NOTES.
We are sorry that our limited space
restricts US to giving only the more i'm
portant features of the schedule.
The scorer of yesterdays games fell a
victim 10 brsin fever this morning.
Funeral Sunday at $50 a. m. This
leaves but two of the 100 scorers en-
gagged at the beginning of the season;
but the enterprising manager of the De
troit team has telephoned East fol a
new supply, who are expected to ar
rive by special train before they ex-
pire, so there will be no delay in the
games.
A satisfactory arrangement has been
made with an enterprising firm of under
takers to furnish funerals hereafter at a
large discount on their regular prices,
and Manager Croftbank has purchased a
ten-acre tract in the new cemetery for
the use of those who may gloriously yield
their lives in behalf of the noble cause of
manly sports.
The true lovers of the time-honored
game will be delighted to learn that the
League rules have been so amended
that henceforth one wink at the umpire
will subject the offender to fine of
$4,000, with expulsion for the second
and death for the third offense. The
umpire is also given the power, in
his discretion, to tine player whenever
he shall deem that such player enter
tains thoughts not of the highest regard
and veneration for any of his decisions.
As the German of the dark ages said to
his son: 4" BY gracious, you links swear,
and licks you for dat"
:. We have seen a copy, yellow with
age, of q paper published in 1882, con-
tanning description of a game of ball
played then. The journal being pub
lished only once day, the reporting
editor had plenty of time to ransack the
dictionary and book of synonyms from
which he evolved an unintelligible mess
of words, that convey to us little idea of
the game. We should judge, however,
that it was played in twenty-acre
field, and that the pitcher threw the
ball, and the batsman ran a twenty-rod
foot race around a number of sand bags.
1t must have been a very tame affair, in
deed.-C IT. Woodruff, IN Detroit Post
and Tribune.

She Wanted Comedy.

Three months ago when a new serv-
ant girl came to q Brush Street family
the mistress said she desired to post the
girl in advance on one certain little point.
She and her husband belonged to an
amateur theatrical company, and in case
Jane heard any racket around the house
she must not imagine that they were
quarreling. They would simply be re-
hearsing their parts. The "playh be-
gan on the third evening of the girls
engagement. The husband taunted his
wife with extravaganza, and she said he
played poker for money, and chairs were
upset and footstools kicked around and
threats were made of going home to
mother. Next morning the mistress said
to the girl:
Ibid you hear us playing our parts in
the .Wronged Wife last night?''
"Yes'm."
"It was simply rehearsal, you know,
and you mustn't think strange of my
throwing q vase at my husband and call
ing him vile wretch"
Three or four nights after that the cur
tain went up on a play called: 1.-The
Jealous Husband" and Jane heard sobs,
sighs, protestations, threats and excla-
nations. The next play was entitled:
looming Home Tight, and was most
ly played in the front hall. Then fol-
lowed 1.-The Depths of Despair"
Threats of Divorce and =" Such a
Wretch" until Jane was at last tired of
having private box and being the only
audience. The other morning she ap-
peared in the sitting-room with her hat
on and her bundle under her arm and
said:
"Please, ma'am, but I'm going this
morning."
"What, going awayr
"Yes'm."
"For what reasonpn
"Please, ma am, but I'm tired of trag-
edy. I'm a girl as naturally likes to see
hugging and kissing and dlove-making on
the stage, and when Marks, the lawyer,
comes in on the what-do-you-call-it I'm
sure to be tickled to death. think I'll
try some family where they rehearse
comedy and have deal of kissing, and
perhaps may come in as supe. and gel

The Hedgehog's Mode OF Defense.

The hedgehog is one of the best protec-
ted of living animals Marching se-
curely under the guardianship of its
thorn-spiked armor, it recks little of any
foe save man. The formidable
array of bristling spines with which the
back is more or less covered offers a
cheUal-de-frfse of sharp spikes toward
any animal that may present itself as an
enemy. Another popularity is the power
possessed by these creatures of rolling
themselves into round ball, by placing,
the head ON the breast, drawing up the
legs, and curling the body firmly round
the members. BY this posture the hedge
hogs render themselves inyulnerable to
almost any animal that may attack them.'
When in this curious attitude,
the hedgehog cannot be unrolled by,
main force, as long as any life remains
in the body, for there is an enormously
developed muscle, with a very thick
margin, which spreads over the back
and round the sides, and which, when
CONTRACTED, holds the creature in so firm
an embrace that it will be torn in pieces
rather than yield its point"
The spines of this animal are about an
inch long, and naturally lie fiat on the
back, directed toward the tail. But by
pecuiiar ufrduSeLncub tHoy are cIectSu
when the owner coils himself. In shape
the spine is not unlike large pin,
being sharply pointed at one extremity.
and furnished at the other with round,
bead-like head. and rather abruptly bent
near the head. If the skin be removed
from the hedgehog, the quilts are seen
to be pinned, as it were, through the
skin. being retained by their round heads,
which are acted upon by the peculiar
muscle which has already been mem
toned
=. ..Protected by this defense, the hedge
hog is enabled to throw itself from con-
siderable heights, to curl itself into
ball as it descends. and to reach the
ground without suffering any harm from
its fall. A hedgehog has been seen re-
peatedly to throw itself from wall
some twelve or fourteen feet in height,
and to fall upon the hard ground without
appearing to be even inconvenienced by
its tumble. On reaching the ground, it
would unroll itself and trot off with per-
feet unconcern. III. L. Fdircttld, Ia

TIE MEANING OF AN OPAL.

