Cost of College Sports.

In order to place eleven young men
of Yale in the field against Princeton
and Harvard last autumn S2G,996.O6
was spent, or more than $1,000 head.
To fit eight youths to row against Har-
ward, a test of twenty minutes, cost
Yale s16,626.S5, or $1,000 a head, not
counting the cockswain. This is boat
racing at a cost of the best part Of
$1,000 a minute.
The football men were equipped with
the greatest possible care. Their shoes
alone cost $1,1S9, a bill for foOtgear
which would indicate to the rank out
slider that a team of centipeds was in
training. Uniforms and the armOr Of
the football warrior cost S3,735.52, or
nearly 500 for each Of the squad. Ho-
tel bills and meals away from the train

A SHIPS DOCTOR.
The Things For which He should o.
should Not he Paid.

Should Not lie Ihtu'
A correspondent Of Lloyd's Weekly
has expressed the views Of ship doc
tor In the following words: Many
travellers are in doubt as to the po-
sition of the ships doctor in regard to
bis remuneration from passengers for
services rendered. The merchant ship
ming act euacts that every foreign 60
ing vessel having hundred persons on
board or upward shall carry on board
MS part Of her complement a duly
qualified medical practitioner. Further-
more, an emigrant ship. e., a foreign
going vessel which carries hfy or
more steerage passengers-must nave
a medical man, irrespective or the
number Of crew or Of other passengers
carried. The salary Of the doctor on
board is commensurate with these du-
ties to bis ship. To any passengers
who are suffering from ordinary forms
of seasickness and its concomitant
evils or who receives injuries when
are In any way due to the snip the
doctors services are free. For any
sickness contracted before sailing or
during voyage which Is not connected
with the above named conditions he ID
entitled to remuneration at the same
rate as he would receive on shore. OD-
yiously It would be as unfair TO eA-
pect that his services to passengers
should be rendered gratis az 1t would
be for any visitor In a hotel or traVel-
inc on a railway to expect to nave
medical attention free in any illness
for which the hotel or railway authori-
ties could not be held responsible.
The writer Of letter to the London
Lancet says that the case OF the ships
surgeon is stated with accuracy IN the
above sentences and adds that snip
surgeons are of two kinds-trst, those
who after they have qualified take
such q position either for health or for
Measure. and, second, those VINO elect
TO make sea life permanency.
The pay of the ships doctor varies
from $50 to $50 a month. This IS TOT
duties to officers and crew. AS regards
passengers In relation to the surgeon
the following groups will include all;
First, the passenger who takes the
initiative by remunerating the surgeon
perhaps handsomely. for any services
rendered; second, the passenger VINO
asks for his bill and pays 1t II reason
able; third, the passenger who, travel
ing for the first time, does not kno"
whether to ask for his bill or walt foi
| 1t to be delivered. but is pleased 10 D'
enlightened on the matter; fourth, the
passenger who clings to the old um'
notion that the surgeon is there solely
for the benefit of passengers, and, nfth
the passenger who never intends t'
pay the urgeon.-Medical Record.

Whom the Gods Love,

There are two standards Of measure
ment of human life-the one by years,
the other by achievement. Measured by
years, Sidney Lanier's life Of less than
twoscore was a broken column; meas
ured by achievement, his life is not yet
ended-he is immortal. Robert Burns
died at thirty-seven, Byron at thirty
six, Poe at forty, Raphael at thirty six,
Lanier at thirty-nine. 1t is whom the
gods love die young. And yet who
shall say that the Scottish plow boy,
or the author of "Childe Harold" or he
who sang of the Raven" or the paint
er of the TRANSPORTATION, or the COM
poser Of Centennial Cantata," do not,
one and all, still speak to US in voices
whose echoes will command enraptur-
ed listeners away down the centuries

,,-ro,. Tn the Middle Ages.

In the middle ages, when steel ana
silver mirrors were almost exclusively
used. a method Of backing glass for the
same purpose with thin sheets Of metal
was known. Small convex mirrors OF
glass were made in Germany before
the sixteenth century and were In de-
mand until comparatively modern
times. They were produced by blow
ing small glass globes. INTO which
while they were hot was passed through
q pipe a mixture Of tin, anthony and
ros'n. When the globe was coated
inside It was allowed to cool and was
afterward cut into convex lenses, which
formed small but we'll defined Images.

POSTHUMOUS PRIVACY.
Rummaging Among the Letters OK
the Famous.

the Famous.
There Is no question of literary ethics
on which opinions differ more sincerely
than the degree to which the private
life of a great man rightly becomes
public property after his death. Nearly
200 years ago Pope complained that
Curl. the publisher, by his practice OF
selling on the letters and remnants or
dead authors had added new tetror
10 death. 1t Is no new terror now. we
are familiar with such proceedings,
and the majority Of us are content
while enjoying the last indiscreet rev.
elation to utter few conversational
protests, which prove the delicacy OF
our feelings and encourage the circula-
ton of the book. A few who do not
feel so secure in their insignificance
from similar exposure. who, like
Tennyson and Thackeray, foresee an
interminable series of biographers,
each more ruthless than the last IN
rummaglng for the unrevealed, may
protest with passion and take steps TO
prevent the violation Of their postum
NOUS privacy and for doing so will think
them affected, some silly and some the
only men who show true dignity. In
fact. on this matter every shade OF
opinion is represented, the scale being
marked at one end by those who habit
ually inveigh against "the vulgar and
| Unsuitable curiosity" Of the public and
nj the other by editors like Mr.. wei
lington Wack, who in his preface to
these old love letters laments over 1.-The
! insatiate nav of the scrap basket"
from which he has snatched them.
For our curiosity even when trivial,
there Is a good deal to be said. 1t Is
natural to want to know as much us
possible of the character Of the great
! men who have nodded our thoughts,
directed our feelings, shared our expe-
riences. and to derive pleasure from
knowing their habits and how they
lived through an ordinary day Is as
natural as to enjoy hearing such de-
tails about absent friends. But to
publish the secrets of the famous re-
ouires more excuse than the fact that,
being dead, they cannot feel shame or
distress. Disclosures, if they are not
intended as exposures, must throw
new light upon their work and char
acter or upon events or bring as
warranty some gift Of beauty or
knowledge to the common memory.
The presentment Of publicity is an
unwholesome burden to carry through
life. and the revealers Of private letters
and papers, who intensity 1t, are re-
sponsible for inflaming the self con-
seriousness of authors and of every one
who comes near them. Let them look
to 1t that what they publish has sound
compensatory value, for we are paying
for the amusement they offer by q loss
Of naturalness in our writers and art

A DEEP SEA GLUTTON.

Fish Twice Its Own Sine

This Marine W. NHas
Fish Twice Its own stEe'
sSThat one animal can devOur another
twice its own size at a single swallow
IS n statement that may seem as in
credible as any fish story ever invent,
ed" writes DR.. Sanderson ChriStison.
Nevertheless II Is true of certain fish
.s. So far as known such fishes are In
habitants Of the deep seas, where utter
darkness perpetually prevails, with an
unvarying temperature almost as colu
as lee and a pressure ranging. accord
Ing to depth, from a quarter to three OF
-four tons upon every square inch Oh
their body surface. The deep sea is
commonly regarded es commencing
where the rays of sunlight cease TO
penetrate. which is estimated TO be less
than 1900 feet below the surface, and
:aay extend to twenty times that dis
lance or even much more down to the.
bottom Of the ocean. Fishes have been.
Siredged from below $1,000 feet.
"a deep sea fish. the Chiasmodus nj
Ger. six and flve-eighths Of an inch.
long. has been found to have swal-
owed another fish ten and half Inch
rs long. The stomach Of the deyourer.
ia stretched as thin as gold beater's
kin. 1t has sharp, hooked teeth, when
cross each other from opposite sides OF
the mouth and usually point backward.
According to Guntber, the fish after
having seized its victim with its capa-
cious and very movable jaws partly
presses 1t down as q snake would DO
and partly draws itself over 1t. Inc
prey Is received into an esophaguS ana
stomach the membranes Of which are
as extensible as sn india rubber pouch,
The stomach when empty IS contracted
and folded up and projects but little
below the abdomen.
when deep sea fish is brought to
the surface, how gradually and careful
soever, its bones are often like so much
touchwood and It's muscles like rotten
pulp. while its eyes are burst from its
sockets and It's viscera are often blown
out of the body cavity by the eXpan-
sion of the air bladder. 1t frequently
happens that deep sea fishes are found
floating helplessly on the surface OF
the ocean with large prey in their
stomachs. Their appearance under
these circumstances is accounted for
by the efforts Of their struggling vic
tins to escape from their jaws, caus-
ing them to ascend beyond the horizon"
tai zone which they usually inhabit.
Deep sea fishes are commonly black
or dark brown. But, although 1t Is
claimed that light is essential to the
formation of cOlors, some deep sea
fishes are scarlet in parts or uniform
red or rosy. Others are silvery white
while, according to Alcock, the neo-
copelus is one dazzling sheen Of pur-
pie and silver and FURNISHED gold
amid which is a sparkling constellation
OF luminous organs.

vice to urge people at this season of
the year to lay in supply of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. 1t is almost
sure to be needed before winter Is
over, and much more prompt and sat-
isfactory results are obtained when
taken as soon as a cold is contracted
and before it has become settled in
the system, which can only be done
bv keeping the remedy at hand. This
remedy is so widely known, altogether
GOOD that no one should hesitate about
buying it in preference to any other.

Broadway Improvement.


The proposed contract for the i'm
provement of Broadway begged in vsin
for a taker. No bids were received last
Monday- evening, the time advertised
or opening bids. The estimated cost is
$149O, but the job is uncertain and there
was no disposition on the part
Of those able Ito undertake it to
to assume the risk Of bidding reasonably
close to the estimated COST. The cour.
Gil, therefore decided to do the job by
day work and C. H. Carhart has been
engaged to superlntend it,. He expects
to begin the work next Monday.
There appears to be q we'll settled
doubt in the public mind as to the regu-
iarity Of the proceedings under which
this improvement is proposed to be
made, and the wisdom of undertaking
the work under such circumstancssiis iis
seriously questioned. If the cont
be borne by the owners Of. the property
to be benefited there can be no objec-
ton, but taxpayers do object to doing
the work at the general public expense
and there is some talk of taking the
necessary legal steps to have tnis ques-
tion settled. b,
