The Czechs.

Tho Nationalist movement In Bo
hemia has always labored under pc
ouliar difficulties owing to the bitter
animosity between tho rival races
in that country. Roughly speaking,
1000, 900 of the inhabitants arc
Czechs and 1000, 600 are Germans,
and the two nations hate each other
moro bitterly, moro intensely and
moro unreasonably than over a Tip
porary boy yet has hated an Ulster
man. A Czech regards German
as tho devil's own handiwork, while
tho golden Tipped himsolf would
never persuade German that there
was anything good or useful in o
Czech. This racial hatred is inten.
sified by GLASS distinctions, for the
Germans aro moro wealthy and
more cultured than tho Czechs, and
until within quite recent years they
have had the full control of the ma.
tional industries. They are fiercely
opposed to the demand of tho Ma
tionalists that Bohemia shall be al.
lowed to manage her internal affairs
without let or hindranoe from Aus
tria, Autonomy for their country
means all power in the hands of the
Czcchs, they maintain, and they
have no fancy for placing their
rights as citizens at the moI ~ OF

Length of tho Law.

Some faint idea of the bulk of the
English records may be obtained by
advcrting to tho fact that single
statute, the land tax commissioners
act, passed in the first year of the
reign of George ~, measures, when
unrolled, upward of 900 feet.

OLD BIRDS, NESTS.

Ones Year After Year.

Many Feathered Creatures Use the Same
Ones Year After Year.
"That common expression for worth
lessness, 1t has no more value than a
last years birds nest, said q bird
fancier to O New York Press reporter,
''is often far from correct. The ajority
of our birds do leave their nests after
raising brood, but many do not, and
their nests are used through success
sion of years. 1 haYe known some birds
to use their nests ten years iii success
sion, and SO persistent are they that
many times the female will return even
after the nest has been robbed aud the
mate killed. Among these users of Pc
rennial nests are the wrens, some Of
the swallow family, bluebirds, great
crested hycatcher, some Of the owls,
eagles, chickadees and some woodpeck-
ers.
"They repair to the nest each year
and often build it over. A little wren
has made its nest i'll hole in tree in
my garden and has occupied it for the
last eight years. Each year it has piled
on new stuff till the hole is almost
filled up Some say that as soon as 1t
becomes crowded the birds will clean 1t
out. know of bluebird's nest that
has been occupied for several years 1t
is the same female year after year, for
she has two back wing feathers and is
lame
Birds that build in exposed situa-
tions, like hangbirds, always build
anew each season, and some others
build anew for every brood. Some never
build. They either lay in the nests Of
other birds or in tho sand. The eagle
and the owl make framework Of sticks
and slight repairs are needed. Many
birds nests that You find have never
been used. For instance. the marsh wren
builds several with the idea that in the
case of disturbance the male will at
tract attention to the nests other than
that in which the female is brooding
aud so shield her from enemies"

The CHURCH oF sT. SOPHIA.
One Of the Most Daring Conceptions In
the Reuurd of Human building

One OF the Most Daring Conceptions In
the Record of Human building.
The Church of st. Sophia at Con-
stantinoplo is, next to tho Pantheon
at Rome, the most central and his
torio edifice still standing erect. It
is now in its fourteenth century of
continuous and unbroken use, and
during tho whole Of that vast epoch
It has never ceased to be the imperial
fame of the eastern world, nor has
1t ever, as the Pantheon, been DESC
late and despoiled. It's influence
over eastern architecture has been
almost as wide as that of the Pan
theon over western architecture, and
it has boon far more continuous. 1t
was one of tho most original, daring
and triumphant conceptions in tho
whole record of human building,
and Mr.. Ferguson declares it to be
internally "the most perfect and
beautiful church ever yet erected by
any Christian people" Its interior
is certainly the most harmonious,
most complete and least faulty of
all the great domed and round
arched temples. 1t unites sublimity
of construction with grace of detail,
splendor of decoration with inde-
struotible material
Itavoids the conspicuous faults of
the great temples of Rome and of
Florence, while it is far richer in
decorative effect within than our
own st. Paul's or the Pantheon of
Paris. Its glorious vesture of mar
bic, mosaic, carving and cast metal
is unsurpassed by the richest of the
Gothic cathedrals and is far moro
enduring. Though twice as old as
Westminster abbey, it has suffered
less dilapidation and will long out
last it. It's constructive mass and
its internal ornamentation far ex-
ceed in solidity the slender shafts,
the paintings and tho stained glass
of the Gothic churches. In the mas
terly type the mind is aroused by
the infinite subtlety of the oonstruo-
tion, and the eye is delighted with
the inexhaustible harmonies of a su-
perb design worked out in most
gorgeous materials.
For Justinian and his successors
ransacked the empire to find the
most precious materials for the
great church. The interior is
still one vast pile Of marble, por-
phyry and polished granite, white
marbles with rosy streaks, green
marbles, blue and black, starred or
veined with white. The pagan tenn
pies were stripped Of their columns
and capitals. Monoliths and colossal
slabs were transported from Rome
and from tho Nile, from Syria, Asia
Minor and Greece, so that, with tho
Pantheon at Rome, this Is the one
example of grand structure Of an.
oiont art which still remains unruin-
ed. The gilded portals, the jewels,
pearls and gold of tho altar, the
choir adornments of cedar, amber,
ivory and silver have been long de-
stroyed by the greedy soldiers of
the cross, and the mosaios above,
with soraphim, apostles, prophets
and Christ in glory, have been COW
cred up but not destroyed by the
fierce soldiers of Mohammed. Fort

