NEW YORK, December THE at
tendance at the big game has been
unprecedented this year, and the only
explanation that can be given Is that
the new style football has caught on"
with a vengeance and that at last the
majority OF the spectators can witness
a game with understanding. due TO the
open play that prevailed. Whatever
the cause, though. the fact remains
that the six greater games of the
year, those OF Princeton. Yale
Harvard, Harvard Carlisle, Pennsyl-
vania-Cornell, Army-Nayy and Chi
cago- Carlisle will probably call for a
total of 100000 in admissions.
or all the games those between Yale
and Harvard and Yale and Princeton
netted the greatest amounts. For the
game at New Haven the Bulldog and
the Tiger made an even division of
5000 and for the Harvard contest
the Ellis and the Johnnies shared
$6S,000 In equal parts.
The game between Harvard and the
Carlisle Indians. which was perhaps
next in attendance. with $4,000 spec
tators, brought In approximately $780,
Zoo, and the receipts from the Prince-
tom Carlisle game in this city were
almost as great, although the confess
tants did not benefit so much thereby.
When the Indians met Chicago $1,000
persons crowded through the gates of
the Mnroons athletic field and brought
$4,000 into the treasury.
NEW YORK, December .--.Football
Is nearer perfection to-day than 1t has
teen since the sport was first intro.
daced into American colleges in 1876"
Big Bill Edwards. former guard for
Princeton, later q famous coach, and
one OF the oft1cials in the recent Yale
Harvard game, made this statement III
reply to question as to whether the
rules needed to undergo more changes
before another season.
"Of course, there might be n few
beneficial changes on matters of minor
Importance, which have no direct bear
ing on the game, but even they could
he dispensed with. find the public
better pleased With the game to-day
than ! have ever known, and, as all
players must realize. the public Is a
Very important factor In football or
any other sport that is national In
character.
The new rules have done two things
of the greatest Importance to football,
continued Mi Edwards. First. they
have cut down the list of injured more
than so per cent. Second, they have
,n:.de the game SO open that the public
can better see the plays, and, there
fore, more thoroughly appreciate the
science Of the sport. ! see no chance

Wehatar Said Nay.

Hon. Warren F. Daniel of Frank. lin, N. H., ex-member of congress from this district, told the following: He worked in a paper mill when boy and had to make such long days that he had no time to go anywhere dur Ing the day.
 He had learned that MT. Webster who lived some four miles away. had imported some dne cattle. and being very fond of animals, induced his mother to allow him to go to sec them Sunday after church service.
 So he and another boy went down Upon arriving at the farm they met iIr. Webster, who inquired what they wanted. When MT. D. explained MT Webster said:
 Boys, did you not know this is the Lords day, and you cannot sec the cattle?"
 MT D. explained that they had nc Ither time, and had been to church twice, and that his mother had given them permission to come; but Mir Webster would not change his origina decision.

Every Han HIs Own Doctor.

The average man cannot afford to employ a good physician for every slight all ment or injury that may occur In his family nor can he afford to neglect them, as SD slight an injury as the scratch Of a pin has been known to cause the loss of limb.

TROUSERS UNDER THE BAN.
Less Than Century Ago They Were
 Considered irreligaous.

It will assuredly seem more than strange that within the past hundred years the wearing of trousers has been regarded as irremgious. The fact that in October, 1872. an order was made by St. Johns aud Trinity col leges that every young man who ap- peared in hall or chapel in pantaloons or trousers should be considered as absent is startling enough; but it would appear that eight years later the founders of a Bethel chapel at Sheffield inserted clause in the trust deed ordaining that under no circumstances whatever shall any preacher be allowed to occupy tho pulpit who wears trousers" This is striking, but it is even more impress sive to find that Rev. Hugh Bourne, one of the two founders of the Primi- tive Methodist Connexion, said of his confounder, That trousers wearing beer drinking Gloves will never get to heaven" And it would need stu dent of the Brooches Bible" to say precisely when this assumed con nection between theology and trousers began and where the departure from 1t will end.-Notes and Queries.

STYLES OF 4,ooo YEARS AGO.
Tend to Prove There Is Nothing New
 Under the Sun.

