rood.

There is no reason i'll the world why
men, whether average men or men of
genius, should despise the cooking of
their food. They never show, or are re-
quircd to show, the same contempt to-
ward any other art, and OH no other is
their mental calm moro completely de-
pendent. An i'll fitting coat is a worry,
but not such worry as dinners perpet-
nally i'll dressed To many men, and es-
pecially to men whose work is sedentary
or whose brains arc fully taxed, food
which is at once light and nourishing is
an absolute necessity if they arc to ex-
ert their highest powers, and food of
that kind is bbtainable only by care in
selecting meats and good cooking when
they are selected y man should not
think too much of his dinner or devote
too much time to preparation for it or
enjoy it too visibly when it has arrived,
Ser all those are animal peculiarities.
But to remain content with bad food,
when little more thought or careful
ness or criticism would procure it in a
state fit to be eaten, is only what Scotch
men used to describe as "a wasting Of
the maircics. "-London Spectator.

THE SPORTING WORLD.

The extraordinary interest taken in
college athletics by tho general public
IS shown by tho reports of tho treasurers
Of the various college athletic associa-
tons. No other country in the world
ever patronized college sports SO ex-
tensively. just glance at some of the
figures for last year. The returns from
three of the leading colleges arc total
lied briefly as follows:
Received. Spent.
Yale (1805-6) $3.50, 739 SO $53,94511

Sept. 3d. 1890: ............ 4e.e5o.7s 5s,o4719
Princeton (lS956). .......... 48,8l5.Sl 3O,041.46
The Harvard totals are fully as great
as those given and will show profit Of
at least 10 per cent. The total receipts
from the athletic games of the four
leading universities Yale, Harvard,
Princeton and University of Pennsyl-
vania-were not far from $780, 900.
This money was contributed very large
ly by the general public, although, of
course, great part of it came from the
students. Just what tho proportion of
graduate and outside patronage to un-
dergraduate patronage is nobody can do
more than estimate.
College athletics have grown moro
and more expensive as the games have
grown in popularity. 1t will be seen by
reference to the table above that Penn
sylvania had n deficit at the end of the
year. That was due, it is explained, to
the fact that $6,S15. % was spent in i'm
proving its athletic grounds and that
summer football was practiced. Besides
$9,676.76 for football expense, the &C
counts show $3,177.s9 for transporta-
ton and hotels, $l,512.1a for training

SMILING LOVE.

From the Spanish of Francisco de Borje of
Esquilache.]
When bright and gay tho waters roll
In crystal rivers to tho sea,
Midst shining pearls they take, my soul,
Their sweetest, loveliest smile from thee,
And when their dimpling currents flow
They initiate thy laughing brow.
When morning from his duslky bed
Awakes with cold and slumbering eye,
Ere yet he wears his tints of red
He looks to see il thou art nigh
To offer thee diadem
OF every ruby, every gem.
When spring leads ON tho Joyous sun,
He brightens on thy eytS and takes
a nobler luster. When tho dun
And dnrlSsomo April first awakes
And gives his better smiles to May,
He keeps for thee his faircst day.
There are some idle bards who dream
That they have seen, with raptured eyes
Tho smiling field, the dimpled stream,
And (strange decoit) the laughing skies.
My-Sylvia, field nor stream nor sky
Fer smiled but when thy smile was nigh.

Bag For Bowling Ball.

A speciality for the convenience of
members of bowling clubs who desire
to visit other bowlers for contest
game and take their own balls along is
bowling ball bag. Tho individual
ball is as much used now as the indi-
vldual croquet mallet used to be in the
height of the popularity of that game
some years ago. Expert bowlers have
their favorite balls. and when they wish
to appear at their best i'll contest
game carry their particular ball with
them and use mono else. a ball of any
size for bowling is an awkward thing
to carry, and sporting goods houses are
manufacturing bags for the individual
balls. There is quite demand for the
bags. They arc made either to order or
ready for any size of ball. Leather, can
vasw with leather trimmings or moleskin
are used in the bags. The leather is
