long purses are acknowledged to be the only ladders upon which one can hope to climb to so-called positions of honor, it is inspiring to look upon laurels that can only be attained by industry, per- severence and genuine superiority to all competitors.
 To-day, as l stood beside that popular young hero, Capt. Thorne, of Yale, and surveyed his sturdy troop of frowzy- headed combatants, dressed in padded leather and woolen armor, all streaked with yellow earth and green stains of grass, felt that it would be an honor to join their ranks. They were all so

off into the field-a startling specimen of the coming artist.
 In their manners the captains of the two teams resemble each other some what. Both are genial, nice fellows, and both are big men. Capt. Thorne gives one the impression of being more burly about the chest and arms-but that may be due to the fact that Lea wears a tight, rather thin, black sweater.
 Capt. Lea, being brunette, is con- sidered by some to be better looking. He has pleasant, boyish face, with large chin, which indicates that there's plenty of reserve fight in him when occasion requires.
 It is interesting to note some of their mannerisms during the play.
 Capt. Thorne, when he is sighting the ball, gets down on one knee, resting his chin on his hand or laying one hand across on the other arm.
 Capt. Lea stands still and looks down at the ball for an instant then stoops down i'll an intense attitude, and cross ing his arms grips the right knee with his left hand and the left with his right hand. It is characteristic pose, there was no other like it.
 Each player has pose of his owr which is peculiar to him. One Yale man gets down on one knee in a very stagey position with his hand on his heart Some men pose like runners in the start of a 100 yards dash, with hands resting on the ground. Others, with hands on knees, intently watch the ball.
 The old veterans of both teams come back during practicing season to coach them. Sometimes there is whole drove of 'em on the field at once, each paying attention to the particular po-. sition in which he gained laurels in his own day. Thus the knowledge of the. game is accumulated and handed down from generation to generation, and each new team possesses all the knowledge of its own experience, with added knowl- edge of the football pioneers. This, added to the enthusiasm of the boys, accounts for the scientific growth of the game. DAN BEARD.

"A hunter riding through the woods near Gray's river, Wash, recently, came to big fallen tree in his path. The ground seemed clear on the other side. and he leaped his horse over the trunk. The horse landed squarely on the back of bear, which evidently had been asleep there. The bear was as much startled as the horse and quickly made off, while the hunter was thrown to the ground, the horse pitch ing him out of the saddle sideways in its frightened leap away from the bear.

but aimed to perfect their skill in ex- ecuting them. Capt. Lea and his 1hen have no doubt of their skill, but are constantly experimenting upon new wrinkles.
 At Yale one man, scrub named Post, crawled out from under pile os canvas and sweater-covered men. and was helped by eomrade outside the lines. where he lay rubbing his shoHl- der. In the practice game with the scrubs at Princeton, two men were helped off the field, and one was car ried off
 Say, boys," said l, when I saw this, ''What's the matter? Aren't you play ing pretty rough'o''
 "Oh, no" they answered, "the fel- lows get hurt because the ground is hard. Yale has sandy soil, you know, and we have hard clay"
 Somehow or other this seems to be scarcely a sufficient reason to account for the two men on crutches at the training table, and the three injured in the scrub game.
 think, without doubt, that they are decidedly more reckless and take great CT chances than the men do at Yale on the practice field. Not once did detect the slightest attempt to disable or injure each other, but big man would double himself up and then lengthen out with snap as he shot an incredible distance through the air to tackle pair of fast-feeing striped stockings. When upwards of 200 pounds is hurled in that catapult fash ion, in spite of pads and armor the con cussion must be terrific.
 At New Haven 1 saw only four or five of those hideous rubber noses. At sters with elastic gray proboscises. Not content with this, many of them had perforated leather pads on their ears and on the top of their heads, and huge pineushions on their shoulders. The head cushions and ear pads are Prince

 nemade.
 The headgear is fastened by means of straps, but the rubber nose is held Ill J4e leetH, dHd 1t IS not dn unSOlnnOD thing for Princeton man to "bite off his own nose"
 Some of the men, when about to kick, slide up the armor and let go of the nose. It looks very comical to see that long nose flying out behind the frowsy head of a kicking Tiger.
 When they were carrying Riggs, L.. C., off the field after he was hurt, one of those padded, armored, benosened fellows came striding up to me. be- gan to be seriously alarmed at his bel iigerent appearance, for was wearing a red necl1tie, as usually do, and as that is the Harvard color didn't know but he was going to punch my head.

uffies have again won popular favor and are much used in trimming dresses of all kinds. They are more suitable for silks and nets than for woolens, these latter being naturally rather heavy and bulky. Silk ruffles can, however, be used on wooden dresses, and may be edged with lace or gimp or with narrow jet passementerie.
