DestinJ of a Waistcoat.

The easy-going Harvard under.
graduate, left to himself on questions
of dress, will understand the misery
of his counterpart at Oxford. When
the exam period approached week
or so ago, those in power issued an
edict prescribing the dress to be
worn in the examination room to in.
clude black coat and a black waist.
coat, in addition to the white tie and
the gown. The British public itself
was appalled, at such Puritan sever.
ity. II was the black waistcoat, a
thing that all civilization is allowed
to doff in summer, that melted rebel
lion. Why, a mans chances in life
might be impaired because the
warmth of waistcoat gratuitously
imposed upon him, preventing him
from doing full justice to his views on
the synthetic unity Of appreciation!
1t might ruin state.-Boston Tran

BLOOD WILL TELL.

1t takes lots of vitality, nervous force and
strength to win race. Blood must be
pure and good
Without good red blood a man has a
weak heart and poor nerves. Thinness OF
the blood, OF anemia, Is common in men
and young women, and all those who work
indoors, who do not get enough good OK
ygen in their lungs, consequently have too
many white blood corpuscles.
Keep the nerves nourished, the heart
strong the head cool, the stomach vigorous,
the liver active with tonic which has
stood the test of time and has a wide repu-
tation, such as DR.. Pierces Golden Medical
Discovery
TONES consisting Of large portions of
alcohol. iron OF cod liver oil, do not bring
the desired changes in the blood, because
they do not enter the system and are not
absorbed into the blood, with the excep-
ton Of the alcohol, which shrivels up the
red blood corpuscles when II does come in
contact with them. Therefore do not allow
the dealer to insult your intelligence by
telling you he has something better than

What is Wrong With college Sport,

Concluding THE College Athlete, "
in the July Nc Cures, Henry Beach
Needham makes further revelations
ofthe trickery and dishonesty which
commercialism fosters in undergrad
uate sport Baseball players come
in for the same attention the foot
ball stars received in the first paper
and, because it is easier Tor a ball
player to turn his skill into SUR
reptitious source of income the con-
ditions are worse with the ball mines
than with the elevens.
1t is a startling story Mr.. Need
ham has to tell of these young men
practising in their college days all
the wiles of the bribe giver and the
ribe-taker.
Few players could be convicted
in court of law" he says, ION
the charge of receiving money, or
its equivalent, for playing ball. 1t is
easier to convict legislator of bribe
taking-yes, the attorney for the
big corporation of bribe-giving-
than to convict a college gentleman
of evadirg the rules he is pledged
to live upto, and OF taking money"
This is strong statement but
that it is within the facts Mr.. Need
hams narrative proves beyond any
doubt, for his story is one OF specific
instances and he never failsto name
the men, the time, and the place.
For all the evils he shows up the
writer is far from pessimistic, 1T
is true beyond question" he says"
that conditions have been far worse
than they are today" He puts the
blame upon the spirit that makes a
business of winning, of winning at
any cost.
'It the professionals, other than
! the scientific trainers who watch
over the physical condition of the
athletes, were let go, if the amateur
coaches - of college graduates -
were sent about the serious busi-
ness for which their collegiate edit
cation supposedly fits them, and if
the development Of the university
crews, elevens and mines were left
to the undergraduates, primarily to
the various team captains, large
part of the evils in college athletics
would disappear. The hope OF col
lege amateurism is in the awaken
ing of the spirit of true sport-fair
play, and sport for sports sake,

School Directors New Oath

Since June Ist, when the presi-
dents of the different township
school boards took Office, they are
obliged to subscribe to an oath
different from that of former years.
They must take oath that the COM
pulsory attendance law has been
COM lied with, that no teacher has
been employed at a salary Of less
than SIS per month and that no
teacher has been employed for, or
had charge Of, any of the schools
during the year who had not at the
time valid certificate. The old
oath did not compel them to swear
that salaries less than SIS pei
month were paid. Another feat
ure that will meet the appreciation
of Prohibitionists especially, is that
the subject of physiology and hygiene
with special reference to the effects
of alcoholic drinks, sti,nulants and
narcotics upon the system. have
been regularly introduced and
taught in all The schools of the dis
trict.

Green Peas for Feline Gourmets.

