Hayes Is Dangerous.
Now for Grover Hayes The CoIum-
bus lightweight is no SLOUGH. He is
veteran, with plenty Of pep and a
terrific punch still carried in his left
hand Veterans, with their ring ex-
per1ence and thir natural craftiness,
are dangerous fellows for young fight
ers to face Leach Cross is the best
example in proof OF this assertion
Cross. dubbed the old man OF the
ring, is regarded as the most dan
gerous contender for lightweight
Championship honors.
In training, Hayes has won a lot Of
followers by his aggressive, willing
-go-ln-it-style. That he can hit
hard has also been proved, both from
observation and from statements made
by his luckless sparring partners.
Like all boxers, veterans or young
sters, Hayes believes he still has a
chance to be a titleholder. II is this
ambition, this hope, that keeps him
IN the ring and which makes him give
the very best that is in him whenever
ne fights. A victory over Dundee
would prove Hayes to be a Come
back and put him in direct line for a
chance at Freddie Welsh. A defeat
will put him in the scrapheap Of dis
carded boxers, from which few fight

SEEK TO PRESERVE EAGLE
King of Birds Does Much Damage, but Swiss Authorities Decide to
 Protect 1t.

Eagles are gradually disappearing from the peaks of Switzerland, and the grand council has found it neces- sary to take steps to prevent the com plete destruction of these noble birds of prey. Till recently eagles were methodically hunted all the year round in the Bernese Oberland, and last year whole family of eagles was destroyed so ruthlessly at Murren that the cantonal authorities were request ed to intervene. Unfortunately since the measure of protection, a pair Of eagles in the Muota Valley have de- stroyed so many sheep and goats that the inhabitants have requested the au- thorities of Schwyz to repeal the en- actment. The Society for the Protec- tion of the Countryside has endeay- ored to calm the agitation by giving the damaged proprietors an indemnity of 200 francs. The sum has been con sidered insufficient and the discontent has increased. The people of the val ley demand not only the right to hunt the eagle. but also a reward for each bird killed Nevertheless. the canton al authorities have decided to main- tain the protection for year

Timely Admonltlon,

The death of child as a result of its clothing catching fire from an open grate has moved Coroner Jamison to admonish parents that the safetly of tfeir loved one is imperiled by the tolerance in homes of unscreened grates and gas stoves. Year after year the advent of cold weather has marked the beginning of a long list of fire fatalities. probably the most agonizing form of death, and yet, in spite of such warnings, the unscreen- ed grate is the exception and not the rule. In the months of January and February of the present year no less than P children were burned to death as result of the use of open coal and gas grates, and during the year many women have met similar fate.

Educatina the EmpIoye.

Large industrial companies have long since learned that educated em- ployes are better than those possess ing no education whatever. Taken all in all an educated man has a better chance to earn livelihood. Men of this type, however, are not plentiful and 1t is oftentimes necessary for a progressive company to supply what Is lacking In Brooklyn any employe of the electric light company may se- feet any course at any school or col fege in New York city which will be of assistance in his or her work with the company and have the tuition fee, subject to approval of the company's s scholarship committee. paid in ad- vance by the company, the amount be- ing deducted in weekly installments sufficient to pay for the course at its completion.

Old Sunday School.

There Is many an old collier, agri- cultural laborer and factory opera tive still living who owes knowledge of reading, writing and arithmetic to attendance at Sunday school, for down to quite modern times secular as well as religious instruction was given. relates the London Chronicle The change came with the enactment of compulsory education in 1870; and an aunt, still happily vigorous. and alert, has told me her embarrassment when, as young girl who had just left Miss Pinkerton's academy, she found among the class allotted to her in the Sunday school the gray-haired old coal dealer of the village, who wished to learn arithmetic. For many years also Sunday school teachers were regularly paid, Robert Raikes for instance, gave his assistants Is 6d per Sunday.

Recorded in Egyptian Lore.

In the worlds most ancient records the monuments of Egypt-we find evidence of the existence of the cove nant of blood. Even then 1t seems to have been custom to covenant by tasting the blood from another's arm In the Book of the Dead" the most ancient and most important of the sa- cred books of the Egyptians, there are several references to blood covenant ing and incidontal mention of the tast- ing of blood by gods and by men. An inscription on an ancient Egyptian monument details legend of the re- Dellion of mankind against the gods; ot an edict of destruction against the human race; of divine interpretation TOT the rescue of the doomed people. In this legend prominent part is giv. on to human blood mixed with the luice of mandrakes (love apples) and prepared as drink to propitiate the offended gods.

