KinbalI's Career.

Kimball, one of the crack ball play
ers Of the Washington club, is about 30
years old and played his first game in
1894 with the Reading (Pa.) State
league club. In 1895 he played all sea
son with his home club, the MELVILLE
IN. J. } nine, and made such a fine rec
ord that the Roanoke (Va. club secured
his services for last season. He pitched
against Tannehill, the left handler, who
has been secured by the Pittsourgs, and
each pitcher scored two victories

agement unheralded and with only the
recommendation of Zeke Wrigley in his
favor. Kimball weighs about 165
pounds, and while at the bat displays
unusual aptness. His biggest recon-
mendation among the players is that he
does exactly the contrary of what is ex-
pected of him. This knack only comes
to players after they have been in the
yame for years For instance, pitchers
have way of delivering the ball to the
batter i'll a way that indicates whether

arose over rulings made by Bishop
Willis and adhered to by him. Many
members of his congregation protest

rulings, the second congregation was
formed with Rev. Mr.. Wallace, who
was the Parish minister. as leader.

Eating Peaches.

1t Is somewhat fortunate that the
woolly coating on the shin of the peach
is so objectionable to most people that
they remove it before beginning to eat
the fruit. 1t is almost always the re-
ceptacle of germs, which, if taken into
the stomach under certain conditions,
are extremely injurious. Hence, when
ever the peaches are eaten raw the skin
should be removed, not alone because
it's woolly covering is unpleasant, but
still more because 1t is unhealthful.
For still stronger reasons peaches
should never be dried with their skins
on. In such case the number of germs
which a pound of dried peaches will
carry can hardly be estimated. Still,
if the stomach be entirely healthy, any
of germs taken into it will do
no injury. Nobody can surely know
this of himself or herself That some
can eat the peach, peeling and all,
without injury is no proof that others
can do SO.

Help for Threshiue.

When threshing is done by steam
power, it is the constant effort of those
who run these threshers to have the
work of threshing in each neigkbor-
hood hurried through in as short sea-
son as possible. Their own expenses
are quite heavy, and the threshing
business will not pay unless they can
get steady work while the season lasts.
1t is the farmers interest, on the other
hand, to postpone grain threshing until
fall work is well out of the way. The
grain is in better condition for thresh-
ing then, and, what is quite as import
ant, it is not so difficult to secure the
help needed. To keep a steady flow of
grain in the straw NOW or stack to the
machine requires three, four or five
men, according to the distance the bun
dies have to be pitched. All are needed
that can work without being in each
others way. 1t is the hardest work
that is now left to be done on the farm,
and is also the dirtiest. There is al
ways some heating in the NOW or
stack, and this means some dust from
the partial decay Of straw or chaff. The
men who go with threshing machines
get bigger wages than they can at any
other farm work, and they fully earn
what they receive. Few people can go
through job of threshing without TAX
ing cold and having throat and lungs
and nostrils greatly irritated for sever
al days after. 1t is under such condi-
tions that tubercular consumption is
most apt to begin.-American Cultiva-

An Extraordinary Eruption,

A very singular phenomenon occur
red last winter in Iceland Along the
seacoast, near the center of the south
ern shore of the island, there is a broad
level region called the Skeidara Sands.
bordered by glaciers descending from
the mountains. A postman crossing the
sands was startled by a long, groaning
sound issuing from the glacier two
miles away. Then he saw masses of
ice shooting into the air, followed by
flood of water and ice pouring across
the sands. Being ON horseback he
quickly got out of the reach of dam
ger. After six days, on again visit
ing the spot, he found the sands cover
ed with s'belt of ice-waves'' reach
ing from the glacier to the sea, a dis
tance of twenty-five miles. The precise
cause of the eruption, which apparent
ly took place underneath the glacier, is
not known, but according to a report
in Nature. it is believed to have some
connection with the great earthquakes
that shook Iceland last summer.
