SALE OF THE REDS.
The brotherhood Buys the Cincinnati
Base Ball Club.

Cincinnati has struck its colors. The DEAL
which commenced in a spirit of bluff to ward
off threatened invasion of the Cincinnatis ter
ritory by the brotherhood, resulted in an end
that certainly proved surprising to half the
Cincinnati enthusiasts. 1t was like pulling
teeth to get three players in line and McPhee
was under personal contract to President Stern
for three years, but he baked and wanted a
slice of the $4,000, in the way Of additional
salary, to consent to transfer of that obliga-
ton to the brotherhood lie was offered $500
to consent but took his own time to consider.
Reilly and Mullane were also obdurato and the
morning session on Saturday was fruitless It
rained fearfuliy hard i'll the afternoon and the
last league game could not be played. That
gave the missionaries more time to read tracts
to the trio OF players. Everything seemed o.
h. and Secretary stern was signing Reilly when
the little president of the Cincinnatis ex-
claimed, "Nicht schreIbenn' The contract was
jerked from Reilly's hand and the official de-
clared: Come Oh, I'm tired of fooling. The
deal is off"
But it wasn't. Secretary Brunell met the
charges that were hurled at him by warm re-
torts. The storm of words did not last long.

Reckoning Time.

The entire world, Russia alone excepted,
began the new year with the first day of
January. In Russia New Years day is
March 25. This date was also the beginning
of the year in England and America up to
within less than lao years ago. 1t was in
1751 that the famous Lord Chesterfield So
cured the passage of bill in the English par
lament which set the beginning of the new
year for Jan. 1. Thus the legal year was
made to correspond, almost, to the solar
year.
In Continental Europe, however, Jan. /
has been New Years day for more than three
centuries In 1882 it was SO ordained by
Pope Gregory XIII, and adopted by all
Europe, except England, Sweden and Russia.
Another change, besides altering the date
of the new year, was made by Lord Chester
fields reform of 1851. Up to that time the
English calendar was eleven days behind that
of the other European countries. That is,
when it was June 1, or July 1, in England, it
was the 18th of the month in Continental
Europe; by the Lord Chesterfield change the
calendar was advanced eleven days. This
change is what brought about the transition
from "Old Style" to "New Style" Russia
still adheres, alone among the nations of the
world, to the ''Old Style" system of reckon
ing time; making them twelve days behind
the remainder of the world on the calendar.

English Houses Of Iron.

Portable houses of iron are now being
manufactured in England. They are made
of thin sheets of corrugated iron, put to-
gether like a child's puzzle, and can be taken
apart, compactly packed and removed else
where. Air spaces between the outer iron
walls and inner walls of felt and pine wood
aid in keeping the houses cool in summer and
warm in winter. This new feature in build
ing will, it is claimed, make it easy to add a
room to the ordinary brick dwelling house
where such accommodation is needed. Being
removable, it is the property of the tenant,
SO that the objection felt by most people
against building for the ultimate benefit of
ones landlord does not hold good in such a
case Stabling and coach houses can in the
same way be temporarily erected. As play
room or school room for children detached
iron building communicating with the house
by covered way would frequently prove a
boon to the brain working father of the fam
ily; and in times of illness it would be pos
sible, by this means, to isolate patient COM
petely from the other members of the fam
iv. AS these iron houses are not particularly
pretty, an English paper suggests thatching
the roof with heather and covering the walls
with trellis work.

Taking OuInino.

A permanent partial loss Of hearing power
"a not such very nfrequent consequence OF
quinine. Large doses are capable OF causing
blindness, which Is likely to last for weeks
and even months. 1t has generally been held
that this result Is the consequence OF conges-
ton of the brain and nervous system; but
lately the theory has bean advanced that,
while it congests the ears, 1t acts directly the
reverse upon the eyes, producing local pow
erty Of blood. Among the less serious effects
of quinne are an irritability of the kidneys
and associate organs. Small doses of 1t also,
in some persons, give rise to skin eruptions.
But for this quinine can scarcely be blamed;
for people sometimes have strange idiosyn-
crasies, and some of them are similarly af-
,ected by that most harmless Of fruits, the
strawberry
While quinine is an agent capable of doing
narm, it is also potent one for good in quito
a number of disturbances and diseases. 1t is
the remedy of all in chills and fever, not only
as a means of prevention, but as a cure. If
enough of the drug is taken between six and
eight hours before the time for the chill to
appear it will not be likely to occur. 1t takes
about six hours for the drug to freely act;
that is why the chill must be anticipated by
at least that period At first the popular
way of treating chils and fever was in few
large doses of quinine, but the disagreeable
effects of the drug were pretty sure to appear
in consequence. So most, If not all, physi-
clans prefer to give it in about five grain
doses every six hours commencing the same
at the time of the last chill, and continuing
until the next one is expected. But if another
chill does not occur the quinine is only given
In such doses about three times day for
about two days; then the dose is quite rapidly
lessened, until only one or two grains are
being taken, and the use of the drug in small
doses is continued for week or two, to make
sure that the disease has been entirely over
come. Boston Herald.

