EASTERN LEAGUE AFFAIRS.

EASEEKN LEAGH AFFAIASs New Haven Anxious to Strengthen,
 Hut the Players Committee Says
 No-Items of Interest About the
 Game.
 A meeting of the Eastern league was held in Syracuse last evening for the pur- pose of Investigating the salary limits of the Providence, Albany and New Haven teams. No one was present at the meet ing in the interest of either the Providence or New Haven teams. The local team is $200 below the salary limit, which amount the directors are endeavoring to spend for the purpose of securing good players, and are willing to do so if they can secure suit able players. But right here comes the rub. The committee on players asserts that New Haven is sufficiently strong, and in consequence will not assign any new players to this city. The local manage ment is very much insenced over the mat ter, and says that the reason for not send ing a representative to the meeting is that New Haven would not be able to secure justice in the matter in any event. This is evidenced by the fact that after Manager Shannon looks around and secures a valu- able player the players committee will not allow him to play here, as for example the case Of "Dick" Johnston.
 As far as Providence is concerned Man ager Burnham acknowledges that the sal ary list of his team is s3s over the limit. If this is proven true and the rules of the league are enforced it will cost the Provi- dence team $500, which will be deducted from the $1, 900 guarantee which they have deposited to finish the season. Manager Franklin of the Buffalo club is very angry at the players committee, and states that he will sign players regardless of the committee if they do not treat him right. He says that his team is s2OO un. der the slimit, :: and he intends to have @ winning team. The club is not time, but will more than do so if win ming team can be secured for that city, and he proposes to secure one irrespective o1 | the committee. At present it looks as | though the committee on players will not be allowed to do exactly as they please very much longer.

 The Worlds museum on Chapel street in the old library building, which has been for the past several months conducted by R. s. Huzza Major Littlefnger), was closed yesterday on an attachment for $150 for wages brought by Frank Woodin, the act ing manager of the house.

The stock ings and shoes should match to @ nicety. If you see a woman suddenly dive into the depths of her satin shopping bag and bring out one shoe, don't think she's crazy. She's only trying to match her tan and grey suede shoe with silk hose the same shade. Whether of suede, patent leather, cloth, kid or satin, the tope of all dressy clippers and shoes run out to de- cidedly sharp point. It is 6 mystery how the woman of to-day disposes of the five toes given her at birth. in the narrow space fashion allows in stylish footwear for full dress.
 Low cut shoes or sandals of black un- dressed kid simply wrought with jet heads are the prettiest to wear with tea gowns and elaborate home toilets, though the Queen Annie shoe, with its long instep- flap and gay buckle, is stylish and has many admirers.

Indian Temples Chiseled From Stone.


Mayalipuram, India, is graced with
seven of the most remarkable temples in
the world, each of these unique places
of worship having been fashioned from
solid granite bowlders. Some idea of
their size may be CLEANED from the fact
that the smallest of the seven is twenty
four feet high. seventeen feet long and
twelve leet wide, and is divided into
upT er and lower stories.
The "Hevasa-Goda, C!a," the largest
of the seven, is three and half stories
high. its outlines resembling those OF On
Atlantic steamship. The inside of the
boulder has been chiseled away until the
walls do not exceed eight inches in
thickness. The two floors above that of
the foundation are each about foot in
thickness, and seem as solid as the rock
of ages. The upper stories are reached
by a spiral stairway carved from the
same piece of granite.
The second largest of these single
stone temples has portico eleven feet
wide and seventeen feet long, orna-
| mented with four COUGHING lions and
! two elephants, all carved from the same
boulder which goes to make up the
main building g.-Scienti6c American.

early introduced, and peculiar wooden
pipe bowls without much stem, similar
in form to the German pipes, were used.
For lights at night they used the nuts
of the kukul tree. These were baked in
an oven and shelled, the kernels were
strung on a split of bamboo or thin
stem from the midrib of cocoanut leaf,
forming torch-like candle. Beginning
at the top, each nut would burn about
four minutes, when the one below was
lighted and the burned out one was
broken off. They also had shallow NOR
tars of stone for crushing kukul nuts
and fishing bait, and these mortars were
often used es stone lamps, with wicks of
tapa cloth, the oil being either fish oil
or nut oil.

Cruelty of Monkeys.

