DALLAS BROWNS vs.. GULF CIrYS,


DALLAS BROWNS vs.. GULF CIrYS.
The first game of the series of league
games between the Dallas Brown Stock
ings and the Gulf city club, of Calves
ton, was played yesterday afternoon at
the fair grounds, and resulted in another
victory for the Galveston bows. This
Island City team mas been taking in the
state, having played ut Houston, San
Antonio. COrsicana and Fort Worth,
with almost uninterrupted success, and
Yesterday met the rrorganized Browns
for the first tiGe.9 The Browns, as they
now stand, il was thought, would prove
too much even Tor the smuggling Gulf
Citys, but they had to go down yesler-
daV to the decisive tune of tO3.
A good CROWD was in attendance, ea-
pectatiOn high, and fr the first ii q in.
niugs beautiful game was Wit
messed, and excitement was at q teVer
pitch. The new pitcher Of the Browns,
Crothers, and the new catcher, Murphy,
did some magnificent work, ana ocn.
the Galvestons back to the field sew
eral times, without score. During
these five innings, hardly an error was
made, and at the beginning of the sixth
the score stood, Gulf City, |; Brown
Stockings, 0. Dallas ran up to in the
first half of the sixth, and their hackers
were more than confident, but when the
GalvestOns again took the bat, they
piled up six runs on errors of Lilley
the ShOrt-stop, for Dallas, and passed
ball and wild throw by the catcher
Murphy.
In the next inning, the Browns man
aged to get another run, but ii completed
their count for the evening, while theil
opponents still further emphasized theil
victory, by making two additional
runs. After the six runs in the
sixth, runs they ought no
to have been allowed to make
the contest was virtually settled
Some beautiful plays were made, severa
heavy hits and fine long catches b,
both mines, and the game generally wa
admitted to be an excellent one through
out.
The Gulf City nine is strong one
particularly in the field, and play to
gethcr like clock work. 1t will give on
boys all they can do to down them, bu
cautious playing and the absence o
such costly errors as were made yeSter
day afternoon will enable them to hol,

A woman OF Nerve.

In these days the epithet "aeryous
is frequently applied to woman, but
rarely is one spoken of as a woman Of
%nerve," Psychologists say the sex has
physically degenerated since the days
when u grandmothers did their own
work and brought up large families.
But we heard an anecdote which ex-
hibits one New England woman as inher-
ting the firm nerves Of ancestors, who
never tainted and seldom trembled.
One night, a lady living in a town
near Boston was sitting up alone for
her husband, who was expected to ar
rive by d late train. Feeling d little
mwell, she went to the closet and se-
lected a bottle which she supposed co
contain tinctnre Of rhubarb.
Pouring out a tablespoonful, she
drank it. It's peculiar taste causedher
to look again at the bottles label. It
read "Tincture Of Kconitie," and then
she remembered that q strong decoction
Of that poisonous plant had been pre-
pared for the horse.
Though knowing that her life was in
danger, she neither tainted nor screamed
for help, but went into the kitchen and
made herself a cup of very strong cof-
fee. After drinking it, she walked up
and down, Tearing to sit down lest she
might fall to sleep.
At five o'clock In the morning, d Of
the household, on coming down stairs,
found her pacing the floor, but as calm
as il walking for exercise. A physician
was sent for. He quickly came, and
said that thescoffee had saved her life.
Lest some injurious effccss might follow,
he prescribed another antidote.
Only those who have been in a similar
situation can enter into the feelings "a
that woman as she read correctly the
bottles label. But few, even Of this
class, can do no moro than admire her
strength Of viii and nerves Of steel.
The anecdote warns against the too
prevalent habit Of putting d bottle con-
tanning poison among bottles ofmedi-
cine. 1t also reminds every reader that
it is expedient to read q bottles label
before imbibing its contents.

would prefer to make good the deficien

Miller a 500 bill. He took it, babe

VIZ are accustomed to associate this
geographical position with extreme cold
(rsmarks the duke Of Argyll in the April
number of Good Words. But the rocks
of Greenland tell us that, although this
is the case now, ii was not the case in
former ages, and consequently that
there is no unnecessary connection between
an extremely low temperature and a
position near the pole. They tell us in
short, that this association is purely
temporary and accidental. 1t is strik-
ing and curious enough to find, in the
bleak headlands Of the Isle of Null, On
our wi coasts, the leaves Of an album
dant forest yegetation-tha large leaves
of the plane tree, the evergreen needles
of the texodium, Of the yew, and of the
pine, and mixed with these the frond-
like leaves of the tree called BY botan-
lists "Salisburia," which is now an in
habitant Of Japan. But the curiosity of
this contrast between the present and
the past, rs regards climatal conditions,
is nothing to the still gerater contrast
in this matter which is presented by
finding the same FOSSIL fora in the rocks
of observation-disclosures whose surfaces are
now almost wholly bare of Vegetation,
and all the higher elevations Of which
are covered with eternal ice and snow.
And yet even this contrast is not the

A Trick on a Spider.

A great many years ago a prisoner OF
state who was allowed to cheer the soli-
tude Of his dungeon by playing on his
flute, discovered after a while that every
time he played a great number of spid-
ers gathered about hin. Since then the
liking of spiders for music has been
proved. / myself had often wished to
play for q spider audience, but / was
not we'll enough acquainted with any
musical instrument to coax a tune out
of it.
Ascientiic gentleman of Europe gave
me a valuable hint by an experiment of
his own. He used at~uning-fork. Now
/ can play a tuning fork as well as any
body. / procured O tuDing-fork, and
sought out a spider. / found a hand
some, brandnew web, and though ibid
not see Mistress Epeira, / knew she
must be at home. Epeira Diadema is
her full name, though most persons call
her a garden spider. 1t is she who
makes those beautiful wheel-like webs
which festoon the rose bushes and trees.
AS / have said, Madame Spider was
net visible. ! knew, however, she must
be in her gossamer parlor, which is at
tached to her web.
Here was a good chance to try tuning
fork music. / raped the fork on q
stone, and in a moment, a soft, melod-
ious hum filled the air. / touched one
of the spokes of the web with the fork.
On the instant, Madame flew out of her
parlor in great haste, hesitated q mo-
ment at the outer edge Of The web, and
then, instead of going straight to the
tuning-fork, al to the very center OF
the web.
When there, she quickly caught hold
of each of the spSkes n after the other,
and gave it a little tug, as a boy does
his fishing-line TO see If q fish is hooked.
Each was passed by until she came to
the spoke upon which the humming
fork rested. There she stopped, and
it was easy to see she was excited.
She gave the whole web a shake; then
tugged at the spoke again. "Hum-m-
m-m" still sang the fork, rather family
now, however.
Madame was satisfied. Her mind was
made up. Down she darted and caught
the end of the fork in her arms. She
tried to bite into the hard metal, and at
the same time she spun a web of silk
around and around the two prongs,
which by this time had ceased yibrat-
ing.
/ pulled the fork away, and Madame
Epeira retired in disappointment to the
center of the web. But If she was disap-
pointed, so was /, for / was satisfied
chat it was not the music of the fork that
had attracted her. Unfortunately, ii
was altogether too probable that she
mistook the hum Of the fork for the buzz
of afy,-a sort OF music no doubt very
sweet to her.
Time after time / repeated the expert
:nent with the fork, touching in tnrn.
each spoke of the web, and each time
Madame Spider was deluded into trying
to capture the tuning-fork. It was odd
that she did not learn wisdom by re-
peated disappointment. st. Nicholas
