The MCznr, Went to Bed.

A foreign nobleman who, if report
speaks true, is somewhat henpecked in
vited some men a night or two ago 10
play cards in his house. The meeting
was a convivial one, and all went
''merry as a marriage bell" 1t grew
late, and fears were expressed by the
party that they were trespassing upon
the kindness of the mistress of the
house, who, by the way, was not pres
ent.
mot at all, gentlemen; not at all.
Play as long as you please. am car
here" said the master of the mansion.
Eyes, gentlemen, play as long as you
please" said a silvery voice, and all
rose Immediately as the baroness stood
before them. But as it is after l
O'Clock the car is going to bed" he
went.

LOVE OF FIGHTING.
It Seems to Be Unborn In the Aver
age Human Being.

&c Seems to Be Unborn In the Aver
age Human Being.
We are all fond of fghting-that is,
we all love to look at fight and some
of us like to be in a fight. But we all
love to see one. There are some super
aesthetic and hyper refined humans Of
both sexes who think they do not like
81 see q. fight. Some of them actually
sDeileve they arg Sincere. But deep
down in the average man and woman
the love of fight exists 1t is ingrained;
1t is congenital; it is in the human ba-
by. When he screams, squalls and
kicks if his will is thwarted, he is fight
ing.
So with the same baby when, grown
up into a boy, he pulls his little sisters
hair. 1t is partly, perhaps, the love of
fighting and partly, perhaps. the love of
giving pain, for cruelty also seems to
part of the makeup of the human
animal. After little brother has fin
ished pulling little sisters hair and she
has dried her eyes she soothes her
wounded feelings by pulling off flies
wings or legs or pinching the cats tail
under a rocking chair OF the higher
flights of juvenile cruelty to which her
brother rises when he ties two cats to-
gether by their tails over a clOthesline,
where they fight till nothing is left but
their tail tips-of these familiar facts
we will not speak.
When brother goes to school and then
to college, whether it be to the English
public school or to the American
public" school, resembling each other
only in name; to the academy. to the
preparatory school, to the university,
he speedily becomes past master in cru
city. In most of these institutions he
must fight. Hazing exists in every col
lege in the country. Even the United
States government cannot stamp it out
at West Point and Annapolis In both
these institutions fist fights under prize
ring rules are of almost daily occur
renee. They are masterful battles, and
they have not a little to do with max
ing stout hearted, stalwart fighters of
our army and navy officers. TO those
who object to these battles the unan-
swerable reply is that the boys are
there to learn to fight and that the way
to learn to fight is to fight-San Fran
cisco ArgOnaut.

Germans claim that poker is an old
German game, which for more than
100 years has been played and is still
being played in some districts of West

two. and there are others still who
would and could possess them were it
not for the tedious work during cold
weather of covering and uncOvering the
sash lights, shOyeling snow and other
disagreeable things. The illustration
herewith presented depicts a handy,
simple and inexpensive device. We
take an ordinary garden frame of four
lights, the average proportion being 6by
II feet, each sash being six feet long by
three feet wide. At the back the frame
ordinarily stands three feet high and
eighteen inches high in front. Around
this ordinary frame we have to make
an outer frame of rough planking, leav-
ing a space between the two of eight
cen inches, which has to be filed in aft
erward with fresh leaves, stable ma
nure or litter, preferably stable manure
and leaves mixed.
Hinged to the back of the outer frame,
as shown in the illustration, we have a
permanent cover for the top. This is
also made of rough planking, is nine
feet long, three or six feet wide, as de-
sired, and six or nine inches thick. AS
will be seen from the illustration, this
is merely a frame packed full of salt
hay.
At the back Of the outer frame and
nine or ten inches away from it is
firmly placed an upright post 6 by 6
inches and rising nine feet above the
top of the outer frame On the top of
this post a pulley is fixed; wire is
run from the front of the outer COW
ering over the top of the pulley and
attached to weight at the back. This
weight can be of any rough material
so long as 1t counteracts or balances
the weight of the covering. 1t is mere
ly to aid in raising and lowering the
covers in the same way as window
sashes are raised. This is very much
superior to mats or litter, which many
people still use, and the danger of
breaking glass is done away with.
Moreover, on a bright day when the
covers are raised-being at the back or
north side of the frame-they act as a
shelter, and air can be much more
safely admitted.
With such a frame and covering the

can be greatly extended. Parsley and
violets can be kept nicely all winter,
and work can be resumed much earlier
in spring. In the illustration one guide
post and wire are shown for the raising
and lowering of two covers. This sim
plifes the illustrations, but if it is de-
sired one can be used for each sash,
and in such cases the covers could be
made stronger.-James T. Scott in

thought he would test the lads intelligence by
putting few questions to him. Accordingly he
