The Stag 20 he Repeated on New
Years Eve.

Owing to the success OF the stag recently
given by the Jersey City Club, there is to be
another on New Years eve. The committee
in charge Of the former entertainment have
secured the very best talent. Many of the
members, too, have taken occasion to praise
the management and to suggest an early
repetition of the event. The programme
will be up to the usual standard OF excellence
in this club.
The subscription dance to have been held
last Thursday evening was abandoned
through lack of interest. The cause is sup
posed to be the ~propinquitY of the holiday
season. Superintendent Henley says this Is
not due to lack Of interest in the club, but is
more the effect of financial stringency pre-
valent at this period.
Tonight a merry party of enthusiasts will
leave the Erie depot at GAS p. m. with the

ton. The boys will have the usual lively

Played a Trick on Vanderbilt,

Brices greatest play was building
the Nickel Plate. lie put in every
dollar he could get, and from any
source. There came time, too, when.
to save himself from utter ruin, il not
something worse, he had to sell. He
went to Vanderbilt, whose road the
Nickel Plate paralleled. Vanderbilt
wouldn't buy the Nickel Plate. He
said he could afford to wait the first
mortgage foreclosure and buy it from
Sheriff.
eff you don't buy it, Jay Gould
will, )" said Brice.
ooh, no, he WON'T" said Wander
bilt.
Brice then went to,Gould. He knew
that he didn't want the Nickel Plate,
but he had beautiful scheme to pro-
pose. He knew Vanderbilt would buy
the road before he would allow Gould
to get in. Here came Brice's strategy.
He told Gould that il he would sit
silent and not contradict, neither af-
firm nor deny, any newspaper articles
to the effect that he was going to buy
the Nickel Plate, and after this clam
like silence had continued for week,
if he would then ride slowly over the
Nickel Plate in an observation car,
Vanderbilt would buy the road, and
he WOULD give Gould $500, 900.
Gould didn't care for the $500, 900,
but he WAS jocose speculator, and it
struck him that the whole thing would
be majestic joke on Vanderbilt. The
papers said that Gould was going to
buy the Nickel Plate. Gould, when
questioned, looked wise. At the end
of week he meandered, snail-like,
over the Nickel Plate ip the rear end
of IN observation car, and had oil the
air of man who was looking at a
piece of property. Stories were wired
about Gould's trip from every water
tank and way station along the line,
and before Gould had reached Chi
cago Vanderbilt, in a fit of Mysteries,
wired Brice that he would take the
Nickel Plate. Vanderbilt took the
Nickel Plate and Brice was saved =

Administering Ginseng.

The greatest care is taken by the
Chinese of the pieces of ginseng OF the
finest quality. M. Hue says that
throughout China no chemists shop
is unprovided with more or less OF it.
According to the account given by
Lockhart medical missionary in
Chlna) of visit to ginseng mer-
chant, it is stored in small boxes
lined with sheet lead, which are kept
in larger boxes containing quicklime
for absorbing moisture. The pieces
of the precious drug are further in
closed in silk wrappers and kept in
little silk-lined boxes. The merchant,
when showing a piece barred OF its
wrappings to Mr.. T4oekhart for his in
spection, requested him not to breathe
on or to handle it, while he dilated
on it's merits, and related the marvel
Gus cures he had know it to effect.
The root is covered, according to
quality, with the finest embroidered
silk, plain cotton cloth, or paper.
In China, ginseng is often sent to
friends as valuable present, and in
such cases there is usually presented
along with the drug small finely
finished double kettle for its prepara-
tion. The inner kettle is made of sill
yer, and between it and the outside
copper vessel is small space for hold
ing water. The silver kettle fits in a
ring near the top of the outer cover
ing, and is furnished with a cup-like
cover, in which rice is put, with a
little water. The ginseng is placed in
the inner vessel, the cover put on, and
the whole apparatus set on the fire.
When the rice in the cover is cooked,
the medicine is ready, and is eaten by
the patient, who drinks the ginseng
ten at the same time.
The dose of the root is from sixty to
ninety grains. During the use of the
drug, tea drinking is prohibited for at
least month, without any other
change of diet. 1t is taken in the
morning before breakfast, and some
times in the evening before going to
bed. d.--Chamberss journal.

A deputy sheriff yesterday started
from the Receiving Hospital with two
insane men who hsd been committed
to the asylum at Ukiah.
"You had better take some along to
help you unless you want TO havo some
trouble" suggested one OF the police
surgeons. 1.-TWO men should think
would be too many for you"
"Not much. It is easier to take
two men than one. I'll slow you how
I do it"
The deputy led the man, who imag-
ined he was King of England, to one
sido and confided to him:
"Your Majesty, that man over
there, indicating the man who thought
his head was an eight-day clock, ''is
as crazy as a bedbug, and is liable to
hurt some of your subjects if he gets
loose. l want you to help me take
care of him till can lock him up in
the asylum"
"That's an unseemly occupation for
the King of England. Bah Attend
ant to the insanel' remarked the dis
gusted monarch. "But I will do it.
like adventure. You will take due
precaut!on to conceal my identity or
your head will be the price of your
,arelessness.
The deputy whispered to the human
clock.
''Do you see that fellow over
,here?" indicating the king. "WelI,
hes crazy, and if you don't keep your
lace toward him he's liable to stop
your hands and touch off your alarm.
Now, want you to help me watch
him till can land him in the asylum.
Then you can run right along,
When the deputy left the hospital the
king and the clock had locked arms
and were hanging to each other des
perately. The deputy smoked and
read all the way to Ukiah, while the
insane men took care of each other. :