For women archaeology assumes a deeply interesting phase in the ques ton which has been raised by Signor Mosso as to styles in dress as they existed 1000 years ago Signor Mos so, the eminent authority on ancient Etruria, the Roman Forum, and early Crete, has concentrated his great ex. perience and knowledge on elucidat ing this bypath of science from his Cretan studies. The general result has been to confirm the old dictum that there is nothing new under the sun. Even the latest fashions" are antiquated Signor Mosso finds that 1000 years ago the ladies of primeval Mycenae wore hats pretty much AS they are seen in the showrooms of Paris today. They knew what crape trimming was, had tartans before the Scotch, understood the mysteries of corsets lacing in front, short wide sleeves, metal belts. and style of dress which an initiative nineteenth century, that considered itself orig inal, dubbed Empire" Their prin. cipal colors in robes were orange, yellow, blue and purple, which rather upsets the claim of the Phoenicians to have discovered" purple

sioh.s of Employees Laid Down.


 "Framers of the earliest laws which have come down to us gave particular attention to the question d the rights of employees" writes an observer. Those wonderful statutes which the great Babylonian king, Hammurabi. codified over 40 centuries ago have law upon law devoted to the rights of servants. If the servants were free born then their rate of payment was fixed for them. their scale of compen- sation established In the event of .heir suffering loss or injury. For the most part. of course, the servants O. that age were slaves For these, too. provision was made. If doctor in Iured a servant in surgical operation he had to pay half the price which that slave cost; if death resulted the master received slave for slave. If the patient were cured. then his master had to pay the doctors fee--two shekels of silver"

He knocked according Ny at the door, inquiring if Friend Aminidab was at home and if he could see him. The housekeeper said, Walk in. friend. and he shall see thee" The bailiif, delighted to have got this sue cess, was directed to wait; but after waiting an hour he became impatient, rang the bell, and said to the servant, Thou promised me I should see Friend Aminadab" No, friend" an swered she; T promised he should see thee.

"cET THE FIRST s1.ooo.r
Ancient Axiom That Has Set Many
 Men to Saving.

Get the first s1.000. After that money-making is easy" This is the old-time sage advice of the hard-head ed, self-made man. That axiom has set many men to saving. They fix upon that sum as the glittering, far off herald of fortune something to be made. To man on small salary "a salary, say, out of which some thing can be saved weekly without too much deprivation-the advice is good There Is something in 1t that acts as a stimulus to economy And who will deny that economy is a good thing or that any truth that lights the way to it should not be known? Many men, therefore, have been buoyed up in their economies by the belief that the first $1 ,000 is the hard est to get, and that afterward all the rest would be easy and the good things of the world that follow boun. teous supply of money would be with. in easy reach. says a writer in the Denver Republican. It is a pity that the man who invented that saying could not also have told us with equal advantage how to turn the s1 ,0o0 over and make two of 1t. It takes a long time to make wage-earner see that money works" His idea of mak ing money is to work for it himself It never occurs to him that money works much easier than he can and without any of the hardships he himself experiences-tha is to say, until he has got the first s100o. That usually makes a young man feel like a fnancier, and he talks wisely of investments.

Town Enriched by Earthquake.

Wita all the harm that earthquakes do," said a rug dealer, "it is pleasant to hear of an entire town that an earthquake enriched.
 The town I mean is Ouzoun-Ada, on the Caspian sea, the terminus of the Trans-Caspian and Samarkand railway. Ouzoun-Ada in the past had a miserable port, but few years ago an earthquake visited her and on it's departure she found herself the richer by a harbor deep enough to float the largest ships.
 Since that fortunate visit Ouzoun- Ada's population and wealth have trebled. Philadelphia Bulletin.

The right kind of wife never harps upon her husbands misdeeds. still less does she remind him of his misfor- tunes. No woman should marry a man unless her love for him be of the fiber which hopeth all things, believeth all things. and is not easily provoked, l" says Home Chat. The right kind of wife helps man when he falls an en- courages him to try again. instead of railing at him for the stumble after he has risen to his feet.
