a DRAWN GAME.
The Cricket Match Won Virtually by the
PncIfic CIuh.

The Cricket Match Won virtually by the
Pacific Club.
The cricket match on Saturday was a
drawn game, though virtual victory for
the Pacific Cricket Club of San Francisco,
which was pitted against team Of ALI
Corners captaned by j. Robertson, an Aus
tralian player, who rallied about him as
nucleus the available players from the
Alameda and Berkeley clubs The Pacltcs
winning the toss, elected to bat on fairly
good "cocoa-mattng cricket, Ward and
Goewey facing the bowling of Newton and
Robertson.
The trundling was good and wiekets fell
rapidly to a slow score until Wese and
Purdy made a stand and forced a change of
bowling. Warren relieved the captain and
Dodd went on at the pavilion end. With
the score at 40, Purdy drove a tempting one
into Hoods ready hands, and Weise soon
after sGccumbed after playing good cricket.
D. Keith filled the vacancy, and gave as
pretty an exhibition Of careful defense and
safe hitting as has been seen on local
grounds, being finally run out by poor judg-
ment of his partner. Adams quickly ran up
double figures, and the remainder of the
side was soon disposed of. Shepard effect
ually limited the Dyes by clever long-Stop-
ping.
Hill and Purdy opened the bowling for
the F. c. c., with the first two cricketers
caught off the latter bowler. Hood and
Webster made the stand of the innings, caus
ing rapid changes of bowling. The old Mer-
ion trundler kept down the runs at his end,
but scored no wickets. Finally, Hanson, a
new player, who has puZZilng Ieft-hand
delivery, caused rapid fall Of the All-Com-
ers, in lily tips toward the slips, when with
fourteen runs to the good, time was called,
leaving the match drawn in favor of the
Pacific c. c. The fielding in this inning
was fairly good, Keith at point, Buck
Teton at long-stop, Waterworth at long-on
and Purdy at cover stopping well, while
Hill in the slips took nearly everything that
came that way. The score is appended:

This disease-rachitis is the medical
TERMS known in Europe 10y names which
indicate that it is there looked on as spe-
cially English, at least in its prevalence.
Says an English authority: Without
doubt it is the most common, the most i'm
pOrtant, and in its effects the most fatal of
all the diseases which exclusively affect
children" 1t is now hardly, if at all, less
common on the continent than in Eng
land.
In America it was formerly either very
rare or greatly overlooked. Two distin-
guished medical experts affirm it to be
now common here. The change is proba-
bly, due to the fact that the immense in.
crease in our foreign population, the null.
duplication and growth of our cities, the
vast increase Of wealth, with its luxurious
habits on the one hand, and of poverty
with its poor food and bad surroundings
on the other, have brought us much nearer

Whore Colcridge Lies Buried.

That our transatlantic kiusmen form a
majority of the visitors to StratfOrd-On-
Avon, to the birthplace and mausOleum of
Burns, and other literary shrinGs in the old
country, is circumstance which should
be recorded to their praise. Americans, it
appears are almost the only persons who
think it worth while to visit, in still semi
rural Highgate, the last resting place of
Samuel Taylor Coleridge. y more dismal
spot than that which contains the dust of
the poet can hardly be imagined.
Situated in the center of the crypt of the
chapel of Highgate grammar school, which
is entered by open archways from two sides
of the building, the unsightly proportion
of the tomb is conspicuous amid its lugu-
brious surroundings. On the fiat surface
of the massive stone is engraved the name
"Coleridge,' while Immediately above the
entrance to the vault list of the family
interments is inscribed. Alongside the
poets grave a temporary lodgment has
been formed for number of disused school
desks, upon which, from their antique
and rick@ty appearance, school boy prede-
cessors of the poet may have practiced the
engraver's art.-Pall Mall Gazette.

81 find some errors prevalent here in
New Gorh," an Englishman observed,
"about the cost of railway travelling in
England. 1t is erroneous, for example, to
say that the third class carriages, which
carry passengers at the rate of penny
mile, according to law, are lacking in any
desirable comfort or convenience. The
fact is that they are satisfactory in every
way, and are kept in excellent condition
by careful servants. They are used by the
vast majority of our travellers and by the
most respectable people of all classes and
both sexes. You can see in them, in every
train, business men and fashionable ladies,
as well as mechanics and others. When
travelled with my family over Great Brit
ain we always took third class fare, and we
never had reason to regret it. The law re-
quires that every passenger shall be pro-
vided with a seat and both this law and
the penny a mile law are enforced. There
is a saying in Europe that only Americans
and fools ride in the first class carriages"

THE Moon WEATHER PROBLEM
From tables made by the use of SYM

has accomplished what other inves-
tigators have sought to do without
success-shown an influence of the
moon on the weather. The height of
the barometer, in months of Septem-
Der to January, is lowered at the time
of full moon and raised during the
first quarter. No effect can be traced
for other months.
