SPORTING.
Ensy FruIt for MInsdnIe.

The Leland and Gray seminary of Towns
bend again met defeat at the hands of the
Hinsdale eleven at Hinsdale last Saturday.
The result at the end of two fifteen minute
halves was % to 0 in Hnsdale's favor.
The ball was kicked Off by Hinsdale and
was caught by Boutelle, who advanced it
five yards. After two tries Henkel, whom
the Townshends had taken to Hnsdale on
their hunt for victory, gained five yards
around the left end, but Townshend was
not benefited by this, for on tumble Hins-
dale secured the ball and by the long runs
of Fay and short mass plays, in which Ma
son, the big ex-Dartmouth guard, figured
largely, the ball was carried across the field
to the goal line, Mason going through the
left tackle for a touchdown. Smith kicked
the goal.
The next touchdown was made by a
clever trick. Townshend kicked the ball
off. 1t was caught by Smith, who made a
dash up the field and, as he was about to
be tackled, he passed it quickly back to
McCaughren, who had followed him. Nc
Caughren, with a clear field before him,
made the second touchdown, no goal being
made. On the next kickoff the ball was
caught and carried a short distance by
Thomas, his career being stopped suddenly
by Henkel, who was doing some fine tack
ling. Good line bucking by Mason and
McCaughren, and long runs by Fay brought
the ball to Townshends five yard line.
Mason then went through the centre for a
touchdown, Smith kicking the goal. Lee
land and Gray again kicked off the ball,
which Hinsdae quickly carried into Towns
hend's territory, when time was called with
the ball on Townshend's 40-yard line.
The second half opened with the kick
off by Townshend. Mason tried the left
end twice but was met each time by Allen,
who was doing some of the best tackling OF
the day. After five minutes play Henke
retired, having hurt his head by hard fall
| Ford took his place With Henkel's with
drawal went the spirit of the Townshend
boys. Immediately, McCaughren, the
| Hinsdale Splinter, went around the end
vacated by Henkel for 40-yard run and a
touchdown, from which Smith kicked the
goal. McCaughren duplicated this act by
another run of go yards after the next
| kickoff Townshend had now lost heart.
At this point Storm and Shayers got into
a little "fistic discussion" which, however
ended peacefully to both. Play was now
wholly in Townshend's territory and Hins
dale was slowly working for another touch
down when time was called. The main
features of the game were the tackling OF
! Allen and Henkel and the running of the
latter, for Townshend, while Thayer
| Thomas, Smith, Mason, Fay and McCau-
| ghren did good work for Hinsdale. Towns
bend took "Our George" Bahan over tC
aid them but unfortunately he was disabled
| in practice.

Attempts to Wreck Boston q Maine
Trains,

Considerable anxiety is felt among rail-
roal men and others at two attempts made
last week to wreck passenger trains upon
the Vermont Valley road between here and
Westminster. DISTINCTIONS were discov-
cred by section men about half a mile north
of Westminster station, consisting of pieces
of iron, spikes and stones, piled in such a
manner as would have thrown off train
due in a few minutes. Two days later the
White Mountain train south stuck por-
ton of rail and fish-plate laid across the
rails. They were hurled back under the
train, smashing the steps off three cars.
Strenuous efforts are being made to find
the guilty persons. The bungling methods
used would seem to indicate the work of
lawless boys.

A stubborn Fire I'm Mass OF Waste I'm
the Mig Brick stoclshouso ON Bridge
Street.
An alarm of fire from box 80 at the
Island House about 80 z. NJ. yesterday
called the department to stubborn blaze
in the middle of the large brick stockhouse
on the east side of the canal on Bridge
street. The building was packed full of
bales of old cotton waste from the floor to
the roof, it being estimated that there were
$50 bales of half ton each. The fire evil
IDENTIFY originated from spontaneous COM
bustion and was under good Roadway
when discovered. The building is very
solid brick one, with cement floors, and
eight streams were poured into it for two
hours before the fire was eXtinguished. The
loss consists in damage to the roof, some
stock burned and considerable expense in
caring for the large amount of wet stock.
1t will probably amount to from $500 to
$4,000. Insured in the Manufacturers Mu-

The Hats of the Season.

