No Money in Base Ball.

"There is no money in base bali
nowadays" said j. E. Allen. one of
the Directors Of the Providence Club.
at the recent base ball meeting in this
city. 1.-THE time was when q man who
put his money into a club was quite
sure OF coming out more or less ahead,
but that is past. When the National
League had control of all the best
players in the country a few years ago,
and had no opposition, salaries were
low, and a player who received $1,5o0
for his seasons work did we'll. In
1881, when the American Association
was organized in opposition to the
League, the players salaries at once
began to 60 up, as each side tried to
outbid the other. When the two or
CARNATIONS formed what is known as
the National Agreement the clubs re-
tanned their players at the same sala-
ries.
Several other associations were then
organized in different parts of the
country and were admitted under the
protection Of the national agreement.
This served to make good players, es-
pecially pitchers, scarce and forced
salaries upAstill higher, until at the
present time a first-class pitcher will
not look at a manager for less than
s $500 for q season. Radbourne, of last
years Providence Club, received the
largest amount of money that has ever
been paid to a ball player. His won
derful pitching, which won the cham
pionship for the club, cost about $5, 900,
as he did the work of two pitchers and
received the pay of two.
"Some of the salaries which base
ball players will get next season are:
O'Rourke, Gerhardt, Deasley, Ewing
and Ward of the New York Club, 49,
900 each. Mullane was to have PLAYED
with the Cincinnati Club for 81, 900.
Dunlap has a contract with the new
League Club of st. Louis for $3.40O.
These are only a few of the higher
prices paid, while the number of men
who get from 49, 900 to SO, 900 is large.
AT these prices a club with a team
costing only from $4,000 to $4,000
is lucky, bat it has not much chance
of winning the championship. To this
expense must be added the ground
rent. the salaries of gate keepers. and
the travelling expenses, which will be
about as much ore
"As a h~igh-priced club, the New
York Club leads, while the Metropoli-
tans are nearly as expensive. The in-
come of these two clubs last year was
nearly $500 900, yet the Metrcpolitans
lost money, and the New York Club
was only a little ahead. The first year
the Metropolitans were in the field
their salary list was light, as were
their travelling expenses, and at the
end of the season they were over $780,
600 ahead.--New York Sun.

Farming Items.

According to conservative estimates
we have a total of 5000, 900 colonies of
bees, which annually yield 100, 600, 900
pounds Of honey.
Give all the animals a little grain
each day, be it ever so little. 1t will
keep them in good spirits.
1t has been discovered recently by
medical men thai "lnmp jaw" as it is
called, or Jumps found on the jaws of
cattle, are sometimes caused by decay
ed teeth. 1t is not known how much
the poor brutes suffer from the tooth
ache.
The Cincinnati Christmas trade had
o mammoth full cream cheese 3 feet
high, 81 inches diameter, IA feet circum-
ference, weight 1853 pounds. 1t was
made at a Central New-York factory
from two days milk of l 200 cows, cured
in forty-four days. and is said to have
"excelled the finest Holland" in rich
ness and flavor.
The Jersey Bulletin says that a real
test is not in the possibility of a COW
making forty pounds of butter q week,
but in the ability Of a COW to make the
most butter on a relative amount Of
food; for instance, a COW that receives
100 pounds of food should be compared
with one that eats q less quantity.
Economy should govern all dairving,
farming manufacturing and other bust
ness operations. Such a method Of
testing would doubtless change that
now in use with advantage to Jersey
cattle.
Excessive fairness is really a disease.
Fatty degeneration of the tissues is very
frequently n cause of death. AS the fat,
the butter of milk, consists of fatty
degeneration of the glandular substance
OF the udder, may it not be that this
excessive action oil the milk glands,
stimulated by excessive feeding, is
really q desease, and explains the fact
that one after another all these COWS
die off in their early age, the victims of
this disorder? 1t may be worth inves-
tigation and thought which might place
this matter in its true light.

A Preacher in Court.

