TOgESEHD'S GREAT PITCHING
HE STRIKES OUT TWENTY-ONE Oh
PERRYVIILE'S HITTERS.

A great game of baseball at Town
send Saturday so interested The sport
ing fraternity down the road that the
telegraph wires were all kept warm
with private queries. and the Town
send operator had scarcely time to get
an evening lunch. The Perryville
(Md) ball club had been cracked up to
be the finest in Maryland next to the
ex-champion Baltimores. Their friends
decided to run them up against the
-a-iackTownsend ball team Satur-
day. but were warned that Pitcher Jack
Townsend would make them bite the
dust They. therefore, went to
Townsend loaded down, bringing
with them Pitcher Todd, of Havre de
Grace, who has been twirling for a
Southern league club, and Catcher Gill
bert, the hard-hitting old captain Of
Port Deposit.
Pitcher Townsend "gingered up" and
the PerryYille players were struck out
three at a time Twenty-one men were
retired on strikes by the Townsend
pitcher. and they admitted after the
game that the job was neatly done, and
that Townsend has a dron curve that
makes a batsman dizzy. Pitcher Todd
also held the home clubs players
down. The score:

From the Detroit Free Press: The
latest fad In Iowa Is the holding OF un-

to give n Of these unique enter
tafnmests that are becoming popular
all over the state In districts where
coal mines exist. The latest, held at

young ladies Of the Presbyterian
church, gathered at the opening Of the
mine, where they were provided with
common miners lamps, that were
placed In caps furnished them. They

some ssraugs Varieties Of the Fruit
Grown by the Chinese.
The Chinese are very fond Of mon
strous forms Of fruit and flowers. and
any departure from the normal form 10
usually cherished and highly valued.
In their gardens they have numerous
forms of monstrous oranges-some
will produce fruit with points like
firgers, and are known as the Hand
Orange. Another form. says Meehan's
Monthly, has a long horn projecting
from the apex, and they are known as
the Horn Orange. Another variety,
which botanists have known by the
nane OF Citrus aurantium distortum,
bears q fruit In the resemblance Of q
cluster Of sea shells. To one ignorant
OF the laws of vegetable morphoiogy,
these spells Of wandering from the
normal type are very mysterious, but
when It Is understood that all parts Of
the orange, as well as other fruits, are
made UP of what would have been
leaves or branches changed SO as to
constitute the various parts OF the
seed and seed vessels. and that a very
little difference In the degree OF life
energy will change them into various
different parts that come to. make up
the fruit. the mystery in q Gest meas

Of botany which give the lover Of fruits

little pupils in piping up their little

C~ANARY-BIRD CULTURE,

The Milwaukee Sentinel claims that
that city supplies the United States
with the bulk Of the Hartz Mountain
canaries. and that there is no great
crime In the deception, for the Milwau-
kee bird Is really an Improvement on
the imported article, having Just as
fine a voice and being much harder.
Experience has shown that the i'm
ported singer loses the power Of trans
hitting his voice to the young after
passing through an American winter.
This is the case, also, 1t is said. with
the Tyrolean singers who come to this
country, the.i voices losing the pe-
culiar Alpine yodling quality when
they have been here a year.
Before they are mated the hen birds
are kept In separate cages In the music
room, carefully fed and made to listen
to the music Of the singers and the ma
chine used In training their voices. In
this way the hen IL enabled to trans
Init the best musical quality to It's off,
spring. The MUSHROOM Is q large one
with a south exposure, and is kept
with the same s~crupulous neatness as
the breeding-room. In the corner of
this room is the bird organ, and with
1t the little birds are given their vocal
training. When the machine ia start
ed the notes emitted are wonderfully
like the song of the untutored canary.
These notes are known to b%ird-trainers
by the term pfeifen. Gradually the
whistle strikes on to q different line.
1t Is an Improvement over the pfeiffen.
and 1t ia called klingel role. A higher
step still is called the klingel, and a
still higher step hohl klingel. Lastly
comes what is called hohl rollen. and a

SMART v SAILORS.

words OF a statement made by Com
mander Field OF the school-ship st.

Education Of New York city, a few
months ago, regarding n rescue made
Wy the boys OF his ship.
On the night Of the 23d OF February,
after the boys on the st. Mary's had
turned In. the cry was raised on the
wharf at the foot Of which the ship
lies, In New York, that q man had
fallen overheard in the North River.
The boys turned out. lowered q boat,
and In a moment were OF to the res
cue. Just as the man rose for the
last time they pulled him In, and In
an insensible condition he was taken
to the hospital. where he revived.
The next moment would have been
the mans last. and the least delay on
the part Of the handy boys would have
been fatal to him. But II they had been
capable Of delays they would not have
been good sailors, and they made no
delays and did no bungling.
The Scholarship on which these boys
acted so bravely and promptly this
time. and have acted as promptly and
effectually before. is, though command
