THE EXD OK KIGIITIXG.
tlNCE A MEMORABLE bout with
a California stripling called
James J. Corbett, John L. Sulll
Yan has led a tamo and, peaceable
rocifi:iee, Interesting himself in pu
gilists and their affairs, casually, as
any noncombatant should. The
""wanly game"does not attract him
any more,, ho says, because it is not
Bat It once was. Occasionally
John Indulges himself with retros
3antfair, and finds cause to lament
iiic times that have been, and which
are no more. Pugilism is moribund,
lo nays, and to win a championship
licit nowadays Is not vastly better
than winning the prize for perfect
attendance at Sabbath school.
Ilr. Sullivan belongs to tho old
school of fighters of which tho in
trepid. Jake Kihaln was a notable
member. They didn't use gloves
lieu Mr. Sullivan was In h-3 prime,
and when they fought they '.night In
:Uw open air, not for points or de
cisions, but to the ensanguined fin
ish. They knew not a gieat deal
about tho science of boxing, but
.unnd up and smote each other, as
jrr. Sullivan says men should; and
"3c who was able to stand up longest
wan tho victor. The valiant John
"has fought several battle which ap
imcmchod 100 rounds In duration and
which, according to tho dean of tho
3ngilists, possessed a gory glory thnt
will come no more. Speaking of sev
eral recent lights, Mr. Sullivan de
clares them to be denatured com
aats. unexciting, and tho sport of
xcafcllnga.
3Ir. Sullivan Is ono of tho few
men In the world who regret the day
f tho baro-knucklo mills. It is true
ahai fighting has been deprived of
Sis most strenuous features, and that
trickery and deceit have entered tho
game nnd disgusted oven a certain
percentage of tho sporting frater
nity. "Besides being tho pastime of
shildron," says Mr. Sullivan, "flght
InR Is no longer 'square,' " Mr. Sul
livan Is right: It Is not often
"'square" Prize fighting is doomed
not because It is a degenorato
aport, as Mr. Sullivan asserts, but

CRUISE OF THE WATER WAGOX.
Oh a capital ship for a holiday trip
Was tho wonderful old Water
Wagon;
It came early and late, and, If truth
wo must state,
Thero were some who just man
aged to tag on,
For sho gathered them In tho stout
and the thin,
Taking all who'd swear off from
the flagon;
'Twas a glorious sight all tho faces
contrite
Looking down from tho good
Water Wagon.
But, sorry to tell, there were several
who fell
(And somo of them hadn't a rag
on)
When they took a cigar upon reach
ing the bar,
And forsook the good ship Water
Wagon.
And some, all too frail, they would
lean on tho rail,
But it happened the ship ran a
snag on,
So that t these were deplored when
they fell overboard
And were lost from the old Water
Wagon.
Still the number grew less, till we're
bound to confess ,
Very soon thero were few left to
brag on;
And altho It seems queer, ono day
It was clear
There was nobody left on tho
AVagon.
Then tho captain he spoko (he was
great on the Joke)
"Now why shouldn't I get a jag
on?"
There's no use to pretend this re
mark was the end
Of tho cruise of tho good Water
Wagon.
So you always will hear about this
time of year
Of n ship with a snowy-white flag
on;
But feel no concern all your
friends will return
Very soon from tho good Water
Wagon.

"Young man," said her father, "I
don't want jou to bo too nttentlve to

"Why or really," stammered tho

marry her, but If you're too nttentlvo
to her you won't linvo money enough
to do it." Liverpool Mercury.

Tho Poor Milkman Again.
The mllkninn was boiling over with
Indignation.
"And you mean to say my milk don't

"Ah, yes," laughed the keen house

At another tlme, while one of his

with great feeling by his musicians, n
peculiar noise, hardly perceptible by
untrained ears, annoyed the leader for
some little time. At first he thought
it resembled the flutter of wings, but

"It Is nn Invariable fact." said the
professor nt the club, "that the sense

Perhaps home of jour readers would

found a simple. Inexpensive way to
waterproof matches. Into some melted
pnrullln, care being taken th.it It was
ns cool ns possible, I dipped a few or
dinary parlor matches. After with
drawing them mid allowing them to
cool It was found that they scratched
almost as easily ns before being coated
with the wax. Several were held un
der water for M or seven hours, and
all of them lighted as easily ns be
fore ImniL'ision. When the match is
scratched tho paraflin Is tlrst tubbed off
nnd the match lights In the usual way.
Mntchcs treated as above would be
very useful on camping or canoeing
dips, ns they do not nboib moisture
Since more rubbing is required to light
them than the oidinnry match. It
