Punctures Football. Grandpa

thus punotures football: "There is this,
too, to be oflered in favor of prize
flghtlnp, when contrasted wltbSfoot
ball. There Is great skill, if not sci
ence, in the art of boxing. There
is also some fair-play and decency. If
one fighter knocks another down, he
Is not allowed to lump on top of him,
and knook bis wind out and some
times his life. Iu football it is all, a
brutal struggle. Skill and science
play but a small part. In other words,
the greatest brutes win".

Hero are somo quotations of an enro
lutlral cluiracUT taken from Interviews
With Mrs. Drew in 18U5:
"How did jeu contrlvo to obtain an edu
tntlon, conHlclcrtngthat you acted so much
is a glrlr"
"Bless you, I never was educated that
la, I never oltfalned what Is usually eon-
uw-n-u a ayiteiuatio education, for iny
ichnol hns been human nature and my
books were the people I mot. I bellnva I
was sent to school for one quarter In Lon-
aun, ami i remember being sent to a aohool
In Baltimore for awhile. The rtt of iu
education I picked up myself by reading
and listening to tho conversation of clever
people."
hhe was speaking of Mac ready and Ed
win Booth.
"How did you like acting with these
trnffodinnar" she waa asked.
"Well, Manvady waa dtaaKreeablo and
difficult to Work with. Forrest was not a
particularly pleasant nian, but easy
enough to got along with. Junius Brutus
llooth didn't care who you were or any
thing about you, so that association with
him was not especially pleasant nor espe
cially unpleasant. Bis eccentricities at
times were very trying and sometimes very
laughable. Edwin Uooth waa dignified
anu ueiightrully courteous."
"Do you recall any of the eccentricities
of the elder Boothf"
"I shall never forpet one night when I
played Ophelia to his Hamlet. He had
finlfthed the scene In the fourth act and
the curtain was lowered. When the time
came to ring It up on the fifth act, which
llomlet was to open, the Prince of Den
mark was not forthcoming. Attendants
rushed hither and thither in search of
him, but ho waa not to be found. When
we had almost given up In despair, some
one discovered Hamlet perched away up
on top of one of the wings ot the scenery
among the rafters, crowing lustily. I
don't know, I am sure, whether he Imag
ined himself the crowing cock which crew
when It was time for tho ghost to depart
or whether it was simply a practical Joke.
At all events, we got Hamlet oil hla perch
and tho play went on. On another occa
sion the play was "Orinoco," and the eld
er Booth had to appear with darkened
skin. Just before the lost act he came be
fore us with hla bare feet and legs all
blackened and Insisted upon going on
that way. His mood did not strike me as
particularly encouraging, so I refused to
Lgo on, and tho act had to bo presented
without me.
She was asked, "What do you think of
modern playsf"
"I don't approve of up to dato plays of
an humoral nature. Hut I think that,
llko almost everything else, tho drama la
steadily advancing. It has undoubtedly a
great future In this country."
Her personality waa alwaya Interesting.
Frcdrica Barret thus described a visit to
hor rooms In Now York In November,
1895, Mrs. Brow being 75:
When I went to call on Mrs. John Draw,
I hod the Impression that I was to see an
old lndy, but this Idea wits quickly dis
pelled when I. met hor. In years Mrs.
Draw may havo outlived many of hor own
generation. She has contributed toward
a second generation In the raising and
training of her own ohlldron, and she la
now hopeful and watchful over tho careers
of a third generation her grandchildren.
Mrs. Drew has retained a great part of
her youthfulness in activity and general
appearance, and this Is due no doubt to a
large endowment of natural humor and to
a hopeful disposition which makes her
manner at once spontaneous and cheerful,
and duo In a great measure, too, let us
assume, to her intimate and loving asso
ciation with tho younger members of the
family of Drew.
Of her early days in America Mrs. Drew
loved to speak.
Louisville in 1820 sha remembered as
"an exquisite ploco, with elegant society,
noted for tho beauty of Its women.
"Conditions were crudo everywhere, a

big tho actions of certain travelers of this
year whom it has been her lot to see.

