In the November North American,
President Charles F. Thwing of West
ern Reserve University becomes a
kind of official p~anegyrist of the game
of football, and stamps it with a kind
of official approval. He can hardly be
blamed for doing so. He discusses
"The Ethical Functions of Football, 4"
and when a thing has ethical func-
tons it should be received with open
arms.
May it not be suspected, however,
that what we OF the present day are
fond of calling ethical functions" are
nothing more or less than what used
to be called moral effects73 Such a
suspicion sometimes crosses ones
mind while engaged in the complacent
use Of such expressions. 1t is difficult
to free ones speech of the cam Of the
day, and of all pieces of cant ethical
functions" is perhaps the most widely
spread and the most glibly used. More
ever, when one comes to the specific
functions" which Prof. Thwing men,
lions one finds again that his express
sions have a kind Of uncertain, glim-
mering effect. It may be that football
does represent tie inexorable," and
does bring a man up against the
eternal laws Of the universe" but is
there any sport, business, or amuse-
ment about which the same thing is
not true? Does the young man have
TO go to the football field in order to
fall under the operation of the laws Of
the universe?

III BEFORE THE
N PUBLIC EYE /


Miss Heron, the sister of Professor
George d. Heron, who Is to be mar
ried to DR.. Henri v. Berghall OF Man
istee, Mich, according to the ideas
which made her brothers marriage to
Miss Rand sensational, is a firm be-
lever in "the new and simple form Of
marriage" without a religious cere-
mony. The Rev. W. T. Brown Of Ply
mouth Congregational Church, Roch-
ester, N. Y, probably will be a guest
at the wedding, as he was at Profess
sor Herron's when he, addressing the
bridal pair, declared: "This is the time
and the place for the muse of a poet,
the speech of a god. The office Of
priest or magistrate we're an intrusion
here"
Miss Heron is at the Social cru
SADIE" home established by her brother
at Metuchen, N. J.. When asked for
her ideas on marriage she said:
Il believe that marriage is away
above all earthly forms; that there Is
something too infinite about love to be
measured by earthly spledges-vain,
idle pledges, which are so often brok-
en-. What do such vows count for II
two hearts are ahre with love which
knows no expression from the hps2
So long as 1 know that my views Of
marriage are right It Is a matter Of
total Indifference TO me what neigh
bors may say. Any opposition here
among the ministers or the town peo-
pie would certainly have little weight
with me. They have the right to
think as they please and l shall reserve
the same right for myself. Critics Of

A new device for applying motive
power to small boats has recently been
patented by a French firm. which also
holds patents in all civilized coun-
tries. The new device can be easily
and quickly applied to n boat, with
out special preparation. The screw is
located at the bottom of a cylindrical
shaft, about which it revolves, so that
It may be worked in any direction.
Thus by simply moving a lever the
whole power of the screw may be re-
versed and the boat stopped in an in
slant. With the screw a naphtha CT
gasoline motor is used.

In Vienna the price Of beef, mutton.
and pork is so high as to place these
meats beyond the reach Of the poorer
classes, and for nearly fifty years their
place has been taken by horse and
donkey meat. There are in Vienna 1856
butcher shops which sell horse and
donkey meat exclusively, the price for
the choicest cuts being from 5 to 10
cents a pound, which is much less than
half the price charged for the same
cuts of beef. During the last year for
which the figures are available no less
than 25,640 horses were slaughtered
for food in Vienna. The inspection of
the animals is extremely thorough and
careful, government inspectors being
present at each slaughter house with
full power to condemn any animal.
Dealers in horse and donkey meat, and
acknowledged who offer it on their
bills of fare are Obliged not only to
plainly state the fact. but also to keep
in sight of customers the government
certificate of inspection.

The h~igh-speed electric traction tests
now being made under government SUI

Berlin and zossen have already proved
successful. a speed Of ninety miles an

engineers expect TO run at $50 miles

The fast ms are all made on a stretch
Of track a little more than fourteen
miles In length. It Is a standard gauge
track, level, and nearly straight. Dur
ing the summer the entire track was
relaid and the roadbed put into perfect
condition for the tests. Power Is
taken from a series of three overhead
trolley wires, which are arranged in an
unusual name at one side Of the
track. The cars used in the tests were
also especially built for the work, and
have been fitted up with electrical APP
p~aratus by rival electrical firms. The
front of the cars are pointed in order

France is badly worried over an
alarming shortage in the wheat crop.
The price Of wheat has already risen
48 cents per 22O pounds, while the
price Of a quartern loaf Of bread has
risen from 1875 to 1876 cents. It is es-
timated that the shortage which must
be supplied from abroad will aggre-
gate nearly 100, OO0, 900 bushels. There
has lately been formed in Paris an
International committee the object Of
which is to control the price of wheat
all over the world. This committee
has the support and Endorsement Of
nearly a hundred agricultural societies
in Denmark, Germany, Spain, Austria,
Hungary, Russia, Portugal and Swift
zerland. The committee has opened
permanent offices with a secretary in
charge, and has gone to work in a
scientific way to gather information
and acquire influence which may be
used in keeping up the price.

The model lodging house which was
opened in Milan, Italy, last June, has
proved a great success. 1t is p~atronized
not by manual laborers, but by clerks
and shop assistants. Rooms rent for
67h cents a week. Every lodger must
be in his room before midnight, and
be out again before 9 o'clock in the
morning. Bathrooms are open day
and night, a full bath costing four
cents and a shower bath two cents.
Lodgers may buy food outside and cook
it themselves in the hotel kitchens, or
they may buy their supplies at the
lowest possible price from the hotel
.storerooms. Lodgers are also fur
nished with facilities for doing their
own washing. The building is five
stories in height, with a roof garden
on the top. The building contains $50
rooms, all of the same dimensions,

In no ether country in the world is
the cigar so popular as in Germany, so
much so that it is impossible to raise
enough tobacco in the empire to sup
ply the domestic demand. Last year
Germany imported nearly $22, OO 900

third of it coming from the United
States. The use of the cigaret is rap
idly spreading in Germany. Last year

Wonderful results are reported from
experiments conducted at the Berlin
electrical works with the idea of util-
izing the heat which goes to waste in
the exhaust steam Of a high pressure
or in the circulating water of a low
pressure steam engine. For the pur-
pose Of using this waste heat, so-called
cold vapor engines have been built,
and long continued tests show that
they add an average of Al per cent to
the efficiency Of the compound engines
to which they are attached and that
without adding to the consumption Of
coal by SO much as a single pound

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions.

R. G. Dun & Company's Weekly Re-
view of Trade" says: Business contin-
ues to progress satisfactorily, notwith-
standing heavy losses through the ele-
ments. The new year has been unusu-
ally handicapped in this way, floods and
snow blockades being closely followed
by fires and explosions, destroying muck
property and retarding traffic. 1t is only
another evidence of the solid basis upon
which the. nations industries are estab-
lished that in each case plans tor rebuild
ing on a grander scale were made before
the shock of the catastrophe had fully
passed.
The labor situation has distinctly i'm
proved during the past week.
In the iron ard steel industry 1t is now
being demonstrated that there is such a
thing as too much prosperity. Inc re-
suit is a gradual falling behind with
deliveries and a tendency of buyers to
send orders abroad whenever needs are
urgent
Higher prices were the rule in the
markets for the leading agricultural
staples,
Continued strength is to be noted in
all the cereals and -four.
