The Musical Courier has an amusing
item about De Pachmanu. the odd ex-
ponent OF Chopin:
Pachmann cut up his usual capers at
the Singakademie. He got out in one
part Of the Schumann Csrnaval, and 81
treacherously lid his memory treat him
that do what he might he could not
find himself again. After trying three
times in vain Pschmarn suddenly
jumped to his feet and shouted. "Never
mind. never mind; bravo. Pschmann,
you played lovely anyhow" This ex
hibition 90 fiabbergasted the audience
that at the first moment there was a
complete silence. and the people looked
ut each other in mute establishment;
then the humor Of the situation broke
Ia upon them and they began to az
plsud vigorously. and recalled the little
Chopinzee.
Joseffy has returned. and seems to
have improved. judging by the enthu-
siasm he rouses. He and his audiences
havs sad quarrels over encoree. quar-
rels in which Dsmrosch and Thomas
seem to get good deal involved.

Smiles fled, faces grew long, and the

tiny little wagons filled with seed.
When the birds need a meal, they pull
a strisg fastened to the fronts of these
little carts. and drag them up the i'm

the canaries have had their fill they let
go the cords. and the small carts slide
back to their buffers, outside the cage.
When water is needed the birds are
compelled to pull on long cord, which

which they drink, and then, loosening
their hold, the water pail drops down
to the bottom of the cage. You see
these birds have been taught to work

rhcir Game Ijifrers II Many Details from
the Regular Ono.


the Regular One.
Prof. II. b. Huntoon, Of the Kentucky
school, describing baseball among The
blind, says: The baseball game differs,
of course, in many Gifts details from The
regular games. The diamond is not Of
regulation size, but it is Of regulation
form. The distance between bases is
but 40 feet. The fielders are stationed
the same as in the National league game,
with the exception thai there is right
shortstop, thus making ten men to a
side. In the enfield, in public games,
there is an unlimited number of players,
each taking turn at the bat, first NOV
| inC up one position whenever a bats
man is put out.
The catcher sits on the ground, we'll
back from the home plate, and, to guard
against injury, he wears mask and
chest protector. His position is such
that when pitcher delivers bali it
strikes the ground just between the
knees and is taken on the short bound.
The batsman takes his position at
the plate with heavy fiat bat, some
what like those used in cricket. The
| umpire, who must be man Of unim-
paired vision, calls upon the pitcher to
get ready, and then clearly sings out:
'.One, two, three!" At the word three
the pitcher must Loyalty deliver the
ball. He pitches in the slow, underhand
/ way peculiar to the game rs or 30 years
ago, the idea being to deliver ball that
can be hit by the batsman, who, stand
| ing there in the darkness, with sharp
cned sense Of hearing and wonderful
/ conception Of the time that must
4 elapse before the bali reaches him, is
prepared to strike.
TT the batsman should miss the bal
bounces into the catcher'sslap, and is
returned to the pitcher by single toss
with precision that is wonderful
When the ball is batted the umpire calls
out quickly to the fielder in whose di
rection il is travelling. and he, guided
by a sense Of hearing, either catches
the ball or follows it in its cours'
i through the grass. Six strikes are al
out. In fielding any number OF bounds
/ are permitted. If the batted ball is
"hot liner and travelling straight To-
an infielder's head, the umpire shouts
warning, and iu such cases the piayel
ducks or falls to the tuft.
1t is possible, in fact the ball IS Ire

| have heard complaints from some

toners are over particular and given TO

trouble to cater to their tastes than the
butter is worth In all my experience
j have not had the least trouble III this
respect. Our customers all understand
thar il al any time crock of butter does
not suit they are expected to return II
at our expense and it will be replaced
by another. | think it is no more than
right that person paying such price
for butter should get what they want,
and have found none who are any more
exacting than | should be under the cir
cumstances. l may have been partic-
ularly fortunate in obtaining unusually
desirable customers, but certainly
there is no fault or complaint. In our
correspondence year after year, L have
ever received most courteous treatment
from both men and women. There has
been nothing which would Indicate the
difference, socially speaking, between

In make the butter look neat, and, al
though butter in crock does not APP
pear to the eye in the way that printed
butter does, some difference is discernl-
BILE even there. 1t is the practice OF
some butter-makers to tie bits of old

cether too suggestive of its former

tidious person. 1t is better to buy
parchment paper, which comes cut in
circles ID fit the different sizes of crooks,
for this purpose. Pack the crock full
to oyerfowing, then with piece of wire
cut off the butter directly at the TOP
edge of the crock. Remove the surplus
place circle of the parchment over il
and smooth down and see how neat il
looks. In summer sprinkle layer
of fine salt over the top to prevent thu
heat from melting the butter and soil
ing the paper. We buy new light vel
low paper tostie over the outside ant
think it looks much better than ole
newspapers. The name and address wa'
formerly written on an express tag ane
tied to the crock, but our express agen
favors writing it upon the top with pei
