BROUGHT HOME THE DAURELs.-
The Martinsburg Base Ball Club de-
feated the Shepherdstown Club with
ease last Saturday, by score OF % to 10.
The battery-Pitzer and Cage--played
an extraordinarily strong game, allow
ing but few hits and fewer runs. The
fielding on the Martinsburg side was
very good. viii Young and Ben Lane,
who were considered weak players, sur
prised everybody by their fine playing.
Lane made brilliant one-hand stop at
the second base, and Young pounded
the ball easily. Hollis was like stone
wall on the third ase,neyer letting one
ball pass him. Chas. Young played first
base to perfection, the regular baseman
being absent. Pitzer was hurt in the 6
inning and took left field, while Young
came behind the bat. The Shepherds
town boys are wild throwers and bad
runners. Middleton is splendid pitch
er and was backed by Beasely behind
the bat with considerable force. But
he is a growler. Mr.. Smooth plays well
on first base. We are perfectly satisf-
ed with the Martinsburg teams playing
and had the game been played on dry
ground instead of in wet field, the S.
boys would have experienced trouble to
have scored at all. The hospitality of
Shepherdstown was shown to our boys
and nice, abundant supper spread for
them at the Entler House. We hope
the game will be returned at an early
date. We feel more and more like
throwing up our hat and cheering for
the home team, every time they play.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT. "A serious ac-

took his friends twenty minutes to re
lieve him from his fearful and painful
position His right thigh was terribly
crushed and his situation is critical.
Dr. Logic, of Jefferson county, was
sent for and rendered the necessary aid.
These traction engines need watching
and a large log chain should be used in
dangerous places for coupling purposes.

A FRUITFUL RESOURCE.

How the EnterPrising Farmer Can Make
an Addition to His Receipts.
Farmers residing near or within easy
access of our better markets should not
rest contented with the ordinary farm
crops for profit. The percentage above
the cost of production is now so slight
that it becomes a necessity to make the
raising of fruit and vegetables a part
of the weekly marketing. When the
producer dispOses of his crops directly
to the consumer, the profit is almost
universally satisfactory. When largely
engaged in the business of fruit-culture,
however, and the crop is too large to
handle at an ordinary market-stall, the
commission agent becomes a necessity
and can obtain a better price for his
goods than the producer. But before
embarking in the small-fruit business
every one should make himself
thoroughly acquainted with every fea-
ture connected with it. Gathering the
crop is by no means the least impor-
tant part of the work, and if pickers
are not to be had in the vicinity in
sufficient number to collect the fruit be-
fore getting Overripe, it is useless to
plant it.
Still, there are many products of the
soil that may be made profitable when
grown in limited quantity and dis
posed of by the producer in person.
The early varieties of apples and pears
are instances of this class. When
taken comparatively fresh from the
tree and placed at once upon the stalls
of our markets, without the interven-
ton of a commission man, a much
higher price can be secured than il
sold and resOld two or three times be-
fore the consumer makes his final pur-
chase. And so it is with fresh aspar-
agus, tomatoes, green corn, lima beans
and in fact any of the leading veg
etables that may be grown cheaply and
disposed of the next day after being
taken from the plants. In the usual
average season small fruits can be
raised with a moderate profit, provided
an economical system of culture be
pursued and an intelligent mind directs
the preparation of the fruit for market.
All this can be done in a limited way
by an enterprising farmer in connec-
ton with his other crops. and will
prove a very welcome addition to his
receipts Hopes, IN n. 7.

Sensible Words Which Every Struggling
Young Man Should Ponder.
Twenty clerks in store, twenty hands

to do so. One of the clerks win become =
partner and make a fortune; one of the

became an influential citizen; one of the
apprentices will become a master builder;
one Of the villagers will get handsome
farm and live like patriarch-but which
one is the lucky individuals Lucky There
is no luck about it. The thing is almost an
certain as the rule of three.
The young fellow who viii distance his
competitors is he who will master his busi-
ness, who preserves his integrity, who lives
clearly and purely, who devotes his leisure
to the acquisition Of knowledge, who gains
friends by deserving them, and who saves
his spare money. There are some ways to

HOW TO DO THINGS.
Difference in the Methods of Discourag
and SeIf-ConfIdent Men.

Difference In the Methods of Discouraged
and SeIf-Contident Men.
n There are difficulties in the way of doing
any thing one has to do in this world; and
there is a possibility of comprising the
difficulties in the way of any thing one has
to do in this world. One man, when he is
asked to do any thing he is set to do, looks
first at the difficulties in the way of it's do
ing, and speaks of those difficulties as if
they were barriers to its accomplishment.
Another man, when he is asked to do any
thing he is set to do, looks first at the pos
sible way of doing that thing; and, if he
says any thing at all, he speaks of the way
in which he intends to do that thing.
These two classes of men are found
in every sphere of life. Men of the
first sort are both discouraged and dis
couraging persons. Even if they finally do
their work successfully, they have made
themselves, and they have made those who
are over them and those who are about
them, miserable while they were doing
what they were set to do. Men of the other
sort are CHEEKY, and are cheering workers.
If they succeed, they both please and are
pleased; and even if they fail, they fail in
such a good-natured way that they cause
less discomfort than they would if they
succeeded after the gloomy and depressing
manner of the other sort of persons. Here
il distinction which you ought to have in
mind in whatever undertaking you are
called to. If you see difficulties ahead,
don't say any thing about them Go ahead
ana do the best you can. If you succeed,
all right. If you fail, fail smilingly-and
die striving to dos. S. Times.

