Commercial life appears to be prov
ing more and more attractive to col
loge men, il statistics recently gathered
by Yale professor are to be taken as
fairly representative, says Brad
streets. The statistics are derived
from the records OF the academic de-
partment at Yale, but they refer to
the vocations of about 1900 graduates,
and perhaps it is ouly fair to regard
them in a general way as typical.
The figures show but little change in
the proportion of graduates following
the law during The century, that pro-
fession in each scholastic generation
enlisting about a third of the gradu-
ates. At tbe beginning of the century
the ministry, which in the earliest
days of the Yale attracted a larger
proportion OF the graduates, followed
the law as close second. The pro-
portion attracted by the law has in
the interval suffered little change, but
the ministry is not chosen by nearly
SO many graduates as formerly, aud
its former place seems now to be
taken by the mercantile vocation,
which enlists about one-third of the
graduates at present. This vocation,
indeed, seems to be growing more at
tractive to universiiy-bred men under
modern conditions, and it may be
that in the near fnture it will attract
even q larger proportion than at
present.

The Spartan and the sybarlte.

Should one, then, train himself to
lift heavy weights, to bear heavy bur-
dens, to eat coarse food, to go with
out sleep, in the everyday walks of
life? In short, should one be q Spar
tan, daily depriving himself of the
luxuries of life, or should one be a
Sybarite, indulging in all luxury and
pleasure, and Offering heavy prem
iums to those who will invent any new
form of enjoyment for the body and
its five senses? 1t is we'll to feel that
one can be q Spartan if the occasion
warrants it, and if one lives as
Sybarite it is not possible all at once
to rise to the situation that demands
the endurance of a Spartan. Never
theless, it should not be forgotten that
it requires q great deal of a certain
kind OF endurance, perhaps greater
after its kind, to be Sybarite than to
be Spartan. Think of the prince of
Sybarites-that is, the man among
them all who was most noted for his
luxury--who, when he went a-wooing
into distant country, TOOK with MIN
on his journey thousand cooks!
Think of the heights of endurance in
the way of digestion that it required
to perform the gastronomic feats which
would show just appreciation of the
results of their laborsl To meet the
exactions of society to-day, in all its
phases, requires unlimited powers of
endurance. The burden and heat of
the day may be borne by the Spartan
laborers and mechanics, but the bur-
den and heat of the day and night are
borne by the upper classes of the
great cities. More than the African
explorer, more than the soldier in
active service, do they need staying
powers and the height of endurance,
for it has been rightly said they go

A new controversy is added to tho
internal agitations OF the vast domains
of the Gar. A ukase has been issued
by tho Russian Minister of Education,
NJ. Bogolerow, forbidding the wearing
OF corsets in any educational institu-
tion. This terrible order is obeyed
obediently enough by the more venile
girls, but the maidens who, while still
pursuing higher studies, consider
themselves young ladies', are raising
a chatter OF protest. If they wish to
cramp their waists, they claim the
feminine right to do as they please.
Instead Of packing these rebellious
young women of to Siberia, the
Little Father" has caused an eminent
scientist to write a learned brochure
upon the evils of tight lacing. But it
would seem the part of wisdom to
have another essay written upon how
conducive to beauty are unbound
waists. Once convinced upon that
point and the pouting misses OF Rms
sian seminaries would give tho
paternal Government no more trouble.

Light Fare.

Parents of growing boys have been
heard to say that there was practically
no limit to the amount of food their
sons could devour. 1t is doubtful,
however, whether one of these parents
could read with any feeling of pleas
ure the account of the boyish expert
ence of Leigh Hunt, the English au-
thor. He was sent to school at Christ's
Hospital in 1892. In his autobiog-
raphy he tells of the schoolboy fare of
that time:
Our breakfast was bread and water.
The bread consisted of the half of q
three-penny loaf, according to the
prices then current. This was not
much for growing boys. who had had
nothing to eat from six or seven o'clock
the preceding evening.
For dinner we had the same guam.
tity of bread, with meat only every
other day, and that consisting of
small slice, such as would be given to
a child three or four years old. Yet
even that, with all our hunger, we
were very often left half eaten-the
meat was so tough.
On the other days we had a milk
porridge, ludicrously thin; or rice
milk, which is better. There was no
vegetables or puddings. Once month
we had roast beef; and twice year Il
blush to think of the eagerness with
which it was looked forD q dinner of
pork. One was roast, and the other
was boiled; and on the latter occasion
we had our only pudding, which was
of peas.
For supper We had a like piece OF
bread, with butter or cheese; and
then to bed, with what appetite we
might. Youths Companion.

Did Good For Once,

He knocked at the back door of a
suburban house and the cook opened
it. He was sinister-looking fellow,
and the cook held on to the door.

"No," trembled the cook.
''Master of the house here?"
"No."
''None of the people in?"
''None but me-" and she tried to
shut the door.
"Aw, come off, he growled, setting
his foot against it; "I'll come in and

Invitation on an Umbrella.

During the afternoon of the recent

started to walk down Chestnut street
under the protection of an umbrella.

The tip of his finger lightly traced on

The owner Of the umbrella, all un-
conscious of the fact that she was the
object of much attention, walked
slowly on down the street. Several
rude young men, who saw the inscrip-
lion on the umbrella, peered rather
boldly at the pretty face beneath 1t as
shey pushed by. This annoyed her so
much that she suddenly closed her
umbrella and took refuge in a store,
still unable to even guess what people
were smiling at.-Philadelphia Record.

