BROWN UNIVERSITY.
Athletics Are Booming and the Young
Men Are Much Interested.

MON ATo muCu IutSFobtSO.
The annual spring meet of the
Brown University mtersc scholastic Athle-
tic Association will be held on Lincoln
Field On May 10. Last year the Friends
School, Providence High School and East
Greenwich Academy were the only
schools which entered large teams at the
meet, but this year an effort is being
made TO arouse interest in the schools in
the vicinity OF Providence. A banner Is
offered by the Athletic Association of
Brown for the school that scores the
greatest number OF points and individual
prizes are offered to the winners of each
contest.
Extensive preparations are being made
for the New York Alumni Association
banquet to be held at DelmoDico tomor-
row night.
Mr.. Francis Lawton, president OF the
association will act as tosstmaster and
President Andrews will be present and
deliver sn address.
A baseball cup has been offered by the
class of 80 to the hest all round baseball
player for this season, Manager Mattesoh
is as yet undecided whether to accept or
not. He fears that II might promote a
tendency to star individual playing,
which always endangers the best team
work.
The freshmen baseball team will play
the M. /. 4. Freshmen next Saturday at
ternoon on Lincoln Field.
The Brown Cadet Battalion has received
an invitation from the First Light lnfan-
try. Regiment to parade in company with
it on May IL. This is the anniversary of
the founding of the regiment and Is
celebrated each year by a street parade.
Last year the Cadet Battalion participated
in the parade and made an excellent
showing. Captain Murray read the for
NAL invitation TO the battalion yesterday
and il, will probably be accepted.
The men who are trying for positions
on the athletic team, have been doing
some hard work during the past week and
MIR. Parker Is much pleased with the in
terest shown by the candidates. Arrange
ments are being made for q training
table to be begun during the early part
Of next week. At present there are So
men trying for the team and as fast as the
men prove themselves worthy they will
be taken to the training table. The differ
ernt class teams are also hard at work for
the spring meet on Lincoln Field.

WOMAN'S
GREATEST
ENEMY.

Laura McHenry, in the LADIES'
Home Journal, says:
The headache par excellence
or rather ad Hbifnm among
women is the "sick headache"
and by that / find is meant a
headache which is attended in
any stage of its action by a
nausea, which increases until
vomiting ensues, when the pa
tents skin becomes naturally
moist again.
And yet every woman can
lessen the number and frequency
of her headaches by assisting
nature by natural means. The
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt, which is
cvaporated from the natural
waters of Carlsbad, taken early
in the morning before breakfast,
and if necessary at bedtime
(about' half a teaspoonful dis
solved in a tumblerful of water),
Will supply these means.
1t is an Alternative and elimina-
tive remedy, which dissolves ten
acious bile, allays irritation, and
removes distractions by aiding
nature, and not by sudden and
excessive irritation, as most ca
thartics do. is of great benefit
in temporary and habitual con-
stipation, liver and kidney dis
eases, chronic catarrh of the
stomach and bowels, rheumatism
and gout, etc, and should be
used early in the morning before
breakfast, specially during the
spring and summer months.

''Ah, but woman's dress is so illogical,
you know, SO contrary to the dictates
of sense and science" said Miss Gray, q
little maliciously. To tell the truth, L
think she was quoting remark of mine
with reasonable accuracy.
"Do you believe that?" asked, rather
feebly, glancing at her over my shout
der. She wore a gown Of some light
thin fabric, and, with the art possessed
by many of her sex, looked daintily COM
Portable IN spite of the outrageous tenn
perature.
''Of course she doesn't" Mrs. Loring
broke in. eff any girl says such thing,
it is because the fashion is not becoming
to her"
A remark So direct, so unqualified,
and SO free from repetitions was a nov
city. 1t centered my attention on the
speaker. who, now noted, was dressed
almost as seasonably as her niece, al
though she favored darker colors.
"Noman's opinion seems TO be weighty
enough to count said I, especially as
the hckers would, no doubt, be the first
to protest if their objections Were
needed and led to rational dress"
''Oh, really, I don't know" said Mrs.
Loring, rising to the opportunity.
Some men are SO persuasive, SO delight
fully persuasive, doctor, they can con-
vince you, or make you think you're
convinced is almost the same
thing, don't you know? And so many
of your profession, doctor-when I
think how great my acquaintance with
them has been, it appalls me, it real y
apPalls me-argue SO beautifully, but
so differently, doctor, so differently.
And very likely it would be the same
thing, the very same thing with them,
if they had to devise national costume
which should be healthy and hygienic
and all the other things it should be
and they say it isn't now, doctor. Now,
I like, yes, really, I must say, I like
variety. You can't imagine how pretty,
how very pretty some of the girls will
look in their fete dresses, as peasants,

picturesque people. It seems a pity,
such pity, that they can't wear them
all the time; though how the poor
things would manage in winter-no,
I'm afraid the short skirts wou1dn' tdo;
do you think they would, doctor? Or

To stranger he would have looked

and his words surprised me. Assured
~ he was no weaker than on the night
when he first came to me. If there
had been any change, it had been an
improvement. The old air of the fu-
gitive had in great part disappeared,
though he still gave one the impression
of continual vigilance.
He described his symptoms with his
habitual deliberateness, closing the ac-
count with a statement that he believed
his heart to be affected seriously, and
that he desired me to examine him at
once.

"Valvular 1 should like consulta-

'Of what advantage" he asked, as

"But it may prolong life" I urged.
Besides, it is only fairness to yourself

He was silent for little, this strange
being, his expression unchanged, his
self-control absolute. When at last he
spoke there was no hint of emotion III

dreaded to hear.

said, quietly; shut in that I think you

said; but he made no comment upon
the hope thus expressed. Soon after,
having given a few directions for his
care of himself. and having promised to
have a prescription for him made up
at once. 1 left him to his thoughts.
What they were could hardly imagine
but hoped that among them was some
shadow of remorse at the remembrance
of the poor devil whom he had suf-
fered to lie helpless for hours almost a:
his door. 1T was fate's irony that OF
these two men the one who then was
