The idea that human beings should
sleep with their heads to the north is
believed by the French to have for its
foundation scientific fact. They
affirm that each human system is in
itself an electric battery, the head
being one. of tire electrodes, the feet
the other Their proof was discover
ed from experiments, which the
academy Of science was allowed to
make on the body Of a man who was
guillotined, This was taken the IN

part after little yacillation turned
to the north md the body then re-

The city council met Tuesday night
and transacted the usual monthly
routine business. The council also
, instructed the city attorney TO draw
up an ordinance esta blishing lire limits
including half block on each side Of
Main street between Center street and
Robson street. This ordinance will
prohibit the construction of any
wooden building within those limits.
The city marshal was instructed to
enforce strictly the ordinance against
bon6res, and plans are being formu-
lated to have thu paper and other
debris hauled off and burned. The
question Of water supply in case OF
fire was also discussed. One plan was
mentioned and discussed and it seem
ed to. be favorably thought of. and
that is to erect stand pipe down at
the steam grist mill There is an in
exaustible water supply there and the
engine of the mill would furnish an
abundance of power for filling the
standpipe. Besides this there is an
immense tand there that could be
enlarged and utilized for holding q
large supply of water. From the
standpipe mains would be laid along
Main street. An organization of some
kind was also favored so that in case
ef FIRE work could be done systematic-
ally. A committee consisting OF
Chas. Mullen and Warren Shrine
was appointed to investigate the water
proposition and report.

Prompt Payment of a Bic Sum

J..
Dec. 4th, Rouse Hazard & Co. mail
ed their attorney a Chicago draft
for S17,S10.96, payable to the Western
Wheel Works, that being the amount
which had been in litigation between
the two Companies for several years.
The ability of Rouse Hazard & Co. to
season of the year, when the pay rolls
and other expenses of Bicycle Manu-
facturers are very large, and receipts
very small, is certainly most con-
vincing evidence of the solvency of
one Of the oldest bicycle concerns in
the United States. Of the manufacture
ers and jobbers of bicycles who were
in business when Rouse Hazard & Co.
entered that line, more than Is years
ago, the number that still exist can
be counted on the fingers of one hand.
Rouse Hazard & Co.report that their
present prospects are the brightest of
any time during all the years they
have been in business. They now have
bona fide orders from gilt-edged con-
Germs for larger number of machines
than they ever had orders for at any
one time. Their export trade has been
growing in all parts of the world, and
if any one of the several large export
deals they have in sight is closed, they
will have orders for all the wheels they
can possible turn out during the sea-
son of 1898.
The next Australia will bring us a
full line of these wheels, Sylphs and
Overland Specials. They will have
more than their share of up-to-date
features, and will make UP the most
elegant line of 1898 wheels that will
be seen here this year. We shall also
receive line of TRANSACTIONS" II

Wine ATHLETES
No Such Thing as Cham.
payne Training.
Note From A. r. Judd, Jr-. of Yale
Exceptional Cases-ideas or Sue
cessfuI Coach and Trainer.

EDITOR P. c.. At has come to my
notice that a certain article has been
published in a Honolulu newspaper,
saying that Coach Butterworth of the
Yale Football Team gave champagne
to the men of the football squad as a
regular training drink. This yarn is
evidently given credence, and there
fore, hasten to deny it. Such story
hurts football and especially the insti-
tuition with which the story is con-
nected.
Champagne was not served at the
Yale training table. After severe prac-
tice games, Mr.. Butterworth would
take the two or three men who were
fine" or too tired to relish their din
ner. down to Heublein's across the
Green and give them enough cham
payne and crackers to stimulate their
appetites for the regular dinner that
followed with the whole squad at $50
York street.
Mr.. ButterwOrth's methods are thor
oughly indicated by the fact that
within a week the same eleven men
of the Yale team played the veteran
teams of both Harvard and Princeton,
while in both games, their opponents
put in five or six new men as substi-
tutes.

ALBERT F. JUDD, JR.,
Yale, '97.

"Broncho" Armstrong, one of Yale's
Varsity football men, and captain of
a Yale racing crew, and coach
whose crews in football and rowing
have won nearly all their contests in
'97, writes to a correspondent here
about training and the use of wine.
He says:
I'm the last five years college men
have realized more and more that the
training must be adapted to the indi-
Vidual, and not the individual to the
training, which was the mistaken pol
icy for years. Many good men and a
good many games were lost through
this mistake.
Steps in advance were not taken
gradually but rather by jumps. The
captains directed these matters, and
in regard to diet, it depended on them,
whether a liberal or close diet was
allowed. If the captain was a self re-
| liant man, who looked into things foI
| himself, he would take a long step
ahead, as he could see that something
was wrong, when animals were train
ed so differently from men, while ply
sically they were so much alike. II
| the captain was not a man of this
| kind he followed the course laid down
by previous captains, and let it go al
| that | tried the advanced system in
| %
was the heaviest ever seen in a Yale
boat, and it was predicted that they
could not finish the Season in condi-
ton Feeding and careful training
might do it, and heavier crews, other
! things being equal, should win. But
| the heavy men had always before gone
out of condition and became mere
drags in the boat. The '95 crew OF
heavy men were trained to the end or
this theory, and it was one OF the
fastest crews on record. The system is
now used, and perfected.
I'm football the same practice be
gan to prevail This year, 81, there
was more liberality than ever in feed
ing.
LAS to the use of wine or cham
payne, the statement sent to Homo
lulu, is much overdrawn. A few men
were given champagne, as it was con-
sidered a good thing to keep the life
in man, and it was done this year
where and when deemed necessary, but
no general use of it was allowed. MOI
will it ever be, as we can see more and
more, that it is much better to keeI
the life in a man, than it is to bring
it back to him, if it has gone out by
imperfect training The step which
really counted in the Yale football
team, this year, was this: the life
was kept in the men by not over-work
/ ing them"

Washington, May 5.-(Special to The
Post )-~There is a wide difference in the
information available az to the movements
of Admiral SIMPSONS fleet. Most OF the
hints let drop in official circles this morn
ing were calculated to give the impression
that the fleet has gone directly against
Porto Rico and would capture that port,
whether the Spanish fleet was met or NOT.
The best congressional authority who Wis
tied the White House and the departments
this morning say however, that the attack
upon Porto Rico will not occur until the
Spanish fleet has been met. or-n case 1t
Cadiz--untl provision has been made to
land about 10000 troops to hold the island
after it has been captured.
Sampson has sailed from Key West; tnat
much is certain and nothing else is.
The Porto Rico theory is given prefer
enoe here In official and congressional cir
cles. Out of the conflicting opinions ana
statements one thing that appears clear is
that Admiral Sampson has been given
wider discretion than he has heretofore
had in his operations He has been given
three missions: One Is to take Porto Rico;
one is to meet the Spanish fleet, II it can
be located on this side of tho Atlantic; the
other is TO protect the Oregon As to- the
