ANCESTRAL HONOR. Sons, whose heroic fathers have early left you, uud in the conflict of- the war have mixed witb departed heroes, be con gratulated on the fair inheri tance of fame which you are en titled to possess. If it is at all lawful to array ourselves in bor rowed honor, surely it is best ' drawn from those who have act ed a distinguished part in tbe service of their country. It it-is at all consistent with the feelings of philosophy and renson to boast of Uneul glovy, surely it is most allowable in those who boast of it as flowing from such a source. We despise the unln structed mind of tbut man who shall obtrude upon our ears tbe ideas of a vulu ancestral honor, but we love the youth uud trans fer tb him the reputation of bis father, wbo, when tbe rich and haughty citizen shall frown upon him as Ignobly descended, shall say, "I bud a father who has fallen in tbe service of bis coun try." Hugh FI. Brackenridge in Fourth of July Oration at Phil adelphia, 1779. MY WEE, WEE WIFE. My wee wife dwells In yonder cot. My bonnle bnlrnies three. Oh, happy is the husband's lot Wf balrnles on bis knee! My wee, wee wife, my wee, wee wife. My bonnle balrnles three How bright is day, bow sweet Is life, When love lights up tbe e'el Tbe king o'er me may wear a crown, Have millions bow tbe knee. But lacks be love to share his throne, How poor a king is bel My wee, wee wife, my wee, wee wife, My bonnle balrnles three Let kings bu'e thrones, 'mnng the world's strife; Your hearts ure thrones to me. I've felt oppression's pilling chain. , I've shed the tear o' care. But feeling a,r lost u' Its pain When my wee wife was near. My wee. wee wife, my wee, wee wife. My bonnle bnlrnies three The chains we wear are sweet to hear, Dow sad could we be free. Alexander Hume. HAPPINESS. Men are merely taller chil dren. Honor, wealth nnd splen dor are the toys for which grown children pine, but which, however accumulated, leave them still disappointed and un happy. God never designed that Intelligent beings should be sat isfied with these enjoyments. By bis wisdoiu andk goodness they were formed to derive tbelr happiness from virtue. Moder ated desires constitute a charac ter fitted to acquire all the good which this world con yield. He who Is prepared, in whatever situation be is, therewith to be content, bus learned effectually tbe science of being happy nnd possesses tbe alcbymlc stone, ' which will cbnnge every metal into gold. Such a man will smile upon a stool, while Alexander at bis side sits weeping on the throne of the world.

A technical wrltteu protest against allowing Edward Ueeson a new world's record in the high jump has been tiled with President John Elliott of the l'a ciflc Athletic association by C. S. Mor rls of tbe Olympic club, a teammate ol Beeson. He says:' "I am protesting this record in the interests of good and truihful records and Justice to present and future con testants and aspirants for world's rec ords." Morris takes the stand that when Beeson cleared the bar at the TacUlc Athletic association conference meet at Berkeley at 1 feet 7 5-10 Inches his body touched tho crossbar, which should disqualify the record. He nr gues further that "In strict Intcrpretn tion the event was a closed one. since two men from the snme club (Beeson and George Horlne, former record hold er), were the only ones to compete, the event itself being special." ' Shamrock IV. "No Beauty." "A futurist design" is the English description of Shamrock IV., Sir Thom as Lipton's challenger for the Ameri ca's cup. Her greatest beam is forward of the mast, which gives her n very exaggerated "cod head." and the bluff ness detracts from her looks. Tbe square box stern is another violation of the modem canons of yacht design ing. The greatest overhang is for ward, and a midship section shows she is very square on the bilge and flat on the floor. . Tbe lead keel Is flat at tbe bottom. The challenger's greatest beam is twenty-four feet, and her drnft with out the centerboard fourteen feet, and with the centerboard down - twenty three feet. The mast Is 110 feet high, and the "Marconi topmast" gives an additional fifty feet. Reject Boxing Weights. That the establishment of nil Interna tional standard of boxing weights is ns fur from realization as ever was the report made to the New York boxing commission by "Snowy" Kaker, tbe Australian promoter. Baker, who re turned from Europe recently, stated that his efforts to have the English and French authorities accept the standard adopted by America and approved by Australia hail met with failure.

July 4. Grilllth. lightweight champion of Ohio, has fought most of the lending lightweights of the coun try. He and Kilbane will weigh In at K13 pounds ringside. Extravagance.
