There's the man who lets you shake his

He's a bore.
And the man who leans against you when

Get his gore.
There is the man who has fear
That the world is, year by year,
Growing worSe-perhaps he's near
Bolt the door.
There's the fellow with comndrums
quite antique
He's bore.
And the man who asks you ''What;"
wheneer You speak,
Though you roar.
There's the man who 7Iaps your back
With a button-bulsting whack--
If you think he's on your track,
Bolt the door.
There's the punstcr with his everlasting

He's bore.

LABOR I'M POLITICS.
Second Congressional District Work
mems Convention.

The conference Of representatives
from various labor organizations in
the second congressional district Of
this State, ncld at Trades Council
Hall, this city, last Sunday evening,
was a most pleasant as well as I'M
portant one.
The election Of a secretary caused
a friendly debate; the nominees rep
resenting New Haven organizations
declining to serve in the hope that
some one Of the visiting delegates
would accept the position. On the
part of the visitors it was argued
that the secretary should reside in
New Haven, it beng the most ac-
cessible place in the district. Fin
ally vote WAS taken. and Mr.. II. II.
Lane was unanimously elected per-
manent secretary.
The question Of independent work
mems politics was discussed, and
such action taken as will tend to
unite the workers in their own in
terests to the confusion of the miscr-
able hirelings Of Capital, the wire
pulling, bribe-taking politicians.
1t was a clean conference. An at
tempt by a politician to gain admis-
sion failed, Notwithstanding the prep
arations made by him to deceive the
honest delegates to the conference.
1t was decided, without opposition,
to call u congressional convention
for this district, Us will be seen by
the call of the Secretary, sud con-
vcntion to be held at Trades Council
Hall, New Haven, August %, begin
ming at o'clock in the afternoon.
Various matters relating to poIiti-
cal organization, policy and details
were referred to a committee for AZ
rangemcnt, subject TO the vote Of
the convention. A communication
from District Assembly, 10, Knights
Of Labor, urging independent politi-
cal action throughout the State, was
referred to the same committee. with
instructions to report at the conyen-
ton on the 2Sth.
After a session lasting three hours
the conference adjourned, and the
delegates fell to congratulating each
other on the great advance in the
labor movement and the success and
good spirit Of the conference. While
a variety of recognized labor organi-
cations were represented, including
Trades Unions, Socialist Sections
and X. of l.. Assemblies, the latter
predominated in point of numbers,
and nearly all the delegates from
the others were members OF the
Order.

A French naturalist asserts that the

we believe is pretty we'll known; but he
goes on to pay US, as people, curious
compliment by saying that of all persons
sharks like Englishmen most. The same

at Marseilles was found to contain n man

of another shark there was found a whole
horse! 1t is comforting to read that the
shark is kind to its young. taking its in

that if ever it did swallow its offspring it

WEARS A NUTMEG.
How Senator German Cured Severe At
tack of Neuralgia.

How Senator German Cured a Severe At
tack of Neuralgia.
United States Senator German, of
Maryland, always wears nutmeg upon
string around his neck, the reason Of
which he thus explains:
For many years he has been a sufferer
from regular attacks of neuralgia. On
some occasions he has been confined to
his home day or two, SO intense was
the pain. An old lady friend once
called upon him while he was suffering
from one of his attacks. She displayed
SO much sympathy that she almost for
got to name the request she had to
make-but she did not Upon learn
ing that the Senator was troubled with
neuralgia, she volunteered to give him
an infallible remedy, provided he would
promise not to laugh at her or accuse
her of being a believer in conjuration,
spells, etc. The Senator, in good
natured way, informed her that he was
under treatment from an eminent ply
siaian, who sometimes afforded him
temporary relief. The old lady finally
prevailed upon the Senator to give her
remedy fair trial, whereupon she sug-
gested that he should get an ordinary
nutmeg, drill hole through it, attach
it to piece of string or ribbon and
wear it around his peck continually.
The Senator, while suffering one dav,
determined to give the nutmeg remedy
a trial. He followed the old iady's d.
rections, and in few hours felt greatly
relieved He has worn the nutmeg
since, and is seldom troubled with
neuralgia. He has consulted several
physicians on the subject, and they
state that the nutmeg possesses GER
tain virtues which may have effect on
neuralgia pains. Chicago Journal.

