may refuse TO digest what you eat.

REV. DIR. MoFFErr, formerly a
prominent Presbyterian divine in
this State and now President of the
Wash-Jeff college at Washington,
Pa, is opposed 20 foot ball, and in
recent publication on the subject
says:
"The football season is over and
careful count has been kept of the
dead and wounded. Twelve young
men are dead and So or more or less
seriously wounded as the result of
the campaign. The total of casual
ties compares with that of many a
battle. The prize ring has nothing
like this TO show. If it resulted in
several deaths a year, popular indig-
nation would sweep it away. A
game that results in such heavy loss
of and injury to the flower of our
young manhood in course of training
for the highest positions in life, calls
for reconsideration"
We believe the Legislature of this
State should pass law prohibiting
the playing of the dangerous game
within the borders of the common
wealth. Prize fighting is much the
preferable of the two and not near
so many lives are lost in the prize
ring.

l turned away, at first a little puz-

was as much of horse fancier as
was myself, and must of course be
anxious concerning the horses condl-
tion. SO thought no more of the cir
cumstance
Az stood outside for few moments
looking away over the course, heard
a commotion in the stable aud present

demolished his stall and | saw he

he became suddenly quiet. As | ap-
preached | saw by his demeanor that

was full of foam.

Alice was there in all her magnlficence
and by her side sat Scoville, leerlng

manner. 1t was hard To tell what

TIE Ring of CheOps.

Cheops was the builder of the pyra-
mid which bears his name, and; as If
to make the structure perpetuate his
deeds for all time to come, the very
stones and bricks of which it is COM
posed are stamped with his name.
Cheops lived nearly $500 years ago, his
great pyramid being an antiquity in
the days when the great nations of old
were in their youth, and yet we of this
twentieth century can have the salts
faction of looking upon the very ring
he wore so proudly upon his finger!
The hieroglyphics on the ring are mi
nutely accurate and beautifully execut-
ed, the ring itself being Of finest gold
and weighing nearly an ounce. The
oval signet bears the name of Cheops,
which is in hieroglyphics in perfect ac-
cord with the stamp on the bricks of
the great pyramid. This remarkable
antiquity was found in tomb at Chi
zeh. 1t now reposes in the museum of
the New York Historical society.
