PROVIDENCE 20, PORTLAND j.
The famous Providence Club played the Port
lands an exhibition game yesterday, which was
witnessed by some 800 people. The famous pitcher
and catcher of the Providences, Radbourne and
Gilligan, did Dot come with the team, and If they
had come they could have done better than did
Miller, Nava and Bassett. The Providence club

Portlands were weakened in the same old way as
usual, the men being changed all around nearly.
The changes had to be made, however as Chatter
ton wrenched his ankle so severely In Saturdays
game as to be unable to play. At twenty minutes of
O'Clock the Providehces took the bat and Hines
found Brill for three bases, Farrell went out at
hrst, Carroll hit to right field on the fly and was
out, and Hines scored Denny got in a two-bagger
Radford took his base on six balls and Bassett
went out on fly TO centre field. The Portlands went

nings, but In the fifth with two hands out Gala

the next strike he let himself out and the ball
went flying over the left field fence, giving him
home run. The crowd were greatly pleased, and
greeted Callahan with much applause. The Port

the seventh inning Abbott got in two Dagger, got

printers Circular.)

Far away beyond the plains of Mesopota-
mia, on the banks Of the river TigrIs, lie the
ruins of the ancient city OF Nineveh. Not
long since huge mounds of earth and stone
marked the place where the palaces and
walls of the proud capital of the great As
syrian empire stood. The spade, first Of the
Frenchman, then of the Englishman, has
cleared all the earth away and laid bare all
that remains Of the old streets and palaces
where the princes of Assyria walked and
lived. The gods they worshiped and the
books they read have all been revealed to
the sight of wondering world. The most
curious of all the curious things preserved
in this wonderful manner are the clay books
of Nineveh. The chief library of Nineveh
was contained in the palace Of Konyunjik.
The clay books which il contains are COM
posed of sets of tablets covered with very
small writing. The tablets are oblong In
shape, and when several of them are used
for one book, the first line of the tablet fol-
lowing was written at the end of the one
preceding it. The writing on the tablets
was, of course, done when the clay was soft,
and then it was baked to harden it. Then
each tablet, or book, was numbered, and as
signed place in the library, with eorre-
spending number, so that the librarian
could easily find it, just as our own lbrari-
ans of to-day number the books we read.
Among these books are to be found collec-
tons of the hymns Ito the gods), deserip-
lions of animals and birds, stones and vege-
tables, as well as history, travels, etc. The
Assyrians and Babylonians wee great stu
dents of astronomy. The method of telling
time by the sun and of marking it by an in
strument called sun dial was invented By
the latter nation. None of our modern
clocks and watches can be compared to the
sun dial for accuracy. Indeed, we have to
regulate our modern inventions by the an
cient Babylonian system.

cure any more goals, the Old Orchards taking the
