The Game of Cricket.

Cricket dates from the reign of Queen Elizabeth and had its origin in rounders and stool ball. Lord Chester field was the first man of weight to take it up seriously and Eton the first public school. In those days scores were notched upon tally sticks. the ball had heavy cross seams. the bats were curved, and the felders stood al most in Indian file. The early laws of the game had tfieir inception at the. Star and Garter inn. Pail, Mall, and one of the few of these original laws which obtain today is that of the toss up. The wickets were twenty-two inches high and the ball six inches in diameter. The first county match was when Kent played all England in I'll.

cussing, And with the possibility

cussing. And with the possibility one might say the high probability that other causes of diplomatic fric- tion may arise, as the war goes on, it certainly would be more comfort able for the administration, charged with the handling of all these deli cate international matters, and more reassuring to a country desirous of remaining at peace, if congress were not to be in session after March 4.
 This feeling cannot but be deepen ed in any one who considers the in- creasing effort to bring political mo- lives to bear upon congress, in order to persuade it into some non-neutral step or altitude The new German American organization expressly avows it's determina+ion to throw it's vote in this country into the scale for Germany-in the sense, that is. of including or compelling congress to adopt certain measures. Agitations like this grow partly by their oppor' tunity to put pressure upon congress. If congress were not in session. the temptation to present petitions and to get flamboyant resolutions introduc- ed would be much lessened. In ses- sion, congress would be more and more inviting that sort of thing. It might easily take on proportions and form highly embarrassing to the president and injurious to the country Has MT. Wilson taken this possible peril into reckoning as he should, driving congress as ,he is straight towards an extra session?
 There has been much talk of late about making diplomacy more demo- cratic. In this there is certain amount of truth, but great deal Of nonsense. There should be the larg- est popular representation in the government, and every avenue of in formation and approach to it should be kept open. But. when all is said, the great decisions in international policy have to be made by the chos- en sew in the administration upon whom the people have placed the solemn and unacceptable responsibil- ity. Their judgment should not be dictated by clamor and the mob-spir- it, whether these find manifestation in mass meetings in Chicago and Milwaukee and New York, or in con- gress. r. has been said, and it seems true, that in 1898 President McKin- ley could have avoided war with Spain if congress had not been in session. Heaven send that the story may not be repeated in 1915!-Ex.

DeIhi's Famous Buildings.

Architecturally Delhi is one of the richest cities in the east. When the British took Delhi after the mutiny. many public men urged raging the city with all it's monuments level with the ground, and some Americans, moved bt the cruel treatment of British ladies by the mutineers, sympathized with the idea. like Oliver Wendell Holmes, with his famous Dele Delhi' pun. Happily wiser counsels prevailed and the vast palace of the Moguls. with it's famous inscription, If there be a paradise on earth. it is this, it is this, it is this," and the wonderful mosque of Shah Jehan. were spared from de- struction.

Enulish Pantomimes.

Though pantomime is generally re- garded as a purely British institution and rightly SO, for no other country puts nursery tales upon the stage at Christmas time-most of the stories we dramatize are drawn from foreign sources. "Bluebeard." Cinderella" and "Tom Thumb" we owe to France; Fuss In Boots, comes from Italy; Jack the Giant Killer halls from Norway; "Jack and the Beanstalk" came to us with the house of Hanover. and "Sindbad and the Sailor'' comes from the east. "The Babes In the Wood' and Little Red Riding Hood" are among the few fairy tales of purely English origin.

according to belief entertained in
administration circles. the present mill
tary deadlock existing on all the fronts
will have been emphasized and be-
come clear beyond peradventureF TO all
the nations. It will then be realized
that a decision can be reached only by
years more Of fighting and a tremen-
dous cost OF lives and money. All the
belligerents It is believed. will be In
frame Of mind to accept even tenn
porary peace. Colonel House, It is
understood, win be then in an ideal
position to act as agent Of President
Wilson as a mediator and go-between
for the belligerent nations.