In some sections OF this country the
apple tree is looked on for its product
as piece of timber as we'll as fruit.
producing article. For this reason
the old German fruit growers in the
vicinity of Philadelphia always aimed
to get nice straight trunk to an ap.
pie tree, and train it up comparative.
ly high before allowing it to form a
head. Moderns have supposed that
the chief object to be gained by this
method of training was in order to fa-
cilitate plowing operations, but the
ultimate end in having a good trunk
for timber purposes was not forgotten.
In this particular region the wood was
used chiefly for shoemakers' lasts-a
business which, in the earlier history
of Philadelphia, did much to help the
trade of that famous manufacturing
centre of population. The apple re-
gions have mostly disappeared from
that vicinity; but other sections of
the country seem to understand the
value of apple,tree wood. 1t is stated
in the Country Gentleman that fruit
grower of Cayuga sold to a well-known
firm of saw-makers of Philadelphia
Disston & Sons-the trunks of some
of their trees, which were cut away
because the trees had grown too
closely together, to the value of $500.
In this case the wood was, of course,
used for the handles of saws. Boston

rants its more general adoption. This
rotation involves the keeping of sufi-
cient stock to consume and to convert
into manure the crops raised, except.
ing of course the surplus of grain,
pork, beef, wool and dairy products
sold off the farm.
After dividing the tillable land into
three fields of equal size, begin the
rotation by seeding field No. with
wheat. In the spring SOW on this one
bushel of clover seed and eight quarts
of timothy on every eight acres. Avoid
pasturing the clover in the fall and
until the middle of May the following
spring. Where the most timothy ap.
pears do not pasture, but cut for hay.
In August haul out the manure from
the barnyard and put in piles 12x12
feet apart; twenty two-horse loads
will be sufficient for each one. Let
this remain piled until the following
spring, when the clover sod on which
the manure has been spread should be
broken UP and planted very early to

direction the drill is to be run. In
this way labor is economical, and the
high cut stalks when narrowed down

to the wheat plants, and also measur-
ably prevent the washing of the soil

otherwise wash badly during the win.

ing serves for three crops-one of
corn, one of wheat, and one of clover
and timothy for hay and pasture.
By such a system of rotation farm
ing is made more profitable and pleas
ant. For, instead of breaking up
hard, sun dried soil just after harvest,
as it isusually done in July or August,
the manure can be hauled out at leisure,
and needed rest can follow the hard
labor of haying and harvesting; vari.

Baseball by Electricity.

baseball by electricity received q
practical test at Palmer's Theatre yes
terday and was at once branded sue
cess. The stage is fitted up as ball
ground. The players are small figures
stationed in their respective positions.
The catcher stands behind the plate
and plays ''back" or ''off the bat Just
as the circumstances denote. He
moves on sort of wheel. The pitch
er stands In the box. The umpire
stands behind the batter and gesticu-
lates with great emphasis. On the
line are the "coachers." who wave
their hands in delirium of baseball
frenzy. The umpire automatically
raises his hand. The batter. as if con-
jured from the depths, slowly energies
from trapdoor at home plate and
takes position. A globe in the pitch
er's hand, denoting the ball, suddenly
flashes and the ball is in play. 1t goes
out, and then blazes in the pitchers s
hand. Thus "ball or "strike" is
noted. When the ball is knocked out,
an electric lamp above the field de-
notes which direction it goes, and an
other flash on the ground denotes
where 10 struck. Repeated flashes de-
note every move Of the bail ,G0til it
again reaches the pitchers hand. The
batter, when the ball is hit, scurries
off for the first bag. If he is out he
drops through trap door. If not, he
continues around the circuit until he
reaches home or is put out. Every
play is called. A green flash denotes
a foul.
Tho way the figures run. slide,
emerge from and drop through the
trapdoors is extremely interesting.

KEEP THEM RUNNING.

An observing farmer, while in con.
versation with the editor at recent
poultry show, remarked that it was
due to the efforts of his ten-year- old
son that the egg basket was kept heap
ing full by his chickens last summer
and all fall. "The little fellow" re-
marked the farmer, always paid
great attention to everything he
could read or hear about the keeping
of chickens, and one of the things
which impressed him strongly was the
oft-repeated injunction to keep the
hens at work if you want eggs. Well,
the boy had charge Of feeding the
chickens, and he would get heaping
measure of grain and go down to the
barnyard and call his pets. They
would come on the run from all di-
rections, and then the fun began. The
lad would throw couple of handfuls
Of grain first in one direction and
then another, scattering it over a
space fully fifty feet square, and much
of it into the grass. The way the hens
would sail around after the grain
would remind you of small riot, and
after they got through feeding the
barnyard would look as if some one
had been over it with small plow.
We had plenty of eggs to use and sell,
even through moulting time. The
boy has since rigged up henery in
one corner of the barn and keeps his
hens hustling about in hay, chaff and
clover up to the knees hunting for
their grain, and we get more eggs
than any three neighbors combined. f"
