When George Parker made bla first ppearaDoe on tbe football : flekl at Olevedon ooUege, about two weeks aft er the term began, be came unheralded and unknown. The football enthuslasti bad been for days diaoogatng the meit qaallfloatioD of the Tariooi uew tanen who had come np lor tbeflnt time mat year and were trying for positions on tbe team.' Good football material was scarce at Olevedon, and the captain and the coach were at their wits' -end to oonatrnct a winning team with the can didate who had that far appeared. Tbe very day that Parker made hi initial appearance they : had held a abort council in tbe direotorg' office at the gymnasium before going on the field for tbe afternoon praotioe, and tbe outlook, a they viewed it at the time, was gloomy -indeed . n ; Candidate for position behind tbe line were many, and fome of them gave promise of developing into good players, but the linemen, especially tbe tackles, left much to bo desired at the Close of their conversation . Shaw, the coach, expressed himself very forcibly as to the qualifications of at least one of tbe players: "I tell you, Arnold, we must get some life into that line or tbe best back In the world won't win games for us. Now. there's firioe at left tackle. He's big and strong anongh to stop a freight train,. but be plays as thoogn ne were neaa on nis feei If we only bad some man to go In against bim on ' tbe sornb eleven and wake bim up and give him a bit of soarev he might amount to something, but as it is he's about as lively as an Ice wagon." . All this, was too obvious to elicit anything more than a very gloomy ac quiescence from tbe captain, and the two men tramped oat through the gym nasium to tbe praotioe field, and here the found Parker for the first time among tbe crowd of youths passing and kicking tbe ball. He was of medium height, rather light but firmly built, resembling tbe other young men around him in general appearance, except for ft rather unusual squarensa of the jaw" ana leveioeea ui hh He came toCievedon from ao obscure little academy in a distant state, where be had prepared for college. Tbe cap tain of the scrub eleven had noticed him in ebaoel in tbe morning andjifterwaid bad hunted him oat, and, having learn ed by dint of hard questioning that be had played football and at least knew tbe rudiments of toe game, nao assea him to come out to tbe field in the aft ernoon- and have try at the aeeood eleven. r-n- r 'n -i;-, Tbe second or scrub eleven, b H known, ia oomposed of tbe candidates who are denied a place on tbe varsity ad who yet for tbe sake of the sport and in tbe hope that one day promotion ms'T find them out are willing to-won on without glory or reward aniens tbey find them in tbe bard praotioe game played dally with tbe varsity. From tbe rank of the scrubs come tbe substi tute for the varsity, and a good player ia the former may well dare hope to be ebossn on the varsity the next year. It is, sis ooe may see, a sort of spprentice shin or training school through which one most pase before be reaches tbe varsity. " V - It bad been tbe bane of tbe seron cap tain's life hitherto that be bad not beea able to find a maar in bis miseellanooa lot who was able to play a bard enough aame "against Br ice, tbe varsity left tackle, either to aaost that gesUlasnaa any particular inconvenlenoe or to satis fy the demands of Bbaw. Tbey bad all saade tbe mistake of "booking" straight nto bint, and being Inferior is weight and moacle to Brio, who was a giaot in si, if not la intellect, tbe malt may be Imagined. "t Thus it happened that la sheer des peration Parker was el Seen oo this bis first aigbt oat to go lor against Btios, and, If poastbJa, frighten bim iaio ins proving hi playing. ' ' ? As tha two mea looked catofa other aver for a moment before tbe ball was pat In plsy Brie thought to himself, rather cxntanptsoaely, that be woo Id Juve ao troable with this stripling, bat raw Parker bed broken through tera or three times on plays aroand bU setd and downed tbe maa with tbe ball he begaa to reaHsa that be bad a very aa asaal sort of arrob te deal with, aad that it would require soraethinc Uirsraat from hie ortMnary style nrlLa mm to kaB thl UlloW Ot pied. After be sweats to this fact Par bar's sot barajM sat bar basoar, aad ha wa foroed to eoanant blaaaalf wMb aa wnasJnaal tarkla behind tbe tstarfar- was (tow or we tmll waa rjoorlr Bot the cliatax twaae jaa