cariosities of Superstition.

When Egypt was in the height of her
power, when she was most highly civil
lized and delighted in being called the
mistress Of the land and sea, her peo-
pie worshiped a black bull. There was
some discrimination, however, even in
this form of worship In order to be an
object Of mad alteration it was neces-
sary that the bull calf be born with a
circular white spot in the exact center
of his forehead, and the advent of such
a creature in any herd was the signal Of
wild demonstrations from the Mediter-
ranean to the border of the Lybian des-
ert. Even as late as the time Of Cleo
patra, "star eyed goddess, glorious sor-
ceress of the Nile" such animals were
shod with gold and had their horns
tipped with the same metal. .Herodotus
tells of a man who died with grief be-
cause he sold COW that soon after be-
came the mother of black bull calf
marked with the sacred white circle in
his foTehead.-St. Louis Republic.

TWO ravor,re roets.

Now there are two poets whom feel
that can never judge without a favor
able bias One was Spenser, who was
the first poet ever read as a boy, not
drawn to him by any enchantment of
his matter or style, but simply because
the first verse of his great poem was
A gentle knight was pricking on tn lain,
and followed gladly, wishful of ad-
venture. OF course l understood moth
ing of the allegory, never suspected it,
fortunately for me, and am surprised to
think how much of the language un-
derstood. At any rate, grew fond of
him, and whenever see the little brown
folio in which read, my heart warns
to it as to a friend of my childhood.
With Marlowe it was otherwise. With
him grew acquainted during the most
impressible and receptive period of my
youth. He was the first man of genius
had ever really known, and he natur-
ally bewitched me. What cared that
they said he was a deboshed fellow? nay,
an atheist? To me he was the voice of
one singing in the desert, of one who had
found the water Of life for which was
painting, and was at rest under the
palms. How can he ever become to me
as other poets are?-James Russell Low
ell in Harper's.

Defining a cocktail in Court.

A witness in case recently on trial
in one of the courts in Boston testified
that the defendant was not drinking
man "and only took cocktails" Judge
Blank, who presided, is a teetotaler.
He noticed among the spectators a well
known physician, bonvivant, and at
the recess called him up to the bench
and asked him to define cocktail.

MONMOUTH PARK. Aug. 9.-The ex-
pected feature of the day, the junior
champion stakes, resulted in hollow
victory for Don Alonzo, the giant son of
Long Taw and Round Dance, who won
the SIG, ,440 prize in the commonest Of
canters. Alonzo's immense stature en-
abled him to take two strides to his
opponents one. and he covered six fur
longs in :121s. Lady Violet was the
favorite,, at 1S to 5, while Alonzo sold
z to 2.
The champion stakes was one of the
most exciting and hardest fought battles
of the year. The seven starters raced in
a solid bunch, with Demuth cutting out
the pace at lively clip. for mile and
a furlong; then they lined themselves
across the home stretch in beautiful
bunch, spurs and whips being used
freely. In the final sixteenth, Lamp
lighter forged ahead and Simms stopped
whipping, and the great colt crossed the
wire the winner by length, in 1929.
This is quarter of second faster than
Firenzi's record, made several years ago.
Banquet took second money from Loco
hatchie. Montana, Ito l, the favorite
with LampliAhter, struggled in fifth.

Preliminary 70 the .naptism.

When Bishop Goe, of Melbourne, was
a curate famous pugilist in the parish,
who went by the name of Jim the Slog-
ger and who had never darkened a
church door, called at the parsonage
asking him to baptize the baby. Ac-
cordingly the bishop repaired to Jim's
house, but was surprised on being ad-
mitted to see Jim lock the door and
pocket the key. 'Be you the parsou
come to sprinkle my kid?' he asked On
the bishop asserting, he continued, eyer
can't sprinkle that kid till you and me
has had fight, parson."
The unfortunate parson protested, but
finding protest useless "stood up" to
Jim. The battle went for the bishop,
and Jim, pulling himself from the floor,
muttered, "He's the parson for me-"
The baptism was proceeded with and,
as the story goes, Jim took to church
going from that day.-Pall Mall Gazette

At a Feast.

There is new shape for the dinner
table-a triangle. The host is seated in
the middle of the shortest side and the
hostess at the meeting of the two longer
ones. This arrangement brings the en-
tertainers and the entertained nearer
together than at the ordinary square or
round tables. A single cloth is not used
on these triangular tables, but rather
narrow scarfs of heavy open work. Be-
tween the scarf and the center piece the
space is filed with bonbon and salted
almond dishes. Food

THE NATIONAL GAME.
The Dukes And the Angels to Play This
Afternoon.

