CHAPTER NIX.

For several days Constance, under the
oretense of illness, kept to her own apart
ments. but one evening both Constance
and her friend presented themselves at
dinner. Alice, who had dreaded the meet
ing between husband and wife, was some
what relieved when she saw the duke Walk
forward and courteously take his wife's
hand. There were several guests pres
ont. and Constance welcomed them all.
The dinner passed off well-sO well. in
deed. that after the last guest had de-
nar,ed the duke repaired to his wife's
room to thank her for her share in it.
II am more than pleased" he said. If
ron will preside equally well at the re-
ception i shall be delighted"

alta ace. coldly.
-Assurediy," returned the duke. 20

AmuSementS of proper sort are
conducive to health. The sports OF
childhood not only tOughen the mus
cles and invigOrate the system, but
prevent too much cerebral activity.
At the same time they develop agility,
alertness, daring, and not few OF
the qualities essential tn success in
life.
1t is largely the same with the
sports Of youth, especially among
students and all who are engaged in
sedentary pursuits. For some per.
sons all that is feasible is simple di-
yersiOn-a change in the line OF
thought feeling, and care; not an en-
forced change, with 'this for my
health" behind it, but natural and
pleasant one, which for the time alters
the currents OF nervous force.
For others something more stirring
and stimulating is desirable, but al:
such should remember that there Is a
limit beyond which excitement is not
\ benefit, but harm.
Excitements may be injurious
physically, mentally, and morally.
There are the morally ruinOus excite
ments of the modern bull-fights and
Of the ancient gladiatOrlal shows.
When women, made for tenderness,
sympathy, and love. can flnd their
highest enjoyment in such exhibi-
lions, it Is plain that moral nature IT.
;elf has become thoroughly atrophied.
TO young men particularly the ex-
,itement of the theater often becomes
70 controlling that 1t checks all their
better intellectual tendencies, and
leads to reckless expenditure and even
to pilfering.
Competitive games, especially inter
collegiate, in which many elements
combine to carry the excitement tf
the highest degree, are dangerous,
not only in the final decisive struggle
out in the long preliminary training
The tendency of such excessive
,xertlons is to enlargement OF the
neart Some men can endure almost
anything, hut many Of the most am
bilious and excitable run great risks
The modern form Of football in

Gus kind; the players put into it th'
utter recklessness OF soldiers on th'
battlefield. The Boston Medica
and Surgical Journal says:
.During the season in which tn

While 1T is true that the game G
football played in American college
and schools is not nearly so harmfu
and dangerous as that which is piaye
in England, yet the tendency to vic
lent exercise Is everywhere so grea
that it ought to be checked d--Youth

Disappears in the Qnicksands.

The steamship Coos Bay, which ar

coast, brought news Of the Loss at Al

channels in the bay, the dividing line
being a long and treacherOus bar Of

THE OCTOPUS.
Western Roads Are Tired of South
ern Pacific Methods.

CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-Western roads
have found fresh cause for complaint
against the Southern Pacific. In conse-
quence, threats of a war in California
rates are being hurled around with the
greatest vigor. The trouble, arises out OF
the discovery that the Southern Pacific
is negotiating for the transportation OF
a large party of settlers from Ph1ladel-
phia to Colorado at a greatly reduced
rate. 1t proposes to convey them by the
Morgan line steamers to Galveston ana
then carry them over the Sunset route
and the Denver. & Gulf to destination
Trunk line association roads have notl-
fed the Southern Pacific that they VIII
no longer pay it commissions on the emil
grant business it turns over 10 Nnem.
This will indirectly be of great assist
ance to the western immigration clearing
house. The Southern Pacific has NUM-
Der of European agencies working up
immigrant business for its Sunset route.
Its interests in this direction are all an
tagonistic to those of the western mn
migrant clearing house. 1t has had 70
to pay commissions which will compete
with those of the Southern Pacific.
The trunk lines have up to now shared
the payment of the Southern racine
commission because they get the first
part of the haul after the business ar
rives in this country. BY their refusal to
do so any longer the whole burden of
the support of the European agencies
will be thrown on the Southern Pacific,
and it will be less able to compete with
the western roads than it was before.

Hon. c. ]. Bassett, a native of Salt
Lake, but who has long been a prom
ineut Citizen of Idaho, is in town on
business. Mr.. Bassett is the superin-
tendent of the Union Pacific stage line
into Yellowstone park, and he talks
interestingly about that wonderland.
"The American people" said Mr.
Bassett, "are beginning Ito understand
that the scenery of their own coun-
try is more beautiful and picturesque
than that of Europe. With the growth
of this knowledge, travel to the park
has increased, and this year it is sure
to exceed anything in the past, if iudt-
cations count. The winter has been
the most open one have ever seen in
the state, and on this account, travel
will commence ON May 1, although it
is usually much later"
