Saturday When the New CON-

Every n who could get aV ay from

vent to the other end of the island to

While the new tiremen were greeted
with cheers. many a sore heart beat
under the gaudy shirts adjoining the

volunteer organizations that have
protected property and safeguarded

machine will stand on the sidewalk

honor that were to him more to be

DEsULToRY READING HABIT
Lack Of System Confuses the Mind
with Mass of Unclassifed
Material.

The mind is a very delicate. compli-
Gated piece of mechanism, and, al
though made to do a certain kind Of
work marvelously well. yet when put to
an entirely different use. it's efficiency
is ruined, just as the delicate machinery
intended for producing fine watch parts
would be completely spoiled if used
to make clock parts, writes O. S.
Marden, in Success Magazine. When
the mind becomes detected, to a GER
tain extent. from its normal condition
by the vicious reading habit, it di-
verges more and more, and rarely
goes back to the normal.
BY desultory habits of reading and
lack of system you confuse the mind
with a large a of unclassiiod ma
terial. You pick up a book and read
q few pages. and then pick up another
one. and then go from that to a paper
or magazine. This puts the mind in
a chaotic state, because you let every
thing run into the mental reservoir
without any order or definite plans,
Systemless reading is proitless. You
cannot gain knowledge of a friend or
prize his friendship by a hasty first ini-
preston, so in reading a book you can
not gain everlasting good by skimming
over the contents, or by reading a few
pages n night and then putting 1t on
a shelf to gather dust until you get
time to read it again. Everything
comes out of thegmind as it went In,
and If 1t does not enter in an orderly
manner, it will come out in chaos.

victory over Williams. The final score
was II to 0. About $500 persons were

Der of substitutions in the Harvard

Harvard kicked off, and after IL
sharp exchange the ball was taken in
midheld. . Then by successive on
slaughts on the Williams left the Grim
son forced the ball down the field, and
finally Foster was sent over for Il
touchdown. White kicked an easy goal.
Harvard again got possession of the
ball in midfield and repeated the pre-
vious attack on the Williams left wing.
This time Wendell went over for the
score, which was increased to II when
White kicked q second goal.

WILLARD OF POSTCARDS.
Germany Leads the List of Nations,
Using 900, 900 in
One Year.

A return which has just been issued
by the postal union for the year 1903
contains some interesting items, es-
pecially with regard to the extent to
which post cards have mgratiated
themselves with the public, says
Lloyd's Weekly.
1t appears from this return that in
the matter of post cards the German
empire heads the list with no fewer
than 1,161, 900, 900 posted there during
that year.
Even the United States, whose popu-
latipn is about one-half in excess of
that lof Germany, can boast of only
770, SOC, 900 of those missives. Great
Britain comes next with G13, 900, 900.
Japan, which previously used next to
Ge6 lany most post cards, is now
q b on the list with 4S7, 500, 900.
o inhabitants of Germany alone,
gfore. are now availing themselves
nearly as many rost cards as the
lifted States and Japan together. 9th
countries are greatly left behind in
he race; not one of them reaches the
humber of 300, 900, 900.
AS to letters, however, the United
1 States is far ahead of all other coun-
tries. The total number of letters post
ed there during 1903 was 4,109 900, 900.
Great Britain follows in it's wake with
