Thu First Ieacuns.

Even after tea was introduced into
Europe and Dad come into general use
teacups were scarce. At the same time
coffee was introduced; but, apart from
Constantinople, the first coffee cups ID
Europe date back only as far as 1913
in Venice, 1860 In Paris, 1852 in Lon
don and 1904 in Leipsic. From the
first, however, the conventional orien-
tai coffee cup, without stem or handle.
was little used, and In Germany not at
all. The Chinese teacup was used for
tea, coffee and chocolate as well. Speci-
mems Of porcelain were undoubtedly
introduced into Europe In the middle
ages, yet not till the sixteenth century
were cups imported from China In any
great quantities, and even then 1t was
as articles Of vertu. Most Of those
found their way back into China again,
as collecting porcelain is lasting fad
there, and high prices are paid for
good specimens. The collection OF
Chinese porcelain, if only the genuine
specimens are desired, requires Inn
mense study and knowledge, as the
Chinese are skillful imitators and put
numerous falsifications on the market.

A Misunderstood Jest.

Lord Lytton when viceroy Of India
was seated one day at dinner next to
a lady whose name was Birch and
who, though very good looking, was
not overintelligent. Said she to his
excellency:
Are you acquainted with any Of the
Birchesw
ooh, yesv' replied Lord Lytton. Il
knew several Of them most intimately
while at Eton-indeed, more intimate
~ than l cared to-"
"My lord,' replied the lady, you
forget the Birches are relatives Of
mine"
"And they cut me-" said the viceroy,
"but," and he smiled his wonted smile,
'I have never felt more inclined to
kiss the rod than l do now"
Sad to say, Mrs. Birch did not see
the point and told her husband his ex.
eellency had insulted her.

Society Music.

Mary will have to be asked to play
when she goes out in society. A proud
mamma will attend to that. And Mary
will play with faithful accuracy some
thing from Chopin or Beethoven or
Mendelssohn, and the young people
>will watch her chubby fingers thought
fully and wonder when the selection
will come to an end. They will ap-
plaud, too-when the end is reached
for that is good manners, and every
body likes Mary, anyhow. And then
well, Lucy Smith, who has never taken
lessons, will rollick up to the piano
and begin coon song, hands and feet
will beat time all over the room, half
the listeners will hum the refrain.
everybody will see the difference be-
tween the piano as penance and as a
pleasure, and only Mary's mamma will
make unpleasant side remarks about
the degeneracy of popular taste in
music.-Cynthia Westover Alden in

MANY ENTRIES FOR MEET.
Indoor Games ut baltimore Next sat
urdny Promise Fine sport.

Baltimore. Md, Jan. 5.-Every day tends
to show that the coming combined indoor
meet at the Fifth Regiment Armory will
be the greatest affair of its kind ever
held in the city. Colleges and clubs from
ali over the East will be represented, and
many of the best athletes of the cOun-
try viii compete.
One of the latest and most distin-
guished entrants is Rev c. Ewry. of the
New York Athletic Club. who is the
worlds champion standing high and
broad jumper. His record in the stand
ing high jump. made at Athens last
year. is feet s II inches. When it is
considered that the average athlete does
not far excel that mark on a running
jump 1t can be seen what a remarkable
feat Ewry accomplished. 1t is probable
that a special exhibition event win be
arranged for the New Yorker.
Cartwell, the 1G0-yard intercollegiate
champion. whose record is 10 seconds,
has already entered.
Judging from the number Of queries
by probable entries, relay races will
hold an especially prominent place in
the meet. Word has been received from
Columbia University that it will send
its two-mile relay team. and the man
agement is anxious to get on a race
with George Washington. Should this
fail the New York collegians will prob
ably be pitted against some local four.

who for the last four years has been in
Russia in charge Of one OF the most

4 have seen $1,000 persons present at
a trotting race there. It is the belief
Of SOME Of the Yankee trainers now in
Russia that so good are the Russian
bred trotters. the produce in part of
American stations. that the best in
that country could come back to Amer
lea and win. Betting is done mainly
through the parimutueL though in the
clubs some OF the highest betting
imaginable is going on during the
races. The odds are established by a
sort Of auction pool system.
Very few races at less than mile
are run in Russia During the months
OF July and August the racing pro-
erammes call for the distribution of
more than 1.500. 000 rubles. or 1856. 600.

ATHLETICS PROLONG LIFE.
Interesting Report by Director OF
the Yale Gymnasium.

New Haven, Conn, Jan. yale ath-
letes who are prominent in the major
sports-rowing. baseball. track athletics.
and football-in the period of fifty years,
from 1850 to 1895. have enjoyed more than
the ordinary mans share OF long life,
says Or. w q. Anderson, after an ex-
haustive study of life records Of 500 ath-
letes in the Alumni Weekly. DR.. Anderson
says in part;
Judging from the investigation, it is
reasonable 10 say that there is no undue
strain put on the athletes while they are
in training, and their later history seems
TO show they were benefited rather than
harmed Heart disease is not chief
cause Of death Consumption was Tespon-
sible for twelve Of the hfty-eight deaths,
but the percentage was not gsrS:er than
among nOnathietes. Pneumonia carried
off six. typhoid fever and typhoid pneu-
monid two.
Those who wish to push their argu-
ment that high athletics are bad for the
lungs and heart might find some ground
for that in the fact that twenty-four OF
the ffty-eight deaths were caused by lung
! trouble Of various kinds and heart failure
! Nine men Of the fifty-eight met violent
/ deaths. two were suicides, and one died
of dissipation, which was not traCeable t.
participation in athletics
/ DR.. Anderson adds that If the figures
/ are not conclusive they at least point e

Tennis Experts out OF International
Match for Davis Cup.

London, Jan. 5.-The famous Doherty
brothers have practically decided not 10
participate in the lawn tennis interna-
tional matches for the Davis Cup next
summer, and 1t is very possible that their
only public appearance on grass next sea

ship at Wimbledon. which they viii en-
deavor TO regain from 5. S. Smith and
E. S. Riseley-
n l. Doherty, the English champion
since 1902, does not intend to defend his
title at Wimbledon. but he may play on
the French Riviera.
While no definite reason is given for
their decision to retire, it is understood
to be partly the result Of the recent con-
troversy, which has led to such drastic
changes in the personnel Of the council,
and partly the result Of the feeling that
there is a period of too strenuous first
class match play.
Both brothers have won all the honors
possible for knights OF the racquet to
achieve. They have been the doubles
champions longer than any other pair in
the past, and have done what no other
pair has done in winning the doubles
championship of America.
Nevertheless, if the brothers carry out
their present fixed intention the outlook
for England In the Davis Cup matches
next June is none TOO promising. as the
