SPORTS AM0Na THE AFRICANS
a1any of the Games Played by the Ma
tives and Beers Are Taken
from the English.

Long years ago it was noted that
wherever Englishmen went they took
their national pastimes with them; and
on arecent stoff day. at Mafeking, when
the Beers had for a few hours ceased
bombarding, a cricket match was or
ganized by the beleaguered garrison.
There are other parts of the dark con-
tinent, says the Birmingham Post,
in which civilization is accompanied
and stimulated by athletics, and an in
teresting testimony is to hand upon
that head from st. Andrews college.
Kiungani, which owes existence to
the universities mission to central
Africa. Of all the games played there
by the boys, some of whom are freed
slaves, football has the first place in
popularity, though a few boys have
shown a desire to learn a little more
about cricket, and the smaller ones
have a Partially for FOUNDERS. They
had last season four ''first-class'
matches of football, two of which they
won and two they lost. In the first her
majesty's ship Fox scored four goals to
their one; in the second, the same ship
scored one goal to their nil; in the
third. against a combined team of Eu-
ropeans from town, they scored four
goals to nil, and in the fourth, against
her majesty's ship Philomel, they
scored five goals to nil. They would
like very much to have thin jerseys,
with badge of the college, to present
to boys who win their "colors'' by play
ing in three ''first-class'' matches, and
it will be no wonder if English friends
provide these, as well as the footballs,
which are wanted for 20 villages in
Nyasa, and the tennis balls for boys at
Maerila

structfOn OF Food.

All men and women eat. If they
don't they won't last long, and no one
need worry as to whether they count
for much or not. But good eaters are
usually very objectionable. By good
eaters do not mean large eaters or
greedy eaters, though I may include
some of both; but 1 mean the men and
women who enjoy what they eat and
show no disposition, either from
dyspepsia or other form of Indigestion,
to quarrel with their food, says John
Gilmer Speed, in the Criterion.
Gluttons, however, are not very love-
ly. sat at a table once with woman
at a summer resort, who, every day for
dinner, ate IL ears of corn from the
cob. That is more than the regulation
midday feed for horse. And in the
operation she creased her hands, and
her cheeks; and every now and again
her nose was, decorated with the well
buttered grains. She was sight, and
at the end of the table she bred fam

And she was in repose not by any
means a bad-looking woman; but in

husbands, and is widaw again. What
became of the poor men never knew.

DEAF CHILDREN LEARN MUSIC
Interesting Experiments That Have
E1et with a Successful Re-
suit at Detroit.

An interesting work with deaf chill
dren is being done under the direction
of the supervisor of music in the De-
troit public schools. A class from
which the best results are obtained
consists of about six pupils. The chill
dren gather around a piano, resting
their hands and in some cases their
arms upon the instrument. Soon after
a piece is started the children will be-
gin to count in correct time with the
music, catching the accentuation of
beats through the vibration of the
wood. Occasionally child would seem
to progress beyond the mere response
to time and count aloud with some APP
Proclamation to the tune, says the Buff
falo Express.
When this fact was observed by the
teacher the pupils were told to repeat
the words ''baby, baby" over and over
and at the same time a lullaby was
played on the piano. In short time it
was noticed that nearly all the children
with whom the experiment was tried
indicated the air with more or less dis
tinctness. Still another experiment
was tried by singing the scale into thu
ear of boy and playing it on the piano.
After a few trials the pupil was able to
sound the notes as we'll as could many
children with unimpaired hearing.
These tests seem to indicate that sing
ing with some degree of accuracy NAV
be taught to most deaf children. If
such proves the fact a new pleasure and
a new educative influence will come
into their lives.

Dan Dwyer=-Dan Lyer.
E E. BRArNrRD.

