The New York Tribune has highly com
mandatory, as well as just view of the
attractions Of base ball. Long observa
ton, it says, ''of numerous popular amuse-
ments, has convinced us that scarcely any
other possesses so many excellent features
and so few that are to bc regretted. The
game is played under sanitary conditions ;
it is as free as any public competition can
be from the deflement of gambling, and it
has no other harmful accessories Except
at occasional critical or brilliant moments,
it is not even wildly exciting, but only a
refreshing stmulant. 1t has nothing to do
with unholy passions, but appeals to the
better qualities Of mankind"

The Kansas Farmers Alliance has polled
its membership of -, OOn ON the farm mort
gage question, and finds that only 1jO
owned farms clear Of encumbrance. If the
same ratio obtains with those farmers who
are not members Of the Alliance, something
like 90 per cent Of Kansas farms are under
mortgage, and corn, their staple crop, Is
not worth hauling to market The worst
of it is that there is little reason to suppose
that Kansas farmers are any worse off thar
those in several other western states

An Unappreciated Organ.

Not many months ago a number of
the ladies of the congregation of Budge's
chapel, few miles north of Mount
Pleasant, Tex, set to work by means of
church suppers to raise money enough
to buy an organ. How we'll they sue
ceeded the organ itself was there to tes-
tify ten days ago; but, however much
it improved the harmony of the song
service, it left the unity of the congrega-
ton hopelessly broken. The conserva-
tive party was small but obstinately set
against this instrument of Satan. Sun
day the congregation sang in the old
way, for in the still hours of the night
somebody had carried the organ out Of
the house and made a burnt Offering of
it, and only ashes and screws and wires
remained. .''

Growing Formulation.

Says an Auburn man: II went out
into the barn, on visit to North Pow
nal, this morning. The dawn was not
yet on the hills, in fact it never once
touched the hills, but inside the barn
everything was alive. l smiled at the
populous nature of the barn. In one
pen were five little calves-very young.
The biddy that was clucking around my
feet had three flocks Of young downy
chicks, and last but not least was the
family cat, blessed as such a cat ought
to be with roly poly family of three.
Each Of the group was under three
weeks of age. North Pownal's census
ought to be taken before that barn gets
struck by lightning Or those chicks gel
to be good broilers. journal.

The Shot Indented rurret.

The monitor Saugus has in its turret
thirty-nine dents from round shot made
at Fort Fisher. The vessel has just been
condemned by a board Of naval officers
at Washington. 1t is to be sold for old
iron. This is quite right. The Saugus
is too small and too lightly armored for
modern warfare. She did her work well
in her time, but her day is over and no
special interest attaches to the vessel.
But turret, with thirty-nine shot dents
in it, won in action, ought not to go for
old iron. The government ought to keep
it. 1t ought to be set up at Annapolis,
or, better still, made pedestal for the
statue of some naval hero. Don't give
up the turret!-Philadelphia Press.

Uncle Hoar Makes q Joke.

The old senatorial tradition that Sec
retary Hoar never appreciates or perpe-
trates a joke has been found to be a
myth. During Senator Jones' exhaustive
speech on the silver question he referred
to the fact that way in the ancient days
of the old commonwealth of Massachu-
setts sea shells were used as money.
Mr.. Hoar nodded his venerable head
in approval, and whispered to Senator
Gray: eyes, and very good money it
was, too. II a person in those days
wanted to order a dozen on the half
shell he could do so in perfect safety,
