BOATING ON THE NILE.
The Best Pilots Run Aground Two Oh
Three Times n Day.


Navigation on the Nile is not so COM
cheated matter as upon the north
Atlantic, writes Alonzo Clarke Robin
son in Outing. To run at full speed
upon sand bar is an occurrence of
such frequency as hardly to elicit
comment from the passengers. The
crew take more interest because they
are obliged to push the boat off again
with poles, and this entails great
amount Of shouting and some work.
The Nile below the first cataract Is
fairly broad, muddy river, flowing be-
tween deposed banks varying from
six to eight to twenty to thirty feet in
height. its surface is interrupted ev-
erywhere by sand splits and islands
upon which are to be seen thousands
of birds. The channel, if such it can
be called, winds from one side to the
other and changes completely with ev-
cry flood; hence even the best pilots
run aground two or three times day.
1t is, OF course. impossible to proceed
at night, and each days voyage comes
to an end wherever darkness happens
to overtake one The boats nose Is
simply run plump on the bank. two
men leap out and drive stakes to which
to make fast. and there you are for the
night. A very simple and effective
method. without any ostentation and
requiring very little knowledge Of
mathematics: it has also the advantage
of variety. Sometimes one finds one
self alone beneath the wonderful
Egyptian moon lighting up the river
the distant cliffs and the silent, empty
plain, or perhaps one stops near some
little native village, in which case the
bank is lined with silent, curious fig
ures, who crouch for hours wrapped in
their white cloth coverings. Once we
tied up beside lonely brick kiln. The
sight was weird one. The red fare
of the furnace, fed with sugar cane,
cast intermittent flashes Of light into
the night, in and out Of which moved
black half naked natives, while over
head was the cloudless, star lit sky Of

earned by a Michigan athlete upon his

Heston had dattering offers from other
prominent schools. AS Drake will prob
ably play against Michigan next fall,
Heston will be the first one of Yost's pro-

A short time ago 1t was announced
that Heston would succeed BUNNY"
Booth, at Nebraska, but this was later
denied Booth has announced that he
has retired from the coaching profession
and will hereafter devote all of his time
to the practice of law. Booth has been
practlcing law in New York city for the
past three years. During this time he
has given his time to acquiring knowl-
edge Of the practical side of the profess
sion and in acquiring a big acquaint-
ance. In the falls he had devoted three
months to coaching football at Ne
braska. When Booth visited in Chicago
on his way west last October, he dis
cussed the value of football career to
profession or any vocation which de-
mands a close and large acquaintance
with business men. Booth declared that
he believed that his football
at Princeton had practically made pro-
fessional career easy for him in New
York city. In discussing this matter he
said; I'VE all know that a large ac-
quaintance is absolutely necessary TO
the professional man. have been prac-
ticing law, or rather been running the
bluff, for three years. Fully half of that
time have spent making acquaintance.
Nearly every night go to some club or
to public place where men of influence
| congregate, and meet men. This has
been very easy for me, because have had
! easy access to the society of good, infu-
entail men. And this has been almost
entirely due to the fact that was at one
time a prominent football player at
Princeton Everybody has heard of me,
it seems and this fact alone is better
than an Introduction. Somehow people
love hero, and every football player or
a big team is more or less Of a hero in
the minds of all college-b bred people at
least. I got more than my share in foot
ball. Now find it easy to meet men. and
my success has been such that my bust
ness has grown until can no longer af-
ford to coach football three months in
the year My law business demands all
of my time"

books that children are very fond Of; Kate
Douglas Wiggin, of Kindergarten and
Birds Christmas Carol" fame; Hamil-
ton Mabie, a man who knows what's
what in the book world, and others in
terested in giving children the proper
book pabulum.
Modern study of the child looks zeal
ously to physical welfare, and. of course,
the Chid-LoTe library is not behind
hand in this matter A specialist on the
fumigation of books has charge of fumi-
CATION of volumes in this library, and
every book is fumigated on its return to
the library. 1t is thought this precau-
ton is especially necessary in children's
libraries, as most children's diseases are
contagious, and contagion turks in the
home of the rich as we'll as in that OF the
poor. Children's circulating libraries
have been held in the past rather dan
gerous, because of the spread by their
means of contagion; but fumigation re-
moves this evil.
In regard to the aims of the new IL
brary, the lady who has direct charge
made this statement to a representative
OF the New York Sun: Pedagogy tells
us that the science Of education Is the
science Of interesting. If child Is ever
aroused and interested, he can and win
interest himself. That is the secret OF
the success of the Child-Lore library;
1t helps the child to help himself"

