In the city ag regards the new base

aud which will begin operations for II

There Is u tendency on the part of

of the league for having left some of

explanation that has been made by the
governors of the league is ms follows:
They state that the league has been
formed as IL business proposition,

condition, II became Immediately APP

Discrimination against any of the
Akron teams for any reason other than

the management of the league.
II Is regarded as possible that an at.
attempt Will be made to form another
league in the city, the winners of one
league TO play the winners in the other
for the championship of the city, at

NOW LOOK OUT!

"Take care of yourself" say our friends.
"Ill try to-" we answer. We do take little
care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
and mackintoshes, an army Of people were
bowled out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. They
caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, choked by
inhammations and concessions, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
the fight. The hour you realize that you
have a cold on the chest, place a Benson's
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion is felt. If you think two are needed
make it two. No harm if you were COW
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engagement of blood in the
organs. In this way-with ordinary eau
ton as to exposue-you will break up the
cold and avoid a serious sickness. No
other applications. or any other form of
treatment, will accomplish this as certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plasters have a dis
tinct and positive action and are curative to
the highest degree. Use them with the same
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma-
tism, the grip Cback and chest and all sim
liar ailments. Women, who are chief suffer-
ers from cold weather complaints, should
keep these plasters always within reach.

FLOATING ISLANDS.
One Island, Covering Two Acres,
Seen In the Gulf Stream.


OF all passengers carried by ocean
currents floating islands are the most
interesting. Many of them have been
found voyaging on the Atlantic. These
islands were originally parts of low
lying river banks which broke away
under stress of storm or flood and
6oated out to sea. The Orinoco, the
Amazon, the La Plata and other trop-
zeal rivers often send forth such pieces
Of their shores. Some of the bits of
land are of large size and carry ami
mails, insects and vegetation, even at
times including trees, the roots of
which serve to hold the land intact,
while their branches and leaves serve
as sails for the wind. Generally the
waves break up these islands shortly
after they put to sea, but sometimes,
under favorable conditions, they travel
long distances.
The longest voyage Of a floating is
land, according to government records,
took place in 1893. This island was
first seen off Florida, and apparently it
had an area of two acres. 1t bore no
trees, but it was thickly covered with
bushes, and in one place it was thirty
feet high above the sea level. 1t was
in the gulf stream, travelling slowly
and with occasional fluctuations to
show where the ground swell was
working beneath it. Probably it got
away from its river anchorage in the
spring Of the year, for toward the lat
ter part of July it had reached the lat
itude of Wilmington, Del.
No large animal life had been seen
on it, though there must have been
myriads of the small creeping things
which abound in the tropics. BY the
end of August it had passed Cape Cod
and was veering toward the Grand
banks. 1t followed the steamer lane
routes quite accurately, and several
vessels reported it. One month later
1t was in midocean northwest of the
Azores, and its voyage evidently was
beginning to tell on it. 1t was much
smaller and less compact. 1t was not
seen again, and probably it met de-
struction in the October gales. But it
had travelled at least 1000 miles, and
If, as was thought, it came from the
Orinoco, it must have covered twice
that distance.
1t is quite possible that floating is
lands larger than this one, under more
favoring circumstances, might during
past ages have made the complete jour
ney from America to Europe or Africa
and so brought about a distribution of
animal species. OF course it is not alb
solutely certain that this island went
to pieces in October. 1t might, though
this is not probable, have floated down
into the region of Gains and seaweed,
where it would be longer preserved

There are but few who devote then
whole time exclusively to poultry and
yet the enormous product Of eggs
and poultry is due to what may be
justly called the extra periods of la
Dor. Yet, small as Is the attention
given poultry, the value of such is
very great. There is no reason, how.
ever, why fair income may not be
derived by devoting the whole time to
poultry. It is done profitably in
France, and there are establishments
in England where hundreds of hens
are kept and many thousands of dol
lars invested. The difference is that
but few are educated to a knowledge
of the characteristics of the breeds
and the proper mode of management
AS our country is large, there is a

and the people of each section must
