1t Is To Be In The State Base
Ball League.
Good News Comes From the City BY the Sea
Through Manager
Qs,.n,e

Here's to the State Baseball League.
All doubt as to it's formation is as a
mist that has flown away.
Manager Rivers, of the Raleigh Base
ball Club who went to Wilmington to
canvass the situation, sends back cheer
inG.
The news that came from him yester-
day was that arrangements had been
made by which Wilmington would enter
the State League and would put strong
team in the field.
This is gratifying news. as it insures
in the league six North Carolina towns
which have sticking qualities, and sea-
son of genuine sport is to be expected.
The North Carolina League as now
composed consists of Raleigh, Durham,
Charlotte, New Bern, Greensboro and
Wilmington.
The salary limit is one that VIII not
handicap any one of the cities and the
circuit is one that involves no great
number of miles to be travelled.
In Wilmington the full details of the
club of that city will be arranged at a
meeting to be held on Tuesday night.
At this time delegTres will be elected
to represent Wilmington at the State
meeting to be held in Raleigh on We'd
nesday the 18th of March.
The league season will probably begin
the middle of May, though this will be
decided on Wednesday at the State meet
ing, when the question of schedule of
games. umpires and other matters of
moment will be discussed.
The following telegram received last
night from our special correspondent
shows how the practical end of the bus
mess is to be managed in Wilmington.

Cool Garden Spots.

A glacier when 1t dislodges itself
and sails away over the Arctic ocean
never travels alone. In the wake Of
every large one floats line Of smaller
companions.
The Eskimos call this phenomenon
''the duck and duclslings," and any
one who has watched the progress Of
the elder duck followed by her brood
will appreciate the aptitude of the
name.
Strange as 1t may seem. plants grow
and blossom upon these great ice
mountains. When n glacier is,at rest
moss attaches itself to it, protecting
the ice beneath, just as sawdust does.
After time the moss decays and
forms soil, in which the seeds of
buttercups and dandelions, brought by
the wind, take root and flourish.
Those who have Travelled in arctic
lands say they have found no point
yet where the poppy does not bloom
during the brief northern summer.

A young man who spent his summer
new instances of the thrift and shrewd-
ness of his landlady are constantly
thrusting themselves upon his atten-
ton.
One day n wagon load of unexpected
relatives descended on the farm, and
the mistress was, as she afterward
frankly said, put to it" to provide
enough food for dinner. She brought
forward among other things an apple
pie which seemed to the boarder far
inferior to the pies she usually made.
But when she served it she spoke Of
her reputation as piemaker.
"They do say at the sociables that
nobody's pies quite come up to mine,"
she remarked, with a beaming smile.
"and apple pies are what you might
call my speciality I've often been
asked for the recipe, but tell 'em it's
knack and Judgment does it, not rule"
The pie disappeared, and then, when
her guests We're not rs hungry as they
had been, she brought forth second
pie, flaky of crust and luscious to the
taste.

gest of the party, boy of twelve, 81

The power of song among the brute
creation has 80 long been associated
in our minds with the feathered tribe
alone that we do not think of it as be-
longing to any four footed animals.
Yet there is mouse that sings-why,
nobody knows. 1t is small animal,
with very large ears, which are moved
about much while singing, as If that
were necessary to the success Of the
vocal performance. The song is not,
rs you think. prolonged squeak with
variations, but a succession of clear,
warbling notes, with trills. not unlike
the song of canary, and quite as
beautiful though some Of the notes
are much lower. One great popularity
Is sort Of double song, an airswith
accompaniment quite subdued. Uptn

Is listening to more than one mouse,

The Necessity Of My.tery

To be content in utter darkness and
Ignorance is indeed unmanly, and
therefore we think that to love light
and find knowledge must be always
right. Yet as in all matters before
observeG wherever pride has any
share in the work even knowledge and
light may be ill pursued. knowledge
is good and light is good, yet man
persisted in seeking knowledge and
the moths perish in seeking light, and
If we who are crushed before the
moth will not accept such mystery as
is needful to us we shall perish in like
manner. None but the proud will
mourn over this, for we may always
know more if we choose by working
on, but the pleasure is, think, to
humble people in knowing that the

Bathing to many persons is term

because they do not cleanse the skin

Now, the skin is everlastingly throw

which will be readily found in the APP

Mine. on Mountain Top,.


Nothing in engineering is more ro-
mantle or curious than the fashion In
which the ordinary conception Of a
mine as an opening penetrating far be-
low the ordinary level is reversed
where inducements offer to climb high
above the earth's surface before pierc-
ing into it.
There is, for instance, the Eureka
gold mine. probably the highest in the
world, situated $4,000 feet up In the
Andes range, not far from the city of
Jujuy, in Argentina. So high is this
mine that it is only worked with great
difficulty owing to the "mountain sick
ness" and to similar troubles to which
workers at this immense altitude, al
most three miles in the air, are sub
ject.
Near Chocaya, in Bolivia, there is the
Veta del Cuadro mine. where silver ore
is extracted 1900 feet above sea level
while the same metal is wrought near
Peopo. in the Cordilleras, 1900 feet
above tide water. The produce from
all these Is carried on mule back over
tremendous mountain paths to points
where it can be placed on rail or be
concentrated into more portable form
for further transit by wagon to the
seaboard.-Stray Stories.
