HnsI<ctbaiI League.

The interest in the games of the Dis
trict National Basketball League is as
great as ever. and the attendance Is
steadily increasing. with an average even
now of $50 spectators to each game. The
teams are for the most part well match
ed and the games so far have been
very interesting. Small, close scores un-
der the national rules have been handi-
can to the teams coming In from the
old league while the playing OF seven
men on team has been equally hard on
the team from the National League. so
that matters have been about evened up
and the outcome of each game is consid-
cradle more of an uncertainty than in
former years. when the winner could be
picked frequently in advance.
With few exceptions the teams are
playing with the same makeup as last
season and the result is better work as
a result of, the continuous playing to-

COrcorans Ready for the New Year

Preparing for Christmas one week and
getting over the effects of it the next put
these two weeks in the list OF the du.lest
of the year in athletics. 1t is probably
well that 1t is so. 1t gives the workers in
the gymnasium a needed rest. prevents
the consistent hard worker from becoming
"stale" and gives all hands a great relish
again taken up.
The year which is about to close has not
been as successful sthletically as some of
its predecessors, bat 1t showed signs of
Improvement over some which immediate
ly preceded it, and this improvement indi-
Gates healthier condition of affairs in
circles which foster athletics-it means
better times.
1t is true the local athletes have not
covered themselves with any very thick
coats of glory. but wherever they have
come in competition they have consist
| emily held their own, and that's doing
well these days and times. There's hope
for better things for next year. We will
be better prepared in many ways to be
represented on land and water at home
and abroad. and especially abroad, for a
special effort will be made to send oui
crews to compete at all big open events
and our track and field athletes will be
given opportunity to try their nettl'
against the stars of the North and East.

4 BoYs, Olnb.

Last October q boy of 1 l years living in Denver walked into his mothers room one afternoon, followed by nine other boys, and said: Mother, we boys have been talking the matter over, and we have come to ask you to start club for us just like tho women's big club that you arc q member of and that you and papa talk so much about, where you tell him you learn 20 much and have such good times. Joe thinks it would be fine thing, and he believes his mother would help you to do it for us. '
 The mothers talked the matter over, and now there is q fully organized club called the Adelphinas, with II boys ranging from 10 to IS years as members. A committee from the woinan's club helps the boys to carry on their club. At each meeting they hear an interest ing talk on some historical character and have short parliamentary drill. Each boy responds to his name with a quotation or with some good item of current news. Joe Morris is president Woman s Journal.

Simple Tricks That Can Be Easily Per

 It is really very strange said liar old, how long a person may look at q thing without seeing it. If you've been looking at that ostrich egg on the book shelf for minute, you've been looking good quarter of an hour, Alice, and yet l don't believe you know what you were looking at. A penny for your thoughts, AlicoP'
 Oh, they're not worth if, Haroldf' replied the little fair haired girl who lay eurled up i'll the big library arm chair. q was onlysthinking what queer old things eggs are sometimes. ;
 Very queer indeed, especially if they re old, " assented Harold gravely.
 At that birthday party Cousin Eva gave last Wednesday--you couldn't go you know, because your arm had been hurt playing foothall-thero were some of the queerest acting eags you ever saw. You should have seen how they be, hayed," said Alice.
 But l never saw eggs act at all, y cried Harold. You really surprise mo,
  Alice. Of all the tranquil, harmless inoffensiye, quiet sort of living erea- lures 1 ever came across, eggs break the record. ," But these weren't living; they were boiled, said Alice. "I don t think that explains matters, began Harold, but Alice went on unmindful of the inter- ruption. When wo had our boiled eggs, Cousin Edith took two of them, and then she told us tho story about Columbus and his egg Columbus said he could discover America, you know, and they said ho couldn't and that yon might as well try to make an egg stand up on end Columbus said thnt was nothing; he could do it, and he smashed his egg right down so 1t broke in the

 tAncestors?' said Harold inquiringly.
 tAunt's sisters, retorted tho little girl quickly, land that we could man. age the egg trick much better nowadays. She stood ono of her eggs up on it's lit tie end and didnt break it either Then she made it lean over, and it stayed that way and didn t roll down. She took another egg, balanced it on it's end and put the first egg on top, and they both stood up, one on top of tho other. Aft onward she built up the goblets the queerest way, and balanced the egg on them and on tho edgo of the mouth of the deeanter of milk, and it stayed there leaning over, but never foll, and --oh, she did all sorts of things like that y
 There is no trick of such simplicity so easily performed that is as effective in puzzling, interesting and amusing q party of children SIS tho antics of the eccentric eggs, which Alico was at. tempting to describe.
 The eggs to bo used must be blown. Make small perforations in tho egg at either end, and, holding it over a cup or some other receptacle apply your lips quickly to one of tho holes. and with your breath force the contents out of the other. Stop up one of the perfera- tions with white WAX and drop into the other tho smallest shot you can procure, until tho weighted end makes tho egg stand securely ill any position in which it may be placed, then stop up with your wax the other aperture, and your trick egg is complete.
 If shot is not to Do procured, common sand will answer As it is much lighter than the leaden shot, however, 1t will require more of it to accomplish tho purpose.

some people in the world persist in cllng1ng to old methods. There are men who still use forked stick ill place of a modern blow. There are also men. who. when they are troubled with disordered stomach or liver, resort to the old-fashioned violent remedies that rack and rend the whole body, and while they give temporary relief, Ill the long run do the entire system a great amount of harm
 Modern science has discovered remedies infinitely superior to these old-fashioned drugs, that do their work by promoting the natural processes of excretion and seere- ton and gently correcting all circulatory dlsturbances. When a man feels generally out ot sorts, when he loses sleep at night, when he gets tip headachey and with a bad taste fn his mouth ill the morning, when he feels dull and lethargic all day, when his appetite is poor and his food distresses hlfn, when work comes hard and recreation IS an 1mpossibility, that man, though lie may not believe 1t, is pretty sick man. lie is on the road to consumption, nervous prostration, malaria, or some serious blood disease. In cases of this description man should resort at once to Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Itis tie best medicine for weak stomach, impaired digestion and d1sordered liver. It is the great blood maker and purifier, fesh-b builder and nerve tonic. 1t cures o8 per cent. of all cases of consumption bronchitis lingering coughs and kindred ailments. Thousands have testified to it's marvellous merits. It is modern, scientific medicine that aids without goading nature, and that has stood the test for thirty years. Medicine dealers sell it.
