SECOND GAME
Rowling Notes.

In the bowling circles things are moving
at lively gait and the interest in the
game increases. The bowling of the week
was quite exciting. The league games
on the alleys of the Saengerbund Club
were Claimed to be the best games of
the season. The scores We're exceedingly
high. the CAROLS losing both games, their
score for each game being 1877 pins, which
was beaten by II and IA pins, in the first
ana second games, respectively, by, the
Saengerbund Eowlers. 1t is very seldom
that there are two games so close at sush
q high Score.
The CAROLS lost two games 20 The Saen-
gerbund Monday, making them a tie With
the Washington Athletic Club for second
place, while the Saengerbund players have
a good lead. which may, however, be cut
down the latter part of the season. In
Guiding the game played last evening,
there are thirIy-six more games for each
ciub to bowl So far only one-quarter of
the games have been rolled.
Miller played on the two games of the
Carroll Institute during the week and made
an excellent showing his aver age being
1876. He made his first appearance at the
game last Friday evening against the
Washington Athletic Club He Is a good
addition to the team, and will doubtless
make a good showing.
Only one game Is scheduled for next
week. and that for Monday evening be-
tween the Carroll Institute and the Wash
ington Saengerbund on the alleys of the
former club. There will be no playing
during the Christmas holidays, and no
game is scheduled after Mondays contest
until The evening of January 4.

loyalty by engaging In scrimmages between
the halves, and were with difficulty sep

An adventurous Eastern lad climbed one
of the goal posts and triumphantly pinned

ers surrounded the pole and challenged the
CentralS to take them down. One of the
Centrals with well-aimed stone. brought
down the colors, which were rescued by the
Fasteners after severe struggle Then
the police interfered.
Capt. Jolly Of the Centrals won the toss

the rushe5 of the Eastern lads, received

him out for several minutes.

rushes of Albert and Oyster. The hopes
of the Central rooters were cast down when

their second touchdown. Oyster failed at
goal. Score, Sc.
The rest of the half the ball was forced
up and down the field. Once the Easterns'
goal was in danger. but the lads braced

THEY SWING THEIR ARMS.
This La the Terrible Charge Brought
Against Bicycle Girls


Against Bicycle Girls.
The queer habit men have of regard
ing women as mysterious beings whose
actions and modes of thought are quite
incomprehensible, was amusingly il
lustrated recently by writer who won
dered, through a. column and more,
why women, when walking, seemed
embarrassed about how to dispose of
their hands. The custom of the sex of
carrying purse, card-case, umbrella OF
other something was explained to be
an effort to solve the question of what
should be done with her hands. Most
peculiar, SO it was averred, and very un-
like the habit of men. 1t is indeed quite
true that the sexes on the streets man
age their hands and arms after differ
ent fashions, but unlikeness in this par
ticular is ar:ificially produced, as the
wondering writer could have easily as
certained if he had taken the trouble to
investigate.
Men of high and low and all inter
mediate grades swing their arms as
they walk; that beautiful, natural and
comfortable movement is not permit
ted to a woman or girl with any pre-
tensions to good breeding. Don't swing
your arms is among the earliest of the
appalling long calendar of ''Don'ts" pre-
pared exclusively for girls. In fact,
among the very awful sins that conserv-
ative people charge against the bicycle
girl is that when off her wheel she
strides '.along and swings her arms"
What she should do, according to these
eensors. of course, is to glue her ell
bows to her sides and to take lady-like
steps. However, athletics is likely
more and more to claim the homage of
woman, and it is more than possible
that ere long convention will permit
her arms to swing as freely as those of
her brother, and when that time arrives
one more woman mystery" will be dis
sipated.-Philadelph Times.

a MISSED KISS.
The Reason Why Two Ambassadors Lost
Their Places


Two ambassadors have lost their
places through their failure TO take ad-
vantage afforded them to kiss the hand
of the czarina. says the Seattle Post
Intelligencer. Count Montebello- the
French ambassador. lost his place 1t
is not made known whether he only
obeved orders or not. hut he had 10 sui
fer the penalty. 1t was very unfcr-
tunate for him that when the French
people through their government had
undertaken to show their friendship for
Russia by a most lavish display of os-
tentatious ceremony and the eNpendi-
ture of many millions of dollars the
entire effect should be lost by the fail
ure of the chief functionary TO press
his lips to the imperial hand
The other ambassador who lost his
position is Prince Radalin, the repre-
sentative at the Russian court of the
German empire. No reason Is given for
his omission to observe a customary act
of homage. He had mot the excuse of
being the minister from a republic He
represented a court where such cere-
monies are strictly observed and an i'm
perial master who is strict in re
curing observance of court etiquette
as the Russian emperor These pun
ishments should be warning to all men
never to lose favorable opportunity
to kiss a lady's hand. Many man has
lived to regret that he has not seized
n suitable occasion to snatch kiss;
there seems TO be more danger in being
too remiss than in being too bold. Where
the danger lies and how great IL viii be
either in abstaining or acting is mat
ter for individual judgment. But it is

CURIOUS CLOCKS.
How Some People of Foreign Lands
Reckon Time.


Reckon Time.
Neither clock nor timepiece is to be
found in Liberia. The reckoning of
time is made entirely by the movement
and position of the sun, which rises at
six a. IN. and sets at six p. m, almost
to the minute, all the year round, and
at noon is vertically overhead, says
Popular Science News. The islanders
of the South Pacific have no clocks,
but make an ingenious and reliable
time marker of their own. They take
the kernel from the nuts of the candle
tree and wash and string them on the
rib of a palm leaf. The first or top
kernel is then lighted. All of the ker-
enls are of the same size and substance,
and each will burn a certain number of
minutes and then set fire to the cne
next below. The natives tie pieces of
black cloth at regular intervals along
the string to mark the divisions of time.
Among the natives of Singar, in the
Malay archipelago, another peculiar
device is used. Two bottles are placed
neck and neck, and sand is put in one
of them, which pours itself into the
other every half hour, when the bottles
are reversed. There is line near by.
also, on which are hung II rods with
notches from one to twelve.

HOUSEHOLD SCIENCE.

The chemical constituents of the
mushroom are almost identical with
those of meat, and it possesses the same
nourishing properties.
For removing grease spots from white
linen or cotton goods use soap or weak
Ives; for colored calicoes, warm soap
suds; for woolens, soapsuds of am
monia; for silks, benzine, ether, mag
nesia chalk.
Fresh fish, if wrapped in a clcth
wrung from the brine and kept fl ON
contact with each other, VIII keep
longer than in any other way. Sprink-
ling meat or fish with charcoal or thick
ly with red or black pepper has ten
dency to arrest decay.
One of the most simple and at the
same time most effectual ways in which
to remove a fishbone or other substance
lodged in the throat is, according to
the Medical Times. to give the patient
a pint of milk and 40 minutes after
wards an emetic of suIphate of zinc.

GOSSIP OF EUROPEANS.

Lothair Won Faber, of the great PEN
cil-making family of Nuremberg, left
at his recent death $4,000 to beautify
that city.
Eyvind Astrup, Peary's companion,
who perished in a Norwegian snow
storm last Christmas, has now a me-
mortal stone 90 feet high erected in his
memory in the forest of Holmonkollen,
at Christiania.
When Goethe was first in love he
carved upon a tree in a neighboring
forest couple of hearts united by
scroll, and little later received a sound
thrashing from the forester for damag-
ing the tree.
An English baronet, Sir Sayille Cross

1T is not generally KNOWN" says a

course, only the lower grades can be
raised in so cold climate, but we sup
