Game called at the end of the seventh inning on
account of rain.
FIRST ON ERRORS.
McDonough made several balks during the game
Saturday afternoon. Yet Quinn took no notice OF
them. He does it right along; and if the umpire
was to notice it few times, he would soon quit.
McDonough IS not the only ouender.
For six innings Weidel did not have over three
balls called on nim during any one inning. Not a
ball was called in the seventh, but one in the
eighth, and only two in the second and third.
If the opposing team had pitcher who wasted as
much time as does McDonough, it would be neces-
sary to commence games at O'Clock. In this re-
spect he balks more than once. Let Messrs. Quinn
and Seee remember the ruling on that case.
Weidel has splendid control of the ball, changes
his pace easily and cannot be ratified.
Portland's new men show up in good shape, and
it is evident that they are bail players.
The game which was TO have been played between
the Lawrence team and Brocktons saturday after
noon at Brockton has been postponed until to-day.

fine work after the second inning at Lewiston,

Blasdelps connection with the Haverhills has

further action is taken by the club.

GETTING EVEN.-A grocer was
one day hungrily waiting for his clerk
to return from dinner, that he, too,
might partake OF his MONDAY meal,
when a boy came into the store with a
basket in his hand and said: Il seed
boy grab up this ere basket from the
door and run, and ran after him and
made him give it up" my boy, yov
are good, honest boy,n replied the
grocer, land good boys should always
be encouraged. In box in the back
room there are eight dozen eggs; you
can take them home to your mother
and keep the basket" The grocer had
been saving up those eggs for days
and weeks to reward some one In
rewarding good boy he also got eight
dozen bad eggs carried out of the
neighborhood free of cost, and he
chuckled as he walked homeward. The
afternoon waned, night came and went,
and once more the grocer went to his
dinner. During his absence the boy
returned with the eggs and sold them
TO the clerk, thus getting even with the
grocer, and making a good profit of the
bad eggs There is profit in most
things if people win only profthy them.
There is profit for instance. in using N.
X. Fairbank & CO. S famous brands of
Lakeside and hits STAR per-
fumed soaps. They are the best in the
market, being expressly prepared for
the toilet, The bath, and the laundry.
All grocers keep them. 4Sw4

New Dial.Division for Timepfeces.


Now that the nations have adopted
the plan of a universal day." begin
ming for all the world at Greenwich
midnight and counted from zero mp to
twenty-four hours, new dial-division
for our clocks and watches has become
great desideratum. The inventor
who devises simple and perfectly
clear method of indicating to the eye
and ear the hour reached by watch and
clock, respectively, will be a public
benefactor. 1t will be manifestly I'M
satisfactory to have our clocks striking
"a O'Clock. and it seems difficult and
expensive to have our watches recon-
structed to mark twenty-four hours by
single revolution of the hour hand.
In respect to public clocks it would be
very objectional to have the dial divid-
ed into twenty-four parts, because the
time of day has often to be read off at
great distances, and even now, with
the twelye-hoar division, especially in
dim light, it is hard to decipher them.
TO have two concentric circles on a
double twelve division plan (the hour
hand thus pointing to | and 10 clock,
etc. would be equally confusing.
structed could be read instantaneously
or without tedious mental effort, and it
would be. on artistic grounds objec-
tionable.
To meet these difficulties it has been
well suggested by Mr. Hopkins, an En-
glish scientist, that the hours should be
contained in one circle, as now; but in
stead of being numbered consecutively
from to "a, they might be arranged in
Roman numerals, as at present, and if
figured alternately would be almost, if
not quite. as distinctsas on the faces of
our present style of clocks. Thus. the
hours 0 (the midnight of the worlds
initial meridian), 2, 4. 6. etc., would be
shown in figures. but the intermediate
or odd hours, as IL, ID. Is, etc., could
be distinguished by an arrow head or
circular dot. As regards striking the
hours the strokes might be confined to
twelve, as now, but the hours from
thirteen to twenty-four might be dis
tinguished BY being preceded by two
strokes in rapid succession. In lieu of
this plan for striking the hours it has
been proposed that clocks should be
made to beat the strokes in pairs-e. o..
two strokes and rest, two strokes and
a rest, followed by one stroke, TO mean
8 o'clock. The question of adapting
ordinary timepieces TO the registration
OF the universal time adopted by the
Prime Meridian Conference is, however.
SO complicated that perhaps the best
means of settling it would be to call a
conference of clock and watch makers
to discuss the subjectin all its bearings,
and to give the world the result of their
deliberations.-M Y Herald.
