Pat Tebeau and his gang of tough ball
players, by their rowdyism, profanity, and
indecency, killed the sport in Cleveland,
and were forced out OF that city by the
indignant protests and displeasure of the
citizens, who refused to give them their
support. 1t was, therefore, to be supposed
that Frank De Haas Robson, when he
transferred his club to St. Louis, pTofiting
by past experience, would insist that his
manager should SO conduct himself as to
bring credit rather than reproach upon the
game. Mr.. Tebeau is not carrying out this

At meeting of the human curiosi-
ties connected with the Barnum 6
Bailey show, now on exhibition at the
Olympia, the following resolutions
we're UNANIMOUSLY adopted: "Where
as, the press and public of both hemi-
spheres, without Just cause, have for
many years past gratuitously and
voluntarily bestowed the term freak
upon all human beings differing in
any way from ordinary mortals; and
whereas, the term freak is opprobi-
ous, aud without any specific mean
ing in an anatomical sense; and
whereas, we feel that the term so un-
Justly conferred upon us, without our
consent, is an indignity; and where.
as, because, fortunately or otherwise,
we are possessed of more or less limbs,
more or less hair, more or less bodies,
more or less physical or mental sat
tributes than other people, and which
might be taken as additional charms
of person or aids to movement, as the
case may be; and whereas, because
we, differing so from the ordinary or
regulation human being in that we
have certain marked and distinctive
characteristics of mind or body, we
hold that to be no reason whatever for
being called freaks therefore, be it
resolved, that we, a majority of the
living human curiosities in the Bar-
mum & Bailey show, emphatically pro-
test against the application of that
word to us, and severely condemn its
general assignment to those who, for
their benefit or otherwise, were cre-
ated differently from the human fam
lily as the latter exist to- day; and re-
solved, that, in the opinion of many,
some of us are really the development
of higher type, and are superior per-
sons, inasmuch as some of us are gift
ed with extraordinary attributes, not
apparent in ordinary beings. Lon

Nearly all, if not all, varnishes used
on shoes harden the leather. To
remedy this, rub the leather with
sweet oil, or any good, suitable oil.
An excellent homemade shoe polish
which will give good iet-black polish
is made as follows: Mix three ounces
of ivory black, two ounces of molasses,
one ounce of sulphuric acid and one
ounce of gum arabic; dissolve in q
little water, just enough to make it a
liquid. Add tablespoonful of sweet
oil and pint of vinegar. This makes
liquid polish. Half pint of vinegar
makes a paste. Put the blacking or
liquid in a wide-mouthed bottle, and
apply it with piece of sponge stuck
on the end of heavy wire attached to
the cork. Oil shoes we'll in slushy
and rainy times to prevent the damp
ness penetrating tue leather. Calf
skin, made with the outside of the
leather on the outside Of the shoes, if
kept well oiled, is nearly as damp
proof as india-rubber. Such shoes,
however, should not be worn over
carpets, as they wear them out, and
leave behind the tracks of mud.

A German lady, arriving for the first
time in England, drove to first-class
London hotel, asked for room, and
was shown into very small, scantily
furnished one. She said, in a deter
mined manner, and in very broken
English: Il will not have this room"
mo, ma'am," said the porter, and
brought in the first box. Mani" re-
peated the lady, emphatically, Il will
not have this roomw NO ma'am,"
said the porter, and brought in the
second box. The lady thought her
faulty grammatical construction was
the reason for the porter's continued
obstinacy, and repeated. with a stern
distinctness: Man, l will this room
not have" "No, ma'am," said the
porter and brought in the third box,
whereupon the lady left the room in
dignantly, but the porter drew her
hurriedly back across the threshold,
pulled a rope, and. to her intense as
tonishment, the lift went up.-Tit-

Many years ago Emerson, in letter
TO college boy, said: Newspapers
have done much to abbreviate express
sion and SO to improve style. They
are to occupy during your generation
a large share Of the attention. and
the most studious and engaged man
can neglect them only at his cost. But
have little to do with them. Learn
how to get their best, too, without
their getting yours. Do not read when
the mind is creative, and do not read
them thoroughly, column by column.
Remember, they are made for every
body, and don't try to get what isn't
meant for you. The miscellany. for
instance, should not receive your at
tention. There is a great secret in
knowing what to keep out of the mind
MS well as what to put in. You can't
quote from a newspaper. Like some
insects, it died the day it was born"

A West of England paper states Il
problem which is at present perplex-
ing the authorities of Morrab Gardens
at Penzance:
A bright-hued kingfsher comes
and goes with much regularity. His
iridescent plumage daily flashes in
the sunshine about 1.30 p. M, when
he perches in the trees near either of
the two ponds. Awaiting quietude
and chance he dashes into the water,
secures a gold or silver fish, flies up
to the elms, and makes dinner.
That digested he finds another oppor-
tunity, and has fish tea. Now,
kingfshers are not plentiful, except in
Oxfordshire. They are certainly rare
about Penzance, and, under ordinary
circumstances, the life of the Morrab
Gardens visitant would be spared.
But this diet is costly, and the fish in
the pond, often fed by the crumbs OF
admirers, are OF more general interest
than the bird. Which is it to be-
shot bird or fishless pools?

Weights of Vermont Deer.

noticed some time ago in your
paper comments on the weight of deer,
and it occurred to me that you might
like some items on this subject from
Vermont. L have an impression that
our deer in many instances have ex-
ceeded the average in weight. In OBJ
tanning statistics, most of the reports
give the estimated weight of the ami
mails, but in many cases the actual
weight was given. A great many OF
the deer weighed over 200 pounds. In
some instances have written personal
letters to the men who captured the
deer and ascertained the truth of the
original reports, and have received in
reply four letters giving the actual
weight of the deer killed as 231
pounds, 261 pounds, 316 pounds and
80 pounds. j. w. Titcomb, in Forest

No more brilliant illuminations and
hard white or red lights, drawing ones
eyes to their binding brightness, and
leaving a CHASTITY paleness mixed in
with the shadows in out-of-the-way
corners. Instead there must be
steady soft-shaded light, which is Sc
cured by numerous lamps or candles,
or both, so arranged and adjusted
that each will be adapted to meet its
own particular requirements, and to
do its own part in producing the ef-
feet which all together are designed
to give.
The work of lighting home with
taste and discrimination has become
an art in which ones own judgment
must do the greater part. The chief
effect to be desired is a warm restful
glow, and the thing most to be avoided
is any central or conspicuous points
of light which will attract the eye to
the light. Lamps are almost exclu-
sively used, with the assistance of the
little waXen tapers, which in pretty
candelabra are always acceptable orna-
ments, either lighted or unlighted.
The desired effect is produced by the
proper distribution and shading, which
can only be decided by experiment,
always remembering that no single
light Is to be taxed to the utmost OF
its power, and that the suggestion OF
largeness and hospitality is given by
keeping the remote corners, par
ticularly in room which is longer
than its width, trife brighter than
the centre. At times q peculiarly at
tractive result is secured by making
secluded nook or cozy corner
veritable bower of brilliancy, though
for the most part it is preferred tc
keep these little recesses mysteriously
shadowy by means of heavy draperies
and SINGLE small hanging lamp OF
lantern, giving dim religious light.