Bows and Easter Eggs.

There is nothing more trying to
boy than, after great care in accumu-
lating these shelly resources, to have to
place them in basket and bring them
forth to the light two weeks before
Easter. Boys, therefore, manage with
skill and dexterity. Abouf this time
of the year you see them lurking
much about the barrack and hay loft.
You see them crawling out from stacks
of straw and walking away rapidly
with their hands behind them. They
look very innocent, for have noticed
that the look of innocence in boys is
proportionate to the amount of mis-
chief with which they are stuffed.
They seem to be determined to risk
their lives on NOW poles where the
hay is thin. They come out from un-
der the stable floor in despicable
state of toilet, and cannot give any ex-
cuse for their depreciation of apparel.
Hens futter off the nest with an I'M
usual squawk, for the boys cannot
wait any longer for the slow process
of laying, and hens have no business
to stand in the way Of Easter. The
most tedious hours of my boyhood
were spent in waiting for a hen to get
off her nest. No use to scare her off, for
then she will get mad, and just as like
as not she will take the egg with her.
Indeed, think the boy is excusable
for his haste if his brother has dozen
eggs and he has only eleventh. De

Use Of Onions.

Botanically the onion belongs to the
lily family. The odor of the vegetable,
which is what makes it SO unpleasant,
is due to volatile oil, which is the
same as that in garlic, though in the
onion it is milder and naturally does
not last SO long. There are, besides,
easy ways, if one only knows them, Of
removing at once all unpleasantness
from the breath. A little parsley or a
few grains of coffee, or even swallow
or two of milk. if taken after eating,
proves an effective remedy. Boiled
onions are the least Objectionable in
regard to odor, and are as easily digest
ed as any. The oil in the onion passes
off in the water in which the vegeta-
bles are boiled, and if the kettle be
kept closely covered and the water
changed after they have boiled five
minutes, and then again ten minutes
later, there will be no odor through
the house, and the onions will be white
instead of gray as they often are. Be-
sides being rich in flesh forming ele-
ments, raw onions are especially good
in breaking up heavy cold; they are
also stimulating to fatigned persons
and are otherwise Deuencial.-New

The Taste In COlOrs.

A taste has set in for bright and delicate
colors In greens we have absinthe, the soft,
old fashioned shade, with new name; euca-
lytus green, fresh and tender; moss and pale
reseda light responsive eau de Nil, and mys-
FERROUS water greens. The gamut Of pink
runs through every shade of rose, from the
tint known as ''old pink" which is but an
other name for the ''crushed strawberry" of
a year or two ago, through the sweetness Of
the moss rose pink, eliminating in the Grim
son richness found in certain shades of chrys-
anthemums, then fading away into the yell
low tone of dead rose leaves. Grays are also
fashionable. The neutral tint helps wonder
fully to give effect to the brighter colors.
Smoke gray, oxidized silver gray, gray with
a dash Of mauve, are all favorite tones.
Brown is also rising into favor.-Philadel-

An Umbrella Holder.

A lady has come to the help of her sister
women, and has invented practical pedes-
trian umbrella holder. Most of us are trou-
bled in the course of the winter how to hold
cardcase, umbrella, muff and other impedi-
ments comfortably. This simple little inven-
ton leaves the hands free. 1t consists of a
sheath few inches deep, attached to a steel
OF nickel chain with spring hooks. The UNI
brela is dropped into the sheath, the top of
which reaches the button and elastic usually
carried round the cover, the safety chain is
then passed round the handle and hooked into
the main chain, which has chatelaine hook
to fasten to the waist. If placed sufficiently
far back it will not swing, and when its
wearer is seated it rests at her side. When
the umbrella is used, the chain is attached to
the waist as before, and the sheath will be
just the right length to slip into the pocket

Franklin is said to have set the fashion
of the subscription library by inducing
some fifty persons to establish one in 1889.
In 1880 the library he founded was still In
existence; numerous small subscription IL

or hundred volumes, were scattered in

Origin of the Picnic.

The derivation of the peculiar word pic
mic is, it appears both simple and sensible.
When picnic was being arranged for, the
custom originally was that those who in
tended to be present should supply tho
eatables and drinkables A list of these
necessaries having been drawn up, it was
passed around and each person picked out
the article of food or drink that ne or she
was willing to furnish and the name Of
the article was nicked or licked off the list.
The open air entertainment thus became
known as "pick- and-nick." The custom
is said to date from 1902, so that the picnic
is wholly an institution of the Nineteenth
century.

The Population of Iceland.

The population of Iceland has for several
years been decreasing owing to the strong
tide of emigration to America 1t is stated
in The Scottish Geographical Magazine
that the population in 1888 was 69,2A,
whereas IN the preceding year it amounted
to SO, Gal, and in 1885 to II ,613 This phe-
nomenon is most marked in the northern
and eastern parts of the island. The growth
of the population of Reykjavik, the capital.
from 3,46O in 1885 to $3.50 in 1888 shows
that the tendency of population to concen-
tration in towns prevails also in Iceland.
