No Promotion.

The late Bishop Doane of Albany.
strict conservative, had his own views
as 10 woman's place in the world. No
feminist this good Tory bishop. no ad-
vocate of "newness" of any sort.
Bishop Doane believed in marriage
of the real old fashioned kind. and to
bridegrooms at weddings he used some
times to make a little speech.
"My young friend" he would say to
the pale and nervous bridegroom, pat
ting him on the back. you are now
embarking on long. hazardous voy-
age. and bid you remember the Fin
nish proverb.
For the Finnish sailors have a
proverb to this effect:

mony signs as mate will never get pro-
noted. d."-New York Tribune.

What a pile Of junk the men OF the

Heap up all the books that are OF no
possible use. the contents OF ancient

gonies and discarded sciences. books Of
wrangling and tedious arguments the
world has willingly forgot. and the
myriads of chan products that pour
like a ceaseless niagara from the mod

mountain. and from its top you could
look down upon the Himalayas.
Think OF the ruined cities Of the orr

broken fragments Of castles by the
Rhine and the Danube. the Coliseum

In India the Natives Eat Bassia Tree
Blossoms Uncooked.
In these days one would hardly call
dinner Of rosebuds a feast, nor
should we be inclined to accept an in
vftatiOn to dine on the blossoms of the
pumpkin vine. Yet some Indians, like
the old Aztecs. used to esteem these
flowers. when properly prepared,
great dainty.
So, in the same way, do natives Of
many parts of India depend for food
upon the blossoms Of the bassia tree
They do not need even to cook the
flowers. but make a good meal of them
raw. These blossoms are described as
sweet and Sickly in odor and taste.
They are sometimes dried in the sun,
when they are kept and sold in ba'
zaars as a regular article Of diet.
The trees are so highly esteemed that
the threat of cutting down their bassia
trees will generally bring an unruly
tribe to terms. This IS perhaps not to
be wondered at when it is considered
that n single tree will yield from 2OC
I to 400 pounds of flowers. The Parsees
cook the flowers and also make sweet
meats Of them.
"Nobody would be inclined to deny
that smoked fish and smoked meat are
agreeable varieties in our bill OF fare
but few. perhaps, would feel ready t.
plead guilty to taste for smoked flow
ers. And yet. when we give to th'
Glove its we'll earned place among ia
vOrings we are making use OF
smoked flower bud. The buds grow Of
small evergreen and are plucke'
from the ends OF the branches befor
they expand. Then they are dried i

THE REVIVAL OF CROQUET

in England during the years Of the reign
ing Stuarts.
After its birth into England croquet en-
crossed the attention of SO many players
that numerously attended matches between
amateurs, experts and champions attract
ed a wide public interest. Moreton-in
the Marsh was the scene, In 1868. Of the
first all-comers' meeting in England, and
In that year was formed the All-England
Croquet Club. which held an annual
championship play at Wimbledon. The
of lawn tennis increased in England, but
in the mid nineties there came a cro-
quet revival and the United All-England
Croquet Association was formed.
Directly after its Introduction into Eng
land in 1856 croquet was imported into
the United States and it became, as every
one knows whose memory goes back a
generation or SO, a popular paStime for
young persons. though, Of course there
was no age limit on it's devotees. It had
become a very popular game before the
outbreak Of the civil war. It spread to
nearly every city home with a grass
plot and nearly every country home had
its croquet plot and croquet set. It's de-
in the eighties it came to be superseded
by lawn tennis Croquet players who had
established greater than ordinary skill
with the mallet turned their devotion to
roquet. which was and Is refined form
of croquet demanding a level court and
high degree Of dexterity.
Games, as other things. have their pc
riods Of boom and slump, and 1t may be
that revival Of the very good and fas-
cinating. though somewhat mild and gen.
tie, game of croquet has set in.

" MERSON, in one of his essays. says
r. that the society of the energetic
class is full of courage, and of at
tempts, which intimidate the pale scholar,
and that intellect and memory are mere
mendicants in the presence of these sud
den masters. This statement may be
taken, unreservedly. as the theme of the
famous battle Of Lundys Lane, fought
100 years ago, July 25. 1914, between the
skilled military forces OF the British.
which included some Of WeIington's vet
Grams. and the self-reliant Americans.
This battle is one Of the best known OF
the victories Of the war of 1872 and de-
mands glorification because it was
glowing example Of the triumph of su-
perior intrepidity.
The battle was planned by the British
generals. Riall and Drummond, as a
spanking to the raw Americans" for the
licking they dealt the British at Chippe-

troops were gathered together from al
of the surrounding forts until the num-
Der of that force exceeded that OF Maj.
Gen. Jacob Brown by about one-third.
Young Lieut. Col. Winfield Scott was In
command Of brigade of artillery, and 1t
was his action which precipitated the
battle.
Toward evening, the 24th, he marched
forward to threaten the British forts at
the mouth Of the river. Near the verge
of the falls he saw some British officers
leave house and mount their horses.
Scott took them to be an advance guard,
and dashed into the woods to disperse
them. There he was confronted with

@ROQUET is a game that may come
I back" Under the sponsorship of
Senator Cummins of Iowa, Mrs.
Champ Clark and other men and women
Of distinction in public life a croquet
revival has set in in Washington.
Croquet is a game so old that its origin
is obscure. Like most of the games that
men play, it was probably derivative
or revision Of an older game-which was
also the derivative Of an older game, etc.
and which has itself undergone consid-
cradle alteration during it's present gen.
eral form. No doubt in the centuries to
come it will undergo such changes of
form and name that remote posterity may
have to turn to antiquarian research to
trace 1t to the game which Is played to-
day as croQuet.
There Is kinship between all games
that are played with balls and sticks or
balls and clubs. and their blood-lines run
together at a time SO deep in the depths
of the past that no chronicles, intelligible
to US, survive. There Is a strong relation
ship between polo. croquet, billiards.
bowles. cricket, hockey, tennis and base
ball. and between these and other games
which remain to US only as mere names
If we could but securely and certainly
trace that relationship.
Croquet In nearly its present form
seems to have been introduced into Eng
land from Ireland in 1855, and 1t seems
to have been introduced into Ireland from
southern France in 1852. In that year it
was played on the lawn of Lord Ions
dale. and the story runs that 1t was play
ed there and then under the auspices OF
the eldest daughter of Sir Edmund Mac
naghten. who had learned it during a
residence in France. 1t came rapidly
into favor as a pastime in England, and
was strongly reminiscent of a game of
balls, mallets, hoops. or wickets. and
pegs, called pail mall,'' from the French
paille-maille which was popular game

And there, standing on a shady bank,
the Observer beheld sight that almost
broke his heart. A young man, a rather
