the manufacture of boxing gloves" re-
marked a dealer In sporting goods 10 a
Star reporter, land though the supply
made up was unusually large in anticipa-
ton of the event, 1t did not hold out. Peo-
pie who never thought of boxing gloves
before have purchased them during the
past two or three months. For the lower
priced goods, such as are bought by boys,
the demand has been very great and con-
tinues to be. The advent of Charley God
frey, Dixon and Peter Jackson, as well as
others Of color, in the prize ring turned
the attention of the colored people Of
sporting age In that direction, and they
bought gloves In very large quantities., es-
pecially Of low-priced goods, and the man
ufacturers reaped a harvest IN a field
which they had never before worked Now
the boys have II bad and for the moment
they have dropped tops, which were just in
season, and are having their fun IN friend
~ and at times unfriendly set-tos, or ar
guments, as they are now called. More
than one boy appeared at school during
the past week with beautifully colored
eyes and bruised nose, the result Of the
late championship contest out in Nevada"

Bid old ocean bear the message.
Jesus hath redeemed the soul.
Finished all the doubts forever
That perplexed this sin stained word:
Light and Joy hath beamed upon IL
From the banner Christ unfurlod.

LORD Jesus Christ Christian young men are
wanied. Business menare supporting Christ
IAN enterprises in many instances because
they want young men who have had Christian
framing and whom they can trust. There
are business openings for Christian young
men. Young men also have great oppo, tuni-
" IN the Sunday school for work, growth and
knowledge In the general discussion, Help
gained trom Conventions, Deacon j. o.
Spring OF Bellows Falls, stated he believed
conventions are prolific of good in the line
ior which they are called. | know l am ben
eilied by these Sunday school conventions,
although can't remember all that is said and
done m them, but there is an inspiration in
them that does me good and that leaves an i'm
preston Tor greater good in me.
heV' IL. q. Bristol OF SaXtons River, thought
these conventions of great benefit to us and
th'aI 'here were many problems confronting
us that we would do we'll to study in conven-
ton and otherwise. This growing tendency
to get away somewhere Sunday for enjoy
ment and recreation, the bicycle and excur-
SION sud many other tendencies that are con-
fronting us, as an illustration, spoke OF the
cycle path i'll Brooklyn, which has been con-
structed that is nine miles long people going
two and three abreast and in groups all day
Sunday, but not to Sunday school; thought
graded Sunday school and regular courses of
instruction for each grade might be beneficial.
Mr. N. G. Williams of Bellows Falls,
thought Sunday school conventions instruct
i've, many new ideas suggested that might be
proiitably adopted into our schools. We gain
something of benefit in this interchange of
ideas. And if we would improve our schools
we must attend these conventions and associ-
ations.
Mr.. Walter Smith of Boston, said he had
attended many conventions in these lines and
the different thoughts, ideas and suggestions
had been very helpful to him. He believed
in Christian insistence by parents and guard
ians upon those under them attending Sunday
school. This ended the discussion and the
association closed by congregational singing
and benediction by Rev. &. F. Chaplin OF
Saxtons River.

CyDher-Writiug,

The art of secret writing, or writing
N cipher, was, according to Polybius,
invented by Aeneas, author of a trea-
Use on tactics, and other works. He
produced twenty methods Of writing
in cipher, which no person could un-
fold but we doubt much whether they
would preserve this quality at the pres
ent day. 1t is no less strange than
true that this art, so important in dip
lomacy, as long as couriers are liable
to be intercepted, was held in abhoT-
renee by the Elector Frederic the Sec
ond, who considered it as a diabolicai
invention. Trithemius, Abbot of Span
helm, had composed several works to
revive this branch of knowledge; and
Boville, an ignorant mathematician,
being unable to comprehend the extra
ordinary terms he made use of to ex.
plain his method, published that the
work was full of diabolical mysteries.
POissevin repeated the assertion; and
Frederic, in a holy zeal, ordered the
original work of Trithemius, which he
mad in his library, to be burned, as
the invention of the devil.-Harper' 5
Round Table.
