They need know little or nothing about kicking, and should never touch foot to the ball except iu case of a free kl- k. Even then it is not neces sary, for a pl ico kick can be taken instead by one of the other players, and is general ly preferable. Weight is not so essential for the rest of tho team, but in addition to tho other qualifications of tho rushers they must be good kickers; also they should be sure tacklers to stop an opponent if ho suc ceeds iu breaking through the rush line.

The time of a game is an hour and a half, each side playing lorty-flve minutes from each gi.il. with an intermission of ten min utes between the two halves. No one is ullowed to wear projecting nails or iron plates. A scrimmage takes place when the holder of the bull places it 011 the ground and puts it in play by kicking it or snapping it back. A Dlayor Is offside if during a scrimmuge he gets In front of the ball or if the ball has been lust touched by his own side behind him, and when off side he is not allowed to touch the ball. A player being off si !e is put on side when the ball has touched an opponent 01 when one of his own side has run in front of hira either with the ball or having touched it when behind him. No player shall Interfere with an oppon ent in any way unless he has the ball. A foul shall be granted for intentional de lay of game, off-side play, or holding an opponent unless he has the ball; the pen alty of a foul Is a down for the other side. A player shall be disqualified for unneces sary roughness, hacking, throttling, butt ing. tripping up, intentional tackling be low the knees, and striking with the closed fists.

A player may throw or pass the ball in any direction except toward the opponents' goal; it shall be given to the opponents if It be batted or thrown forward.

QUESTION much dis /jT. Xkcussed of late, and one rAfv, possesses a wide w "spread interest to young and old men, J widows and maidens, is that ever-present | problem, "Is marriage ]t ,a failure?" Mr. Car (JJ_Y\ roll D. Wright, the rf / I Commissioner of the I J /\/ Labor Bureau at Wash- LJ J =5 ington, has just tiu- gS ished a prolonged in vestigation of the much discussed matrimonial problem, and he presents cold facts aud figures in re gard to domestic infelicity that are worth considering. These help to de termine whether or not divorces are increasing, the condition of marital relations, and other points relating to the question. The report of the Commissioner con tains a variety of interesting points outside of the dry figures. He says that there are more cases of cruelty charged against wives than against husbands. In some of the cases in which husbands were complainavts funny reasons are alleged as grounifc for divorces. For instance, one man swears that his wife wouldn't sew but tons on his clothes. The aflidavit of u witness is presented, testifying that this man was often seen with only one button on his vest. Another husband says his wife pulls all the clothing off him every night, leaving him to shiver until morning. A case possessing more than ordinary interest and showing how frail and heartless a young married ■woman may be is that of a prominent couple taking their wedding trip. They left New York on the evening of tlieir marriage. The bride, happening to be left by her husband, who went into the smoker for a few moments, was carrying on a very enthusiastic flirta tion when her husband returned. This started a quarrel, which ended iu an immediate separation, that soon ter minated in a divorce. Commissioner Wright gives a table showing that the duration of married life before divorce is 8.79 years for the husband, and 9.29 for the wife. There were 27,809 couples in the United States who lived together about four years before tliey sought divorce, 27,- 200 who tired of marriage relations at the end of three years, aud 21,523 w ho preferred single blessedness in two years, while 15,622 wore satisfied after one whole year. These figures do uot lie. The Delegate Hp-Stairs. One day when a whole 'bus full ol ns drove lip to the hotel in Lynch burg, Va., the landlord remembered that he had a drummer from New York who had been suffering terribly with a toothache for two or three days. He had tiied every remedy known to man, except that of having it pulled. lie said he hoped some one of us might be able to suggest something, ami slowly added: "Gentlemen, J have heard that a sudden shock to a man's nervous sys tem would sometimes cure the worst toothache. Can't you plan something?" Six or eight of us got together in the leading room, and it was Anally decid ed that a man named Simmons, who turned out to be a patent medicine ad vertiser, should go up to the room and startle the New-Yorker. He was to do it by claiming to have seen a dispatch to the effect that his wife had run away with another man. We thought that ought to cure his toothache if any thing would. "How big a man is lie!" asked the delegate when ready to go up. "Oh, he's rather undersized," replied the landlord. "If ho should get on his car, you can easily slam him all over the room." The medicine man went up. We followed, and stood at the door to hoar the result. He found the New-Yorker groaning liko a sick horse; and after introducing himself, he said: "Sorry for you, old fellow, particu larly ut this time, but I have bad news for you." "No!" exclaimed the other, sitting lip in bed. "lie calm, old boy, It's about your wife." "Is—she dead?" "Better for you if she was. She's ran awav with a street-car conductor!" There was a wild yell, followed by several whoops and a crash. Then the medicine man fell into the liall, and a wild figure dragged him up and down, and mopped him around, and made bear fodder of him. It was five minutes before we could get him off and get his victim awav. We carried the latter into a sample-room, stretched him out on a table, aud had sponged his faco for the third time, when he opened his eyes. "How do you feel now ?" asked one of the boys. "Queer. What's happened." "You went to see the New-Y'orker." "Oh, yes. He had the toothache." "He did, and you kindly consented to shock his mental system. It was a great success." "I cured it, did I?" "You did," "But, great heavens! feel of me; keep on sponging! I'm nothing hut u big splatter of jelly! Boys, if I die, and 1 hope I will, i'll haunt every in fernal one of you day and night until I drive you to hang yourselves with your own suspenders." AN OBJECT OF CHARITY.

