Mike Mahoney of Lowell, one of the
finest umpires in the country, has been
engaged as one of the New England

managing the Lowell team in the New

money and less satisfaction in it.
1t is to be hoped that he will relieve
Lezotte who certainly has not tho first
qualifications of good umpire.

Morning Mercury says: Considering the
horrible weather, the game was decidedly
interesting. The Remedies played sharp,
snappy ball and worked hard all of the
time Their pitcher, Dilworth, was a
good one, and tho catcher was as lively as
cricket In fact the whole team played
with vim that the other Maine clubs
would do well to copy.

NEW PARTISAN VICE.
The Inhaling of Saphtha yspor Said to Be
Better Than Hasheesh.

The Inhaling of Naphtha Vapor Said to Be
Better Than Hasheesh.
Petroleum enters into the manufac'
ture of not less than two hundred ar.
ticles of universal benefit and the odd.
est use to which it is put is its inhalation
in the form of naphtha vapor by Pa
risian women as substitute for opium,
says an exchange.
In one factory where naphtha Is
largely used it is by no'means an un'
common practice. The naphtha is kept
in reservoirs and is drawn off through
pipes as it is wanted for use. By ac-
cident some of the female operatives
made the discovery that the fumes from
these reservoirs had a peculiar and
pleasant effect upon them, and from
this the initiated fell into the habit of
going regularly to the valves and in
haling the fumes.
Several girls who were previously
slaves to hasheesh have given it up in
favor of naphtha because they are
easier to take. All that was necessary
was to inhale them from the pipes and
the work was done. Besides, the latter
cost nothing, which was an important
itemto girl on small wages.
A languorous and pleasant sensation
comes over the indulger, and when she
would drop off to sleep very pleasant
visions are the result. The sensations
resulting from good pull at the pipes
usually last three-quarters of an hour.
In most cases the narcotic influence
of the fumes produces sleep which
covers half of this time; but, although
there is not absolute sleep, the condi-
ton closely borders on slumber, and
the effect is about the same. The same
delightful languor possesses the mind
and body, which the deluded victim of
this vice persists in believing cannot be
otherwise than good thing for her.

BUSINESS ON THE SEINE.
Navigation Has Given Great Impulse t.
Commerce.

Navigation Has Given . Great Impulse to
Commerce.
No boats were formerly allowed to
make their appearance within the
boundaries of the Paris Notifications
from the time when the lamps on the
bridges were lighted until they were
extinguished, and the regulation held
good in other places. Workmen in the
ports, says Paris letter, were obliged
to wear a number and were under the
surveillance of the police. Boats were
also compelled to unload without de-
lay, and after sunset no labor could be-
undertaken. These and other rules
which gave rise to frequent annoyance
and grumbling have been suppressed
and code more in harmony with mod
ern requirements has been issued. APP
ropos of this, it is instructive to note
the progress achieved by traffic on the
Seine during the past fifteen years. In
the old days the river barges were of
100 tons, while the number Of steamers
and tugs, which was 200 in 1880, has
risen to 500. In 1880 the total tonnage
Of the barges and other craft belong
ing to the department of the Seine was
5000, 900, but now It may be rated at
5000, 900, or double that of the port Of
Marseilles. Last year $4,000 boats be-
longing to trading companies arrived
here, and in the ordinance to which
reference has been made special ar
rangements have been set forth with o
view to avoiding collisions of steamers.
Nor, again, will the light yacht which
finds her way hither lose by the change,
as there is also fair provision for them.
The great impulse which navigation on
the Seine has received of late years
seems to justify the hopes of those to
whom the idea of "Paris port de
mer" is something more than dream.
The improvements effected in the river
since 1880 have mainly contributed to
these satisfactory results.

Contains Acts of Scottish Parliament and
Many Valuable Reference Books.

