that is about the baby.
The dressing basket was a gift, from a
well-known society woman who Is one of
Mrs Cleveland's most intimate friends. It
is of white rattan in the form of a large
sqnare hamper. The lid is tied on the back
nd ornamented at the front with large
hite ribbon bows. All about it is a deep
frail of real Valenciennes lace. The inside
is lined with fine linen cambric and a tiny
edge of Valenciennes finishes the lining
about the edge. Inside the white nest is
the most remarkable set of baby's toilet ar
ticles that has ever been made in New
York. All the pieces are repousse silver of
the most exquisite workmanship.
Judge Erskine rent the baby's porringer
set, also made by Tiffany in a special de

gift is unique and magnificent. First there
is a big silver casket, beaten and engraved
in an elaborate pattern. Inside the casket
isa set of tiny furniture, which Miss Ruth
will care more about a few vears from now.
It is made entire or rare gold coins joined
in a pattern with exquisitely fine filagre
nork. The pieces stand about three inches
high. The top of the tinv table is composed
of five coins and the back and 6eat of the
sofa and chairs of a like number f smaller
size. The legs and the ornamentation are
of light filagre This set of furniture was
made specially for presentation to the
Cleveland baby. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
Jefferson have aked to give the cradle, but
it hasn't been received yet.

Another interesting thing about the baby
is how she takes her bath. It might be ex
pected after all this silver service that
somebody had sent in a silver bathtub. But
nobodv ha, or if so, Mrs. Cleveland is too
sensible to have it .ued. The bathtub is of
rubber, and is propped up on cross-sticks at
each end, looking like a compromise be
tween a small hammock and a camp stool.
Every morning the baby is undressed, and
laid in a iittle eider down blanket. The
rubber balh is filled with roilk-uarm water
and the baby is slipped in, blanket and all.
After she has been sponged sheWstaken out,
laid on a dry eider down blanket and then
dried with a piece of fine old linen.
There i no limit to these eider down
blankets because, beside the sufficient num.

WHAT GIELS WILL BEAD.
It
Is a Sorrowrnl Fact That They Torn
Away From the Old Standards.
"Keep the modern magazine and novel
out of your girl's way," says Mr. Buskin,
and then "turn her loose into the old
libraiy, and let her alone. She will find
what is good for her, and you cannot."
Admirable advice, comments Agnes Repp
lier, were it only possible to follow it; but
unhappily the modern novel is the only
one which the mopern girl will read. The
fiction fo- hor is the fiction of yesterday,
wet with the last and lightest spray of the
fountain of folly." She holds old-fashioned
literature in as little esteem as old
fashioned frocks; and, having absolutely no
standard of correctness, she is never for a
moment doubtful as to the propriety of her
convictions.
"I don't see anything so clever in 'Cran
zord,"" she says, with a tranquil assureuce
that Jezzrey himself might have envied.
"I never could get through 'The Mill on
Floss,' " she complains, subtly reproaching
that flawless book for its lack of incident
and interest. But she can see the clever
ness of "Airy Fairy Lilian" without' any
trouble, and she finds the incidents in
"Called Back," and "The House on the
Marsh," all that ber heart can desire.

