SPORTS AND PASTIMES.

ga fellow doesn't care to do much
but lie around and rest when he
rows sixteen miles every day" said
the oarsman. "You see, the varsity
rows eight miles in the morning and
eight miles in the afternoon. It's
pretty hard work When the morn
ing work is over we are glad to loaf a
while, and after the row at night we
are ready to sleep"
Nevertheless, every precaution was
taken that there be no violation of
discipline. After "taps" the cap
tain regularly made the rounds of the
bedrooms to see that all his men
were there. It was understood that
if man broke training he would be
taken from the crew, reduced from
position which he had worked hard
to attain, be forever disgraced, and
an other man put in his place. But
the college pride of the men, their
loyalty to their friends, their deter
imitation to win, were stronger forces
than all the threats in the world in
urging them to do their best.
II give them all they want to eat, !"
said Ellis Ward, the famous old coach
of Pennsylvania. They "get plain,
substantial food-meat three times
day, if they want it-chops, steak,
roast beef, and plenty of good vege-
tables, but no pastry, pies, or the
like. and not too much sweet stuff.
We aren't troubled with sickness.
Last year one of our boys had a
sprained ankle. He was in too much
of a hurry, and jumped out of the
wagon before it stopped when we
reached training quarters. But he
rowed in the race just the same, and
did his work. The best way to keep
them from breaking training is to
give them plenty to do. Harry
Beardsley in Leslie's Weekly ls

Upholstered furniture may be pro-
tected from the ravages of moths by
spraying two or three times during the
summer with naphtha or benzine. If
you have no regular sprayer, take a
small watering pot, such as is used for
sprinkling house plants, and sprinkle
in April, June and August. These
materials will not harm the most deli
cate fabrics, and the unpleasant odor
soon passes off, if the article is placed
in the air. Care must be taken not to
carry on this work near the fire or by
gaslight on account of the infiamma-
bility of the agents employed.

THE COLOMBIAN REVOLT
Terms That Have Been Offered the In
SurgentS

Senior Don Jose Concha, the Colombian
minister at Washington. has made the fol-
lowing statement regarding the terms Of
fered the revolutionists in Colombia if they
will surrender, and of the existing condi-
tons in that country:
The Colombian government has offered
to the rebels complete amnesty, freedom of
prisoners, help for transportation of the
chiefs and soldiers of the rebel army to
their domiciles, with true security for their
persons and property; reform of the cleo
toral laws, with the intervention Of the
prominent members of the revolutionary
party: immediate convocation of congress
and guarantee of liberty and security of
suffrage In the next elections The Colom-
blan president, Senior Marroquin was not
in office when the revolution started in 1899
and what he offers today is the same he
offered during his first administration in
1898.
The liberal directory in Bogota has ac-
cepted the terms offered by the president,
and great number Of heads of guerrillas
in the center Of the country have surren-
dered, but the leader of the rebellion
abroad, Senior Vargas Santos. has asked for
the payment of the debts contracted in for
eign countries by the rebels, and for the
appointment of several members of the
the government. The Colombian govern
ment has not acceded to these two de-
mandS. The conduct Of Senior Vargas San
tos is not approved by the majority of his
party, and hence this chief has limited his
pretensionS to the appointing of a new cab
met, but the government has not vet an
swered this proposition.
I'm Washington the matter is conducted
by the Colombian minister, who requested
from the rebel leader, Senior Vargas San
tos, the issuance of a solemn protest
against the Intervention Of foreign govern
ments in the Colombian civil war an in
PREVENTION which was originated with the
purpose to weaken Colombia, in order to
decide afterward the controversies of boun-
daries between those foreign countries and
Colombia. The rebel leader has declined to
issue and publish such a protest
THE interior Of Colombia is nearly paci-
fled; the principal chiefs of the rebellion,
Vargas, Tribe and Soto. have left the coun-
try after serious defeats. The only point
at which the war continues with any inn
portance is at Panama. The purpose of the
rebels today Is reduced to that of main
tanning a situation that will make impos-
sible the regular administration Of the pub
lie affairs, especially in the isthmus, and
protecting in this manner the interests of a
neighbor. which has a great interest in
those disorders, to prejudice the
United States against the canal and thus
to prevent the negotiations in this matter
They remunerate the rebels services with
the supplies of arms, ammunition and SOL
diers, with which to kill Colombian breth-
rem, to annihilate public wealth and de-
stroy the hope of progress of their own ma
tive country"