In the early days of primitive
Methodism, under the labors of one Of
our veteran missionaries, a VIGOROUSLY
bad character got converted. Quite
in harmony with the custom of those
times, he soon began preaching. On
one occasion he had a large crowd of
people gathered by the wayside, and
to these he preached ~furiously. An
o%fficious policeman came up and took
our friend into custody. The news
spread like wildtire that old Tom was
locked up for preaching. Had it been
said that it vas for p%oaching no one
would have doubted it, but his preach
ing gave quite a different character to
the affair. On the following morning
the court was crowded to hear the
trial. The charge vas read over, and
the prisoner asked what he had to say
in reply. Now this man had been in
that dock SO often that he did not feel
at all concerned; he seemed quite at
home. Very quietly folding his arms,
ne addressed the magistrate to the
following effect:
"Gentlemen, do you mean bus
i%nessP"
Business! business! of course we
do"
well, gentlemen, please excuse me;
but II you mean business, allow me to
say that of late a great change has
come over me, and l never now COM
mence any business without first pray
ing about it'll you please, we'll pray"
He did not wait to know whether
they pleased or not, but with all the
fervor of a new convert poured out his
soul in prayer. All in the court and
on the magistrates bench were deeply
moved, and some to tears. But he
prayed rather long, and, good as it
was, they thought he might now close;
so the presiding magistrate said in an
undertone: .-s
"That will do; just stop him."
The officer, shaking our friends
sleeve, said, "Stop;' but he prayed
away. Pulling his sleeve yet more
vigorously, he said, "Stop man, stop!"
but he prayed with increasing fervor.
One OF the magistrates saw one of
preachers in the body of the court,
and calling to him said, ''Mr. -, you
come and stop him." But our dear
old brother enjoyed this novel prayer
meeting too much to be induced to
stop it; SO he replied loud enough for
all to hear:
May, nay, you've started him; I
can't stop him."
However, our friend in the dock
drew his devotions to a close, stood
upon his feet, and, again folding his
arms, said with becoming meekness:
CHOW, gentlemen, if you please, u
am quite ready for business"
The prisoner was ordered into the
ante-room while the case was consid-
cred.
One Of The magistrates, moved to
tears, said:
1--WE have often had this man before
us, but never under such circumstances.
If this is a sample of the work achiev-
ed by the labors of the Primitive
Me%thodists, I wish them success wher-
ever they 60"
SIT did not take them long to de-
eide that he had broken no law, and
therefore they would very gladly acquit
him.
well, gentlemen" said an officer
of the court, ':shall we call him in and
say he is acquitted"
WHAT what! call him in! No,
never, or you'll have him on his knees
returning thanks. Let him go out at
a side-door, but tell him he is fully at
liberty to carry on his good work.

One, with peck measure in band snont

One, with peck measure in hand, spent
an hour in cornering one horse and
taking him to the + On, when he went
back to chase the other. His neighbor
went to the gate. whistled loudly, and
his horses came scampering toward him
and III a friendly way began nosing
around him. A lump of sugar rewarded
their search, and taking them by the
forelocks the owner led them home
with ease. The little bit of sugar was
the secret in the n case; n cuff and u
club were that in the other. There are
men who waste a large portion of their
time in chasing horses, cows-and ever
the chickens when the housewife needs
one-and in trying to overcome by mis-
taken and injurious discipline the diff
culties in controlling their animals
which are produced by their own mis-
management.
Docility is worth ut least $40 a year
for every head Of stock kept on an or
binary farm in the saving of time and
labor in the use OF it. An animal is
made docile by kind training when it is
young. Colts should be trained from
the first to love their owner; calves
need patience and kindness when they
act stupidity, as is their way, but
their stupidity is soon got over, and
they will follow their owner and come
when called by name, if treated kindly.
A flock of poultry is trained in this way
by hand-feeding the chicks, and when
n needs to handle his fowls it is easy
to pick them up out of the crowd as it

a grain of corr out of his hand. If you
go to a New-England- fair and sec the
trained calves and steers and ask the
boy who leads them how they learned
their lessons, he will tell you it was all
done by kindness, and not by the whip;
but if one has q vicious horse or a kick
ing COW yon may be sure the whip had
all to do with it.-A Stockman.

Don't be in a Hurry to Get msrr,.a.

Girls. don't be in a hurry to get mar
ried. If you are but sixteen, don't al
low such an idea to get into your head
for at least four years. Don't even run
the risk OF it by permitting any young
man to get SO far as the proposing point.
Fight them off, and make them wait or
go to somebody who is ready. Don't
live under the impression thatyou must
accept the first love-sick youth
who proposes. Be patient, deliberate
and sagacious. There is a world
of happiness for you between six
teen and twenty. The world would
be a dreary old world il it

"A scientific Frenchman says he has
discovered a process for making artif-
cial brains," said Mrs. Wigglesworth,
looking up from the paper she was
reading. Artificial brains!" shifted
Mr.. Wigglesworth, sc~ornfully; that's
Just like those nonsensical Frenchmen,
always fooling away their time making
something artificial. What I want is
real brains-none of your make believe
nonsense" Mrs. Wigglesworth, as she
resumed her paper, demurely murmur-
ed that she had noticed it, too, but she
never should have dared to speak of il
herself. And Mr.. Wigglesworth rub
bed his head in a dazed sort OF fashion,
and wondered if he really had express.
ed himself just as he meant to.
