terly way and made two phenom-
email running catches of high flies.
His work was married in the ninth
by mutfing a fly to center. Youth
full Lishman of the Crescents
guarded third in his excellent
manner; his pick-ups and light
ming and accurate throwing was a
pleasure to witness. Holt deserves
credit also for pulling down fly
balls.
THE FIRST INNINGS.
The Crescents went to bat and
Willis opened the deadly first with
a single, he stole second and
reached third on Lishman's sacri-
flee. Hart sent the ball to right
bringing the tall catcher home.
The young government employee
finally reached the home-plate on
an error of Dams. When the sec
ond run was scored the friends of
the youngsters bestowed nothing
but applause and smiles on them.
The Hawaiis did not score in this
inning.
In the second innings the Cres-
cents, flushed by their successful
first, commenced to hammer the
ball again, making three hits and
tallying two more runs.
The Hawaiis then went to bat,
and through errors on the part of
their opponents scored three times.
The admirers of the Hawaiis then
had their time to applaud.
The Crescents made one run in
the third and were shut out during
the next two innings. In the fifth
they tailed two more, brought n
by a timely hit made by young
Wilder. The Hawaiis made one
run in this innings, with a total of
four against the Crescents' seven.
The seventh innings was
"Waterloo" for Antoine Perry's
men. Up to this time Angus had
pitched a good, steady game, but,
unfortunately, his arm gave out,
which proved very disastrous for
his nine. He had no speed, and
every time ball crossed the corner
to the plate it was sent to the field
by the batsmen. The Creseents
commenced to make errors in q
wholesale manner, and finally
wound up this tiresome innings by
allowing their opponents to score
ten times.
The exciting time was in the
ninth, when the Crescents COM
menced to pound Palmer Woods
delivery in an unmerciful manner.
The kids scored five times and had
the bases filled with two men out.
F. Woods went to bat at this
critical point realizing that hit of
any kind might tie the score. He
was not equal to the emergency
and struck out.
The boys did well, however, for
the first game, and with more prac-
tice and one or two weak spots
| strengthened there is no reason
| why they should not give their SEN
Tor companions a good race for the
pennant.
The game was umpired by
Messrs. Wall and Crabbe. There
was no kicking, so their efforts
were successful.
Mr.. J. w. Winter, one of oul
base ball mainstays, kept the score

1t may not be generally known that
there is nothing more soothing for
either burn or scald than the white
OF an egg. 1t is contact with the air
which makes a burn so painful, and the
egg acts as a varnish and excludes the
air completely and also prevents inflam-
nation. An egg beaten up lightly with
or witho' a little sugar is good remedy
in cases OF dysentery and diarrhoea, says
the Arkansas Traveller. 1t tends by its
emollient qualities to lessen the inflam-
nation, and by forming transient coat
ing for the stomach and intestines gives
those organs chance to rest until nature
shall have assumed her healthful sway
over the diseased body. Two, or at the
most three, eggs day would be all that
would be required in ordinary cases,
and since the egg is not only medicine
but food the lighter the diet otherwise,
and the quieter the patient is kept, the
more rapid will be recovery. '-

The ubiquity OF electricity 10 becoming
almost proverbial From the /" brightest
spot on earth to the blood-stained bat
tlefelds is rather far cry, but there Is
no end to the application of electricity.
A recent telegram from Austria described
some experiments of great interest which
have recently been carried ont success.
fully there. The difficulty of searching
for the wounded on the night after great
battle has been one which has long occu-
pied the attention of military refofmers,
and the army medical service In Austria
has been endeavoring to determine how
far the electric light may be utilized for
this humane end.
The value OF powerful search light
with refectors has been proved In naval
affairs, and at Suakim and elsewhere SOL
diers have found them very effective on
open ground. They would be equally
effective, under similar conditions, for
assisting In picking up thu wounded, but
when the battle has ragged over wide ex-
tent OF country, or when the fighting has
occurred amid woods and brushwood, the
use OF this class OF light is attended with
difficulty.
The need for special form OF light for
this purpose having been recognized, the
Austrian medical service has been ex-
perimenting with portable electric Lam
terms fed by secondary batteries con-
tanned in the knapsacks OF the men who
carry them. These experiments have
been carried out under conditions as
nearly as possible similar to those which
would occur in actual warfare, and the
results were SO encouraging that it is
highly probable that the portable 'search
light will be taken up in earnest by the
military authorities in other Countries

The fatal weakness of the position of
the strikers at Homestead is that their
battle is waged, not singly against CAPT
tai as represented by Carnegie & Co.,
but against all other labor, They have
asserted a monopoly of the right to
work. at Homestead. This was folly.
No such monopoly could be or ought
to be maintained. And the moment
that they undertook to maintain it by
violence their cause was llost. To ad-
mitnit their condition would be fatal
to all industrial progress and denial of
the most obvious right.

