A Rich Little Girl.

The richest little girl in the world is the
seven year-old daughter of Captain Geo.
Il. Perkins, of the navy, who iswell known.

her own name, the amount having been
left her recently by her grandfather, Will
liam F. Weld, of Boston. Mr.. Weld was
the father of the little girl 8 mother, and
when he died four heirs, including the
child, come into possession of the bulk Of
his fortune. $2s, 600. 600, which was divided
into four portions. The sum Of $4,000
and a valuable residence in Boston was
bequeathed to Mrs. Perkins, wife of the
Captain, and 100000 annually to be used
in caring for the little millionaire heiress
until she reaches the legal age and claims
her millions. This makes Captain Per-
kins' income in actual cash $40 1000, with
out including his government salary. or
the rental of his magnificent residence in
Boston. Secretary Chandler recently char
acterized the story that Perkins had re-
signed from the navy to look after his
estates as untrue, and said that he had
been ordered to duty On board of the
steamer Hartford. The captain applied
for one years leave, with view of resign
ing at the end of the year. The depart
ment, however, declined to grant the
request, as he had been away for two
years. The secretary said the captain was
one of the best men in the service, and
that he would not resign because he loves

Young Women at the Bat.
LUDICROUs REvEL ATIoNs OF FEMININE
INCAPACITY TO PLAY BASE BALL,

About five or six hundred men and boys
spent three long hours at Oriole Park yes
Jerday afternoon watching poor display
of ball playing, full, however, of melan-
choly amusement. Two mines, or rather
sevens, of maidens, known from the color
of their garments as the Reds and the
Blues, though their Sunday names are
Bellies of the Bat and Queens of the Dia-
mond, played at ball. After long wait
the maideDs came on the field, wearing
jaunty caps, red or blue blouses with short
skirts and long stockings to match. Then
the Reds distributed themselves oyer the
field and the game began. The pitcher
stood few yards from the plate and the
catcher; very close to 1t. The ball was
pitched in, not according to any rule,
high, low, in the air'e On the ground in
discriminatory. Then the giri at the bat
would poke at it. It was almost safer not
to hit it, for the three strikes generally
meant home run.
With the exception of catcher in red
and short-stop in blue, the girls seemed
afraid of the ball. The tripped over it,
raced it, and muffed it, but rarely caught
it. However, the Blues went out without
a run. and then the Reds got their work
in. Miss Hartman, the catcher of ths
Reds, and Miss Rich, the Blue short-stop,
very accommodatingly played on both
sides, and they really played we'll. Miss
Hartman would catch for her side. then
catch for the other side, then when her
side came In again she would take crack
at the ball, score run and then resume
business at The old stand behind the bat.
There was an umpire present, who said,
''strike, ''"ball p ''foul" at intervals, but
the girls paid more attention to the boys
on the stand.
One Rod struck out, and Hartma
stylishly threw the ball to the first base.
Some one called out "go,n and the girl
went, though the umpire had just called
her ''out.'' The first base girl missed the
bah and then there was twinkle of red
hosiery down to the second base. The ball
was thrown there, but the second base
was busy pinning up it's back hair and
missed the ball, and so the maiden pranc-
ed around the bases, making home run.
It counted. And 50 they gamboled on the
diamond until 6 o'cloek, when the umpire.
mercifully stopped the game with score Of
26 to in favor of the Reds, after four in
nings. Two or three times the ball mys-
teriously disappeared and was only found
when the maiden shook her skirt vigor-
ously. A 1o0-yard dash before the game
between Miss Hartman and a Miss Muirs
was won by the former. -Balt. San.

Why Is 1t So ?

Some find work where some fin1 rest,
And so the weary world goes on;
/ sometimes wonder what Is best;
The answer comes when life is gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake,
And so the dreary night hours go;
Some hearts beat where some hearts break,
often wonder why tits so.
Some hands fold where other hands
Are lifted bravely in the strife:
And so thro' ages and thrO' lands
Move on the two extremes of life.
Some feet halt while some feet tread,
In tireless maj CHI, a thOrny way:
Some struggle ON where some have fled.s
Some seek, where others shun the fray.
Some sleep on while others keep
The vigils Of the true and brave;
They will not rest till roses creep ~.
Around their names above the grave.

FARM AND FIREsIDE.

SINGLE COMB FOwLs.-A frosted comb
would not be very Objectionable to those
who only breed fowls for profit and
not for exhibition, says the american Aq-
riculturist, but when the combs become
frosted the hen ceases to lay until the in
jured member is completely healed. AS
the comb may be frozen several times DUR
ing the cold season the loss of time from
egg production, owing to the effect of the
temperature. would be quite an important
item. The double-comb varieties, though
exposing quite large surface to the ac-
tion of cold, have their combs closer to the
head.
NANCE IN A Doa.-Mange is common
disease in dogs. 1t is much like the itch
in mankind, and is contagious. 1t consist
of parasitic insect or plant which lives
and grows in the skin and produces vio-
lent irritation and itching. There are two
kinds, but both similar in effect. The
remedy is to wash the dog in warm water;
then apply to the skin the following ONT
ment, we'll rubbed in, viz: Ore pint of
sweet oil. a quarter of a pint of Kerosene
oil, and one teaspoonful of creosote. This
is rubbed in with brush, and cloth is
tied around the animal all over the body
except the head. The washing and anoint-
ing should be renewed every day.

REMEDY FOR Observation-Disclosures are
that suffers from this trouble constantly
it may be produced by disease of the
bowels, possibly tuberculosis, or by debili-
ty consequent. upon old age. In any case

The Denver Republican of yesterday
says: THE excursion of the Colorado
cattlemen to Cheyenne on April 9TH, for
the purpose of attending the deliberations
Of the Wyoming Stock Growers, ought to
be generally encouraged and participated
in by the stockmen of the state whose bus
mess will allow them to spend Il day or
two away from it. The invitation of the
Wyoming association was most cordial and
earnest, and as this session will be one of
unusual interest, in view of the subjects
to be discussed, the visit will be profitable
to all Colorado stock breeders and dealers.
The special train which will carry the Col
orado delegation will leave the Union
Depot at an early hour on the morning'of
April I, arriving in Cheyenne in time for
the passengers to witness the opening pro-
ceedings of the Wyoming association. The
Colorado association is making strong eff
forts to secure a large attendance of the
cattlemen of the state upon the excursion,
and kilograms and letters of invitation TO
JOIN the party have been sent To Pueblo
and various other districts, Messrs. S.
H.. Standard and l. r. Tucker have been
especially energetic in this matter, think
ing that the Colorado stockmen lack the
organization which those of Wyoming
have, and that some valuable suggestions
may be obtained from watching this ses-
sion of that association. About forty
members of the Colorado association have
already signifed their intention ofjoining
the excursion"
