Athletic AppetIfes.

"The actual amount of good roast
beef that n table of athletes will con-
sumo" writes Walter Camp in The
Century, "is something appalling to
the uninitlated. Three members of a
Yale football team once went TO Cam
bridge to watch a match between Har-
ward and some other team. These
three men stopped at n hotel for their
luncheon. Among other things the
spokesman of the party ordered three
portions of cold roast beef. But, SIR
said the waiter, two portions will be
a great plenty for all three of you
The giant of the party looked up bland
ly at the servant and said, You bring
the three portions and then watch us
eat it,
"When the writer was captain Of the
seam, long before the days of special
method in management, the eleven
were to play at Cambridge and, leaving
New Haven the afternoon of the day
preceding the match, went 20 Boston
hotel for dinner and the night. Most
of the men were readily collected at
one or two large tables, but certain
rusher, being late, had seated himself
at a table In distant part Of the din
ing room, and he was told by the man
ager TO order his own dinner. That
boys dinner, and 1t is needless to say
that 1t was without wine, came TO the
extraordinary total of Sl3.S5! lie was
quite able to play the next day, how
ever"

From the rcmotest ages the egg has
been looked upon rs the symbol Of Gre
alton. or new birth. According TO the
Persaas, the world was hatchcd from
an egg at that season Of the year which
corresponds to the vcrnal equinox.
Hence the Parsccs still exchange gifts
Of colorcd eggs at the new year festi-
val, which they celebrate at this date
Among the Jews the egg entered into
all the mysterious ceremonies called
apocalypuc and occupied n prominent
position on the household table during
the paschal season. Christianity in.
vested the paschal egg with n new sig
namely, that of the resur.
rection Of Christ, and It was colorcd
red in allusion to his blood shed for
sinners on the cross.
A curious custom in medieval church
es, for priests and choristers to join IN
game OF ball at Eastertlde, took us
rise from the Easter egg. which was
thrown from one TO the other of the
choristers In the nave of the churcl
while an anthem was being sung. Al
a missed egg meant n smashed egg, the
more durable handball was substituted
But the smashing of eggs continued
as a form Of outdoor sport Survlvali
are TO be found among all Teutonlt
and Anglo-Saxon people. A popula
game in England and Germany con
slsts in hitting one egg against anoth
er, the egg that survives uncracke'
winning for it's owner the weaker an
tagonist. until an entire basket OF egg
may have changed ownership. Anotll
er game is to trundle eggs down n hi
or slope, those which reach the bottor
uncracked being similarly victoriou
over the others.

from French gulch last night that the

one day this week.
The confiagration occurred at the noon.
hour while the men were at dinner. II
happened that the engineer and one other
employe did not go to their meals at the
same time the others did, they remaining
at the shafthouse to make some neces-
sary repairs before the afternoon run
1t took them about 10 minutes to make
them. and then started towards the
house. They had only gone a short dis
lance when they discovered that the roof
around the chimney was ablaze.
They Immediately raised the alarm and
bucket brigade formed which extin-
guished the fire without much trouble.
Had the blaze gotten the start of two
minutes more it would have ignited the
paper and cheesecloth ceiling and it is
doubtful If it could have been saved.

written especially for them and con-

trusted to Dan Mason is that of Rudolph
Dinkenspiel, a horse doctor with a
harmless penchant for the society of
young and fascinating ladies. He be-
comes acquainted with Adolph Dinken-
spiel, a ladies tailor, played by Chas. A.
Mason, and purchases half interest in
his business so that he might meas
ure 'em round and round" The advent
of the horse doctor, who cannot forget
his original occupation and methods,
into the establishment Of the ladies'
tailor gives rise to a number Of entan-
clements which are said to be both new
and funny. There is no attempt at high
art in this entertainment which has been
devised simply with the intention of
furnishing amusement and driving
away dull care in a legitimate and po-
lite manner. At the theater tonight.

Anaconda, Noe. 23.-The house or Harry
Denny, corner Of Fifth and Pine streets,
was blown from it's foundation by ths.
terrific windstorm Of last night, and
now lies about Is feet from where it was,
and is to boot tipped over on its sids.
The family were in the building at the
time but luckily, all escaped with only
a severe shaking up.
The structure is one-story affair,
consisting of four rooms. When the
blow came that moved the residence,
Mrs. Denny and cousin, John Gardner,
We're in the kitchen. and the small child
of the Dennys was in bed. Mr.. Denny
was in another part of the house. When
the place began to move a large ice
chest in the kitchen slid across the floor
with considerable force and pinned Mrs.
Denny to the wall. Gardner made an
Intellectual attempt to reach her in time
to ward off the danger. A lighted lamp
next called his attention and in order
to prevent fire, he scrambled after
it and, securing it, threw it into the
street. He then return to release Mrs.
Denny. She had, however. already freed
herself and gone to the assistance OF
the child, who had been unceremonious-
ly dumped out of bed by the acrobatic
feats of the house.
After ascertaining that none of the
family We're injured Mr.. Denny sought
temporary quarters for his family, where
the danger was not so great. 1t will
entail considerable expense to right the
house and repair the damage to the fur
niture. g

Anaconda News.

Mr.. Greig. Before he went out, several
small boys came along deeply interested
in some tops they were endeav-
oring to spin.
Now just look at those kind" said
Mr.. Greig, calling the attention OF his
friend to what they were doing.
These Anaconda boys are great lot;
they beat the world on fads. Just now
tops are all the go with them. and the
merchants of the town who keep them.
have been rushed with business in the
top line to supply the demand created
by these youngsters. 1t is surprising,
too to note the size of some who take
a delight in the sport. Many of them
are wee little tots hardly out of their
twaddling clothes. up to great big fell
lows who are old enough to think Of
things more manly than whirling tops.
"Only couple of weeks ago almost
every boy in town had a kite and. while
out of school, their time was occupied
in flying them.
But, really, it is strange thing. and
I have noticed it every year I have been

here. The boys may want tops for a
time, then possibly kites will have the
run, maybe marbles, or some other con-
trivance.
You can never tell when they are
going to buy either. There Is no par
ticular season of the year for them
Some boy will start out with something
new and all the rest will follow him.
The merchants must keep stock of
these contrivances on hand almost all

the kids are going to make run on
some particular thing to furnish them
with amusement. wouldn't be surprised
to see toy pistols all the rage next, but
you can never tell
