performance the anti-boxing agita-
ton is! And what lot of humbug
there is in the demands and insist

preachers that are degrading pas
time" be not permitted! 1t is sim
cerely regretable that Mayor Brans-
ford, usually level-headed and mod
ern, is led away by the Aunt Nancys
and Miss Prims of the local press and
pulpits and won't permit license to
issue for an exhibition of what is
really the most enjoyable and invig-
Grating and least dangerous of all of
the more robust pastimes. 1t has
now become a question of like curing
like; and when the next game Of foot
ball is announced let some stalwart
citizen promptly take steps to stop
it. More men have been manned,
disfgured End even killed in bah
than in boxing games ten times over,
anu IL VIC dl Z " lldNC dH Cllu put "
the 'ess dangerous of the strenuous
pastimes, let it be seen to that the
greater is also put to rest Then let
the reform wave roll on till we stop
the marble games and top-spinning
of the school boys, because they
sometimes fight and hurt each other
over such things, and it won't do,
you know. Let the old ladies in
pants have their way, shut out all
kinds of skilled roughness and en-
durance from the boys and let them
grow up-like some of those who in
sist upon such conditions obtaining
so many emasculated, MINDLESS, fab
by-muscled, timid limitations of the
great thing man.

Some of the papers awfully over
work the alleged" refuge. OF
course the design is to have the word
serve as shield in case of suit for
libel, or possibly shut out such suit
from the beginning. 1t is the cal

and so on; but the climax was reached
few days ago, when one the even
ing papers, speaking of some men
caught red-handed at gambling, re-
ferred to them as alleged gamb.
lers! Timidity and tyroism are hav-

BORROWED BOOKS.
The Way Their Return Prieked an
Artists Conscience.

The Way Their Return Prieked an
Artists Conscience.
In the course Of some "reminiscences
Of Sir Edward Burne-Jones "a corre-
spondent Of the Westminster Gazette
remarks: Those who are not Offend
ed" by the paradoxes Of Charles Lamb
would have delighted in Burne-Iones'
play Of humor and imagination. Let
me justify my reference to Charles
Lamb.
I once returned to Burne-Jones some
books which he had lent me thirty
years before. writing to him to the ef-
feet that if it was base to keep bor-
rowed books so long it was heroic to
return them after such long posses
sion as might well breed the sense of
ownership. In reply be said:
"The return Of those books has SIM
ply staggered me- It has also panied
me, fer it seems to raise the standard
Of morality in these matters and per
haps to sting the susceptible con-
sciences of book borrowers. L have
many borrowed books on my shelves.
I would rather the owners should die
than that should have to think about
these things and return them. I have
two costly volumes that were lent to
me before that little incident Of ours,
which, you may remember, was IN
Red Lion square. I hope the owner is
no more, for simply will not give
them up. And you have made me un.
easy and have helped to turn an ami
able rascal into a confirmed villain

Don't Be Too Thoughtful.

Some people are often accused OF be-
ing thoughtless, but better that should
happen sometimes than always being
regarded as too thoughtful. The habit
of thinking too deeply on every item
has an immense amount Of failure at
the bottom.
Whether it was best to learn short
hand or a language perplexed one in
dividual for seven months. He could
not make up his mind as to which he
would derive the most advantage from.
He might have learned any one Of
those accomplishments in the time he
took to think about it.
This is the case with many people,
and Fortune has an awkward habit Of
crushing the too thoughtful just as
much as the thoughtless.-London An
Swers.

Soain,s Popular BEVERAGE.

'Horchata de chufa" is the singular
name of the most popular drink in
Madrid. This is made from q nut
called ''chufa," yielding milky liquid
when reduced to pulp. This IS dt-
luted with water and forms q most
cooling and refreshing drink. How
ever. it IS an acquired taste. Very few
like it at the first trial. The horchata
may be made from different kinds Of
nuts. The almond is used also. Strange
to relate, the horchata de chufa is al
ways sold where mating IS kept for
sale, so that when you spy q roll Of
the latter outside the store door 1t is
q sufficient indication that in that par
ticular place you may procure glass
Of the horchata. In spite of inquiries,
l was unable to discover the origin OF
the singular combination Of articles on
sale.-London Truth.

SPECULATlNG ON SHIPS.
How Underwriters Gamble on Overdue
Vessels Posted at lioyCe.

How Underwriters G2nIple Oh CFeIoue
Vessels Posted at lioyce.
When 4 ship is overdue, IN oppor-
tunity is sometimes afforded for
gamble at Lloyds. 1t can be readily
understood that underwriters who are
interested in the "ovcrducs" are only
too willing to get rid of the risk by
gaying Il premium on the insured rate
to those who are willing. on their
terms, to relieve them Of their respon-
sibilities. The premium varies with
the chances Of the vessel turning up.
The smaller the chances the higher
the premium and vice versa.
The rates paying on "overdues'
serve as accurate barometers Of the
probabilities or otherwise Of the ship
ever being heard Of again. These un-
dcrwriters who speculate on over
dues" are generally known by the sig
nifcant name of doctors The insur-
ance on an overdue" may pass
through many channels before the
ship is, on the one hand, posted" at
I.loyds as missing or, on the other
hand. she arrives in safety.
\ ship is never posted until the.
committee is thoroughly satisfied that
her case is hopeless and until the own
er is Of the same opinion. : Before
posting" notice IS put up for
week inviting any information con-
cerning the vessel. If this elicits no
news, the committee at its next meet
ing votes the ship as missing" and a
notice is posted accordingly. The loss
is then settled and paid for. 1t may
be incidentally remarked that "post-
ing'' at Lloyds constitutes legal
death certificate for any one on board
the missing ships.-London Express.

Spend When You're Dead.
"I'm MT opposed to 4 man saving
money" remarked the undertaken,
lighting L fresh cigar but can't help
feeling that it is wrong for one to 10
it by mcanness and by denying one
self comforts. 1t is because l see so
much Of this that feel this way.
whatever is the reason I must say
that in my observation the usual result
is that when one has saved up money
by this self denial the ones who re-
ceive the money after death usually
waste It,
ITO illustrate this let me tell you Of
a specific case 4 few years ago an
elderly woman died in our city. I was
called to care for the remains. I as
sure you that the room into which I
went was one Of the barest and most
desolatc places ever saw. There was
none of those little things which so to
make room comfortable and cheer
full I couldn't but help thinking that
the poor woman's life had been
dreary one In way I still think so.
'She was a maiden lady about sew
enty. In the town was one woman
who had been her friend. She sent
word to me to bring the remains there.
No one supposed the deceased had
cent in the world. When we were
about to remove the body the people
of the house called my attention to a
small box which they said contained
all the effects of the dead woman.
"When we opened that box we found
that it contained $4,000, the old lady's
saving Of a lifetime.
"In ]ler efforts to hoard up this mon
ey she had gone without comforts and
necessities: had denied herself every
little luxury. What for? Answer it
If you can. can't.
a relative. the nearest one and the
only heir came on from a middle At
lantic state and took the remains home
with her for burial She also took the
money. On the day Of the funeral she
had several hacks at cost Of SIS each,
shen she made the driver Of each hack
4 present Of s.. gave the driver Of the
hearse the same sum and each Of the
two men who dug the grave s. and
spent $500 for a monument. The
rest Of the $1,000 she blew. At the
end Of six months every dollar Of it
was gone.
"And that old lady had gone without
necessities Of life to accumulate it.
"And, my friend, that is but one OF
several cases-yeS, Of scores Of them
that I could recite to you did I have
the mind."-Lewiston Journal.

Protoplasm.

Protoplasm is a living, transparent,
riscid substance Of proteid character,
containing 20 per cent Of water. 1t
coaguiates with heat at 130 degrees
and dies when the body Is raised to
this temperature. AS only dead proto-
plasm can be subjected to chemical
analysis it Is difficult to determine its
chemical nature. Its nearest allies are
to be found in the albuminoids, Of
which the white Of an egg Is a good
example. OF the real nature Of proto-
plasm there is, Of course, absolutely
nothing known.-New York American.
