Of course the double season monstrosity

1t is rather remarkable fact, which has
not often been discussed, that very seldom
does professional baseball player attempt
to play football. Second Baseman Dowd,
of this years Washington team, is playing
on the Georgetown football team, and SO
far as know he is the only professional
OF the National league teams of 1892 who
is taking any part in the now prevailing
game. Baseball players would excel at
football if they saw fit to take it up at the
end of the baseball season. AS rule they
are physically fit, are swift runners, active
on their feet, endowed with great strength
and are quick to accept an advantage.

with very little training could defeat

Christmas in the Land of the Car.


Throughout the Ukraine, or little
Russia, Christmas is observed as great
sacred day. Weeks before Christmas
preparations for welcoming the so called
"Christman kutia" (barley grits) are go
ing on in peasants hut.
The hut is whitewashed, the floor and
polatia (bed of boards) are scrubbed, the
holy images, or ikons, on the walls are
adorned with coarse linen towels en-
broidered, and o few crosses, neatly
made of straw or hay, are nailed upon
the ceiling and wall.
A bench covered with hay is placed at
the corner under st. Nicholas image,
upon which rests the pot with the sacred
kutia.
The head Of the family, after offering
prayer and expressing few wishes be-
fore the kutia-such as that the next
summers crop may be abundant, or
that general prosperity may crown his
home--takes his seat at the head of the
table. His example is followed by the
rest of the members.
The pot with the kutia is soon placed
before them, and after few more little
formalities is devoured with great APP
petite. After this is done all dress them
selves in their best clothes and start out
70 ol,,--.rl.

Among other quaint customs still ex-
tant are those of the '.mummers" and
mummings at Christmas, all common
in Oxfordshire, England. Some wear
masks, some black their faces and others
dress Enthusiastically. They go about sing
ing:
merry Christmas and happy New Year,
Your pockets full of money and your cellars
full of beer.
But this is the convivial side. At this
time the following apparently senseless
lines are sung by the yeoman of Somer-
setshire:
Here comes J. liddle man Jan,
With my zword in my han!
If you don't all do

that Miss Duse achieved her greatest tri-
umphs.
La Duse is just now the great topic of
discussion in European theatrical circles,
not alone because Of her great ability, but
also on account of her departure from con-
ventional methods and her disregard,
amounting almost to contempt, for prece-
dent. Miss Duse is about forty years old.
She was born in Padua. Her parents were
both stage people who were never known
to fame, although her paternal progenitor
was the son Of great actor. Miss Duse
therefore inherits some of her ability. She
was remarkable even as child, and was
soon recognized as the probable successor
of Adelaide Ristori. But her reputation
was confined to Italy, and it was not I'M

A NAUTICAL NOVELTY.

Young Astor's Electrical Launch Attracts
Much Attention Among Yachtsmen.
A nautical novelty that sporting men Of
marine tendencies are talking about at
New York is the new electric launch that
Mr. John Jacob Aston, the young million
aire, uses as an accessory to his big steam
yacht Nourmahal. Mr. Astor calls his
novel craft the Corcyra. Her length over
all is 81 feet, her beam is about 6 feet, and
she will carry twenty-five passengers.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1892-12-15

The Corcyra is propelled by an electric
motor which is operated by storage bat
teries. The speed of the launch is eleven
miles per hour, and she can run seventy
miles without having her batteries replen-
ished. The propeller is operated by simply
moving lever forward or backward.
Boats run by electricity have for some
time been used on the Thames, England,
but the only boat similar to the Corcyra is
one that is to be at the Worlds fair.
