HARvARD's PLUCKY GAME.

THE ONLY TOUCHDOWN.
In the first half Harvard, with the ad.
vantage of the wind at their back, kept
the ball in the Indians territory most of
the time. AT last, after a magnificen.
run of forty-five yards and a strong buck
ut the line by Dunlop. he got the ball down
and Harvard scored four points.
Brown failed lniserably at an easy goal
In the second half the Indians furious
onslaughts were well nigh irresiStit:e.
Again and again they ploughed through
Harvard's line. and at last had the ball
only ten yards from the goal line. But
here, in their last trench, the Harvard
boys held with the grip of cable car
and the Indians forfeited the ball on downs,
while shouts went up from the 900 Har-
ward throats. Brown punted the ball out
of danger and the crowd gave a concerted
cry of relief. During the rest of the half

TRULY ALARMING.



covered by London FinancierA
The London Bankers Magazine Is
appalled, by the terrible menace of a
flood of gold" It declares that a
careful review of all the facts bearing
upon the question leads to the con.
clusion that there is mo imaginable
limit to the future output of this
precious metal;" that the immense
pressure of the demand upon the stock
of gold caused by the great CONNER
cial nations has so stimulated produc
ton in every part of the world that
paying mines are becoming more and
more numerous and more prolific every
day.

regard to such an overwhelming accu.
mutation is that we shall not know
what to do with it, how to use it. and
how to make it available as none.

gests that serious disturbances are
likely to result. It is, indeed. a
piteous case. According to the Lon
SO greatly enhanced by the general
adoption of the gold standard as to
prodigiously increase the activity of
the gold miners and the gold hunter;
and now the champions of the gold
standard are aghast at the frightful
results of their own work. The danger
they now see is that gold will become
a ''debased' metal. Another financier,
writing in the London Bankers Mag
azine. declares that there will shortly
be such '.glut of go1d'' as to make it
necessary to limit it's coinage and its
legal tender quality.
We think, howe yer, we can comfort
the perturbed souls of these able finan-
ciers. In the first place, their fears of
a gold flood are grossly exaggerated.
In the second place, certain distin-
guished monetary scientists in this
country have demonstrated that gold
is the one thing whose value is entirely
independent of the law of supply and
demand. Col. Patterson has proven
this quite ingeniously. He has shown
that under free coinage a gold dollar
is always worth just as much as a
gold dollar, never more, never less. No

its value never changes. We have
had these considerations presented for
our own comfort while the gold prices
of commodities were going down and
they ought to be quite as reassuring if
gold prices should take the opposite
turn. What does it matter about
''breaking down existing values" or
prices? They have been breaking
down, 10, these many years; but it is
comforting to think that whether
prices go up or down, the value of gold
IS always the same-when measured in
gold.

SNUFF-DIPPING.

The New Vice of Factory and Shop
Girls.
The popular belief has been that
"snuff-flipping" is confined almost ap-
tirely to the negroes and the poor
whites" down south, but this old-fash-
Toned practice is intinlged in to re-
markable extent in this section of the
country. Within the last two or three
years it has been taken up by shop and
factory girls, and there is hardly a
manufacturing town in New York
state or in the east where the dealers
do not sell hundreds of pounds of Dip
ping snuff weekly.
The girls are using it now in prefer
ence to gum, and those who do not al
ready know the trick are being taught
it by their companions. The old
fashioned snuff that pleasurably it'll
lated the nostrils of our ancestors is
going more and more out of use each
year, and to-day seven-tcnths of the
snuff manufac! ured in America is
snuff for dipping. Approximately
about 10000, O0O pounds come out of
the mill each year. 1t is sold in little
tin cans holding one ounce, or fire.
quently 4 girl prefers to buy it in small
paper packages, which she can carry
about more easily. An ounce costs
five cents. With some girls this guam
tity will hardly last more than a couple
of days.
The dipping" process is simple
one. The old-iashioned method was
to rub the gums with the powdered to-
bacco by means of q stick of soft wood,
whose end haG been chewed into
sort of brush, but the factory girl
pours about half teaspoonful on
card or bit of paper, and. tipping this,
shakes odt the snuff into her mouth
agains. her closed teeth.
The amount of the consumption can
be judged best from the fact that one
dealer in this city sends barrel OF
dipping snuff weekly to dealer in
Troy. The collar and cuff girls of that
city, it is said, have large number OF
snuff-d;ppers among them. Fall River.
Mass, and Lynn are also strongholes
of snuff-dipping, and in fact this
article finds customers in every city
and town along the Atlantic seaboard.
The negro and pobr white trade OF the
south is comparatively small factor
nowadays. There are ten dipping
snuff manufacturers in the country,
the majority Of them in New Jersey,
though Baltimore has two or three
and Philadelphia at least one.-N. Y.

added: ''Gan thee hast finished thy
meal, my dear, get thee to thy room an
fettle it oop bit. Oh 'ull be wi ye
presently"
Grey seized on Elsie's absence as I
good opportunity to finish packing, fol-
he was haunted with painful dread
of arousing her suspicious of his per-
manent departure. feeling sure that a
long farewell would be SO hard for the
dear child-ayc, and for him, too
whereas if his plans did not fail he
would slip away under the pretense OF
going to Chicago on vacation, and be
off without any painful betrayal OF
emotion.
But this was not to be.
The last book was packed, the last

lingering look out of the window at the

by the pine-clad hills, the last All,
what was that?
The door opened and Elsie Whitford
confronted him.

if in a night she had grown into glori'
ors woulanhood. AS she stood there il

scales fell from the eyes of the unhappy
man, and he knew he loved. Oh, how
he longcd to take her in his arms and
tell her all he felt; but, between her
and him was 4 chasm he dared not
cro5s-not yct-but who knew what
the future might bring forth?
She seemed very quiet and self-pos-
scsscd-not q bit the emotion-tosscd
Elsie he had pictured to himself. Look
ing round The room ct his corded boxes,
she said very quietly:
You arc going to leave US for good,
Mr.. Grey. you are not coming back to
Orctown?"
''Yes, Elsie, am going away; you
have guessed rightly"
The words and tone were cheerful,
but she read in his eyes the pain the
parting cost him.
ION account of the trouble you limited
at?" she asked.
YES"
"Iguessed as much. And you thought
to spare me the misery of a long fare

cquanimity. though he had so much
dreaded any ebullition of feeling.
''Good-by, Eisie!"
''Good-by, Mr.. Grey!"
And that was I'll their parting, for
at that moment the prospector drove to
the door in his buggy to take Frank
Grey to the depot.
The prospector's horse was just such
an animal as he might be expected to