ncANNNhcS Doohe'
The Allegheny county law library in
Pittsburgh is the pride of the judges and
the lawyers and the constant reference
for all of them. II contains twenty
eight thousand five hundred volumes
and embraces the decisions of the supe-
rior courts of every nation where juris-
prudence is known and practiced. II
had slender beginning, says the Pitts
burgh Times, but wise providers, and
now, while its possessions are in
creased at considerable cost yearly, the
cost to the lawyers, for whose especial
benefit it is, is nothing. The total ex-
penses are not more than five thousand
dollars annually, and this money is
paid by the county commissioners.
Ranged on the shelves are decisions
of the Indian court of appeals, and be-
low them are the deliverances of the
erudite, bewigged and begowned JUS
tees of the courts Of England, whence
all law comes. There are copiesof the
reports Of every state and territory,
and reviews Of the important causes
which have been decided by the courts
of FRANCE. Most of the books are
printed in English, though some Of
them are In French, German and Latin:
One volume from the supreme court
contains a daringly precise recital of a
love case, which must have excited
statewide comment from the fluent
detail dealt out by the learned and
grave judges; the admixture of passion
and pistol makes it thrilling story. 1t
is soiled by the touch of many thumbs
and seems to have been much read in
preference to the dry diagnosis of the
technicalities of suits involving prop
erty rights.
There are some treasures in the Ii
brary which are, highly priced. The
Oldest book is copy of the acts of the
Scottish parliament from 1924 to 1923.
1t contains charters and seals that are
so yellowed with age as to be in parts
undecipherable. Another revered vol
ume is Fitz Gibbons reports of the
cases argued at the kings bench in
Westminster, London, during the five
years of the reign of George III. This
book begins with the date of 1852, and
its leaves are eaten by worms. The
type is of large German character.
This is probably the only copy in
America. The Scotch acts, from 1924
to 1921, contain the laws of parlia-
ments during the reigns of King James
and Queen Mary in one part, and the
acts during the reign of King Charles l.
and IL, and the convention of estates
of Scotland in 1865, 1867 and 1878, in the
other. The duke of York's Book Of
Laws" of 1876 to 1852 has all the auto
graphs of the governors and presidents
of the councils of Pennsylvania during
those years. The list includes the
flourished chirography of William
Penn. There is also fac-simile of the
charter granted by King Charles II. to
Penn.

FORMER RARE METALS.
They Were Not Known Because They
Were Not Sought For.


Were Not Sought For.
The supposed rarities of the mineral
kingdom are in a great measure not
seen merely because they are not
sought, and those rare metals which
in the days of our youth were only pre-
served in minute tubes as chemical
curiosities are now to be found as soon
as they are really wanted. Titanium
abounds in most rocks and sands; ru-
bidium turks in considerable quantities
in the potash minerals worked at SIass-
furth; thallium, discovered with diff
Guilty by Mr.. Croolxes more than thirty
years ago by the vision of a green line
in the spectrum, can now be purchased
at few shillings an ounce; no sooner
is a new element (germanium) discov-
cred in Saxony than it is found to have
been mined as an ore in Bolivia, and it
now seems that we have all our lives
been breathing argon without knowing
of its existence.
Let but demand arise, says the Lon
don Saturday Review, for rare ele-
ment or mineral, such as has resulted,
for example, from the introduction of
an incandescent gaslight, and they are
found in sufficient quantities. In this
latter case an adequate supply of the
rare metal zirconia was provided for a
period of several years, and now, when
zirconia is discarded, the far rarer OK
ide of thorium is employed and is
actually extracted in large quantities
from minerals and sands in Norway,
North America and Brazil for illuminat-
ing purposes.

THEY LACK CONFIDENCE.
Lawyers Do Not Want Their Names Iden-

titled with Wills.
That it takes a smart man to draw a
will is an adage the respect for which
in the legal fraternity is evidenced by
the fact that few lawyers want to fur
nish visible evidence of their part in
drawing up wills. 1t is perfectly easy
for man to hire lawyer to draft his
testament, of course. no matter how
complicated its provisions may be. 1t
is quite another thing, says the Chicago
Tribune, to get the lawyer to witness
1t. He will not even allow clerks in his
Office to do so, except, perhaps, where
the client is an old and regular one.
He wants him to go elsewhere to get
the necessary attestations. There are
exceptions to this unwritten rule, it is
true, but it is pretty generally OBJ.
served.
Lawyers will not so admit it, said one
of them, but the true reason is they
don't care to be identified with the in
strument. 1t is about as difficult an
undertaking as a lawyer can face to
draw a win where the requests are
surrounded with conditions that will
close up all loopholes to contest.
Most testators know how they want to
dispose of their estates, but it is ex-
ceedingly hard to express their wishes
in a way that will leave no doubt when
subsequently disappointed heirs call it
into question. The books TEEN with
instances of the inability of smart men,
some of them distinguished lawyers,
to make will that will stand under a
stiff fight. Lawyers naturally don't
want to be associated with document
that may be pronounced bad, and so
they are unwilling to sign as witnesses
or to let their employees do 1t. l sup
pose il to some extent argues lack Of
confidence in their work. Anyhow the
precaution is of little use, for invaria-
bly, the lawyer who drew it is disclosed
