President McCosh Remembered the
» French Class in His Prayer.
The following story of President Mo.-
Cosh of Princeton, 'is told by the New-
ark Call, and it is said'it is vouched for
by Princeton men: "The venerable
doctor was accustomed to lead the
morning exercises in the chapel every
day, and during the exercises he gave
out the notices to the students. The
closing exercise was a fervent prayer by
the doctor. One morning, after he had
read the notices as usual, a. student
came up with another notice [that Pro-
fessor Karge’s French class would be at
nine o’clock that day instead of half-
past nine, as usual. Dr. McCosh said
it was too late, but the student insisted
that Dr. Karge would be much disap~
pointed it the notice were not read.
The exercises went on, and the doctor
forgot all about the notice. He started
tomake the final prayer. He prayed
for the President of the United States,
the members of the Cabinet, the Sena-
tors and Representatives, the Governor
of New Jersey, the Mayor and other of-
ficials of Princeton, and then came to
the professors and instructors in the
college. In the meantime Professor
Karge’s notice came into his mind, and
‘ the assembled students were astonished
to hear the venerable President. 'And.
‘0 Lord, bless Professor Karge, whose
French class will be held this morning
at nine o'clock instead of at half-past
nine as:usual.’v”» . -- '

Golf is . apparently too much for the
intellect of the South African Kafi‘ir. A
tall warrior, we are told, saw several
’ unskillful players playing over an Afri-
can course, and he appeared to take the
deepest interest in .their efforts to get
the ball out of one of the many deep
bunkers that abound in the links of that
country. The next day he was seen
vigorously whacking a huge boulder
with a stick and shouting a varied as-
sortment of English oaths at the top of
his voice. Somebody asked him what
was the matter. “This white man’s
game,’f said the native. “Welly good
game, white man’s game.”

DON'T TALK TOO MUCH.
Calve, Bernhardt, Lilli’an Russell and
others Hurt by over Talking.
“Calve, the singer, sent for her doc-
tor the first winter she was in New
York. ‘I‘never felt so bad in my life,
and I think I am going to break down.‘
.said she. '
“Where do you ache?” asked he.
‘.‘I . ache all over,” said she. Every
spot on' me and inside me feels worse
than the other spot. and I think I am
going to die.’
“' 'Nonsense,’ said. he.
talked too much. You have been inter-
viewed and visited and feted and made
to sing encores. You have used your
throat and your nerves of speech until
they are limp. You take my advice and
you will get well.’
“Then this physician, who told -me
this case. told Mlle Calve to lie in bed
‘You have
with the shades drawn all day until the ,
time to go to the opera
" 'But how shall I see my friends?~
asked she.
“See them in bed,’ said he. ‘It will
keep you quiet. A woman lying in bed
is not supposed to talk much. They
will do the talking for you. You listen.
Take the old adage, “A still tongue
maketh a wise head,” and adapt'it'to
yourself. “A still tongue maketh a
well body,” will be true in your case.
“Calve did it and got well. You have
not read reports of her illness this win-
fer.
“Bernhardt has always sufiered from
amania of over conversation. She is
an animated rattle-box. At her home
in Paris‘she is said to be the life of ev-
ery salon, .. If she isn’t careful this
same life will be the death of her. She
chatters, chatters, chatters, and it is
nothing but her wonderful native health
that keeps her up to it. This much for
Bernhardt, though, she puts no thought
in her talk.
“Ellen Terry had a touch of talking
too much, and nearly camedown with
nervous prostration. She went to her
Tower‘ Cottage, Winchelsea, to lie in
bed all summer. Her doctor, one of
those faddlsh English physicians, who
make a‘specialty of royal ladies’ and
other ills, told her to swing a hammock
under the trees. ‘Put on a loose robe,‘
said he, ‘and get in that hammock and
swing daily one hour three times a day.
Don’t stop-swinging and don’t see any-
body.’ ,. .
" ‘Queer advice,’ said Terry to her
daughter but she followed it. After she
get well and was no longer the high-
strung, overworked woman of Spring,
her doctor told her that the hammock
was all a farce, simply a ruse to keep
her from talking three hours a day.
“Irving has never suffered from this
over- conversation fever. He has always
been a quiet man. In his home in Graf-
ton street, London, he retires each af-
ternoon to a room filled with busts of
Browning, Keats, Siddons, Forrest.
Tennyson and so on through the silent
gallery. Here, silent as they, he sits
and gazes upon them, none speaking a
word. That rests Irving and keeps the
nerves of his tongue free. The tongue
never runs away with him after that
quiet hour.
“Lillian Russell sufiers from talking
too much, and in a painful way.
fects her nervous system. Too much
talk plays upon her nerve centers, and
throws her out. In other words, it
makes her cross. That is the secret of
most cross women. They talk until
they are nervous, and nervousnesseaf-
fects the disposition. Stop them from
talking for a week and they are geod '
natured women. ' Try it with the next
cross woman you meet.’

