BASE BALL.

There has not been much base ball
talk during the iast week, but this is
not an indication that the enthusiasm
of the fans" is becoming weaker
Bucken berger has finally decided to
locate the Park on the Schmulbach
property, or the upper end OF
the Island, aud states that
he has signed two Eastern
League players who are good ones.
VIII White has also accepted the terms
Of two meu whom he put away up in
the ranks. Buck" and White promise
a winning team, and Wheeling lovers
OF the game are cOntented 10 take them
at their word. The Park will be easily
accessible, from this city as well as tho
towns on the other side OF the river
The names Of the players will not be
made public until after the meeting at
SJeubenvile on the goth, when agree
ments will be drawn up for the Inter
State aud other leagues. Buck" has
good base bal head and does not pro-
pose TO lose his players through any
premature publication.
The prospects for the League are
bright indeed. Last week Donnison
decided TO enter, and is already prepar-
ing to sign PLAYERS. 1t will draw pat
ronage from Uhrichsvile and New
Philadel phia, and will support- good
team. 1t will be sn eight club league,
aud all the towns will be good ones.
The schedule will be arranged at the
coming meeting in Steubenvile, and
travelling expenses will be kept down TO
a minimum. With a salary list OF $780,
every team should make money, and
no doubt will. IL was the Dig salary
list, aud the long railroad jumps which
caused the downfall of the old Tri-
State LEAGUE.

lawsuit in which a lady refused to take
a pair of bicycle pants because they did
not fit. The tailor declared they were
according to the measures given him,
and he did not take the measures. The
article wound up by prophesying a for
tune in store for the tailor who could
take a lady's measure correctly and not
infringe the laws of modesty, or words
to that effect. I was surprised, for
know that many old Ards in our pro-
fcssion can do that. For the benefit of
the rising generation'I submit the adj
joining formula:
''The acknowledged difficulty in talk
ing the measures for ladies' bifurcated
neither garments is how to get the leg
seam. BY using this method there is,
as Mr.. Podsnap would remark, no oc-
casion to bring blush on the cheek of
young person
''First take the length from point A
to the ground, then ask the lady to take
a seat on hat-bottomed chair, and
take the measure from C to D; deduct
this from the first measure and you
have the leg seam, @ E D."

castle.
"When the men came down from
among the shrouds they helped theiz
wounded shipmate to his hammock,
and then held a council of war. They
decided to again go to the captain and
lay before him an ultimatum. This was
done, the men declaring that they
would quit the ship at the first port un-
less the mate was turned down. Tho
captain explained that johnson had
shipped under a contract, and all that;
as soon as possible. This answer had
to satisfy us, though every one of US
vowed vengeance on that mate, and
we again went back to work.
Things went on this miserable way
until we rounded the Horn and started
men, named Randall-George Randall
fell sick. He was delicate sort of q
chap, anyhow, and every body predicted
he wouldn't come back TO New Bedford
when he shipped with MS. Well, as /
said, he fell sick, and vvaa SO feeble ono
morning that he couldn't show on deck.
When the rest of us had lined up the
second mate noticed Randalrs absence
and asked with an oath where he was.
Some one replied that he was sick.
Randall had been one of the leaders in
the protest. which had been made to
the captain about the mate, and john
son knew it, and recognized his chance
to get even. Going into the forecastle
he began abusing poor Randall, and
ordered him to get up and go to work.
The sick man replied that he couldn't do
it, and with that the mate grabbed him
by the throat and literally dragging
him out on the deck and over to a pile
of rope yarns, ordered him to make a
ball Of sennit. Poor Randall, pale as a
ghost, and that feeble that he could
hardly raise his hand, was too weak and
afraid to make any resistance, and be-
gan twisting the yarn as best he could.
All of q sudden the slow motion of his
hands ceased, his body swayed once or
twice, and then fell over, face for
ward. Alexander, O Norwegian sailor
who was one of the sick mans chuns,
and myself rushed over to help tho
poor fellow, but when we raised him
up and looked into his face we saw at q
glance that he was dead. He had been
killed by cruelty.
''Seeing us bending over Randal1's
body the second mate came forward
matter. He might have seen for him
self If he hadn't been demon, but we
told him-and then happened the most
horrible thing it has ever been my mis-
fortune to see. With the laugh of q
fend johnson cried:
"sHe's dead, is he? Well, just watch
me bring the cur to ,lifel' And with
that he raised his foot and gave the
poor corpse kick full in the face.

voir (A) on the hill is SO feet above tho
buildings and connected with the

distance between spring and reservoir

In the same drain with pipe (E) is laid

These are supplied from the larger ono

place the large reservoir high enough
to make use of gravity as means OF

the water can be pumped direct from

WOMAN AND HOME.
TO CLEAN CARPETS.

