COMMENTS on THE SELECTION OF THE COL

The committee composed of Professor II. g.

Athletic Club Saturday evening and decided
that the four-cornerei college regatta would be

three courses TO pick from. II Is understood
that Harvard favored the Springfield course. Cor
nell the Saratoga course, and Columbia and the
University of Pennsylvania the Poughkeepsie
matter however. and the course chosen by the
committee will now undoubtedly be acceptable TO
The main objection to the Poughkeepse course
has been the interference made By CART plying
up and down the Hudson. But, as reported In yes

make n sudden independent dash be-
tween the two wheels OF the cycle that
bore the man, and next instant there
was an indistinguIshable mass COM
posed Of three cycles. one thief and
several ear-piercing yells, rolling down
to the foot of the bill.
A friend of mine who cycles, told me
a most involved story of a cycle theft
that am not sure quite understand.
He said he was at a country bar at
which stood five men--strangers to
him, and apparently strangers to each
other; In fact 1t turned out that no one
OF them had ever before met any of the
others. When the teller of the story,
who was the second man out, looked
for his machine, he saw that 1t was
gone, and be noticed the first man out
rapidly sprinting down the road with
1t. 1t was no time for protracted con-
versation or explanations, so my friend
Immediately spraDg on the best re-

suit The next fellow who came out
saw his machine tearing down the road
with stranger on top Of ii, and away
he goes on the fourth mans machine.

nn.ty Carpets.

To those who know the true inward.
ness of things the sight Of housemaid
brushing a dusty carpet is suggestive,
n medical contemporary says, OF many
evils. The death OF Pasteur has re-
minded the world of what is con-
stantly present in the minds of med
ical men. namely, that. while micro
organisms are the great producers OF
disease, dust is the great carrier OF
micro-organisms. Now that we know
these things, now that we understand
that In the quiet hours Of the night the
germ-laden dust settles down upon the
floor, 1t Is distressing TO find how little
our knowledge is put to practical use,
and TO see old customs still unchanged,
old habits, which we know to be de-
structiye, carried on, and to find the
housemaid ON her knees, with her
brush and dustpan, stirring up dust to
the detriment of every one, and breath
ing germ-laden particles to her own
possible destruction.
Ii needs but small amount of COM
mon sense to see that, IL the carpets
must continues thing greatly to be
deprecated-they should be rubbed
with damp cloth rather than
brushed: and that, IL, In Difference to
prejudice, they must be brushed, this
should be done by covered American
sweeper, with plenty of damp tea
leaves. or all ways of removing dirt
from a carpet, the worst is by the use
of the ordinary short brush, which in.

and IL 1t is impossible to teach the
present generation the evils of seeking
present comfort at the expense OF
future risks, at least let us remember
that carpets may be washed ever
where they iie--that, till the day OF
washing comes, a closed sweeper is far
better than brush, and that the wors
form OF brush is one with a shor'

In less time than Ii takes TO tell what
] thoroughly believe to be a fabrica-
tlon, the whole six were chasing each
other, making the terrified inhabitants
of that part of the country believe
there was a road race on. 1t turned
out, so my friend says. that no bicycle
was stolen at all. AS understand the
situation, the first man merely made
mistake and mounted the wrong bicy-
Gle, leaving his own machine in place
OF the one he took. 1t seems to me
this is a most unlikely thing to have
happened. Anyhow, that is the story
as 1t was told TO me.
There is one man name at present
UNKNOWN who Is having a rafting
good time stealing bicycles, and who is
seeing a good deal of the country. He
does not seem to be In the profession
for profit. SO perhaps he is merely
learning The trade. He resembles one
OF those distant planets. invisible even
TO the most powerful telescope, only
known TO exist by its effects on other
heavenly bodies. This perambulating
thief takes a bike wherever he finds 1t
and joys along TO tavern anywhere
from twenty TO fifty miles away from
the stealing point. Here he fares
sumptuously. and drinks the best
champagne, IL there is any. He leaves
the bicycle In charge of the innkeeper,
especially impressing upon him that il
| is a most valuable instrument, and
that he wouldn't have anything happen
to IL for a small fortune. Then he
goes for stroll round the village leav-
| ing his bill unpaid. but the innkeeper
/ feels no anxiety as he has In his pos
session this most valuable bike. The
thief meanwhile has picked up another
machine and is on into the next
county. There he will stay all night,
and In the morning make Off with a
third machine. When anyone who is
robbed finds his machine uninjured In
the hands OF an innkeeper, he is
usually so overjoyed at its recovery
that he gladly pays the hotel bill and
takes away his machine. The amount
/ is so comparatively small that he
rarely gives the case into the hands OF
! the police or bothers any more about 1t.
/ Thus the thief travels unmolested from
one end of the country to the other,
and back again by another route, far-
ing sumptuously every day on the Tat
OF the land without paying a penny
for board and lodging or for transport
either. The plan has much to recom-
mend II, and we cordially commend 1t
TO the attention of amateurs in the
gentle art of robbery.-Detroit Free
