Athletic.
The Reliance Athletic Club Of Oakland
has completed arrangements with the Oak
land Consolidated Railway Company,
whereby it is now assured that fine new
athletic park will be constructed near the
motor-hou on the line of the electric road.
For some months committee from the
club has been endeavorng to come to an
understanding with the Directors of the cor
poration and few days ago it succeeded in
elinching the agreement.
The new athletic park will be located just
above the residence of Major E. MeElrath.
The company will build a commodious
grand stand, bicycle and sprnting track,
baseball diamond, four tennis conrtS. hand
ball courts and clubhouse. 1t is expec ted
that these improvements will cost at least
expended by the company the Reliance
Club agrees to spend 5000 In improvements.

SElckets
According to the present outlook this will
be great season for cricket. The activity
displayed by the most prominent clubs and
the early organizing of teams is remarkable
The many alterations and changes of play
ers show how theoretically the officers nave
passed the winter in looking for fresh talent
and players to better their teams. The
California Club, last years champions, have
suffered most In this respect and by pres
ent appearances it will have hard struggle
to get into a position in this years race
The detection Of Sheath, who joins the Pa
cihcs. BiagraVe. Shepherd and StOman, who
will WELD the willow for Alameda must be
big setback for the CALIFORNIA;.
The clubs indefatigable secretary, Mr.
Duggan. has hopes of weathering the sea-
son with the assistance of Webster, Arson,
Gadesden. Schrimshire, Hall, Randall, Tur-
ner, Robertson and some new blood he has
lately discovered.
Ben Clark, the Aamedas' secretary. al
though UPSET by his clubs backsliding last
year. states that the team to represent the
cid club will knock spots off the California
or anything else that comes along. Seeing
such an array Of talent as Sloman, MeClaren,
Hood. Lowe, Scott, Denzell. Hogue and
Spiro to back up Clark's statement matters
lock serious for other clubs. If report
speaks true the Alamedas have also one or
two new men from the East, who will make
their mark.
By present appearances the Pacifes will
fght 1t out with Alameda for first place.
They will be strengthened by Sheath, Ben
nett and Reynolds-the Two latter from the
Burna5y.
On several occasions the Pacifcs played a
remarkably strong game last year, and with
the assistance OF the above three players it
should be Strong enough to cope with any
opponent.

1872 The Oakland Club players were the
nrst into the field this year. They were
very weak last year, although on the i'm
prove at the latter end of the season. The
same might be said of the Burnabys aud if
Reynolds and Bennett secede from them a
good line Of policy would be for the two 1891
tallendeTs t. amalgamate. This would bring
very good strong eleven into the field and
the idea should be encouraged by both clubs.
II would materially benefit the game, make
the schedule easier 10 arrange and be an m-
proyemens altogether satisfactory to the
majority Of cricketers.
The Alameda grounds have been greatly
improved, the concrete heightened and
wldened and mating to fit 1t has been Sc
cured. This was much needed and will
now make 1t pleasure TO play there
The Klinknerville grounds have taken on
an elegant coat of grass and now look as
green as billiard table. The wickets have
been raised and the ground narrowed thor
oughly.

San Franciscans are well supplied wi tn
turtle. and probably do not sufficiently ap-
preciate their good fortune. Soup from
this pelagic reptile Is common, and a steak
Is hardly more costly than one of beef at
present prices. How those traditional guz-
zlers and gobblers. the liverymen OF the
city of London. would smack their lips and
crease all over with smiles at the thought O T
such abundance! A feast in the City Mith-
out turtle would produce riot. The giver
OF the feast would be forgiven anything but
the omission Of turtle. IL the supply be
plentiful great and noble does he become i'm
the estimation of Paunch. What picture
OF gourmandish expectations does that story
OF Chantrey. the sculptor. reveal! He was
at one of the City banquets and sat
opposite plump, worthy citizen who
ladled out the soup for his section of table.
He soused the ladle round and round in the
tureen and with cunning purpose separated
the TAT from the lean, helping the first
served to the latter. The first plate went to
Chantrey. To the surprise Of che dispenser
Chantrey had no taste for turtle. He de-
clined. but meanwhile he had observed that
not morsel Of the delicious green
fat had been offered him. All was
spectability at City feast should produce.
He watched the progress of that plate.
From hand to hand it passed with blank
dismay until it reached the Lord Mayors
Chaplain, ana Chantrey declared he never
should forget the look that forthwith dark
ened the visage OF the outraged Gee lesiast;c.
Finally the crafty dispenser had emptied
his tureen OF all but one succulent plate III l.
Now 1t was that he fished up piles Of seduc-
tive fat, and his face was beaming with
pleasure at the prospect of speoning 1t down
his gulle:. Suddenly Chantrey called across
tile table, "Thank You, have changed my
mind; I'll take q little souv," and away
| the plate was whisked to him by the waiter.
| Amusement and chagrin were visibly writ
on the countenance Of the bereft. But

Economy and parsimony are different
things. Some men talk and practice the
first so continually that it comes to mean
the same as the latter. 1t is not economy
to be without sufficient wholesome food,
without comfortable clothing, nor, if you
can afford them, without the reasonable
luXuries of life.
Thomas Smith of Hampton, Conn,
tells the New England Farmer how he
kills ticks on sheep with common snuff:
81 buy ball of snuff or enough to 90
over the whole flock at once, / cut the
snuff and pulverize It on a newspaper, put
the snuff in a glass jar take the jar, a
large pepperboX and tablespoon, and dip
the snuff from the jar into the pepperbox,
half or twO-thirds full. Then / take the
sheep gently, lay her on her side, put my
knee gently on her head, open the wool
and shake the snuff on the skin in places
three or four inches apart, and close the
wool. ! put more of the snuff around the
neck, and in about three days, if it is done
well, the ticks and nits will all be dead.
The snuff is a sure cure"

Feeding the Hens for Eggs.

