During its trip the st. Paul team has
played seven of its eleven scheduled
games, losing five and winning two. In
both of the latter Tuckerman was the
pitcher. The team has hit the ball
with little success and fielded eXecrably.
On the bases it has done quite as well
as its opponents. The following figures

Russian convicss and Their Chains. =

F. Russian convicts and Their Chains.
While number Of convicts wers en-
gagged in games of hazard in the corridor.
most of those in the rooms were absorbed
In another occupation. Heavy metallic
strokes rang through the prison, the fall
Ing of chains upon the floor could be heard
from time to time. but the noise disturbed
nobody, neither those who were fast
asleep IN the same rooms nor the COM
manding officer or the soldiers who slept
in the same building. The convlcts
worked on the solution of one problem.
namely, on making the chain rings en-
bracing their legs so extended as to be II
o position to take them off or push them
On over the ankles and the foot heels at
any time Thus the chains could be CAR
RED on the soldier or around the waist,
instead of around tie legs, and walking
was much easier.
OF course, the soldiers and their COM
mander knew well what the metallic
sounds meant, but they did not care TO in
terfere. Some Of the escort officers were
good natured men, and paid 40 attention
to these little tranSgreSSlCuS OF the
law; others were strict and rigid, NOT
tolerating any such Liberties on the part
Of the convicts, and as the latter had a
marvellous ability for ''sizing up" their
commanders. they marched one day with
the chains around their legs and another
With tbs chains around their waists.
Many Of the coGyicts managed % throw
off the chains even from their arms.
These being very short. give such post
ure 20 the wearer as to render his ten or
twelve hours march extremely difficult.
The contact of the iron of the chains,
moreover, occasions, In the bonas during
the intense Siberian heats or frosts, an
insupportable rheumatic pain, which after
several weeks Of walking becomes real
torture.-Michael Malkof ia Chicago

A NorcI lest in Tasting.

A novel bet was won and lost IN a Vine
street resort the other evening. A party
of gentlemen were indulging in social
glass, and finally the conversation turned
upon the quality of liquors and the ability
of certain persons to judge them by the
sense of smell and taste. One man IN the
party claimed that the best judges could
be fooled by the compounders, and, after
the argument became quite warm, made
the astounding assertion that large per-
centage Of bar patrons did not know what
they were drinking.
The debate grew hotter and hotter, and
finally the man who had advanced such
outrageous ideas offered to bet basket
of wine that he could confOund any one Of
the party so that he could not tell water
from whisky. John Hummel, the circus
man, who has had a varied experience in
the drinking line, accepted the wager, and
the preli1ninaries began. John was first
heavily biindfolded, ard then . number of
glasses, containing water. milk, whisky,
sherry, claret, Rhine wine and gin were
set out on the bar. They were handed to
the blindfolded man one Sc g time, and he
was told 70 name the liquor after tasting
it. He got through the list o,avely until
he came to the gin, which he called port
wine Then the man started him back,
but it was soon very evident that Hum
mels palate had lost its power. he called
milk water. and finally was forced to ad-
nit that all tho liquors tasted alike, and
that he had lost his bet 1t was soIrn
time before he WAS able to enjoy the wins
he had lost.-Cincinnat Enquirer.

Tho Electric KissinR PARTY.

There is large New England element
in the social economy Of Brooklyn, and it
is responsible for many innovations that
for nine days disturb the conservatism OF
the city beyond the East river One OF
the latest fads lie the electric kiss, which
originated in Boston, and was introduced
here by young lady who bad attended
an ante-Lenten party on Beacon Hill. 1t
is thus described by young lady partici-
pant:
1.-THE ladies and gentlemen range them
selves about the room. This being leap
year the lady selects partner, and to-
gether they shuttle about on the carpet
until they are charged with electricity,
the lights in the room having first been
turned low Then they kiss in the dark,
and make the sparks fly for the amuse-
ment of the onlookers. Oh, the shock is
delightful. I have never been but 20 one
electric party, but understand that after
q young lady has played the game for a
while it is impossible to give her shock.
Probably the gentleman don't shuttle his
feet hard enough on the carpet. Graciousl
I'm afraid should wear the soles off my
shoes"
The electric kissing parties are growing
rapidly in popularity, in spite of this be-
ing leap year.-New York Evening Sun.

Architecture East and West.

The Americans are the quickest people
in the world to adapt themselves to new
situations. The western people travel
much, at home and abroad and they do
not require a very long experience to know
what is in bad taste. They are as quick
as anybody believe they gave us the
phrase-to ''catch ON to quietness and d
low tone Indeed, l don't know but they
would boast that if it is a question OF sub
dued STYLE they can beat the world. The
revolution which has gone an over the
country since the exposition of 1876 in
house furnishing and decoration is quito
as apparent at the west as in the east
The west has not suffered more than
the east from eccentricities or architecture
in the past twenty years Violations of
good taste are pretty well distributed, but
of new houses the proportion Of hand
some, solid, good structures is as large in
the west as in the east, and in the cities |
think the west has the advantage in
variety 1t must be frankly said that if
the easterner is surprised at the size, cost
and palatial character Of many of their
residences, he is not less surprised By the
refinement and good taste of their in
teriors. There are cases where money is
too evident, where the splendor mas been
ordered, but there are plenty Of other
cases where individual taste is apparent,
and love of harmony and beauty. What
| am trying to say is that the east under
values the real refinement of living going
along with the admitted cost and luxury
in the west.-Charles Dudley Warner
In Harper's Magazine.

THE STOVE IN THE VILLAGE STORE.
when the twi!ight had deepened to darkness

Wien the twilight had deepeued to darkness
They gathered from far and near.
OLD farmers who plodded the distance
As pilgrims their shrines TO revere;
At the shabby old store at the. corners"
They met and they entered the door,
For the mecca Of all these old cronies
Was the stove in the old village store.
1t was guiltless of beauty or polish,
And its door was Unskiilfully hung,
But they made glad circle around it,
And the genial warmth loosened each tongue;
And they talked of the crops and the weather,
Twin subjects to gossip most dear,
Ard the smoke from their pipes, it blended
Gave a tiIge TO the whole atmosphere.
Full many the tales they related
And wcndro1S the yarns that they spun,
And doubtful the facts that they stated,
And harmless tie wit and the fun:
But if ever discussion grew heated
1t was ali without tuInult or din
And they gave their respectful attention
When q customer CHANGED to come in.
When the evening spent and the hour
For the time OF their parting had come,
They raped from their pipes the warm ashes,
And reluctantly started for home;
Agreeing TO meet on the morrow
When the day, with its labors, was DER,
For the mecca Of all the old cronies
Was the stove in the old village store.