tWBITTIN TOB ina PISPATCH.l
A most interesting article might be
written on the history and development of
the game of football, but it will be of more
practical value, both to those who witnew
contests and to those who are learning to
play, to confine this paper to the points of
play. Let us imagine that the field is
properly laid out according to the rules of
the game, that we have a rectangular piece
of level land 330 feet long by 160 feet wide,
inclosed by heavy lime lines; that at dis
tances of five vnrds lengthwise of this GMd
are other well-defined parallel lines, the
fifth from either end being indicated by a
special mark as the "twenty-five"-yard
line, and the middle point of the eleventh
line as the "center" of the field; that mid
way on the boundary lines of the short side
of the field goal posts are erected, with
standards 20 feet high and 18 feet 6 inches
from each other, connected 10 feet from the
ground by a crowbar.
We are now ready to consider the play
ers themselves. Twenty-two men are neces
sary to play the game properly. 11 on a
side. Seven of these called the"rnshers" or
"forwards" stand opposing a corresponding
seven of the opposite eleven whenever the
ball is down "for a scrimmage." The other
four occupy positions varying according to
whether they or their opponents have the
ball and are called the "backs."
Points or Ihe Bosh Line.
An eleven could very probablv be divided
into four distinct parts, each pa t composed
of players who have similar duties. The
rush liu, like an army, is made up of a
center and two wings." The center is com-
fosed of the center rusher, the right and
eft guard and the quarter back. E.tch
wing Is made np of a tickle and an end
rusher. The two half bucks and the full
back, who formerly was the goaI-tceeper,hut
is now practically a third hair bacK, mace
another division.
The center, like the center of an armv.
also is the strength of the eleven, the back
bone of the team. If weak here an eleven
cannot be strong either offensively, when
they have the ball, or defensively, when it
is in possession of their opponents. For
this reason hardy, powerful men are al
ways selected to fill the position of the
center rusher and right and left guard.
It is from the center that every scrimmage
starts, the center rusher putting the ball
in play bv rolling it back on the ground
between the legs to the quarter back, who
can not run forward with it, and is there
fore forced to pass it o.i to a third man.
This necesitates some very quick, accurate
work on the part of the quarter back, and
unless the center blocks well the opposing
rusher will be through and spoil the piny.
Osuallv when the center is weak the quar
ter back gets flurried ro that he fails to
pass the ball accurately, and the halfbacks,
if they receive it, are likely to be downed
in their tracks.
Qna'ltle of the Centor Ttnsher.
In picking a center rusher the one phys
ical property sought for besides weight and
strength. i the ability to stand firmly on
his fret and so be able to snap the ball back
accurately and at a unilorm rate of speed
A little unsteadiness under the annoyance
or a tricky opponent uill cause the quarter
back a deal of trouble in handling the ball,
and be very HkHy to result in some very
bud fumbling. There are two methods of
standing in snapping the ball, one intro
duced by Princeton a few years aso, where
one foot is placed behind for a brace and
the ball is snapped back a little to one side;
the other, used almost entirely by Yale,
where both feet are widely spread for inter
ference with opponents breaking through,
and at the same time to avoid getting in the
way of the ball, which can be snapped
straight back.
The main work of the guards may be
summed up as blocking, that is in "guard
ing," as their name indicates, the quarter
back until he has passed the ball; making
openiugs for the passage of a rnnner when
ever certain signals are given; breaking
through the line to interfere with the quarter-back
in passing the ball, or to tackle the
runner or to stop a kick. The guards, with
the centei rusher, have the most laborious
positions on the eleven if they fulfill their
duties. ,
Further, they have little time to catch
their wind when a play is being made
around the end for almost the firit point
which is pounded into their brains by the
daily criticism of the captain or coach is
always to be on hand the second the ball
is down to make or prevent a quick play.
Work of the Quarter Rick.
I place Ihe quarter-back in the division
with the center, because be is so intimately
connected witb center work, although in
name and position he is counted with the
backs. It is his duty to handle every ball
which the center rusher rolls back, and he
is expected to receive it under all condi
tions, coming fast or slow, with a bound or
not, straight or crooked, for the ball is In
piny as soon the center passes it, and he
must deliver it to a third person before a
gain can be attempted. A fumble or a wild
pass is a bad set back and may mean a
touch-down and ictory, as it did in the run
which Dean, of Harvard, made in the Yale
Harvard game last year, when he broke
through the Yale rush line at a most oppor
tune time, and seizing the ball, which had
been snapped back crookedly and fumbled,
made his 40-vard dash and placed the ball
down behind the Yale goal.
In assuming the position for receiving the
ball the quarter-back should stand as far
away from the center rusher as he can and
