Yale Not Criticised by Harvard.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, July 2.--Harvard
College has closed for the summer vaca-
ton, and none of the members of the ath-
letic teams could be found to-day who were
willing to be quoted relative to the reply
OF Yale to the English universities regard
ing an International athletic meeting. Prof.
Davis is the only member of the Harvard
athletic committee in Cambridge, and he
also refuses to discuss the stand Yale has
taken Harvard men did not anticipate that
Yale would offer to meet the English uni
versities alone, and generally beIieve that
the New Haven men are not strong enough
to make a first-class showing against
team picked from Oxford ana Cambridge.
YaleS proposition to meet the winner of
the Oxford-Cambridge games is in line with
the suggestion OF Harvard that the leading
American college should meet the leader on
the other side. and Harvard men have no
criticisms to make regarding this part of
Yale's reply. The offer TO meet both Ok
ford and Cambridge alone, however, they
believe will make the blue rather unpopular
with the other colleges in the intercollegiate
aSSOcia ton.

Prepared for Life's Battle.

Il suppose you expect your boy to
make great success in life," said the
old friend as they settled down for the
after-dinner cigars.
"Successw exclaimed the host. why,
my dear sir, he can't fail! He has been
educated on the modern plan that guar
antees success"
Education is everything nowadays,
of course"
Nothing like it," asserted the host.
This boy of mine ought to have at least
half a million or so by the time he is
twenty-five. Why, sir, he has as fine
French accent as you ever heard"
French accent" exclaimed the guest
in surprise.
That's it, !" replied the host proudly.
"And his English drawl would deceive
any one. Then, you ought to see the
way he dresses! I tell you that boy
can't fail"
"But his education"
that's what I'm talking about. He
can lead cotillon with the best of them,
and is simply unexcelled at small talk.
I've spared no pains in preparing him
for the battle with the world"
But in what line do you expect him
to shine?"
"The matrimonial line, sir-the only
line in which big fortunes are easily Sc
cured. Can't you see that he would
pass as foreigner anywhere? With
his foreign accent and airs, his ideas of
dress and his knowledge of the dance
he'll capture an heiress in six months or
l miss my guess. Chicago Post.

Many Years Ago.

The corner of Hester and Orchard

the northwest corner is an old-fashioned,
three-story house, with mansard roof.

brick. Rain-washed green shutters
hang loosely from the frames of the lit
old, weather beaten, paneled affair and

and crumbling brownstone steps.
Dozens of washerwomen and scrub
women live near this corner. They
used to sit on the cracked brownstone
steps and talk over the affairs of the
neighborhood, tell each other where it
was easy to get jobs and who gave the
best lunch. At conclave of this kind
one day a scrubwoman, with a red face,
a little black bonnet on the back of her
head and wearing a gingham apron,
spoke up: why in the name of all
that's good do we come here?"
ITO hear the talk of the day, sure, !"

women and the scrubwomen and the
general housework women living around
the corner of Hester and Orchard streets
stand in a row near the crumbling
brownstone steps of the old-fashioned
house waiting for Jobs.

Not Yet Whipped.

A French army surgeon, DR.. Sarazin,
writing of his experiences during the
Eranco-German war mentions two strik-
ing incidents of the disastrous battle of
Fr9schwiller. He was hard at work
among the wounded in the field hospi-
tai. The French forces had been routed
and were in full retreat.
Suddenly the doctor looked up and
saw little French soldier with his
knapsack on his back and his musket in
his hand, walking TRANQUILITY up the
street toward the enemy's position. At
that moment a letter-boX against the
wall caught his eye. He stopped, took
out note book, scribbled a few lines.
folded the leaf, addressed it and dropped
it into the box. Then he looked at the
lock of his musket and alone took up his
march against the German army.
"What became of that brave boy?"
DR.. Sarazin asked. What insensate
courage pushed him thus to the front,
one boy against an army, when $4,000
men were fleeing behind him? To
whom did he confide his last thought?
1 would gladly have saved that letter
but the next morning the box was gone.
The Prussians had carried it away"
Hardly had this boy hero disappeared
when the doctor noticed six miners of
the engineer corps, who came up with
pickaXes to make loopholes in the walls
of the buildings. They were a little
late. There were no longer any men
to put behind the loopholes.
So the miners reasoned. for presently
the doctor saw them conferring to-
gether. Then they put down their
pickaxes, took up some muskets and
cartridges, and. like the boy before
them, they marched against the Ger
man armyI

This Newsboy Was Grateful.