Tho hats OF this year are emphatically
not the hats of yester year Where once
they turned up they now turn down, and
once more feminine countenances may be
seen demurely enshrouded by the drooping
brims of their headgear. One of the latest
models from Paris rather resembles a he'll
met in shape. The dropping brim Is
pinched sharply up over the center of the
face and falls almost TO the ears on the
other side. A bride elect selected one of
these shapes to be made In coarse purple
straw with beefeater crown of black and
mauve shot velvet. The brim is cut I'D at
the back, and there fastened with two gold
ornaments, and depends for trimming sole
ly on a group of black feathers.
Another extremely pretty hat is Of black
velvet with an irregularly curved brim
we'll shading the face and a band of satin
ribbon tied round the high crown over
which droop in various directions about
seven black feathers.
From every milliner comes the same tale
large black hats of felt or velvet bedi-
zened with many black feathers are to be
greatly worn. This is fashion which
will probably remain long with us, for it
is one which can only satisfactorily be
adopted by women who can afford good
feathers and good velvet.

Origin of "Old Folks at Home"

Stephen Foster, the author, was once
passing through Kentucky, and while the
stagecoach was stopped at wayside inn
to permit the horses to be changed Foster
stood near, watching the operation with
some degree of interest. The darkies were
slow and lazy and made no degree of haste
in performing their duty, chattering mean
while in the manner and dialect peculiar
to themselves. Finally one, deploring his
hard lot, said, 81 wish l was back to the
old folks at home" "Where was that?"
asked another Snd the first rejoined,
Way down uponthe Swanoe ribber." The
Etude tells that the novelty of the express
sions caught the quick ear of the poet. He
recognized in them and the theme they
suggested an appropriate subject for a
song, and that evening, when he reached
his destination, wrote both words and
music. A chord was touched in the hui
man heart. The song was instantaneously
successful. Over 100, coo copies were sold
in tho next few years, and even now no
song of "Reminiscences is dearer to the pub
lie than the familiar strains, "Way down
upon the Swaneo ribber"

The eye has striking analogy with the
Photographic camera, and it has been sup
posed that picture might be found on
the rctina of "a dead person, which in a
case of murder might lead to the identifi-
cation of the murderer. According to DR..
Ellerslie Wallace, however this result is
hot to be expected, because a certain time
is required for the picture to make last
ing impression on the retina, and the
difficulty of photographing it is great. He
mentions an actual experiment in which q
man on the scaffold, whose eyes had been
kept in darkness, was told to fix them on 4
certain object before the drop fell and a
microScopical examination of his eyes
showed an inverted image of the object in
each, but of vague appearance. Perhaps
something might be done to photograph
such an image with microphotoscope.

BOWLING BALLS AND PINS.
What They Are Made OF and How They
Are Manufactured.


Bowling balls are always made of lig
mum vitae, the only wood of sufficient
hardness to stand the rough usage to
which they are subjected. The lignum Vi
tae is a large tree, native to South Amer
lea and the West Indies. The wood is i'm
ported in the form of logs measuring from
to 10 feet in length and from s to IA
inches in diameter. There is considerable
difference, says the New York Sun, in the
quality of the imported wood, due to age
and seasoning. The logs are usually cut
green from the limbs of the lignum vitae,
but often the natives in securing the wood
como upon sections of the trees which have
lain in the forests for many years. The
bowling balls manufactured from one of
these old logs arc much more durable than
can be made from the green wood.
In a young, green tree the inner part or
heart is very dark brown, but just inside
the bark is a band of yellow sap, which is
more or less thick according to the age Of
the tree After the tree is cut and the
wood becomes seasoned the yellow sap
gradually disappears, every year of season.
ing adding to the value of the wood for its
purpose. The most expensive balls are
turned from thoroughly seasoned lignum
vitae, in which there is no yellow sap to
be seen. The lignum vitae logs are sawed
into cubcal blocks, which are firmly fas-
tened upon the spindle of lathe. Below
the spindle is a revolving table on which
is an upright post holding the cutting
tool. This tool post adjusts to a very small
fraction of an inch. The workman, by
slowly turning the table through u hall
revolution and adjusting the tool post is
enabled to change the cubical block to n
perfect sphere. The ball is then sandpapcr-
cd polished and finished ready for dcliv-
cry, the finger holes being bored to fit the
hand of the individual purchaser.
An expert workman can turn out an
average of about ~ finished wooden
spheres per day.
The best pins are turned from rock ma
pie. Birch is sometimes used, but pins
made from that wood lack the metallic
ringing noise which the maple pins give
when struck
