The League race to-day is in finer shap
than in any previous year at the CORES
tponding time, Buffalo alone lays hope
|lessly in the rear, but the probabilitie
point to Detroit keeping close ecompah!
with the Bisons.
Philadelphia is doing very fine work
and is looming up much more strongl!
than was expected. st. Louis was pulyer
lied pretty badly by Chicago, but th,
team had both Of It's pitchers out Of orde
and other members badly used up. Gas

New Yorks, will probably attend TO frs
base. Hugh DAILY, the phenomenal one
arm pitcher will also assist in filling the
box, 80 that the Lucas team should from
this on! play good, strong ball.
Chicago and New York are tie for frs
place, and a grand race will no doubt oc'
cur between these two and Providence
and Boston.
For the Americans, st. Louis is in the
van, followed by Cincinnati and Balti
more almost neck and neck, with the bal,
ance OF the clubs close at their heels. A
more beautiful contest than the one nov
going on has never been seen, and he Is a
wise prophet who can name the winner at
this date.

The field work OF the League clubs Is
seemingly looser this season than former
ly, judging from the error column but
readers must bear in mind that the scor-
ing rules have been changed, so far as the
Lea ,ue Is concerned, and that bases on
balls and balks are nowcounted as errors,
which makes the total appear much larger
than 1t has heretofore been.

The Height of a Tree.

ANY person. however ill-informed.
might easily get at the exact height OF
a tree when the sun shines, or during
bright moonl ght, by marking two
lines on the ground, three feet apart,
and then placing in the ground on the
ne nearest the sun, a st ok that shall
stand exactly three feet out OF the
soil. When the end of the shadow of
the stick exactly touches the furthest
line, then also the shadow of the tree
will be exactly in length the same
measurement as its height. Of course,
in such case. the sun will be at an ex-
act angle of forty-ive degrees. Meas
urements of this character could be
best effected in the summer, when the
sun is powerful, has reached to good
height in the heavens, and when the
trees are clothed with living green
so as to cast a dense shadow. 70
many to whom this idea may not
have occurred, it might be made annu-
ally matter of interest, thus on warm
summer days to take the height OF
prominent trees, and so to compare
growth from year to year.-W Woods and

INDIGESTION.
Not . Disease, But Merely the Natural
Result of Errors in Diet.

Result OF ErrOrS III Dl6Ue
Sir Henry Thompson remarks in
the Nineteenth Century: 1.-The martyr
to Indigestion may, perhaps, be sur
prised to learn that nine out of ten
persons 80 affected are probably not
the subjects of any complaint what
ever, and that the stomach at any rate
is by no means necessarily faulty in its
action-in short, that what is popularly
termed indigestion is rarely adisease in
any sense of the word, but merely the
natural result of errors in diet. For
most men it is the penalty Of confor-
mity to the eating habits of the maJorl-
tv: and want of disposition or.enter-
prise to undertake a trial OF simpler
foods than those around them consume
probably determines the continuance OF
their unhappy troubles. | have for
some years past been compelled by facts
which are constantly coming before me
to accept the conclusion that
more mischief in the form of actual dis
ease, of impaired vigor, and of short
ened Life accrues to civilized man, SO
far as | have observed in our country
and throughout Western and Central
Europe, from erroneous habits in eat
ing than from the habitual use OF alco-
hole drink, considerable as | know the
evil of that to be. | am not sure that
a similar comparison might not be
made between the respective influences
of those agencies in regard of moral
evil also"

wrapped in paper do not reach the

is more rotting of fruit when wrapped,

There is said to be a superstition

An Uncertain Oracle.
London Spectator.

None, we think, will deny to Emerson singular power of contentious speech, and singular purity and keenness oi critical insight To our mind, Emerson was rather an uncertain oracle, some of whose sayings ring forever in the mind, while others only jingle there, than either poet or philosopher. There was too much strain in him for either. He rose too much on tiptoe for the poet, and was too broken in his insights for a philoso- pher's steady continuity of thought. Emerson lived in pale, moonlit world of ideality, in which there was little that was adapted to tame the fierce passions and aPpease the agoaizing remorse oi human nature. He was a voice to the pure intellect and the more fastidious conscience of men, not a power of saliva ton for their wretchedness. But his gnomic wisdom will live long and startle many generations with its clear, high thrilling notes.
