Marietta. Ohio October 15.-West
Virginia University defeated Marietta
college in short game by six TO five.
A West Virginia touchdown was made
four minutes after play began. MARI

by fifteen minutes hard work, aided

after this. The game was called on ac-

Couldn't Spit In Church.

A bishop of church conference In
Georgia told those delegates who used
tobacco not to expectorate on the floor
or on the handsome new carpet, which
had recently been put down. He told
them that If they must chew tobacco to
go outside and they would find a nice
new curbstone and plenty of fresh sand
TO expectorate upon, or they could bring
their cuspidores, and in case Of an
emergency they could use their hats.

Americans have been surprised by
the evidence of the hostility of CONT
mental Europe to the stand this coun-
try has taken on the Cuban question.
We have disclaimed desire to annex
Cuba to the United States; we have no
race hostility to Spain or to Spaniards;
we have left to ourselves no motive to
war. and nothing to gain by success,
save to deliver the island from mlsrule
and barbarity. Yet we are described
throughout the continent as little bet
ter than brigands. 1t would be open
to us to retort. If II were worth while.
that France. which has dismembered
Slam and seized Madagascar: that
Russia, which has overrun Asia; that
Germany. which has carved slice off
China. which covets Samoa. which de-
prived Denmark of Schleswig- Holstein
and France of Alsace- Lorraine; that
Austria-Hungary. which took from
Turkey its provinces of Bosnia and the
Herzegovlna-that not one of these
countries is In a position TO reproach
us with territorial brigandage. II the
charge We're true. OF course It is not
that they are shocked at the thought
that we could contemplate taking pos
session of Cuba. The explanation is
doubtless twofold. In the first place.
they do not relish the idea of the Uni
ted States having any part in European
politics. However ready they may be
10 take territory from one another. or
from sOvereigns whom they regard as
barbarians. they do not wish America
TO dispOssess one of them of one of its
colonies, even if IL is not to take that
colony as its own. But there is some
thing much deeper than this. They are
all excessively jealous Of Great Britain,
and of its power in all parts Of the
world. They see that this war has
brought England and the United States
upon terms, not Of alliance but of sym
pathy and friendship. which are better
than any paper alliance Fortunately
their outspoken i'll will can do us no
harm. Not one of them dares. and even
all OF them combined would hardly
dare, to put their hostility In practice,
so long as England stands ready-as
she seems TO dO-to be as active in our
behalf as they are against us. SO the
friendship Of Great Britain at this time
is OF far more consequence to us than
is the yelled hostility OF all Europe.
Let us hope that John Bulls fine atti-
tude toward us may lead us all to
think of something beside our old griev-
ances against him.

A correspondent of the New York
Evening Post, writing from China,
notes two remarkable phenomena
which are manlfesting themselves in
that country. One Is the abandonment
Of the immemorial contempt for the
foreigner. The ignorant crowds in a
village will shout foreign devil" at an
Occidental, but among the more intelli-
gent classes there is II growing convic-
ton that they must learn the secret of
Western success. AS one step towards
Ii the Government Is establishing uni
versities at Pekin, Tien-Tsln and
Shanghai, where the English language
will be taught. There is also a rapidly
increasing sale of Western books and
the Government has even decided to
make questions in Western history and
science a test for honOrs in the exam
ations. The other noteworthy fact is
the hospitality shown to the idea of for
eigners taking possession of important
parts of Chinese territory. All of which
shows that new life is fermenting in
the centuries old Chinese Empire to
which the Western world will have to
give heed.

Asparagus Growing.

The Missouri experiment station has
been experimenting for the past two
years with asparagus growing, and has
successfully grown asparagus In the
open field in mid-wlnter by running
steam into shallow tunnels between
the asparagus rows. The asparagus
field was first covered with six or
seven inches OF heating horse manure
and the steam forced into the soil from
the greenhouse boiler. BY this means
a large yield of fine asparagus was OBJ
tained throughout the months of De-
cember, January and February; the
finest quality being gotten in the mid
die of January, when the weather was
coolest. Many of the sprouts were
twelve or fourteen inches long and an
inch in diameter, bleached perfectly
and very tender and delicious. The
amount of steam required was very
small, and for persons located near a
good market the winter growing of as
paragus would prove profitable.

SHORT LIFE OF MODERN PAPER
Few Books of This Time VIII Last
for Centuries.

A study of paper-making with a view
of ascertaining the relative durability Of
different kinds of paper, has been made
by the English Society of Arts. The So
ciety finds that while papers have come
down to us from the Middle Ages in a
perfect condition of preservation, on the
other hand, there are many instances of
the total destruction of books produced
within quite recent years. The trouble
with modern books seems to be that
they become discolored and disintegrate,
and both these faults are caused by the
way the wood pulp is treated. There is
chemical change of the fiber. Although
large proportion of the books now be-
ing printed will have become useless be-
fore the middle of the next century, there
is no reason why durable volumes should
not be produced where sufficient care is
taken. The Society of Arts tells how this
can be accomplished. ~ Book paper
should be sized with a minimum guam
tity of resin; ~ the presence of starch
is Objectionable; (9) care must be taken
that paper should contain a minimum of
chlorides; az ten per cent of total min
eral constituents is the outside of what
can be allowed in papers for publications
of permanent value, and, (5) a close and
well-compaeted sheet is especially neces-
sary for printing papers. For book pa
pers for publications of permanent value,
not less than 20 per cent of cotton, flax
or hemp should be used; not more than
? per cent of resin, and not more than 10
per cent total mineral matter.