before esea of tax it SBinataa' praotioe. Tba varsity had carried tba ball eVrera tbe Seid directly ia frost of aad about tO yards from tba aorabs' goal. - Parker bad aoeoaaa aaaaahat asd to tha var sity play by tM la, 4 wbea e saw tbe' fni'l back drop tack and tbe j half back move out from and back of tbeir rogulnr positions he knew that a goal from tbe field - was to be tried. tiers was his last chance to outwit the. now folly awakened iirics. - - . Instead of moving out, aa he might have been expected to do, in order to get a clearer field and open the line, be moved in close and made a fetbt aa though intcndlnflo dive between tackle aud guard, which was just tbe sort of play it was the delight of Brioe'l heart to stop. He wag practically immovable, and woe to tbe unlucky mortal wbo at tempted "go through" him. Nothing, however, was further from Parker's mind than the attempting of snob a feat. Instead, as ibe ball was snapped, be wheeled out quickly, caught Brioe's arm in his own aud, whirling upon him as on a pivot, threw that worthy flat on his back and rushed , at tbe full back just in time to block a well direct ed try for goal. ; ' ' . Tbe men on the side lines cheered lustily for the plucky sorab tacklo,and the ooach gladdened, bis heart wit bra few words of commendation, while the discomfited Biloe had a bad five minutes explaining to the captain bow it all happened. ; . After that Parker's play was careful ly watched by both 8baw and Arnold, aud Brioe was warned that nnless be looked sharp and worked hard be might yet lose the position which he bad be gun to look upon as peculiarly his own. Under tbis stimulus he improved won derfully, and the hopes of tbe rooters rose, again as they saw the line grow stronger and faster day by day. . Tbe' great game of tbe season, for which all the others were but a preps ra tion, was tbe one with Hanover college, and was to be played this year at Oleve don. For three years tbe yellow and blue of Hanover had waved triumphant, and their team was reported to be in better condition than ever. I At last the great dayarrivedjafldtUa morning train brought with it the Han over team and a great crowd of students, already boasting of the victory that was sure to. be theirs. Odds were offered freely, bot the Olevedon boys, mindful of the lessons of former defeats, wero slow to bet, and much Hanover money went begging. - The day waan ideal one for football, crisp and cool, with that suspicion of frost in tbe air that, puts every player on his mettle and makes every nerve tingle with pore bnman joy of living. On suoh a day even a disordered liver loses its assendency over tbe mind, and the blood races through tbe veins in an exhilarating flood. In spite of the lateness of tbe season tbe olose clipped turf was green and soft as velvet, and tbe field, lined on either side with bleachers filled with a gayly dressed, rib bon bedeoked crowd, was an inspiring tight Everyone in tbe little town, without regard to age, sex or present condition of servitude, bad turned out to witness what proved to be a battle royal. . ' r - Hanover, with their usual good for tune, won tbe toss and chose tbe north goal, with the wind at their backs. Burrows, the Olevedon full back, swung bis toe into1 'he pigskin aud sent Jl whirling well down into tbe enemy's country, with the ends close after it. and tba battle was on. Hanover sent their backs around the Olevedon ends for a few short gains, and then lost tbe ball on a fumble. Olevedon held it for few plays and lost it, and so tbe bat tie raged. Back and forth in tbe center of tbe field tbey fought; Occasionally a long kiok by tbe fall back would drive tbe ball down tbe field, and one goal or the other would be temporarily en dangered, but soon tbe ball would ibe carried back to tbe center, and tbe struggle would be begun again. Tbe teams were so evenly matched tbat nei porary advantage over tbe other, endJ ZZl TV.,. -iiL.i -i.u h.-TT ther wss able to gain more than a tem tbe first half closed without either bav log ecored. . 