BASE BALL NOTES.

Yesterday the Silver Brook club and
the Fearnots wound up the season at
Drifton with game in the park. After
the second inning all interest in the
game was lost, as the home club had
everything its own way and batted the
ball at will. The fielding of the visitors
was very poor and their errors were
numerous and costly. At the finish of
the game the score was 10 to 2 in favor
of the Fearnots.
AT Berwick on Saturday the Hazeton
club was badly defeated by the club the
Tigers shut out on September "a. The
score was 16 to 5.

An exchange says it has of late been
the custom of the Reading Railroad to
employ secret detectives on their trains

several conductors have been discharged

that the road is experiencing consider

Insects I'm Stored Grain.

The transformation and habits of the
grain moth, black weevil and red grain
beetle are about the same. The eggs
are laid within the grain, both before
and after it is gathered. and the mature
insects come forth in three to six weeks
after the eggs are laid. Their depreda-
tions are not confined to any one cereal,
and by their work they cause a marked
decrease in weight. Sulphur or salt
sprinkled in husked corn will tend to
drive the insects away.

Words to Remember.

A wise man understands good work
from the beginning, but fool only
when it comes TO an end. Seek the
counsel of wise and sensible men, of
learned men, of intelligent men, and of
men of good disposition. and be thou
their friend. Keep thy hands from
stealing, thy feet from wandering with
out work, and thy mind from cherish
ing wicked revenge, for the man who
works righteousness obtains n good re-
ward. and the man that does sin suffers
punishment. Do not injure thy soul by
wrath and envy. Do not consign thy
soul to hell out of false modesty or
shame. Ask Gods blessing and keep
thy heart cheerful, and thou shalt OBJ
tain Of the Lord an increase Of his good
ness. Always, and ut every time. trust
thou in God alone, and make that be-
loved to thyself which is increasingly
profitable unto thee. Labor and sacri-
fee thy life for the thing which is of
God. Mediate on virtue; do not medi-
tate on sin, for a man does not live for
ever. Therefore the thing that concerns
heaven Is most befitting thee.-From
