Origin OF the Yale Cheer.

This story is told as the origin of the
Yale cheer:
''It was in 'Si. during the football
game with Dartmouth, that the Yale
Captain found to his astonishment that
Dartmouth was in the lead with six
points, while Yale had not yet scored.
"That afternoon the junior class In
Greek was recitipg from Aristophane's
Frogs One of the members of the
class while unprepared attempted to
recite. The Greek letters representing
the croaking of the frog seemed singu.
larly unintelligible. and he remarked
that he was unable to translate that
passage. To which the professor re-
Piled that It was only natural, since
there was no translation. Shortly after
this episode, word was passed around
that Dartmouth was unexpectedly win
ming. 1t was too much to expect un.
dergraduates to recite under such cir.
cumstances, and to the astonishment
OF the professor they all filed out
'Three buses We're procured, and
they hurried toward the field. On the
way 1t was suggested that a good cheer
might contribute toward gaining q
victory. When the queer-sounding
croaking of the Frogs was alluded to
it was eagerly taken up and quickly
learned. Arriving at the field they re.
peated 1t. adding three 'Yales,' and the
game resulted in a victory for Yale In
stead of Dartmouth. The students i'm.
medlately adopted the impromptu
cheer, and ever since 1t has been used
wherever Yale men cheer their Alma

HOnorinc a Noble Cook.

When Charlotte Booker, a colored
cook, died in Nashville few days ago
her employers place of business wls
closed in her honor, and later the fun
eral was held from the white mans
mansion. These facts are cited by
some of the Southern papers to show
that the white people of that section
are not hostile TO negroes simply be-
cause OF the color of the latter, but hate
and punish them only when they ex.
hibit lawlessness and depravity. This
explanation may serve in part. but II
does not take into consideration the
fact that the cook referred to had re
mained for thirty-one years with
family which did her such honor wn-r
she died.
1t is difficult for people who live in q
Northern city TO imagine such thing
as a cook staying for thirty-one years
and We are sure 1t will be generally
agreed that the Nashville man did no,
whit too much in closing his place OF
business ard giving the good old soul q
fine funeral We would ha,f-mast the
days for cook like that and erect
arches for the purpose of pei pctuatine
her memory.

Trading I'm Furs To-day.

First of all, when an Indian arrives
to trade at a Hudson Bay post, then
furs I'm the pack must be sorted. silver
fox worth $500 separated from cross
fox and blue and white worth from
$40 down, according to quality, and
from common red fox worth less.
Twenty years ago It was no uncommon
thing for the Hudson Bay Company
to send TO England yearly 10000 cross
fox skins. 1000 blue, 100000 red. half q
dozen silver. Few wolf skins are
in the trapper's pack, unless particu.
larly fine specimens of brown Arctic
and white Arctic, bought as n curios,
ity and not for value as skins. Against
the wolf the trapper wages war ne
against pest that destroys other game
and not for its skin. Next to muskrat,
the most plentiful fur will be that of
the rabbit or varying hare. Buffalo
was once the staple OF the hunter.
What the buffalo was, the white rabbit
Is to-day. From 1t the Indian gets
clothing. tepee covers, blankets. thongs,
food. From II, the white man who

No Gentleman is Impolite.

1t is good thing to remember In
these days Of hurry and hustle, of com.
petition and business excitement that
politeness, which costs nothing, may
often result in substantial benefits. 1t
never pays to be rude, no matter
whether the rudeness is to a man of
influence or to pauper. In the one
case the rudeness may be followed by
unpleasant material consequences; in
the other one must feel loss of self
respect, and self-respect is valuable
asset.
There are plenty of opportunities fol
politeness in this whirling city of afi
fairs. In the street car, at the theatre,
in crowded Office buildings, In the
streets themselves. you demonstrate
several times day whether you are a
gentleman or boor. And it is quito
beside the mark to say that one has nd
time to bow and scrape to do this little
thing and that little thing. One always
has time. or ought always to have
time, for at least pleasant look. q
kindly word, friendly action. No
gentleman ever forgets his good man

How the Decentralization of Finland
Is Progressing.