A condition of moral degeneracy is
commonly attributed to newsboys but
there are exceptions.
A physician who recently moved up
town into the eighties took an evening
paper from a small newsboy and dived
into his pocket for the change.
That's all right Doc" remarked the
little chap. 81 won't take no money.
Don't you remember Jimmie you cured
last winter with the feverp"
Then the physician recognized in the
tall and sturdy boy little chap whom
he had pulled through fever without
any payment.
But that's all right, Jimmie" he
said, "and you must certainly let me
pay you for the paper"
NO." said the boy, Il won't. Where
are you living up here, Doc? l want
to come and see you"
He hasn't turned up yet to see the
doctor but every morning and evening
he slips paper under the door and to
have a proper understanding in the be-
ginning with the first paper he scrib-
bled little notice: "Please, Doc, ac-
cept these papers allus, from Jimmie /"

SLANG WORDS AND PHRASES,
The Origin of "Outsider," you're q
Daisy" and "'Too Thin"

Daisy" and "Too Thin
Dun" is word whose meaning is
now known to everyone who under
stands the English language. About
the beginning of the century, says the
Boston Post, constable in England
named John Dun became celebrated as
tirst-class collector of bad accounts.
When others would fail to collect bad
debt, Dun would be sure to get it out
of the debtor. 1t soon passed into a
current phrase that when a person owed
money and did not pay when asked, he
would have to be "Dunned." Hence it
soon became common in such cases to
say: "You will have to dun So-and-so
if you wish to collect your money"
Until the nomination of Franklin
Pierce for the presidency the word
outsider" was unknown. The COM
mittee on credentials came to make its
report and could not get into the hall
because of the crowd of people who
were not members of the convention.
The chairman of the convention asked
if the committee was ready to report,
and the chairman of the committee an
swered: Eyes, Mr.. Chairman, but the
committee is unable to get inside on ac-
count of the crowd and pressure of the
outsiders" The newspaper reporters
took up the word and used it.
you are daisy" is used by Dickens
in David Copperfeld" in the sense of
calling person daisy in the way to
express admiration and at the same
time to laugh at ones credulity. Steer
forth says to young Copperfeld:
David, my daisy, you are SO innocent
of the world. Let me call you my
daisy, as it is so refreshing to find one
in these corrupt days so innocent and
unsophisticated. My dear Coppertield,
the daisies of the field are not fresher
than you"
''Too thin" was given currency by
Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia, in
the United States congress in 1870.
Some members had made reply to
Mr.. Stephens, and the latter had his
chair wheeled out in the aisle, and said
in that shrill, piping voice which always
commanded silence: Mr. Speaker, the
gentleman's arguments are gratuitous
assertions made up of whole cloth-and
cloth, sir, so gauzy and thin that it will
not hold water. 1t is entirely too thin,

The bravest battle that ever was fought
Shall tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you'll find it not;
Twas fought by the mothers of men.
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot,
With sword or nobler pen;
Nay, not with eloquent word or thought
From mouth of wonderful men.

No banner to CLEAN and wave!

terest in the medical work of her father.
DIR. Hammond. She reads much medical
literature and is q thorough going materi-
alist in her views.
"Trilby" has started many American
women to doing what many English
women have long done, that is to looking
at DuMaurier's sketches in Punch with
an eye to his Interpretation of fashions
His pictures are among the finest fashion
plates in the world. He handles the
styles in way that shows what is essenti-
ally aristocratic or beautiful in them, and
what trying and vulgar. 1t is wonderful
in looking over his sketches 20 years old
Ito see how he makes even the awful

ties he draws.