Feeding for eggs has been the theme
of a great many writers, and nearly every
one seems to have his own ideas, and it
seldom happens that two agree 1t might
be in order to say how | feed In the
morning make amash of s"alded cOrnmeal,
middlings, and bran, and twice week add
a little prepared meat or animal meal If
l have any scraps from the table, or cook
ed vegetables, | also add those to the mess.
Once or twice a week, as | think they need
it, put in little condition powder.
keep grit and oyster shells before them all
the time, and never fail to have a cabbage
head hanging up IN the house so they can
pick at it AS they wish. At noon J scatter
a little wheat or oats among some litter,
and the fowls keep up a continual scratch
ing until time for the evening meal, when
scatter oats or wheat around their yards,
and they again busy themselves hunting
the grain. In the fall of the year / SOW
rye all over my place, and let the hens have
all they will eat of il. In order not to
confuse focks, / let out certain ones on
certain days, and in this way each flock
gets at least one good days pasturage. In
the spring turn under the rye for green
manurng to which in addition to the benefit
the soil gets from it, is added the droppings
of the fowl ! find this not only good
farm policy, but an excellent thing for the
poultry. -GermdntOl0n Tciegrdph

Things of Passing Interest.


A case of cannibalism, committed in
Colorado in 1873, was called TO mind at
Denver the other day by the hearing of an
argument of habeas corpus proceedings,
brought by the attorney of Alfred Packer,
who is serving time IN the Canon City pen
itentiary. charged with having killed and
partially eaten five OF his companions.
The story of Packers crime has often been
told Packer and nve others were travel
ing from Utah to southern Colorado, where
they became lost i'm a snowstorm in the
mountains. They fell short of provisions,
and the want of food, according To Packers
story. drove them crazy. Packer left their
temporary eamp for a short time To- try and
discover something to eat. When he re-
turned. he saws that hc was met outside the
camp by one of the party, who ATTEMPTED to
kill him. Packer fired and the man fell
dead
On reaching camp, Packer says he found
his other companions dead and piece of
one of them was roasting over the fire, hay-
ing been put there by the man who at
tempted his life. Packers awful hunger
was too great to withstand the sight of food
then, even though it was human flesh, and
he ate the meat He continued to camp
there for several days atterward, living on
the flesh of his companions. He finally
became strong enough TO travel and at last
reached civilization. IL was charged at his
trial that the crimes were committed for
the purpose of robbery. He was arrested
shortly after the crimes, but escaped, and
for ten years was at liberty. Then he was
rearrested, tIied, and sentenced to eight
years in prison for each of the murders.
| The question now before the court is
whether this cumulative sentence can be
enforced, or if Packer shall be released

Farm Rows and Girls.

G.. W Brown, Jacksonville business col
lege, jacksonville Illinois, writes to the
Orange Judd Farmer: "A personal eXpe-
rience with over 10000 young people, large
~ from the farm, and covering a period of
nearly thirty years, leads me 10 conclude
that farmers boys and girls are not likely
to become farmers and farmers wives, es-
pecially if they become educated
TO which the editor replies at has been
too much so in the past, because farmers
themselves have not maCnihed their own
calling. Their home talk and actions tend
to make their children feel that almost any
calling is on a higher scale, more honorable
than that of farming. There is a most
detestable class OF the so-called Farm
Journals which are constantly telling
falsely that the farmers are the most
oppressed class of people, the victims Of
trusts, corporations, and what not. They
do this so as the better to parade them
selves as the sole defenders of said farmers,
and thus get their patronage and dollars.
This is their chief stock in trade But
a better day is dawning. Science is being
largely applied to agriculture. Improved
implements and facilities are multiplying
with wonderful rapidity. The liEhtnings
of heaven and the science of meteOrology
are becoming of more importance to farm
ers than even to shippers and shipping
interests; everything is tending to elevate
this pursuit in Importance and in dignity
and its certainty of success as a pursuit is
ten-fold greater today than in any other
calling

Trnnyson Not Popular Poet in Eng


Tennyson was not, and to this hour Is
not, poet of the English common people.
He may be a popular poet in America. He
is not a popular poet in Great Britain.
Popular that is, in the sense OF being read
and loved 10y the common people. And
this, in great measure for a very simple
cause; for the nation. as John Bright aptly
said, lives in the cottage. and TennySon is
too dear for the Cottager.

the death Of the laureate. veniurcd the
somewhat cynical remark that he was the
first poet who had a genius for finance.
Tennyson as a tinancier is a somewhat in

meant was that Tennyson was almost the
only bard who had found gold mine in

American farmers almost always desire
more land than they can work. If they do
not make money they generally think the
reason is they have not land enough, and
often run in debt for more. But the mort
gage runs on increasingly, while the land
produces only in the growing season. So
in the end the mortgage usually wins, some
one else takes the farm, and the old pro-
cess is repeated with new actors in the pro
gram. This fact Oft repeated has set
many farmers to thinking. Possibly they
have been mistaken in believing that more
land was the requisite condition of prosper
ity. Fewer acres aud better tillage gives
better promise of success.-Amertcdn cut
