AN AWKWARD PRED1CAMENT.

Professor Max Muller, in Cosmopolis, in the coin-rooms of the British muse um, where, during a visit of a number of gentlemen and ladies, it was ob- served that a very valuable and almost unique Sicilian coin had disappeared. All the gentlemen present in the room at the time had to be searched, and no one objected except one. He protested his innocence, but declared that noth- ing would induce him to allow his pock- cts to be searched. All the other visi- tors were allowed to go home, but he was detained while the coin-room was swept, and every corner searched once more. At last the missing coin was found in a chink of the floor.
 Even apology was made to the sus- pected person, but he was asked why he had so strongly objected to being searched He then produced from his pocket another specimen of the very same coin. T came here" he said, ito compare my specimen, which is very perfect, with the only other specimen which is thought to be superior to mine, and almost unique in the world. Now, suppose" he added. that you had not found your coin, and had found my

PREPARING FOR H1LLHoUsE.

Coach Tompkins Must Have Help-The
 New Britain Team Anxious.
 Yesterdays New Britain Herald says:
 "The high school football team and it's tutors will devote the five days of this week previous to the championship game on Yale field New Haven, Sat urday, to preparations for a successful onslaught on the Hillhouse high school eleven, who have grouped themselves in formidable array about the prized Yale cup, never yet held by the New Haven school and twice the reward of victory by N. B. H. s. Hillhouse was defeated in '93 and the New Britain team has just as excellent a chance this year Coach Tompkins said as much to Her aid reporter after the game with Hart ford Saturday. The coach will have lots of assistance in his work this week at least he ought to have 1t, and if New Britain is going to win he must have it.
 Abbott, one of the Yale Varsity end men, will be one of those whom the teams supporters will secure. It is conceded that Captain Burke's men can play dashing football. Their interfer- ence has never been better or their team play better followed out. But in the Hillhouse team they will meet a heavier and older set of players, who have been coached by such men as San ford, John Hall and half a dozen other Yale experts. This week it is stated that each man on the Hillhouse team will have a coach to himself. He will need it, whatever the result of Satur- days game. One thing is certain-it won't be a 70 to shot.
 ''The local squad needs more time to practice. All the week past the practice time has dwindled away to less than half an hour this on account of dark ness. The team will have to play two thirty-five- minute halves Saturday and they should have an hours practice each afternoon this week. The greatest attention will be paid to finishing off Hunt and Judd, the ends. Hillhouse house has bulky center, their guards especially being very heavy, and Cop lev, Stevens and Sullivan will doubt less have the opportunity of putting to use all the advice they can get this week.
 "The interest in the contest locally is even greater than last year, as the re- suit as far as this city was concerned year ago was foregone conclusion The team will have lots of rooters Sat- urday."

Ask Your Dentist.

We do not want you to think that when you buy Pearlo-dent that it will remove tartar and stains from your teeth. If you could ouly believe that tartar and stains should only be re- moved by your dentist you would not want any dentifrice which claims to accomplish these results. It is no won der that tooth preparations containing cuttle-fish and pumice stone should claim to remove almost anything, for they wear down enamel near the gums where it is thinnest and encourage soreness, sensitiveness and decay. Don't try to avoid your dentist to your detriment.
 Pearlo-dento polishes but does not grind. It often takes off tobacco stains and counteracts the accumulation of tartar, but we do not claim it will all ways remove both, for we know it takes grit to do it and there is nc harmful grit in Pearlo-dento. There is a wealth of merit in it, but it does not make any pretenee of doing what only a dentist should do. Would you polish your silver with sand?

1Roouo1s CONFEDERATION
President Smiths Paper Concerning the
 Six Nations,

Six Nations.
 President Smith of Trinity college read an interesting paper November ?, at Hartford, under the auspices of the Connecticut Historical society, giving a detailed review of "the Six Nations'' or the Iroquois confederation. When the French first knew them they con- sisted of five nations: The MohaWks, the f1eroest of all Indians, the Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas and Senecas, These Indians were pure children of na- ture and their language shows that they had no reflection. Ferocity was cultivated as an accomplishment. President Smith paid a tribute to the Dutch for their patience, perseverance and just treatment of the Indians, treating them as men.
 When the English overcame the Dutch in 1864 they sensibly cultivated the friendship of the Indians, influenced doubtless by the Dutch.
 The sufferings of the French Jesuits at the hands of the Iroquois and the magnanimous conduct of the Dutch at Albany were shown. President Smiths s | paper was a carefully prepared philo- sophical history of. the connection of | the Six Nations with the contest be- tween the French and English for the control of this continent, and received a | vote of thanks from the society. At the business meeting the society voted it's approval of the course of Charter Oak historical lectures to be given for the instruction of pupils of the public schools.

A VANISHING TYPE.

Only lately have Philadelphians be- gun to realize and reflect upon the dis appearance of the Quakers as we knew them; only lately has it been brought home to us that a gradual obliteration of the old uncompromising orthodoxy has set in which means the ultimate absorption of the sect. Even now, rare as is the old garb on the streets where it was such a common sight not so many years ago, the assertion that the society is diminishing would meet with doubt and hesitation. We are so fami- liar with the Quaker, he is so necessary and potent a type in Philadelphia, that we would not accept the warrant even of statistics; yet, now that the visible limit has been reached, what can we do but awake to the change? We see few broad -bri1nmed hats and drab bonnets where we once saw many; of those who wear them, the most are oldland tremb- ling. If there are young Quakers, how are we to recognize them? Not by their dress, at any rate, except in so far as plainness of cut and sopriety of color still rule the taste of Friends, whether wealthy or in moderate circumstances; the distinctive costume is being laid aside, with many of the distinctive GUS toms. And why? Because the Society is losing it's control over it's younger members? because it's rigid rules no longer suffice to hold in check the hu- man spirit with it's uncoriquerable love of freedom? This is the common expla- nation, and the one desired by those who love romance.-Thomas Wharton in Lippincott's.

A COlMMIINTCATrnN

The New Haven Woman School Suffrage association will hold it's an- nual business meeting on Thursday, November II, in the Boardman School building, beginning promptly at o'clock.
 Reports for the years work may be expected from the secretary, the treas- urer and the chairman of committees. These will show that the organization in passing safely through recent vicis- situdes of political significance is not to be thereby turned from it's recogrliz- ed legitimate sphere in school inter- ests.
 The necessary modification of it's title work and with the freer latitude of membership. The association becomes one of general concern.
 The impression prevailed during the summer months that nothing was be- ing done by the women in regard to the school board appointments. Those who attend the meetings on Thursday will have the opportunity to hear the very interesting report of the committee ap- pointed to memorialize the mayor on this subject,
 It should be remembered that at the meeting the officers and committees fo1 | the next year are to be elected, and many important matters decided. | A cordial invitation is extended to all | women interested in the welfare of the | public schools