Mr.. Darwin, q few years before his
death, made the non-scientidc world IA
miliar with the work of worms In pass
ing earth through their bodies, and with
the wonderful results effected by them in
Q comparatively short space Of time.
More recently Mr.. G. Dawson has fol-
lowed up Mr.. Darwin's researches In this
field of science.
Last year Mr.. Dawson examined the
sands between Holyland and the coast Of
Northumberland, q large fiat stretch Of
beach familiar TO most persons who travel
by the East Coast route to Scotland. The
observer found that the number Of cast
ings of sand thrown up by the lobworms
gave an average OF 90, 0O0, 900 to the square
mile. A portion OF the castings was
weighed, and the total weight thrown up
annually was thus shown to be, in some
places, about 901 tons per acre; ct other
points 1t was a good deal less than this;
but in still other parts II amounted to no
less than 3, 148 tons per acre.
II all the sand thus passed through the
bodies OF those animals in the course Of
twelve months we're spread out It would
give an average thickness of not less than
thirteen inches. How many and various
are the changes produced in the sand by
the wonderful activity OF these indus
trious worms 1t IL impossible to say. But
1t is easy to see how the presence Of such
creatures In large numbers operate with
other forces to produce a kind Of order
on the surface OF the earth, and to replace
crudeness by beauty. The thing that
strikes one most, however, Is the magni-
tude OF the results which can be produced
in a short time when q large number Of
separate individuals work In CO. operation
by the same method toward the same end.

Marriages in Abyssinia.
Fr-,,g,,r,,1


Abyssinia is country where, if marriage is
a failure. it can be easily dissolved. There is
absolutely no legal or holy tie. When man
is desirouS of marrying girl, he directly ap-
plies 10 her parents The maidens, like those
IN many European countries, are seldom con-
suited on the question; the lover arranging
with the father or male relatives regarding her
dover, which generally means few beeves,
sheep, or pieces of cloth. and sometimes gold.
On the marriage-day the bridegroom presents
himself with his best man at the house of bis
future father-u-law. Much feasting goes on
till the bride is carried off by her husband,
generally on his shoulders, while the male rela-
tives closely follow, making canopy OF their
togas to keep or the rays of the sun, or per-
haps the effects OF the evil eye. Behind come
a crowd of young girls and boys, methcdically
lifting their arms aboYe their heads, and clap
ping their hands to the measured beating OF
tom-tonss carried by men running along the
fanks of the procession, who also blow long
trumpets.
The happy compile that I saw married out
stripped their followers, with the exception OF
their best man, and at last reached the town
green. where the groomsmen formed screen
with their cloaks round the happy pair, when
the deferred courtshjp began.
1t is custom for the supporters OF the groom,
generally six in number, to be present on this
occasion, and for many days aiterward to go
round visiting the houses of the mutual friends
of the married pair, extolling the beauties OF
the bride and the accomplishments of the
groom, generally finishing up with gro
tesque dance, which is much enjoyed by the
enthusiastic neighbors, crowding round the
open doorway.
Though this marriage can be annulled &C.
cording to mutual agreement of bride and
groom, if, after years of happiness together,
they wish to cement the tie more closely, the
pair simply attend the holy communion to-
gether in church, and the marriage is then
looked upon as indissoluble.

The Great Armies Of Europe.

The ablest and most interesting military
writer in the United States, and one Of the
foremost of our time is Col. Theodore A. Dodge,
u. S. A., retired list. COL Dodge spent the
Winter in Europe, making personal study of
all the great armies, and the results of his OBJ
servati0ns he contributes in an interesting
article to the July number of The Forum. More
than 100000 enlstand ready for battle in
Europe, and the noblest work of the world is
perverted to ignoble uses Europe. as Col.
Dodge shows, has never been so perfectly pre-
pared for war as now, but he reports that there
has never been time when soldiers were SO
loath to fight. and he does not look for an early
outbreak of hostlities. In reviewing the sew
eral armies of Europe, Col. Dodge frankly de-
a military power. In fact, England has had
no war for nearly 80 years that is of more i'm.
portance than our conflicts with the Indians in
the West incidentally he remarks that the
self.gratulations of the English about their
army is curious National trait. They think,
for instance, that the charge of the Light Bril-
gade at Balaklava was an unprecedented feat.
The fact is that less than 81 per cent. of those
that rode into the jaSs Of death" perished,
whereas. in our own civil war moro than GO
regiments lost in some one engagement more
than so per cent, and one regiment lost as much
as SO per cont. On the sea, however, England s
power is still great
The greatest danger that Col. Dodge sees to the
peace OF Europe is in Russia's restless pushin g
across Asia. The Asiatics have a liking for
Russia, whose autocratic government they un-
derstand better than the Government of Eng
land. Russia does not seek war, but she will
not rest from her sly encroachinents east
ward, and this may precipitate general con-
fict The Russian army, by the way, is one OF
the best in Europe in great many respects
Col. Dodge devotes much space to detailed
comparison of the French army with the Ger
man army, with much praise for both. but
with tendency to give the most compli-
mentary word to the Germans He declares,
however, that the French army was never in
such good condition as now, and that under
Napoleon 1t was at no time as thoroughly
sound.
One treacherous factor in the whole problem
is the absence of any great commanding mill
tary mind, such as there was in Europe, OF
course, before Won Moltke died for in modern
warfare more than at any time in the past is
the ability Of great military genius the decisive
factor Col. Dodge declares that Germany is
hampered by the loss or the shelving of heI
great men, and she does not know when the
Kaiser may fail her. This fact is recognized
if not openly spoken Of, everywhere in Ger.
many.
These and many other interesting ohserva.
tions, which are the result of Col. Dodge's
study on the ground and of his long acquant-
ance with most of the leading officers in all the
European armies, make his essay of unusual in.
terest, not only to the military and political
student but to the general reader as well.