5 " For tbe first five minutes of the sec ond half it waa tbe same ilory over again, but after one of Hnnover's fleroa toshes into tba line a flgtre waa seen stretched on the ground and a thrill of apprehension ran along the side lines. "Who Is itr 'Is he Hanover or Cleve- don?" "What sabs have wer" were some of tbe question anxiously asked. To the dismay of tba U laved oo con tingent, it was discovered In a moment tbat it was Brioe, the big left tackle. whose lame ankle bad finally succumb ed to a Severe wrench. For bim to eon. tinne longer in tbe game waa oat of tbe location, bat who was there to take bl place? The only man who had prac ticed la that position was Parker, and wbea tbe "rooters aaw bim strip off his sweater and trot across the field obe dient to-tbe captain's amnions tbeir heart sank witbiqbem. What chance would such a green stripling nab have gainst such a heavy, experienced play er as tbe Hanover tackle? Bat tbe cap tain remembered Parker's play against Brio and held bl peace. , Tbe first play demonstrated tbat, whatever els be night be, Parker was DO ooward. Whenever there waa a rash through but side of tbe line ha was gen erally found at tba bottom of tbe heap wbea tbe maas of men untangled J 1st It Bot tbe fierce, determined, - fmlldog tame tbat Hanover was playing wss beginning to tell,' aad slowly tbe ball was being carried nearer tbe coveted Clevedoa foal 40 yards, 4ft, 40, aa Ul the ball lay on tb 10 yard line, and here tbe advance stopped.

On th Ctavrdoa aide of the field there wus a gloomy silenoe thai was almost tangible. Only seven nun ntes to play and tbe score II to 0 against thorn. 'Burrow put tbe ball in play again with a .low, swift kick that sent it straight' at one- of the. big Hanover guards. . Taken by surprise, instead of holding It, be let the ball bound baok from bis brood obest straight toward Parker, : who was rushing down the field. As tbe ball bounded toward him, remembering the injunction of the coach never to try to kick np a ball uu less he bad a clear field before bim, be threw himself full length, at tbe covet ed oval and gathered It in his arras. At the same moment tbe unlucky guard, rushing from the other direction to repair bis error, stumbled over the prostrate form and, whether it was in tentional or accidental no one ever knew, struck poor Parker full in the faoe with the toe of his heavy shoe, cut ting a deep gash above his left eye. To tbe Olevedon supporters on the fide lines it seemed a though an evil fate was pursuing them. There was no one to take - Parker's plaoo, and bowoould he play with a deep out iu bis bead and the blood streaming down his faoe? But they failed to recognize tbe spirit of tbe boy, and when tbe eoaob tried to lead him from tbe field he flatly refused to be taken away. "Let me stay tbe game out," he pleaded, and then aa a shrewd afterthought be added, "Who'll you put in my place any way f The force of tbis argument struck tbe ooacn, ana, pleased with tbe boy 'a grit, he had no alternative but to yield, and back hito bis place went Parker, with his bloody face . and a handkerchief bound round his head. :.. If be had played bard before, he play ed like a demon now, but tbe team was going down bill fast. Tbe men had lost heart and with ever increasing swiftness tbe Hanover wedge ground its way down the field until -a final breathless UUy atopped tbe ad yard line. One minute to play and tbe Hanover full back dropped baok for on other try for goal. Here was a last des perate obance, and In spite of his sob ing, whirling bead Parker remembered the trick tbat had worked so well on Brioe and shoved in close to bis oppo nent. The latter, mistaking the move ment, closed np tbe gap, when, quick as a flash, as tbe boll was snapped, Parker sprang out, whipped bis husky opponent half around and rushed at the full baok like a tiger, with tbe speedy quarter baok close at bl heels. Tbe kick waa swift and sure, but Parker waa quicker, aud as the ball rose he sprang high in- tbe air and oaugbt M full on bis outstretched arms. . As (he ball bounded back Sheldon, tbe quarter back, snatched, it, np, and was off for tbe Hanover goal, 80 yards away. Behind him strained tbe Hanover half back In bot pursuit, but it was no use. A stern chose Is a long one, and Sheldon did not bold the varsity reoord for the 100 yardjior nothing. He plant-' ed the ball squarely between tbe goal posts, and Burrows kicked an easy goal, making tbe score 0 to 0 in Clevedoa' favor, and time was np. . And Parker well, Parker fainted away in tbe arms of his roommate as be tried to walk off tbe field and was sick for a month with brain fever. But be bad earned his nickname of "Bull- beaded" Parker, and lived to prove his full right and title to it on many a hard fought field.