The Dukes And the Angels to Play This
Afternoon.
The Dukes open up this afternoon and
play the balance of the week. They
come minus George Harper who is
under the DOCTORS care. The Angels
should have no difficulty in capturing
four out OF the five games. There is no
telling, however. The batting of the
Los Angeles club has fallen off very
much of late and they have apparently
forgotten all about batting out victories.
The games all the week will be called at
2:90. On Thursday school boys will be
admitted for ten cents. Tickets can be
secured at Edwards & Mcknight on
First street.
The announcement made in the HER
AID yesterday that Roach had gone
east created a profound sensation in
baseball circles. 1t is even betting that
the Blonde AdoAis will not be inter-
cepted, although Manager Van Derkeck
thinks that the telegram sent him at
Winslow will bring him back. The
management must not lose any time in
securing a substitute if they expect to
win the second half. The writer is no
alarmist, and if the advice given the
Los Angeles manager in the HERALD
had been followed, the first half would
have come to Los Angeles beyond a
shadow of doubt. This paper urged
Van Derbeck to get catcher for the
final trip away from home. Van Der
beck thought he could do the trick with
out a catcher. The result is matter of
ancient history. 1t took the people of
Los Angeles some little time to forgive
the atrocious lack of judgment, but
they will now demand prompt action on
the part of the management in the
present dilemma. Our chances in the
second half must not be jeopardized by
any indecision.
x*x.
Captain Glenalvin:s Some OF of your
players in recent games have engaged in
a wordy warfare on the ball field. On
Sunday Roach and Tredway called one
another pet names. In the last trip in
San Francisco two of the outfelders
nearly came to blows. A plaster of $50
or 500 would stop this display of
temper.

Billy Hasamaear told the San Fran
cisco baseball reporters a fairy tale in
regard to his release by Van Derbeck,
and some of them swallowed the story
holus bolus. Haeamaear was released
for carousing and using vulgar language.
Hasamaear played good ball for Los An
geles, but his actions off the ball field
brought the Los Angeles club into dis
repute.

AT BAY DISTRICT TRACK.

Only Two Races But Every Heat Had
an Exciting Finish.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9.-At the Bay
District track today there were only two
races on the programme, but they were
exciting, every heat being marked by a
sensational finish.
Eight horses started in the 2:25 class
trot. They were Shylock, Tippoo Tib,
Laura d., Thornwood, Colonel May,
Maggie, Sunrise and Ben Corbitt. Laura
y was the favorite, but Colonel May

with Shylock second, Sunrise third, and
the other horses strung out behind,
Laura q. being seventh. Time, 2 :241-5.
The second heat was won by Shy
lock, Colonel May second and Ben Cor
bitt third, Laura q. finishing last. Time,
.2,2334.
The next three heats and the race
went to Laura H., Shylock taking sec
ond money, Colonel May third and Ben
Corbitt fourth. Sunrise went lame and
was drawn after the second heat. Time
of the last three heats, 2:2325, 2 :23 4-5,
and 2 :23 1-5.
In the 2 20 pacing race, DIR. Swift,
Belle Button, Chief Thorne and
Plunkett started. All the horses lay
back and the first heat was won by
Belle Button in the slow time of 2:29;
DIR. Swift, second; Plunkett, third I;
Chief Thorne, fourth.
The second heat was liyelier and was
won by Plunkett, after a hard finish
with DR.. Swift, in 2:18 1-5; Belle But
ton, third.
DIR. Swift won the next three heats
and the race, but was hard pushed
each time by Plunkett: Belle Button,
third; time, 2:18M. 2:20 10, 2 :2l 1-5.

of the Washingtons were in reserve; one
followed Jeb Stuart in his exploits and
one fought in the line with Pickett's bril-
gade. The reserve batteries were put in
at the angle where Longstreet and Jack
sons lines came together at the decisive
moment TO overwhelm Porter's corps at
Groveton on the Both Of August. 1t was
these guns that buffeted Porter's attack
and saved jackson. At Antietam the en-
tire Louisiana battalion was posted on the
Sharpsburg hill in rear of the infantry.
Stonewall Jackson was away, and there
were to be no reserves in the struggle TO
keep McClellan's army at bay that 18th Of
September, the bloodiest day Of battle this
continent ever knew. When Longstreet
formed his line he said to the artillerists,
"Put all in, every gun, long range and
short range" They were needed, and 1t
came TO this in Capt. Miller's third com
pany that in the contest Of an hour and a
half for the mastery Of Sharpsburg
heights the captain was the only officer
left out of five, and he had only enough
men to work two guns. The infantry
around about were idle for want Of bullets,
and sergeant Of the battery went among
them to get help to work tho guns. Regi-
ments Of fresh troops that seemed to the
enemy exhaustless, Mcclellan hurled
against that hill. Longstreet dismounted
and directed the work Of Miller's guns,
while Miller himself and Longstreet's staff
officers handled the hammers and car
tridges and rolled the cannon forward after
each recoil. They saved the hill.

When he got across the creek to the bluffs
long lines of cannon were awaiting him,
and a few rounds finished the business
there. The battalion lost at Antietam 4
officers and 81 men killed and wounded, a
heavy roll for artillery. But when re-
serves are called in it means hot work.
1t was on the heights Of Fredericksburg
that these Tiger cannoneers did their
bloodiest execution. Their cannon on the
crest of Marye's Hill signaled the first
crossing Of Burnside's army to call in scat
tered Confederate corps to the scene, and
afterward moved down the storming col
