A GREAT GAME PROMISED.
Annual Baseball Battle Between Nir-
ginia and Georgetown.

Georgetown University and the Cniver-
sity of Virginia will cross bats this af-
ternoon on Georgetown Field. No game
ever played in Washington during the
college season excites the general inter
est awakened by this contest II the day
he pleasant Georgetown Field will be
crowded. it is expected with thousands
of enthusiastic supporters of both teams
when the first man walks TO the plate at
o'clock. Virginia has a small army of
followers in the city, and they always
rally to her support when Georgetown is
the foe
The game will be close. it is thought.
Whatever advantage Georgetown might
have had is apparently offset by the mis-
fortune which has overtaken several of
the players. Devlin will not be in the
game, nor win Bowling. Both are suf
fcring from injuries recently sustained.
There has been a considerable shifting
around in consequence Of the vacancies
thus occasioned. Connor, the big centre
fielder, will take Devlln's place on the
initial bag. Byrne will replace Bowling
at third, and Golden will take Conner s
place. Blewett will probably twirl for the
Blue and Grey
a large number Of Virginia rooters will
arrive this morning. and will Loyalty sup
port their team. There is apparently lit
tie betting on the game as yet George
town supporters are evidently a little dis
couraged by the injuries TO the players,
and Virginia is a tritie dubious on ac-
count of the splendid showing made by
Georgetown against the crack Northern
college teams earlier in The season.

Although it need cause the present
generation no worry, 1t is interesting
to know that, according to careful
computation by a statistician. when
$50 years shall have passed the dens-
!ty of the earIh's population will be
such that each person will have only
two-thirds of an acre. That space,
ifty-fve and one-half yards square,
will have to suffice for all purposes
agriculture, roads, houses, parks, rail-
ways and so on. 1t is estimated that
when the globes population reaches
density, which is about 1000 persons
to the mile. the earth will be full. This
conclusion is reached by a careful
analysis of the growth Of population in
the nineteenth century, and upon that
basis the population Of the earth in
the year 2250 is computed.
Present populations to the square
mile are: Russia, 15; United States,
81: China, 95; Spain, 90; France. 1856;
Germany, 263; Italy, 2S9; United King

Pretty Hammocks This Season.

Hammocks this year come in col
ors beautiful enough to tempt even
the most economical sumLAer woman
to purchase one. Some of the pret.
tiest are in solid colors, the tints be-
ing vivid scarlet, olive green and
ivory white Then there are pink
and blue frammocks that seem un-
suited to anything but comic opera.
Hammock cushions have taken on
literary and artistic tone. Only the
erudite can understand this years
crop. Gibson pictures are embroid.
cred on many of them. Scenes from
some of the historical novels are re-
produced and quotations from all the
poets are there.
One odd thing about the age we
live in is that cushions supposed to
be purely feminine luxuries are now
made up specially for bachelors. For
the summer mans hammock cushion
there are pictures Of poker chips and
pipes, gay old monks with upraised
stems, yachts in full sail. ballet girls
and diving girls all ready to be en-
broidered by feminine fingers In

place for the head OF a summer

A Rural Minister'S Mistake.

An unsophisticated young minister
in rural Pennsylvania, recently or.
dained, not long ago wrote to theo-
logical professor in Philadelphia as
follows: Il am a poor speaker and
find it hard to utter my thoughts clear
ly and forcibly. l have decided
therefore, to take course of instruc-
ton in speaking, and, learning from
the papers that there are great many
speak-easies in your city, ] would be
obliged if you would recommend me
to one" The professor broke the
news to him as eupemistically as pos
sible that "speak-easy' is merely ar
unlicensed drinking place.

Caulihower on Sandy Soil.

The general impression is that
caulif1ower cannot be successfully
grown on sandy soils. and for the
best results it should be grown on a
lively loan. Experience has proven
to the Long Island growers most con-
clusively that it is not the character
of soil, but its condition, that insures
success. The cauliflower, in common
with all other plants. does not feed
upon soil, but upon the elements of
plant growth contained in the soil,
and these can be furnished by the
light as we'll as by the heavy soils.
Then the question arises can it be
grown without the aid of commercial
fertilizer? Yes. but l should prefer,
under some circumstances, it's use.
For instance the caulif1ower has a de.
cided thirst for salt. an element that
can only be furnished by the use of
chemicals. On saline coasts the at
mosphere will furnish that to con-
siderable extent but not sufficient for
It's needs, which on Long Island Is
furnished by the salts used in the
commercial fertilizers.
Last season was one of vicissitudes
with this crop. AMI showed in a few
Instances the value of salt. Let me
state an instance. One of our best
farmers had field. in which he was
to grow caulihower the past year
completely flooded by a remarkably
high tide, the FIRST in the history of
the farm. When the time fo- set
ting the plants came they were set
here the same as in the other fields,
which had been given the same pro-
portion Of fertilizer. When the har-
vest came the flooded field prot@ced
one of the heaviest crops ever
known, and 1t has been stated that
profits were more than $1,000 Ger
acre, while most other fields we're
:otal failures.
If I were to grow caulinower on
sandy soil, I should take piece of
sod and trea. 1t literally with we'll
rottej manure. which should be put

Duintily Served Meals.

The person who says that food
tastes just as good without so much
trouble being spent on the prettiness
of meal should not be allowed to
influence the housewife.
1t is fact that the laboring man
satisfies his hunger from the meal he
carries with him and eats at the way
side, but he looks forward to the en-
joyment of his Sunday dinner. served
on a clean, though perhaps coarse,
tablecloth, with well-polished plates,
dishes and glasses. To him the
meal tastes twice as good as any
other in the week, and because ne en-
joys it more it does him far more
good.
Table influences are great factors
in the refinement of human beings.
A pleasant, wellprepared and daintily
served meal will give a feeling of
peace and good will to those who par
take Of it, while one that is the re-
verse of this causes a feeling of vexa-
ton and irritation which by no
means tends either to good digestion
or to domestic harmony.
This being the case, it is the duty
Of every housewife to see that meals
are as we'll cooked and prettily
served as possible and to teach her
children the refinements of the table.

Hardening or.

"Hardenng off, is term well un-
derstooi by gardeners, but whether
it is properly carried out in prac-
tice is another consideration. We
see so many plants injured or ire
trievably lost by hastily pitching
them out of the houses and exposing
them at once to the burning sun, that
it appears only right to convey few
words of caution to those who adopt
this method. 1t does not pay any one
to get his plants burned up or in
jured, as the appearance of his flow
er beds or even pot plants thus
treated would be very unsatisfactory
for a long time afterwards When