The plan of Mr. John Shawver of Ohio for building barn with a plank frame is attracting much notlo. One of these barn was not long ago built at the Pennsylvania State oollego by Air. J. A Woodward, who sent to Tbe Kural New Yorker photographs, all taken on the same day, showing the different oart of the barn and how the planks COKNKB Or FLASK VRAM BABlt. were put together. The New Yorker bad engravings-made from these photo graphs two of which are here repro duced and In connection with them gives the following Information: In regard to tbe maimer of construc tion Mr. Woodward says tbat In build ing tbis kind of barn there are no "steps" in tbe work of erection. It Is ratber weaving together continuously, one plank at a time. There is no such thing as putting a bent together and athon raising it a nnder tbe old square timber system. In tbe first cut the oat- side plank of tbe oorner post may be set np In place, toe nailed at tbe bottom to tbe sill and stay lathed. Then a single plank of eaoh of the other parts In tbat end of the building niay be set up In tbe same way, and one or two of tbe nail girts (the horizontal pleoes) may be nail ed on. After tbat any half finished me chanic can see bow to proceed, one plank at a time, to the finish, stay lathing eaoh part until one or more tie planks have been pot In place to bold tbe thing togetber. It will be seen at tbe left ox the out tbat tfie several planks of tbe pott, tbe brace, and both th upper and lower tie are all interspaced, and these are nailed st eaoh and every joint or oroaslng, and thus all tbe numbers are woven togetber and tb frame grow In creasingly rigid. With each added plank tbe nails should correspondingly. In- crtsse In length. Bolt are usually no om mended, and, be believes, used, but be prefers tbe wire nsils and spike. ' In letter to tbe journal mentioned, Mr. Woodward says: "Square timber Is very bard to find and vory ooatly. Plank may bo plokod up by tbe 10,000 feet in any well oondootAl lumber yard. In stock, and st low figure. Bkilled labor is not needed in framing. Any appren tice or day laborer who can handle a aw and square and drive spikes its good band. We used spike Instead of bolls.

Though our crop have been Immense end Ibe barn it filled to it ot most capacity (It ia 98 by 108 feet In Jsc) there is no sign of strain or yield. An Ohio farmer also writes) taut November I built a barn with a frame after the plan of Mr. John L. Shawver.

O. 40, by order of Julio Cesar, the then, reigning Boman em peror, contained t l5 days. To. clear away. all the confusion which bad pre viously exieted in reconciling the lunar with tbe solar year, Csoaar, with the help of Sosigenes, an Alexandrian as tronomer, undertook a tnorougp. reform of tbe calendar." He effected it by mak ing tbe year now colled 46 B. 0., "the year of oonfualon," oousist of 446 days, and the succeeding years of 865 days, with tbe exoeption of every fourth year, which was to oousist of 808. This method is called tbe Julian calendar. Tho number of day ln the months from January to December before Cat Bar's time bed been respectively 89, 88, 81, 20, 81, 29, 81, 29, 20, 81. 20, 89. These numbers Caesar changed to 81 and 80 alternately, with tbe exoeption of February, which was to have 29 Iu ordinary years aud 80 In leap years. In honor of himself he changed to July the, name of tho month that followed June. Tbe Pontiffs In applying tbe Ju lian calendar went wrong by Inserting leap year every throe years instead of every four years, and tbis continued till the' yonrjiow called 8 13.
