On one of her recent trips to Edin-
burgh a certain steamer carried a pas
senger who retired at nightfall, having
imbibed more of strong beverage than
suited his constitution. His mental
confusion on rising next morning was
sadly intensified when he made the I'M
pleasant discovery that all his personal
clothing was missing.
The steward and his staff were
promptly summoned to his cabin and
were followed in due course by the ge-
NAL captain himself.
The mystery seemed to defy all con-
lecture until the captain asked the suf-
ferer if he had any remembrance of
how he had disposed of his clothes over
night.
A sudden CLEAN of intelligence lighted
the passengers eye, and the mischief
was made apparent to all the onlookers
when he answered.

Before turning in I put them all into
that little cupboard yonder.''

SCHOLARS As SERVANTS.

In many of the smaller hotels of the
Latin quarter in Paris it is no uncom-
mon occurrence for guests to be waited
upon by young men who are actually
graduates of the French universities
and who resort to such domestic em-
ployment in order to gain a living. I'm
like our own varsity students, French
undergraduates are often sons of ex-
ceedingly poor people, who deny them
selves the necessities of life that their
sons may enjoy university training
The extraordinary spectacle is often
witnessed therefore of classical Echol-
ar cleaning boots and scrubbing floors.
Some years ago a young ''factotum'
was encountered at a small town in
Normandy who entered into an elabo-
rate conversation with q traveller con-
corning the relative merits Of Greek
and Latin poetry. Further chat proved
that the servant in question had taken
high honors at the University of France
and that he was endeavoring to save
sufficient money from his tips" and
salary to complete his education and
become a barrister.
A Russian servant engaged in g. large
private house in Moscow recently com
posed a Greek ode after the style Of
Anacreon. The verses celebrated the
dignities and virtues of the family by
whom he was employed and was said ia
be a masterpiece of style, composition
and grace.

HOW HE GOT .srnE LIVINa.1

Recently there died in England a witt
ty clergyman who owed the rich living
of which he was long Incumbent to
lucky pun He was tutor too the son of
a nobIeman and had not long taken or
ders when he attended the funeral Of
the rector of the parish in which the
nobleman's seat. was situated.
The father of his pupil was the patron
of the living and was also present at
the funeral of the deceased rector.
There was young clergyman present
also whose grief was so demonsfrative
that the noble patron was much affect
ed by the sight and asked If the young
man was a son of the deceased gentle
man.
ooh, dear no, my lordl No relation at

man in a surprised tone.
None, my lord. He is the curate. and

It viii no doubt surprise many peo-
pie to know that shortly after his re-
lease from his living tomb Captain
Dreyfus was the recipient of one of the
most remarkable and astounding offers
ever made for the rights of publishing
a book. An enterprising firm offered
him the enormous sum Of 5000, 900, which
was, however, refused. In addition to
this he was asked to appear at music
halls for the salary of $500 a night. or,
if he would accept it, $1,000 a day for a
lecture tour.
Another $500. 900 offer was that which a
firm Of London publishers made to the
Duke of Abruzzi on his return from the
arctic regions for the copyright Of his
account of his polar expedition.
There was quite recently sold in Lon
don copy OF the first edition of Bun
yan's Pilgrims Progress" a book 50
rare that only i've copies are known to
exist three of which are Imperfect. The
bidding, which was exceedingly brisk,
started at s.. 500 and ultimately reached
ST, 600, at which price it was knocked
down to the bidder.

belief in courses for mechanical train

The benevolent founders of the uni
versity became so absorbed in their
great work of philanthropy as to seem
to forget all else, and at the time of
Senator Stanford's death, eight years
ago, everything was in readiness for

ably seconded his every effort showed

ways took a lively interest in the hun
dreds of young people attracted to the
institution from the very first and be-
came almost in fact as well as in name
the mother of the university. She has
been especially attracted toward the fe-
male students. who flocked there in
such numbers, however, that an edict
was issued limiting the number of Co
eds to a certain proportion of the
whole lest there should be too great an
influx of women and the university be-
come a school for women rather than
for men, which latter was the real in
tention of the founders and its evident
purport as a memorial of their son.
Interest naturally centers now around
the only surviving member of the fam
ily Mrs. Stanford, who, as recent
events have shown, still preserves an
undated interest in the object of her
solicitude. One of her strongest char
acteristics is an undaunted courage,
which has been proved in many a night
for the university, and another is her
generosity, as shown in her support of
the institution from her own private
fortune when its regular revenues were
insufficient. Her dominating motives
are the love she still bears for her son
and husband and her strong desire to

It is be ieved the fact that he recently lost his position had something to do with the disagreement. The young woman soon left the house, apparently much excited.
 A few moments later a pistol shot was heard from Eberanz's room and friends ran in to find him dead, with a bullet in, his brain. On the door he had pinned note saying:
 ''This door must be opened only by my sweetheart, Maria Dutter." Near the note was the key to the door. The closet was opened by the police and was found to contain nothing but the young mans personal effects. When the suicide occurred efforts were made to find Miss Dutter and inform her of what had happened, but it is believed she left the city. X

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and women, old and young, rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch ing, protruding or bleeding. It IS also a safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Doan's Ointment is a pleasant, harmless and abso- luteiy sure remedy for all itch ing diseases of the skin.

 The roller polo magnates will hold an important meeting at Clark's notel in Boston at o'clock Sunday, and will get the leagues in shape. The cities interested in the game are Lewiston, Portland, Lawrence, Salem, Manches- ter. Plymouth, Clinton, East Wey- mouth and Brockton. The idea is to organize one big league, and one small CT. one. and in this way protect the clubs from the players who have been getting more than the gate receipts. The game has drifted back to it's birtn- place. as is usual every five or six years. and the outlook for a good win fer's sport in this section of the cOun- try is very good. The. magnates are ali invited by Prof William Parsons of Lawrence. a polo winner from the lheadwaters.
 An attempt was made to have polo here this fall. but the projectors were unable to select a suitable place. St Peters temporary church hit the eye of the polo men as being an ideal place. but las services will be held there for some time yet. and as the present church may be the site of a future parccllial school. the idea of engagIHg the old church. was abandoned.

 Three Points for Field Goal.
 At a meeting of the basketball com mittee of me Amateur Athletic union held lin the, oAfcetof ]! E1Snlliyan, the Following changes made -in-t the A A. U. official rules:
 Scoring-The committee felt that a field goal should be worth more than twice as much as goal from the foul line, so decided to allow three points instead of two for a field goal, the goal from foul line remaining the same.
 Dribbling-This rule was fully dis cussed in all its phases. It was decid- ed to eliminate the calling of foul for throwing for goal at the end of a dribble, but to substitute the follow ing: If a player dribbles the ball and throws a goal it shall not count, and the ball is. to be thrown up ill the. cen ter If zhe lamisSes it thess bah is in play. They alsb S1s 1scided that Ias sdElbble is. two or smere sbeunces, and atliat it shall not be foul for a man to catch the ball with both hands and tumble, alidwaits to bounce on the floor once and catch it aagin with both hands.
 It is a foul to ,dribble with two hands twice. /Is! .
 Substitute players-Players only may be changed during the intermis- sion between the halves. except for sickness Or injury. "A player once taken out of the game cannot play again in that game.
 When the whistles of the referee, umpire and scorer sound simultan- eously, the referee shall decide which one takes preference.
