Athletics at Brvu Mawr.

Bryn Mawr is keeping up with the
other women's colleges as far as ath-
letics are concerned. The Philadelphia
Ledger says that Frederick Law Ohm
sted is now at work upon plans for the
grounds. These provide for circular BIZ
cycle track with four laps to the mile.
and within this is large space for ten
mis-, basket ball and other sports. This
Will be SO arranged that in winter time 1t
can be flooded and provide fine skating
pond for the students. These grounds
are kept in order by an athletic associa-
ton of the undergraduates, who manage
such affairs in much the same fashion as
they are looked after at mems colleges.

Cost Of /. Dsa,tante's outas,

The pretty debu.ante, the object Of
the admiration of all eyes at her first
seasons functions, occasionally ELECTS
more than a passing thought of the
beauty and brilliance OF her appearance.
To the fond mamma, with daughter or
SO of her own coming on, she is matter
of some speculation as to the cost of her
production. 1t is matter of stern fact
that the debutante S first season is usual
ly rather an expensive affair, and the
sums spent on the bud, even by those who
are not in the least destinations in their
display of wealth, are frequently be-
yond belief.
Here was q case in point, the fact
given by the mother of the debutante,
who, though not a Vanderbilt or q
Gould, gave her daughter very fair
send off and started her in the social
whirl with az much eclat as any we'll
minded ordinary girl could expect.
The arrangement of a complete outfit
at the very beginning is q matter of
paramount importance. 1t saves trouble
with modistes in busy times and gives
opportunity for the selection of modes
and materials the very latest. In the
case of the debutante the outfit consist.

Queen Mary's kindness took very

had great fear of uncovering his

cordingly he pctitioned Queen Mary for
leave TO wear his nightcap in her royal
presence. Her majesty. in her album

perhaps unique in royal annals. Know

new il makes you want to know why
Il was never thought of before.
The riding car for the horses con-
sists of platform mounted on small
wheels protected at the sides by n
sufficiently high railing, while the front
and rear are provided with gates. These
permit the horse 10 get on and of the
car without backing.
When the regular passenger car has
been drawn 10 the top of the long ns-
cent, the "horse car" is hooked to the
forward end. the horses are driver
aboard, and by n few deft turns of the
brake, the descent is made safely.
At first the horses showed some hcsi-
tniion about embarldng on what APP
pcarcd TO be n perilous adventure. But
they soon became accustomed TO IL, and
are said 10 even enjoy the experience,
expressing their pleasure by broad
smiles and prolonged whinnies.
There is no reason why this plan
should not be adopted with profit else
where. There are many car lines WHICH
run for almost their entire length on
more or less steep inclines. The addi-
tional force required 10 be exertcd in
drawing n car up hill Is turned into n
iropelling force when the car begins
the descent. This force might we'll be
employed in giving the horses a ride,
and thus saving wear and tear on their
feet.
II might be supposed that the addi-
tional pull impaired TO this human pas-
senger car, when on the down grade,

Is not the ease. 10 is only necessary 60

Here is street car for the accom-

Is now in operation IN Denver, and il is

BY the introduction OF cable and cleo

much OF late to relieve the Affections OF
the equine race. But this latest move,
that of taking the horse up off the
ground and placing him on board a car
so that he may have a ride just like the
other passengers is q radical departure
indeed.
II must he confessed, however. that
these free rides are given in spirit of
thrift. The managers of the road find
that by this means they save wear and

A country L.rend

Once In the maple-sugar days of
spring farmer sent his Celtic hired
man down into the sap bush as ambas-
sador, with full power to ascertain and
report how the sap was running. Ac-
cordingly the Celtic hired man. who
was an Irishman, went down into the
snip bush. Into each maple-tree was
driven an iron spile, and out through
the hollow shell of this ran the sap,
falling drop by drop and sudden gushes
into the pals set beneath.
"Cliclx, slop, the sugar-maple drips,"
says the poet
Now from some maple-trces the sap
will run more copiously than from 9TH
ers, and whether this is because the
first answer more joyously TO the call
of spring, or because the last are more
scrupuious about entering into d con
spiracy with the farmer 20 produce fine
Vermont sugar while growing in Ohio,
the naturalists and the moralists dis
agree; but however this may be, the
trees differ widely In their rate Of flow.
and so the Irishman found H.

The mother was soon about calling her

But on Sunday came the tragic end

Some Of the people who live IN the
edge OF the Maine woods have been
betwixt the "dcvil and the deep sea-
as the phrase Is, with the game law on
one side of them and the disponiti n
OF the protected animals to be neigh
borly on the other Said a woman In
the Piscatnquis backwoods:
~ deer can be tanned rs easily MS airy
other animal. and sometimes they ara
bound 10 be tanned whether you want
them or not. a few years ago a young
deer came out with our cattle and
graxed round with them and came up
TO the barnyard at night. He didn't
seem a bit frightened, and ! gave 1t
some milk. II drank readily, and next
day wanted some more. could pat il
and fondie IL as well as could a cossct
lamb. IL stayed around with our cattle
for several weeks, when one day game
warden came and said 1 was liable 70
q penalty for keeping the deer and
feeding II. Then ! tried to drive IN
away, and the way he would come up
in spit, of my threats and attempts:
TO scare IL. and coaS for milk was pitifui
to see. had the hardest work to
make him so away, and for long time
he'd keep coming back TO our place."
A similar case occurred I'm Portland
last summer, where seal came 20 a
fisherman's boat and followed IL for
a number OF days and wouldn't drive
off.
These instances OF tame wild" nnl-
ioals remind Maine gentleman of what
hc saw in Mayfleld few years ago. He
was driving through that town, and
at a place where he stopped his hostess,
a handsome young woman, asked him
Il he wanted 10 see a deer. Taking d
dish with some grain in IL, or some
thing of that sort, she went down the
lane to the edge Of the woods and
stopped, calling in low tone somo
name. Presently n fine large buck
came out OF the woods and trotted up
10 her az tame as any colt could be.
He stuck his nose in the dish and
munched the food, while she patted
his neck and talked 20 him. When
she left him 10 come back TO the houno
he followed her TO the fence and seemed
