what a queer happening it would be if, in the course of human and a+b-
 ietlc events, the very thing that the prevalence of athletics in the big schools
 has been supposed to be warning
 against should finally prevail through
 the direct agency of that which was
 expected to defeat it. For some time
 there have been wailing and gnashine
 Of teeth over the decay of education
 In our universities. That decay has
 been especially walled and gnashed
 over as it has shown itself in the ina
 b1lity of the students of athletics to
 speak and write their own language
 well. But good sized ray of hone has
 apeared, and it may be that there will
 be another and another until the full-orbed sun of hope will be brightly shlnlnG on those who have been in gloom. At any rate the situation is en- couraging. Instead of a gory football contest between Harvard and Yale most elaborate literary contest is now going on. Those who take part in if cannot fail to get valuable training in the use of words and the proper ar- raying of ideas. It is all very educat- ing, and the longer it lasts the better We hope the number of those who take part in it will increase until at least all the Seniors in both universities are talking and writing as fast and as well as they can. And if they find by and by that football has been slain while writing and speaking have been fully resunrected they may be reconciled and see that they and their schools have not had a fatal loss.
 And it is extremely interesting to notice that while university athletes nave been impelled to write and sneak by their force and fierceness the great orize-fghters of the day have also .aken to writing and speaking. It is wonderful how the Lord causes the wrath of man to praise Him and it is wonderful how university athletics and seem to be becoming | ruly educa tionaI.

FASHION NOTES.
4 "Fichu Cane.N

Sealskin and sable will, of course, be the furs this winter, but many folks will have too much sense to put from two hundred and fifty to a thousand dollars in fur so perishabIe as seal, and great many garments are shown lined with fur and finished with rich collars, facings and cuffs. This is far better than a cape of cheap fur, and $ Just as warm. Capes are seen lined with squirrel and finished with hand some fur collar and front. These are as warm as fur cape and a good deal handsomer and better form than a cape made of cheap fur outside. Lovely White Persian lamb is being made up into delicious winter capes with very high collars.

disinterested commission to examine
 and report to congress from time to
 time the effect of existing tariff laws, and in what manner these might be changed or amended in order to i'm prove the welfare of all of the business
 interests of the country. It is added
 that sudden changes in the tariff, either
 in the way of reduction or an advance
 in duties, are seriously detrimental to
 legitimate business interests, thus mak-
 ing the method of change suggested by the resolution one greatly to be desired. This Associated Board of Trade the representative, through delegated mem- bership, of some three thousand or more business houses of Boston, is the lead ing and authoritative vehicle by means of which an expression of the wishes of the merchants, manufacturers and deal CTS of Boston can best be ob- tained. What the political sen timents of the committee were to whom this resolution was originally committed and who after several months of delay, reported it to the meeting is not stated. The motion to have the resolution adopted and to have copies of it sent to the senators and representatives in congress from the State of Massachusetts was made by member who is at the same time one of the most prominent Republicans and one of the leading commission mer- chants of Boston,
 There is no doubt that a competent and an honest tariff commission is need ed. Until one can be had it will be well to give the Republicans the hand ling of the tariff. The Democrats have made a bad mess in their efforts to deal with it so as to help their party.

To-day the people of this city will be
 again called upon to help some of those
 whose unfortunate situation entities
 them to the compassion and the help of those more happily placed. The re- sponse to the call will, of course, be ss generous as usual. Giving to the or phans is an exercise of generosity and good will which can be engaged in with out doubts or misgivings concerning it's effects. It is well known that there is urgent need of what is given, that it is very judiciously and economically used and that is does not like some giving, tend to increase the number of the un- worthy poor. On the contrary it goes to help make the orphans good and use ful members of society, and to enable them to repay the community for what is kindly done for them. Therefore, when the collectors call upon you to- day open your hearts and your pocket books, and don't close them until both are lighter. And bear in mind the words of the preacher who said. "ua that giveth to the poor lendeth to rhe Lord. If you like the security down with your dust"

Speaking of the aversion of the
 French to anything bearing any re-
 semblance to a monopoly. and of the
 industrial commission which has just
 been sent out to China by Lyons, the Paris correspondent of London news paper writes: All such concessions are looked upon in France as monopolies and monopoly is q particularly odious
 word in this country. Envious small
 traders express their indignation effec"
 lively through influential deputies, who
 harass the ministry, both in public and
 private, by interpellations in the Cham
 Der or by direct appeals in the bureaus. Newspapers are paid to criticise day after day every act of the hated com- pany or the luckless monopolist. The result of all this is that the practical business men of France simply dare not place their money out at such a risk M. Tharel, M. verdier, NJ. de Lanessan, and a host of others are ob- ject lessons only to significant. It was an extraordinary and unprecedented thing that the Lyons Chamber of Com merce actually succeeded in obtaining money enough to send out the commer- cial mission to China which left Mar seilles last week. It is hard to decide whether to admire their patriotic faith in the ultimate education of their coun- try in colonial matters or to commiser- ate them for their stupendous simpli- city,

MT. Clark, the thread manufactures. of Newark, New Jersey, found that q majority of his one thousand young wo- men brought their lunches, ate pie, houghnuts and other unwholesome food and this was running the health of many of them. MT. Clark has determined. Therefore, to abolish pie and doughnuts by substituting something better. He proposes to start restaurant for his employees alone in which good food properly cooked, will be furnished at cost, and has engaged Boston woman. an expert in such matters, to take charge of the business. The food SUD- piled will consist of soups, stews roast meats, baked beans, vegetables and good bread and butter, all prepared on scientific and hygienic principles. The enterprise is not charity MT. Clark expects to get better service out of his employees because of the better food they eat. The scheme looks good, but perhaps the girls will continue to wact pie, doughnuts and other unwholesoma food.

His fastidiousness amused the people at the table, but the scientist re- buked them for their levity and dis coursed at length on the dangers in mcrobes and animalcuIae.
