WORDS WITHOUT A RHYME.
English Language Contains Several
which Poets Dislike.


New York Press.
There are a dozen words n the En-
glish language in every day use for
which enterprising people have dis
paired of ever finding q rhyme. Tie
word ''moLth," for example, in one of
these Silver is another word 1t
seems easy to secure a rhyme for AS
a matter of fact, trying to and some
thing that will rhyme with silver
nearly drove a London writer of verse
insane long ago. AS a last resort he
advertised in the newspapers and re-
ceived but one reply. 1t came from the
master Of verbal eontortion, w. S. Gil
bert, Sir Arthur SullivlIi's erstwhile
partner, who submitted the word Pchii-
YER" He wasn't quite clear he said,
as to what a chilver might be, but he
had seen the word in advertisements of
sales of farm stock and had an idea,
which is correct, that it described
species of sheep.
Orange" is another word without
rhyme. "Gulf, is also without an Eng
fish partner, and .'culm" and "cusp"
are alike solitary. Many poets have
sought in vain for rhymes to revenge"
and "avenge" will not be appeased
when they learn that but two exist
''penge" and "Stonehenge." "Coif" is
now, happily for versihers, growing
obsolete, for there is no word which
rhymes with it. Scarf has been dar-
ingly linked at the end of a line with
half or calf" but this is practice
to be discouraged. Scalp" rhymes
only with Alp" but, like .Ebabe' and
"astrolabe," it would require much in
genuity to find an excuse for bringing
these words into juxtaposition. False
has on several occasions, by an abuse
of poetic license, been associated with
"valse,', though the correct French pro-
nunciation Of the latter word would
destroy the rhyme.
Of the names of places, the African
town of Tirnbuctoo has long been
famous for being without rhyme The
nearest success that any poet has ever
attained in this respect was when, in
some old verses describing a desert
hunt, "cassowary'' was made to rhyme
with missionary" and 'Timbuctoo"
with thin buck, too"

A BABOON HUNT.

fight successfully with hyenas and other
beasts Of prey, rushed toward the ba

their mouths wide and showed their
glittering teeth, and looked at the adj
versarfes SO furiously and maliciously
that the hounds, usually bold and
battle-hardened, shrank back By the
time the dogs were encouraged to re-
new their attack, the whole herd had
made their way, covered by the rear
guard, to the rocks, except a x-month
old monkey, which was left behind.
The little monkey sat on a low rock
surrounded by the dogs, but was res
cued by an old baboon, who stepped
down from the cliff near, advanced
toward the dogs, kept them in check
by gestures and menacing sounds,
picked up the baby monkey, and car
ried 1t to the cliff, where the dense
crowd of monkeys, shouting their bat

When Mrs. Mosquito is ready to Law

larvae are called .'wrigglers" When
the wriggler is ready to emerge into

LARRY PLAYED TO WIN.
He Says That Is Why He Had to
Quit,


Larry. Twitchell, who played first base for
st. Paul in the game with Winona yesterday
and who is to be placed in center field by
Manager Comiskey, is ball player of ability
even though he was permitted to drop out
of the Milwaukee club. His faults are open
ones, but it seems that the Milwaukee man
agement found peculiar grievance against
him. according to the Milwaukee Journal,
which says:
There is impression among base ball
patrons of Milwaukee" said Twitchell 'that
l had been discharged as manager and play
er. Such is not the case. | resigned as man
ager and voluntarily dropped all connection
with the team. The story to the effect that
my resignation was demanded is not true.
That there were those in the directory who
desired to see me discharged from the team
l have no doubt, but they did not have the
opportunity. l have worked hard enough
well. let it go at that.
ITO satisfy my friends said Mr.. Twichell
Il will say that my leaving the Milwaukee
base ball club was because l was asked by
one of the directors, while l was playing win
ming ball on the home grounds, when 1 ex-
pected to lose.
81 told him that I expected to win all the
time; that that was what the Milwaukee team
was in the game for He told me that it
was not policy, from a financial point of view
to be winning invariably; that l should lose
a game occasionally in order to keep up in
terest in the sport. To this / objected In
all my base ball career l have endeavored to
play winning game, and when I was ap-
preached by one who attempted to shatter
the public's confidence in me- l decided that
1t was best to retire.
Twitchell has not only been famous as
pitcher, but also as man who could hit the
ball. In 1889, on July 8, out of six times at
bat, he made total of eighteen, bases and
seven runs, which is record unbroken up
to this day.
In the Brotherhood organization Twitchell
was an important factor, being member of
the executive committee with Ward and Ham
lon. In 1891 he went to Omaha, pitching and
also playing in the field. From there he went
to Columbus. The Milwaukee management
Under his management and hard driving Of
the players by him, the team finished second
in the Western league race. At the close of
later had charge of the bail department Of
the Columbus, o., Dispatch. In 1893 he played
with the Macon, Ca, team in the Southern
league.

CANADIANS IN 1T.
Took Nearly Everything at the
Cleveland Regetta.

CLEVELAND, O., Aug 13.-A splendid
sailing breeze continuing steady from day
break until nightfall, made the regatta events
today very much of success, despite the
fact that the sea was a trife too rough for
fast time. The four races scheduled for the
day came off, in addition to race between
the Say When, of Cleveland, and the En-
quirer, of Buffalo, two swift steam yachts.
In the schooner class over fifty-five feet the
only starters were the Priscilla, of Cleveland
built on the Atlantic as a sioop to defend
the Americas cup, and the Crusader of Chi
cago. The latter was not in racing trim, but
entered out Of compliment to the Priscilla,
whose owners had made preparation for the
contest. The Priscilla won in 2:45:2S. the
course being 81 miles. The Vencedor, of
Chicago, the challenger that will race the
Canada for the international championship
of the great lakes, showed her fine qualities
in the ffty-fiye foot class. As on the day before
the Canadians demonstrated that they are
fine sailors and have speedy yachts, and they
captured nearly everything. The results of
the four races on the programme were as
follows:
Schooners over f1fty-fve feet, twenty-one
mile course-Priscilla, Cleveland actual time
2:45:2S; Crusader, Chicago, actual time,
4:20:02.

To avoid accidents the steam yachts raced
on a straight course from Fairport to the
Cleveland Yacht clubhouse thirty miles. The
Say When and the Enquirer started even but
the latter caught her best pace the soonest
and forged ahead short distance The posi-
tons thus taken were maintained to the
finish, the Enquirer passing between the
home stake boats twenty-eight seconds ahead
Of the Say When. The actual time was

which coral was growing.

An attempt is now being made under the
auspices Of the Royal Society, to ascertain
the actual thickness of a coral reef An ex-
petition has started from Sydney, in her
maiesty's ship Penguin, In order to make a
deep boring at Funafurti, one of the Ellice
islands. The idea was started five or six
years ago by Prof. Sollas, Of Dublin, and
after discussion at meetings of the British
association was brought before the govern
ment grant committee of the Royal Society
last year, by whom 1t was referred to the
council Of that society. This body made APP
plieation to the admiralty, who permitted
her majesty's ship Penguin, now engaged in
surveying those seas, to convey the mem
bers Of the expedition and their apparatus
thither from Sydney, and to assist them
during the progress of the work. The gov
eminent Of New South Wales, on being APP
preached by Prof. Stuart, of the University
of Sydney, and other men Of science in that
place, has loaned to the expedition all the
plant necessary for boring and its own
