Plague of PorDoiSes.

PROPOSES have lately appeared in the
north Adriatic in such quantities as to
render the fishermen quite desperate.
Both the naval authorities and the vari-
Gus fishing guilds have offered rewards
for the determination of the shoals at
so much per head. Particularly heavy
loss has been occasioncd at Grade,
where where the porposcs swarmed up
the inets and canals and broke up all
the nets and other gear.
At Monfalcone one of the creatures
created a sensation by rolling into a
ladies' swimming bath at a time when
it was crowded. An indescribable panic
elsued. under the belief that the harm
less fish was a shark.-Austrian Fishing
Gazette.

CURSE OF TOADYING TO WEALTH.
BY Rev. DIR. S. p. Cadn7an.

There Is natural tendency among men of
great wealth to ossify. They regard them
selves apart from the people, great and
afar off, and hold themselves as immune not
only from their fellows, but from the opera
lions Of the laws that have been formulated
for the protection Of all. That is the result
with all men who toady to money or who be-

school, contrary, every day should be full Of joy
and cheer that with doing good work and living for
something while. Glass scraps hazing
and rowdyism neither humorous nor conducive to
real manhood and womanhood.
Athletic work has assumed place in the school world
that is simply out Of all proportion to its merits. 1t has
taken possession Of colleges and universities to such
extent that in the student world an institution is
judged by its athletics But there is tendency just
present the part Of colleges and universities to
throw off the yoke This intense athletic spirit has
taken hold of high schools and in in
stances seems to be the dominant force
However, every high school should be equipped with
good gymnasium and the boys and girls should have
systematic training in physical culture This
training should be supplemented with play Intercass
games be made healthful and helpful sport and