II is generally supposed that cats
are carnivorous animals, yet from in
vestigations recently undertaken by a
French cat fancier it would appear
that vegetarians are to be found even
among the feline tribe
Green peas-cooked-are among the
vegetables most favored by these four
footed gourmets, and asparagus is re-
garded as an extraordinary dainty,
even the white, hard stalks, usually
rejected by the most fastidious "hu.
mans" being eagerly devoured. Hari-
cot beans and sorrel are not much
thought Of, nor spinach, but cooked
chicory and lettuce are more to their
taste, Carrots are generally appreci-
ated, and are said to be beneficial to
cat health. They are also excessively
fond of maize, either green or even
the hard grains when cooked.
Fruit apparently does not appeal to
puss, apples, pears, peaches and april
cots failing to rouse her appetite. On
the other hand, they show a decided
taste for melons and bananas, while
some were found to be absolutely
greedy over cocoanut in any form.
There is evidently likely to be an
opening in the future for cats vege-
table man to compete with the peri
patetic cats meat man of the present.

New Snake Bite Cure.

The prevention of death from snake
bite has been the object of number
OF Investigations recently undertaken,
and two methods of treatment have
been developed with a fair amount
of success. One is the injection of a
specially prepared anti-venom, which
acts as an antitoxin, and which has
proved useful in many cases.
The other is treating the afflicted
part with permanganate of potash,
which has the advantage that this sub
stance can readily be kept at hand.
and does not require to be specially
prepared and stored like the anti
venom. The use Of permanganate Of
potash for snake bites was first sug-
gested in India in 1869 by Sir Joseph
Fayrer, and subsequent experiments
have demonstrated the effectiveness
of the treatmnt.

MONEY IN ENGLAND
Queer Nicknames in Slang Given to
English Coins.

I'VE may tnink there is a great deal
Ot slang in English, as we commonly
use it in this country" Mr.. j. E. Sora'
CHAN observes, but in at least one re-
spect the colloquial tongue OF Eng and
surpasses the wealth OF terms we pos.
sess in this regaru, and that is The
slang relaung to money. The Amen
can uses aston.shingy few slang
words in speaking OF pieces of money
perhaps because he has a greater re-
spect for it. A fivc-cent piece is usu-
ally referred to as a nickel but this is
practically the only slang term applied
to any of our money in general use.
A dime is officially dime and so IL a
quarter.
But turn to the English appella-
tions for their money, and hardly a
bit of it is referred to under its au.
thorized and official designation. A
shilling is seldom called such in Lon.

which means a piece of tobacco in

Put the Access on the Pronoun."

Two negro women boarded a Penn
sylvania avenue car at Seventh street.
One was large, dark skinned woman,
fiashily dressed; the other was a
small, yellow woman, wearing a mod
est gown.
The women were discussing a mu-
tual friend, Mr.. jerks. The large wo-
man spoke in loud tones and pro-
nounced the name of the man as
though it were spelled J-i-n-k-s. It
was evident from the expression on
the face of the smaller woman that
she was annoyed by the loud talking
and mispronuno.ation of her friend.
Finally she protested:
"You speak of Mr.. jerks as though
his name were spelled with a i in
stead of an e."
"Oh, yes" the large woman ex.
claimed. 4 perceives you puts the

Legislature Failed 10 Provide Means Ia

Because of the failure of the re-

for its enforcement, Attorney Cen
eral Carson has advised Auditor
Snyder that he need not attempt to
put into effect the provisions of the
Dunn act of 1905. This act inn
poses upon Recorders of Deeds,

tain daily reports to the Auditor
General of papers filed in their Of

Fine Art of Smuaalina.

The latest thing in smuggling
comes from the Swiss frontier, where
the art OF bringing in contraband
goods by automobiles has been devel-
oped into a fine art.
A party Of finely dressed tourists,
presumably count and countess with
a friend, has been crossing the from
tier repeatedly.
The suspicious OF the authorities
were at last aroused. The automobile
was stopped and searched and the
pseudo count and countess were
found to be notorious smugglers.
Their fine raiment as well as their
automobile was simply loaded with
all sorts of dutiable stuff.
Investigations hereafter are likely
TO be more severe than ever.--New