Last week the HERALD stated that
q dispatch was received by Mr.. Royce
from Dan Dger stating that MIR.
Dykes had resigned from the con-
gressional nomination. The same
dispatch wsa cent by DSer to other
cities in the district Subsequent
events proved that there was no
foundation for the telegram. for Mr.
Dykes is still in the field.
There are some very peculiar fee-
tdres in this congressional campaign.
One of them Is the joint debate be-
tween Mr.. Scott and Mr.. Reeder, for
the former Is one of the best orators
and debators in Kansas, while the
latter is considered one of the poorest
takers in public life Just what is
to be gained by such slaughter of the
innocent can hardly be figured out
It is rumored that but two republi-
cans in the district favored the dis
cussiop, one of them Mr. Reeder, the
other Mr.. Royce. The republican
congressional committee did not fav-
or the discussions, but the two named
above dlsa. A Disguised republican
told the HERALD man that man
would hAva to be - hide bound to
vote for Reeder. after hearing HIM
and Scott.
It is q puzzle to figure out too what
gained by these fake dispatches.

IDLE SOLDIERS.
Only Small Portion of an Army Ever
Comes Into Action in
n Battle.

Modern war is such complex bust
ness, and so many things besides fight
ing have to be done, that a very large
part of an army never fires a, shot.
Even of the soldiers actually opposed
to the enemy, only portion come
into conflict in any battle.
For instance, Gen. Butler must have
had some $4,000 men at the battle of
the Tugela river, yet we are told that
only 10000 troops went into action.
The explanation of this apparently
curious fact is that armies don't fight
now in dense masses like long ago.
The terrible hail of bullets from mag
azine rifles and maxims, as well as
the destructive power of shells
charged with high explosives would
annihilate an army in dense forma-
ton. Hence the fighting troops have
to scatter themselves over line Is,
20 and even 80 miles long.
Of course, the chances of battle
bring it about that, while the fight
ing becomes very hot and fierce in
certain spots, the troops in other
parts of the line don't come into con-
tact with the enemy at all. This, is
why certain battalions lose an appaIl-
ing number of men, while others come
off with few casualties. In the great
battle of Koeniggratz = the biggest
battle of this century-it is said that
$4,000 Prussians and $4,000 Austrians
did not fire single shot.

The "Good old Times. >,

In reviewing The Early Married
Life of Maria Josepha, Lady Stickney,"
the London Spectator comments on
the light in which drunkenness was re-
garded at the beginning of the cen
fury. There was christening of twins
and rejoicing among the neighbors,
tenants and laborers. "AIl the guests"
says Maria. ''were as drunk as I ever
had the pleasure of seeing anyone"
Among the laborers, however, that ex-
tent of intoxication was not reached
which causes men to be swine" Lady
Sheffield. who received this account OF
the festivities. replies: Il would have
given a great deal to be present; there
is nothing love so much as such sort
of festivities where one has the salts

ones friends happy as we'll as drunk"
In London, she declares, when you
give q ball you affront many people,
please a few. make many drunk and
t.oursen miserable.7

Burglar 10 Flight in
a Fright.

"Of all the outlandish weapons ever
employed in a fight" said business
man, according to the New Orleans
Times-Democrat, Il think / brought
the most fantastic on record into play
one night lately. Myfamily are away
on visit, and 1 am keeping bachelor
nall out at the house. was aroused
at about three a. N. by a noise some
where in the region of the dining-room,
and thinking | had shut up the dog
there 1 jumped up very foolishly and
came downstairs in my night clothes,
without so much as a pocketllnife.
When I opened the dining-room door
1 was startled to see a big, rough-look-
ing man bending over the sideboard at
the far end of the room, and after we
had stood there en- tableau for mo-
ment the fellow made a rush at me.
I leaped back into the hall and glared
around for weapon. On table near
by were a dozen incandescent light
bulbs, which 1 had brought home to re-
place some that had burned out, and
[ grabbed one Of them and threw it at
the burglar. Ithit the door casing close
to his head, and to my amazement ex-
ploded with a noise like young lyd-
dite shell. I suppose it was a still
greater surprise to the other fellow,
for he let out yell and broke for the
rear, followed by rapid-fire bonn
bardment of 16-candle power mean
descents, which continued to chuck at
him as long as he remained in range.
They smashed against the furniture
with a series of crashes that alarmed
the whole neighborhood, and have
been gathering up fragments of broken
glass ever since. The burglar must
have thought was chasing him with
hand grenades.n
