Quaint Customs in Shetlande

The only part of the United King. dom in which the old style of reckon. ing time is adhered to is the archi. pelago of Shetland, and there Sun. day, January 13, was New Years day. But Sunday being with the natives strict dies non for business or for pleasure, the next day witnessed the high inks incident to the occasion. These included processions of "guis. ers,'' or mummers, and the drinking of various strange toasts, such as: sHeit to man and death to da gray. fish, and the health of the 12 apos. tles In Shetland the remnants of the old Morse language finger to such a degree that the dialect is al- most a sealed book-even to Scots men. The last specimen of the great auk, whose eggs are now valued at something like 1oo guineas apiece. was done to death there, but the lit. tie auk still retains precarious footing on the lonely islet of Foula.- London Mail.

HUNDRED YEARS HENCE,
The FearsOE,e Future Woman to Whom the English May Be Ex-
 pected to Look Forward.

This is what the writer in one of the English magazines predicts will be the state of affairs when another century rolls around:
 By that time women will be all six feet in height, many of them con- siderabiy over, while the average height of man will be five feet nothing. Woman will be strong and lusty; broad and heavy in build, and will be very proud of her large feet, thick wrists, powerful limbs and great muscular development, while men will have grown. vain of their trimly-corseted waists, nice pink and white compleXions and soft voices. ]
 Hove will not have been complete ly done away with, though sentiment will have given away to common sense. Every woman will be required to marry and support two husbands, one of whom must be useful: do- mesticated creature. capable of tend ing the children and looking after the household (while the wife is away in the city earning good money to keep the home together), and the other will be a better looking, and therefore more ornamental creature (not a general utility man like the 'housekeeperO, whose duties will be to act as companion or, gentleman help to the mistress and ruler of the mansion, and keep things up to the mark generally.
 ''Women century hence. will all wear 'bloomers,' both literally and fguratively speaking: any woman transgressing by appearing in along- tailed skirt will be condemned to act as public street scayenger for as long period as the local council shall de- termine.4 Women will also wear . .mustache, and the faces of men will gradually become smooth. Cooks will no longer be at premium, as tiny tabloids of food will take the place of the elaborate dishes of the past.

James Gilligan of Lawrence ex- presses his willingness to wrestle Shack for any part of $500 at any weight from 12S pounds up. Gilligan also says that he is ready to meet John J. Little on the same terms that Little offers Shack
 There is talk of a match between Dick Casey of Lowell and Shack, Frank Moran of Lynn offering to match Casey against Shack for from S1UO to SJ0O a side at 133 pounds. It is stated on good authority that Shack has no backing.-Brockton Times. Right you are. He had to get back ing in Waterbury ill his match with Kelly.
 John F. Kelly having defeated May ser, it is now being urged in Water bury that he be matched against Bothner Bothner and Kelly would make good go in the opinion of BrOcktOn men who have seen them work. Swanson, whom Parker threw in New York the other night. has stated that he is to challenge Kelly Kelly and Swanson were matched not long since. and Swanson failed to make good. as claimed by Kelly Brockton Times.
 Parker states that he is matched to hiCCt DCliiliti Gl 4oo pOuLIS, hSlSi in at the ringside. S1OO forfeit He does not say when, but it seems safe to surmise that he will not reduce weight before his match with Leon hardt. Parker at hIS weight will be much weakened, and the go should be very lively. He was at 13G pounds when he wrestled Bothner in Water bury and punished him so severely. It will be remembered that the men wrestled over an hour, and there was no fall Parker concluding the cere- monies by sitting on Bothner and breaking q number of his ribs.--Brock- 1 ton Times.

The articles were sent to Parker and he was to return them to Boston, where the match was made yesterday. Ii will be remembered that about a year lago Leonhardt challenged any wrest- Ter in the country. and that Parker offered to take him on. Several let ters were written to Leonhardt, but

 It is said that Amos Rusie former ly star pitcher of the New Yorks, has agreed to play with the Philadelphia American league club. Connie Mack saw him at Indianapolis on Sunday and the big fellow was willing to talk business. In addition to Collins, the Boston American league club is reported to have reached terms with Stahl and Freedman. also of the BoS- ton National league team, and to have made a big offer to Fred Penney to jump. Bradley of the Chicago Nation al league club is said to have signed a Cleveland American league club con- tract, while Comisl<ey's Chicago club is reported to have secured, in addi- ton to Clark Griffith, Heidrick and Wallace of St Louis. The National league men have fifty agents out try ing to sign their players and are meet ing with some success. The Brooklyn club has made the most progress, with the signatures of Keeler, Kelley and Kennedy. Dahlen signed some time ago. it is said, and Tom Daly has vir- tually accepted terms.
 Roger Connor has not done very much in the matter of base ball for Waterbury the coming season, but he has done about all he could do until base ball weather gets under way. He has sent out contracts to all the mem bers of last seasons team and some of them have been returned signed. Many he has not heard from as yet, and there are several that are holding out for more pay. Those who are de manding bigger salaries have secured good positions in factories or at some other employment and they do not care to give up those positions unless the salary attached to base ball is made an inducement. The writer overheard q conversation last night which if true will make the big fellow hustle to get several new players. It 1 was said that the best of last season g l team will demand an increase in sal | ary and if it is not forthcoming they will not play ball this season. In all | fairness to Manager Connor. he paid as high salaries as he could pay last season. The attendance did not war rant any fancy salaries and in all prob ability there will be no fancy salaries l paid this season. There will be a base ball team in this city, you can rest assured on that fact, and Manager l Connor will have a team that will 1 compare with any of the other teams | in the league.

When man tells about putting snow shoes on his horse one immediately thinks that there is some joke on or that the man is talking about the arc- tic region, but it seems that such things occur nearer home. A farmer from Sidney was in Augusta, who said he came without much difficulty, as he had trained his horse to wear snow shoes. He said that without the aid of these it would have been almost im- possible for him to have made the trip. Lewiston (Me.) Journal.