ASTHMA.
Th Principal t'aiuM of Iba UUIrarlluj
la lb HruacliUI Tube.
In a recent article concerning the treat
ment of asthma a prominent authority on
diseases of tbe chest enumerates as fillowa
the principal cause of the obstruction In
the bronchial tube to which the pnrux
ysmal difficulty In breathing Is duo:
Flrnt. A previous dlaenanl condition of
the lung, which renders them susceptible
to attack. Not Infrequently cases of
Mthma resist treatment simply from the
physician a failure to recngnlan Iheextht-
nee of an antecedent trouble. Weak lungs
are always open to the Influence of the
various excitants to asthmatlcol parox
ysms. Second. Direct Irritation of the lining
membrane of the bronchial tubes may
ratabllsh the dlwose by exciting the lungs
to successive paroxysms. Tba Inhalation
of varloua dusta and powders, llko thimt
arising from tluwers, marble and coal, and
Irritating fume of metal are often the
starting point or occasion of a severe at
tack of asthma, which, In fact, imunlly
lasts as long as there Is any additional
source of Irritation. Exerlno must
teach the sufferer what kinds of Irritants
aro especially to be avoided In hla Individ
nal case. Feather beds, anlnuUa, kcro
sene lamps and arsenical wall paper are
among tho mors common of direct lrri
tan to.
Third. In Indirect Irritation of the
lungs the source of the trouble may bu lo
cated at some distance from the lung-", as
Is tho case In digestive dcrangementa. At
tacks of asthma may be provoked by the
pressure of tumor or enlarged glumU tit
on the nerves which control the proce i.f
breathing. Since the extension of spivlal
surgery many case of asthma arising from
irritations and obstructions In the noe
have been discovered and cured. Knlai getl
tonsils may aim be a source of irritation.
Fourth. Not the leant frequent among
the agents concerned In the production of
paroxysms of. asthma are what aro called
toxlo causes that is to say, causes which
produce systemic poisoning. The unite,
common of thene are of gouty or nmlarlid
origin. 8igns of lead and arsenical poi
soning should bo searched for.
In looking for the caum of a given cata
of asthma we should take Into conaldera
tlon the fact that the disease may be duo
to one condition alone or to sevoral con
ditions combined.
Whatever means are taken for tho im
mediate relief of the paroxysm, It Is ob
vious that a cure of the disease Itself can
not be expected until the underlying trou
bio has been remedied. Youth's Compan
ion. IS A THRIVING INDUSTRY.
Msnafketar of Panama. Hats rarnUhet
Employment For Thoumada,
The manifucturo of the so called Pana
ma straw bats from straw motlo of palm
leaves is very Interesting, and, although
Central America Is furnishing a great
many of these expensive hats, the great
majority of them are mado elsewhere, prln
cllly at Malaga, Spain. Throughout
Andalusia a palm grows almost wild and
furnishes a great doul of wealth to this
country. Tho fruit and tho root serve for
nourishment; tho kernel of the fruit,
which Is extremely hard, furnishes but
tons, and tho leaf Is also very valuablo In
many respects. Roofs aro thatched with
theso loaves; tho fiber which la extracted
from them serves as a stuffing for furni
ture and mattresses; tho stems are peeled
and employed in basket making, and tho
fiber la also used ror brooms and ropes,
and finally for the imitation panama bats
mentioned above.
Tho last named Industry Is of much Im
portance, since not less than 0,000,000 hats
are exported from tho Malaga district,
most of tho number going to Now York
city, htlll, their manufacture Is entirely
carried on by hand For centuries past
those hats have been mado in tho some
way, tho qualities varying from tho ordi
nary bats worn by tho Spanish peasants
and costing but a few cents up to the fin
est qualities, which como high oven thoro.
More than 10,000 persons live exclusively
by braiding hats. They are mainly wom
en and children, tho men helping only
when they havo no other occupation. A
clover girl can mako from five to six urge
hats a day, and for tho braiding ol ordi
nary hats 2n to 80 cents Is tho wages usu
ally paid. The finely woven panama can
bo mado only by skilled hands, who at tho
best can turn out two per wock. They re-
col vo on an average 13 and 14 for each hat,
according to sUo. Baltimore Sun.

HONEY 0 THE MISSES.
The learned financier of tbe Ore
gonian would have the i eople be
lieve that because financial transac
tions oi great magnitude can be
carried out without actual transfer
f the money, that silver it not
needed as a medium of exchange in
the every day business transactions
of life. In other words that mil
lions of dollars of gild piled up in
the publiu treasury answer all
purposes. The Oregonian says:
"Those timorous individual! who
lost sleep in 1896 wondering where
the gold is to come from to pay tbe
debts of the country should study
the transactions in the Union Pa
cific sale described this morning.
This deal, involving 158,000,000,
is going to be carried through with
out creating a rtppl in the money
market, and almost without dis
turbing any of the stacks of eagles
in the vaults of New York and
Washington. If the tree coinage cf
