"t Merry Game of Football from Ancient Time Till Now" la the title of an illustrated article in St. Nicholas from the pen of N. O. Messenger. The Greek Invented the sport, and through the Iiouiaus It reached the Britons, in the time of Queen Kliiabeth' football was lu high favor. It was played la the city streets, on the commons, and in country luues. There was not much rule or order to the game, the object being merely to put the ball Into the enemy's goal, by fair ueaus or by foul. The goals might be a mile apart, with ditches and hedges aud highroads be tween. The players struggled In ear nest, and brokeu bones were uo rarity in the rush that followed. This wus probably the roughest and most brutal period iu football's history. The accounts of the times speak fre quently of accidents, aud too often gold and the plates and dishes used at the royal table are of solid gold, incrusted with fireoions stones.

There was one grand scramble to reach It as it was punted down the streets. Over housetops, aud across commons. The merchants barred shop windows and doors as the merr crowds surged through the streets, for scant heed was given to any obstacle that stood in the way of the pursuit of the ball. Some times two or more crowds. In chase of the flying pigskin, fell foul of one an. other's coarse, and then there was a to-do, aud the strongest held the right of way, perhaps carrying off both balls, and causing the other crowd to join in their pursuit. With the year 1800 the game began to be adopted by English schools and universities as the leading sport. In 1S03 an association was formed, and It was made a scientific sport. At this time the game was played differently by dif ferent universities. Rugby permitted carrying the ball, holding runners, charging aud tackling, while Harrow and Winchester only allowed kicking. In 1871 the Rugby Union was formed, and, rules laid down. Prior to 187S American universities bad paid little attention to football. It was Harvard that brought the game to the United States, and In order to have a foeman worthy of Its steel taught It to Tale. "Old Eli" took gracefully to the drub bing that was Involved In learning the first lesson, which was learned so well that for many years thereafter Har vard had no more victories. The Rugby game has been developed In America mainly along the lines of Interference and tackling. The Yankees were quick to perceive advantages which could be gained In this direction and put them into play. In 1880 Prince ton introduced the- "wedge," using it against Harvard, who In turn took It up against rale next year. Then Harvard went one better and brought out the flying wedge," which, with the "V." the "push," and the plow," are perma nent features of football work. In the perfection of football playing into a scientific sport from the old rough-and-tumble games of the past an Involved system of signals has come Into use. The signals are made by call ing out numbers. 4 There seems to be no lessening of Interest In the sport. There may be as many as twenty thousand spectators. and the great game of football, which began with the Greeks, was carried on by the Romans, developed by the Brit ish, and perfected by the Americans, seems to be indeed the king of autumn 8 port 4. can, who met him one night at a club, told ua of a conversation which he had beard on that occasion.

"No, I reckon not," responded the Texan; "It takes a special tralnln' that you folks won't ketch up to fer a good many years yrt, i reckon." "I should hope not," laughed tha Eng lishman. , " 'Taln't your fault, ' though." con soled the Texan; "you can't expect to have all the best things over here, you know." . ., ., ...... "It's a good thing. I know." admit ted the Englishman, "but yet I think the system Is most defective. Judge Lyuch is not always In the right" "I don't know about that," said the Texan, shaking his head, doubtfully. "Now," said the Englishman, conclu sively, "are you prepared to say that justice Is always: promptly administer ed In tills manner?" The Texan hesitated a moment and showed unmistakable signs of falling to uphold his cause. "I reckon you're right. Colonel," he said. "Sometimes the rope breaks or gun misses fire the first time, but you oughtn't to hold that ag'n us, fer we never let the cuss git away." Syracuse Standard. .

No century has ever begun on a Wednesday, a Friday or a Sunday, and the same order of days is repeat ed each 20 years. January and Octo ber. .of each year always begin with the same day; so with April and July; so with September and Decem ber; so with February, March and November. Entomological Occurrence of Ordinary Inter. An event of more than ordinary In terest transpired In my office yesterday noon. The large female tarantula shed her skin for the second time since she has been In captivity. Those familiar with Insects, spiders and related crea tures are aware that they are Incased by a hard, unyielding Integument. In crease of size Is permissible only when the skin is shed, and one that has been newly formed beneath expands to the requisite degree. This Is a process con stantly occurring In nature, and ever excites Interest in the beholder. When a large spider, three Inches long, throws off the old integument It Is a thrilling sight In the present case the taran tula had evidently been feeling unwell for some days a condition frequently preceding this process among Insects, and yesterday morning she was found lying upon her back and apparently dead, but moved a little upon being dis turbed. She lay thus until about 12:15 o'clock, when the rustling of her move ments made excited attention. The old skin was ruptured about the thorax In such a manner that the top could be removed entire, and through this open ing the giant spider was literally work ing out of her old skin. This was ac complished by the aid of the eight legs and the two leg-like palpi. At the end of an hour the change had been effect ed. The spider lay upon her back, be side the perfect skin, resting from the severe exertion. This tarantula was unusually large before she moulted, and Is now of still greater size. She came North In a bunch of bananas about two and one-half years ago, and until last January was the pet of Dr. J. M. BIgelow. While under his care one skin was shed, and Is now In my possession. An Idea of the Increase In size attendant upon moulting may be gained by comparing the dimensions of the dorsal piece of the skin shed ubout the latter part of 1816. when under the care of Dr. BIgelow, and the one- shed yesterday. The first measured one Inch and the second measures one and one fourth Inches. Therefore the present dorsal piece will probably be- propor tionately larger when fully expauded.

Bad Engheb. - Men and women of all classes break the rules of grammar nowadays, pre ferring picturesque to correct speech, but the offense Is most often committed by the poor. Yet bad English Is not s necessity of poverty, for there Is not s man or woman or child In this broad land of free schools who Is compelled to say "I knowed" or "I seen" or "I have saw," or any one or all of dozens of the most glaring and Inexcusable outrages of syntax. There Is no more necessity for the poor person to speak Incorrectly than there Is for the most favored of our people. Schools and newspapers and books are within the reach of all at absolutely no cost save time and a little and application. It Is not asked or expected that any person use, perfectly pure speech, for a certain lat itude of language is permissible; but there is ro possible excuse for such er rors of speech as prevail among the so- called lower classes, which includes thousands of people who have plenty of time to talk. and read. The root of the matter lies In the carelessness and In difference of parents and teachers who neglect the children In their charge at a time when they are learning the lan guage, not out of grammars, but out of the mouths of their elders, and of each other. It Is as easy to say "I knew" or "I saw? or "those things," as It Is to say I knowed" or "I seen" or "them things," and why let the children use that which Is more difficult and harsher than that which Is easier and softer?
