GONE STALE"

Never mind, aunty, you'll come up
lively again; you've only gone stale on
revival meetings." Such was the
somewhat technical, but still synpa-
thetic, rejoinder lately made to his
venerated aunt by little fellow Of
eight, well up on boat races and foot
ball kicks, and by nature inclined to
reason on special instances in the light
of universal principles. a
Aunty had been lamenting to the
boys mother that the harder she tried
to refresh her spirit by redoubling her
attendance on exciting meetings the
deader she became Three a day did
no whit better in stimulating her than
one week. TT seems to me my heart
is just a stone" the poor creature pite-
ously exclaimed. But the little fellow
was not bit troubled. He was per-
fectly familiar with the same order of
phenomenon in Bill Sykes, who had de-
plorably muffed five times at the same
number of critical crises in a celebra-
ted base ball match, and in the parallel
instance Of Bob Mason, who in the
Yale Harvard Cornell boat race had
proved a dead funk" They were
both first-rate men, but had gone
STALE" that was all. So with his aunt,
she, too, had gone stale" on meetings,
only she didn't know it, and the pro-
foundly erudite boy felt that IL he
could contrive to get in a quiet word
or two with the Rev. Mr.. Jones, her
spiritual trainer, he could give him a
few points on his cunts condition
worth his notice She was over
trained, that was the trouble.
Every now and then some word or
phrase becomes universally current on
the popular lip, a word or phrase that
carries with it world Of significance
and emphasizes a thoroughly whole-
some truth. The fashion Of its use
may not last long, but while 1t lasts it
effects-particularly in the young-a
| good deal of sound education. People
| have been familiar enough for genera
! tions with the word stale. They know
| all about stale beer and stale jests, and
sometimes, like Hamlet, have got so
| low in spirits as to pronounce stale AL
the uses Of this world" Stale beer is

longer available,
After awhile, however, the very

| be revived to the imagination. This
revival it gets when a veritable Adonis
of a college stroke oar or a flying Mer-
| curry of ball catcher on the fly is

more fixed air or sparkle Of athletic

three times as many. This was large

which, though not involving more men
than have participated in previous
strikes, was unusually prolonged. OF
the disputes of the year those that
We're settled in favor of the worlmen
involved S0,5 per cent. of the whole

20 per cent. and those that We're set

per cent. Out of 575, 900 persons affect

enormous number of 10,400,O00 working
days lost by strikes during the year
tells story of great loss to an indus
trial nation like England.

MATERIAL Fon 4 NEW ORDER.


1t is pleasant to think that the ma
terial to form exclusive societies from
is not yet exhausted. There are peo-
pie in this part of the world who have
Indian blood in their veins. Why
shouldn't they get together and call
themselves something astounding?
The Indian line is long one. Major
John w. Powell, we'll known in connec-
ton with the work Of the Bureau of
Ethnology and Coast Survey, tells us
that far back, in earlier times than
we have any record of, before man
kind possessed the most ordinary do
nestle and social arts, the red men of
North America We're scattered over the
Continent, living the most primitive
kind of a life, without the ability to
make utensils, without philosophers or
religions, without even the capacity of
communicating their thought to each
other through the medium of what we
know as language.
These are good people to claim de-
scent from. We already have the I'm
proved Order Of Red Men, but this or
der isn't based on pride Of ancestry.
What is needed is an Unimproved Or
der Of Red Men, whose members would
be proud and satisfied to accept their
red ancestors without trying to i'm
prove them.

An interesting discussion, in which
interest, is going on in Baltimore. The
question is, Is an oyster a fish? The
question was raised by the statement
that the special committee of the Ma
ryland legislature, appointed to confer
with a similar body from the Virginia
legislature regarding oyster-dredging
and grabbing in the Potomac would
raise the point that oysters are not fish.
and that therefore they were not In
cluded in the compact OF 1855 whereby
equal rights of fishing" were allowed
to be enjoyed by the yirginians with
the Marylanders. To the staff of the
biological department of Johns Hopkins
University the question was an easy
one. "In the first place" as one OF
them said, "a fish is vertebrate AMI
NAL and an oyster is q mollusc. This
difference of a backbone makes the TWO
widely separate in the animal Kingdom.
In addition, fish is very highly organ
ICED, while an oyster is lowly organ
lied animal Fish in zoology is
definite word, and is applied to fishes,
or pisces, but it's popular use in law or
religion may have a much more ex-
tended meaning" The courts, indeed,
have ignored the geological distinction.
In case concerned with fishing rights
on the Potomac river and the POGO
moke sound the United States Supreme
court defined FISHING" to be "the TAX
ing of both floating fish and shell fish"
and in another part of the same opin-
ion there was a reference to fish
whether floating or SHE'LL" Clerical
authorities are also regardless Of the
definition in zoology. "The church"
Cardinal Gibbons said, has always re-
garded fish, oysters and crabs as be-
longing to the same genus, and there
fore permissible as food on fast days
and in Lent. They all live in the water
and are all alike cold FLOODED"
oysters may not be fish. but they are
as good as fish. And in confinement
they eat corn-meal greedily.

Twice day the elephants Of the In
dian army are fed and it is sone-
what strange sight. When the time
for breakfast arrives they are drawn
up in line opposite row Of piles of
food. Each elephant has ten pounds
of raw rice, which is done up in two
parcels of equal weight. The grain is
wrapped In leaves and then tied up
with grass. At the command ''atten-
ton each elephant raises Its trunk
and package of rice Is thrown into
its huge mouth. BY this system all
waste is avoided and each animal gets
its right amount of food
Judge Cassius G. Foster, of the Unit
ed States District court of Kansas,
thinks the proceeds Of a convict's labor
ought to go to the individual whom he
has cheated wronged, defrauded or
robbed. Judge Foster points out that
when A burns down BIS house it is
cold satisfaction for B to see A COM
fortably cared for at the expense of
the state, while he himself sits out in
the rain. Going back into history 1t is
shown that the principle of compensa-
ton rests soundly ON the old Teutonic
law, that in justice makes the culprit
Ray for the damage he has done.
The students of the Chicago univer-
sity are compelled to attend morning
chapel services with some degree of
regularity, and they consider it ina
proper that the professors should not

Through the university newspaper

ness of the PROFESSIONAL attendance,
and President Harper has written to
the various faculties, requesting bet
ter behavior on the part of the instruc-
tors. This is entirely right. Profess
sors need morning chaper' just as
much as students do.
