ATHLETICS IN ENGLAND.
They Arouse Great Enthusiasm and
Produce Strange Trophies.


Athletics attract much more atten-
ton in England than in America. The
people are more enthusiastic, and it is
not unusual to see $1,000 or 10000 peo-
pie attending the games. There are
sports three and five times a week, SO
that an ambitious runner can fill his
trophy room with any number of suit
able prizes. An American champion
has no idea of the reception that awaits
him. The many sports committees at
tend him, and he is shown the hospital
fly Of the cities.
1t is no extraordinary thing to be in
vited to a dinner in your honor or to
stay few days with the lord mayor
of the city. All of these affairs, one
must admit, are great handicap to
his training.
The prizes abroad are, as a general
rule, very valuable, much more so than
In America. They are not wholly con-
fined to silverware, such as cups and
the like, but 1t is nothing extraordi-
nary to see an athlete departing from
the races with a sewing machine or
hatrack, and in some cases l have seen
orders for beds. The lucky competitor,
as rule, can have any article he de-
sires, and, as many British athletes are
married, they generally take the most
serviceable article.-Arthur r. Duffey

Cookery Problems.

Every housekeeper, if she is willing
TO admit it, has some cooking molehill
out of which she makes mountain.
Many say that the word 'stock" in a
recipe makes it impossible to them;
others go down before ''things in
aspic;;" still others tremble at court"
bouillon," and the simple operation of
marinading discourages many others.
1t is good plan to wrestle with any Of
these cookery problems. The marinad-
ing bath, for example, improves meat
or fish that is put in it. If cold meat
is to be used for salad or even warmed
over in ''stew," the marinade gives 1t
a flavor that it would otherwise lack.
1t is merely a dressing made from
three tablespoonfuls of vinegar, two of
oil, teaspoonful salt, one-quarter tea
spoonful pepper, one bay leaf, sprig
of parsley and teaspoonful of onion
Juice. These proportions may be di-
unfinished or increased as needed. The
meat or fish is put this mixture for
an hour or so before using, being
turned several times to absorb the
fiavors. The cod, thus treated, then
boiled, becomes different edible, so
greatly improved is its taste. 1t is
quite worth while for housekeepers to
experiment in directions that appear a
little formidable If only to discover
that they are not SO hard as they seem.

Trivial caunea Of Wars.

History records one war that was
caused by glass of water-the war of
the Spanish succession. A lady, Mrs.
Masham, a celebrated court beauty,
was carrying glass of water when she
was INSTRUCTED by the Marquis de To
rey. A slight scuffie ensued, and the
water was spilled. The marquis lost
his temper, and bad feeling ensued be-
tween the English and French courts,
with the ultimate result that war was
declared. The campaign cost France
many severe battles - viz, Blenheim,
1904; Families, 1907; Audenardi, 1908,
and Malplaquit, 100.
Fully as absurd in its origin was the
war that took place during the COM
monwealth of Modena. A soldier stole
bucket from a public well belonging
to the state of Bologna. Although the
value of the article did not exceed a
few pennies, the incident was the signal
for a fierce and prolonged war. Henry,
the king of Sardinia, assisted the Mo
denese to retain the bucket, and in one
of the subsequent battles he was made
a prisoner. The bucket is still exhibit
ed in the tower of the cathedral Of Mo
dena.

oUEEREsT OF LAWSUITS.
A Highwayman Sued His Partne
For His Share of Spells.

A Highwayman Sued His Partner
For His Share of Spells.
Perhaps the most remarkable suit
ever brought is on the records of the
court of the exchequer in England. 1t
vas filed on Oct. 3, 1925, and it sets
forth very clearly that John Everit and
Joseph Williams were highway rob-
bers.
In its succinct legal phrases the COM
plant says that the men formed a
partnership for the purpose Of carry
ing on business as highwaymen. 1t
was mighty profitable, as was shown
by the fact that Everit sued Williams
for the equivalent of $4,000, "being for
moneys wrongfully appropriated to de-
PENDANTS private purse"
This was the amount In dispute after
the partnership had lasted only year.
Then Everit claimed that he discov-
cred that his partner had not made a
fair division of the spoils.
The action was adjudged to be a
gross contempt of court, and the plain
tiff was ordered to pay all costs, while
the solicitors who served the writ were
fined. One of the solicitors, a man
named Wreathcock, refused to pay the
fine and was sent to prison for six
months. Both plaintiff and defendant
to the action were subsequently hang
ed, one at Tyburn and the other at
Maidstone.