For many years English manufac-
turers of cotton fabrics and other tex
tiles have achieved an unenviable rep
utation from their practice of weight
ing their goods by means of chemicals
and other adulterants, observes the
Dry Goods Econ omist. 1t is largely
owing to the prevalence of such
methods that the honest-made Ameri-
can cottons have in China, East Africa
and certain other markets, where
their merits are known, withstood the
assaults of British manufacturers and
merchants. The fraudulent character
Of many of the British goods having
been brought 10 the attention of the
Manchester Chamber of Commerce
has been SEde the subja ola special
report bySane of the Committees of
that body, which contains some rather
astonishing revelations. Not only
sheetings, but shirtings, fannelettes,
blankets, Innings, ticks, etc, having
been shown on analysis to be heavily
adulterated with the chlorates of zinc
and magnesium, EPSON salts aud other
chemicals. In one case q blanket
weighing seven pounds was shown to
owe one pound of its weight to such
treatment. And in many instances
woolens were found to be as much
adulterated as cottons. Such fabrics
says the committees report, are dan
gerous to health, and this statement is
endorsed by physicians. Just what is
to be done in the matter is not vet
known, but it cannot be doubted that
the ventilation Of such methods will
result in either the enforcement of ex-
listing laws or the enactment of new
legislation to cover the case. In tho
meantime, the American consumer
may rejoice that at lenst the great ma-
iority of the cotton goods he buys arc
free from similar adulteration. =

Cardinal WolseY,s Hat.

An interesting relic has just been
presented to Christ Church in the
shape of the Cardinals hat, which
once belonged to its founder, Cardinal
Wolsey. Unlike many relics, the hat
boasts an authentic and fairly COM
plete pedigree. 1t appears to have
been stolen by Bishop Burnett, who
was clerk to the royal wardrobe and
Bishop of Salisbury in William III. s
time. 1t then passed into the hands
of Horace Walpole. One of the latest
owners of the hat was Charles Kean,
who wore it while playing the part of
Cardinal Wolsey in Shakespeare's
"Henry VIII" The hat is in good
condition, but the tassels, which are
so prominently represented on the
Christ Church coat t-of-arms, have been

TO TELL HARMLESS SNAKES.
How the Poisonous Reptiles Inject Thoir
Venom Into the Flesh.

Venom Into the Flesh.
Harmless snakes generally have
two rows of teeth in the upper jaw
and one in the lower, these teeth
being slender, sharp, comparatively
short, and not set in sockets, as these
animals do not tear or mutilate then
food. The teeth are simply used rs
hooks by which the food is drawn into
the snakes throat. The bones of the
jaw being movably joined together,
the teeth are advanced on one side,
securing hold on the prey, and then
on the other side, in which way the
swallowing is accomplished. Poison.
GUS snakes have two long, sharp
fangs which appear to be flattened out
like knife blade and then bent up,
forming a groove, in some cases
forming closed tube, open, however,
at both ends, the upper end of which
is fastened to O bone in the cheek,
which moves with ease, so that the
fangs when not in use can be folded
or packed away. The saliva of all
animals, even man, contains poison;
though in man it is greatly diluted and
of use in assisting digestion. In the
poisonous snakes it is collected into
sacs or glands placed on each side of
the upper jaw, says the New York
Sun. A delicate canal extends from
the poison gland forward under the
eye to the edge of the jaw and there
opens into the fang, and to use the
poison the snake has but to strike the
prey; as the fangs enter the flesh the
muscles of the jaw press upon the
poison glands, squeeze the poison
through the little canal down through
The hollow of the poison fang in the
wound. There is most ingenious
arrangement in the fang. The open.
ing is not at the very tip, where it
would be liable to get plugged up with
skin and flesh, but it is q little way
up in front of the groove, so that the
sharp point goes in first and makes a
little hole into which the poison flows.

A Dragon in the Rock.

Among the most wonderful mon
sters of the Age of Reptiles was the
ichthyosaurus, or "hsh lizard" Last
summer a very perfect specimen was
uncovered in quarry at Stockton in
Warwickshire, England. The creature
is twenty feet in length, its head alone
being almost four feet loug. The
ichthyosaurus possessed gigantic eyes,
whose lenses could be focused at will
for different distances. 1t hunted its
prey in the sea.

Miniature Oxen.

The sacred oxen of Ceylon are de-
scribed by a recent writer. The
largest specimen never exceeds thirty
inches in height. The Marquis of
Canterbury has one presented to him
in 1891, which is now about ten years
of age, and only ten inches tall. Not
withstanding their smallness they are
very useful in Ceylon, where, it is
said, four of them are able to draw a
two-wheeled cart with driver and
200 pounds of merchandise, sixty or
seventy miles in a day.

Not Entitled to Relief.

Judge Edwards yesterday dismissed
the bill in equity in the case of c. p.
O'Malley against the Borough Of Oly-
phant and Flanaghan & OHara, con-
tractors, ruling that the plaintiff did
not bring his suit in time to take ad-
vantage of equity proceedings. The
costs were placed on the plaintiff.
The Olyphant Sewage Drainage COM
pany secured a franchise in 1897 to
construct system of sewers in Oly-
phant. 1t appears the company did not
take advantage of the franchise and
the borough passed legislation to annul
1t and proceeded to construct a sewer
in the First sewer district at the ex-
rense of the property holders and bor-
ough. A contract was awarded to
Flanaghan & O'Hara and the work was
proceeded with.
The plaintiff came into court last
March to secure an injunction restrain
ing the contractors from doing any
further work on the sewer, forbiddinp
the borough from making any pay
ments on the contract, alleging that
the first franchise had not been re-
pealed; that the ordinance and con-
tract were defective, and that the bor-
ough's share # the expense, SO Cos. .53,
would increase he Indebtedness of the
borough beyond the constitutional
limit.
Judge Edwards finds that most of