NIGHT CAR JACK.
The Eccentric LittIe Dog With Unao-
countabIy Strange Habits.
PHILADELPHIA TImesI


"Jackn is a fearfully dissipated little
dog. He is out with the boys every night
of his life from midnight until dawn, and
he loafs and sleeps all day. He belongs
to car No. Al, which leaves the depot of
the Chestnut and Walnut Streets Passen-
ger Railway Company every night as the
clock strikes twelve. He will acknowl-
edge no human being as his master, but
his allegiance to that old green car is I'M
swerving.
Accor ling to the driver, whose name is
also Jack, this very queer little dog first
appeared at the depot about six months
ago. He dropped in &C about supper
time, and watched with hungry eyes
the drivers and conductors as they
discussed the contents of their
tin pals. They threw him some
scraps which he quickly gobbled up, and
wagging his tail forthwith made friends
with all the men. Then he waited around
until the night car started out. or his own
free will he followed it down Chestnut
street as far as the bridge. There
he stopped and waited until it came back
again, when he accompanied it to
the depot. He went through this pro-
gramme every night for three months, all
ways stopping at the bridge. The car
makes three trips nightly. So did little
Jack. About three months he followed
the car across the bridge one night, and
keeping close to the horses he went down
Chestnut street all the way to- Front, where
the car turns down to Walnut street. He
turned down Front street, too, and went
back with No. Al to the depot He has done
this three times night ever since. When
be gets to the depot he climbs into the
car and sleeps for half an hour between
trips on the seat. While on duty he can
not be induced to enter the car, no matter
what the weather may be. He is a keen
hunter and has a wonderful scent for cats
He can run like the wind, and a cat has to
skim over the ground like a swallow to
get away from him. At the depot, how
ever, there are a number of kittens who
tumble all over Jack and plague him to
their hearts content, and he never growIs
at them.
Jack was stolen a couple of days ago,
but last night he reappeared with piece
of broken rope around his neck to show
his old friends that it wasn't his fault that
he had not been on duty. Why any one
should wish to purloin Jack is a my stery,
as he makes no pretensions to blue blood,
and his particular combination Of breeds
is never seen at dog show.

We naturally laugh at, and perhaps have
a contempt for, a person who talks about
his health and lives for the one purpose, APP
parently, Of preserving it. He gets to be
the worst kind Of a crank, bothering every
body he meets with long stories on his all
ments and methods Of medication; illus
trating, however, the Scripture saying that
he who saveth his life shall lose il, for his
excessive and unwise care defeats the end
he aims at. But caring for the health is a
duty. 1t is one, too that is too often for
gotten. At this season, when we change
from warm to cold, and when temperature
is so unsteady, we should guard against
the ills that very little carelessness may
easily send us. Energy and happiness both
leave US when disease gains an ascendancy.

Homemade Spices.

Here is something interesting, !"
said a New York grocer recently. "See
these beautiful samples of cloves and
peppers. Imported? Well, no; not
exactly. They are homemade to suit
the trade. They look good, but there
is little flavor to them. Some one
thought it was a shame to waste the
beautiful and nOurishing cocOanut
shell, and conceived the idea of heating
it and then grinding it to fine powder.
This, when artistically mixed with va
rioUs kinds of oils, makes a good
spice for pies and other good things.
1t is growing industry and well pat
ronized. Some of these powdered
shells, after being favored and made
into a stiff paste, is pressed through
mOlds into the shape of peppers and
cloves. These, when mixed with
quantity of the genuine article, give
about all the flavor that it is safe for
person to take, and the grocer does not
lose any thing, but goes on paying his
pew-rent and building rows of houses,
the same as if there were q little cream
in the cheese, a small quantity of
sugar in the glucose and a faint of but
Ter in the oleomargarine.

shrewd Russian Gamblers.

y
In a gambling house at Moscow it was
recently found that electricity had been
invoked to swindle innocent players. II
was discovered that the walls and ceilings
were covered with a certain kind of paper
on which stars were stamped, and that
among the stars on the ceiling many holes
had been bored. In the above a man lying
on the floor could see all the cards, and by
means of wires connected with the shoes
of the person who was cheating, he could
signal to him his opponents hands"

1.-THE experience of DR.. CLARK is not
strange to us. In our correspondence we
have found that many thousands of people
are suffering from what they think is Con

with the liver and kidneys proven by the
fact that when these organs are restored
to health by the use of Warmers safe cure,
the consumption disappears and so does
uremic or kidney poisoning, which causes
SO many symptoms of diseases that the hui
man system is subject to. The same may
be said of rheumatism, caused by an acid
condition of the system. We insist upon
what we always have claimed, if you re-
move the cause, the system will soon per-
feet the ac0Tk already begun. Mrs. Rev. DR..