be able to give him the signal conveniently
for snapping the balk If be is careless on
this point he will every now and then re
ceive a reminder from some long-armed
center rusher or guard, who will reach over
and grab him before he1 has passed the ball.
I remember seeing Victor Harding, of the
Harvard eleven, spring headlong over the
Yale center rusher and perform this very
feat at an exciting point in the Yale-Harvard
game ol 1887. The sig.ial for the ball
to be snapped is usually given by pressing
the thumb on the inside of the calf of the
leg. It used to be given much higher up,
but a change of place wai found necessary
on account of the trickery of opponents,
who sometimes would reach over and give
the signal before the quarter-back was in
readiness. This alwavs resulted in either a
less of ground or the balL
Manner of Passing the Ball.
There are three styles of passing a ball
used by quarter-backs. Hodge, the well
known Princeton quarter-back; was accus
tomed to use both hands in passing the balL
This insured accuracy, but placed limita
tions upon the dist nee it could be thrown.
Bcecher, Yale'j famous quarter-back, used
only one hand. In doing this he swung his
arm sidewise and forward, just below the
level of the shoulder, and was able to pass
a long distance w ith great accuracy. In his
day long passes, which are now rarely even
attempted ou account of the superior work
of the end rushers, were frequently made to
the end rusher on the side of the held.
We turn now to the two wings, which are
each made up of a tackle and an end rusher.
We will consider the position of tackle
first. Perhaps we can get a better idea oi
the style of men best suited for this position
by describing star players. Of these, Gill,
ot Yale, and Cowan, of Princeton, stand as
ideal men, built about 5 feet 9 inches in
height, weight from 170 to 175 pounds,
deep, round bodies, arms and legs very
large and heavily muscled, swift runners,
quick in movement, hard, sure tacklers,
good blockers, while not easily blocked
themselves, brilliant rupners with the ball,
and withal possessing an aptitude for the
.game with almost unlimited capacity for
headwork, they stand uuequaled in this po
sition. In breaking through the line the tackle
should play far enough javAy xrosa the J
PlTTSBtTKG DISPATCH,
gnard to insure his not getting tangled up
with him, for it is his dut on nearly all
occasions to go through the lines as quickly
as possible for tackling. It is a constant
question with him whether to go on the in
side or outside of his opponent.
Duties or the KncI Rashers.
The end rnshers fill two of the most
important positions of the eleven as a rule,
for they have the duty of preventing the
long runs of the game. It ia an unusual
thing for a long run fo be made through
the line on account of the excellent sup
port the rushers have behind the line; but
let a rusher once get around the end with
one or two Interferers ahead of him, as is
usually the case on such runs, and he is
likely' to go a long distance down the field
and not unusually make a touch down.
For this reason the end rusher must be
a fine tackier even in the face of interfer
ence, and for the same and other reasons
he should be a quick man and a fast runner.
At the same time the position requires a
cautious, headv player to know when to
leave his position for assisting in another
Eart of the Geld, and also just how to treat
is interferers so that he can tackle a chance
to do so. It is not enough for the end
rusher simply "to force the runner to go on
the inside of him," as the coachers are con
stantly enjoining (for practically a run
around the end may be made by blocking
the end man when he plays out too far), but
he should also have a hand in the tackling
himself.
"Be the first man down the field on a
kick" is the motto early installed in the
would-be end rusher, and to do that and
tackle his man every time is no small ac
complishment. It means long practice and
much careful study of how to get the direc
tion the ball is kicked, and the best ways of
approaching the man to whom the ball goes.
lieqnires Qn ckn-M and Courage.
We have now oome to the last division,
namely, the backs, consisting of two half
backs and the full back. These stand from
ten to twenty feet back of the rush line
where their side has the balL They group
themselves at easy distances from each
other and in such a way as to best assist in
carrying out the play which is about to be
made. They are the conveying power
largely and most of the advances into the
opponents' territory are made by them.
For this reason men are selected to fill these
positions who are quick, swift runners and
at the sime time are men of dashing courage.
Again and again they must run headlong
into the Hue, oftentimes only to be hurled
back by the fierce rushers who plunge
through the line at them.
Yet, never losing courage, again andagain
they must come to the rally, now attacking
the opponents' center by heavy plunging,
now trying to make a detour around the
wings, now this tactic, now that, and all in
response to signals given by the captain,
who is the general of the game. Sometimes,
when repented attempts to carry the ball
the requisite five yards before four downs
have been made have failed, the ball is
passed back to the fullback for a kick and
with one mighty strose with his foot the
ball goes flying into the air towards the
opponents' goal. A. A. Stago.

