The World’s Champion.

Mr. Edward liaulan, the great oarsman, and until his recent contest with Beach in Australia the champion of the world, may certainly be looked upon as an authority in eveiything affecting athletic sports. Before leaving Australia for this country, he wrote a letter in which he stated that he had used St. Jacobs Oil with the most beneficial results. He found it a reliable remedy for muscular pains in the arms and limbs, aDd from his personal experience took great pleasure in recommending it No stronger proof of the truth of what is claimed for St. Jacobs Oil could be furnished than this, and it will undoubtedly carry great weight with all thoughtful and intelligent people.

The Etiquette of Autograph Huntiug. Senator Evarts has[given a law of etiquette to autograph hunters. He says: If stamped and addressed envelopes and a card are inclosed it is a rule that the request shall be heeded—from patriotic motives —because it gives the Government two cents in postage. If one is obliged to go to the trouble of writing both autograph and address, to furnish envelope, card, and stamp, it is not customary for such requests to be accompanied merely by an inolosure of loose stamps. A poet of my acquaintance once told me that his autograph requests supplied him with stamps for all correspondence. Autograph seekers probably found that loose stamps were appropriated without compunction, for they have ohanged the custom. Ido not receive a great many such requests now. They come in great numbers after making an important speech.
