BIG CROWDS At CARNIVAL.
All the Shows Were Well Patronized
Last Night.

An immense crowd filled the carnival
grounds last night. Everybody was
out bent on having a good time.
Every show on the midway did a
rushing business. The performances
We're given in a most excellent manner
and We're greatly appreciated by the
people. The streets have nearly all
dried out and navigation last night
was greatly improved. The free acts
still draw large crowds and with the
thousands of visitors in the city the
grounds will undoubtedly be packed
tonight. - :.

The comparatively modern science of

grafton, says one who sets up to be an
authority on the subject, is to allow moth

Having established this principle" he goes
on to say, then surround these treasures
with a fitting atmosphere" adding: 1T is
this marvellous gift of atmosphere that
makes the treasures (even though they be
commonplace in the eye of the vulgar) eff
fective or ineffective"
But who is to decide what constitutes a
treasurer" For, of course. it is not for a
moment to be inferred that such things are
given rank according to mere cost. That
would not be art. Yet individual tastes as
to treasures differ so widely! There is the
woman, for instance, who cherishes the
products of her own amateur brush, her
'oils" and water colors. as wholly satisfy
ing objects; and the other woman who re-
CARDS with complacent pride her bric-a-brac

surrounded by fitting atmosphere? To
an extent the furnishings and decorations
of a house create their own atmosphere,
but If their owner does not supply the pre-
vailing tone. and that unconsciously, how is
he or she to accomplish the feat arbitrarily ?
These problems are puzzling TO the seeker
after artistic light, and authorities should
make them clear.

PSYCHOLOGY OF FOOTBALL.

Most people have regarded football as a
purely physical contest of an attractive
sort. and have given no thought to the
mental laws underlying it. 1t appears, how
ever. that there is psychology of foot
ball." and scientists have been studying 1t
in the most serious possible manner Their
Investigations have been given not to the
causes which impel able-bodied young men
to engage in violent struggles for possession
of the ball-struggles that may result in
broken necks or backs and are sure to
mean bruises and lameness and at least
temporary collapse. What these scientists
have undertaken to find out is why the
the impelling motive. After due research
and reflection they have reached a conclu-
sion of an anthopological character. There
is in every man. 1t seems, primevaI instinct
which needs an outlet Primeval men en-
gagged I'm various forms OF active strife, not
always by way Of play or sport, but for
serious purposes. their religious ceremonies
sometimes taking this shape. Some of these
serious labors OF our forefathers consisted
in hunting. but hunting now is a sport
which gratihes civilized mans inherent
taste for the out-of-door life. Football or
similar contests were practiced by early man
as tests OF strength incident TO warlike pur-
suits, but modern man still feels an instinct
for them. "In this game" says a writer in
the Forum, more than any other, except
those of the Roman amphitheater and their
modern representatives. there is reversion TO
aboriginal manners, and hence a more COM
plete relapse into latent habits. more perfect
rest of the higher brain centers more thor
ough-going rest and recreation. The game
is more brutal-that is, more primitive
than others. The scene before us is the old
familiar scene OF the past. The lively
chase for goals. as for cover. the rude phys
zeal shock OF the heavy opposing teams. and
the scrimmage-like, melee character of the
collisions awaken our deep-seated slumber-
ing instincts. permit TO revel for a time

AN OLD-TIAIE NEWSPAPER.

A copy of the New York Herald of Nov.
%, 1853, has been handed to the Journal
by its owner. 1t is an eight-page paper
with a small amount of news and what
was probably regarded as a considerable
number of advertisements at that day. but
very meager compared with those the Her
aid now carries. That was before the day
of ocean telegraphs, and there is not
line of foreign news. One editorial para
graph says: I'VE are still without later
news from Europe. The dense fogs which
have prevailed for the last three days ac-
count for the nonarrival of the steamships"
There is a letter OF considerable length
ern Pacific exploring expedition, giving
details Of the expedition and stating that
practicable pass in the Rocky noun
tains had been discovered. The Governor
says: 'In the Cascade range that gallant
and able officer. Captain Mcclellan, one of
my noble brothers in Mexico is now ascer-
tanning the most practicable pass, and in
one month L hope TO exchange congratula-
lions with him on the entire success of our
undertaking" Eight years later this Cap
tain Mcclellan became commander of the
Army of the Potomac.
There is also a letter from John Mitchell,
the Irish agitator and exile, dated Both
well, Van Dieman's Land, April g. 1885,
disclosing his intention to surrender his
parole and his plan of escape. He begins:
'I have now passed nearly five years in
captivity to the British enemy-four years,
eleven months and fourteen days; for my
days have gone heavily and 1 have had
time TO count them. If 1 endure it any
longer fear the iron will enter into my
soul and corrode-I fear the virtue, that is
me-" After announcing his purpose to es-
cape Mitchell writes: 'If 1 succeed In this

FAREWELL Mitchell escaped and came to
New York, where he founded a weekly
newspaper called the Citizen. Later he went
to Tennessee, where he published a paper
called the Southern Citizen, which became
notorious by it's open advocacy OF the re-
| establishment of the slave trade. During
the civil war he was in Richmond where
he edited the Examiner. a strong pro-
| Southern paper. After the war he drifted
back to Ireland and died there. 1t seems
somewhat surprising that hunted fugi-
tive" escaping from British jailers should
have come to the United States-"mighty

Spring Poetry.

The universal impulse TO write spring poetry
IS something more than a newspaper joke 1t is
an inherent tendency OF humanity. Tennyson
might well have put II with his other spring i'm
puses in Locksley Hail. Almost all British
nature poetry is spring poetry. When the public
school teachers required to find an autumn
or winter selection for each OF their pupils to
memorize. they obliged to rely almost en-
tirely on American poets. Even the babies feel

half-old boy, in the tone OF who has made a
