Snakes With Two Heads.

"a two headed snake" sounds like q
fairy tale. But two headed snakes exist,
says the New York World. They arc COM
mon enough down on the Amazon river
and are well known to the native fisher
men who get their living in the great
Marajo bay and in the rivers running out
Of the bay and around the city of Para, on
the coast of Brazil. Sometimes an inquis-
tive traveller in those regions, he: ing talk
of two headed snakes, will openly scott at
the idea. 1.-TWO headed snakes, indeed !!
That is a story for the marines" The ma
tive fisherman does not waste time in nat

Fall River Herald: 1t remained for
the sprightly little team from Augusta
to break the Fall Rivers chain of
Victories last year, and the same team
was obliged to call the turn this sea-
son. The Augustus defeated the Fall
Rivers, Saturday in a closely contested
game, which, but for loose playing in
the last inning by Fall River. might
have lasted for several extra innings.
Weekes was in the box for Augusta,

delivery, and it was Happy Jack Ru-
perts homer that put the home team in
the game and saved the disgrace of a
whitewash. The Maine men did not
hit Ezra Lincoln hard, but their hits
came in at opportune times. and only
one was wasted. Weekes had great
support Bean at short playing a phe-
nomenal game and killing many balls
that looked like safe hits.

THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.
AT CHICAGO.

The biggest kind of a wrangle ended
the game. today. At the end of the
10th inning. it was almost too dark to
continue. bnt Keefe refused to call the
game. The Colts began to play for de-
lay and after the Bostons had scored
six runs, Keefe gave the visitors the
verdict 8 to O. Arson filed a protest
in the sixth, because Tucker threw Ev
erett to the ground as he ran by, after
making a two-base hit to left. The
men came to blows and during the fight
Everett was touched out. Dahlen fol-
lowed with a drive over the inner
fence, but Keefe would allow only three
bases on it, as the ball was returned
in time to hold the runner at that base.
Those decisions lost the game for the
Colts, who by the hardest kind of bat
ting tied the score in the ninth. The
game was one of continuous scrapping.

were splendidly supported. The score

DINING IN OTHER DAYS.


Mr.. Darcy Power, lecturing at tho
London institution on ''The Meals Of Our
Ancestors, said tho old English had
three meals day, Of which the chief meal
was taken when the work OF the day WAS
finished. The first meal was at 8, dinner
was about o'clock, and supper was taken
just before bedtime. The Norlnans dined
ct tho old English breakfast time or lit
tic later and supped at z p. m. In Tudor
times the higher classes dined Mt II and
supped at s, but the merchants seldom
took their meals before IL and clock.
The chief meals, dinner and supper, were
taken in the hall both by tho old English
and the Normans, for the parlor did not
come into use until the reign Of Elizabeth.
Breakfast did not become regular
meal until quito lately, and DR.. Murray,
In The Oxford Dictionary, gave 1863 as
the date Of tho earliest quotation in which
the word occurred. Tho meal did not be-
some recognized until late in the seven
teenth century, for Pepys habitually took
his draft Of half n pint Of Rhenish vino
or q dram Of strong waters In place Of a
morning meal. Dinner was always the
great meal Of the day, and from tho Access
sion of Henry Nv to the death Of Queen
Elizabeth the dinners were as sunipt ious
and extravagant AS any Of those now
served.
Carving was then u fine art. Each guest
brought his own knife and SPOON for tho
small fork was not introduced into Eng
land until Thomas Coryate Of Odcombe
published his "Crudities" In 1911. Fepys
took his spoon and fork with him to the
lord mayors feast in 1868. Tho ABSENCE
of forks led to much stress being laid upon
the act of washing the hands both before
and after meals and to the rule that the
left hand alone should BIO dipped into tho
common dish, the right hand being occu-
pied with the knife.
The perfect dinner Mt tho best time Of
English cookery consisted Of three courses,
each complete in itself, aud terminated by
q subtlety or device, the whole being
rounded of with Ypocras after which tho
guests retired into another room, where
pastry, sweetmeats and fruit were served
with the cboicer wines. The English were
essentially meat eaters. and it was 40. I'M
til the timo Of the commonwealth that
pudding attained its extraordinary popu-
larity. Indeed the first mention Of pud-
ding in the menus of the "Buckfeast' at
ST. Bartholomew hospital did net occur
until 1910, and in l7l2 is an item Of &
shillings for ieo.--London Times.

Without Effort, q to z.
Wild Pitchers and Senseless Errors
Tell Story for Home Team.
korwan Proves 4 Puzzle and Brockton Boys
Bat Like Mad.

Nothing so demoralizes a ball team
as lack of control on the part of it's
nftchers. Newell started in to pitch
for the home team yesterday. He
speedily developed sore arm. and was
taken out in the third inning. He had
very good control, and only two hits
were made off him while he was in the
box. With a week or SO to get into
shape he should be a good man for the
team; but it is evident that he is not
in condition. at the present time to do
credit either to himself or his team.
Conroy who succeeded him is a
promising man. He has plenty of
speed and good curves. But at the
present time he has not the control of
the ball to do himself justice. Regain
was wild, and when he succeeded in
getting the ball over the plate was hit
freely. McDermott pitched fairly well;
but succession of errors behind him
put Il very heavy discount upon his
work
Joe Conner was given hard row to
hoe with four different pitchers to hold,
and was kept jumping about the plate
in the effort to take care of their err
ratio delivery. Considering the disad-
vanta ges under which he worked he
acquitted himself with credit.
The fact that some of our pitchers
are out of condition to play their game
at this time should not discourage the
hackers of the team, or lead them to
pass hasty judgments upon their abil-
tiles The season is young yet and the
weather thus far has been, for the
most part raw and cold.
The club, nevertheless, feels that it
has given it's pitchers a sufficient time
now to get into condition to pitch a
full game, and secure fairly good con-
troll of the ball. 1t is probable that for
the next week, Dilworth, Weekes. and
McDermott will be worked in rotation.
There is little to be said about the
game aside from the wildness of the
Augusta pitchers, and the fine battery
work of Korwan and Shea. The home
team was weakened by the absence of
Butler from the game, necessitating
the bringing in of Conner from right
field to catch, and the playing of a
Ditcher in his Mace
McDermott essayed to play center
field in place of ]. Kelley who has been
a little off in his batting of late and II
was evident that his forte in base bal
is not the outfield.
The work of Joe Bean was gilt
edged, and Johnson made some fine
plays at second. Mike Kelley and
Doherty were about the only home
players who could touch Korwan's de-
livery making four out of the five hits
secured by the home team.
Wise, Breckenridge, Stackhouse and
Korwan did the best batting for Brock
ton, and the general field work of thai
team was first class
With Dilworth in the box this after
noon we shall look for far better
showing. The following is the tabula-