ELECTRIC BASEBALL,
How Audience in Detroit Viewed O
Game Played in Chicago.
Iflpctrical Review


Two years ago, nearly. three Yankee
like telegraph operators living in Nash
willie, Tenn, turned their enthusiasm for
baseball to good account. Their names
are j. u. Rust, f. w. Morgan and A. II.
Stewart, and they conceived the idea of
reproducing almost instan ~ Il vivid view
of the exact situations and PLAYS in q
game oibas ball. played in Chattanooga,
for instance, before an %Hiiemca seated in
hall in Nashville. To do IT, hay lea Sod
wire from Nashville to CAattsH w. u, one
end of which was on the ball field vita an
expert operator, who was accurately in
formed in baseball PLAYING, seated
watching the game and immediately tela =
graphing each play as it progressed. At
the Nashville end of the wire were two
other telegraphic and baseball experts.
AS they received the record from thei'
partner, one man reproduced it verbally
to the audience, while the othsr man
manipulated cards bearing the nantes of
the players, around a painted view of the
ball field placed in full view of the audi
ence.
During the recent game in Detroit, Nor
gan s. Co., the name of the ingenious
firm, presented their unique entertainm rnt
before a crowd Of six hundred persons in
the Detroit Opera house, who had come to
watch the progress Of the Detroit Chicago
match. On the stage was a huge land"
scape-it would have done well as a drop
curtain-haying we'll painted perspec-
tive of q basebalj diamond and outfeld.
At the points on the picture representing
the positions of batsman, pitcher, catcher
and basemen are openings into which NAV
be showed cards bearing the names Of
players, and into which these names are
placed as the telegraph operator seated
at his instrument reads to the audience the
progress of the game, even to the smallest
details
Next to an actual view of a game of
baseball, and indeed very close to such a
view in interest, is the witnessing OF such
presentation of game. The audience
during the first four or five innings of the
game was wrought up TO a very high pitch
of enthusiasm. For instance, when the
operator read-with Dalrymple's name APP
pearing as batsman-"Foul fly to left"
the audience fairly held its breath. and
when the next instant the operator called
out, land out to White" there came
storm of applause, just such as is heard on
a veritahle ball field. And so it was all
through the calling Of strikes, balls, long
hits and short ones, outs. errors and safes,
the excitement was intense.

WINTERING BEES,
A Method Which Has Successfully Stood
the Test of Twenty-Five Years.

A Method Which Has Successfully Stood
the Test of Twenty-Five Years.
In his early experience Mr.. Ira Bar
Der, of New York, had experienced all
the troubles that now come to so MANY
in wintering, and had tried all manners
and places that appeared reasonable,
but, as rule, he lost from thirty to
seventy-fve per cent. He has now, for
twenty-five years, been successful in
wintering his bees in warm, damp
cellar. He preferred warm atmos-
phere because it was the bees natural
element, and a damp one because the
bees were more quiet and healthier.
He took caps from the hives and with
them paved the cellar bottom, and then
set the hives upon them, packing them
closely together. If the bees became
uneasy and left the hive, they entered
some other and no harm was done.
I'm warm cellar, where the tempera-
ture is from sixty degrees to ninety
degrees, there is no discharge from the
bees unless it is in a dry state. The
cellar must be closed, with no current
of air passing through it to arouse the
bees. A three-inch pipe at the top of
the room furnished sufficient ventila-
ton for two hundred colonies. No up
ward ventilation is given the hives.
The warm atmosphere disposed of all
che moisture arising from the bees,
hence no absorbents were needed.
The bees were put in the cellar before
the advent of cold weather and not
taken out until there was something
to do in the spring. The bees were
wintered upon natural stores and ths
pollen left in.-F0a71a, Field and Stock

A PAIR or COMETS.
Two Celestial Wanderers Making
Rapid Aeadway Towards the Earth.

Two comets are bowling along towards the
earth at pretty rapid rate. They have already
been within the range OF the astronomers tel
Escapes for over three months, and within an
other month or six weeks it is probable that
they will burst upon the view Of the general
public or, in other words, become visible to the
naked eye. Prof. Frisby, of the observatory.

been making observations for some time upon
the celestial new corners. One of these comets
is known as Fabry's comet and was discovered

names OF their discoveries until they are iden-

numbers merely, as "No. 1885," "No. q.
