BASE BALL AND BOWLING.

Jerry Denny talks hopefully of base
ball in Derby, and is beginning to get
together club for the state league. He
has signed catcher Manning of Troy
and pitcher Mclaughlin of the same
place.
Jimmy Donnelly of New Haven, the
old time manager is an applicant for
franchise and will probably secure
Torrington's The league this year will
be stronger than ever and composed of
Derby, Waterbury, Meriden. Bridgeport,
Danbury, and New Haven. New Lon
don is not likely to gain admission
owing to the distance to that city.
At the meeting next month the
league will doubtless vote to return to
the old plan, the home club taking all
the receipts. Last season the division
was 60 per cent to the home club and 40
to the visitors. Meriden, Waterbury and
Bridgeport supported Torrington and
Bristol, and got nothing in return. 1t is
thought all the clubs will favor the
original plan.

1t cannot be repeated too often that
the stomach is the fountain which sup
plies every part of the body. If the
stomach is SICK the brain, heart, liver,
bowels and kidneys are all sick The
trouble may all be felt in one spot; it
may be in the stomach itself or it
may be in the brain, or in a rheumatic
muscle. 1t will be felt in the weakest
place. Paine's celery compound is fully
competent to correct all such disor-
dered conditions of the stomach, and to
restore healthy, hearty tone that will
enable it to meet every demand made
upon it by hard-worked brain, heart
and nerves.
A dyspeptic stomach cannot furnish
sweet, healthy chyme, as the digested
food is called but acids and poisonous
gases, and the brain and nerves thus
get poison instead of food 1t is not

Twilight.


NV. B. Arvine in the Crescent
In the sad and somber twilight,
When the shadows gather round,
And the earth and air are silent
Void of motion or of sound
Then the sun sinks down to westward,
And the days departing strife
Leaves the night to blissful slumber
And the WEAKNESS of life.
Then the softly signing murmurs
OF the breezes gently cease;
Nature stills her mighty voice, and
Calmly, swectly, holds her peace.
Yet the great and mighty mandate
Of the fast-departing day,
Sets alight the moon and planets
And the gorgeous milky way,
Thus the tapers of the Heavens,
With their soft and mellow light,
Cleaning through its gloomy portal
Take the terrors from the nigr..

WASHING THE TIGER. "A good
story has been copied in the papers
from La France an N0yd about a
Cossack, ignorant of the French
language and equally ignorant OF
fear, who was hired at Moscow by
the lion tanner, Pezon, to clean the
cages of his wild beasts. Their
understanding, or misunderstand-
ing, was arranged by means Of
gestures and dumb show, as that
unfortunate Tower OF Babel him
dered ineligible speech between
the Frenchman and the Cossack;
and Pezon thought that The man
thoroughly understood what he
had to do. The next morning the
Tartar began his new duties by
entering with bucket, sponge, and
broom, not the cage Of a tame beast,
as his master had done, but OF
splendid untamed tiger, which lay
asleep upon the floor. The fierce
animal awoke and fixed his eyes
upon the man, who calmly pro-
ceeded to wet his large sponge,
and unterrided, to approach the
tiger. AT this moment Pezon ap-
peared upon the scene and was
struck with horror. Any sound
or motion upon his part would IN
tensify the danger Of the situation
by rousing the beast to fury; so he
quietly waited till the need should
arise to rush to the mans assist
ance. The mouiik. sponge in hand,
approached the animal, and, per-
fectly fearless, proceeded to rub
him down as # he had been a horse
or a dog; while the tiper, appar-
emily delighted by the application
Of cold water, rolled over on its
back, stretched out its paws, and
purring, offered every part OF its
body to the Cossack, who washed
him as complacently as a mother
bathes her infant. Then he left
the cage and would have repeated
the hazardous experiment upon
another savage beast from the des-
ert had not Pezon drawn him off
with difficulty.

