the same old luck except in the game
with Carlisle which we won by u
score of 9 to 6 ia beautiful game.
The game las. Friday was beau
tiful one. 1t was complete victory
for Brown as far as pitchers battle
was concerned, but the four runs
made by Chambersburg were not
made fairly. They were made after
Brown had fairly struck out the bat.

roasted Brown and the club with his

On Wednesday Carlisle went down
before US after winning a game each
from Hagerstown and Chambersburg.
For a rare occasion Martinsburg was
in good trim, and the score should
have been less for Carlisle had not
Pitzer been injured in the sixth
inning. The game was intensely in
terestlng, especially so in the sixth
when Carlisle tied the score. We
have not space to detail this game
as we would like but Of Martinsburgs
9 runs 7 were earned while only 8
of Carlisle's 6 were earned. Kott-

for nervous disorders at home. Well, sir,

stand how we were situated. 1t is q wOu-

'When I was selected by Lieutenant
Peary to accompany him on his trip to
the Arctic regions to try and find way
to the north pole" says Mr.. James w.
Davidson in The Fourth Estate, ''it was
partly because of my strong, healthy con-
stitution, and his belief that | could en-
dure the fatigue and danger incident to
the trip. L had been associated with him
as his business manager on his lecturing
tour, and was on terms of the greatest
intimacy with him.
when the ship Falcon left New York
on her trip northward it had among the
stores several cases Of Paine's celery com
pound. The reputation Of that medicine
was well established, so that it was the
most natural thing in the world that the
members Of the party, and they COM
prlsed men from nearly every walk in life,
from common sailors to men of science,
should desire to use it.
The record OF our pelilOus trip to
Camp Anniversary is too well known to
need repetition. Once IL camp we nat
uraIly took an inventory of our possess
sions, and l was exceedingly glad to find
Paine's celery compound. The medicine
chest was open to all, and we were free to
take from il what we thought advisable.

Earnings of some Physicians.

DR.. Loomis' will, disposing of 81 ,OOO,-
600, is an illustration OF the large fortunes
rolled up by physicians who achieve
prominence as specialists in New York
This fortune was made in the main dur
ing the past ten years, and its size would
indicate that the rumOr which places the
income of many of the New York crack
doctors at $50, GOO to so, 900 a year as not
far out of the way. Some physicians, by
the way, who discussed this matter, said
that it was only among ignorant people
that anything startling was discernibIe in
the fact that DR.. LoOmis died of the dis
ease which he was so successful in treat
ing among his patients. Doctors 30 often
give way before attacks of disease of
which they have made speciality that it
has almost been accepted az a rule that
they finally succumb to the enemy whom
they have most frequently vanquished in
others.-New York Sun.

when the oleomarearine comes from

When the oleomargarine comes from
the churn it has very much the appear
ance of butter. 1t is dumped on a circular
table, and long conical butter-worker
operated by machinery squeezes out the
buttermilk and works in the necessary
amount of salt. A man in clean, white
Jacket helps along the process with
wooden paddle. When the batterine has
been sufficiently worked and loaded into
one OF the tin-lined trucks it looks like
real butter, tastes like real butter, and no
one but an expert can tell it from real
butter. The creamery has a capacity of
2O,00O pounds in twenty-four hours, and
one hundred men and ten women are re-
quired 10 do the work.
After standing one day in clean, cool
storageroom and then being reworked,
the oleOmargarine is taken down stairs
to the packing-rooms. Here white
jacketed men and girls stand at tables
with mountainous heaps of the moist,
yellow butterine in front of them. With
q deft movement the man scoops up
handful and plasterS it into a mold hold
ing one pound. Then he drops it out be-
fore girl, who wraps it up in a piece of
parchment paper, and it is then packed
away in boxes. In this department the
greatest care is taken to have everything
sweet and clean. The floor and all the
tables arc scrubbed at least once day.
All boxes and tirkins have to be marked
and stamped with great care. For Uncle
Sam is very particular about butterine,
and when manufacturer wishes to make
II he has to pay license lee OF 5000
year, and then if he wishes to sell il at
wholesale is compelled to pay $3.50 more.
Retailers are charged S4S yearly. and
there is a further tax of = cents pound
on all the product manufactured. Each
package must bear the factory number
and the name ''Oleomargarine" in plain
type, 50 that no one will be mistaken and
take the product for butter. a list of all
purchasers, with their addresses, must
also be furnished to the authorities. Be-
sides this. many of the States have sep
arate laws on the subject which more or
less restrict the sale. But in spite of all
these impediments an enormous guam
tity OF the product is manufactured and
sold every year. Many persons prefer it
to butter. especially in the large cities.
Chemically, butterine is almost identi-
cal with butter. Here is the analysis of
the two:

Why Physicians Use an "R."

A woman of an inquiring turn of
mind started out the other day to dis
cover why physicians begin their pre-
scriptions with the letter r." Well,
she found out, but it took time and
caused her some trouble. 1t seems that
during the middle ages, when astrology
was in fashion, a character very much
like our az" was the sign of Jupiter, the
preseryer of health. The physicians, be-
ing then equally devoted to the science of
medicine and astrology, invariably be-
gan their prescriptions with the follow
ing words: 'In the name of Jupiter tax @
the following doses in the order set down
hereinafter" In the course of time this
formula was abbreviated, until at pres
ent only the letter RI remains to teach
US that the medical art was once asso-
ciated with the science of the stars.-Bos-
ton Traveller.

I said some things I ought not to have
said to woman. l remember she looked
little bit frightened when 1 left.
Lord! how 1 hated to tell Burt! 1
hardly knew how / did it. i gave him
the ring but not the message. The
youngster turned pale, but he was
plucky.
Pm glad you were the one to tell me.
Connor,' he said. 'I'll get over it after
a"hlle, put ia rather you wouldn't men,
ton it again.
De held out his hand and we shook
hands, and, from that day to this, there's
never Deen word said about it betw cen
us.
10 most people he seems the same,
put I've watched the boy, and I've seen
nilh tii more IMAM once as we saw him on
Ine SAND there tonight. l know that
sign, for Ive been through the war my
sell, and pve had many a wound, but
I've always got over it,"
Connor laughed softly, but something
IN his laugh aroused the suspicion that
one of the wounds had never entirely
healed.
The next day was terribly hot, and the
dust raised by the cattle was almost in
tolerable.
At last, as we halted in narrow val
ley anG the dust cleared away, l had a
! good look at the herd. Seven hundred
head had been the result of the round up.
and 1t was sight to gladden. a yaquero's
heart.
A steer broke away from the herd, and
Ike an arrow from the bow Burt was
after 1t. His horse, trained in all the
tricks of the rodeo, needed no guidance.
IL followed closely, but the binding dust
MADE 1t almost impossible for either horse
or rider to see. The clumsy steer fell
and the gallant little horse, endeavoring
| LOO late to turn. fell also, ana under him
his rider
When we raised Burt from the ground
there was CHASTITY wound where rock
nae crushed his skull. l looked at Con-
| nor, across the mOtionless form, and saw
| that his eyes were full of tears.
! 1t was at an inaugural ball, at the State
| Capital, that l saw Meah Eurton. She
| was the center Of a group of men, her
| husband on the outskirts of the crowd.
she was, indeed, as Connor had said,
| handsome woman. No Queen had
ever a more regal carriage than she.
! Her skin was as white as the milk from
her husbands cows, her cheeks tinted
IKE the wild rose of the Sierras, and her
| lips like the columbine: let black hair
waved back from her face, and was
| colied low on her neck. Her dress was
| IKE the crimson and gold of autumn
leaves. Beautiful as dream she was,
! with no more heart than a marble
| statue.
1t was not the proper place for such a
recital. yet when l had an opportunity L
told her OF Burt's tragic death. Do you
think she grew faint, or her beautiful
! eyes were dimmed? II er face was as
calm as that of a statue.
L fancled there was tinge OF contempt
IN the look she gave me as if she guessed
my reason for relating the story, and
