CHINESE WIDOWS.

In China it is an unwritten law that
widows should not remarry, and to en-
courage them In faithfainess TO the
memory OF their dead lords the gov
ernment confers on widows over so
years Of age a tablet eulogizing their
virtues
Ii a widow should honor her deceased
husband by voluntarily following him
into the next world, her suicide takes
place publicly and accompanied by
much pomp and ceremony. Afterward
her memory is perpetuated by tablet
being erected to proclaim her dtstin-
guished virtue.

YALE DEFEATS HARVARD.
The First Time in Four Years That
 She Won from Harvard.


 New Haven, May With the re- suit in doubt until the last event was over, Yale on Saturday, for the first time ill four years, won from Harvard i'll the annual dual track and field games.
 The events were closely contested and full of surprises, and the great crowd present was compelled to await the tedious pole vault before it could know the result of the day. The final score was, Yale 57, Harvard A.
 Yale's success was made certain by the unexpected result in the two-mile run. Harvard was thought to have it easily until the sixth lap, when a .Har- yard man in error shouted that it was the seventh lap.
 MT Richardson, who was leading, quickened his pace. Although he was better informed moment later, he did not change his clip MT Feel of Yale, who had not been regarded as danger ous, seemed possessed of renewed yigor, and shot ahead. For two laps the five men left fought desperately, but Mr Feel finished several feet to the good, breaking Yale's record by A Is seconds. Gay of Yale came in third.

Louisville Mans Scheme for Match
 Race Between Catfish.

"How would you like to see eat. fish race? asked tall, gaunt stranger of MT. J. T. Gathright, of Louisville, Ky, as he entered the lat ters office in the Louisville Trust building. I've got pair of good uns that I've been working double, but I think I could get lem in shape to run single an pull you off good, square race. Excitin' I'll bet my shanty that ther's never been 3 hoss race out here at the Downs that'd give one-tenth the enjoyment"
 Before the stranger. proceeded any further, says the Courier-Jo ournal, he gave his name as John Sebree, said that he was a shanty boatman, and that he had heard that Mir. Gathright, as chairman of the committee on ho- tels and accommodation for the Louisville conclave, had been looking around for some little attraction that might be of particular interest to the visitors who stop at the Tented city in Fountain Ferry park during the celebration next August.
 1T thought might interest you in them fish, an dropped in,'' con tinued Sebree before MT. Gathright had time to tell him that he believed the Knights Ten1plars would hardly find it convenient to devote their att tention to contest between channel cats.
 i've named lem Billy and Teddy" the visitor went on. They're as gem tie as lambs an easier to manage than a Jeffersonville ferryboat. Billy and Teddy are both about four years old, I reckon, and I trained lem over year ago to draw a boat.
 How'd I do it? We'll, harnessed lem to the skiff, of course. A catfish's well-nigh the strongest animal on earth for it's size. Maybe you didn't know it. Them two can easily pull

T,he ~Language ,Phone..

To utilize the phonograph in teach ing languages was the happy thought of q well-known teacher. He had more pupils than he could attend to personally. By experimenting he soon found that he could make a s.record'' which would enunciate as clearly and sonorously as his own voice. To-day many of his pupils are learning languages at home. He sup plies each with phonograph, ten records and text book. The book educates the eye and the phonograph the ear. When a pupil desires to have a specific sound repeated he no longer has to interrupt the class proceedings he merely has to stop the motor and move the cylinder back a little. The language phone" as it is called, seems to be capable of indefinite ex- pansion.-Ci Cincinnati Enquirer.
