a Steady Job

The origin of graft is probably in
the discovery that something easy
brings in large reward. The only
problem, then, is to find the easy
thing. Tastes differ A writer in Lip
pincott's Magazine gives an example
of graft" which most persons would
not care to cultivate.
An expert golfer had the misfortune
to play particularly vigorous stroke
at the moment that a seedy wayfarer
skulked across the edge of the course.
The ball struck the trespasser and rem
dered him insensible for brief time.
When he recovered, a five-dollar bill
was pressed into his hand by the re-
gretful golfer.
'Thanky, SIR said the injured man.
after a kindling glance at the money.
"An' when will you be playin' again,
sir?"

Board for War Game.

represent soldiers, one side being
French and the other side German.
Each player is provided with a sharp
ly pointed pencil, and the game is
played thus:
The German, keeping the point of
his pencil on a spot denoted by a
cannon, drags it quickly across the
slate in the direction of the other
army. The pencil naturally leaves a
line to mark his track, and if this
mark passes through any of the men
belonging to the other side, they are
considered dead The game is over
as soon as all the men on one side are
dead. Each player has certain space
on the slate allotted to him, and he
may dispose of his men in whatever
part of it he pleases.
The track of the pencil must be
straight of curved; any shot in which
there is an angle does not count. We
here give a battlefield where the strife
is ended. In this the German side
has killed all the opposite side in eight
shots, while the French in eight have
only been able to kill nine men,

The Easy Chair.

only the Englishman knows the sci
ence of sitting down. He alone
mas evolved the chair which RECEIVERS
Tor Its students all the comfort that
mas been lost in the day, all the hope
mat the morning may so inhospitably
nave barred, says the Saturday Re-
view. Watch, say, Frenchman in
an English easy chair and Won will
nnd him no worthy apprentice of the
science. He is Ill at ease and out Of
sympathy with the chair But the
Englishman has no such quarrel with
comfort. He does not, as the French
man. sit at attention. There needs
not, In fact, be any doubt that Eng.
lands position as optimist among the
nations is due largely to the appre-
ciatlon or the easy chair. Had Soho
penhauer lived in England and been
instructed in the art of sitting down
ne would have written dainty testimo.
malls Of the charm of human nature.
rope had no optimism, and it is not
surprising that he complained of the
rack of a too easy chair" for only
an optimist can be comfortable.
Whistler refused to have an easy
chair in his house, and quite inev-
itably wrote book on the art of max
ang enemies. Carlyle lived among
the hard angles Of uncomfortable fur
niture and wrote irritably. A mans
literary taste, it may as well be said,
is not formed so much by his educa-
ton or his early life, or his friends,
as by his chairs. A man without an
easy chair would develop an austere
taste. He would read Bacon, Hume,
Macaulay. A man with an uncom.
Portable easy chair would read Hazlitt,
Carlyle, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, H.
sen. A man with a chair which he
had nodded to all the whims of his
body would read Dickens, Lamb,
Shakespeare, Meredith, Flaubert, Ten.
nyson. No one, fortunately, has a
finer instinct for comfort than the
Englishman, and so long as this Is so
there should be no danger of the de-
cline of good books and poetry and
optimism. Only the man who has an
easy chair can read the right books.

The mobilization OF all British war
ships in home waters, available for
immediate service, was completed
June 80 for the annual naval maneu-
yers, and Admiral Lord Charles Beres-
ford found himself in supreme COM
mand of total of not less than So1
ships, with an aggregate complement
of $1,000 oflcers and men. The news
papers, while they proclaimed that
the array Of such force in the North
sea is In no manner connected with
Germany, do not fail incidentally to
compare this, the greatest feet ever
assembled in the history OF the world
with the fleet Of g. vessels with which
Germany recently carried out her
North sea maneuvers.

Royal Parente GETTING Wise.

Generalization and severe training
have been the bane of youths born to
become sovereigns, for the reaction
has ever led them into excuses which
proved their ruin. Had Crown Prince
Rudolph of Austria, for instance, re-
ceived proper care, as a boy, he could
not have gone to the devil as he did,
and would not have died an ignoble
death. The mistake is admitted now
when too late, for the present gen
GRAFTON of royal families, but there Is
q promise that common sense will be
used in the bringing up of the next,
for even the venerable Emperor Franz
josef is said to realize the dan
gers OF the older methods, and what
a hard time his only son had with his
tutors and masters. There seems to
have been no home influence in the
routine of the education of princes.
Mother is eliminated. The German
emperor, with all his martinez ideas,
has not forbidden certain amount of
mother" in his six sons bringing up,
30 the empress has seen more of her
children after they left the nursery
than was formerly the custom with
rigorous court etiquette, and their
health, at least, has been well looked
after. The crown prince of Austria g
fate was not in vain, says the Boston
Herald, if it has taught royal parents
the wisdom of the newer education;
that while drilling and examining the
poor little bodies and brains, their
moral and human qualities must be
cultivated In the affectionate at
mosphere Of home. It is said the chill
dren Of the young king and queen OF
Spain will be brought up according to
the new ideas, and some traditions OF
Spanish education are to be rudely
shattered for the good of a future
monarch's constitution and his mental
development.

Neromus Hns Hard Job-Takcs For
 ty-hve Minutes.
 Not in the history of this state has such scene of exciting but in no wise brutal conflict been witnessed as that of last evening at the White City between Neromus as he spells his name, the bull fighter and great black bull. Five thousand people watched the struggle which was one of colossal scientific strength on the part of tho man as against the unmeasured force of the animal,
 The man Is certainly remarkable in his phyelcal development, his muscles standing out like great hills. He made no attempt to bewider the animal but after a few dexterous movements took 1t by the horns, Then followed a re- markable scene, Around the arena both struggled. Twice Neromus had his antagonist on its knees only to lose the advantage by a desperate jerk of It's head by the bull. The contest waged for 45 minutes when finally the man conquered as with one terrific effort he fairly turned the bull off its feet onto its back.
 Neromus declares he will throw the bull in l2 minutes tonight. Do not miss thjs remarkable performance. It is one l of lifetime.
