A Narrow Escape.

mother dear had said,
rs she kissed them all and Rugged theiD

upon the floor;

Nan, Angelina, and Mary went sadly on
to sleep,
In happy dreams they soon forgot that
melancholy heap;
But when at last in slumber sound their
tired mother lay,
She heard q voice, a gentle voice, that
sweetly seemed to say:
Those children you're so fond of-'tis
d you cannot see,
They're really very far from what a per
feet child should be!
There's many a pretty child in town in
case you feel inclined
70 choose some pretty new ones, and let
these stay behind.
For Mary broke her arm, you know, and
Nan turns in her toes,
And Angelina has freckles on her funny
little nose;
They bump their heads and tear their
f~rocks-it's hard to keep them neat
[ think l wouldn't take them to the house
on Pleasant street,
That loving little mother, oh! she started
up in fright,
She ran to all her babies. and she kissed
and Rugged them tight.
She put her little bonnet on, and bought
a pot of glue,
And when they moved to Pleasant street,
the dollies all went too!

Played Poker In a pOOrhOuse.

There has been q pronounced stand
taken against gambling in some quar-.
ters at Portsmouth recently. The fire
and police departments have been or.
dcred to abandon card playing, and a
full grown poker game has been broken
up at tho infirmary.
1t appears that several Of tho inmates
receive small pensions and others earn
n trif1e occasionally for tobacco money
by outside work. They have lately been
losing most Of it to some OF their fellow
unfortunates who are skilled in the
manipulation Of the cards. They used
crackers and grains Of coffee as chips
and played in tho basement Of the build.

might DO considered sufficiently unusual
to be worth permitting to proceed as q
curiosity, but Superintendent Mershon
thought not and placed the participants

Tho Musical Cat.

My blue Persian cat Is q gentle, senti-
mental creature, slightly inclined to
melancholy and, strangely, ever trouble
somely, a1fectionate to one or two select
friends. She had been accustomed from
the time l first had hcr-last summer
to be continually with me- generally on
my lap Oh shoulder. When the winter
evenings began TO draw on, l took to
playing the piano, which l had not done
during the summer. The cat could not
understand why, when this was going
on, she was not allowed to take up her
usual position In order, / suppose, to
show her disapprovdl Of my occupation,
she would continually climb up either
on to me or the piano and pat my hands
with her paws, and pull them off tho
kcys-vcry gently and without scratch
ing at oil. This became such d nuisance
that ! could not play unless l put her
out Of the room, but she would sit out
side and howl, and when any one open
ed tho door She would rush in and begin
da capo. At last | Thought IF wa Of
treating hur-viH, like Il rational being.

6palding Tells How He Wa Able 70
Place the Ball Anywhere.
Before I Joined the Boston Red
Stockings" said A. G.. spalding re.
Gently. II used to go up to the bat with
the sole object in view Of hitting the
ball from the shoulder a. hard ~ I
could. without any idea as to what part
Of the field 1t would go or on the
ground or In the air. All I thought Of
was to knock It out Of the lot > a. the
boys say. But I o o found that there
was something more in batting than
that I think I got my frst idea Of
what batting should be from defending
my wicket In cricket when We went to
England on that baseball tour In 1874.
At any rate, I got into the habit Of try.
ing to place the ball, instead Of hitting
at random, and from that time I real.
lied that to try to tap the ball to right
field over the heads Of the infelders
and short Of the catching reach Of the
o%ut6elders was about the right caper.
"The new method Of handling the
bat, I remember, came to me all Of q
sudden. I had been for some months
batting very poorly while hitting from
the shoulder, a base hit being the result
In about eight Of ten times at the bat,
and even less. One day I thought I
would try something different, and, get
ting some one to pitch swift balls to me,
I went in for tapping them to right field
30 that they would fall safe, and after a
few trials up went my batting average
Of base hits at q jump, and especially
did my hitting prove useful when run-
ners were on tho bases. The boys be-
gan to want me to follow them at the
bat, because I hit SO as to bat them
round toward home. Then it was that
I first practically realized that q swift
~ pitched ball to the bat which was
just tapped by the bat-that ia, hit
lightly, but not like a 'bunt'-wouh go
to tho field, sharp from the bat, with
surprising speed; besides which, I could
govern its direction better than it was
possible in hitting it from the shoulder,
as before.
Talking Of swift pitching" contin-
ued Mr.. Spalding, fused to think that
old time pitchers could send in q
pretty speedy ball under the rule of the
underhand throw, but none of us ever
equaled tho speed OF the cyclone pitch
ing Of the present time which comes
from the regular overland throw. Then,
too, with all u practice, we could not
command the ball in delivery, as is pos.
sible in overland throwing. New

WAS A FAILURE
Intended Object Lesson Of the Arme-

Ottoman Bank.
10-uNFlUENCE THE POWERS
Will Foolish Goldbug Object Lessons
in This Country Meet a
Like Fate?

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Aug. 31.-The en-
bassies we're not illumined today, the
anniversary Of the s%ultan's accession to
the throne, owing to the recent massa-
cres. The dragomsns of the embassies,
when they went to Ylldiz Kiosk to con-
vey the good wishes OF the ambassadors,
we're instructed to leave notes which, al
though they congratulated the sultan
upon the occasion, expressed deep regret
at the recent outrages.
There is no longer any doubt that the
massacres were organized by the Turk
ish authorities, and it has been ascer-
tanned that orders we're only given to
Hashi Bazouks to cease killing Arme-
mans after the bloody work had been
going on for 30 hours.
1t is also q fact that hundreds of
Turks we're brought over from the Aei-
attic side Of the Bosporus in order to
take part in the massacres, and many
Armenians were put in boats which we're
then run out to sea.
Although it be true that the attack on
the Ottoman bank originated with the
Armenian revolutionary committee, it is
admitted on all sides that the nassacres
which followed were not justified and
that from 5000 to 1900 people lost their
lives in the streets Of this city or in those
Of it's suburbs during the last week. The
Armenians also intended attacking the
palace, the branch office OF the Credit
Lyonnaise, and other places, their
avowed object being to force the powers
to intervene in the Armenian question.