A CHIED'S LIBRARY
NEW YORK SHOWS INTEREST
IN THE SMALL READER.
Modern Study Of Youth Provides
Wisely--Experts Help the Par
ent In Selection Of Books
and Papers.

For some little time libraries here and
there have set apart a "Children's
Room" a place made attractive with
pictures, flowers, berries, wild grasses,
low shelves, low tables, and comfort
able small chairs. Now modern inter-
est in the child has brought forth a IL
brary all for children.
It Is called The Child-Lore library,
and is situated at "a East Fifty-ninth
street, New York, in the center of a
residence district wherein dwells folk
of goodly wealth. Why, it is asked,
should this at-on-the-order-of-
missionary enterprise be put in the
midst Of wealth and fashion, and the
answer is that the children of the rich
as we'll as those OF the poor need guild
ing In the matter Of literature And
the Child-Lore library, not confirming it.
self by any means to the people of its
immediate neighborhood, sends forth to
public school and community-groups
collections Of carefully chosen reading
matter, and thus escapes the criticism
Of aristocratic leanings.
are so engrossed with duties, often real,
often imaginary, that were it not for
outside assistance the little child in the
family of each distracted parent would
be sadly neglected And both are very
fortunate that there is offered them the
expert help of the ones in charge of this
new enterprise for directing young
readers.
The lady at the head has had much ex-
peTience in teaching children, and says
now she is very glad to be able to do
her teaching with lightness of touch;
unknown to the attendants at the IL
brary study their tastes; unknown to
them gently lead them in better path.
Once week, on Saturday morning, there
is held what is called the children's
hour, when a flock of little ones and
those not yet too grown up to be ranked
as children, gather under the wing of
the director, and, in informal assembly,
swap stories" 1t is not n meeting
where elders hold the floor, but where
even the wee-est is encouraged to enter
tain the company. These mornings are
of value in many ways; here one can
get indication of honest preferences;
one can help timid ones to have faith
in their own tastes, and one can find oc-
casion for the word of advice the moth
ers are anxious to have bestowed.
1t is doubtful if many parents, no mat
ter how devoted to the right training OF
their children. have even a passing &C
quaintance with Juvenile literature, and
when called upon to purchase book of
this class, are all at sea as to selection.
To be sure, there is any quantity to
choose from; but right there is the
trouble-so much quantity and so little
quality. There is a great mass of jul
venile reading offered, but lot OF it is
only pictures and good printing At
least, this is the verdict of the Child
Lore library. And this library is in
dorsed by no less personages than John
Burroughs, hater of shams; Mary
Mapes Dodge, beloved editor of the st.
Nicholas tried and true friend of chill
dren; Laura E. Richards, who writes

ment in Chicago. He is vice presi-
dent of the American Bowling congress,
and at the last tournament he captained
the team that won the national cham
pionship. Hermn Long, for many years
the king of shortstops, is another dia-
mond star who is interested in the
game, and is manager of a set Of alleys in
Chicago. Will Terry, the old bowling
pitcher OFF whom the late Delehanty
made four home runs and single in one
day. is also a bowler and has a bowling
establishment in Milwaukee. Among
the eastern baseball men, President Eb-
bets, of the Brooklyn Baseball club, is
the most conspicuous patron Of the
game. John McGraw, the clever little
manager of the New York Nationals
conducted a bowling establishment in
Baltimore for a number of years. Frank
Brill, who some 70 years ago played
with Detroit, is the manager Of bowling
establishment in Chicago. Brill is a
bowler of considerable prominence and
an ex-national champion. AL Setback is
another baseball player who has made a
record for himself on the alleys. He
toured the country few years ago with
the All-American bowling trio.
