who appeared much moved, stopped

POPULARITY OF CRICKET.
Englishmen Play 1t from the Cradle to
the Grave.

EnShshmen Play 1t from the Cradle to
the Grave.
OF all the sports cultivated in Eng
land cricket has the fewest characters
tic features at the public schools. This
is not because it is the least popular
of the sports, but because it is most
popular, says Harper's Round Table.
There is no cricket but cricket and all
England is its prophet. 1t is played
in fields and parks and byways AS
you whiz through England on the hys-
terical little railway trains the wayside
swarms with men, boys and children
in white trousers. 1t is played in the
morning, in the afternoon, and in the
long summer evenings it is often al
most 10 o'clock before the stumps are
draw. 1t is played from me cradle to
the grave. Certainly the best and most
popular player in England to-day. Dr.
W. G. Grace, has a son in the Cam
bridge eleven, and is a grandfather
And it is recorded that a famous crick-
eter once excused a younger brothers
lack of skill by saying: "He never had
so i'll that he couldn't begin playing
until he was 6 years old" If a boy
isn't a past master at cricket before
he goes to school there is little hope
for him.
How much most schoolboys do play
cricket is evident in the time and space
given to the game. At Elton, for in
stance, there are seven separate
grounds, each with name of it's own.
The most exalted of these is Upper
Club, where the best twenty-five play
ers in the school hold their matches,
and the school eleven plays it's home
games. Then there is a Middle Club,
a Lower Club, an Upper six-penny, a
Lower sixpenny, and a lot more.
Every house" in fact, has it's eleven,
and its separate field. In all, the Elton
cricket grounds cover forty-two acres
and afford room for almost 500 boys |
to play cricket at one time.

An old revolutionary soldier in Port

was very proud, and by doing such
work as he could he secured a sufficient
income to provide for his modest
wants. One day he slipped at the top
Of a flight of stairs and fell almost to

hurried to him in great alarm and
asked if he thought he was seriously
lnjuredN 81 guess not, ma'am," he said,

my pension, sure! "-Argonaut.

AN EARLY LIQUOR LICENSE

nantly Received.
The famous "gin law" passed in
1886, is interesting as the earliest Sc
we're blow at liquor dealing among civ
siized nations, says the Popular Science
Monthly. 1t levied a tax of 20 shil-
lings a gallon on spirits and a license
Of ESQ for any one selling or dealing in
it. And, being in advance of public
opinion, it failed much as other, more
stringent, prohibition laws have failed
IN our own day. For the cry was at
once raised that it taxed the poor
mans gin and let the rich mans wine
go free. Every wit, every carlcaturist,
had his fling at it. Ballads were
haWked round, telling of the approach
ing death of mother gin. The liquor
shops were hung with black and cele-
brated uproariously Nine. Geneva's ly-
ing in state, her funeral, her wake and
so on. The night before the law went
INTO effect, so a contemporary journal
says, there was a universal revel all
over the country. Every one drank his
I'LL and carried home as much gin, be-
sides, as he could pay for. To evade
the law, apothecaries sold it in walls
and small packages, sometimes colored
and disguised, generally under false
labels, such as Collie Water" Make
Shift, Ladies' Delight" There were
printed directions on some Of these
packages-e. g., Take two or three
spoonfuls three or four times a day,
Or as often as the fit takes you In
formers were very prominent and ex-
ceedingly offensive, inventing snares
to catch lawbreakers for the sake of
heavy rewards and spying and sneak
ing around in way particularly dis
tasteful to the English mind. In con-
sequence they suffered in their turn. |
The mere cry, liquor spyr' was
enough to raise mob in the London |
streets and the informer was lucky if |
he escaped with a sound thrashing and |
a ducking in the Thames or the near |
est horse pond. Indeed, such an out
cry was made about the matter that |
the ministry became very unpopular
and the law was not enforced after two
Or three years and was largely modi-
led in 1743, aften seven years trial.

Young man and woman, the effect

success and influence and power will
depend more on what you identify

Paul be without his Identification with
the Christian gospel? What would Co

by as much as you derogate from his
peculiar relations as discoverer. you
subtract from his claim upon remem-
brance? What is Watt without his
engine? What is Fulton without his
steamboat? What is Morse or Cyrus
Field without electric telegraph and
cable? What is Lincoln except for iden-
tification with emancipation and a re-
united nation? If this item does not
seem as significant to you as il does

eloquent champion of our brother in

identified with great cause he took
dignity and quality and renown from
it. But, emancipation being past. he

relatively unimportant and doubtful
issues and seemed to many, except by
very ordinary individ-
ual, without much of a message. lin
gering belated on the stage of life. In
himself he was as great in the last