THE WHITE ROBIN.
Am AIbinO Bird That Died Because II
Couldn't Feed Itself

An AlUlnO hlFu 'InaI OlGU because ~
Couldn't Feed Itself.
In tie summer of 1900 some friends
of mine came to me with story Of a
strange white bird that had been seen
several times among the trees Of a
small grove In southern Ohio, the state
in which my home county is Finally
another friend told me that he had seen
a pair of robins feeding 1t, and between
us we agreed that it must be white
robin-an albino.
An albino among men is a person
whose skin and hair are unnaturally
white. Among birds and animals an al
bino is one which is white, differing
from others of its species. A bird or an
imal the normal color of which is white,
or which changes to white feathers or
fur for winter, is not an albino. The
perfect albino has pink eyes and no
color about it, The white robin / saw
was perfect albino.
The rest of the brood Of which the
albino was one had scattered and were
looking out for themselves, but the
parent birds were still feeding their
white fedgeling. The other birds in the
grove took a great deal of interest in
the strange inhabitant, especially the
purple grackles AS the white robin
sat on a bough the grackles would
perch near it, looking at it with their
heads turned shrewdly to one side or
hopping from place to place, as though
to get better view. All the time they
kept up a blaekbird conversation about
the object of their curiosity, clucking
and chuckling away at a great rate.
The white robin did not hunt food for
itself, although it was fully old enough
to do so, but depended on its parents.
When 1t few, it did so awkwardly and
blunderingly and generally seemed to
prefer staying In one place.
A day or two afterward two boys
brought to my Office the white robin,
dead. One of the local papers had said
that an albino robin might be sold to
museum, and / accused the boys Of
having killed the bird on the chance Of
selling it. This they stoutly denied,
saying that they found it dead. took
off the skin for the purpose of mount
ing it and found that the boys had
been telling the truth, for there was no
sign of an injury. The poor robin was
very thin, and its stomach was almost
empty except for the remains of one
bug. I wondered If its parents had
grown tired Of feeding it. / found also
that the reason it flew so poorly was
because its eyes were defective and
that it must have been almost blind.
Had its parents fed it until the time Of
the fall migration southwark the white
robin could not have gone with the rest
and must have starved. The robin was
entirely white, with pink eyes, pinky
white beak and pinkish legs.
Albinism, by the way, is caused by
the lack of pigment, or coloring matter,
in the quilts. Birds so afflicted are usu-
ally not well developed and suffer from
attacks of individuals of their own
species.-Henry Holcomb Bennett in
st. Nicholas.

advancing the new schools interests
seem to think it will eventually solve
at least one domestic problem and that
the competition of different minds and

Topic For the Week beginning Jan.
rs, "Christian Stewardship"
Text, Matt. vi, 1894; Acts
Xxx, IS; III Cor. TX, - e.
John iii, 17-1S.