, Monkeys, with some notable excep.
tions, are some degrees worse than saw
age men in their treatment of the sick,
according to correspondent.
On the new Jumna Canal, at Delhi,
India, monkeys swarm among the trees
upon the banks, and treat their SICK
comrades in true monkey fashion. The
colony by the canal being overcrowded,
and as consequence unhealthy, did and
probably does still suffer from various
unpleasant diseases. When one monkey
is so obviously i'll as to offend the feel
ings of the rest few of the larger mon

opportunity, knock it into the canal.

gains the trees, and either drowned or

The Derby Hat.

If the derby hat is to be crowded out
by the easier and softer styles of head
gear there won't be much regret over its
going. In spite of its advantages as a
cross between the silk hat and the
slouch, it has never had the merits OF
either of those styles. It has always had
the discomtorts of the silk hat without
having its dash or beauty, and it has not
been much dressier than neat soft hat,
although it has always been more uu-
comfortable. 1t is bad thing for hot
day, and it isn't much for a cold spell,
and fate help the man who wears it in
the morning after a banquet. The
tendency now is to easy hats, and it
ought to be encouraged. Men have
laughed great deal at women's slavery
to fashion, but they have never been
able to point to more forcible lllustra-
ton of that slavery than their own ad-
herence to the derby hat supplied

The familiar hat with twisted blim,
while catchy over some faces,is not becom-
ing to all. Such exceptions will find vel
come suggestion in the hat shown in the
picture. The brim rolls evenly up little
near the edge, and is good deal wider in
front than at the back. The crown is very
small and narrows toward the top, after the
manner of the sugarloaf crowns This one
is not absurdly high, however. That is q
charm of the model-it is extreme in no
way. The under side of the brim is light
brown, the upper side and the crown is dark
brown. A soft light brown scarf is knot
ted to the front of the crown, its loops
spreading we'll towards the edge of the wide
front brim. The ends of the scarf pass
around the crown. One ending short, the
other long, hangs beyond the edge of the
brim at the back. Through the knot and
towards the side dark brown quill is
thrust, the only concession this pretty hat
makes to the general pc rkiness Of the head
gear lust now fashionable. This still little
feather only brings out the softness and
rounding lines of the hat.

Taste and Smell.

Some curious observations by Profes-
sor Jashow indicate that our apprecia.
ton of food depends largely, if not
chiefly, upon the sense of smell instead
of that of taste. The subject of the in
vestigation was a student twenty-one
years old, who inherited from his mother
the detect-acquired by her in chilli
hood-of complete absence OF the, sense
of smell, taste and other sensations being
unaffected. He was found to be- unable
to detect any difference between tea,
coffee and water. In three trials out OF
five he confused bitter almond water
and water, but distinguished between
ether and water and ether and ammonia.
Fruit syrups were simply sweet, no dill
ference between them being perceived.
Gloves and cinnamon we're recognized,
but mustard and pepper gave only a
sharp sensation on the tongue. .-Trenton

rafters had to be cut in the mount

the dwellings were generally on the

forty to seventy feet long and often
twenty teet wide, those of the poor were
mere huts, six feet by ten feet, and per-
haps four feet high, and entered by a
small hole in the side.
The principal thatch material. a grass
called pill, is common ON all the islands
and very troublesome in one respect on
account of its seeds or awns, which get
entangled in the wool of the sheep. Its
stem is divided, erect, branching, COM
pressed, one and half to two inches
high. The leaves are pale, linear, four
feet or more long by two inches in width,
rough above and on the margins.
To the frame was bound by cord small
stretchers, between which was matted
and served the pill grass, the corners
and ridge pole being finished with ferns
and the lanai being based and rooted
with palm leaves. Over the whole
thatched sides and top of Mr.. Damon S
reproduction is fine netting, like that
used in fishing. The interior consisted
of one room, across one end of which
was raised platform or hikiee (hee-kee-
a.a) two feet or so above the floor. On
this was spread layer of rushes, and
these were covered with the sleeping
mats, superior quality of which were
made on the Islands of Kauai and Mihau,
of a fine rush called Waikolu (wy-ko-loo).
Common floor mats, made by the women,
were formed of the leaves of the canda-
nus or hala. This raised place was the
bed upon which the whole family slept,
with no covering but tapa or bark cloth.
