NATIONAL LEAGUE.

Yesterday was another remarkable
day in probably the most remarkable
base ball race on record. The two lead
ers, Boston and Plttsburg, lost, and ex-
cepting New York, which is in sixth
position, the seven clubs following the
leaders all won, which tends to make
closer and exciting this pennant chase
which for several weeks has destroyed
precedent. Boston tried with poor sue
cess three pitchers against the Colts
while the Pirates We're blanked nine
Times by the Orioles. The only change
in position is that Cincinnati by wu-
ming from the Senators ties the Giants,
who lost to Cleveland in the closest
game of the season. The Quakers took
two from the poor Colonels.

The true carp. who occupies the proud
position Of head Of the family, is but a
naturalized alien in our British waters
By origin he is a Chinaman. and rc still
abounds in his wild condition among the
mighty rivers Of the Flowory Land. The
human Chinaman, however, has been
noted from all time for his strict at-en-
tion to the main chance. He docsn let
the grass grow under his feet and never
allows a good thing to escape him. 80
many centuries since he domcstca-ed
the carp and passed it on by transport
to his friends and ncighb0rs. At an
early date the oriental stranger was nat
uralized in Germany. and i'm the days
of James it arrived in England.
Its diffusion by human hands is facil-
itated by the fact that it can live for
many weeks at a time ont Of water, es-
pecially if packed in moist leaves or
damp linen. This is common peculiar
ity Of pond haunting fishes, for ponds
are always liable to dry up in summer,
and the fish which inhabit them have
therefore learned from ancestral expert
.nce to bury themselves IN the mud
while the drought lasts, and to do as
best they may without a supply Of wa
ter. In fact, existing species # pond
fish are the descendants of the survivors
which have thus managed 20 escape the
droughts Of ages. -Couhill Magazine.

Driving Stakes For the oirou. Tent.

First comes the driving Of the stakes,
no slight task, since each stake is or 5
feet in length, or 3 inches thick, and
has to be driven three-fourths of its
length into hard ground. Between 200
and 300 blows Of the sledge are required
to get a stake home. The sledges have
handles feet long and heads that weigh
II pounds. They must be swung high in
the air and be brought down with the
full force Of pair of strong arms There
are over 900 stakes to be driven, which
means $50, 900 blows of the sledges. But
for their special skill, this work alone
would take the men half a day. They
will do it easily in IS minutes.
They begin with the "big top" tent,
which is marked out 440 feet in length
and $50 feet in width. There are $50
stakes to be driven here, and four gangs
of.men, Of seven or eight men each, are
charged to drive them. The leader Of
each gang places the stake where the
iron rod stood, taps it two or three blows
to make it stand alone, and then with
nod signals the gang to begin striking
The seven men stand in circle around
the stake, their sledges ready. Each man
swings his sledge through a full ciple,
the heavy hammers coming down on the
iron head of the stake in regular and
rapid succession. Each man strikes about
one blow a second, so that the stake re-
ceives seven blows a second. SO skillful
are the men that they never miss blow,
never interfere with each other and
never vary from the musical rhythm set
by the leader. -McClure's Magazine.

Taking n Bath In japan.

We made our host understand what
we wanted, and soon all hands were
busy bringing wooden pals Of water in
to the yard. We noticed that with each
pail arrived half a dozen inquisitive look
ing natives, who had evidently scented
some novelty in the air.
At last tine water was ready, and we
were told that We could have our bath.
"But what about all these peoples" we
asked, pointing to the crowd OF women
and children assembled in the yard.
"Oh, they've come to see, " was the re-
ply. Now, Englishmen, as rule, are
modest beings, and l fancy that most
men would feel a certain amount Of
bashfulness if called upon to stand up
and battle in the presence Of 80 women
and children, so NJ. whispered to me,

and how he had to flee the village to

ordinance to that effect was like bravely
holding up twinkling little light Of

stay the tide, but the light will be a no

who in that year made all the negro

joke about going to prison and being

for SO years it has done its fatal work.
Men now aged chuckled at it in their

and get the stage to take it up, it may
