ings on three hits and three errors
Then Clark settled down for three inn
pgs and not a man crossed the plate
rhe kids" punched eight hits In the
third, fourth and fifth innings, which
netted them six runs and gave them the
lead 10 the race. The visitors pitcher
hit Clark between the shoulders in the
fifth inning with pitched ball, and he
weakened in the sixth and the visitors
tied the ecore In the eighth Dover made
run, the visitors did the same
ia their half Of the ninth Dover went
TO bat for he last time. with the score
tied, Clark, tho first man to bat, cracked
out a single TO left field, stole second and
third, end scored minute later on
wild pitch by Mcdonald, and the game
was woL. The 400 spectators yelled
themselves hoarse. Many sensational
plays were made during the game by
oih sides, and each team hit the ball
hard enough to make 1t interesting
Clark pitched a good game and kept
his hits scattered while Zaarfoss backed
him up in great shape, making some
remarkable catches. jackson and Pearson
did some beautiful fielding for the
kids" The "klds" will plsy ia VIII

The Foreign Mails.
From the New York Herald.

FROM tne New Ork Heraiu.
The number of ports from which the
mail is received in this city is one hundred
and the number of the languages repre-
sented in the addresses is one hundred
multiplied by the various dialects spoken
or written by people the round world over,
and in the decipherment of this multiple
city of tongues there is rarely a serious
mistake, although there is no one person
specially commissioned to attend to this
branch of the department.
The "hards,' as the illegible of out
landish addresses are called in the slang of
the office, are sent to the "blind reader
(Which seems misnomer) and his assist
ants, and by means of directories and the

carrier who delivers the mail in the Italian
quarter always carries small hand satchel
to bring back to the office the money due
for the @collect letters In adopting this
course the writers take advantage of the
law, which enables any one to send letter
to any point comprised within the postal

A Japanese Wonder in Fowls.

One of the greatest wonders at the Chi
cago Fair was the japanese exhibit of poul-
try in the Agricultural Building. Many
of our readers have doubtless heard o. the
long-tailed japanese fowls from Shino,
Waramura Nagooka county, province of
Tosa The two specimens exhibited at
Chicago were four and two years old, re-
spectively. The tail feathers of the older
measured ten feet six inches long, those of
the younger specimen being six feet, but
the latter had twenty feathers that were
over yard long. This wonderful devel-
opment of tail feathers is partly the result
of careful breeding, says tae Massachu-
sets Ploughman, but is due also in large
measure to the great care taken to protect
the tail feathers from injury, for which
purpose the birds are Gagged in high coop,
which allows the tail to hang freely, with
out friction, on the sides of the coop or on
the ground.

Vaccination.
From Harper's Weekly

Vaccination in infancy is not enough. 1t
gives immunity for a time, but with growth
the tissues change, and aftera few years
the body becomes again susceptible. Re
vaccination must be practiced when the
child is six or seven years old, and again
during adolescence. Even third vaccina-
ton does not always give protection
throughout life. Immunity should be
tested every few years by repeated vaceina-
tions, and only persons who have sub
mitted to this test within few years past
can at any time feel fully assured that they
are insusceptible to smallpox. Not alone
the ignorant, but many people of intelli-
gence, suppose that SO long as the scar of
previous vaccination appears they are
immune, and with confidence born of this
delusional belief, go about the world almost
as susceptible to smallpox as If they had
never been vaccinated.

1t will probably be matter of surprise
to the general reader to learn that the pet
ticoat was first worn exclusively by men.
In the reign of King Henry VII the
dress of the English was 50 fantastic and
absurd that it was difficult to distinguish
one sex from the other In the inventory

Eat lruitS

The warmth of summer tends to bill
lousness and fcvers, and tho free use of
fruits calnteracts this tendency. This
is because the acids of the fruit helm to
facilitate the separation of the bile from
the blood, 1t process slackoned by tho
approach of hot weather. Fruits arc
cooling is an expression often used,
but why this is so very few understand.
They are so because the acid of tho fruit
stimulates the liver to greater activity
in separating the bile from tho blood,
which is its proper work, the result Of
which is the bowels become free, tho
pores of the skin are open, and under
such conditions fever and want of appe-

The necessity of relative harmony
throughout the entire physical system
cannot be too strongly urged Herein
lies tho chief secret of health and long
life Manifest weakness, or even prc-
dominant strength, i'll any part opens
the avenue for the invasion of disease
and the appoach Of death. What can
be done for tho realization and mainte-
nance of structural and vital harmony?
Space would fail us to give details
adapted to varying conditions but the
underlying fundamental principle for its
accomplishment may be impaired in
fow words. Strive to strengthen and
develop those parts of the body which
have been sighted by nature or weak
encd by disease or abuse; guard Jealous
ly such structures and see that they are
mover subjected TO undue strain or too
active cXcrtion; neglect not the improve
ment of every part of the economy,
but seek first to improve the weakest
structures; look well to organs of vital
importancc-the heart, lungs, kidneys.
etc. and seek especially to advance
their good. A fine physique is not to
be ignored, but of far greater impor-
lance are strong pair of lungs, q nor
NAL, well guarded heart, good digestive
apparatus and functionally sound kid
neys. The strengthening and devotion
ing OF vital structures require more skill
and perseverance, than the training of
the muscular system and should be con-