The Christian doctrine of property,
and the rights of men in property, is:
First.-God is maker and ruler and
owner of all things and all men.
Second.-Every man is obligated to
acquire and use property for his own
needs and those of his fellow men.
Third.-For this acquisition and use
OF goods and things he is responsible
to God and shall eventually give &C
count
On these three principles rests tho
whole framework of human industry
and government. It is view of mat.
tiers different from that held by any
other religion the world has ever
known. 1t necessitates a different adj
justment Of the relations of men in
society from what is possible under
any other system. 1t must revolutionize
human customs and establish a new
order. If God owns and man occupies
the world as tenant or steward and
must work for and account to Him for
all he gets and uses, we have an en-
tirely different conception of things
from the view which has prevailed
outside Christianity. Whatever mans
ability, opportunity and desires, he
must ever have regard for the rights,
needs and wishes of his fellow men.
It is evident that the Christian view
does not entirely control matters in any
Christian land as yet. But great adj
vance has been made in the world since
Christ came. Changes come slowly,
and it is well that they do. Men must
gradually see more clearly and grow
into the new conditions.
This stewardship Of wealth reaches
every person in the community. It
requires that all shall labor in some
manner. Each should labor according
to the full measure of his ability. No
amount of wealth inherited or acquired
can excuse man from doing his share
for other men as well as himself.
Neither millionaire nor tramp has a
right to shirk.
Great emphasis is laid at the present
time on the desirability of Christians
giving one-tenth of their income to be-
nevolence. This Is good as far as it
goes, but should in no manner be
allowed to obscure the truth that all
belongs to God and should be used in
such manner as will best advance His
cause among men.
Business should be done by all Chris
tan men, not for their own private
gain merely or principally. Regard for
the needs Of other men must ever be
kept in view and the will Of God in
general and particular. Herein lies the
key to all future adjustment of capital
and labor.
Christian stewardship means more
than the contribution box by far. 1t
means doing business for the glory Of
God and benefit of men.

won by woman. The classics, the SCI
ences, the "ologies" and even the dead
languages must be as familiar to the
person occupying this position as the
three RS to the schoolteacher.
But in spite of her learning her ap-
pointment to this ancient institution,
one Of the most famous libraries of the
world, raised mighty storm of objec-
ton In the conservative element of Ba-
varia.
DR.. Renz's opponents based their OBJ
jections ON the grounds that her stud
les had been carried on mainly out Of
Germany, that younger librarians were
more desirable, DR.. REM having
reached the venerable age of thirty
eight. and that she lacked the neces-
sary qualifications.
To the first objection DR.. REM re-
piled that, such a course of study as
she wished to pursue not being open to
her in any university in Germany, she
was forced to seek opportunities else
where. To the second objection she an
Swered that no younger women candi-
dates for such positions would be forth
coming so long as such difficulties
were put in the way of the young wo-
men students.
In answer to the third objection she
enumerated the subjects in which she
passed examinations at the University
of Rome, in six of which she obtained
the highest possible marks.
The list of subjects is long one, COW
ering fourteen branches, some on such
abstruse objects as theoretical philoso-
ply, philology, comparative grammar
of the classics and Sanskrit languages,
italian and Latin grammar and moral
philosophy. She adds casually that she
further passed severe examinations in
Greek and various scientific subjects in
the United States, where she held sew
eral university posts. Furthermore, the
examinations were all taken in Italian
or English and not in her native tongue.
The American librarian, man or wo-
man, might well be astounded at the
qualifications required. The doctor. by
this able reply, silenced her opponents.
At least she won the position.-Ph ila-
delphia Inquirer.

DisIoyal to- tine Master.

When Christian Is at peace with
any sin in his own life, when he is
reconciled to any evil habit or becomes
Indifferent to anything in his own char
acter which renders him unlike Christ,
he Is disloyal to his Master. In like
manner when a citizen Of the kingdom
of God is at peace with any sin of So
ciety, becomes reconciled to any evil
habits of the community or Indifferent
to anything inconsistent with the full
coming of Gods kingdom on the earth,
he is disloyal to the kingdom.-Josiah

Sinners are first driven, then drawn,
to God.
The conversion Of sinner is great
er wonder than the creation Of the
world.
Do not think to begin to live when
thou art ready to die.
The worst Of the ways Of God are
better than the best of the ways of sin.
If sin be in the fashion, we must be
out Of it.
We must be sick of sin before we can
be dead to sin.
There is no sin a man can be tempted
to but he will find greater comfort in
resisting than in INDUCING.
If we be not humble for sin, we dero-
gate from the majesty Of God; il we
despair under it, we derogate from His
mercy.
We should fear to think that before
God which we are afraid to do before
man, for God knows our hearts better
than any man knows our faces.-Rev.
