wind Fail. Upton Cup Yachts.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 2s.-No race was the
result Of the first of the series of con-
tests sailed to-day for the Upton trophy
by three yachts of the South Coaost
Yacht Club and two of San Diego Yacht
Club. The weather conditions were pc
culiar. The portion Of the triangle form
ing the course that was directly of shore
had a fair breeze that promised finish
race. The remaining portion out to the
buoy, forming the ocean apex Of the
course was in dead calm alternating
with f1tful puffs Of wind. All the yachts
went once around the six-mile triangle,
each losing much time at the outer end,
while drifting around the buoy. At ABS,
when the time limit expired and the
judges signaled no race, the Detroit,
which was leading on the home stretch,
was mile or more from the finish. and
the Butcher Boy some distance behind.
The two yachts finally drifted to the
starting point. the Detroit leading by
thirty seconds. The yachts will try again

Good Cure for EVIL Impulse.

Council Bluffs boy, who was arrested
the other day, attributes his numerous
thefts to impulses which he cannot con-

thing that suggests itself to him no mat

that. Swimming suggested itself and 10,

Emigration From ireland.

Strenuous efforts are being made to
check emigration from Ireland, where
the drain on the countrys population is
of the most alarming nature. The regis
trar of Ireland has presented the statis-
tics for 1904, which show a decrease OF
324A emigrants in comparison with 1903
At the SINE time the figures are ominous
for last year 37,415 emigrants, or S5 pei
1000 of the estimated population, left Irish
ports, and nearly "a per cent of these
were between the ages of 10 and 35 years
with more than 40 per cent between 20 and
25. These figures indicate that 1t is the
flower of Irish manhood and womanhoo6
that Ireland is losing in her emigration
Ii is significant also that the number OF
immigrants to the United States fell of
considerably. while the immigration tc

The Origin of Pie.

Usage alone must decide the issue be-
tween .pie" and tart" which has re-
turned to us with the gooseberries Phi
lology, at any rate. draws no clear dis
tinction. 1t only traces back tart" tl
the Latin 'tortUA.' twisted-the pastry
being the twisted part, of course; while
1t is very doubtful about pie On the
whole. Skeat's conjecture that this ex-
presses the miscellaneous nature of the
contents Is persuasive. All the pies
seem to go back to the original one, the
magpie-in Latin. "pica"-from whose
black-and- white aspect comes "pied" and
'piebald.'' The old ordlnal or service
book was called "pica' or pie" because
of the appearance Of the black-letter type
on the white page, and the edible pie
having equally mixed contents, may have
been christened after this by medieval
humor. Printers language retains both
'pica'' fer kind of type and pr for
type all iumbled up.

E1c1u.Ive schools For eirl..

The average American is not aware
that there are girls schools in this
country which he could not get his
daughter into If he devoted his life to
the work The tuition fee at these
schools is from $1,000 to $1,000 a year,
and even an eligible pupil, to enter one
of them, must have had her name en-
rolled from her babyhood.
There are perhaps FIVE superlatively
aristocratic girls schools in America,
and to be one of their graduates is con-
sidered by young women a far greater
honor than to be a graduate of an ordi-
nary college.
The schools are situated as a rule in
beautiful and quaint old villages. The
number of their pupils is limited. The
surveillance is extremely strict The
courses are good, but not quite so good,
perhaps, as the food. Indeed, in one in
stitution it is notorious that the chef
gets a higher salary than the Latin
teacher.
The stockholders of these schools are
usually their graduates. 1t is the stock
holders who pass on the applicants for
admission. and one blackball, as is the
rule Of clubs, bars out an applicant
irrem0diably.-New York Press.

1.eberr. a Indicators.

In the investigation of the currents
round the coast of Newfoundland It
has been observed that there is at
times a wide difference in the direction
of the drift of icebergs and that of
the fat or pan ice, which, having no
great depth, is governed in its mo-
tons by the surface currents and the
winds. whereas the iceberSs, the lar
ger part of which is submerged to a
great depth, follow only the movement
Of the ocean water as a whole and are
uninhuenced by the winds. In conse-
quence huge berg may often be seen
majesdcally maintaining its slow ad-
vance in opposition to the wind and
across the general motion of the fields
of Fat ice surrounding it. The sealers
often take advantage OF this fact by
mooring their vessels to an iceberg in
order to prevent a drift to leeward.-

DOR. Memorx OF : Bee stinr.

Something must have stung your
dog" said resident Of this city to q
suburbantte, whom he was visiting a
few days ago. as he noticed the antics
Of large collie which, after swapping
frantcally at flying insect, lowered
his head and carefully licked his right
forepaw.
NO. replied the owner of the dog,
that Is only a little delusion of his.
When he was puppy bee stung him
on that foot you see him attending to-
and ever since he has cherished q
standing grudge against flying insects.
Apparently the sight of one not only
arouses his anger, but recalls most
wildly his first experience with one,
for each time after running after one,
whether he catches it or not, he stops
and tenderly ticks the place where he
was stung two years ago AS far as
know he has never been stung since
then" -Philadelphia Press.
