The spires of Delft appear in the dis
lance, the pottery works on the canal
and the suburban houses. Against the
background Of pale blue sky the steeply
gabled houses are set in lovely poly

conscious of their spic and span clean
ness, their ancient solidity and glaze
of yesterday. Every crossing has it's
bridges of stone with white ratings.

vades the town, the doors are closed,

important storks fly, and round eyed
children implore their good offices for

before pottery was ever made in the

than for their ancient and ancestral

may go, if you have a letter of intro
duction, and you will be received with

Increasing Value OF Whalebone.

Whaiebone promises to become enc Q:
the most valuable commodities of COM
merce, and before the next century is
very old it may become as highly
priced as gold. It may then be the
means of settling forever the mono
metallist and bimetallist controversies
by abolishing both, and making the
substitution Of whalebone currency DOS
sible, for there is no chance of an
oversupply of that article, and it is
quite evident that it cannot be imi-
tated. Numerous attempts have been
made to simulate it, hut none has been
successful. Not very many years ago
whalebone could be purchased for f4Oa
a ton. At the end of last season Tho
price was $4,000. To-day it is about
f2,200, and before Christmas it may be
higher still, for the Greenland fishing
this summer has not proved an i'm
mense success. At this price an old
family bingham, of which whalebone
ribs were generally about half an inch
square, would prove a very handsome
legacy, much more valuable than a
gold-mounted but steel-ribbed umbrella
of the present day. A collection Of the
old articles might form a small fortune

likely to BE ScoOned.

Now that the base ball season is
about over, talk is rife among man
ayers concerning the drafting of play
ers from minor leagues into the Ma
tional. The Western league being the
strongest outside the big league, will
suffer more than any other ~organiza-
ton. First of all, managers are on the
lookout for good pitchers, and the
Western has a handful of them. The
only Western league twirler that is
absolutely certain to go is at present
young Fifield, the great twirler of the
Detroit club. Fiield will pitch in the
National in '97 without a doubt. Chi
cago will probably capture him. That
club has also scooped in pitcher Gala
han, of Kansas City, and Pitcher Den
ger of st. Paul.
Bill Phillips, of Indianapolis, may
possibly go to Cincinnati next year,
to replace Chauncey Fisher, and Dam
man is looked upon f%avorably, but
needs more experience. Parker, Of
Minneapolis, may also possibly be
drafted, but it is not at all likely that
he will. Talk of Thomas going to the
National has probably been but rumor.
Chicago, I learn, has also captured Con-
nors and Preston, of Minneapolis. An
son had Connors once before, but let
him go without a fair trial. Connors
is the great second baseman in the
Western league, and if he once breaks
into faster company he will be a fixt-
ure there. Preston will be a good man
for Arson. He is a great base runner
and a fine fielder, and his headwork
makes him a valuable man to any
team, while his throwing is something
marvellous, and will give him a reputa-
ton even in the National league. In
dianapolis is likely to lose Stewart;