Care and Strength Arc Needed, But 10
Can BE Done ut Home.
It is often the cosc that accidents
happen when one is far away from a
cleaners or when, perchance, the
carpet may not be worth the expense
of the professionals services, but
would be extremely useful If put in
good order.
A simple and efectual means of
cleaning it is to rip the breadths apart,
if the carpet is large; take one breadth
at . time oven . common kitchen table
CIR wide board and scour with prepared
soapsuds, If necessary, or naphtha. If
that substance Is to be used, scrub
the carpet thoroughly with an ordinary
scrub brush. If tho washing is done
with soapsuds, It is we'll to rinse the
carpet thoroughly, which may be done
by throwing on pailfuls of water
and scrubbing it out with the brush to
rid the fabric of the suds as nearly as
may be. If the carpet shows
symptoms of fading, or if the colors
threaten to run, it is quite worth while
to go over it again and again with the
brush and with soft cloths and re-
move the wafer as rapidly as possible,
meanwhile having the board or table
tipped at an angle SO as to allow all
surplus water to drain away as quickly
as It can. This is rather slow work
and hard work; but if well done, the
result will be a carpet entirely cleaned,
perfectly wholesome and quite good
enough for an upper room or for the
rugs and pieces that are required in

How to Keep Ants Away.

In a recent issue of the Old Home
stead, we read this about keeping ants
away, and as it may help some bee
keeper who is troubled by ants, we
give it a place here: Rub a light film
coat Of balsam Peru around near the
bottom of table or kitchen safe legs
Just narrow band will do-and renew
tho balsam every two or three weeks.
This will keep ants away from tables,
kitchen safes, etc, and what they. hold
or contain, provided there is no other
ANYWAY than up the legs One drop of
halsam Peru spread around the upper
part of strip bottle will keep the
ants away for months. Boil one ounce
of balsam Peru in one gallon of rain
water for half an hour, and sponge this
water, while hot, over wooden floors
and walls, and it will keep ants away
for a long time.

and he jerked the corpse up and shooh
it, and threw II down again. and kicked
1t around and around the deck, cursing
all the while like a maniac.
''By this time the captain had been
attracted by the noise and came out to
sec what was up. He was Mortified and
ordered the inlluman creature to stop
his ghastly work and go aft.
THAT settled it. We determined to
take the case Of the second mate in our
own hands that very night and avenge
our wrongs and the indignities heaped
upon our dead comrade as swiftly as
possible. That evening the wind low
cred and we were becalne1. Before
eight o'clock our plans had been laid.
We were to break out in open mutiny
and demand the mates life from the
captain, in whose cabin, with prob
ably some premonition of the doom IN
store for him, the villain had taken
refuge. If the captain proved unwill-
ing we were to go into the cabin and
get him anyhow. As we suspected, the
captain would not listen toNs. There
upon two men seized him and held him
fast, while we went after the monster
who had been making our lives a hell.
Each man of us had a knife, and
when we appeared at the door of the
cabin the mate read in our faces what
we intended to do. Alexander, the
Norwegian, was in advance, and to him
the cowardly cur fell on his knees and
began begging for his life. There was
no delay, and not a word was spoken.
With one swift, sure blow with this
knife I hold in my hand, Alexander
leaned forward and struck the cover
ing mate full in the heart. AS silently
as the deed had been done, we picked
up the hated body and, carrying it to
the railing, flung it into the sea.
1.-The next morning poor Randa1ls
body was shrouded and sunk with due
solemnity, and then each one of us
went to Capt. Edwards and placed our
selves under his commands egain.
.'When we reached Valparaiso we
were. tried before the American consul
on the charge of murder and mutiny
on the high seas. But the captain did
not press the cases, and when, aye told
the consul our story We were all dis
charged.
THAT is the history behind this rusty
old knife you see here. May the good
Lord deliver me from such another ex-
perience!"

a wELL-kEPT HAND.


Il May 10 Acquired by Anyone Relieving
These Directions.
A beautiful hand Is not always posi-
bio to acquire, but a thoroughly we'll
kept ono may be had without the art OF
manicure, and by even simpler meas
ures than these recommended In VOgue:
To begin with, the hands should always
be washed in very hot water, or, better
vet, in warm oatmeal water. Failing
this, a few drops of tincture of benzoin
in the water add greatly to the white
ness and softness Of the skin, and also
conduce to the identifying of the nails.
When the hands are thoroughly clean,
rinse them in clean, warm water, int,

soft towel and Immediately rub them
with the following mixture: One part
pure glycerine, one part lemon juice,
one part rosewater. This can be pre-
pared either for immediate use oD kept
In a bottle for three or four days at q
time.
Twice q week the nails may be
rubbed with this varnish: Half an
ounce pistachio oil, 80 grains table salt,
33 grains powdered rosin, 38 grains
ground alum, 80 grains melted white
wax, Q grains fine carmine. These in
gradients should be thoroughly mixed
over spirit lamp, made into a kind of
pomatum and preserved In q small
glass or porcelain jar. 1t should be APP
Piled to the nail by a tiny wad of medi-
Gated cotton and allowed to remain for
half an hour. The thin membrane at
the root of the nail should then be
carefully pushed back with the rounded
end of an ivory nail file, and the little
s'idfe skins that often grow at the
root of the nail cut away with q pair Of
very sharp scissors. When this is done
the nail should be polished with the so-
called diamond POWDER" small
quantity of which is put on a chamois-
skin nail polisher. The hands are then
washed in hot oatmeal water, well
dried on a very fine towel, and finally
the nails are polished once more with
a soft chamOiS.
