ed afterwards by the visitors. Kane
was in the box for tho home team, and
from the way the Statesmen treated his
delivery in the first it looked as though
Vests boys would walk way with a
victory. Three hits aud two bases on
balls with a wild throw or two netted
them three runs. The visitors hit Kane
for two singles in the second, but sharp
fielding prevented any Il getting. The
Wheelings added five more in the third
and fourth innings. and in the sixth,
seventh and eighth eight more scores
were made.
After the second inning Columbus
found kans's delivery very puzzling,
with the exception OF the eighth. when
they scored three runs on three hits and
two bases on balls. In the ninth they
made TWO hits. but n neat double play.

The Wheelings again put up a fine

with two wild throws down to second.

Injurious Photographic Chemicals.

The idiosyncrasies of individuals
furnish some very curious and inter-
esting studies. A number of persons
have been made seriously i'll from
using bichromate of potash, which
to many others is perfectly harm
less. Another felt no unpleasant eff
fects from cyanide of potassium, one
of the most deadly of chemicals, al
though handling it continually, but
was made i'll almost unto death by
the potash. AS there is no means by
which one can tell what the effect
of chemicals will he, il is worth
whilo to work with rubber gloves or
finger stalls. These cost the merest
trif1e and not only prevent all injury
from the chemicals, but keep tho
fingers from discoloration, an item
of no small importance to a great
many people. New York Ledger

The Game of Pigeon.

The eof pigeon is somewhat similar
to the game of pansy. The leader of the
game whispers to each one of the company
the name of bird. He then says that he
will give the names of two birds together,
and those two birds must change places,
the company having previously been seat
ed In a circle. When, however, he calls
Pigeon" among the birds, the other
members must try to catch the pigeon, a
prize being given to the successful one,
and the pigeon receiving the prize If no
one catches it,
All but six or seven of the company are
named pigeon To blind the players, the
leader calls first the names of these in
pairs. These change places as their names
are called. Then the leader calls, Pig
con, and all to whom he has given that
name make a frantic effort to escape from
some imaginary pursuer, thinking that
the whole roomful is chasing them

The Modern Holy Land,

Whatever romance and poetry
were in olden times associated with
pilgrimages to places reputed sacred
are rapidly being destroyed by the
prosaic spirit of this very progress
i've and matter of fact age Thus
those who with pious intentions now
visit the Holy Lard are transported
by rail from Jaffa to Jerusalem,
where funicular line conveys them
to the summit of the Mount of
Olives, while comfortable hotels on
the American plan are to be found
at Bethlehem and on the site Of the
garden of Gethsemane A hydraulic
elevator has been established at Mar
settles for the purpose of hosting
pilgrims to the much visited shrine
of Notre Dame de la Garde, perched
on the summit of the higher east
rock overlooking the city and bay,
and to which sailors and travellers on
starting out or upon returning from
sea voyages have from time imme-
mortal been wont to ascend by the
thousands of steep steps, usually on
their knees. New York Tribune.

Paul Jones and the Priyateer.

The French ambassador, the Due de
Vauguyon committed the astounding
faux pas of suggesting to Paul Jones
that he take command of French pri-
vateer and thus escape from his danger
Gus situation in the Texel Paul Jones'
reply to this was an instant and naughty
demand for an apology, which was
promptly forthcoming. No man hated
privateering and its internal prac-
tees, " as he calls them, more cordially
than Paul Jones. He wrote Of privateers
as licensed robbers, " and was natural
ly indignant at the affront offered him.
Some years afterward in French
port he had an amusing controversy on
the subject with Captain TruXton, after
ward the celebrated commodore TruX-
ton was then in the humble capacity of
captain Of private ship bent on plum
der He had the assurance to raise
pennant in the presence Of Paul Jones
without asking his permission and in
defiance of the act of congress forbid
ding privateer to hoist a pennant I'M
der such circumstances without the per
mission of u naval ships commander
They had tart correspondence, and
Commodore Truxton was evidently
mightier with the sword than with the
pen, as Paul Jones writes of him that
there are in his letter "several words
do not understand and cannot find in
the dictionary. Paul Jones sent him
"a polite message" to haul down the
pennant. This being disregarded, an
other polite message and Lieutenant
Richard Deal with two armed boats
were sent, and the pennant came down.

About RaindrOps.

