To improve Football.

An interesting letter is contributed to the current Harper's Weekly by a cor- respondent who. having read Walter Camps much discussed football articles in the Weekly, writes to say that. from a spectators point of view, the English game is infinitely ahead of ours. He thinks the following points in the English form of play could be adopted with ad- vantage to the game as played in this country:
 First Che says)--Do away with all inter- ference. which in the English Game is ofY- side play.
 Second-Introduce more of the spreading out of half-backs and full-backs, and pass the ball.
 Third--''Dribble' the ball down the field.
 Fourth-Throw in the ball from side to . lineup.
 "It would really" says the correspond ent, "be moro than worth while for the different colleges to send a committee to England to witness the game, study it closely. and adopt many of it's features which have stood tho test of time"

BOY LEARNS HOW ID MAKE ARROW HEADS Without Aid Michigan Youth
 Solves Indian Secret BIT OF WOOD ONLY TOOL Authority on Geological Subjects Prophesies Great Things for Ern-
 est Baurman, Who Is Only
 17 Years Old.

Grand Rapids, Mich.-The problem Of how the Indians of prehistoric times made their flint arrowheads has been solved by a boy of Il years. with little book learn- ing and less knowledge of science
 This boy is Ernest Baurman. who lives with his parents near Berlin, Kent county. He is a farmers son and ever since he was old enough to follow a plough he has turned up quantities of the arrow heads. Like many another boy, he wondered how the Indians made them, but, unlike other boys. he kept at the problem until he had solved it. He was satisfied that the process must have been simple one, as the Indians had no fine tools. and 0 comparatively rapid one on account of the great numbers of the arrowheads which have been turned up.
 Many a time when his plough turn sd up an arrowhead or some of the chips faked ofY in the process of manufacture he y ould sit down beside the plough and become absorbed in study of the problem. riom the chips he learned moro than fl om the heads themselves. He learned which way they came off the stone and then he began to experiment to find the me. ns employed to break them or lie tried as hammer every material he could think of. and finally succeeded In chipping several flakes off with piece of hard wood whittled to a point. With this encouragement he kept at 1t and about year ago succeeded in produc- ing perfect arrowhead.
 The news of the success of his experf- ments came to the ears of David W. Ken dall, of this city. who is an authority on geological and archaeological subjects.
 He wrote to the boy and Baurman call ed upon him six weeks ago at his resi- dence in this city. and announced to that gentleman that, if hs wished. he would

 If you had annually s1.0O0,O00 or so to spare and wanted to balance your ac- count with the world by giving it away. how would you go about the task?
 Of the many hundred men and women in tho United States whose fortunes as- pire toward seven, eight and nine figures, several notable ones have put this ques- ton seriously to themselves, and have answered it by going as gravely about the business of giving away money wisely as they went about its accumulation. And mighty business it has become, this business of philanthropy. when it is re- membered that in America-thedomain of the dollar no more than of the helping hand-upward of $s00O0. 900 year is given away, of which shining Niagara s4o.0Oo,- 900 rises in New York and empties thence into the overwhelming sea of want

Yet while their business is to carry out the wishes of the wealthy ironmaster, the grain is sorted from the chaff before it reaches him. And how?
 First. 1t may be answered. nearly all Carnegie donations are unsolicited, be- ing, it is said, largely the result of de- ductious drawn from reading the news papers.

 His secretary, James Bertram may be called his chief almoner, for nothing ever reaches MT. Carnegie but first passes through his hands, Most of the letters relate to gifts of organs or library en- 'dowments, accomplished or to come. A dozen library and organ requests are av- eraged every day.

 Upward of S10O OO0O, 900 has already passed in this way under the eye of Secretary Bertram and out through the hands of the Hoboken bureaus to beneficiaries, as follows: United States, $S7.517,472; Scot land, $17,713.750; Holland $1750,000; Eng land and Wales, s1,554000; Canada, s1,016,- 900; Ireland, s365 00O; Cuba, s252.000, and miscellaneous contributions amounting to some $5.0o0.000.
 system Is that of John D. Rockefeller, whose Bertram Is Starr J. Murphy. His department is organized as well and heed fully as any of the surrounding depart ments through which money is made. His system of charity is ironclad. Every thing must follow a prescribed course. Following the example of his employer, he absolutely refuses to discuss in ad- vance any case of prospective charity.
 As an example of the profound secrecy which governs this bureau in its inyest- gations. an amusing story is told of two rival movements to start female college in the middle West. One of them secured an earlier start by means of secret do- nation from MT. Rockefeller, and 1t was not for some time that its rival institu- ton understood why it's appeals for aid from the same source were met with si- lence Everybody knows that the Chi cago University is a pampered beneficiary of John D. Rockefeller. But no one save himself and his chief almoner knows the aggregate sums contributed. Besides the s20000. 000-odd dollars given the Chlca- go University. s6,000000 to Rush Medical college, s1,375,000, to Barnard $l000,000. each to Harvard, the Baptist missionary fund and the Southern Educational funds, approximately s10O00.O00 have been sown where the sower and his charity manager can directly trace them.
 Miss Helen Gould. with the intelligent assistance of Miss Elizabeth Altman, an nually disburses s500,000 in charity. Prob ably Miss Gould supports directly and in- directly more charities than any person living. While it does not mean that she gives away such sums as are recorded of the Rockefeller and Carnegie charities, on the best authority her donations reach annually 800 or more beneficiaries.
 Miss Altman is a vassar graduate and first met her present employer some seven years ago. when Miss Gould was visiting the college. Since then she mas been an active agent in giving away nearly s4.0oo.0OO.

 .'The British-Amercan company makes a feature of the quality of the Virginia leaf that Is used The leaf is imported from America and manufactured into cig- arettes at Shanghai. The Japanese to- bacco monopoly puts its goods on this market under Chinese labels. but gives the names of it's chief brands in English on the package. This method is the one adopted by it's active rival.
 "A few days ago the British-Amer1can managers at Niuchwang. which is head quarters for Manchuria, billed the native city as prominently as great circus Is announced on American billboards. Fol lowing this the Japanese tobacco mon opoly managers began giving away sam pie cigarettes, attached to neat card having Chinese and Japanese flags print ed on top, with real matches for flag staffs, and with miniature pictures of the boxes of their leading brands in pyramid form under the flags. Holes punched in the cards held the match nagstaffs, and slits, also cut In the card, admitted and held the sample cigarette.

NEW WAR RAGING
 IN MANCHUR|A Great Struggle is on for the
 Cigarette Trade MUCH ADVERTISING DONE Country Is Posted by Rival Tobacco Companies and Autographs Put Circus Paper" to Shame.
 Natives Delighted.

Washinrton.-Consul General Summons at Niuchwang describes vigorous con test that is being carried on between rival manufacturers of cigarettes in Manchuria. He says:
 Cigarettes are being advertised with colored quarter sheet posters and hand bills in Niuchwang. The coloring of the advertising matter is mostly blood red, and the cigarette campaign is growing more active. The Japanese tobacco mon- opoly, on the one hand, is pushing three leading brands In Manchuria. while the British American Tobacco company on the other has it's agents knocking at the gates leading to the late war zone and seeking to carry the campaign into the interior on equal terms. Thus far the Brit ish-American company has not been all lowed to send foreigners beyond Niuch- wang, but through native sub-agents the virtues of the Virginia leaf are already being announced on the face of old Chi nese walls that have never before been utilized for advertising purposes. The Japanese have the advantage of being able to push their goods under the direct super vision of their own countrymen. Japa- nese merchants, also, who sell to the army, have for several months been al- lowed to go into the interior to certain points. under Japanese military authority and regulation.
 Women Also Smoke.
 "In Manchuria the natives, in some in- stances including the women, smoke cig- arettes. The field is considered rich one in this trade and is consequently sought after with much eagerness. The lurid ad- vertising matter used by both parties seeking the business of the enormous cis- arctic smoking community is decorated with Chinese characters describing the wonderful qualities of the tobacco used.
