LISBON'S MONOCLE VAR.
Young Men wear The Glass In the Right
Eye and Old Chaps In the Left.

The monocle. the glass OF fashion in
Lisbon Just now. ia the cause Of a fierce
struggle in social life in the Portuguese
capital. There are two factions in the fight.
Their usual battle ground il the Teatro
Real de Sac Carlos. where Italian opera is
sung through the winter. One party
favors the wearing OF the monocle in the
right eye, the other in the left.
Thus there is the party Of the Right and
that Of the Left. There is no Blue Bench;
no Socialist element; no Centrum. except that
perhaps the King, Don Carlos, represents
the compromise party. Every evening
that opera is given he sits in the royal box
with the Queen and his brother and surveys
the animated scene.
In way the Liberals are those who
sport the mOnocle in the right eye. They
are the younger men. Those who wear
soft bosomed shirts with full dress clothing
insert the monocle in the right eye and
fash through il defiant CLEANS at the gray
haired chaps who favor the opposite side OF
the face.
Actual hostilities never have broken out
between members of the two factions. that
is, not to the extent OF calling out one
another But the doings Of one faction
are closely watched by the other.
One day a young man appears At the
opera with a monOcla in the sinister eye
The news Of his withdrawal from his old
party flies rapidly about. Delegates are
sent to argue with him. Ostracism il
threatened
What measures might he used 10 force
him back into the ranks can hardly be set
forth. Eventually he is likely to return TO
his old party, for il Ia more a matter Of
birth and education which rules the proper
place to wear the monoole than all else.
There il, of course, a time when a change
from one TO the other Is made with
argument. As the party OF the left is made
up OF older men, II is a confession OF age
when one OF the right voluntarily gives
up his sign OF adolescence. Contrariwse,
many Of the older men who want to he
considered young shift suddenly to the
right.
In a general wav the lines are strictly
drawn and there is no backsliding. Over
il all the King maintains strict neutrality.
He does not wear a monocle at all.
IL may be that his chubby countenance
would not permit the proper adjustment
OF the glass. Perhaps, too, his mustache
with points turned up fierce and bristlng
might tend to pry the monocle from
either eye.

The Princeton Alumni Weekly recently
printed summary Of statistics obtained
by Prof. Howard McClenahan, "a, secre-
tary OF the faculty committee on outdoor
sports at Princeton. 1t is seen from the
report that OF students who have ever been
members OF either a varsity or a scrub
team in any branch Of sport major or
minor, there are 800 altogether, which is
estimated at rs per cent. OF the college en-
rollment. On the basis Of these figures
there are some very interesting deductions
For instance OF the 2l0 students who re-
ceived partial remission Of tuition fees
only twenty were athletes under the classi-
hcation given above. Also Of ia students
who helped out their incomes by manaR-
ing eating clubs only thirty-four were
athletes.
Last year instead Of having about 20
per cent. Of eating club managers athletes
there we're is per cent. The proportion
OF athletes who received remission OF tuition
also was much below normal this year
being about 10 per cent. OF these figures
and what they develop in regard to athletic
purity the Weekly makes only the slgnih-
cant comment: These figures have more
than a merely academic interest

FERRETS LAY TELEPHONE WIRES.
Ingenious Way Of Using Them in Under
ground Duets.

Do the labor unions know that ferrets
and rats are working without union cards
in Indianapolis, Terre Haute. Lafayette and
Huntington, Ind?
The fact Ia admitted by Mr.. Cline, super
intendent Of construction Of a telephone
company at Indianapolis. He states that
they are used in connection with laying
wires in underground ducts.
when we first began TO use ferrets, .
says Mr.. Cline in letter to 81. Nicholas, we
halted them or enticed them through the
duct by hanging piece Of raw meat at the
opposite end. Our latest experiments have
been by the use OF live rat, started through
the duct ahead of the ferret. This entices
the ferret to follow the rat through the
section Of duct TO the next manhole, where
the rat Is Gagged and used for another sec
ton.
Before starting the ferret through the
duct he is harnessed up with a collar and
Rirth, to which 10 attached the end OF a ball
Of lacing twine. As the ferret goes through
the duct he pulls the lacing twine after him
and when he reaches the other end we have
a string through the section Of duct by
means Of whichtwe pull a small wire through
and with this wire the pulling in rope ia
drawn through the Duct. The pulling in
rope may he either one and a quarter
inch manila or hve-eighths inch flexible
wire
I'VE also keep the ferrets well fed until
within about twenty-four hours before they
are used. a. the tendency Of ferret 10 TO do
better work when he 10 hungry

An analysis Of the standing Of the COL
leges which scored points in the intercol-
legiate games in 1905 seems to show that
Cornell has Jared best In the matter Of
veterans for the coming games. Cornell
has left men who scored 20 points out of SS,
but Pennsylvania has all those who made
her % points. Harvard has IL points rep
resented out OF 2i: Yale II out Of lS and
Syracuse II out OF II. Colgate has lost
Castleman and has not a man left. Am
herst has John Hubbard, who got all points
for the New Englanders. Princeton retains
Z out Of points and Swarthmore out Of
Z. Dartmouth and Lafayette each have two
points left, but Stevens loses it's two from
last year.
On actual figures these seem to show
Cornell ahead, but as a matter Of fact the
percentage Of Pennsylvania and Syracuse
are overwhelmingly in favor Of these col
leges. At this time in the intercollegiate
athletic world, when the intercollegiate
track and field championship seems more
important than ever before. those who
believe they know are saving that IL would
