during which numbers OF the men amused them

finished by four O'Clock, and the regiment returned
home on the 4:42 p. NJ train.


AS everybody expected, the conduct OF offlcers
and men was unexceptionable. 1t was remarked
however. that the corps seemed to look upon the
affair as an exceedingly good days amusement
rather than as an important military duty. AS no

That was a cruel jest of Darrell's. Ia
his letter to Kellogg, under date of Jauu-

The italics are ours, but even unitalicized

done, the reflection that IA solemn pro
test of merchants in his behalf was about
as attainable as solemn protest of arch

TIE ABUSE OF APPETITE The appe-
tite is one of the least appreciated of ma,
ture's to man. 1t is generally regarded
in this work a.day world as something
to be either starved or statfed,-to be
gotten rid Of ut all events with the least
Inconvenience possible. There are peo-
pie who are not only glad that they have
been endo with sound, healthy bod
les, for which nature demands refresh
raent and replenishment, but they are
actually ashamed 20 have ii known that
they are sustained in the usual manner.
The reason Of this we are at a loss to
conceive. Everybody admires beauty,
and there can be no true beauty without
good health, and no good health without
regular and unvarying appetite We
are disincined to let appetite take any re I
sponsiblity On itself If we happen to
consider ii too delicate, we try to coax
it, perhaps stimulate it with highly sea
soned or fancifully prepared food There
are times when this may seem necessary,
as in the case Of person 50 debilitated
- to depend for daily strength on what
he eats. But, usually, the cajoling pro


cess is mistake. 1t the appetite of an
individual in fair bodily condition he oc-
casionally slender, it is no cause for
alarm, aud it should be allowed to rcgu
late itself. 1t may safely be considered
natures protest against some transgres-
sion, and it is wise not to attempt coer
cion. AT certain seasons, as in spring
and summer, the appetite of even the ro


bust is apt to fail, aud the relish for
meats and heavy food to wane. This Is
all right enough, for animal diet in warm
weather heats the blood, tends to head
aches, and is generally unwholesome, un-
less sparingly used. On the other hand,
fresh vegetables, berries, fruit and bread

Who is it that truly cducates the
child in humanity? Who possesses this
deyine ministry? The mother. She is
the prophecies who foresees the future
life, the sibyl who sounds the mysteries
Of the spirit, the Muse who brings TO the
heart human inspirations, the sorccrcss
who fills with sweet and pious legends
all our tancy, the pricstess who raises the
conscience to the regions of infinity.
From the moment when she feels her
child beneath her heart it appears as if
spirit and nature revealed themselves to
her mind to assist her in her divine
office, and thus She appropriates all IDEAS
to the child, as the bird weayes all the
rustic objects gathered in the fields to
form the soft nest other beloved offspring.
The mother knows instnctiyely the laws
Of health by which to preserve her child
from the inclcmencies Of the world. the
medicine with which to treat its constant
infrmities the morality which is to sustain
it in Its future struggles, the elitcraturowhich
sto emballish its days. the religion which
is to convert it into being superior to all
others Of nature, and which is to bear it
to the bosom Of the Infinite. All the
child needs in its early years the mother
bears in her intelligence, as she bears in
her breast its only nourishment Let us
make Of the school a mother This is
the thought Of Pestalozzi.

not care for this. II they did not, 1t was a
mistake. The thirty thousand people VINO
wanted To see the race on Saratoga Lake
would have been able and inclined to give
q considerable impulse to the interest IN athletic
sports in this country, which we take to be the
chief object of this Intercollegiate Regatta


But it must be confessed that the bad be-
havior of the weather on Thursday and yes
terday suggests far more serious Objection
to the selection of Saratoga than any that
tmd critics saw last year in the fiutter OF
silken drapery or the rattle of the roulette.
1t is no laughing matter to postpone race
for f0rty-eight hours when many thousands OF
people are waiting to SEQ 1T, half OF whom
have no beds to sleep in and no clean linen
wherewthal they shall be clothed If 1t shall
appear that the wide expanse OF Saratoga
Lake is more liable TO severe disturbance from
the action of the wind than the surface OF the
sheltered rivers of New England, 1t Is prob
able that the first general regatta on thiS
capricious sheet of water will be Also
the last. These two successive failures are
an event hitherto unknown in boating annals.
Of the tired, hungry, and rumpled thousands
who waited so patiently for two days to see





there will be a considerable number short
sighted and unreasonable enough to protest
against the management of the Regatta rather
than the elements, as the cause OF their dlsap-
pointment. 1t remains to be seen whether
their complaints will serve to advertise or dis
credit the collegiate games.


1t is as yet difficult to apportion the blame
according to strict justice. There Is unfor-
tunatey no question as TO the harm done
The prospects OF boating in America are
necessarily damaged by the occurrences OF the
last forty eight hours, whether the crews are
blameless or not. This Is point, we repeat,
not clearly decided We should wish to see
some better reason than has yet been pre-
sented why yesterday morning, which was
fine, should have been passed over to wait for
the afternoon, which was foul 1t may be said
that the habit and training Of the crews were
directed toward an afternoon race; but when
the race had failed once on account OF the
weather, 1t would have seemed natural that
the earliest available hour should have been
selected. This would have been equally fair
for ALL even if the average time should
have been little more than usual. There
has for long time been tendency IN
college crews to fix too late an hour for their
races, and then to start long after the hour
fixed. The result of this last year was to
bring the boats to the finish in the darkness.
and thus to raise a disagreeable question about
the result. If race is fixed for the late after
noon and any delay occurs, a day is lost If
the time designated were IN the morning, the
day would be all in the hands of the manage
ment to retrieve all errors and accidents. A
little common sense might be as valuable III
regatta as anywhere else.

To the country at large the most decided


interest felt in the Missouri campaign will


be aroused by the question whether 1t is to
result in the National calamity of remanding
Senator Schurz to private life. The very clear

printed on the third page of thisl morning.

sourans themselves the Senatorial aspect of
the campaign has as yet attracted little notice.

party domination on both sides, and in an
other an effort to meet the popular demand for
reform, seems to be working into a position
that may command success. In Wisconsin, as

turn largely upon Mr.. Carpenter and his
party associates very much wish they didn't

HINTS ABOUT BEAUTY.-There is nothing
more unfavorable to female beauty than late
hours Women who. either from necessity or
choice. spend most of the day in bed, and the
night at work or dissipation. have always
pale. faded complexion and dark trimmed. wear
led eyes. Too much sleep is almost as hurtfnl
as too little. and 10 sure to bloat the person
with pallid and unwholeome fat Diet also
has marked influence upon personal beauty.
Generous living is favorable to good looks. AZ
it tends to fill out and give color and sickness
to the skin. A gross and excessive indulgence;
however. in eating and drinking. is fatal to the
female charms, especially where there is great
tendency to making flesh.'' Regularity Of
time in the daily repast and q scientific cook
ing are the best means of securing not only
good health but good looks. The appetite
should never be wasted during the intervals be
tween meals on pastry, confectionery or any

the taste, but does not support the system. Ex.
ercise is, of course, essential to female beauty.
It animates the whole physical life, quickens

each limb and the entire body. It also gives
elasticity and grace to every movement.