See with what vivid and what varied flame
love you, glie," said my love to me.
Always so tenderly he breathes my name,
The little namc seems u caress to be.
C1asped in an endless circlet of fair gold,
An opal-less jewel than firo-
Burned with bright hues whose symbols
sweetly told
OF deathless love, Of truth and pure desire
We studied this keen opal. he and I,
"a Cheek warm on cheek, hand safe in shelter
ing hand:
Here burned the blue of fair fidelity,
There shot the gold OF wisdom and COM
mand;
Here vivid violet I'm which red and blue
Blent cunningly to tell the truth OF love;
And then all suddenly loves crimson hue
Triumphantly all colors spread above.
Next sprang to light the emeralfs fairy
sheen,
whereat looked to him; he, whisper
ingly:
''of old. Hopes sacred symbol was this green;
Profaned it means, loves tender jeal-
ousy.'
Then giowed an orange light, where red and
gold
Met in an oridammc: aud softly he
Spoke yet again: " This union, sweet, doth
hold
Sign of eternal wedlock that shall be. d.
"Fire-like, this trembling and most vivid light
Speaks deepest passion-hear you me, my
life?
Yet purely above flame reigns virgin white,
So dares this opal speak of you, my wife!'

NUMBER 4.
English Hunting.

The value of shooting properties or
''moors," as they are called, have risen
in value enormously of late years. Game
preserving in the Highlands has become
not only an amusement but a lucrative
industry, at least to the landlords. To
the unfortunate tenants and small farmer
1t has become Just the reverse. They
have literally in many districts been eaten
but of house and home by ground game,
sheep runs have been depopuiated to
make room for deer, while in not few
districts of Sutherlandshire and other
counties the human inhabitants have
been dispossessed in order that the land
might return to state of nature. The
grouse moors and deer forests are, in
deed, almost the only source of wealth
in the non-manufacturing portion of
Scotland.
An American, Mr.. Winans, owns or
rents one of the largest deer forests in
Great Britain. 1t extends from the At
lantic to the German Ocean, right across
Scotland for q distance of seventy miles,
Blackwood is another of these huge
1t was rented to the Earl of Dud-
ley for $25,000 year, and last year
was tenanted by the great brewer, Sir
Henry Allsopp. As the grouse shooting
season lasts only, some six weeks, an
idea may be formed of the immense
amount of money spent on this amuse-
ment by wealthy Englishmen. The
mere rent is only small item in COM
parison with the cost of entertaining the
large parties Of guests, who, like New
Workers, flock North as summer advan-
ces. What with guests, dogs, gillies,
rent and a host of other expenses; every
bird shot is calculated to cost at least
five dollars. Some of the 'sbags" made
are, however, enormous. On we'll
known moor in Yorkshire. Sir Frederick
Milbank shot, not long ago. 191 grouse
in twenty-eight minutes. On the same
moor, in one day, six guns killed. 2,070
grouse, while the total for the season
was 1904.
These tremendous bags came into
fashion with breech-loading guns, for
of course. it would be quite impossible
to load and fire fast enough with the
old-fashioned fowling piece. Nothing
more unlike real sport can be conceived
than a modern English battue. The
birds are, as rule, quite tame, having
been fed by hand by the keepers for
months previously. They are at the ap-.
pointed time driven in great focks over
certain spots where the sportsmen lie in
wait. Each man has two game keepers
behind him, who load his guns and hand
them to him. He simply fires as quickly
as he can pull the trigger into the m ass
of birds as they fly over and past him..
The whole thing lasts but few minutes.
The dead are then picked up, and the
same evening are sent off to London-to
the poulterers' shop. PhilGdelp phid Press.

How a Young Girl is Afflicted.

Thomas Bigley and wife, residing at
Rockport, have an adopted daughter,
ten years of age. The girl is of average
size, though slender, quite intelligent.
and presents the appearance of much
physical suffering she seems to be
cheerful and communicative. About
five wears ago she became sufferer from
bleeding at the nose and pain in the head.
About one year ago. during one of her
bleeding spells, number of small live
red ants were discovered in the flow of
blood from the nose, and at different
times some also issued from her ears
Some months ago, on one occasion, she
lost more blood than usual, and large
numberAprobably nearly or quite q
hundred.-of live ants were found in it,
after which she appeared much easier,
comparatively free from pain in the
head, and able to sleep well. At the
present time she suffers the same pain in
the head-in the temple and behind the
ears. Mrs. Bigley says that about five
years ago the child took nap in the yard
under shade tree, and her peculiar suf-
fering commenced Immediately after
wards, and this leads her to believe that
some red ants made their way in her
nose, and they have multiplied and an
noyed her ever since.-Pottscille Pd.j
