injured at the viaduct near the sash

is now lying in St Anthony's hospital.
From the developments during the day
the company's physician believes there
is a chance for recovery.
Smiths injuries indicate that he
struck his head upon something while
on top of the car. and he suffered con-
cussion of the brain. but escaped with
out fracturing the skull. The cross
piece he struck evidently caught the
side of his head. which indicated that
he was turned in a direction that did
not permit of his seeing the obstruc-

but was semi-conscious this afternoon.

of foot ball has been more or less ex-
pected for some time at Augustana
college. il was none the less disap-
pointing when the official decree was
issued yesterday from the presidents
Office that there was no hope of being
able to pull off the schedule this year.
DR.. Andreen delivered the ultimatum
late yesterday afternoon that all con-
tracts would have TO be cancelled and
that all hopes of having team would
have to be given up at least for this
season. DIR. Andreen can scarcely be
blamed for his action as he was placed
in very difficult position by the action
of the synod who passed the resolution
against this most interesting college
sport. But the college is controlled by
the synod and it's commands must be
obeyed.
Bright Prospects are BiiGhted.
The decree issued yesterday was not
altogether expected as il had been
thought possible to play this seasons
schedule in spite of the action of the
synod. on account of the contracts hav-
ing been made prior to the action of
that body. Prospects were bright for
a better team than ever before. but DR..
Andreen thinks his action is for the
best interests of the college for the flu
ture.

The First Tramwavs-

Tramways, as their name implies,
were originally made Of pieces Of wood
laid in line as track for wheels and
had been used from very early times In
collieries and quarrles. 10
The earliest recorded use Of iron was
when ''plateway" was laid at White
haven. We read also of cast iron rails
laid in Coalbrookdale in 1867 and Of
the combination Of an iron tramway
with wooden sleepers in a colliery near
Sheffield owned by the Duke Of Nor
folk, which was promptly torn up by
the laborers, who feared reduction. Of
wages, when the designer, John Carr,
had to fee for his life.
This tramway, which some have
falsely derived, not from 'tram," a
wooden beam or bar, but from one
Benjamin Outram, had flanges on its
outer edge, and it was not until 1889
that the .fange was wisely transferred
to the tire Of the wheel as we have It

An amusing anecdote is told OF Louis
XVIII. Of France
This inoffensive monarch took break
fast one morning; then his ministers
called upon him.
"Well," said the king. show are the
public affairs?'
Getting along very nicely, SIRE"
said the ministers.
"Hum! In that case" said the king.
II think will go and take a walk"
Next morning after breakfast the
ministers called again. 'Well, how do
the public affairs get on today ?" asked
the king.
"Very badly indeed, SIRE" said the
ministers.
"Humr' exclaimed the king. "In
that case l think l will go and take a
walk"
Next day no ministers called on the
king.
What has become of my ministry ?"
said the king after breakfast.
"Sire," said the palace functionary
who was in attendance, parliament
has turned out the ministry
"Ah!' said the king. ''Then It's they
who have taken walk this time, eh?''

One Hens Eggs.

The efficacy of zone cows milk" in
bringing up babies has become an es-
tablished belief. Few are they who
have not at some time heard of the vir-
tues Of this system of feeding a baby,
but that the principle has wider ap-
plication is new thought.
A young architect in one of the large
cities has a little son to whom he is
naturally devoted. The child Is rather
delicate, and his father Is DESTROYS of
nurturing him according to the most
approved methods. The little mans
appetite has to be tempted in every di-
rection but one. Eggs he delights In
and gladly accepts one at each meal
The father was born. on farm and is
inclined to be suspicious of any eggs
found within city limits, but not long
ago he discovered what seemed to him
an honest marketman.
"Can you furnish me with fresh
eggs?" he demanded.
Eyes, sir; we can," was the answer.

Perfectly"
"Laid the same dayY'
''Well." said the man doubtfully, 1--WE

''They must be perfectly fresh," re-
capitulated the fond father. "They
must be three in number. They must
be laid the day they are left at my
door, and they must be one hens eggs"

No One or Every One, According as
We Ask the Question.
Who is insane? No one or every one,
according as we ask the question. No
one in an asylum will admit that he or
she is insane. Each in turn would re-
sent such an insinuation. Certainly
no one out Of an asylum will assent to
the charge Of being insane. And yet
both parties readily recognize the in
sanity Of others. An intelligent old
lady, once the head of a ladies' SEM
mary, wished me to discharge her
from an asylum, alleging that all the
patients in the hall believed her sane.
Seven women were privately asked
their opinions as to her sanity, and all
declared that she was very insane,
while asserting their own sanity. When
Informed of the result of the test the
old lady accurately described the spe-
cial pecularities Of each Of her ac>
cusers. So in every community the
private gossip is much concerned about
those who are called strange" "pecul-
lar" "deranged," unbalanced" eight
headed" "a little off, tout of gear"
wrong in the upper story" "cranks."
Few if any escape for lifetime one
or the other Of these epithets. Without
as within the asylum no one recognizes
his or her own mental deviations, but
readily detects the mental alterations
Of others.-Stephen Smith, NJ. D., LII.
