Worthy Of Emulation.

the Calvary Baptist church in this
city deserves credit for the good sense
he has displayed in discouraging the
use Of Christmas trees by the mem.
bers of his congregation. The minist-
ers of this country would do well TO
initiate the example of DR.. Macarthur.
not so much because the Christmas
tree Is really relic of prechrstian

Football a Real Peril.

DIR. Lyman Abbott is a strong advo-
cate of football as developer of man
illness and courage. In a sermon to
Yale students the other day he said,
among other things, you can't develop
manly courage without facing real
perils,' he meant the perils of the
gridiron Perhaps the learned gentle
man is right. but would it not do to
use milder and less deadly method
to develop courage among the college
students? Would it not do to put the
young men to work in dynamite fac
tory, coal mine under trust manage
ment or a submarine boat?

The Germans Were ~wursted.v

The musical profession seems to be
a great deal more strenuous than most
people imagine There are always
fights and quarrels among the must
clans and others connected with the
profession. The Metropolitan opera
house has been the scene of many a
battle royal between the musicians, the
singers, the managers and the stage
employees and scarcely week pass
es without some little unpleasantness
within that temple of musical art. The
musical and perhaps racial antago-
nism between the representatives of
German and those of Italian music has
been the cause of a great deal of
trouble at the Metropolitan. The last
tilt took place few days ago and
ended with the victory of Italian opera
