RUNNING-FOR BOYS.

Every Boy Can Become Runner if lie
Tries.
Every American boy should learn to
run. In Greece, in the days when men
and women took better care Of their
bodies than they ever have since, every
boy, and girl, too, was taught to run,
just as the American child is taught to
read. And as far as we can judge by
the statues they have left behind them,
there were very few hollowchested,
spindle-legged boys among the Greeks
The Persian boy was taught to speak
the truth, run, ride and shoot the bow.
The English boy is encouraged to run.
In fact, at some of the great English
public schools, boys of thirteen and
fourteen years of age, like Tom Brown
and East at Rugby, can cover six and
eight miles cross-country in the great
hare-and-hound runs. Every boy is
turned out twice a week, out of doors,
and made to run, and fill himself full of
pure fresh air and sunshine, and gain
more strength and life than any amount
of weght-pulling or dumb-bell work
in stuffy gymnasiums would give him.
See the result-the English boys, as a
whole, are a stronger set than we
American boys. Every English school
boy is to some extent an athlete. And
that is what American boys should lie.
Not because football baseball and ten
mis- are valuable in themselves, but for
the good they do in strengthening boys
bodies.
BY playing ball every day for hours
In the open air; by exercising his arms,
back and leg muscles in throwing, bat
ting, running and sliding; by going ia
bed early and giving up all bad habits
in preparation for the games, boy
stores up strength, which he can draw
on all his life long-that is why every
boy should be an athlete. But not
every boy can play football or baseball.
He may not be heavy or strong enough;
ne may never be able to acquire the
knack of catching or batting the ball.
Every boy can become q runner.-St.
Nicholas.

GoosEBERRY VINEGAR. /,

This will be found an excellent
preparation, superior to much that is
sold under the name of the best white
willie vinegar. Gather the gooseber-
ries when green, but we'll grown, and
mash IN n tub; to two pecks of goose
berries add six gallons of water, made
lukewarm. Allow this to stand TWEEN
ty-four hours, strain through a sieve
and add to the above proportion
twelve pounds coarse brown sugar.
These proportions are for q nine-gal-
lon cask, and if not quite full add
more water. Let the mixture be
stirred from the bottom of the ca'k
for four or five days to assist in melt
ing the sugar; then paste thin piece
of cloth over the bunghole, and set the
cask IN warm place but not in the
sun. The following spring it should
be drawn off into bottles, as the vine
gar is fit for use twelve mouths after
It is made. Made this year it can be
used next spring. Many years ex'
perience has proved that pickles made
with this vinegar will keep, when
bought vinegar will not preserve the
ingredients. The cost per gallon Is
merely nominal, especially to those
who grow their own berries. The cask
should be cleansed thoroughly before
using and no barrel which has con-
tanned fish should be used. A fish
barrel can never be used for any other
purpose, as it is impossible to expel
the taste and odor If the barrel is
musty, repeatedly scalding with hot
strong lye will sweeten it. Wash well
with clean water. New England

nfade Good His Statement

In his class at Yale, says DR.. Snipe,
was a student who climbed street lamp
costs and removed street signs for his
room ornamentatiOn. The chief of po-
lice at New Haven happened by acct
dent one day to see the signs in his
7oom. and after informing him that the
fine for thus removing such articles
was So per sign, inquired how many he
had. The youth replied, "FOrty." The
chief said if he would return them the
mischief would be overlooked. On
hunting up the signs the student discov-
cred that he had but thirty-two, and
that night he stole eight more in order
to return, as he did next day, precisely
forty signs.

You can remove paint from cloth

The chloroform is Lot infsmmable,

SIX COMPANIES DISAGREE.
Fight Within Powerful Cheness 0rganiza-
tion and It's Results

@~NS~~N'
A despatch from San Francisco, says: The
facionaI fl sht that has been going on for
some time In Chinatown between the See
Yup and the Sam Yuo families has eliminated
in the disruption of the Six Companies, the
most powerful organiz cation every instituted
by the Chinese In this country.
Ali the efforts of Consul-General Ii Yung
Yew and other prominent Chinese to bring
about a settlement OF the differences has re-
suited In failure, and the Chinese minister at
Washington has announced his intention o.
coming to San Francisco and trying bis pow
ers as peacemaker. The secession OF the
See Yups fr m the Six Companies leaves the
latter with the small end of the organization
and deple ed treasury. The boycott started
by the See Yups has nearly ruined the Sam
Yup merchants, and If not ended soon 1t will
cause the retirement from business OF large
number of firms. The boycott Is not conHned
to this city, but is being extended to every
place in the United States where Chinese re-
side in any number.
This state OF affairs has BEN teegraphed to
the minister A few days ago he informed
the Chinese officials that unless the boycott
was declared off within twelve days from the
date Of the telegram he would come to San
Francisco and take hand in the con.ro-
versy. This is understood to mean that 4, me
of the leaders in the warfare may expect TO
have their heads CHI opped off whenever they
return to China unless they comply with the
commands of the minister.
