THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT BLOoMsBURG COLUMBl

AT Canton, China. some 250,000
people live continually on boats, and
never step foot on shore from one
years end To another. The young
children have habit of. continually
falling overheard and thus cause a
great deal of trouble in affecting a
rescue, which in many instances is
impossible and child is drowned
China is an overpopulated country and
the Chinese have profited by this
drowning proclivity in reducing the
surplus population. They attach floats
to the male child so that they can be
fished out when they tumble into the
river. The females are without such
protection and are usually left to
drown.

Grape Juice for Sickness.

The art of cultivating the Oporto
vines and fermenting the Oporto Grape
into wine in this country, and of pre-
serving the Grape Juice fresh without
fermentation has been brought to a
greater degree of perfection by Mr..
Alfred Speer, of Passaic, N. D., than
by any other person in fact, he was
the pioneer in introducing and adver-
tising Native Wines. He has purcnas-
ed hundreds of tons of grapes. besides
his own vintage. Mr.. Speer's success
has arisen from the strict purity and
valuable properties of his wines for in
valids and feeble persons, and his repu-
tation extends around the world.

On last Friday evening the remains of
Capt. VIM. II. Irvine, who died at WeSsOn
at the house of his son-In-law, Mr. E. l..
Bowen, were brought here for interment
and followed to their-last resting place
by large possession of friends and rela-
tives. Capt. Irvine was a popular steam
boatman on the Mississippi and Ohio riv-
ers in ante bellum days, but for the last
twenty-five years had been a resident of
Brookhaven, moving to Wesson with his
son-in-law's family only short time ago.
He was q man of generous and manly i'm
pulses and greatly honered and admired
by those who new him best. He had
been sufferer from paralysis for four or
five years, and this complicated with dys-
entary, caused his death. He had reach
ed the ripe age of seventy two years, and
was ready for the last summons. Peace
to his soul.

Nature sometimes does incompletely, name

take Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the effect Of
and which does not grippe the intestines. IL
the first is selected, the person employing 1t
need not expect permanent benefit, and he
cannot hope to escape the debilitating reac-

The ladies of the south have too long been
deprived of every avenue of outdoor exercise
and recreation-save equestrianism-which is
now open to and SO frequented by the fash
ionable bellies of the north. Skating, with
its joyous exhilaration, their climate excludes
them from enjoying, but croquet and base.
ball afford them. on the one hand, n recrea-
ton In which they can actively participate,
and, on the other, a most exciting
and attractive sport which they can pa.
tronize and enjoy without the slightest fear
of encountering an Objectionable word or
action calculated to offend the most fastidi.
GUS. Henceforth the fair danes and danfsels
of the south will smile on the champions of
the ball field, US their ancestry were wont to
do upon those who, 'Cn faire steeds and in
gallant forme,n SO proudly charged with
lance in rest upon their adversaries of the
olden time tournament.
During the war the many games of base.
ball played by the northern soldiers ON the
camp fields and on some of the prison
grounds, led to the introduction of the game
among the southern soldiers, and when the
cruel war was over" the game was cener
ally adopted throughout the south, the stu.
dents OF the University of Virginia being
among the advance guard of the southern
army Of the fraternity; and as whatever old
Virginia takes the lead in her sisters of the
south generally follow, the game has now
assumed a popularity from Richmond 10

hut little difference. The Blue Rock, tho
Red CLAY. the Standard, the Peoria Black
bird, and the Lark, and the Acme are the
different makes of artificial flights. The
Acme is higher priced that any other, as it is
filled with feathers on the under side, and
when hit the feathers fly as from a live bird.
Trap shooting is gaining in popularity all
over the country. 1t is a cleaner and less
arduous sport than cover shooting. and If,
as is generally the case with shooters, the
chief aim is to make big scores, they can
achieve notoriety in that respect Just as well
at the trap, with inanimate targets to shoot
at, as in the field. -AHy-one-who is well
enough to walk abroad and carry a gun may
obtain fair proficiency as wing shots by join
ing a club and attending the shoo;s.
The cost of a day at the traps is no trifling
item; that is, if a man is an ardent lover of
shooting. 1t is no thing for en-
individual to use 800 or 400 shells, to say
nothing of the live or clay birds he has to
settle for. The shells will average at least
8 cents a piece; the live birds 10 cents, and
the artificial flights something like l Gem.
But this does not discourage lovers of gun
practice. AS one old timer remarked:
TRAP shooting costs something, but moth
ing like field sport, where you tramp all day
and gets few birds, every one of which costs
from 81 to So a piece. In trap shooting you
pay for what you get, and you can calculate
something on what a days sport will stand
you in, but when you go hunting it's differ
emit You can never calculate how many
birds you will see or what your expenses
will be. Besides, game is. getting so scarce
that it us a scratch when you do get a Good

TO Boston last season by the clubs
agent in that section, and as high as
5000 was offered for him and refused.
This year other clubs, among them Detroit,
made a bid for his services, but Boston had
it distinctly understood that, in the event of
the release of Quinn, they would bid as high
as any one for him. The Des Moines people
refused to listen to any overtures, and
would not think of allowing Quinn to
go until they were compelled to do
so through financial reasons. The price
of his release has not been made
public, but it is well known that it was not
less than $4,000. The Boston management is
