BASKETBALL

Friday night at the Institute an
Interesting game Of basketball was
INDUCED ia BIZ the Junior and Senior
teams of the Y. NJ. c. A. Contrary
to expectations, the Junior team
carried off the honors, winning handi-
ly By score Of Is to ..
The game started with some bril-
liant playing on the part of both
contesting teams, which was fast
and furious. After two minutes
play the Juniors scored their first
goal, which was soon followed by
three others. The first haif closed
with the score % in favor of Junior
team.
The Seniors opened the second
hall by scoring points on a beauti-
full throw by Bruce Beardslee. In
this half the Juniors scored three
goals from field and one from foul
line, bringing the final score to 10
points. The work by both teams
was, at times, scientific and many
interesting plays were made; the
Seniors only lost after playing a
strong, uphill game. For the Juniors
Sam Knox scored the most goals.

The earth on which We stand is. no
doubt mighty globe, measuring as it
does 5000 miles in diameter, yet what
are its dimensions in comparison with

then on the same scale the sun should

haps, however more impressive con-
eeption of the dimensions OF the great
orb of day may be obtained ia this
way: Think of the moon. the queen

torrents Of heat. It has, indeed, been
estimated that if the heat which is in

Seeds

Biliousness and constipation are
seeds out Of which spring many OF
the serious diseases that atfiict the
human body. Sound judgment
would demand the immediate re-
moval of this condition before it de-
velops something more troublesome
and difhcnlt to cure. Prickly Ash
Bitters is a reliable cure for consti-
patioc and disorders OF similar
character. It not only thoroughly
emptips and purifies the bowels. but
STRENGTHENS the bowel channels aud
regulates the liver and stomach,

The young man who would succeed
in life must have great confidence in
his own ability to achieve success,
This is foundation stone, and with
out it his building will either never
go up, or will topple. The men who
have achieved results in life have
been men who believed in themselves;
men of large hope and of optimistic
views. Despair never yet Won VIC
tory. Confidence must always pre-
cede action. A young man can never
accomplish anything in the world till
he is thoroughly convinced that he
can. Pessimists have never done any
thing except to put stumbling blocks
in others way. 1t is the cheerful.
hopeful man, the man who believes
that the world is growing brighter
and better, that is of value to the
world, not the man who fears failure,
talks failure, thinks his work will be
failure. The very attitude or hab-
itual condition OF ones mind has o
great deal to do with his success. A
stream cannot rise higher than its
fountain, and to achieve great success
a man must continually dwell in the
atmosphere of high ideals. He must
think upward, work upward, or he
can never reach high goal

Der of varieties of trees have been ex-
hausted practically to satisfy this
steady and largo demand in the in

are used every year fer renewals, and
as only straight trees are used for
this purpose, the tine must come
when our forests will contain no trees
that are fit for this purpose. Former

HOW MOSQUITOES BREED
They Believe In the Good Old Fashion &.
Large Families.

Mosquitoes believe in the good old
fashion of large families. Well they
may; they don't have to raise them.
There is ne walking the floor nights
with the youngest, or sitting up to
mend stockings; no worrying about the
second summer-you know if you
bring them through the second sum-
mer all right-there is no scheming to
put Tom through Harvard or Dorothy
through Vassar. 1t is very simple.
Mamma lays from twenty to forty doz-
en- eggs in some quiet pool along about
O'Clock in the morning, and consid-
ers her duty amply done.
The inherited experience Of ages has
taught her that it is best to mass them
together in pointed eclipse slightly
concave on the top, the eggs being
little end up. The air so sticks to the
mass that it is impossible to wet it. In
sixteen hours the larvae come out on
the under side and begin most active
existence. They are the wigglers that
used to infest the rain water barrel at
the corner of the house Sin the airly
days"
The wiggler has two stages Of exist
ence, larva and pupa. For seven days
it has hard work to get up to the sur
face to breathe, but when it changes,
1t has hard work to get down to the
bottom. Two days later, it's clothes
begin to feel tight, and when all the
back buttons burst off, it crawls out,
using it's old frock as kind of boat,
while it gets its wings Strengthened
out. This is very ticklish job, and
many young life has been lost by
drowning at the very beginning Of
promising career. The fact that so
many eggs are laid would indicate, if
nothing else did, that many mis-
chances await the mosquito at all
stages Of its existence.-Ainslee's Mag
aZiue.

The cooking school was formerly a
standing joke because it was sort
of society" affair, merely diversion
of fashionable young ladies who
thought it great fun to play at cook
ing, just as children enjoy making
mud pies. But now we have cooking
taught in practical and scientific
way. Whether woman be the
daughter or wife of poor man or the
child of fortune, whether she live in
a cottage or a palace it is q great,ad-
vantage to her and to those about her
for her to know how to cook. Much
of the misery of life and, We have no
