intercollegiate Hockey.

1t is not at all unlikely that intercol-
legiate sport will be livelier than ever next
winter, for there is now on foot among
college men very energetic movement in
favor OF the recognition of hockey as an
authorized contest game and for the for
nation OF n body to control the playing Of
the game. Such an arrangement would
greatly relieve tho monotony which exists
in the athletic world during tho months
Of January and February and would also
encourage interest In On admirable pas
time.
The Yale students have been practically
assured that the faculty will not object to
having another university team, because
two of Its members arc tho most ardent
admirers of the game and the most skillful
players of the game in the university, and
they frequently join the boys IN n game.
1t has been tho policy of tho faculty and
the managers of the various teams to make
the real benefit OF college athletics more
general and not confined to mere hand
full of men.
In other colleges the feeling seems to run
but one way-that is to say, in favor of
the propositions hence tho plan will un-
doubtcdly be put into execution.

An Admirable Cycling Contest.

The bicycle daily five mile road cup
contest, recently inaugurated by the great
est athletic body in America, the New
York Athletic association, is something
moro than unique. 1t is excellent, both
in it's aim and it's collateral results. The
conditions Of the contest provide for five
mile ride each day between May and
Sept. 13. The member riding the greatest
number of days will receive tho prize
While the terms seem somewhat exacting,
the contestants will not find them to be so
after week or so of punctual and con-
soientious work. The object of tho con-
test is TO develop and encourage constant
road riding and the health and strength
which will be acquired will more than re-
pay tho contestants for the effort required
to attain the habit OF regularity which is
necessary in order to get the greatest ben
efits from this paragon Of recreations.

American Whist League Convention.

The sixth annual convention OF the
American Whist league. which is TO DO
held at Manhattan Beach, New York,
commencing June 90, will probably DO n
very interesting event Mr.. Robert H.
Wcems, the corresponding secretary of tho
league, aided by his able corps of assist
ants, has completed tho programme for
the occasion, and 1t is q most excellent ono.
Nine general contests have been planned
for the meeting, each Of them open to all
members of the league. Play for the Ham
ilton club trophy for the championship of
America will begin on Tuesday afternoon,
June 30. The Hyde Park club of Chicago,
which now holds the cup, will enter its
strongest team and make desperate effort
to retain the title 1t now holds. The play
ing for the Hamilton cup will be contin-
ued throughout the week, afternoon and
evening. The programme will include
various individual and team contests, con-
Guiding with the struggle for the Ameri-
can Whist league cup.

In very few weeks tho yachting season
Of 1896 will be opened, and, from present
appearances, 1t will BIO ono of tho liveliest
ever seen in American waters. Tho De-
fender Vnlkyrio fiasco of last year, which
1t was thought would give yachting u ma
terial baokset for somo time to como, has
apparently had directly opposite effect.
Tho clubs have selected thor officers for
the ensuing year, and the regatta commit
tees are busy arranging special features for
the boat owners.
The little half raters which did so much
to keep up tho interest in yacht racing last
year will play prominent part In this
years sport.
The cold and otherwise unpropitious
weather which has initiated against
yachtsmen In various parts of tho country
during the past month, has given way,
and now that moro favorable conditions
prevail the activity among the yachting
fraternity Is pleasant to see. Many of the
smaller boats are already In commission,
and hundreds Of others arc on tho ways
and ready for launching.

Yale and Her Football Coaches.

The recent fruitless effort of Mr.. E. T.
Rollins of Columbia, Mo-, TO secure the
services of Captain Thorne Of tho Yale
football team as coach for the Missouri
university team next year Is fairly con-
vincing proof that there will be no moro
Yale coaching Of outside teams. Accord
Ing to Captain Thornes statement to Mr..
Rollins, the alumni of Yale have reached
the conclusion that the Yale system should
be retained for the benefit of Yale, and
hereafter the coaching OF outside colleges
by Yale men will be djscountenanced. 1t
would seem, therefore, that Yale Is begin
ming TO realize that her supremacy on the
gridiron is threatened to some extent by
the increasing strength of the teams Of
smaller colleges; hence her reserve in tho
matter of coaching

To submit to an operation, is to volun-
tarily endanger ones life, without the
slightest hope of being benefited.
Mr.. William Walpole, is a wealthy
planter residing at Walshtown, South
Dakota, and is we'll known all over the
state. Under date of January goth, 1896,
he writes; "About threeyears ago, there
came under my left eye little blotch
about the size of small pea. It grew
rapidly, and for the past year, shooting
pains ran in every direction. became
alarmed and consulted a good doctor,
who pronounced it cancer, and said that
it must be cut out. This would not
consent to, having little faith in the in
discriminate use of the knife, though I
was alarmed at my condition. Reading
of the many cures made by S.S.S., /
determined to give that medicine trial,
and after had taken it few days, the
cancer became irritated and began to dis
charge. This after awhile ceased, leaving
small scab, which finally dropped off,
and only a healthy looking little
scar remained to mark the place where
the destroyer had held full sway Words
are inadequate to express my gratitude to
the great blood purifier, S. S. S., and I
write this hoping that itmay bethemeans

means of curing it is to rid the blood Of

this, but it is the only remedy to be re-
lied upon. It is guaranteed purely

Eczema, Catarrh, Rheumatism and any
other disease of the blood. Other blood
diseases often develop into such alarm,
ing conditions that the doctors think all
operation necessary. Scrofua, for in

neck to such an extent that an operation
is looked upon as absolutely the only
relief. This is also grave error, as the
disease is in the blood and real blood

Too
Much Knife !

The use of the surgeons knife is be-
coming so general, resulting fatally
i'll such large number of cases, as to
occasion general alarm. The press all
most daily announces the death of some
unfortunate whose system could not
withstand the shock of an operation,
and whose life was cruelty sacrificed to
the keen blade of the surgeon. =
OF course, in some instances an
operation is necessary, and is the
only means of saving life, but such cases
are exceedingly rare. So many deaths
occur under these conditions, however,
that the public is beginning to realize
that the doctors are too hasty in resort
ing TO the knife, and if such a state of
affairs continues, there will before long
be a general uprising against such meas
ures. 1t is but reasonable to believe
that the majority of operations are
unnecessary, but when the fatal mistake
is discovered too late, only the doctors
ever know of their error, and though a
precious life is given up, the public is
assured that death would have resulted
in spite of the operation, and who is
ever the wiserr n,
The folly of resorting to the knife in
cases of cancer, is demonstrated every
time it is undertaken. The disease IS
in the blood and the cancer or sore is
but the outward manifestation of
terrible condition of the entire circula-
ton. To cut out this sore, therefore,
does not in any way effect the disease,
and it can easily be seen that the only
correct treatment is to get at the seat of
the disease, and purify the blood; the
sore will then heal up naturally. S.S.S.
is the most powerful blood remedy made.
and is the only cure for cancer.
