NEW HAVEN. March 1O,-Yale wound up

HOCKEY.
The Victorlas From Canada Easily Defeat
the 81. Nicholas Team.

The Victoria Hockey team, one Of the crack
teams from Montreal. visited the city yester.
day and met the st. Nicholas Club team in q
cont est at tho st. Nicholas Ska.ing Rink
The 81. Nicholas players were not good enough
to make the Canadians hustle, and the Vic.
torias won the game by a score Of o to goals
4. Bowie was the particular star of the visi-
tors. although each member OF the team is a
good player. Bowie is thou ght to be the best
forward in Canada. He is a cool. deliberate
player, shows good head work under all
conditions. is clever with the stick and very
fast. He did not have much opportunity
to show his skill last night. but during the
evening he scored eight out of the nine goals
for his side. and made each one without any
apparent effort

an acquaintance until the puck was started
there were exhibitions Of team work that
were very pretty. The st. Nicholas players
were not in form and did not play nearly as
good a game as when they defeated the
Crescents earlier In the season.
Eyeleigh and X. Gordon faced of, Eve
leigh got the puck, but lost it at once. and
landed right, in the net, This lead of the
home team did not last long. On the next
lace on Bowie got the puck, neatly lodged
through the st. Nicholas players and scored.
About two minutes later Bowie scored the
second goal. and then the shots were sent
fast at Hayward at the st. Nicholas goal.
Bowie and Bilgert with pretty team work
figured in the next attack, and this time Bowie
scored from, the front of the, cage: In each
play the puck was carried within n few feet of
the st. Nicholas, net, the home players being
unable to stop the Canadians PUSHES.
The fourth goal was made by Church,
who made a fine rush and landed the puck
In the net without assistance. Then X. Cor
don scored for the home team from a scrim-
mage. Bowie made the fifth goal from a pass
out, and Church, Gilbert and Bowie gave q
the sixth goal for tho Canadians, X. Cor
don then scored again from IA scrimmage
and the half ended with the score 8 to 3 In,
favor of the Canadians.
In the second half things opened tamely
The Canadians took things easily and let
the St. Nicholas players do all the work and
contented themselves In stopping their shots.
Bowie finally varied the monotony by scor-
ing, and then n minute or two later added

team and Bowie made the last goal of the
game. The game was a clean one. Frank

Hagen was the first man brought out

THE PATCHWORK QUILT.

I amt given much to idols, and / like the Lords own way

As tc dtc and keep a-dotng o the things tat fade inc wilt,
And somehow, spite OF conscience, l love a patchwork quilt

I could stand 1T through the day time, but a IS 90 a s it can night
Ali the horrid scenes of battle right before my eyes would fit
so 1 went to setting patchwork, just ito ease my mind a bit
When l come to choose n pattern picked nut "the letter T."
Not because 1t "a sc handsome, but itstandsf Or Tom, you See;
And it was a little comfort, in those days so darka and cold, e..
To have even that much Of him which my hand could grasp and hold.
Now I see old friends and neghbors coming through this patchwork door,
Smiling at me ,bove the pieces like the dresses that they wore;
And their faces look familiar, but those have brighter glow -
That have come from that good country where the heavenly flowers grow.
There is grandma In n gingham that I loved to see her wear
As she sat serenely knitting in her big old fashioned chair;
Aunt Maria comes asingng and her dress Of cherry red $40
Is no brighter than the sunshine that her hopeful spirit shed.
Now I sec some little children dancing up and down the quilt
This was N of Lucy's dresses the Highland plaid was Berues kilt;
And those tiny dots and figures were by little Annies frpcks-
Oh, the blessed thoughts and feelings sewed together in these blocks!
There are other things W treasure that can speak of days gone by;
Other things that set us thinking; make lis laugh and make us cry;
But # all the dear reminders eve shaped or eve built,
There's nothing beats the story of q good old patchwork quilt.