the horns and slant backward; they are
nearly on a level with the eves. (Figure
20.) The eye is always placed" slanting, the
outer corner ranch higher than the inner.
(Figure 20.) This is a marked feature of all
animals.
Perhaps the most difficult part of the head
to draw is the nose and mouth. It may bo
well to draw the general outline in one
smooth curve, in the exact proportion it
bears to the remainder of the head, then to
put in the variations from it of nostril, up
per lip, mouth and lower lip. In figure 20
the five distinct planes, or changes of sur
face, are indicated outside the outline. The
side of the upper lip always drops in a
curve much lower than the front of the
mouth (figure 21); it is caught in quite
sharply at the cheek. Observe the plan of
the end of the nose in the diagram of the
frout of the cow's head. Figure 21. Note
the exact shape ol the part not covered with
hair; note the dip of the upper line at the
center, between the nostrils, and the up
ward bend of the lower line. A good deal
of expression lies in this small feature.
Figure 21 also gives the leading lines of the
whole front view. Locate carefully the"
narrowest part of the nose, and note the
projection of the horns and the ears, com
pared with each other and wiih the width
and length of the whole head.
In figure 22 note the position of the fore
legs in reclining, the heavy proportion the
body bears to the legs, and the prominent
carriage or the head.

have the young cow, or calf. The general I

very like the cow's, only the details
are less plainly marked. Note that,
as in many a imals. the greatest height
is judt over the hind legs: note, in com
parison with the cow, the shorter body, the
larger bead, the longer, thinner legs, the
very tiny horns, the prominent ears, and
the more delic ite shoulder and hip sections.
In the cow there is little difficulty in dis
tinguishing the bony frame. The snort hair
allows the outline to be readily followed,
and the action to be easily seen. In regard
to characteristic action, it mav be said that
there is very little variety, as the number
of positions which the cow can take is com
paratively small; these are familiar to al
most every one.
In a drawing of the cow endeavor to ex
press the feeling or sentiment of complete
docility. Then, after the animal is com
1 leted, as the figure of a cow is in perfect
keeping with a peaceful landscape, add
those field or meadow surroundings, without
which this animal would hardly appear
natural, and which will supply the needed
picturesque element. Caroline tfuutltimmar.

Mr. Edison says there are sixty million
dollars worth of iron ore in sight. The first
order taken by the company was for a hun

where iron is. It is shaped like a compass

it. This is known by the dip of the needle

with certainty the various deposits. There
is no doubt that there is a big fortune in

"An appreciation of Milton," said the

severe statement holds the keynote of all
intellectual pleasures, adds Agnes Repp
Her. To enjoy any good book it is neces

arouse our sleepy faculties into some faint

then the reward they offer is more generous

Even exertion grows dear to us in time,

healthy satisfaction in each onward step,

CHAPTER VUX
Tlietrnth was that Kathleen's mother
had brought her to Saltravia with a most
ambitious motive. After leaving Stutt
gardt they had been living for several
months n Dresden, and there she had heard
things concerning Clarimond which made it
seem at least conceivable that a splendid
event might crown past disappointments
and chagrins. Poor Kathleen, whose health
naa somewhat failed of late, did not dream the secret of my having brought you here
of the audacity which underlay hermother's You see, I'm 11 aking a clean breast of it to
proposal that they should visit the Saltra
vian springs. They had hardly been there
three days at the hotel when Clarimond,
strolling one evening just at sunset past ths
Casino, saw Kathleen, and was struck by
her peculiar loveliness. The princess de
tested his democratic way of exhibiting
himself, as she called it, and more than once
implored him not to appear thus publicly.
But the King had no idea of hedging him
self with his own divinity; he had long ago
formed the habit of going and coming like
I've xtst heard, mk ttjaxter,
a private gentleman, and though the stares
of the crowd did not precisely please him,
they were less of a bore than would have
been compulsory self-immurement. Mrs.
Kennaird was quickly plunged into an
ecstasy by his evident admiration of Kath
leen.
"I do wish one could know hlm" she said
to her daughter. "Did von notice how he
looked nt vou, mj dear?'
"No," said Kathleen. "It seemed to me
that he looked at everybody equally and in
the most amiable.manner."
"They say," continued Mrs. Kennalrd,
"that he is wonderfully amiable for a king.
And be certainly is very handsome; don t
you think so?"
"I think him very distinguished." Kath
leen's eyes glistened as she added: "There's
a picturesqneness about him that cor
responds perfectly with this lovely land he
rules. He interesls me very greatly. I
don't mean so much because of his royalty as
of the artistic atmosphere in which he seems
to dwell; though one must allow each its at
tractive force."
"His being royal is hardly an objection I
should say," remarked Mrs. Kennalrd.
"One can endure it. At least I can; that is
ina son-in-law." And she laughed a sort
of tinkling little langh.
"Mammal Good heavensl What are you
saying?"
As she spoke, Kathleen flushed to her
temples and then grew colorless.
They had left the Casino and had reached
a somewhat lonely spot, where at a distance
you conld see the pale marvels of the pal
ace with its innumerable spires, turrets and
crennelations above the bounteous verdure
of the dark green champaign. Between
masses of spicy-scented hemlocks flashed
and splashed a cascade, and so strong was
the afternoon breeze that it blew little
spray-laden gusts from the foamy and tum
bling turbulence of water. Mother and
child were now wholly alone, as it chanced,
and Mrs. Kennaird, with a look to right
and left as though an ambushed listener
were possible, if not just a likelihood, sud
denlv said:
"I'm not dealing in such fairy dreams,
my dear, after all." And then she let her
hand rest on the girl's arm, steadily and
meaningly pressing it.
"Mammal mamma! Even if I cared to
marry anyone. I "
"You sfiall not sacrifice your life to that
ruffian, Kathleen! Eor this is what he had
been to us both! I shall never be happy
until I see you married happily and
brilliantly, too. Of course King" Clari
mond wou'd be a glorious triumph tor you.
I've dared to dream of such an event.
Yes, Kathleen, I actually have. And
there are strong reasons, my dear, why I
should so have dreamed. You remember
that Mrs. Winslow in Dresden that
bright little Boston woman with the lemon
colored evebrows who gave us our
letter to the Jerninghams here? Well,
it was she who first roused in me my daring
idea. She looked at you on the evening
that we dined with her, and murmured to
me that you had the a'r of a'queen because
your manner at once so grand and so
simple, and then (this she said in
the frankest yet most abrupt fashion,
as if it were only an after thought)
because yen were so entirely, so exception

