for her. By taking him to Prof. d'Odi-
ardi's machine she can tell if he still
loves her or if his love has turned to
Indifference.
The machine is also used by psy-
biologists, who take old married peo-
pie there by way of experiment, to see
If love is permanent. They also have
experimental some with old maids to
find out if they can love later in life
If an old maid marries, say about the
age of forty years, psychologists who
are interested in the electric love ma
chine endeavor to get her to the labor
atory of Prof. d'Odiardi, to determine
whether she married from love or
other motives.
This machine can be made useful
in divorces, to see if either had re-
mained constant in love. 1t can be
used in cases of separation, to deter
mine the custody of the child. If the
needle swings toward the mother in
stead of the father, her love must be
stronger than his. In that case both
would have to think intently OF the
child to influence the needle. Of
course both would endeavor to put
force upon it, and the needle would be
a true indication of the cerebral radi-
alton of love.
There are many other adaptations
for the Electric Love machine. Phren-
Ologists claim that no one should
marry without diagnosis by those
who read bumps. This may be true.
The love machine is also good indi-
Gator, and the man who consults both
of these authorities, and finds that in
each case his ladylove registers true to
him, need have no objection to her on
the ground of false motives.

UrchinuS Americans.

An urchin, full OF wiggles, of wrench.
ings and of wriggles, Small Boya-
bus Americanus Urchinus is he,
AS happy as q lizard, if he can fill his
gizzard with red forbidden fruit
from off your favorite apple tree.
A boy to raise the dickens with wad-
ding ducks or chickens, with colts
provoked to capers and sometimes
antics worse.
But as gay as any linnet, and happy
in minute, just after he is
spanked, with but penny in his
purse;
Who fills his countless pockets with
trash, from nails to rockets, with
fishlines and fantasies of hun
dred various brands,
With CRIME upon his features, one of
those agile creatures who runs
upon his pattering hoofs or walks
upon his hands.
Prone oft to fun and frolic, in autumn
melOn-colic; gets cakes including
stomacakes and every other kind;
Knees with artistic patches, hats that
are ragged thatches, and basement
patches frescoing him gracefully
behind.
A jangler and a jumper, a thinker and
thumper, mixture of all oppo-
sites in one small carcass blent,
With wants all telescope, industry
microscopic, yet with the smallest
blessings ever jolly and cont ent.
Face freckled with sun kisses, heart
filled with boyish blisses, mercurial
in temper and inclined to favor
self,
Yet winsome altogether, in spite of
wind or weather, frolicsome, a
rolicksome and capering young elf,
Disturber of the masses, leveller of
the classes, as honest in his likings
rs the Openness of the morn,
AS queer a human creature in fancy
and in feature as genius e'er in
vented or as ever yet was born.
Not after all a spurner of that old
time base-burner, the fat and flap.
ping slipper with the warm and ar
dent sole,
Which though not quite elective was
not the less effective in fringing
many frolic with repentant
dearth and dole,
And yet this little fellow time shall
mold and mellow into a glorious
manhood which grand birthrights
yet shall claim,
Some woman shall adore him, obsta-
cles yield before him, and he may
see his name inscribed upon the
rolls of fame.
He needs judicious scolding, little
careful molding, some yankings
and some spankings in this bring
ing up by hand,
But careful work will win him, and
there is packed up within him the
future hope and glory of our high
ly-favored land.

ON THE DIAMOND.
The Game Between the Tomb
 stones and TUughnuts.

Yesterday the much talked of game Of base ball between the Tombstone and Toughnuts was played at the ball grounds. Both sides played an Cx- cellen. game to the plaudits of the multitude and afforded much amI.e- ment and excitement 10 the spcc.s- tors.
 According to previous srrau gcmen;s John Blewett acted as umpire. By defending on heavy bat fer protoc- ton and rigidly adhering to the rules as published by the PRosrEcToR he in- forced his decision with d,termina- ton that brooked no appeal. The most important position of score keep CT fell to the lot of Treasurer Vent worth. He showed himself an expert in tbisline giving entire satisfaction particularly to the Tom bslones.
 The SIG, 900 battery won the sffec- tions of the enthusiasts. The pitcher has very puzzling delivery. It is technically known as south paw or left handed twirler with every curve known to the profession. His "drops" are especially deceptive. The tamsle battery of the opposition were also much admired. The pitchers delivery is also quite 8 study showing that coo! c dculstisns are required ina ball game He ceDjures the sphere a moment, raises both arms above his head and sends i, winding about the batsers neck The s.onswall receivers of both pitch CTS did well We regret lack of space to note the merits of the different players, however, among those worthy of mention is Captain Scot. White oi the Tombstones who played in the feli and showed that ball tossing WAS no novelty to him, never iaIlIng to step ball that did not pass him. The most beautiful play ci the Tough nuts was probably made by one oi the PKesrEcToR force who, after vsinly endeavoring to reach third base by the usual route, via second, accomp- lished it iu @ maste!ly manner by Q strategic movement from first to third, he made c tally sDd ssved his team frem a whi,swash in the third inning.

A FOXY DOCTOR.
An Ingenious Ruse 10 Keep n Woman
still.

