First PhrenoIoolst unpopular.

The man who originated the science
Of phrenOlogy had TO leave not only
his land. but also one of it's neighbOrs
and seek shelter among strangers
This was Franz Joseph Gall. a Ger
man scientist. who was born in 1853.
From the fatherland he went 10 Vi

versity Of that city. delivered his first
great lecture on his pet subject. This
was in 1896. For a while he was mere
" ridiculed, but before long somebody
began TO feel that his theory might not
be i'm keeping with what the Bible said,
and in 1905 the Austrian government
interdicted his lectures as dangerous
TO religion, and Gall came near tast-
ing prison fare in an Austrian jail.

Wedding Rings.

Wedding rings have been worn since
time immemOrial and their origin can
only be a matter Of conjecture. The
first rings were probably made for
kings, with their seal engraved on II.
This ring, at sight OF which all must
obey, gradually impressed the common
people with the belief that II was not
the seal but the ring which held the
power. This belief of the credulOus
was exploited by magicians and
priests. and they began to sell rings
as charms. Not much over a century
ago it was still believed that rings
could cure cramps, bilious complaints,
blindness, epilepsy, etc. OF course, IN
early days. young lovers would spend
their all TO procure rings that might
protect the loved one from harm. To
this day, in France. rings Of hay.
straw and horseshoe nails are given
on -betrothal as protection against di-
abolical arts.

THE LAST CHAPTER

THE hunters Joy is in the tale,
More great than in the kill;
The sailor rides the wintry gale
Not for the wintry thrill
But that at nighttime he may sit
Before the fire recounting ii.
For this men climb the steepest mount
And walk the widest plain,
And bring TO firesides an account
OF all the toll and pain
The toll and pain made pleasure when
They tell the tale TO other men.
For Memory is healing nurse
Who makes our minds forget
The rocks and rivers that we curse
No, we remember yet,
And yet remember rather glad
For every hurt we ever had.
LIES an Adventure, like the trail
The cruise across the seas;
II has it's hill, it has its gale,
1t has its memories;
And we shall sit in quiet age
Made glad by every blotted page.
Yes. Time shall soften every fall
And leave the story dear.
Life shall be lovely, after ALL
The hurts shall disappear;
without occasional defeat
LIES story had not been complete.

4-Mile Grew Race
Princeton's Mentor Favors
Shorter Distances as Best
to Test Merits of Men
specia, Dispatch to The Tribune

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. May L. Guy
Nickalls, head coach Of Yale crews,
would abolish short races, as he finds
them more dangerous to the health Of
the participants and poorer test Of
Craftsmanship than four-mile row. In
a special article in The Harvard Grim
son Coach Nickalls says:
"The four-mile race is safer for the
snan's general health and physical At
ness than the distance Of one mile and
tive-sixteenths. Heart trouble is gem
orally traced to the shorter races and
seldom to the longer races. Had my
way would have no races under four
miles for interuniversity contests"
DR.. Spaeth, Princeton's coach, favors
the shorter distances and Is desiroue
of seeing Harvard, Princeton and Yale
engage in triangular race yearly
over two-mile course.
Bill Haines. defending the four-mile
race, said: "In my opinion the four
mile race is the best distance to bring
out the best there is in a man. The
crews are taught that not only good
rowing is necessary in this contest,
but stamina is also very important.
Men are selected after careful prepare
ton for these two qualities. There
fore the crew that represents US at
New London is made up Of men who
qualify in both respects. It is q sur
vival Of the fittest."

could do better than break even last
week.
The Cleveland American worlds
champions regained the American
leadership from Washington yesterday
when the Senator'S lost TO Philadelphia.
The Indians are kept to the fore by
their heavy batting, which has aver
aged above ten hits a game since the
start of the season.
Brooklyn Pitchers in Form
In he National League the Brooklyn
pitching staff Is going along smoothly
and has been rewarded by timely bat
ting. The Superbas won twice last
week, although held to four hits In
each contest.
The twirlers of the New York, Chi
cago and Cir A.nnati teams, on the
whole, are doing well, but the teams
have been unable to convert hits into
runs. The return of outfelder Roush
should strengthen the Reds attack.
The setback Of the strong hitting
Yankees by the Washington pitchers
last week was surprise. The Sen
ators also showed punch by coming
from behind in many of their games.
Red Sox Are Improving
Boston pinyed .nly a few contests
last week and climbed into a tie for
third place with New York by taking
two games out Of three from the
Athletics.
Detroit, which won its third straight
game yesterday, is doing good work at
the bat. and with stronger pitching
staff would climb rapidly.