A New RIBBON FISH FROM THE
COAST OF OREGoN.-The ribbon
fishes are among the most inter
esting and least known Of the many
remarkable fishes inhabiting the
depths Of the sea. Their large
size, fragility and habits make
them very rare in collections.
Their shape is band-like; they are
sometimes 20 feet long and only
10 or II inches deep, the thickness
of the body being but few inches.
By some hthyological writers,
these fishes are supposed, from
their shape and extraordinary
length, to be the basis OF the "sea
serpent" yarns. When they reach
the surface OF the water the
expansion of the contained gases
causes the disintegration ol their
tissues, and they are consequently
nearly always more or less mutt
lated when found. Itis not known
at what depth they live, and no
specimens have ever been obtained
by the use Of the deep sea trawl
or dredge. They are only discov-
cred when floating dead at the
surface or stranded on the shore.
These fishes are very rare IN
American waters; they are not
known to inhablt the waters otthe
western Atlantic, but have been
taken on the coasts of Europe and
at several places in the PACING
Ocean. On the night Of July I,
1897, a large ribbon fish was taken
in Rogue River, near Wedderburn,
Oregon, at a point three-iourths
of a mile above the rivers mouth
in water perfectly fresh. The fish
was caught by being gilled in
salmon drift net. and was alive
when removed from the net. 1t
was taken to Mr.. r. ID. Hume,
the we'll known salmon Gamer anil
cultivator, who recognized its
rarity, but was unable to preserve
it. He, however, employed an
artist to make a sketch Of 1t; took
notes on its size, form. color, fms,
scales, &c; made photograph oi
it; and forwarded drawing, photo
graphic negative and Information
to the United States Fish Commits
sion. The length OF the fish was
9 feet inches; its greatest depth
was 10 inches; the largest part OF
the body was about 55s inches
thick and the head was about a
foot long. The flesh was very soft
and fabby. The premaxillary
bones were remarks ably protractile,
and after death readily permitted
the elongation of the mouth down
ward until the length Of the head
was doubled, giving the appear
ance OF a horses head. The speci-
men was a female, containing trans
parent, ripe eggs, Of which a vial
ful was sent to Washington. The
eggs are free, buoyant and one
seventh of an inch in diameter

AGE OF THE EARTH.-The latest
contribution to the question of the
age oi the earth comes from Mr..
J. G. Goodchild, OF H. M. Geolog-
Ical Survey, in the form of pres
idential address delivered before
the Royal Physical Society Of
Edinburgh, and just published in
the Society's Proceedings (Ses-
sion cxxvi., I896-97). Many geol-
ogists have attempted to estimate
the length of the interval between
the present time and the period
when the Oldest strata containing
FOSSILS were laid down; and "vague,
indefinite, but unquestionably vast
beyond conception" have been the
conclusions. Mr.. Goodchild passes
in review certain changes which
are known to have taken place in
the past, working backwards from
the Glacial Period, and estimates
the time required for the formation
Of the rocks Of the various geologi-
cal periods. He concludes that
ninety-three millions Of years have
elapsed since the commencement
Of the Tertiary Period, and seven
hundred millions OF years since the
commencement OF the Cambrian
Period Moreover, the beginning
Of life upon the earth may be as
much further back from Cambrian
times as Cambrian times are re-
moved from our own, so that the
total estimate assumes tremendous
proportions.-NatuYe.

JEWISH Actors OUTSIDE THE
PALE.-A peculiar jewish question
is now under discussion. In &C
cordance with old custom all Rus
sian actors meet once a year in
Moscow, where they arrange with
the various managers of theatres
their engagement for the ensuing
twelve months. AS there are many
Jewish actors whose residence
in Moscow is prohibited,
the Russian Actors Association
petitioned the Governor General
Of Moscow to allow their Jewish
colleagues 10 remain in the city
during the period oftheir meeting.
But soon alter another question
arose: What is to become OF Jew
ish actors who have accepted en-
gagements in towns outside Of the
Pale2 The Actors Association
has, therefore, addressed ano ther
petition to the Government in
which they point out that in the
interests OF arts and the prosperity
Of theatres, Jews should be per-
mitted to accept engagements
everywhere; otherwise numerous
towns would have to remain with
out complete dramatic companies.
The matter has been referred to the
Minister OF the Interior 1e9OtSh

The CURFEW BELL.-It will be
remembered that the curiew is
commonly said to have been in
troduced into England by William
the Conqueror. By that monarch
it was ordained, under severe pen
alties, that when the curfew bell
rang at o'clock in the evening all
lights and fires should be exiin-
guished. There are those who
hold that this was merely the en-
forcing Of an existing and very
common police regulation to that
effect. The absolute prohibition
Of lights after the ringing Of the
curiew bell was abolished by
Henry /. in the year 1900, but the
practice Of tolling a bell at fixed
hour in the evening was continued,
and this, which is still extant in
some places, is a survival Of the
curiew OF me dieyal times. At frs.
the common hour was 7 o'clock,
then it was gradually advanced 20
8, and in some places to 9 o'clock;
indeed, in Scotland, 10 o'clock was
not an unusual hour. The cUrfew
was a regulation most useful in
those early days, when it was the
custom to place the fire in hole
in the middle of the floor under an
opening in the roof, to allow the
escape Of the smoke. When the
family retired for the night, the
FIRE was extinguished by covering
it up; hence the term couvreieu,
or curiew. The regulation was
also serviceable in obligIng the
people to keep in their houses, and
thus preventing night brawls in the
streets. 1t is believed that there
is no historical authority for the
popular tradition that the severity
exhibited by the Conqueror in en-
forcing obedience to the curlew
was more particularly designed to
prevent English from assembling
in secret to plan schemes OF rebel
lion against their Norman lords.
