opening games.
The rooters are NOT ashamed of San

the ball field and interfere with the
work OF the players.

this to dry, and after it is dried put a
strip of stout muslin over the putty,
sticking it On with thick paint, and put
another coat of paint over the mend. A
coat of paint added from time to time
will make the part as strong as the rest

dip the brush into the ready prepared
paint and put stroke or two Of the

Paper pals may be mended in the

HOW OLD THE EARTH is.
Counted Ly Millions. Not Thousauds, al
Years.

Counted y Millions Not Thousands, of
Years.
The Greek schools, above 1000 years
ago, treated the world as of indefinite
antiquity, and they speak of traditions
10, 600 or IA, O00years before their time
as facts not questionable from their an
tiquity. Buckland, from geological con-
illusions, says it is millions Of years
since the world was created, and the
only question is how many million
years. Different views have been enter
tanned rs to the earth S formation, one
view beng that it has cooled down
from a fluid to a solid mass. Sir Will
liam Thompson has investigated the
question Of the cooling of the earth and
looks upon the increase of temperature
from the surface downward as proof Of
the constant loss Of heat from the globe,
the heat radiGtirg into sTace without
sensibly elevating the Temperature Of
the upper crust through which it passes.
The continuance Of such a loss of heat
involves belief in the occurrence of a
period at which the earth was a fluid
LuSlNss anu al W lIIltNl-- I4t&' llANb llldl
period at not less than 200, 00O, 600 nor
more than 400, goo, coo years ago, the
probability being that 100 600, 600 of
years is the limit Of geological history,
and that prior TO that time the earth's
surface was unfit for the maintenance
of animal or vegetable life. Our knowl-
edge is not sufficient to fix the period
when the earth became habitable or
when it shall cease to be so. The Or
ganic world does not furnish any guide
to the solution of The problem, and there
fore it is only a speculative question so
far. Hugh Miller says: "As certainly
as the sun is the center Of our sys-
tenn must our earth have revolved
around it for millions of years. +
The earth is of an antiquity incalcula-
bly, vast. \ = < The 5000 years Of hui

A FAMOUS YACAT,s FATE.
Commodore Colts DauntIess. Anchored, a
Flo Iting Memorial.

Commodore Colts Dauntless. Anchored, a
Flo lting Memorial.
Full many large and handsome
yacht has lost her owner because he has
tired of her, or, again, because areduced
income forced him to abandon the ex-
travagant luxury, bat here is one that,
losing her master by his untimely death,
has been specially provided for in her
declining yearS Steadfast unto the end,
she was not sold off for half price to get
rid of her, but, like a faithful dog or
horse that has outlived its days Of use
fulness, has been allowed to finish out
her life in quiet repose
1t is only few years ago that the
schooner yacht Dauntless was one of the
very stanchest boats adOat. In a race
across the Atlantic with the Coronet she
did herself proud. Her commander was
a commodore. and her graceful form
was a familiar figure in the great yacht
ing world. Now, with sails forever
furled, with peunants hauled down for
the last time and housing canvased over,
she tugs at an anchor that seems des-
tlned never 10 rise again
The master whom she thus serves in
spirit was in life Commodore Caldwell
H. Colt, the only child Of the late Colo
mel Samuel Colt, the arms manufacture
err He died at Punta GOrda, Fla, about
three years ago, while off on a cruise.
This circumstance, together with his
fondness for the boat, led his wealthy
mother to preserve it, though no longer
of use, just as others lay away in a
drawer the toys Of dead children. So it
is that the yacht idles her life away, a
silent memorial. In further remem-
brance Of the dead man yachting career
the new Colt memorial house in Hart
ford, costing several hundred Thousand
dollars, bears on its facade a beautiful
reproduction Of the Dauntless in sculp-
tured stone and many other suggestions
Of the sea.
Anchored off Essex, a few miles up
from the month of the Connecticut river,
the good old yacht is now living out her
life of ease. 1t is said that she will
never again go into commissioners
tainly not so long as the mother lives.
The spot is quiet, secluded and all that
retired favorite could ask for in her
old age, and the same waters that lap
her side flow, 40 miles up stream, with
in stone IS throw of the celebrated fac
tory whose machinery produced the
wealth that purchased and maintained
the boat. BROOKLYN Eagle.

Smallpox is more to be dreaded than

headache, backache and high fever first,
with thirst and frequently delirium and
then the eruption. Smallpox pustules
are always square, and they are gener-

gether, but in very bad cases they cover
the whole surface. They are at first a
sort of salmon pink on red background,
changing to yellow and later to brown
scabs.

How to Avoid Draggled Dresses.

Never sit in a damp dress if it can be
avoided, for nothing so successfully
creases it, 1t should at once be taken
off and hung in good position to dry.
Careful attention should always be paid
to dress braids and facings. If braid
is replaced as soon as it commences to
wear, the facing will, in many in
stances, be saved
A dress braid should always be put
on by hand and in most instances roll
ed on" If sewed on by machine, more
time is consumed in ripping it off when
it requires replacing than in both sew
ing ON and ripping off braid sewed on
by hand.

People who spell very badly are net
uncommon, and this defect is almost
always the occasion of serious annoy
ance to them and embarrassment to
their friends. That bad spelling is
caused by disease is statement that
will be new to many, but that such a
state of things exists is proved by excel
lent medical authorities. In certain con-
ditions of brain and nerves the patient
almost invariably writes "ot' instead
of "to. " In another slightly varying
form, instead of the the first letter is
omitted, and so i'll many other of the
shorter words. This malady usually
affects the BRAIN only in connection
with words Of one syllable, but cases
have occurred where longer words have
been so distorted that it was difficult to
get their sense, 1t is question whether
one would be comforted by being told
that bad spelling was caused by mental
disease or whether he would prefer to
have this lack Of accuracy set down to
ignorance or carelessness. New York
Ledger.
