Yale Handicapped, but Hopeful.

Perhaps this greatest handicap to the
crew which Yalo is TO send to Henley Is
the fact that IL has no regular coach. The
able and affablc Robert j. CBob) Cook
will spare IL all the time he cHn take from
his business, but that will not be n great
deal. Captain Treadway Is obliged 70 al
ternatc his rowing with coaching, and
that Is big undertaking and so the crew,
unlike the crews of Harvard, Pennsylya-
nih, COiumbfa or CoFn6r1, must worry
along ard do tho best IL can without n
coach.
The English crews selected the first CT
March, have had oil tho advantages of reg
ular coaching and practice ON their own
water, and yet Yalc's material IL so good
that Americans have no fear Of the result,
despite the difficulties that besct the dis.
ciples Of "old Eli."

TO BABY,

Baby, now that night is near,
Stars begin to open clear;
Soft beams from the moon are shed
DER thy golden curly head.
And the wind is hushed in Slumber
In the nest the birds asleep;
on the hill-tops there is silence,
Silence through the valleys deep,
Little hands are in the fold;
Flowers have long since closed their eyes
In the darkness OF the woodland
Bat and owl each seek prize.
Mother sings the quaintest snatches-
Songs composed for thy delight!
IT'S to WOO thee, for the night-god
Claims thy presence for the night.
Softly now the head is dropping,
Twin blue worlds are conquered quite;
Stars are peeping, babys sleeping
Rest thee until mornings light

TOMATO SALAD.-Select ripe, firm
tomatoes of medium size, pare dry
that is, without pouring scalding
water over them-cut a slice from
the stem end, carefully remove the
seeds with teaspoon, pour out the
juice and set on ice. When it is
nearly time to serve, place each to-
mato on crisp, white lettuce leaf
that has also been on ice, taking care
to drain it first, and fill with mayOn-
aise dressing.
A DELICATE DEsERT.-One pint of
sweet cream, with one ounce of gela-
tine dissolved and mixed with it !;
stir in any fruit you choose, but do
not put the juice in; you can save
that for pudding sauce, or to flavor
jelly with; sweeten to your taste,
add a glassful of sweet wine; pour
into a mould, and let it become cold
and hard before serving; serve with
powdered sugar.

it isn't. | know sweet little wo-
man that is awfully lonesome. She
sits and tries to think it all out, but
she can't. She sees her husband
look grum and cross and supposes il
partly her fault and that most men

Still, she can't say that marriage has
been entirely failure with her.
You see, she has little grave away

cemeteries, but, for all that, it's a
mighty lonely little grave. 1t APP

Children's Hair.

Children's hair requires more at
tention than an adults in the way of
cleaning and washing. The best
way to wash child's head is on a
rainy day, for then they have to stay
in the house, and can be easily kept
in a warm room until the hair is
perfectly dry, so as to be free from a
chance of taking cold. The best
shampoon is lather of warm soft
water and pure CASTLE soap, a little
alcohol rubbed into the scalp assists
the drying and is good stimulant
as well for the hair. After washing,
the hair should be allowed to dry
thoroughly before touching the
comb or brush to it.

Good and Bad Husbands.

1t has been profoundly remarked
that the true way of telling a toad
stool from a mushroom is to eat it,
If you die, it was toadstool; if you
live, it was a mushroom. A similar
method is employed in the selection
of husbands Marry him; if he kills
you, he was bad husband; if he
makes you happy, he is good one.
There is really no other criterion.
Some young men that seem uneX-
ceptional, indeed very desirable,
when they are single, are perfectly
horrid as soon as they are married.
All the latent brute there is in the
heart comes out as soon as a sensi-
tive and delicate being seeks her
happiness in his cOmpanionship.
The honeymoon lasts very short
time; the receptions and round of
parties are soon over; and then the
two sit down to make home happy.
If she has a society man, he will
soon begin to get bored; he will
yawn and go to sleep on the sofa.
Then he will take his hat and go
down to the club and see the boys,
and, perhaps, not come home until
morning. If she had married a man
engrossed in business, he will be
tagged out when he comes home.
He may be sickly man that she
must nurse; morose man she must
seek to cheer; a drunken man that
she must sit up for; violent man
that she fears; fool, whom she soon
learns to despise;a vulgar man for
whom she must apologize-in short,
there are thousands of ways of being
bad husbands; and a very few ways
of being good ones. And the worst
of it is that thepoor, silly women are
apt to admire in single men the very
traits that make bad husbands, and
look with contempt and ridicule up
on those quiet virtues which make
home happy. Men with very little
personal beauty or style often make
the wife happy, and sometimes quite
the reverse. The number of ways of
being bad husband is almost as
great as the number of ways of be-
ing ugly. No one can tell from the
demeauor of a single man what sort
of a husband he will be. However,
she must marry somebody.
