FOOT BALL NOTES.
Commenting on the recent game be-
tween Portland High school and West
brook High school. the Westbrook Chroni-
ella said: 'There is no denying the fact
that Westbrook expected to hold the
Portlands down to score of 90, and & his
confidence probably had much to do with
the poor showing. The teams create. t
fault all season, has bsen It's failure to
practice and profit by advice OF the few
who were willing to put in little time
and teach the boys few points about
the game. That they have done so well
is surprising, but 1t only proves that
though light. the material is good
and that with practice even a better
showing might have been made"
Westbrook is booked for a game with

or that her parents may object or, worse

there and alone. He is happy.
This is a year after marriage. he is
ringing at the door. His face is un.

unblacked, his hair unbrushed. He rings
again in exactly ten seconds. He gives
the bell a short, petulant pull. He is

MUSTARD AND VINEGAR.
Have Been Known FPsm Earliest
Days and Never Lost Favor.

nave necA AAO"n from haKb9bu
Days and Never Lost Favor.
Both us condiment and as medicine
mustard has been known from very early
days. 1t was also used by the Saxons
mixed with honey and vinegar, after
which it was simply pounded in a mortar
and passed through Il sieve. In the reign
Of George l IL woman Of Durham hit on
the idea of grinding the seed in q mill
and sitting the flour from the husk. and
this method is still employed
Two varieties of mustard used are the
black and the white. The black is q tull
annual, with bright yellow flowers, fol-
lowed by seed pods n half inch long
containing reddish seeds, and is supposed
to be the same mentioned in the Bible
as .he tree which grew from "a grain
of mustard seed" as the plant grows in
the Holy Land to the height of Is feet.
The seed pod of the white variety Is
much larger than that Of the black, and
the seeds are larger and of bright yell
low color. This Is the variety used In the
salad known as mustard and cress.
In the modern system of mustard max
ing the two varieties are mixed together,
the black containing volatile oil, sulphur
and nitrogen. which supplies the pungent
flavor, the white adding the acrid taste.
Thi; pungent oil is not developed till the
mus tard is moistened by the addition Of
water, which sets up kind Of fermenta-
ton. 1t should be remembered that boil
ing water does not have this effect. SO
that cold or lukewarm water should be
used. Cheaper mustards contain larger
quantities of the white seed and also
wheaton or starch -four. The favor is
less sharp and bitter than the pure mus
tard. but it keeps much better.
Vinegar is a diluted form Of scetic acid
and has been known from the earliest Pc
riod. Wine vinegar is made from wine
lees and inferior wines. principally In
France. the finest being obtained from
white wines. Male vinegar IL procured
from an infusion OF malt which has pre-
viously undergone fermentation or from
apple cider. Vinegar in the form of 10.
tons is valuable external stimulant.-

How any great pianoforte player keeps
his hands supple has often been n matter
for wonder, but NJ. Paderewski, the king
of pianists, revealed the whole secret.
'"The night before play 1 turn my hands
over to my valet, and he rubs my fingers
until they Jingle" declared NJ. Paderew-
ski. Then he takes one finger after the
other and turns and twists it in the palm
OF his hand, always turning the one way.
That makes the fingers supple and keeps
the knuckles in good working order. Last
he rubs the palm of each hand very hard
as hard as | can stand it. Just before
go on the platform to play have basin
of hot water brought to my dressing
room. In this immense my hands. Hot!
l should say so; just about as hot as it is
possible for n man to stand it." So this
is the way it is done.

He Didn't Ask.

He is a small boy who likes to have
the things that he wants, and he is dip.
lomatic in getting them. The other day
he had gone out to make n call with his
mamma upon an old friend.
"Now, dear" said mamma as they
stood on the doorstep, remember that
you are not to ask for anything"
Eyes, mamma" answered the small
boy.
Il have been busy almost all the morn
ing making crullers," said the friend al
she entered the room and greeted them.
A beatifc expression spread over the
small boys face.
II like to hear you talk about crullers,"
he said, with smile of more than child
like innocence.
"Why, are you fond Of them" asked
the mammals friend in pleased tone.
"Oh, yes, very" said the small boy,
locking, if anything, still more innocent.
~ didn't ask for them, mamma" he
cried in Il tone of indignant protest as
the door closed on the cruller maker,
who had gone to bring in a sample

REMAIN AS A REPORTER.
His Views on Women Criticized Z
CASTOR Deschamps.

CASTOR Deschamps.
"Write an article, sir, upon Abou-Mo-
hummed- al Cassem ben Ali ben Moham-
med ben Gilman"
That was the assignment given in 1855
to a young man who was looking for q
place on Paris newspaper.
"In short, sir" said he. smiling, you
want an article on Hariri?"
Precisely" said the editor. go
ahead"
So he went ahead and wrote 4 splen-
did story on the great sheik who -four
ishea in the eleventh century. But in
order not to discourage the bank clerks
and blacksmiths who dream of glory
IN the domain of journalism" it may be
we'll to whisper the fact in strict conf
dence that the young man in question
was Ernest Renan and that the newspa-
per was the Journal des Debats.
Remains next assignment was the Paris
exposition of 1850. He treated the great
fair with severity and even heaped ridi-
Guile upon it. He despiscd expositions.
For him they were the height of frivoli-
ty, tending toward degeneracy. And,
holy Susan. he blamed the women for
chem all. There is no doubt whatever
said he. that at the present time femi-
nine instincts occi:py more space IN the
general phySi"gnnIIy al the world than
they did formerly. The world is more
exclusively preoccupied just now with
frivolitieS that formerly were looked
upon as the exclusive property of wo-
men. Instead of asking men for great
achievements, bold enterprises and hero
ic laborS the women ask them for riches
only, to satisfy vulgar taste. The gen.
eral movement of the world has put itself
at the service of the instincts of woman,
not those splendid instincts through
which they display, more clearly than
men can perhaps, the divine ideal Of our
nature. but the lower instincts, which
form the least noble portion of her voca-
ton"
CASTOR Deschamps of the Figaro, COM
menting upon Remains remarks, recently
charged the woman Of the present day
with doing her utmost ''to gather the ap.
pies all the apples, that Eve the blond
left hanging on the branches Of the for
hidden tree."-New York Sun.

Study German.

German should be.the first foreign lam
Euage studied in our schools, says Will
liam Cranston Lawton in The Atlantic.
The tenth year is quite late enough to
begin it. In four or five years it could be
really mastered as a working tool. Nor
should the best literature be long post
poned. The supreme masterpieces. in
deed, Faust, Wallenstein, Nathan, are
i'll suited for children. Most of "WiIhelm
TelP' or Hermann and Dorothea" could
be read in grammar schools. But perhaps
the greatest wealth of the German speech
is in ballad and lyric. The vocab ulary of
this literature also is very close to the
hearty, homely Saxon English of our
own homes and hearths. Scores, if not
hundreds, Of such lyrics MS Uhland's
should be stored in the memory Of every
child Of IA Oh Il.

Infantry Under Fire.

In battle it is not the number Of men
who are disabled In the course Of days
fight that tell upon the morale Of troops.
but it is the losses which may be incurred
within a comparatively short time that
tend to demoralize and unnerve them.
For example, corps of 10000 men may
lose in days fight 10000. one-half its
number. without being demoralized. but
should they l0se onr-fifth of their num-
ber-say, from 5000 to- 1000 men-in the
course of half an hour their morale would
surely he destroyed.-Cnptain Zalinski in
International Monthly.
