Earth Eating in Japan.

It is rather surprising to find that
some OF the japanese are addicted to
the eating OF earth. DR.. Love has
lately pS Plished an analysis of o clay
which is eaten to a considerable ex-
tent by the Almos; it occurs in bed
several feet thick, i'll the valley of
Tsietonai (eat-oarth Valley, on the
north coast of Yesso. 1t is light gray
in color and Of fine structure. The
people mix with the clay fragments
Uf the leaf Of some plant for the aro-
matte principle it contains. They eat
the earth because they think it con-
tains some beneficial substance, not
because it is a necessity with them.
They have meat ia abundance of veg
etable food. The clay is eaten in the
form Of soup. Several pounds are
boiled with lily roots in small guam
tity of water, and afterward strained.
The Almos pronohsce the soup very
palatable.

The base ball season is about ended. and
the result of the league games about which
so much interest has been manifested, is
substantially settled in favor of Chicago.
On Saturday the Chicago and Providence
clubs stood a tie at fifty games each. with
five games for the former to play and four
for the latter. Chicago has since played
and won four of these games, giving her
fifty y-four games won, and rendering it i'm
possible for Providence to beat or tie her.
The latter has two games with Boston, but
it will make no difference whether she
wins or loses them. The pennant goes
to the Chicagos. Out of twelve
games played in the last tug for the cham
pionship Chicago has won eleven and lost
but one. OF these twelve games nine have
been played with three of the best clubs
in the league-Providence Buffalo and
Cleveland. When it is remembered that
Chicago, during the first half of the series
of league games, occupied a low place and
was winning but few games and was being
badly beaten all around, one can readily
see that the Chicago club has done some of
the best playing ever seen and pulled her
self out of bad and very discouraging
situation. 1t is understood, however, that
Providence intends to protest the game
played at Buffalo last Monday by the Chi
cago and Buffalo clubs, as it was post.
poned game, and by the rules should have
been played after the close of the regular
league series.
BOSTON, Sept 28.-The HerGld's special
from Providence says: There is much ex-
oltement in base ball circles over what ap-
pears to be an expose of an attempt to
break the compact made at the recent
meeting In Philadelphia, to the effect that
the possession of the championship pen
nant was not to be decided by the result of
games played as per schedule, but that
another series of nine games was to be
played by the Chicago and Providence
tea ms, which was to settle the question of
superiority. To-day President Winship.
of the Providence club, received mes
sage from Spaulding, representing the
Chicago association, in which he asked if
it would not be well to ignore the Phila-
delphia compact and settle the champion
ship by the present schedule, as he had
been advised the compact was illegal and
unconstitutional and not binding. Win
ship telegraphed that he should live up to
the compact and expect the other signers
to do the same. He gave Spaulding Until
O'Clock this afternoon to accept and
abide by the compact, when, if no answer
was received, he should make the matter
public. No answer was received. If the
compact is declared void, efforts will be
made to have the vote whereby the Buffalo
games were transferred to the Chicago
Diamond field rsconsidered, and SO de-
olarsd illegal.

Mr.. Swamp's Funeral.

Recently Mr.. Swamp was engaged
in digging a we'll at the back of his
house, when he became athirst and
went down town to get drink, leav-
ing his coat beside the mouth of the
we'll. While down town he took sew
eral drinks, and having assaulted O
Negro, kicked out window and COM
mitted other eXcesses, he was arrested
and sent to the island under an aSsum-
Cd name. Meanwhile his we'll caved

his family theught he was buried

tried 20 find his body, but falling in

raj and bury ssf1in in his honor
However, they didn't let it be known
that they hadn't got his body. The
day Of the funerul was the day Swamp
got cut Of Jail. On approaching his
house he saw something was going on
there, and stepped up to man and
asked him what it was. The man
took ere look at Swamp, turned pale
and fed Swamp was puzzled and
entered the house to i!iyestigate.-
When the servant saw him enter, she
gave one yell and tainted. More sur
prised, he pushed shead and met two
or three who also fled frem him in ter
ror. Afterrepeated failures TO discover
what the ma tier was he stole up behind
man, grabbed him, aud dragged
him into corner under the stairs and
sat upon him until, after the fellow

Then Swamp ran to the parlor where
tho ceremony was in progress. The
clergyman had just said: "You all
know he was q sober, peaceable and in
dustrious citizen, man against whom
no charge Of wrong doing CT disgrace
full conduct was ever raised !" Then
Swamp roared out: For heavens
cake, parson, hold on" And then.
while the people who recognized him
and thought it was his ghost began to
yell, and some piled out OF the win
dows while others tainted, he contin-
ued: ppm mucn obliged for your