There are certain differences in the rains
which fall at different seasons of the year
which are interesting to study. OF course
to enter deeply into the subject would
take too long and involve too many expla-
nations, But curious little fact about
the size of raindrops may be easily under
stood by any boy or girl reader.
The height of clouds above the earth Ia
always greater in summer time in temper
ate ATTITUDES and in tropical countries
And it is least in the polar regions and in
the winter Of the temperate one.
Raindrops always increase in size as
they fall. This Is occasioned by the accu-
mutation of moisture from the air through
which they fall. And this being so, it is
evident that their size will depend upon
the height of the clouds from which they
descend as well as the rapidity of conden-
sation. Hence, we find that tropical rains
and summer showers fall in large heavy
drops, while the fine, drizzling rains
mists and fogs are characteristic Of cold
ATTITUDES.
This is very little fact but to the boy
or girl who is always eager to know the
reason of things it is something to be able
to look out at the pelting summer shower
and say:
"Oh, yes. I know what makes the drops
SO big. 1t is because the clouds are always
further off in warm weather and the
raindrops have time and chance to grow
bigger before they get down to usl'-New

GENERAL MISCELLANY,
A Mothers Lament.

1t was in the Black sea that he fell
from the bridge, and the captain said,
''Is il Jack that is overboard?" For he
loved him like son, and he plunged in
to save him. And the water was wild,
and he grasped-but it was only his
cap. And sad present it was that they
sent me that Christmas-his silver
watch and chaiu. And since then l have
been weak and weary, for he was the
first of l3, and loved him the best.
All, Jesus sent and Jesus took / know
1t must be so, but when l sit on the
rocks / think maybe God took my son
to some island in the sea, and when /
see the birds Swimming on the water
think maybe he was not drowned, but
will come up out of the sea to his
mother, who nursed him so dear.

High Aerial Navigation.

Beyond 30, 600 feet above sea level,
the height reached by Glaisher in
1862, man has never been able to
navigate the air. Various problems
concerning the regions farther away
(higher up)-such as temperature,
pressure moisture and composition
of the air-have been leading sub
jects of discussion among the physi-
cists for years. In 1898 NJ. Hermite
adopted the plan of sending up bal
looms fitted out with self registering
instruments These balloons have
been brought up to what is consid-
cred perfection. They are very light,
the average capacity being only $50
cubic feet of gas With these a sys-
tematic exploration Of the upper re-
gions of the air is being made, and it
is said that some of them have at
tanned height of 36, 900 feet. st.

Teddy's Lesson.

Come, Teddy" said Mrs. West, Its
time for the cows to come home. But
Teddy was reading story about ship
wreck and he did not want to be disturb
ell just then.
"Oh, mother, wait a little while, he
said.
A little later Hester came to the door.
Teddy, you ought to get the cows
she said.
Bother the cows!" replied Teddy cross
", and his sister went away.
Soon mans face appeared at the win
dow
Edward, the cows" said Mr.. West,
and when his father spoke like that Teddy
lost no time in obeying.
Sulkily he laid down his book and walk
ed through the kitchen, where his mother
and sister We're cooking supper, and his
father was piling up the kindling WOOD
for the mornings fire,
Il hate cows" Teddy grumbled as he
walked slowly across the pine floor.
"They'r re bother, and wish nobody
had any. Cows are no good anyway, just
In the way. l hate cowsf'
An hour later the COWS were safe in the
barn for the night, and Teddy was In
better humor. He was hungry, too, after
the walk to the meadow and back In the
fresh, bracng air.
A fine round of meat was smoking on
the table, but there was none on Teddy's
plate.
This is beef" said Mr.. West II did
not give you any because you hate COWS,
Teddy"
Teddy opened his mouth and then closed
1t again without saying word.
Il won't give you any butter, Teddy"
said Mrs. West, because we get our but
ter from the cows, and you hate them SO. !"
Cows are such bother" she said So
berly "Iknow you don't want any milk. !"
Teddy looked wistfully at the plate of
creamy cheese, but 1t was passed TO every
one but him. But, worst of all, when the
custards were brought in, sweet and
brown in their little white cups, Teddy
was passed by.
"Of course you wouldn't eat custards,
for they are made mostly of milk, and
COWS are no good" said Aunt Hetty.
Teddy looked IA II he would cry,
Ill haven't had anything to eat" he
blurted. Just bread without any but
ter, and potatoes and water. l wish I
hadn't said those things about the COWS. p"
Everybody smiled then, and no one OBJ

Ninth and Walnut streets Both were

to be long one, and the men, though
evidently strangers, began chatting
pleasantly on the condition of the
weather and other stock subjects.
Finally the 'pahson, with compre-
hensive glance over the uniform which
the other wore, asked:
