Trees and the Air.

According to reliable computation,
a single tree is able through its leaves
to purify the air from the carbonio acid
arising from the respiration of CON
siderable number of men-as many as
dozen or a score. The volume of carbon
10 acid exhaled by human being in
the course of "a hours is estimated at
100 gallons, and a single square yard of
leaf surface, counting both the upper
and under sides of the leaves, can de-
compose about gallon of carbonic acid
in day.

Every Year.
BY GEN. ALBERT PIKE.


Life is count of Losses,
Every year;
Lost springs with sobs replying,
Unto weary autumn's signing,
While those we love are dying,
Every year.
The days have less of gladness,
Every year;
The nights more weight of sadness,
Every year;
Fair springs no longer charm us,
The winds and weather harm us,
The threats of death alarm us,
Every year.
There come new cares and sorrows,
Every year;
Dark days and darker morrows,
Every year;
The ghosts of dead hopes haunt us,
The ghosts of changed friends taunt us,
and disappointments daunt us,
Every year.
To the past go more dead faces.
Every year;
As the loved leave vacant places,
Every year;
Everywhere the sad eyes meet US.
In the evenings dusk they greet US,
Aud to come to them entreat US,
Every year.
You are growing old" they tell us,
Every year;
You are more alone, they tell US,
Every year;
You can win no more affection,
% You have only recollection,
Deeper sorrow and detection,
Every year"
The shores of life are shifting,
Every year;
And we are seaward drifting,
Every year;
Old places. changing, fret us.
The living more forget us,
There are fewer to regret us,
Every year.
But the truer life draws higher,
Every year;
And its morning star climbs higher,
Every year;
Earth's hold on lis grows slighter,
And the heavy burden lighter,
And the dawn immortal brighter,
Every year.

filled by Andrew Elliott of Marlboro
All these officers were chosen by accla-
nation The voting for the board of
directors was by ballot, and resulted in
the choice of George H. Spaulding of
Marlboro, j. H. Ward of F'itchburg and
Charles CANCEL, whom it was expected
would run one of the local teams. Mr.
Cancel and 7. F. O'Reilley of the Ly-
ceums received the same number of
votes for the place, but the Lyceum men
withdrew in favor of Cancel.
A long discussion upon the manner in
which Clintons vacancy should be pro-
vided for followed. 1t was finally left
to committee consisting of the presi-
dent and Messrs. c. B. McManus Of
Westboro 7. F. O'Reilley of the Ly-
ceums and G. H. Spaulding Of Marlboro
1t was stated at the meeting that a
mistake had been made in turning down
Spencer's application for membership at
the meeting week ago, and the COM
mittee was instructed to visit that town
some day this week to look over the
ground and report at the next meeting
Milford, South birmingham and Card
ner were also suggested as towns that
would make good drawing cards in the
league, and letters will also be
sent to those places for the purpose of
seeing what can be done.
The president appointed as the sched-
ule committee Messrs. McManus, O'Reil-
ley and Spaulding, but nothing will be
done toward the making out of the
schedule until the membership of the
league has been definitely determined
upon The managers were requested
to forward to the committee at their
earliest convenience, their preferences
for dates for holidays, etc. According
to the vote passed at the meeting, the
season will open on May 81 and close on
Labor day, Sept. 8. 1t was suggested
that in case several towns were found
anxious to be admitted, that the league
might be increased to eight clubs, which
suggestion met with considerable favor.
After discussion of several other mat
tiers pertaining to the working of the
league. the meeting adjourned subject to
the call of the president.

to believe, will be able to hold his own

Bransfeld, during his playing season,
will have no excuse for forgetting his

for Boston he wore the elegant gold
watch that the members Of the Normal

which he played prior to signing with

CLINTON ALSO WlTHDRAWs
League Perfects Organization
and Looks for New Clubs.
Cancel Has Conference With Rice of

pendent Team in Wor-
cester.

1t may be that the Central Massachu-
sets League will exist only on paper,
and that it will not live sufficiently long
to see the opening of the league season.
The organization which sprung into
existence week ago Saturday is still
alive, but just at present its fate seems
TO hang in the balance. A week ago
the outlook for a successful season was
bright, but in the past "a hours there
have been developments that may lead
to permanent disruption. Frank Con-
naughton has announced that Clinton,
one of the towns admitted to member
ship a week ago, will withdraw, and
this morning the. Spy is able to state, as
will be seen below, that Charley Cancel
has decided that he too will not place
team in the recently formed league
At the last meeting Cancel was one
of the prime movers and assisted active
ly in drawing up the constitution and
bylaws. He expressed his belief that
the league would be a success and pro-
missed to be on hand again yesterday
when the second meeting for the perfec-
ton of the organization was held. The
of directors were elected, and a COM
mittee on schedule appointed. Cancel
was not there, but this did not arouse
a suspicion that he intended to pull out,
and he was made a member of the board
of directors. While all this business
was being transacted Cancel was in
Worcester in the interests of the team
he intends running here, but not as a
member of the Central Massachusetts
League.
Cancel came to Worcester from
Springfield on the 2.20 train, and at
once Went to the Forrest House at
Washington square. There he met Ma
mayer Charles F. Rice and Joseph f.
Norcross of the Grafton Baseball Asso-
citation. together with representatives
from East Douglas and Whitinsville.
They were closeted for nearly three
hours, but at the conclusion of the con-