A Product of Eastern Life, and How It is Made, The Oriental lug is the product of Eastern life. The mountain s ! eep sup plied its material, nature taught tie design and gave the coloring, and the religion of the people became the im pul.-e and guiding spirit of the deft woman fingers that through many centu ries spread the knotted mystic covers in the homes and shrines of the Orient. In the prayer of the Islam centre vari ous sacred ideas. He bows down hefoie his Maker, and the material on which he rests his hands must he susceptible to spotless cleanliness; he wants to find li'msclf in an atmosplieie of high thoughts and sacred suggestions, and as ho looks down in kneeling lie sees the living green and crimson—symbols of life and power—mingled in all mystic figures with blue and go!d that carry to him faint ide sof love and glory. At home in the rooms where the morning sun looks in the pious Turk finds in his prayer-rug the associations of the mosques in his natixe city, or of the holiest of holies where lie piave 1 in his pilgiamage to Mecca, in the form of (loin s and panels and the designs of! encaustic tiles, and peculiar ariauge- j ments of stone and brick in the walls ; ! so that wherever the worshiping Turk j may be found, kneeling upon a prayer- j rug against the eastern sky, the soul j finds itself in the midst of sacred asso- j ciations and breathes the holy atmos- j pliere of the temple where it lifts prayed i with the faithful. Thus diguitied, the Oriental rug be came a great institution among the i peop'es of the Orient, both Moslem and Christian, and indi stry and talent have been devoted to it for centuries. By reason of the high value thus put upon a good rug, the mothcis and daughte s of the people who set themselves to the arduous task of "tying up" a rug spmul no pains in procuring the best j materials, and their zeal developed the : highest talent. In many cases they were made for xotive offerings to mosques and shrines; then nothing was to be spared. The finest wool, the best of dyes and the highest talent were . put upon the altar ; and some of these j old Kazak and Dagliistan rugs that I stray out of a Turkish mcs pie or shrine are splendid works of art, with an ex uberance of rich f-ol't coloring and bold design that delight the eyes and call forth the admiration of appreciative j minds. There is no complicated machinery in the manufacture of an Orient d rug, the , wa'-p being st etched 011 a simple frame, and all the rest of the work done by tying the colored yarn across the warp in a line, in ape -uliar strong knot, combing it down hard and cutting it the necessary length. Where each part'cular tuft of yarn had thus to be tie.l in a knot by the skillful fingers of i the artist weaver, a medium sized rug of good quality required the labor of months or years, according to the simple or elaborate design which the artist i carried in mind. Considering tlio fact that the e was no machinery to save labor, 110 chemi cals, 110 shadow of an art school, an antique Oriental rug of fair quality, that in color and texture has defied tin tread of centuries, is 110 mean proof of 1 the patient industry and consilium ite , artistic skill of the daugliteis of the Orient. The peculiar charm and characteristic of the antique Oriental rug is its per fect naturalness. The soft yet deep colors, the strength of t -xtuve and the charming irregularity of the most per-1 feet d( signs suggest the beauty of natural scenery and are equally unmistakable. No iniifati-ms are offered as Oriental rugs. To imitate color and texture of the antique rugs would ci-st more than to purchas - the rugs, and as for the designs—the most perfect machine-made imitation would at once leveal a very regular ir. egularity. Turk'sh rugs are still make on the family looms of the people, every girl in the country preparing a number of fine rugs for her dower before the age of 16 or 18 years. What are known as "Royal Antique Rugs" are the rare rugs made by the earlier princesses of the various khans in the country, in accord ance with the custom of the people and as a royal recreation. Modern prin cesses of the East seek a less laborious recreation by investing in the luxuries of the Western world. The fine antique. Dagliistan, Kazak and Anatolian rugs were woven a cen tury or more ago by the daughters of the wealthier families in the country, and being carefully used by several succeeding generations as family relics have been handed down to tlio pri s -lit owners, who now dispose of them, generally by reason of want, and in some cases us a favor to the native buyer. The wool of these rugs is colored by fast vegetable dyes, the preparation of thevaiims colors being family secrets never revealed to others. Not a few of these fast dyes are now among the lost arts.—[Mail and Expiess.

It appears that some people are unduly alarmed about the disappearance of the vast forests of America when it is con sidered how long the timber-cutting busi ness has been in operation in the Northern and Northwestern States, and how much timber still remains standing in those sections, and then compare the immense forest in the extreme Northwest, West and South, which are as yet almost un touched. Take for instance the timber belt of Washington Territory, which covers an area equal to that of the States of Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Hampshire. It is asserted by those in position to know, that Puget Sound has 1,800 miles of shore line, and all along this line, miles and miles farther than the eye can reach, is one vast and almost unbroken forest of enormous trees. The forests are so vast that, al - though the saw mills have been ripping | 500,000,000 feet of timber out of them 1 every year for the past ten years, the i spaces made by these inroads seem 110 more than garden patches. An official estimate places the amount of standing timber in that area at 500,000,000,000 feet, or at liousaud years' supply, even at i the enormous rate the timber is now being j felled and sawed.
