COLLEGE SPORT.

New York World: Eliot
of Harvard is making no plea for the
mollycoddle when he tells the AssC-
citation of New York State colleges
that Harvard would be better off if
intercollegiate games were absolutely
stopped. He merely wishes that col
lege athletic sports should be as
clean as a hounds tooth
Now they are not. Cheating that ir-
reparably lowers the moral standards
of impressiOnable young men, athletic
specialization which makes a few men
muscle bound giants with overtaxed
hearts and leaves the many Weaklings,
the great cost of intercollegiate games,
the betting of rich students, the buy
ing of promising youngsters from pre-
paratOry schools are some of the evils
which not only work harm in colleges
but get into the public schools and
there do immensely greater harm.
Harvard furnishes one example OF
what school and college games should
be The new boat-hOuse on the
Charles permits men to row under col
Iege colors who have no chance what
ever of making the crew. but who
dc get out Of rowing fun and physical
benefit In the Columbia boat-house
no one is welcome to row who is not
considered promising material" The
whole theory of beneficial exercise is
turned upside down by insistence upon
contest as the sole end. What is
wanted is college sports and not the
college sport"

Georgian Bay Canal.

A dispatch from Ottawa, Can, states
sion has practically completed, at
cost of some 100000, a thorough sur
vey of the proposed twenty-one-foot
waterway from Georgian Bay to Mon
treal via the French river Nipissing
and the ottawa river. The engineers
of the commission have not compiled
a final estimate as to the whole cost
of the canal, but from information now
available it is stated that the total
expenditure required for a continuous
and easily navigable waterway, with a
minimum depth of twenty-One feet
from Georgian Bay to tidewater will
be close to $105, $1,000 1t is said
that the canal will shorten the dis
lance from Fort William, on Georgian
Bay, to Montreal, by over 400 miles
1t is estimated that with the com
pletion of the canal there will be
100000 horse power available along
it's course-almost as much as Is avail
able at Niagara With so much cheap
power available and with its great re-
sources of iron ore and timber, the

important Finds in Rome.

Some startling discoveries have
been made recently in the excava-
tons of Rome, which go to show that
that city is-in more real sense
than has been suppOsed-the Eternal
city. These discoveries carry the
mind far back of the poetical fancfes
of Homer and Virgil, and appear to
tell of a people more ancient than
the Trojans, who disported them
selves on the seven hills before Ajax
and Achilles, Priam and Ulysses had
practiced chariot driving or invented
the wooden horse. Romulus and Re.

they did they built the people of Nip

engaged in archaeological pursuits in
the ancient capital, has for some

under the ia Sacra, which contain
the relics of an ancient race, with
their pottery and ornaments. His
claim excited much discussion, but
similar tombs have been recently dis
covered under the Palatine hill in
large numbers and with a more varied
assortment of relics
While these discoveries are OF
great interest as indicating an carrier
history to the Eternal city, especially
as they may be supplemented by
much more elaborate finds, they are
of greater interest in helping to es-
tablish certain important theories In
ethnOlogy. No country on earth has
such varied interest as Italy for
those who are trying to put together
the history of races All varieties of
the white races at one time or an
other found an abode in that peninsu-
la. The general run of the inhabitants
today is totally unlike the races that
have existed there in earlier days
The traces and relics of these latter
races are SO distinct as to leave no
doubt if their former finds in Rome
itself, If extended, may tremendously
add to the knowledge on the subject.

Britain and Her Colonies.

The colonies are more likely to fall
apart and become independent COM
munities rather than portions OF con-
soljda.ed empire. The national SEN
timent and the desire for the reten'
ton of some tie connecting them with
the mother country remain very
strong. but not strong enough 20
blind them to what their commercial
interests are. A policy Satisfactory
to Australia might be most unaccept-
able to Canada and all the colonies
have become too much accustomed to
to be willing to re-
linouish any power to imperial control
It seems probable that as new gen
erations arise, all of whose interests
and associations are in the countries
of their birth, tie sentimental tie be-
tween empire and colonies will
weaken. Washington Post

long ago as last July the British

TO shipowners and masters against the
practice, doubtless at the bidding of
the Russian intelligence department,
who are far better informed, because

Careless Building.

We have often wondered at the
extreme economy which causes own
ers of new buildings land architects
may be derelict as welD to chop the
fine pressed brick used on the street
face of the building sharply off at the
corners and to erect solid side walls of
common brick, rough and entirely out
of harmony with the handsome col
ored brick Used in front. 1t does not
appear to make much difference
whether the building is put up in a
IneighborhOod where it is likely to
stand by itself for years to come, Or
whether it sides on an alley where a
Ineighboring building will never join
it. Sometimes the face brick are ex
tended back three or four feet which
helps matters only a little. The only
way in which an enjoyable view OF
such a building may be had is to stand
exactly in front Of it at all times which
| is a difficult and tedious thing to do
A better way is to slip an ordinance
| through a city council requesting own
ers to carry their face brick back al
least fifteen feet on either side. AL
| lowing for the building next door shut

will give fairly satisfactory view tC
the passer-by, and, thereby, enhance
the beauty of the municipality.

Duchess Of Marlborough
Now Grass Widow

The duchess of Marlborough is now
fairly settled into grass widowhood
consequent to her separation from
the duke.
The duchess is no longer the sup
pie, plant woman, ready TO bend to
her husbands every wish and will. In
stead her grace is showing astonish-
ing business instinct. Sc manages en-
tlrely her own affairs and has a huge
establishment at Sunderland house
under her direct personal control
Her new existence is calling forth
| what in her are strange qualities. She
has become little imperious and ex-
hiblts less displays of temper that
| previously were entirely foreign to
her. She still regularly receives her
| legal adviser, the Hon. Charles Rus
| sell, but mis- visits are unconcernei
| with the duchess personal trouble
| They now relate to the management
! OF her recent fortune. During the
duchess recent stay at Beaulieu the
! duke could not resist the temptation
| to stroll around Sunderland house.
One dark night the duke stood under
| the window OF his former private
room staring up, and he made a most
pathetic figure. His pride has been
thoroughly humbled. The duchess
heard that tie duke had been hover
ing around CUMBERLAND.
TIE duchess is throwing herself with
unbounded zeal and enthusiasm into
charitable works. Her interest in the
church army is keener than ever. Pre-
boundary Carlisle frequently visits the
