BASE BALL.

The third of the series of games be-
tween lola and Hartford was played
last Thursday and won by the lola
team. Hartford plays good ball, but
"Pomp" was too much for them, and
he was given good support through
the entire game which resulted in a
victory for the Blues with a score
of to II.
The Chanute professionals came up
Monday and played the return game
with the Blues, and of course, won
the game, as everybody expected
they would, with a score of IA to 2.
The Chanute Club are all big men
and when the Blues lined up beside
them they looked like little boys.
The shut-Out that Chanute tried so
hard for did not.materialize.
Tuesday the Buffalo club came up
and played the first game of the SER
les in the afternoon. 1t was one OF
the best games of the season. Up to
the last half of the ninth inning the
score stood to in favor of lola, but
in the last half Buffalo made some
costly errors that let in five runs,
making the score stand to l at the
finish. Christian was in the box for
lola and pitched fine game. The
two games scheduled for Wednesday
were postponed on account of the
rain.
Louy Harris and Frank Porter, Oul
pitcher and second baseman of EN-
poria, who have been playing with
/ the Blues this summer, left Tuesday
for their home to prepare for re-enter
ing school. The two young men arr
good ball players and while here
made many friends among the bas'
ball lovers.
We understand the Blues have dis
| banded for the season.

How Florence Nightingale Once Nursed .
Wounded nOg.
There is beautiful story told of
Florence Nightingale, the famous
| nurse OF the Crimesn war. which shows
that when she was a child she had the
nursing instinct strongly developed.
Her wounded patient was a Scotch
shepherd dog. Some boys had hurt
and apparently broken its leg by
throwing stones, and it had been de-
cided to hang it to put it out of its
misery.
The little girl went fearlessly up to
where he lay, saying in q soft, csress-
ing tone, Poor Cap; poor cap" It
was enough. He looked up with his
speaking brown eyes, now bloodshot
and full of pain, into her face, and did
not resent it when, kneeling down be-
side him she stroked with her little
ungloved hand the large, intelligent
head
To the vicar he was rather less
amenable, but By dint of coaxing he
at last allowed him to touch and ex-
anime the wounded leg. Florence
persuasively telling him that it was
all right" Indeed. she was on the
floor beside him, with his head on her
lap, keeping up continuous murmur,
much as a mother does over a sick
child. "Well,'' said the vicar, rising
from his examination, 80 far as 1 can
tell there are no bones broken; the leg
is badly bruised. 1t ought to be To-
mented to take the Inflammation and
swelling down"
How do you foment?" asked Flor
ence.
with hot cloths dipped in boiling
water" answered the vicar.
Then that's quite easy. I'll stay
and do it Now, Jimmy, get sticks
and make the kettle boil"
There was no hesitation in the child's
manner. She was told what ought to
be done, and she set about doing it as
q simple matter of course.
But they will be expecting you at
home" said the vicar.
Not if you tell them I'm here" an
swered Florence. And my sister and
one of the maids can come and take
me home in time for tea, and" she
hesitated, "they had better bring some
old flannel and cloths; there does not
seem to be much here. But you will
wait and show me how to foment
won't your
well, yes" said the vicar, carried
away by the quick energy of the little
girl And soon the fire was lit and the
water boiling. An old smock frock of
the shepherd had been discovered in a
corner, which Florence had Deliberate
ly torn to pieces. and to the wears re-
mark. What will Roger say?" she
answered.: We'll get him another"
And so Florence Nightingale made her
first compress and spent all that bright
spring day in nursing her first patient,
the shepherds dog.-E verywhere.

ing in?
So you say go forth, and all the
people of God go forth. and they stretch
forth their hand over the sea. the boil
ing sea of crime and sin and wretched-
ness. at don't amount to anything"
people say. Don't it? Gods winds of
help will, after awhile, begin to blow.
A path will be cleared for the army of
Christian philanthropists- The path
will be lined with the treas
ures of Christian benefcence,
and we shall be greeted to
the other beach by the clapping
of all Heavens cymbals, while those
who pursued rs aud derided us and
tried to destroy Us, will go down under
the sea, and all that will be left Of
them will be cast high and dry upon
the beach, the spliniered wheel of q

coURTsHIP AND MARRIAGE
Curious Customs Practiced In other
Parts of the World.

EerG8 OF tho WorAus
Some Of the customs peculiar to
courtship and marriage among the race
of dwarfs who inhabit the AndamaD
island are, according to NJ de Quat-
refages. who recently published book
called The Pygmies," about these peo-
pie, very peculiar. Not the least re-
markable of them Is the procedure Of
courtship. The young man who has
made his choice addresses himself to
the parents, who never refuse. but send
the girl into the forest, where, before
day, she conceals herself. The young
man must find her.
II he does not succeed he must re-
nounce all claim to her. The wedding
ceremony of these people is equally
curious. II. Quatrefages thus describes
It: The two parties climb two fex-
ible trees growing near each other,
which an old man then makes to bend
toward each other. When the head OF
the man touches that OF the girl they
are legally married" Turning from
Asia TO Europe, we find very curious
custom prevailing IN Roumania- Among
the peasantry Of this country, when
girl attains a manageable age ben
trousseau, which has IN the mean
while been carefully woven. spun and
embroidered by her mother and herself
is placed in painted wooden box
When young man thinks Of asking
to be allowed 10 pay his attentions to
the girl he is at liberty to open the box
which h always placed IN a convenient
position. and examine the rousseau
