COLUMBIA BAcKERs pIsPIRITED.

The common feeling at Morniugside is that Yale
will defeat Columbia's team by hve or six touch
downs at the least. The one grain Of comfort for
the Blue and White Is that Yale was beaten last
Saturday by West Point. and tkat will therefore
be two defeated teams. each desperately anxious

resigned themselves to the fact that this is an

1t is matter OF congratulation that squab-

conspicuous by their absence. There has been
some mJttering about Greene and Lanson, of

there has been some fear at Pennsylvania that

easy to pick. 1t can scarcely be doubted that
Yale will roll up big score against the New
Workers. for the two teams appear not to be
anywhere nearly in the same class. Harvard
too, has consistently shown far better form
than the Philadelphians and should win by a
very comfortable margin. Between Princeton
and Cornell it is a bit harder TO choose. The

what They Eat.

Nearly every nation has Its own par
t1cular form Of food, and things which
some races would not, as the express
sion goes, touch with the tongs" are
considered by others as the greatest
luxury. & e3:$
For instance, while the Arab eats his
lotus bread and dhourra with the relish
of fresh dates, the Greenlander gorges
himself on animal fat and whale Oil as
the necessary means Of keeping
warmth in his body. Hindoos will not
touch any form of flesh, but live happi
" on rice and rancid butter. An Eng
'lishman is supposed to value beef and
bacon above ali other articles of food.
while the jewellers in the Apennines
live on chestnuts. In ancient days the
Roman emperors were accustomed to
have a peacock served at all great
feasts as one OF the principal daintes,

Mrs. Burton, with her husband. Sir

and two ladies, had driven out Of
Triest to a village dance and were sit

band. In telling Of it she said:
Suddenly, at the top Of roof, I
caught sight Of rat, which appeared
to me to be spellbound by the music.

So we all sat and watched It and
thought 1t most interesting that rats
should be susceptible to music like liz

We all saw it move. We all saw its
head turn and its tail move. and we
kept still. not to brighten it away. The
next day, feeling SO much interested in
the affair, we sent to inquire about it
The rat, it turned out, was made Of

Map making has kept pace with the

crude affairs to the elaborate and ex-

skill has always been necessary to
give a perfected representation. Map
making is now at the height Of its ex-
ceIlence and popularity. The man with
land to cultivate. houses to build or
land to sell must have everything set
down on his map for reference. No
body thinks Of travelling any great dis
lance without consulting map. In

it. for the obliging ticket agent thrusts

kindness, mindful Of the advertise