Old Cider Glasses.

One of the latest of the rages of ardent collectors is for old cider glasses, especially those engraved with an apple tree or wreath of ap- pies and leaves. and occasionally the motto No Excise" in protest against the excise duties on cider and other liquors, which caused such a revolt among farmers in 176S.
 Old coaching glasses are also in- teresting and rare, says the Gentle woman. They were so called because when a coach stopped to change horses in olden days at an inn these glasses were brought to the passenger by an attendant. and the contents had to be taken at once-in a draught as a rule-for they had no feet, and so were called "No Heel Taps" and could not be laid down until the liquor had been consumed.
 Perhaps quaintest of all specimens of old glass are sets of egg cups in Waterford. both uncommon and very valuable.

MANS LOVE FOR THE DOG
Strong Spirit of Affection That Binds Them Together Has Long Been
 Matter of Note.

The day before I reached Chitna I met trapper carrying five little pup pies on his back. He had the mother dog with him in good condition. He had been three days (two of them without any food making 12 miles rather than sacrifice these dogs and he had frozen his feet and hands so badly as result that I am afraid he was bound to lose some of his fingers and toes.
 I like to think that I finished my 1,000-mile trip in 21 days with the same five dogs with which I started and that not one of them had even a sore foot during the entire journey In fact, before l started Psyriak had cut his left hind foot, which made it necessary to mucklock it, but when finished my journey he was in better condition than at first.
 Not once during the whole way did sit on the sled; I pushed it for at least 300 miles and ran beside 1t for another 300. Running became such habit that when l got to Cordoya and started to go down the street found myself unconsciously running. 1 really had to learn to walk from the beginning all over again.
 l hated to part with my dogs, but as our country is too hot for them l decided to give them away. 1 broke up the team and separated them, so that they would not work together again. I had several chances to sell them, but I could not think of do ing so.
 When I boarded the boat at Valdez, where I left two of my dogs, my lead CT Psyriak, tried to get up the gang plank after me, but when they would not let him he stood there until the boat pulled out, whining as much as to say, How can you desert me now ?"- Lieut.. George F. Waugh in Worlds Work.

True City PRIDE.

Mayor Mutchel, of New York, Henry Bruere,
his city chamberlain, and other prominent
officials, are preparing to visit the Cincin-
natl university, the University of Wisconsin at
Madison and the schools of Gary, Indiana, in
order to study the methods there used with a
view of their possible adoption by the schools
of New York.
The Cincinnati university is famous for its
vocational courses and it's intimate connection
with the business life of it's city. The Univer-
sity of Wisconsin is known the world over for
it's extension system, uneXcelled method of
reaching the citizens of the state with cultural

vocational training to unprecedented extent,
so merging the industrial with the academic as
to produce system of training unique in the
country.
note struck in common by all these insti-
tutons is the characterization of education.
They are working for education that is a
preparation for life, not life in some imaginary
future but as it exists about us. The fact that
the largest city in the country is planning to
launch forth along these lines more completely
is very significant of the changed ideals of edu-
cation, the change being felt in Richmond in
every other American city with increasing urg-
ency.

Keep Clean. ="

The enthusiasm, the noise and the flare of
Cleanup Week have subsidized and public at
tention has been directed elsewhere. But why
should the interest set in motion at that time
be permitted to subside? The need for cleanli-
ness is constant. Germs are active the year
around. Weeds will flourish until frost. Rub
Dish is no respecter of seasons Filth accumu-
lates but cleanliness doesn't.
Every housewife knows that keeping home
clean is matter of constant effort. Her bat
ties with dirt are perennial. If she lets up for
few days. she knows it merely means re-
doubled efforts later on.
The is true of the larger household,
the city. 1t is only by constant endeavor that
a back yard or an alley can be persuaded to re-
main in decent condition. It is perfectly aston
ishing how fruitful are such places of garbage
piles, dump heaps, ashes, rubbish and what-not
if given an opportunity.
For this reason it is necessary to adopt the
motto, Eternal vigilance is the price of clean
liness.' Any sunshine soldier can hustle under
the banner "CLEAN UP' but it is the truly pa
triotic citizen who every day flies the flag
