Illus Dragatus. a noted Roman baker
and confectioner. a member Of the
family Of the Fabil.
Dragatus put forth the first speci-
men OF this confection in the year III
B. c. The bonbons Of this variety
we're called dragat. after their inven-
tor [dragees is French), and their
manufacture constituted a monopoly
enjoyed exclusively by the Fabian
family. Whenever there was a birth
Or marriage in that family a great
distribution of dragati took place as
an evidence Of rejoicing. This Gus
tom is still retained by certain Of the
Did noble families Of Europe.
The pastile is Of far later origin.
II was invented and introduced into
France by an Italian confectioner, the
Florentine Pastilla. protege OF the
Medici When Maria de Medici mar
ried Henry Nv Of France Pastilla ac-
companied his royal patron TO the
French court. where his bonbons soon
achieved a tremendous vogue. Every

on the Thames river here tomorrow.
are awaiting the events in confidence.
The first event Of the day. the
freshman eightoared race. is sched-
uled to start at 1880 tomorrow morn
ing. The race viii be rowed over a
two-mile course up stream. starting
at the railroad bridge and finishing
at the navy yard.
The varsity four-oared race without
coxswains will start half hour later.
This race also win be over two-mile
course. starting at the navy yard and
finishing at a point opposite the Har-
ward quarters.
The big race of the day--that Of
the varsity eights, will start at 5
O'Clock, barring delays, from a point
opposite the Harvard quarters, for
the four-mile contest down the course.
New London is today filling up
with the usual regatta crowd. The
majority Of the arrivals are Yale men,
the Harvard followers being delayed
by the commencement exercises
which take place at the Cambridge
institution today BY noon tomorrow
it is expected that one of the largest
crowds that ever witnessed a regatta
of the Blue and Crimson will be here.
The training quarters of both crews
were besieged by visitors today, who
were anxious to witness the final
practice work and form their opinions
as to the relative strength and con-
dition of the oarsmen. The judgment
of the majority OF the experts ap-
pears to be that the varsity eights
are both in splendid trim and that the
race tomorrow is likely to be more
closely contested than the event Of
last year.
1t is just sixty years since the first
race was rowed between crews rep
resenting Yale and Harvard. The
event was held on Lake Winnepesau-
kee and resulted in a victory for
Harvard. Since 1878 the contests have
taken place on the Thames river
course. OF the total of forty-five races
Yale has won 2S and Harvard 22

OF What Use Are weY

We sometimes wonder Of what use
we are, and why we are put on earth
One day is added to another and we
seem to be no farther advanced on
the pathway of our lives. AS Mark
Twain would have put it, we do not
appear to be gaining on the scenery.
Yet there is room in the world, and
need in the world, for each and every
one of us, and therefore, we must keep
on going to the end. Emerson has a
poem in which the squirrel talks to
the mountain says: 'Tf cannot carry
forests on my back neither can you
crack a nut" You can do something
nobody else can do; namely, live your
life. You have your chance. if you
will only take it, and have mine II
we can do nothing else we can at least
be some ones friend, and there is
nothing that the world more keenly
wants and more sadly needs.-Ladies'
Home Journal.

sprIna showers In old Garden.

1T is rare delight to wander in
an old garden OF late afternoon just
after a shower, when the day has been
Intensely hot and all Nature has fairly
thirsted for rain. The flowers have
dropped and the leaves curled for
want of moisture. Even the birds
have sought shelter from the fierce
rays of the sun, when, late in the aft
ernoon, suddenly, almost without
warning, the welcome rain descends.
A quick shower, soon over; and when
the sun comes out clear and bright,
all unmindful of the wet, you gather
your skirts about you and 60 into the
garden to watch the unfolding of the
wilted leaves. You lift here and there
fiower-stalk which the rain has beat
en- down; you wonder where the bees
have taken refuge from the sudden
downpour; you find one in the deep
cup of lily, another in the depth OF
gladiolus blossom; farther on you
see a rose which should have been
added to your rose Jar when you gath.

It Requires Great Moral Courage to

To me the practice of devouring
any animal life in its entirety is, and
always has been, most difficult. The
terrible demand OF the oyster is that
he be swallowed as unit, with all
his hopes, his joys, his sorrows, his
love, his fears, and his ears and his
tears; the thought is appalling.
