The "Condons" have received nothing
definite in regard to the game with the
Rogersville club, but it is more than proba-
bic that it will be played next week.

the welfare of the Z" Condons," of this city,

The Density of the Earth.

Efforts have been made, at all times
in which the spirit of investigation
can be said to have existed, to ascer-

lates that he and Sir Humphrey Davy
were several times invited by Captain
Symmes to join an expedition into the
interior of the earth, which was rep
resented as hollow sphere, having a
large opening at the eighty-second
parallel of north latitude. The idea of
the existence of a hollow space within
the earth was set at rest by the
measurement of the average density of
the planet, and the contrary view was
advanced that the globe is a mass of
great specific gravity. The con-
stituency of this mass, whether it is
fluid or solid, with only local bubble

not been determined; but the calcula-
tons that have been made contra

Several methods have been adopted
for ascertaining the mean density of

accurate method has been added with
in a few years. An account of the
methods hitherto adopted, and the
results obtained by them is here given.

Am unwelcome Presence.

a report comes from physicians in
Baltimore that a case of genuine lep-
rosy has been brought to attention there.
The patient is a lady, the mother of
several children, and her case has ex-
cited considerable attention among the
physicians of that city. She was born
in Baltimore, whore she lived until her
10th year, when she removed to the
eastern shore. The only reason assigned
for the aflliction of this lady is that
she resided near another leper, and it
is supposed by this means contracted
the malady. II is generally believed
that leprosy is contagious, a belief
which in this instance seems to be at.
tested, as the woman has never in her
life crossed the border OF the state of
Maryland, thus making it impossible
for her to contract the disease by breath
ing air which was previously contain
mated by the presence of lepers. The
patient has now about the face leonine

lion, caused by globulss growing over

One Girl Whose Education Includes
Cooking.
An exchange has this: She was a
graduate of Vassar and when she
married julius Augustus Smythe, was
very much like another young lady
who
didn't know chicken from turkey
However, she told julius Augustus
that she was a good housekeeper, be
cause her mother and grandmother
were, and it ran in the family. So on
the strength of this he went to house
keeping. She bought a sweet little
morocco-covered note book and an en-
brOidered market basket and carried a
gold pencil, wore an aesthetic morning
costume, and appeared like vision of
delight before the magnates of the
cleaver at the Central Market.
"Oh, the dear. sweet, cunning little
pigs@ she exclaimed, stopping ut a
stand where several little roasters
were on exhibition. "I'll take a couple
OF those; how much are they a pair %
Five dollars for two" was the
realistic answer.
isn't that rather high? 1 guess
III take yard of beefsteak and a
pound of chewing-gum instead, and
some-oh, yes, some sweetbreads,
julius said he wanted some; nice fresh
ones, please, with plenty of raisins in
them"
Then she sailed over to a poultry
stall.
Have you any chickings?" she
asked of the woman in attendance.
"Heaps OF EN-" was the reply.
'1ow much do they cost heap ?"
she asked, in rather faint voice.
Half dollar apiece, men,"
"Well, send up piece to my resi-
dence,' and she turned to the next
stall and picked up some little pack
ages that looked very nice. "What is
this sweet stuff that smells so lovely 2"
she asked of ared-headed boy behind
the door.
'Limburger, miss, and it's just splen-
did; tastes ever so much better than 1t
smells-have one%
She took one, and then asked the
boy where they sold their quail on
toast.
"Ain't one in the market" answered
the young reprobate. Mothers gone
after a load, though, and well send you
some as soon as they're in"
"What are those lovely navy blue
berriesY she inquired. They'll Just
match my china. You may send me
bushel."
Finally she decided to try a quart
which she carried herself in the artistic
basket.
Then she ordered some eggs, as she
wanted to make an omelet for Julius
Augustus.
But she never did, or rather wher
she got home the omelet was made
with a liberal admixture of blue Der
ries, and the front of her aesthetic dress
was ruined. Added to this was an
odor that sent Julius into spasms and
frightened the cat to death. The lin
burger had melted.
The Vassar girl did justice to high
Spanish and Greek in the explanation
that ensued, and the next day they
burned the morocco notebook and went
to boarding.

Raising a Boy.

The NIiddletown (Del.) TRANSCRIPT
says: An old and valued subscriber
writes thus: "Can you give me di-
rectiOns how to raise boyY Now
you seem to have us, but we are en-
tiIely willing to tell you everything
about raising a boy that we know. In
the first place, it depends great deal
upon how late the boy you want to
raise was out the night before. 1t has
been the experience of men and women
in all ages and in all walks of life, that
boys are difficult TO raise-before an
hour after sun up. If they retired
late the task is all the more discour.
aging. Men who have been eminent
ly successful at other undertakings,
after trying every artifce, from a din
ner horn to a club, have given up in
despair, and freely acknowledge that a
boy is a mighty hard thing to raise.
We have seen strong, able-bodied
fathers stand at the bottom of the
stairs and send a volume of dire threats
up the echoing hallway, but in most
cases the boy remained unraised. We
have heard the mellow, gentle voice of
the fond mother float out on the morn
ing air, like the flood of melody from
an Z fiat fish horn, predicting that the
breakfast table would be cleared
away" in five minutes by the town
clock; and yet the boy was not raised
1t is a fact thet remains undisputed by
the careful thinkers of the day that
the boy is one Of the most difficult pro-
ducts to raise-in the morning-that
mankind is called upon to experiment
with. You might raise your boy with
nitro-glycerine, but, while such rad
ical measure would doubtless be emf
nently successful, so far as the boy
was concerned, the fact of having
raised the boy would hardly compen-
safe you for the time that would be
required to put things again in order
about your premises.