snappy, full-of-life game Of ball as
Larry Twitchells aggregation is at
present doing. If this is doubted in
quire Of Managers Watkins, Lotus.
Ellis and Vanderbeck. These genial
fellows will inform you that they
struck something like a cyclone in the
neighborhood of Milwaukee. It is a
pleasure to watch the steady improve
ment of the Brewers. Each player
seems to have only one object in view,
and that is to win out games. Rettger,
Baker and Nonnomaker are doing gilt
edged work in the box, and Barnes
may come around all right. At pres
ent he is not to the good behind the
bat. Spears and Outcalt's steady work
is worthy of mention, and there is no
surer hitter on the team than Spear.
II there ever was an improved player
Stafford is one. In fielding and batting
he has developed into one of the best
in the League. Hartman, Taylor and
Wetterer are easily the best in their
positions seen here this season. These
men are doing good work on the coach
ing line. Twitchell, Mezena, Weaver
and Nicol guard the outfield as il
should be, their work the past two
weeks being the best seen on the local
grounds for some time. If the Brewers
present fast gait can be kept up they
will surely be leading the procession
ere long. Captain Twitchell has his
eye on the ball, and of late has picked
up wonderfully in batting. The phe-
nomenal work of Wetterer is the talk
Of managers throughout the League.
Tom Lotus and Peck" Sharpe we're
welcome visitors last week.
Tommy" Mccarthy worked the out
field trap ball trick on the Cincinnatis
recently, and followed it by catching
Germany" Smith off second when the
Reds" short stop thought Mac"
might make another muff.
Dan Brouthers says that in 1894 he
considered Rusie the hardest man in
the, League to hit. He attributed this
to his terrific speed and change of pace.
He believes, however, that Rusie has
seen his best days.
According to Washington claim
Billy Lush can make faster time to the
first bag than any right-handed bats
man among the Senators, and 1t is
doubtful If any player in the major
League who Yields the stick from the
starboard side can beat him.
In Minneapolis one day last week
Umpire Charley Snyder had to be es-
corted to his hotel by policemen, to es-
cape mob, and in St. Paul the next
day Umpire Mcdonald was chased into
the players dressing room by the
crowd and kept prisoner for several
hours. T. E. SULLIVAN.

icle about the Senatorial pitching staff,
writes a Washington critic. And we
are beginning to ask, with John Saun-
ders, why did. New York release
him." In his first game he was
knocked out Of the box; at st. Louis he
pitched one bad inning only; he let
the Louisville club down with one hit
in five innings, and then held the Colts
down to three runs in eight innings
This steady improvement in Germans
case ought to mean something, and
who knows but what he will, with reg
ular work, turn out to be winning
pitcher? Another player who is COM
ing right along with the procession is
Billy Lush. He has been given several
opportunities lately in the field and
has proved himself to be a good man
with the stick and fast on the bases.
He had become discouraged doing
bench duty and requested Earle Wag-
ner to farm him out, so he could get
into the game. Mr.. Wagner, however.
could not see it that way, and told him
not to be impatient, for he would not
always decorate the bench.

to play the national game at Taunton,
in that state, at an early age. After
being connected with several amateur
teams, and gaining considerable renown
as a local catcher, he accepted his first
professional engagement with the Bos-
ton club, of the American Association.
IN 1881. In 1892 he was with the
Lewiston club of the New England
League. In 1893 he was with the
Dover On. H. club. In 1894 he was
engaged by Manager James H. Man
ming for his Kansas City team, of the
Western League, taking part that year
in one hundred and twenty-four cham
pionship games, all of which were
played behind the bat, he ranking
fourth as a catcher in the official av-
erages of that organization. His fine
work that year, both at the bat and
as a catcher, attracted the attention
OF many major league clubs, but the
Chicago officials were the fortunate
ones in obtaining his services for the
season of 1895, and they have ever
since congratulated themselves on
their good luck. Donahue took part in
sixty-two championship contests dur
ing his first season with the Chicagos
and did such creditable work. both at
the bat and as catcher, that he was
reserved and afterwards signed for
this season. While not noted as a
slugger, he is what is known as
timely batter, steady and reliable
catcher, swift and accurate in his
throwing to the bases, and one who
can face all kinds of pitching with the
greatest apparent ease. He stands 5
feet II inches in height and weighs
about 10 pounds.
Before his re-entry into the Chicago
club Fred Pfeffer was released by New
York. He was laid off without pay sew
eral weeks ago and had threatened to
bring suit against the club for this
action. When President Freedman no.
titled him that his services were no
longer needed Fred asked for a ten
days notice, which would bring with
1t salary pro rata for that time. but
this was refused. Pfeffer then declared
that he would not accept the release,
but as Mr.. Freedman Immediately no.
tilted N. E. Young that Pfeffer had
been released outright he could do
nothing further. The clubs president
said in explanation of the case:
"Pfeffer cost this club nearly $1,000
for his release from Louisville and
signed a high-salaried contract. He
came here unfit to play ball and has
been out of condition ever since. Da-
Wis, our trainer, who is experienced in
handling such cases, says now that
Pfeffer is out of shape and never has
been fit since the day he reached Jack
sonville. Pfeffer, under these circum-
stances, was not entitled to a ten DAYS
notice. He has been a disturbing ele-
ment among the members of the team
and was of no use to us. He has re-
peatedly asked for his release, and
when he asked me for it he got it.
Then he wanted ten days notice, and
didn't get it."
Pfeffer threatens to sue the club for
the salary due up to date and declares
that he has all along been and is now
In proper condition to play ball.
