The Wedding Guest.

Whenever you're a wedding guest
 Be jolly as you can, EndeaYorfng your level best
 To be funny man." Don't get the notion in your head
 That you were bidden there TO see an earnest couple wed
 And merely wish the pair All peace and joy along the way
 That they have just begun. Q! no, be gay! Remember, pray,
 A weddings simply fun, A bride and groom are often prone
 To take a sober view Of life and duties like their own, And so it's up to you To counteract this sense of gloom
 With your peculiar mfrth So just Lombard that bride and groom With jokes for all your worth. Displeasure they, of course, may show At some things that are done; @ Don't mind them, though; they ought to 4 weddings simply fun. You may begin by throwing rice j. And shoes, and after that An ancient egg or two are nice
 And come in very pat. Of course their carriage should be
 decked
 With placards weird and queer; To this the bridegroom may object, But bang him on the ear! If after that the silly wight
 Should still kick up his heels, Explode q stick of dynamite
 Beneath the carriage wheels. This move will take them by surprise, If 1t Is neatly done, And surely make them realize
 A weddings simply fun.

What would you give them instead. and can the game be improved? Yes. certainly, it can. Go back to the foot ball that has been played by genera tions of boys who were not milksops by any means, and get rid of the bru- tai and foolish features that have been adopted during only recent years. In England the game which more nearly resembles ours-only not so bad-the
 Association game, attracts as great crowds as ours do. but it is played pro- fessional, by openly (not covertly) paid players, who play for money and for no other purpose. Their other game, the Rugby game, as played at schools and the universities. is an open game replete with sBilful kicking (of the ball, not of prostrate bodies) art ful running. dodging. and passing, and furnishes all the needed requirements for athletic vigor and manly exercise and courage, and fully and exciting spectacle.
 But if you are going to keep up our game, do at least reform it. Men who regret the abuses have said to me, You can't stop them-they all do it. I said: You can stop it. Let the re- fierce send out of the game any player detected in foul play and do not allow fresh substitute to take his place. But, says he. that would lose the game and spoil the fun" Of course it would. But my claim is that the player and his side would probably never lose another for that reason. The remedy would be eficacious. Does not a referee who awards a prize fight on q foul blow spoil the fun? Of course, he does, but 1t is the rule neded by the brutal sport, and it is enforced. Dis qualifying player for foul play, and then allowing a fresh and oftentimes. better player to take his place Is a farce. Such a dirty player should be made to suffer, and his side should be made to suffer by having him forced back to the obscurity from which he had emerged into celebrity.
 have spoken hitherto from the point of view of the spectator. I have no boy to. care for, but what am to think of parents, guardians, and schoolteachers, many of whom against their own better convictions are forced by ill-judged public opinion to coun- tenance these evils, these dangers. these expenses, and to allow their sons, their wards, or their pupils to play such a game to the prejudice of their bodies, their minds and their educa- tion? Do not blame the boys They furnish what they are encouraged to think is wanted of them. The blame is on the parents and teachers and public opinion. In writing you this I might myself behind the signature of Jus tice, or "Senex," or Wisdom but feeling strongly the justice of at least some of my opinions, sign my own name.

AN INTE # KSrING NUT.

A lawsuit which has been brought in the State of New York revives an, in- teresting story. The heirs of a negro named Downing have instituted pro- ceedings to recover certain lands in Oneida county which had been convey ed to their ancestor by the celebrated abolitionist Gerrit Smith. Between 1S4O and 1850 Mr. Smith owned a consider able tract of land in Oneida county. He was at that time, and had been for years, contending for the abolition of slavery. He was convinced that natu-. rally the negro race was in every re-

spect the equal of the white race, and that they would prove it whenever they had the opportunity. In order to prove his theory as to the capacity of the me- grOes he conveyed farms of from eighty to 120 acres of land in the town of Flor enee. Oneida county, to the heads of about eighty negro families which he selected in various parts of the State on account of their thrift and industry, be- ing the most worthy negroes he could find. These families eagerly accepted Mir. Smiths benefaction, and created a negro town of about three hundred per sons. The undertaking excited great interest at the time. Abolition socie- ties supplied the Oneida colony with money, farming implements and house hold goods in great abundance. But the experiment failed. The negroes proved shiftless and indolent, and as soon as their white friends ceased to support them they parted with their land at any price it would fetch and returned to the places whence they came. At the expiration of four years only one negro family remained in Flor ence. The Downings, who are now su- ing for the recovery or some of this land, are descendants of one of these families

do not buy articles of this kind. The real features of the fair to them are ''The Pike and sporting events. These are patronized in immense numbers. They gaze at the foreign exhibits with a passive, casual interest, enjoying them as a spectacle, but their money is all expended in other directions. Rrac- tically every sale among the highest class of foreign exhibits was made to visitors from the eastern States.

ABOUT TIM E.

The good that men do lives after them, and sometimes gets applauded by cold monument. The good that women do lives after them too, but is not likely to get applauded by a cold monument. The first monument in rec ognition of the heroism of a woman in the civil war is to be erected soon by the veterans of Illinois at Galesburg. 1t wifi be iii honor Of TMrs;. la frg A. Beckerdyke, known to the soldiers as Mother Beckerdyke, who endeared herself to the members of both armies by her work as nurse on the battlefield and in hospitals. The monument is given by some of her boys" It was Mother Beckerdyke who instituted the Cow and hem mission, through which she was enabled to send one hundred cows and one thousand hens to the hospitals of the West. She took charge of hospitals in the South and followed the western armies through .yicksburg. Lookout Mountain. Mission ary Ridge and Chattanooga, tending trends and foes alike.
 Appropriately, the monument is the work of a woman, Mrs. Theodore A. Ruggles Kitson, of Boston. If all the women who held up the hands of the soldiers in the civil war should have monuments the land would bristle with them.

S0ME GEKMAN JEs1iCF.

Attention continues to be directed to the German army in a way that is not very cheering, except that it excites protest which may in time make itself felt. At Dessau a on-commissioned officer and two soldiers of an infantry regiment went to dance. The girls with whom the soldiers were dancing were pulled about and so on by the sergeant. As the pulling and hauling went on the sergeant drew his sword and struck out right and left. The sol- diers finally took his sword from him. The defender of the soldiers before the military court asserted that they had acted in self-defense The advocate for the non-commissioned officer made this answer: Tn military relations there is no self-defense. A subordinate must permit his superior rather to cut him down than to use force against him." The soldiers were condemned to five years Imprisonment at hard labor, in- volving dishonorable dismissal from the army, while the sergeant received the sentence Of three months deten- tiorl, thus holding, his rank.
 The German newspapers don't seem to think that this is even and exact justice. And there are many who win agree with them. @ <. s&&

A Pittsburg bride is said to have been so impressed with the dinginess of the furnishings of the church in which she was to be welded that she surpris- ed the members of the congregation when they came to the wedding by having all the pews reupholstered and a nice, new carpet placed on the floor. Nothing like having things harmoni- ous.

One of the Austrian commissioners to the Worlds fair at St. Louis tells a Boston reporter that European exhib- itors cannot be induced to take part in any more expositions in the interior of the United States. Its costs them a good deal to come here, and they can not afford to come at all unless they can sell us something. This Austrian reckons the investment by European exhibitors at St. Louis at $16,000,000, and he says of the results: The Aus trian display, for instance, was almost entirely of an artistic nature, as there is no attempt made to extend our trade in our industrial products, on which America places a prohibitive tariff. But our art products, although known everywhere as the finest in the world, found no purchasers among the great tarongs from the West and Middle West. Not only do they spend very lit. tie money at the exposition, but they

Bram Stoker. in the course of trib- ute of appreciation to Sir Henry Irving, says that in the matter of stage light ing every scientific artist of his time and of the future owed, and still owes, debt of gratitude to Irving. He first taught them how to produce soft ef- fects with various colored lights thrown one through the other; to use together gaslight and limelight, both open and concentrated lights; to produce si1hou- cite effects by turning down or up cer- tain portions of the footlights, and so leaving the edges of the stage in com- paratively dinner light.

There is displeasure at New Orleans because the Navy department ordered the Columbia to wait for Secretary Taft at Pensacola. When it was decided to test the naval dock at, Algiers," says a New Orleans paper, 'the Illinois was sent for that purpose, and she had no difficulty in entering the river and in returning to sea when her mission was accomplished. The Illinois is a first rate battIeship of 11,525 tons displace- ment, while the Columbia is an un- armored cruiser of 1875 tons. If the Illinois was able to enter and leave this port safely there could have been no danger of an accident to the Colum- bia."

Some one asked President Jordan, of Stanford university, why it is that the two leading educational institutions of California have granted so few doctor of philosophy degrees-onl twenty-five in seven years. Dr. Jordan reflected for a moment, and then said: By wider introduction of the trading stamp principle in higher education the number of degrees could be increased, but with no gains to science and arts.'
