tionally fine. The South Portlands infeld,
and in fact the outield, played creditably. G.
Spear making difficult catch in right field.
Thayer played fine second for the Lewis
tons, literally robbing Trefethen of hit by
a miraculous pickup and accurate throw
while on the dead run. The South Portlands

eighth. Mr.. Studley, Of Portland, umpired

Inventions Patented by women.

That women CAN invent and can patent
their inventions is shown by review of
the patents issued to them. That three
women should have patented three kinds
of corsets, and four more should havo
devised four now kinds Of bustles- and
that cne should have hit upon n combined
corset and hustle, is not very astonish-
ing. The wonder is, rather, that men
should have, during the Same period,
devised five or six times rs many now
kinds of each article. 1t is not even
unexpected when one finds t'E!t one
woman has patented a new and useful
plumber's trap to prevent sewer gas from
escaping into house from ~ waslibowl.
But when it 3 found, as the fact is, that
one woman las patented Il successful hay
press, and other machine for making
barrels, the ight for which has been pur
chased bya 1reat barrel making corpora
tion, it bee mes apparent that woman's
intellect ca grasp intricate mechanical
movement and combine them for the
benefit Of tae race.-New York Sun.

To see the world, its great features, its
natural scenery, is q fine and good desire
is an enlarging and ennobling expert

crested waves on the azure Geld OF the

mountain sides, the sweep Of leagues on
leagues of prairie, the depth and depth
of forests, is all enriching to the soul, and
sometimes refreshing to the body.
But it is not in this noble rage that the
host of travellers leave the city; it is for
the sake of gayety, in order to wear new
clothes and see those Of others, to tell of
it, and because others do it. To some,
OF course, the need OF vacation is VITAL.
a week more of the same scenes, the old
places, the old faces, is destructive to the
nerves, and change Of air is Indispensable
to continued existence. or these we are
not speaking. Let them go and speed
their going; it is the necessity Of life that
iinpeis them. But the great majority OF
people. who go with no such need or
motive, would perhaps, i'll the middle Of
their gayest season at sea side, spring, or

those who consider themselves city bound