his hatred of morganatic marriages had
given offense to some of the haughtiest no
bles in Europe, and that he had refused to
receive a certain princely consin of his on
account of having contracted such an alli
ance. Then she said other things concern
ing Clarimond; she spoke of his intense
democracy, of his rumored assertion that he
meant to marry the woman he loved even
though she were born a peasant; and lastly,
of his well-known regard for America ana
the American people. This, my dear, was
yon now. Don t stare at me in that amazed
manner. You act as if you'd just heard an
explosion of dynamite."
"I have, mamma and a rather loud one."
Mrs. Kennaird drew herself up and gave
several short nods. "Kathleen, stranger
things have happened. And if there's a
woman living who could bring about such a
development I believe that I am she."
They had reached a small rustioseat,
within a thicket of laurels whence rose a
bust in granite of Pojslikin, the famed
Kussianpoet. Kathleen sank into the seat
almost exhausted, heaving a quick sudden

sigh, while her mother stood beside her, a
presence of extreme stateliness and distinc
tion. "Are you tired, my dear, so soon?" she
asked.
Kathleen looked up at her with a cold,
fatigued smile. "You've wearied me be
yond expression," she answered.
"My child!"
"Oh, mamma, it's true! You know that I
loved him, and that I love him still! To
yon it may sound senseless enough but he
is mora to me than a whole dynasty of
Kingsl And then for yon to torment me by
this new folly! As if you had not already
made me go through enough. As if I were
not the butt and jeer ot hundreds of people
at this very hour. Surely you might have
some mercy after what you dragged mi
through in"London!"
"Kathleen! Kathleen! This is atrocious!"
"It is indeed!" cried the girl, and with
out another word she sprang to her feet and
hurried away, leaving her mother to gaze at
her figure as it retreated among the t'ringy
frondage of the hemlocks.
Well though she believed that she knew
Kathleen, Mrs. Kennaird had not a doubt
that the actnal success of her new and most
characteristic design would win from her
child the gladdest sort of acquiescence.
There are some natures that can no mora
conceive ol others really refusing certain
positive worldly gains when the chance
comes for paipablv grasping them than a
man born color blind can conceive of the
lights and shades in a canvas by Rousseau
orDanbigny. If it was fated that this ex
traordinary, this unprecedented young King
should fall in love with her daughter, his
nuptial path would of course be one strewn
with roses. As if any woman could or
would refuse to become a queen! Kathleen
was capable of odd behavior, beyond a
doubt, but even her worse vagaries must
end at the bounds of lunacy.
That afternoon the Kennairds had re
ceived an invitation to go and drink tea at
the Jerningham's villa. They had not yet
met the Jerninghams, though brother and
sister had both left cards upon herself and
Kathleen a few days ago, finding them ab
sent from the hotel. When Mrs. Kennaird
again saw her daughter she refused to pay
the proposed visit.
"Say that I am unwell, mamma," was
Kathleen's announcement. "Say anything
you please. I shall not go."
"But you must, my dear. They are not
Iieople to treat rudely, although I have
earned since we have been at the hotel,
that they are exclusively in the foreign set
and that neither the King nor any of his
court honor their entertainments. It seems
that Mr. Jerningham has made himself un
popular in Saltravia. He has quarreled
with the King's favorite friend, the archi
tect who built for him that superb marble
palace a person named Mr. Erie Thaxter,
an American, and "