“I was sleeping soundly in, a boxcar
out in Iowa one night last summer, and
the wind was blowing like thunder
across the plains! Suddenly that car
got loose—the brakes broke or suthin’—-
and it began to crawl along out of the
siding and onto the main track.‘ It was _
nuts for me. I thought the wind
wouldn’t blow me far, and so I kept on. ‘
I stood in the door and saw the houses
and fences go by faster and faster, till
all of a sudden I realized that I was go-
ing too fast to get Off, and no way of
stopping it. Half an hour after we—
the car and I—dashed throughva little
station, and I had just time to see the
telegraph operator run out and look
after us m l then run back to telegraph
down lll.‘ line to clear the track. We
were go. .3: mcre than a mile a minute,
and my hair was standing on: end. ‘
,Forty miles down the road we went
through another station, and on a sid-
ing I caught sight of an engine with
steam up, and a man with a rope. on the
cchatcher. That engine chased us
twenty miles down the track. The man
with the rope threw it around the brake
wheel on top of our car. and gradually
stopped it, while all the time the wind
was blowing a gale. . .

BLOOERMS ARE UNPOPULAR.
Few W’omen are Seen Now in Bifurcated
. Garments.
It is rather remarkable 'how the
bloomer craze has affected certain
cities, and disaffected others. It was
prophesied by most of the critics last
year that when this riding season open-
ed drop-framed wheels would be‘ no
longer popular among the ladies, but
nthat all of them clad in their bloomers
wopld scorch, astride the light-weight
diamond frame wheel, mounting and
dismounting much in the same manner
as their companions of the opposite sex.
The prediction has not become true,
and the bloomer girl is fast disappear-
ing, a fact which is proved by the in-
creased orders for the drop-framed
wheels. ,A year’s experience has con-
vinced the average American girl who
rides a wheel that the so-called rational
costume for'izicycle riding is not ration-
al. but 'is an ill-fitting garment which
affords less comfort than the short skirt

THE GOOD GOULD BOY..
The Quiet and Athletic Edwin an Excel-

The “good boy”of the Gould family
, , is Edwin Gould. He is not a public
CharaCter like George, or a rapid young
chap like Howard, but at the same time
he is farming- in a quiet way, as an
athlete, and has muscles of iron. He is
fond of'outd‘oor sports, but chief amdng
them the rifle. ' He is a sharpshooter
himself, and practices almost daily in
his private range at his beautiful home
on the borders between Tarrytown and
Irvington. 1 ' . -
\Vhen Troop A was, established Ed-
"win, who was a daring rider, enlisted as
private. There wasn’t a better soldier
in the ranks. But he had a weak leg,
caused by an accident when he was the
under dog in a cane rush at Columbia,
and one day he was thrown from his
horse and his kneecap broken the sec-
‘ond time. This ended his career in the
saddle, but he was madea captain and
inspector of ride practice in the Seven-‘
ty-first, and served out‘ his five years
enlistment with distinction, improving
the efficiency of the regiment in marks-
,manship very materially. He has since
fractured that unlucky kneecap three
times playing tennis, but he'will not be
frightened away from rough sports al-
together, and he bobsledded' it on the"
steepest hills last winter as daringly as
if he did not have a knee in the world.—