Still.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Among the more prominent members of
the medical fraternity of Chicago is a ply
sician who is renowned much more for
his professional skill than for his control
OF his own nerves or temper. In fact his
confreres laughirgly remark that he is
able to control other people rather better
than he is himself.
Among the regular patients of the doc
tor is an elderly lady vino is something
OF hypochondriac and who though she
is more or less of an invalid, constantly
imagines herself to be in much worse
condition than she really is A few days
ago the doctor vas sent for post haste,
and expected f-cm the urgency of the
summons 10 find her extremely i'll. He
vas somewhat disgusted when he found
that she was in her usual condition, and
when ne incautiously intimated that he
d1d not think her condition had materially
changed since he last saw her his patient
launched into a recital of her woes together
with numerous new symptoms which she
had discovered. which seemed almost end
less. The disciple of Escuapius was COM
PEELED TO prolong his visit until he was
decidedly inconrerienced by the delay. He
finally made his prescription and left the
house, promising to return the next day.
AS soon as he called the second time the
idCS SOiufHetiCeu telllflS NUMEROUS pny-
sical troubles. The doctor had an import
ant appointment 10 keep in a half hour,
and finally became distressiEgly nervous
over the prospect. when a happy thought
struck him. Drawing from his pocket one
of the little thermometers which physicians
use to test temperature with, he said:
Mrs. --, L wish to test your tempera-
ture. Will you be so kind to hold this
in your mouth for minute?"
The lady did as directed. and while she
was rendered incapable of conversation by
reason of the inpediment in her mouth the
doctor felt her pulse and made out his pre-
scription. He then removed the thermome-
ter and left, having saved a great deal
of time by the use The same thing was
repeated for three days. when finally the
iEvalid's daughter asked him anxiously
DO you think mamma is going to have
fever?"
No replied the doctor. she makes
me nervous with her talking and wanted
a little quiet
The daughter straightway told her
mother of the circumstance, and after a
stormy interview the physician was paid
off and dismissed. At last accounts the
invalid had secured a doctor who, while
he may not be the equal of the first in
medical skill. is not made nervous by her
endless chatter.

Curious Customs the Origin of Which

Curious Customs the Origin of Which
Are Lost in Antiquity.
From the New York World
The distribution of eggs at Easter has
descended to us from the greatest of the
Chinese spring festivals inaug irated more
than seven hundred years before the Chris
tian era.
The custom was particularly popular
during the fifteenth and sixteenth cen
turtles in England. The pope sent Henry
VIII an Easter egg in silver case.
In Russia it IS common to exchange visits
and eggs on Easter day.
In Italy dishes of eggs are sent to the
priests to be blessed. after which they are
carried home and placed in the center of
the table
In Spain and Germany The eggs are not
blessed. but they are highly coored and
are distributed among callers to be eaten
OF taken away according TO the taste Of
the Individual
lists among the Jews, Greeks, Turks and
Persian s.
"Paas' was the ancient name for Easter,
and the eggs were often called pace"
"pach' or "pars" eggs.
In Scotland eggs are taken 20 church to
be blessed. They are afte-w lrI distrib-
uted among the members of the household
and are either eaten saved as keep
sakes.
The decoration of ordinary eggs crig.-
mated in England. Gliding The shells was
the first step. This was followed by the
additions of ribbons. pictures and various
other devices TO please the little folk
These eggs were given and received with
the familiar Easter greeting, Christ is
risen,' and the answer, He is risen, in
deed!'
Germans first introduced games into the
Easter celebration. Eggs were hidden
about the lawn: grounds or in the house.
Then the children hunted for thc1n, the
finder of the greatest number receiving a
prize.
Sometimes the eggs were all put in cne

In Germany there are tracks made of

COSTLY WOODS IN NEW YORK.
Small Piles of Lumber Worth $5O,OOO
and More.

Small Piles of Lumber Worth $3O,0OO
and More.
From the New York Tribune.
Lying in some Of the great lumber yards
of New York and only showing their value
to the experts and the initiated ones are
heaps of rare and costly woods, some from
the countries of the equator, others cut
from American forests. In one single lum-
Der yard it is no uncommon thing to see
a stock that is valued at $4,000 more.
In one block near the East river front
there is often 81 100000 worth piled up in
the open air or under the cover of rough
sheds.
The veining and nothing of a log and the
veneers that made from it fix its val
ue. While all these special woods of com
mCrce are costly, prices three and four
times the average are paid for unusual
patterns of rosewood, mahogany and black
walnut.
There are several hundred varieties of
fine woods brought each year into New
York, but of these only a fe" are known
to commerce to any extent. Mahogany.
French burl rosewood, curly ash, Amer
can quartered oak, figured birch, black
walnut, CircaSsian walnut and satEwood
are the fancy timber varieties that sell
the best, their prices running from to 10
cents foot for SeneerS. These figures
give no adequate conception of values until
they are examined carefully. But the cal
culation is simple one. veneer is
thin strip cut from board by shaving
machine, thirty veneers being allowed 10
each board of ali inch thickness. the boards
of these costly woods running about two
feet in width. AS a rule these boards are
eight to ten feet long, and thus single
veneer of mahogany two feet wide and
ten in length is worth, by itself, from %
cents to ST. a double row of these veneers
piled up five feet high is worth easily
$1,000.
In the log mahogany sells here at 81 to
S1.50 foot, board measurement. 1t comes
from Mexico and Cuba and, brought to
this city in logs. 1t is sold in veneers. These
veneers, stacked up in piles in the sheds.
are SO brittle that the only way of ship
ping them to the furniture and piano man
ufacturers is to pack them in cases. A
case usually holds 800 sheets or from $500
to $500 worth and is heavy that the
strength Of from four to six men, with
rollers, is necessary to get it upon a truck.
A case is known in the trade as a fitch
Even unvarnished and unpublished as
these rare woods are in the rough the pat
terms are easily visible and the designs
and veining are very beautiful. Nearly all
these woods are sold in veneers, for two
reasons: first, they too costly to use
solidly, and. second, all have a tendency
to warp. Next in popularity to mahogany
comes American figured walnut from Ken
tucky, West Virginia. Tennessee and the