OPINIONS OF GREAT PAPERS ON IMPORTANT SUBJECTS

loss OF money and temper to the owners of focks. The
sheep-kining dog is q worthless mongrel, a coward and q
sneak. He Is, generally speaking, of no earthly use as a
watchdog or for any other legitimate purpose. He finds
his wooly victims game to his liking, because they are
timid. They offer no resistance and 1t is great sport for
him to chase and kill them. He could not be induced to
attack n tramp or any animal that would fight, IL one
should invade his masters premises. When he Is needed
at home, he Is sure to be wandering abroad In search OF
sheer.
Now, everybody values a good, faithful dog. Man has
no better or more loyal friend, but that Is no reason for
the protection OF the sneaking, worthless nlongrels that
do their utmost to make the raising Of sheep unproft-
able In 80 many localities. They should be hunted as
wolves are hunted, and killed without mercy.
The remedy Is to kill worthless ours and leave the
valuable dogs in peace. Until this is done, sheep raising
will not be the probable industry that 1t should be.-st.

AMERICAN SPEECH UNIFORM.
Many Different Languages and Dta

Many Different Languages and Dta-
lects Used I'm G~ca. Britain.
1t has been observed that the Ian
guage spoken in the United States Is
remarkably uniform. True, there are
many dialects, but Great Britain, less
In ares than any one Of half O dozen
states, contains such very different
languages a English, Welsh and the
Gaelic of the Scottish highlands, to
say nothing Of the provincial dialects
Of Cornwall and Yorkshire and the
unique speech Of the London cockney,
while in this country, with Its vast ex-
panse of territory, it's settlement by
Spanish. French. Dutch and Swedish
co!onists and it's millions of immi-
grants drawn from nearly every
try, large and small, all over the
world, there Is far greater uniformity
of speech than In any other land of
equal arealand population.
The catses car be readily seen. The
public schools have made this a ma
ton Of readers and the press has sup
piled books and papers without limit.
Press associations have done their part
toward giving a uniform and fairly
good tone to the newspaper language
of the day. The telegraph and tele-
phone and cheap postage have brought
distant parts of the country into quick
and easy communication and SO have
aided in teaching q common language.
The railroad has penetrated every
corner of the land and made q nation
of travellers. Countless human shut
ties thus are thrown daily across the
land in every direction, carrying with
them the threads Of thought and speech
and doing their part to make n pat.
tern of the whole.

Worship of Nature.

The harp at Natures advent strung
Has never ceased to play;
The song the stars of morning sung
Has never died away.
And prayer is made, and praise Is given
By all things near and far;
The ocean looketh w to heaven
And mirrors every. star.
The green earth sends1her incense up
From many a mountain shrine;
From the folded leaf and dewy cup
She pours her sacred wine.
The mists above the morning rills
Rise white as wings of prayer;
The altar curtains of the hills
Are sunsets purple air. -
The blue sky is the temples arch,
Its transept earth and air,
The music of its starry march
The chorus of a prayer. .

Japanese servants long ago won, by
their Industry and efficiency, the re-
spect OF their American employers,
else they would not be able to get
salaries that range from $50 to SIS
a month. The yellow servants Of other
races are Just al appreciative OF their
abilities. They know that they can
be relied on to do their own work
and all that the other servants neg
lect.
1t is surprising how much a Japan

six maids nre hired to accomplish In
a house. He will help the parlor maid
at her duties one minute and the next
will find himself assisting the waitress
to set the table. He is not above help

and he loves to help the laundress to
CARRY the bundles Of clothes upstairs.
He is delighted to run brands for the
cook and is amiable enough to help
the kitchen maid to peel potatoes when
she Is late Mt her work.
All this aid and comfort to his fell
low-seryants Is given with no neglect
Of Ills masters business. So there y
nothing for the housekeeper to say
against his varied eficiencies.
He does, however. have the effect Of
making servants laxier and more care

about half their work.
