The following are the instruction of the American Athletic Union and will eoyern all decision, of the referee at the Jlancockl.M.CA.Beldday next Sot- urday: Amateur athletic sport is to prove the superiority of an individual or individ uals in their respective classes of athlet ics in a friendly nainer and in so doiog if every competitor will enter into the same in a gentlemanly manner he will conform to all general rules of the A. A. W., which rules are only made to insure clean sports. Let an athlete be a gentle man in the true sense of the word and he need not bother himself in regard to rules as an athlete doing what he knows is rluht in the gymnasium, track or fivld and be a gentleman will have no trouble in conforming to the general rules of the A. A. W. Novice DeQoition Amateur sports are divided into twen t y-five classes and a man can be a cham pion and record breaker in any class and still be a novice in 'anv other class. An athlete shall be held to be a novice in each of these classes until he shall have won a prize in a competition of that clas oten to the members of two or more clubs or associations. In addition to the rules of the A. A. W- on hurdle racing the following will gov em the games next Saturday. If any hurdle is knocked over by the winner or the first at the tape does not jump over every hurdle the race will be lun over again. iiicvn.E u.ui.vo 1.

Riders shall pass on the outside un les the man passed be dismounted, atd must be at least a clear length ol the f y tie in front before taking the inside. In side man must allow room for his com petitor to pi.si on the outBide. A com petitor overtaking another may pass be tween him and the Dole if there be ample room, but does so at his own risk nnd should a foul be claimed, the referee must decide if the rider was justified in his course.

I felt that it was an honor to Dob bins' aunt aa well as to Dobbins, but I made un my mind to be affable and not to make them more uncomfortable than I could. No matter what your po ition in life, it is very wrong to put on airs, and I never do It. "Tell them not to put themselves out on my account, i stua to jjoodius, "but to treat me just as they do the oth tr boarders. ana iX)ooius siua ne would.

My landlady had a daughter, auito a charming creature, with eyes like bluebells and a voice like a canary. She used to sing a good deal with the music man. The moment that crirl looked at me she appreciated me. Before the dav was over she was aos- Tvratelv in love with me. and when a creature like that gives yon her heart, how can you look coldly on herr Far be it from me to win tho anec tions of an innocent girl, knowing as I do that I have a position in tho world and must marry with due consideration of the fact, but knowing what emotions I had awakened in her bosom I felt obliged to be kind to her. We walked together. We rode, we sung. I felt that ft was wronir. but my feelings carried mA nvrar. I often thoturht to myself.

Quite a romantic story mine, Don t you think so? Exchange, A Prison Designed by e Convict. Perhaps the most interesting fact about the building of Wormwood Scrubs prison is that the plans for its construc tion were drawn out by a convict in his cell while undergoing the probationary nine months to a long term of imprison ment Tho man was originally an architect, and among the foremost of his profes sion. He waq a gentleman by birth and education, but in early life began to abuse his natural gifts, and at the time was undergoing his second term of im nrisonment for forgery. The completion of the work occupied him for nearly six months ami was effected under great disadvantages. In place of a table, lor instance, he had to pin his pater to the wall of his cell, moving it round with the sun in order to obtain the best light Tho prison authorities consider this marvelous specimen of architectural drawing the finest piece of work ever done by an English convict. It measures in size 5 feet 6 inches, being drawn to the scale of a hundredth part of an inch. The convict displayed the greatest in terost and nrido in the erection and oom- rjletion of the prison, which was built entirely by convict labor. It contains 1.881 separate cells for prisoners, which cost on an average 70 7s. each, besides hospital wards and a chapeL The total number of bricks rmuircd was 35,000,000, each ono being made bv the convicts on the premises, or on some adjoining laud leased for tho pur- nose. The iron castings were obtained from Portland or Chatham prison, the granite from Dartmoor and the Portland stono from Portland. The total cost or the prison was more than '97,000. Loudon Letter. The Outeomlnf. TVe Philadelphia Record tells of a schfjlteacher who was instructing a class of boys in geography. Everything went well until, in order to inako the matter plainer, she took an ordinary aloha and. pointing to the portion con taining the United States, asked her class where she would come out if she should start from Philadelphia and go straight through the earth. fcho knew they would all say China, but she wanted to see which of her scholars would answer first. She waited fully a minute and no answer came. Away oacic in the room a crimy hand wai finally held nn. "Well. David." she asked, "where would I como out if I should go atraicht though the earth from here?" The silence was growing thicker every second. "Please, Miss Maude, you would come out of the hole," was tho reply, and the class in geography was dismissed for the day. .A Ring Island.
