Tc the College Man It Is as a Flag to
a Nation.
What a flag Is to a nation a varsity
lctter Is to a college man. I.Ike a ban
ner, a varsity letter Is clustered around
with comedies aud tragedies, with
yearnings and hcartlittrningn. The
hi" of Harvard, the "Y" of Yale, the
"P" of Princeton and the varsity let
ters of the various other colleges and
universities have meanings to college
men which never occur to others. And
there are strict rules and conditions
surrounding the letters.
Every Harvard athlete who wins an
"H" sweater must oliey the unwritten
rulo of that university the rule which
says succinctly that an "II" sweater
must not be displayed save on tho field
of action. Even In such appropriate
places It ought not to make Its appear
ance with excessive frequency. On or
dinary occasions good tnsto at Har
vard Inspires a varsity athleto to wear
a class or prep school sweater. At
Yale a "Y" man, if ho lie n modest
fellow generally, may appear even In
Chnpel street In his "Y" sweater, but
that sort of thing nt Cambridge Is ab
solutely prohibited.
It Is generally thought that the man
who would display his "II" III the
streets or In the "yard" Is the sort of
man who wishes peoplo to know that
he has done something. Therefore, (lie
argument runs, he Is tho sort of man
ho should feel the force of the gen
eral contempt.
There are four kinds of "II" sweat
era which may lie worn on the field of
action. In baseball and track ath
letics a solid crimson ' sweater is the
reward of superior excellence a black
"II" for the baseball and a white "II'V
for the track. The varsity footbnll
sweater at Cambridge Is blnck, with a
small crimson "II." The crow sweater
Is solid white, with a crimson "II."
Of late years the custom has grown
up of giving some sort of "II" recog
nition to the varsity men In the minor
sports.
In basket ball the athletic powers
that be confer n crimson sweater, with
a white "II" which contains between
Its uprights two small "It's."
Tito varsity tennis men get a white
sweater with a red "II," In the lines
of which are small "T's."
Tho hockey men, who are strongly in
touch with the football team, earn an
"II. T." black sweater.
The day has gone by when a superb
athlete can reap n collection of all the
"H's," for the faculty now restricts an
athlete's participation to two major
sports. In the nineties it was possible
for a man to earn an "II" In footbnll,
rowing, baseball and. track. Boston

Thackeray as a Diner.
Many worthy and some notable per
sons have possessed tho onion habit
now nnd again. William Makepeace
Thackeray, writing of himself In "I.ov
ell the Widower," says, "It Is notori
ous to nil my friends there Is a cer
tain dish I cannot resist." He referred
to stewed tripe and onions, as a proof
of which It is narrated of him that on
one occasion while on his way to dine
with the Marquis of Westminster hi::
eye caught t-lgjit of a placard In tho
window of a London restaurant bear
ing tho legend, "Tripe and onions to
night." Going In, he called for the
dish and writing materials nnd wrote
off as on excuse to his would be host
that he had unexpectedly met an old ,
friend that Insisted upon detaining
him. Thackeray's favorite edibles were
raw oysters and onions, nnd It may be
recalled that he told Mr. Field, the
Boston author, who acted as agent In
his lecture tour In this country, that
his chief purpose In coming to Amer
ica was to obtain some of the famous
largo oysters of tills land which he
hud heard grew to, fabulous slz.e In
stead of the little coppery things of
n:islr.nd. At thU first dinner of Bor
ton. therefore, a plato of large "Provi
dence rivers" was set before him as
an appetizer. He partook of one with
a surprised look. Being asked how he
felt, he replied: "Profoundly grateful.
1 feel as If I had swallowed a baby."
He added that be must eat an onion to
digest him.
Two Ways of Love.
Two brothers who had not wen each
other for ten years met at tbe Orsnd
Central station, New York. As soon as
one saw the other coming down the
platform he rushed toward him and
fell on his neck. They bogged eacb
other, these honest German black
smiths; they kissed each otber; tbey
jumped about and shouted and laugh
ed wildly In -their Joy. An observing
crowd Impeded the movements of pas
sengers, and the brothers, arrested for
disturbing the peace, were thrown Into
a cell, where they could exchange reminiscences-
and vent their happiness
without jarring the less Hatntlmental.
An eminent Bostoniau was away
from the city for a dozen years. Re
turning, he visited his club, and he
thus described his visit: "There were
the same men In tbe same seats. They
were drinking the drinks they used to
order when I left. They were talking
about the same things. One of them
looked up when I went Into the room,
inxlded and said: 'Hello. Wlgglespoon!
flow are you? Haven't seen you late
ly.' And then he turned to the crowd.
'As I was saying, the park system
would be still better If "-

The Onion's Virtues.
. Onions are really sweeteners of the
breath after the local effects have pass
ed away, says one learned doctor.
Tbey correct stomach disorders nnd
carry off the accumulated poisons of
the system. They provide a hlood nu
rlfler that all may freely use. As a
vermifuge the onion cannot be surpass
ed and eaten raw will often check a
violent cold in the head. Ono small on
ion eaten every night before retiring is
this well known doctor's prescription
for numerous affections of the head
and Is highly recommended for sleep
lessness. It acts on the nerves In a
soothing way, without the Injurious ef
fects of tbe drugs often applied.
