BA Sc BALL.

The Academy niue defeated the
Kimball Union Academy nine, in all
uninteresting six inning game here on
Saturday, by a score of 10 to 8.
The home players held we'll together
and did excellent work, but they had
really nothing to contend with.
Hazelton, the visitors pitcher, was
about the only player on the team
who displayed any owledge of
base ball, and his delivery, though
effective, was so deliberate that base
stealing was pastime, not a task.
Last year the K. U. A. team beat
the Academys 4 to 8. This year it
was different.
CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.
Mondays championship game be-
tween the Academys and the God
dard Seminary nine of Barre was
mainly a matter of pitching, and the
Academy's won easily, Is to g..
Patey's work in the box was very
effective, his curves being "puzzlers"
to the visitors, who were able to do
but comparatively little hitting.
Outside of fine fly catches by Tinker
and White, the support given Patey
was poor, errors IN one instance
sending batter to third base after
he had been really struck out The
Academy boys caught on quite free
ly to the visiting pitchers game, and
INDUCED in several grounders which
the Goddards failed to handle, and
which counted for runs. The home
team made three marks in the first
inning and shut out the visitors :;
but at the end of the fourth inning,
with the score 4 to 4, the game was
decidedly Interesting and the excite
ment was at fever heat. Suisse
quently the Goddards went to pieces
and the Academys gathered in score
after score with a regularity which
was somewhat mOnotOnous, al
though quite refreshing to the St.
Johnsbury contingent. The Acade-
mys are to be congratulated on their
victory. Defeat in this game would
have meant good deal for the team
which Gowns" the president of the
league. They will now have a
chance at the Vermont Seminary
nine, Saturday of next week, at
Montpelier, and here's luck to them

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
theineeds of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup Of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup

A MUSICAL MOUNTAIN.
Sweet Sounds Like the Thinking OF
Bells Made by Shifting Sands.

In the old Trucl1ee mining district,
down the Truckee river near Pyramid
Lake, is situated Nevada's musical
mountain. This mountain was first
discovered by the white settlers in
1868, at which time there was some
excitement in regard to the mines
found in the neighborhood. The dis
coverers were a party Of prospectorS
from the Comstock.
They had pitched their tent at the
foot of the mountain, and for few
evenings thought themselves be-
witched, says the Virginia City En-
terprise. Each evening, little after
dark. when the air was calm and all
was quiet, a mysterious concert be-
gan. Out from the face Of the big
mountain were waited soft strains
that seemed to cause the whole at
mosphere to culver as they f1oated
over the camp. The music then APP
peared to pass over it until it was far,
far away, and almost lost in the dis
lance, when, beginning with tink-
ling, as Of many little silver bells,
there would be u fresh gust Of sweet
notes from the mountain.
During the daylight hours little Of
the mysterious music was heard, and
it was settled that it was not caused
by the wind. A spring near which
the explorers had pitched their tent
afforded the only good camping
grounds in the neighborhood, and as
each new party prospectors arrived
at the spot the wonder grew.
Some Piute Indians who came
along and camped at the spring were
found to be acquainted with the pc
culiar musical character of the
mountain. They called it the
singing mountain"
Some Of the men collected in the
camp became more interested in the
mountain than I'm prospecting, and
gave most Of their time to an invest
igation of the mystery,of theimusical
sounds heard, to proceed nffom it.
They found that the whole face of the
mountain was covered with thin
fakes of hard crystalline rock.
There were grcat beds of these fakes.
The Investigators Concluded chat the
mnsical sounds heard proceeded from
the loose material, huge drifts of
which seemed 70 be gradually working
their way down the steep face of the
mountain.
At all events. the strains heard at
the foot of the mountain in the even
ing's stiffness seemed to be produced
by the uniting and blending of the
myriads of bell-like tinklings pro-
ceeding from the immense beds of
slaty debris creeping glacier-like
down the slope.
The solution OF the mystery of the
musical mountain is the only one
worthy OF notice. As no mines of
value were found the district was soon
deserted, and has since seldom been
visited. Therefore, few expect the
old-time prospectors know much
about the singing mountain"

Dogs and Their Playthings.
ABSOLUTELY PURE


The d &. the greatest friend of man.

would suspect the intelligent and
stately Newfoundland dog Of as great
q love OF playthings as any child for
its dolls.
An owner of as splendid Newfound-
land as ever gladdeped the heart Of
Landseer records the fact that it was
intensely fond OF its playthings..
1T was in the orchard" said this
dogs master, that it usually found its
playtaings and conveyed them to it's
sanctum. These consisted chiefly Of
sard ne tins, balls, hower-pots, chunks
of w cd, etc., but the prime favorite
of all its possessions was large tea
kettle.
This it would lark to and play with
for hours together. BY day it kept it
in corner OF its stall and carried ap-
pies to 1t from the orchard. At night
1t sleeps close to the doggie's side.

It was clear that there was nothi g
half so sweet in life to this Newfound-
land dog as that old black kettle, as
anyone soon discovered on making any
attempt to deprive it of its loved play
thing.

But Archie is the company in this
case. His road is on the hill by the
side of White Bear Lake, and he is
the only boy in that region who is
able to 60 coasting in summer time.
He himself will tell you, the best Of
all is, that in this kind Of coasting
you do not have to walk up the hill.
The electricity pulls you up. Archie
is very proud of his road, and spends
the days carrying his sisters and their
dolls along the road. He can stop
any place on the way, so he pretends
there are several stations, and his
sisters get out Then he takes them
up again when he comes back, and
collects make-believe money from
them. They all have very good
time riding on the cars, and Archie
is learning great deal about elec-
;Sricity.

too, may fly out of the old barn some

little swallows learning to take food

A Young Railway Manager.
Little Archie Cowley, of Delwood,
Mimi, is probably the youngest rail-
way manager in the world. Archie
Is but years old, yet he controls an
entire electrical railroad. 1t Is true
that the road is but one-tenth Of a
mile in length, nevertheless it is 1T
ted out just as completely as any
road that is run by grown persons.
Archie is president, secretary, con-
ductor, brakeman, and motorman,
while his sisters and playmates are
the passengers. The road was built
for Archie by his father, who is st.
Paul banker.
There are three cars on the road
one motor car and two passenger
cars. Each car is five feet long and
two feet wide. 1t is not trolley
road. Instead OF u trolley wire
there is long strip Of iron, which
lies between the tracks and supplies
the electricity which makes the cars
run along. On the motor car Is the
rheostat, which is an arrangement
for controlling the electric cure mt.
BY using it Archie can make his cars
move as fast or as slow as he pleases.
On this car also is the motor and
the brake, and also the reversing
switch which makes the cars move
backward.
At one end Of the road is the
power-house; where the electricity is
produced. The electric current comes
from small dynamo, which Is driven
by a petroleum engine. There Is also
a shed where the cars are stored at
night and in the winter time. In
