GAME OF SWEEP AND SHELL, r
Rowing Is the Oldest of All Our Inter- 1
collegiate Sports.
Intercollegiate rowing antedates
all sports in which our American
universities engage. Students of
Yale and Harvard lirst met in competition
on Center harbor. Lake
Winnepesaukee, on Aug. 3, 185*2. In
the sixties and seventies aquatics
reigned without a rival. In neither |
popularity nor scope was baseball, ;
football or any other sport to be j
compared with it.
flowing is still the most impor- ;
tant major sport in seats of learn
ing where adequate facilities exist, '
important not alone in its tradition
and present prestige, but in the
part it is playing in the general
campaign of eliminating from the
undergraduate body the fashion of
taking athletics by proxy.
Originally a sport in which the
few came to row and the many to
cheer, rowing today calls to the inept
and to the mediocre as well as
to the man qualified to sit in a university
shell. As a muscle builder
no sport eqt > the game of sweep
and shell, ai.d it holds poetry and
pleasure as wen .:s physical benefit
for its devotees.
At Harvard, Cornell, Yale, Princeton,
Pennsylvania, Syracuse, Annapolis,
Columbia, Wisconsin, Iceland
Stanford, California and Washington
definite advances in aquatics |
have been marked qach year, and at
all the interests of the nnnvarsity
oarsmen have been observed in varying
degree as the support of gcner
ous alumni has permitted.
Following the lead of such schools
as St. Paul's, (.1 rot on, Exeter and
Middlesex, preparatory institutions
throughout the country have done
much to interest tiieir students in
rowing for its own sake, with the
result that each year seats of higher
learning receive large groups of
boys who care for the sport not so
much for the opportunities it may
offer them to beat some one else as
for the physical improvement and
mental pleasure they derive therefrom.

Hopi Courtship.
When a Hopi maiden decides
which of the eligible young men of
the tribe she wishes to marry she
goes and sits in his house and
grinds corn until he is sufficiently
impressed by her industry to marry
her. After the ceremony, which Is
an elaborate one, the couple go to I
live in the wife's house. If she (.
tires of her husband she can obtain .
a divorce by merely throwing his
saddle out of the house. After marriage
the house, fields and all their
property except the herds belong to /
the wife.
The Hopis are indulgent parents.
The right of the children to do as
they please is never questioned.
Retort Royal.
King Edward VII. was never at a
loss for a quick, suitable answer.
One day he was coming around a
street corner on one of his periodical
walks in London when he collided
with a very stout person, who,
being nearsighted, did not recognize
the king, took him by the lapel of
his coat and gave him a tongue
lashing.
"Do you know, sir," finished the
irate man, "that I am a member of
the London council ?"
"In that case I beg your pardon,"
replied the king, "for I am only the
king of Great Britain."
The World'* Southernmost City.
The capital of the territory of
Magellan, belonging to Chile, is
Punta Arenas, the southernmost
city in the world, with a population
of about 12,000, good wharfs and
stores, paved streets and extensive
traffic. All vessels ?roine through
C W w
the strait stop at Punta Arenas,
and much wool is shipped from
there. It is n free port, has a wireless
telegraph station, is a station
for the Chilean navy and does a
large business in the coaling of
steamers. It is, in fact, a crossroad
station between the east and the
west.
Her Poor Memory.
To Mrs. Hopkinson, a very quarrelsome
old lady, her pastor said:
"You must never cherisji an enmity,
madam, against your neighbor.
If your neighbor injures you,
forget it."
"So I do forget it, doctor," said
Mrs. Hopkinson piously, "but the
trouble is, I've got a powerful bad
memory, and I keep forgetting I've
forgotten."?Exchange.
A Bull For a God.
The ancient Egyptians believed
that the spirit of their greatest god,
Osiris, dwelt among them in the '
form of a pure white bull marked j
by a certain sign. Herodotus men-1
tions two of these signs?a black j
eagle on the back and a black fore-1
head with a square of white in its
center. These creatures when found j \
were worshiped during life and j
mummified after death.

'husband rescued
despairing wife
After Four Years of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave
Up in Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.
Catron, Ky.?In an interesting letter
i from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: "I suffered for four
! years, with womanly troubles, and during
this ume, i couia oniy sit up lor a mue
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, 1 would have severe pains
In my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treatment
relieved me for a while, but I was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good.
I had gotten so weak I could not stand,
and*! gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
Cardui, the woman's tonic, and 1 commenced
taking it From the very first
dose, 1 could tell it was helping me. I
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing my work."
If you are all run down from womanly
troubles, don't give up in despair. Try
Cardui, the woman's tonic. It has helped
more than a million women, in its 50
years of wonderful success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
it will do. Ask him. He will recommend
it. Begin taking Cardui today.

Blacksmiths as Dentists.
Before dentistry had made much
progress the blacksmith combined
his labors at the forge with opera
iions with the forceps.
His "patients" would go to the
forge and submit to a rough and
ready operation with the most suitable
blacksmith's tools available.
"'Years ago the blacksmith's forge
was the recognized dentistry, and
even now one often meets aged folk
in out of the way places who can recall
having teeth extracted in the
village smithy," says an English
writer.
An Odd Blunder.
When the British admiralty built
the splendid naval barracks at Chatham
it fitted up one of the largest
rooms in fine style for court martials
and had "Court Martial" ini
scribed on n big brass plate on the
I door. When it was about to be
used for the first time the discovery
was made that the regulations require
all naval court martials to be
held en the water.