From Helsingfors it is stated that
the governors OF Abo, st. Michaels,
Wasa and Uleaborg have been dis
missed. The reason assigned for this
arbitrary proceeding on the part of the
Russian governor general of the grand
ducky is that the displaced Finnish
governors failed to show a proper zeal
In explaining and enforcing the new
law OF military conscription for the
imperial army. They were very nat.
urally, of the opinion that Finnish
conscripts should be drawn for Fin.
land only. The Sviet has a brutally
conceived article on the subject OF
these official dismissals. It denounces
such Finnish officials as Indignantly
mischievous pseudo patriots, and rec.
ommends more sweeping and drastic
measures for the classification of the
Grand Duchy. The volume of Finnish
emigration 10 steadily increasing. Dur.
ing last year 27600 Firms left their
homes, chiefly for the United States

MORE WONDERS OF RApIUM.
Terrific Force in a Tiny Particle of
the New Chemical.

Radium is one of the rarest things
upon earth, and is never found in the
pure state. 1t must be ASSOCIATED
from the other substances with which
1t is combined, by strong, tedious and
costly chemical operations. 1t is OBJ
tained from a mineral called pitch
blende, found in Bohemia, and during
the two or three years that have
elapsed since Its discovery by Mad
nme and Monsieur Curie, of Paris,
they have succeeded in separating out
Of tons and tons of pitchblende less
than two pounds of radium. That is
all that exists, uncombined, in the
world, and even that is not the pure
thing. 1t is mingled with more or
less barium. The Curies do possess.
however. one tiny bit of chemically
pure radium. 1t weighs about half
grain, and is said to be of the size
of buckshot. NJ Curie has declared
that he would not sell 1t for 100000
francs. If he and his wife have a
monopoly of this precious substance,
they are not getting rich out of it.
The demand Is not active. Half a
grain of impure radium in a little
tube is offered in Paris for $4,000.
A thief who should run off with bit
of radium as big as a small diamond
would find that he had caught a Tar
tar. II he kept it in his pocket, 1t
would produce an inflammation that
might cost him his life. If he held
it near his eyes, he could easily lose
his sight. If he handled 1t much, his
fingers would get sore and might have
to be amputated Monsieur Curie is
quoted as saying that he would not
venture into room containing a Kill
ogram of pure radium; for, If he did.
he would probably lose his skin, his
eyesight and his life
1t gives off light also. Pure radium
shines in the dark. although 1t is not
hot like a flame. But, most wonder
of all, 1t constantly projects into
space around 1t streams of invisible
corpuscles, smaller than atoms, with
velocity as great as hundred thou
sand miles per second! 1t Is this
marvellous and ceaseless lombard
ment of its surroundings that makes
radium SO dangerous to handle. The
infinitely minute particles cannot, of
course. be seen, but they affect pho
tographic plates and 1t was In that
manner that the existence of these in

The recent explosion upon the sub.

The fact that fishes, after the loss
of the ears, lose their equilibrium, but
still respond to sounds, led to the belief
that the ear In fishes was for equnli.

the contact of sound waves with their
skin. Now Parker of the United States
Fish Commission has demonstrated
that the fundulous heterocltus hears
after the nervous connector between
the skin and brain is severed.
The city of Nankin, though the south.
crn capital Of China, does not possess

of high officials living In the city. who
one after another came to see and test
It. The result of their investigations
was the setting apart of an amount OF
money to be used in securing like wells
about the city, TO the number of 100.
1t has often been urged that man
could not travel at much greater
speed than sixty miles an hour, as
no driver could stand the strain upon
the nerves. An experienced engineer
has, however, 1t is said, declared that
when man is running his engine ut
mile n minute, he has reached the
limit OF mental strain, and an extra
half-mile minute could not add TO his
task. Further, the same authority
gives the reassuring information that,
If train going at a rate of 100 miles
an hour were wrecked, the conse.
quences would be no worse than II the
speed had been sixty miles.
