A young man stood at the foot of
Griswold street gazing steadily into the
river, when a policeman who happened
along inquired:
Looking for anything particular ont
there"
We'll, no, replied the gazer. II was
just a-thinkin'. 1t Is almost three years
ago to a day since my brother Jim was
drowned right here
And you thought You might see his
hat floating around?"
''Oh. no. ! was thinlcin' how curious

We're both in love with the same girl.
Jim was the best looking, but l had the
most land"
And the girl preferred you?"
''She did. Jim and me didn't have nc
fuss about il, but As soon aS he found
ont how things was he come into De-
trolt and walked down here and Jumped
OFF. Poor old Jim
There are many sad things IN our
lives. " said the policeman. as he tapped
the head of q pile with his baton.
You bet, and this i one OF them.

by which 7 had come, wound around
the hill, and passed through left field
It was bounded on either side BY a
barbed wire fence
Those were the principal topograph-
ical features which l noticed on the
first view. The Bucksport nine was
engaged in practice, but they stopped
the instant we appeared Probably
they did not want US to learn how they
did it 1 would have been glad of any
pointers Of that kind for il puzzled me
TO know how anybody could play ball
in such place as that We ran out
on the field I was to play second
base. The right fielder was running
out ahead of me when suddenly
he gave yell and disappeared
from view. l has;ened TO his as
sistanee. He had fallen down a
bank which led TO an alder swamp
through which flowed a considerable
stream After helping him mp the
bank, l returned 70 second base, and in
so doing ! passed across a peculiar CIR
cular formation which l afterward
learned was circus ring. It looked
little like a crater of a volcano. The
ridge OF earth around ITS edge was about
two feet high. There was small
piece Of marsh land between my posi-
tion and third base, and when I glanced
across l noticed that cold, white and
malarial mist was creeping Up around
the short-stop's ankles Our third base
man, however had a very he2lthful po-
sition, being perched upon q granite
ledge at considerable altitude above
the marsh.
We began preliminary practice.
Whenever ball was batted 10 third
bese it would strike rock and bound
over the left felder's head. When il
was hit to short it would 60 right into
the ground, and have TO be laboriously
dug out again. As for my TERRITORY, it
had been used by the circus aS q pas
ture for elephants. and the earth was
full OF their footprints, and those Of
smaller cattle.
The game opened with our nine at
the bat l had never before expe-
ried the sensation of batting in the
bottom OF q. hole while the pitcher
tried TO drop the ball down the back Of
my neck. opened the proceedings By
striking out. Then I found the man
TO whom | had told the home-run sto-
ry, and endeavored TO square things
with him
Before had completed this excep-
tionally difficult task it was time for us
to take the field. 1t was 4 remarkable
sight TO see the catcher as he appeared
while playing back His feet were
four stories above the batter's head.
Our pitcher shot the balls across the
cap, and filed the bases before he had
succeeded in getting ball low enough
to be reached By the batter with a
nine-foOt oar. When at last he sue
iceeded in getting them down, the bat
ter knocked one into an elephants
track. and before could find which one
it had gone into. the man had made the
circuit of the bases.
The next man up hit a fly 10 left. and
orr fielder thought he had "a sure thing.
He made a great run, and If he had not
hung himself up on the barbed wire
fence which crossed that pasture, as
already described, he might have mado
& grand stand catch. As it was, he left
large part of his quilted trousers on
the fence, and he was engaged in dis
seminatin2 profanity and shedding

there was room for il, and have

l spent a portion Of this summer in a
resort on Penobscot bay, and while l
was there a challenge was received
from ball nine representing the town
of BucEsport, named after Mr.. Buck
which is very appropriate, for Mr.. Buck
Is dead and so is the town. The gentle
promptly accepted 1t and then looked
around 10 see whether he could find
eight other men who had ever played
the game. In the coarse Of this search
he dug me and my glass arm up out OF
the dust of ages.
''My dear fellow" said I, "there is
ivy growing all over me. 1 Icouldn't stop
q baseball if it struck ME right in the
middle of my back"
Il suppose you're little out of prac-
fice," said he, but they tell me that
you used to bat hard. Didn't you make
home run or something in a game
against Yale?"
Well, I'm a modest man, by nature,
but that fattered me. 1t is very nice
TO have those things recalled. Every
old college player would feel as l did,
in like case, and would probably do
the same thing. Of course 1 told him
the story of that home run. Between
ourselves, it was only good, lively
single when it was made, but that hit
has been growing longer as the years
have rolled away and the fellows who
knew the facts have cEe by one passed

A Table Made of Human Flesh.

A writer in Harper's Magazine of Feb
ruary, 1855, gave the following descrip-
ton Of a remarkable table made by Pro-
fessor Segato: 1T comprises every por-
ton Of the human body transformed
into stone, destined to endure as long as
the world itself if not ground to pieces
by violence. There are really two tables,
one finished and polished, the other in
complete, made of mosaics formed By
sections Of human bones, brains, lungs,
blood vessels, Intestines and muscles, all
as firm as marble, and showing the in
ternal structure Of each.
without an explanation a visitor
would suppose them to be from some
mosaic mandatory, for they are SYM
metrically arranged in squares, TRAN
giles and circles, with the great variety
of colors nicely graduated. Different
portions of the human body, showing
the internal anatomy, are so perfectly
petrifed as to form a fine object of
study for the medical student. Even
morbid anatomy was subjected with en-
tire success to this process. Animals of
all kinds, chickens and reptiles, in short,
nothing that has blood was capable Of
resisting Segato's petrifying touch"

The One original Git.

When one hears of a Washington
bride who has to find shelving for thir-
teen dozen of decorated china plates
and thirty-three bon-bon dishes. one
wishes for a little more originality on
the part of givers. \ check is always
original. Needlework is coming in as
bridal gifts: house and table linen IN
carved chests-nothing could be more
welcome. But even this should not be
overdone. 1t is barelypossible to have
too many doylies and table-centers.
luxurious and gratifying as these
dainty bits of napery are. A French
count recently presented to his bride
not only an heirloom lace handkerchief,
but a beautiful bedspread in finest
cambria and costly lace. In the middle
OF the spread was embroidered the
family coat of arms. Now 4 counter
pane of the sort worked by the brides
young friends would be Il treasure. in
deed, and would last, as only linen
cambria does last, for q lifetime

Hard to Get.

Doctors are sometimes more consid-
crate of their patients needs than they
are Of their circumstances. 1t is easier
to prescribe a journey to Europe or Ber-
muda than if is to fill the prescription.
A gentleman whose affairs had be-
come very much embarrassed, and who
was overworked and overworried, went
to a celebrated specialist, broken down
