FAIR IND WIsE HARYARD.

There Is a tide in the affairs of uni
 versailles which taken at it's flood leads
 on to fortune. Yale has taken the tide
 of athletics at it's flood and is prohting
 much by her grip and sagacity. She
 is better and more attractively ad-
 vertised than any other university In
 the country. She has the most efficient
 bands of athletes, and she Is everywhere
 known as the foremost eneourager and cultivator of the manly arts. This 1 is paying her well. What success is
 hers is vividly shown by the action which has just been taken at Harvard | against one of the manly arts. and in | flavor of the namby pamby things
 known as the Arts and Sciences. It is l evident that Harvard realizes that she
 cannot afford to longer finger in the
 wake of Yale, and that if she means to amount to anything she must have something that will distinguish her. So at a meeting of her faculty of Arts and Sciences Tuesday a vote was passed
 expressing the opinion of that body that the athletic committee of the uni- versity should put an end to intercol- 1egiate football. It Is probable that there will be some kicking over this football matter. It is said that some undergraduates question whether the faculty of Arts and Sciences can really control the action of committee not composed of members of the faculty, but the corporation and overseers, In establishing and defining the powers of the committee. made it subject to the authority of the faculty of Arts and Sciences" There is therefore little doubt that the vote of the faculty is practically an instruction to a commit tee under it's authority.
 Of course Harvard cannot expect to become as famous through devotion to the Arts and Sciences as Yale has be- come through devotion to the manly

Buying "Gums" in Philadelphia.

lNioll Lnc I AllhdNlphiu ASS9sl
 Englishmen and Americans frequent. ly differ greatly in the names they have for the same object. A well-known ar tist came to this city from London, and, after becoming settled, went out to buy some artists materials. He went to stationery store. and after purchasing several things. said:
 "By-the-way, do you keep gums2"
 The saleswoman smiled,
 NO, indeed" said she, "but I think you can get them next door,"
 The artist thought it was peculiar that he could not get what he wanted at stationers, but thought perhaps it was American, So he went next door and found 1t was shoe store
 "A funny place to keep gums" quoth he, but in he walked and asked for gums.
 What size do you wear" said the woman who met him. That fioored him.
 What on earth has that got to do with it?" thought he, but he discovered that he wore sevens. Soon the woman appeared, carrying a pair of overshoes.
 will these suit you?" she said to the surprised Englishman.
 T don't want those, I want gums something to stick with. It comes in a bottle"
 "Oh, you mean mucilage" said the girl, radiantly, You can get that at any stationer's."

Badness and Indigestion.

The cause of badness is a question
 which has a personal interest for many
 people in these days when the "new
 man" finds it almost as difficult to keep
 his hair as the new woman" does to
 find husband The theory of the
 bald-headed man generally is that his
 exceptionally active brain has used up
 the blood supply which should have
 nourished his scalp; but those whose
 crop of hair still stands untouched by the scythe of time unkindly hint that
 this explanation is of piece with Fall
 staff's excuse that he had lost his voice by singing of anthems" Then there Is the theory of the hat, which we are
 told makes for sanitary unrighteous- ness in two ways-allowing no ventila- ton, and by it's hard rim cutting off part of the blood supply from the scalp. Again, there is seborrhoea, which prepares the way for fungi that blight the hair.
 It would have been wonderful if that pathological scapegoat, indigestion, had not had this particular misdeed laid to It's charge. We are not surprised, therefore, to read in an American con- temporary that dyspepsia is the great cause of badness. This is how the mis- chief is done: Nature" we are as- sured, Ifs very careful to guard and protect and supply the vital organs with the proper amount of nutriment; but when she cannot command a suffi- cient quantity of blood supply for all the organs, naturally she cuts off the supply of parts the least vital, like the hair and nails''-iust as one of our splendid paupers" discontinued his subscription to a. hospital in view of the death duties. The hair in fact, dies that the nobler parts may live up to a proper standard of physiological effl- ciency. The best way to escape bald ness is therefore to be careful in our diet, and above all to avoid irregularity in meals--a counsel of perfection which the busy man too often finds it impossi- ble to follow.
 We are not prepared to deny that in- digestion may have something to do with badness, but the part 1t plays is probably altogether secondary. We know of no evidence that bald-headed men are more dyspeptic than their neghbors, and women who suffer much chiefly through their own fault--from digestive troubles are very seldom bald. The increasing prevalence of badness might, with at least as much plausibili- ty, be ascribed to the general better ment in our social condition that is talk ing place The late Prince Consort (who himself lost his hair early) held that badness issa sign of breeding; he- reality, therefore, rather than indiges- tion, would account for it's frequency in the upper ranks of society. On the oth- ar hand, hairiness and anarchism often go together, as if the bomb-throwing had determined to throw | off even the mild tyranny of the barber | with other forms of government.-Brit sh Medical Journal.

ATrAR OF ROSES.

