ENGLISH SPORT.


II there Is any man on this earth.
white or black, who insists that bis
expenses in competitive sport must be
no drain on himself, that man Is the
Britisher. And he Is quite right An
amateur should be neither In nor out
dollar. 1t is entirely proper that bis
club, his college, his association or such
collection Of bodies as he represents
should pay his legitimate expenses
when he Is sent to compete for that
college or club or association or union.
England goes much farther and gives
much more latitude in the matter OF
expenses than we do. In cricket, fol
example, amateur" players In England
whose services are desired for the
county championship series are liter
ally found" during the entire season.
No graft of this kind could exist In
America without raising such storm
as would blow the whole thing to
kingdom come. Nor would we toler.
ate the conditions that obtain in Eng
lish track athletics and amateur foot
ball, both of which are stepped in COW
ert professionalism. And as for junk
etng-why, that comes near to being
the Englishmans alter ego-it is part
Of the English game. You might as
well deprive him of his dearest pos
session-his prejudice, for instance-as
deprive him of bis junket. Let the
stewards figure up how many good
American dollars have gone to satisfy
this national prediction through the
medium of cricketers, golfers and 9th
er English athletes that have visited
us.-Caspar Whitney in Outing Maya

WAYS OF THE TOAD.
Some of the Oddities of This Peculiar
Creature.

Some of the Oddities of This Peculiar
Creature.
It Is remarkable that the toad, low
Ing water as it does, should wander
away from watery regions to dry
ground, where 1t can never see a drop
Of water except at rain time and leave
It's water rights to the undisputed pos
session of its ranal neighbor the frog.
How the toad loves water must be
ever there Is q shower the creature
leaves its cool retreat under the piazza
or shed and stands as far as its fore
legs win let 1t, erect in the rain, ap-
parently enjoying to the utmost the
shower bath.
Whenever they are near the water
at breeding time they deposit long,
Shiny strings of eggs, and the young
toad has to go through the tadpole
stage in common with his brother frog
But when they are wholly excluded by
distance from the water they seem to
have the power of being viviparous,
or bringing forth their young alive.
In the water fertilization is effected
In the same manner as In fishes, but
the method In the land life career is
not known. About all that is known
Is that confined toads are found with
little toads, no larger than house flies
about them after time, and In walled
gardens and places far removed from
water little toads, no larger than peas
wandering around on their own re
sources and which could never have
been tadpoles, are within common ex
perience.

No Help For the Dying.

The extreme callousness of the old
English gamblers, or gentlemen, as
they were then called, is Illustrated by
the following account which Horace
Walpole, the celebrated letter writer,
gives of curious occurrence at
Whites coffee house in London. In
one Of his epistles to Sir Horace Mann,
under date of Sept 1, 1850, he says.
'"They have put into the papers good
story, made at Whites. A man dropped
down dead at the door and was carried
In. The club Immediately made bets
whether be was dead or not, and when
they were going to bleed him the wa
gerers for his death lnterposed and
said 1t would affect the fairness of the
bet, and they stopped their efforts"

fluid that thickens into q paste as it
dries. Nature provides for Its natural
exit from the ear passage by uniting

which fall outward unnoticed either by
seeing or feeling. Thus wax does not

pIaInt--Insist on Case
Being Pushed

Charged with forging two checks T.
Hartnell of 9ss South Broadway was ar
rested yesterday afternoon on COM
plant sworn to by @. w. Bell Of 1346
Newton street. Officers Hosick and
Craig consented to make the arrest only
with the express understanding that the
case would be prosecuted 20 the end.
The agreement was made necessary by
the action of corporations that use the
courts as collection agencies, dropping
the charges as soon as they have scared
the defendants into settlement.
/ Hartnell is alleged to have forged the
name of Bell to two checks amounting
in value to more than $50 The defen-
dant was at one time employed by Bell.
1t is believed by the detectives that Hart
nell. also is guilty of forging a check in
San Francisco and the northern authori-
ties will be notified Of the arrest.
The detectives say Hartnell admitted
Bells charges.
