Modern Football Mere Play to Yale’s Old Freshman-Sophomore Struggle. The organization and development of intercollegiate athletics now absorb miuch of the energy that used to be given to the furious internecine warfare of classes. From time immemorial there were mighty games of football on the New Haven green, in which whole classes engaged. The freshmen ed their formal challenge ‘on the bulleun of lyceum, and the supercilious accept- ance of the sophomores named the day for the struggle. ‘‘Come,’’ cried the class of ’60, And like sacrifices in their trim To the fire eyed maid of smoky war, All hot and bleeding will we offer you. And the Tyrtwus of ’58 cheered his mates with the noble lines: Let them come on, the baseborn crew! Each soil stained churl—alack! What gain they but a splitten skull, A sod for their base bach! On the bloody day appointed both sides massed in heavy column with Na- poleonic tactcis, while the New Haven fathers surrounded the field. When the round leather ball was kicked, 200 men clashed together in frantic, shoving, dusty, roaring chaos, the one side striv- ing to kick the ball to the Chapel street fence, the other to force it to the steps of the statehouse. Swift runners hung upon the outskirts to seize the ball chance directed to their feet, and hurry it amid ful] gazing applause to the goal. But it was in the middle press where deeds were uncrowned, where shirts be- came streamers and rib squeezed rib until they cracked, that the heroes of war aud the college bully were to be found. From this Titanic struggle the degenerates of today have evolved the emasculated game which they call foot- ball, a wretched sort of parlor pastime! —Judge Henry E. Howland in Scrib- ner’s. Turkish Traffic In Slaves. Slave dealing in Constantinople, as we know, always exists, aud the wife of «a pasha is not above the wretched business. Richard Davey, in his book, “‘The Sultan and His Subjects,’’ says: ‘‘A good deal of Turkish traffic in slaves is conducted in the following manner on very well conceived com- mercial principles: The wife of a pasha, asa matter of speculation, purchases two or three little girls for a trifle, either from a slave dealer or some poor woman, generally a Christian, possibly a Bulgarian refugee who is unable to bring up her own children. The lady educates each child, teaches it those ac- complishments which are indispensable to harem life, such as singing, dancing | and playing on musical instruments, washing, starching, ironing, embroid- ery and even a little cookery. To this may be added a smattering of some for- eign language and a very elementary knowledge of Turkish caligraphy. When the child is grown up, if she is hand- some the lady turns her to account and liberally repays herself for her trouble by selling her at a high figure to some pasha of her acquaintance through the medium of one of the well known old women whose business it 18 + 9 to carry out transactions of that soxt.

I—is it—is it anything alarming?’ **Oh, no, silly! Don’t you know what griggish means? I manufactured it ages ago out of grig, a grasshopper—some- thing blithe and sprightly, you kKitow. That reminds me, I had the most inter- esting dream the other night. I dreamed **You .we kept a word store.’’ ‘‘A word store?’’ “Yes, we coined words and sold them to the inventors of foods and of typewriters, and’’— ‘*How were they sold, by the yard or ky the dozen?’’ he interrupted. ‘*Neither way. Wesold each word ac- cording to the amount of brains expend- ed in inventing it, except the words pertaining to bicycles—they came high, because they were so fashionable. Oh, it was quite a large store, all divided up into departments. There was the bicycle department, the cigar depart- ment, the electrical department, the | patent medicine department—in fact, all lines were represented in which in- ventions might be made needing names, You see, we sold a name for so much, and then if the invention proved suc- cessful we shared in the profits. ’’ ““Well,’’ said the man, ‘‘I hope you showed more taste in the matter than the person who invented such words as ‘cupograph,’ ‘mimeograph, ’ ‘comptome- ter’ and ‘operaphone’—they give one literary indigestion.’’ ‘Oh, yes,’’ she replied, ‘‘our coinage was of a much higher order. Of course we had words ending in graph and phone and cycle, but they were exceed- ingly cheap, and inventors were rather ashamed to be seen buying them. Words like ‘pegamoid’ came high. I wish I could remember all the lovely names we coined,’’ she went on. ‘‘The only one I can think of is ‘hamwich,’ a sub- stitute for ham sandwich. Don’t you think that’s choice? I dreamed that we sold it to a restaurant man and he made a mint of money out of it.’’—Chicago Tribune. Victoria Cato Great George St. Scene of attraction during these hot days.