SIX Billion Damask Buds Gathered Every Year to Make It. | [London Public oplnion.l Since the emancipation of the Balkan Provinces the manufacture of altar of roses has become great industry in Bulgaria, and has been taken up on a large scale in Germany. We have all been accustomed to connect the fabri- cation of altar of roses with Persia and Syria, and even now India and Con- stantinople furnish probably the largest markets for it; but, although the art of making 1t was discovered in Persia, the manufacture has now nearly or quite died out and the center of the business is now the country about Kazanlik, on the south slope of the Balkans, close to the Shipka, or Wild Rose Pass, famous in the history of the Russo-Turkish war.
 The growing belt is situated at an average altitude of one thousand feet above the sea, and extends to length of about seventy miles, with an average breadth of ten miles. On this ground are produced annually from five to six billion rose blossoms.
 The number of varieties cultivated is very small. Ninety per cent. of all the blossoms are taken from a bushy varie- ty of the Rosa Damascena or damask rose, known to our gardeners mainly as the ancestor from which the infinite va riety of hybrid perpetual roses derive a large part of their blood. Of the re- maining ten per cent. a part are gath cred from the white musk rose, which is frequently planted as a. hedge around the fields of pink Damascena while the rest are furnished by a dark-red varie- ty of Damascena, Other sorts of roses have been tried, but some yield no at tar at all, and others give an essence having the perfume of violets, or pineapples, or hyacinth, rather than of roses.

AN INTERESTING BILL.

A great many bills were introduced in the Connecticut legislature Tuesday. Some of them were introduced by re- quest. Among them was one prepared at request of many victims by J. c. Par sons, Hartford, Connecticut" This bill makes it unlawful to print in any news- paper or other publication an account of any family gathering, festivity or celebration, without the consent of the host or hostess, or any win or inven- tory of any estate without the consent of executor or administrator, or any cut or drawing purporting to be like ness of an individual without the con sent of such person, if living, or if dead of his legal representatives. A penalty of $100 or Imprisonment in the county jail for not less than ten days is pro- vided.
 This is an interesting bill-almost as interesting as the baby bill of Brother Clark, We have heartily favored the passage of the baby bill, and we feel inclined to support this bill. It might look at first glance as if this bill were designed to greatly curtail the freedom of the press, and it surely would do something in that line. But the people would still be able to get most of the news. The consent of the host or host ess" connected with most social affairs could easily be obtained. The trouble now is in most cases to satisfy the host or the hostess by publishing enough about their fandangoes. Executors and administrators are usually reasonable with reporters, and the proposed law wouldn't entirely change their natures. | So the general public wouldn't be much | injured by the law in being deprived of | news. and many victims" would be

 The long journey from Jiddah to Mecca was performed on asses in a single day. Although the heat was great, M. Courtellemont kept the law in all it's rigor and travelled with his head shaved and uncovered. This was in or der to disarm suspicion. Many of the faithful however, made no scruple about keeping on their turbans. On more than one occasion M. Courtelle- mont nearly compromised himself in consequence of his excessive thirst, the Arab custom being to refrain from drinking until the meal is ended. On entering Mecca it was with difficulty that he avoided treading upon the my riads of sacred pigeons which swarm about the streets. He walked around the sacred Kaabe (cuhe) seven times, kissed the Black Stone, and drank of the spring zemzem, at which Hagaar is supposed to have quenched her thirst. Legend says that it is impossible for any Christian to drink the water of zemzem. Burton set it down as being anything but medicinal. M Courtelle- mont declares that he liked it.

 Looking well ahead, 1t wiN be seen that picture hats will be the rage in early spring. After all, what can be more becoming than an enormous hat when the weather permits the discard ing of any outer covering, and the deli cate, unmuffled lines of the figure seem emphasized by the spreading droop of big headgear. A runor of what is to come even later, tells of velvet hats of the saune big size trimmed with thread lace and gauge According ito the mil linery prophets, this is one of the inno- vations we may expect. They assert that it is because the velvet hat has proved SO becoming that Dame Fashion refuses to give it up merely because the season happens to change a little. But summer is a good ways off, and when it comes it may prove that these proph- ecies were made by velvet manufactur- CTS. FLORETTE.

 Judge Sage of the United States Dis krict court of Ohio, has declared to- be constitutional the law under which a man named Blackburn, convicted as a habitual criminal, has been sentenced to life imprisonment If the law, seem- inEly harsh, is ever to be enforced, the case of Blackburn would seem to be as strong as any that could be found. He was sentenced over third of a century ago to ten years Imprisonment for safe blowing, but was pardoned. In 1866 he was again sent to the penitentiary for ten years for robbery. Seven years lat CT he was released upon technical grounds. In 1875 he was sentenced to a term of seven years for robbery, but es- capped in less than two years, In 1877 he was sentenced to a five years term and a similar sentence was passed in 1885. He was next charged in 1890 with murder and robbery, and on conviction of the robbery was sentenced to term of ten years imprisonment, which he is now serving.

A correspondent of the New York Her. aid tells a remarkable story about the condition of the boats of a steamer on which he was passenger. The captain decided to have the boats swung out over the side. It appeared, says this messenger, that not one of them could he moved. "The tackles apparently were all right, but the checks under the boats were cemented to the deck with the many coats of paint that they had had, the keels of the boats were glued to the checks and the iron davits were so, securely set with paint and rust that they could not be turned outboard at all, and it took the crew four days with the help of jacldscrews to loosen and raise them so that it might be possible to lower away the boats" The corre- spondent, adds suggestion that if pas sengers before sailing would insist on seeing the boats swung out they would be safer. Of course the passengers can not do this, but there is an authority that can, and the requirement would be a reasonable one.
