BASEBALL IN EARLY TIMES.
When the Players Were Cheseu More
for Their local Powers Than
knowledge Of the GaMo.

1t was on those rural fields in the
heyday of baseball that the sport, If
less refined, WIS more picturesque.
That the game was vocal goes with the
saying. Not far away from the truth
was the country captain who described
his team as men who can't bat much,
or field much. but first-rate takers"
To dispute the umpire On every close
decision was orthodox duty-a fashion
not yet outliyed-and it made the rural
ball game forensic as we'll as spectacu-
lar. says Outing.
The country umpire. who was usu-
ally selected by the home team. merits
his specific picture. In the earlier days
of the sport he was chosen for knowl-
edge of the rules simply because the
opposing bucolic mines had so little
knowledge themselves. Lat technical
lore became somewhat secondary as
a credential, and in the ideal rural UNI
pire was sought kind of Boanerges-
Son of Thunder. believing out his
decisions until the welkin echoed, and
able, on the one hand. either to placate
the crowd by good temper or to daunt
1t with strongespeech. That is to say,
the umpire of the time and place had to
own no middle terms of personal tenn
permanent, but be either extremely
crisp or superlatiyely goodnatured and
tactful.

LIBERAL WITH The LANDS.
A Large Amount Has Been Granted
to Public Uses by the state
of Washington.

After nearly 13 years of work
State Land Commissioner Calvert. of
Washington, announces that of the
667, 0S0 acres of land granted the state
of Washington by the enabling act of
1889 all have been selected with the
exception of 3,161 acres. These will be
selected during the coming summer
and the entire grant thus filed, reports
the San Francisco Chronicle.
The granted lands are distributed as
follows: State penal reformatory,
eleemosynary and educational institu-
tions, 100000 acres; state capitol
grant, $4,000; state normal school,
100000; agricultural college, 100000;
scientific agricultural college, 100, 900;
scientific schools, 900; state univer-
sity, 1850 These lands are exclusive
of common school lands, which are
sections 1915 in every township in the
state. Some of these sections have
been lost by inundation and other
causes.
The government permits the state to
select indemnity lands for those lost,
and of this class the state has about
100000 acres to select. Owing to the
scarcity of remaining government
lands it is doubtful if the state can re-
cover very large portion of the school
lands tlrus lost.

SURPRISING NOTICES.
Some Worn ON a Young So
ciety Lady's Belt.

One of the latest fads is the wearing
of belts ornamented with Chinese
characters in silver. The characters
are generally chosen at random, for,
as few persons can read Chinese, the
meaning of the hieroglyphics is re
garded as of no Importance. Never
theless, in the case of one of the belt
ed beauties, the fashion had an ex-
tremely droll result. Quite lately she
met an educated Chinese gentleman,
who expressed his admiration of the
sentiments set forth in the lettering
on her belt. cit is beautiful" he said,
"and congratulate you on the excel
lence of your notices, which think
are unusual in your country" "Oh,
the sentiments" replied the gratified
owner of the adornment, "do tell me
what the characters mean" "There
are but two wishes expressed" said
the Chinaman, ''but as they are re-
peated several times over 1 know they
must be your true aspirations. One is

The Universal Microbe.

Psychologists destroy one by one
our fondest illusions, says Popular
Science News. Hitherto the man in
the street had imagined that were all
the waters of every city and plain pol
luted he would still find immaculate
springs in the Alps. But NJ. Binst, who
presides over a chemical laboratory
at the Pasteur institute, having no
such faith, obtained some ice from the
glaciers of Mount Blanc itself and
placed it under his pitiless microscope.
His verdict skaters the dreams of
mountaineers. It appears that even
the summit, which so long remained
untrodden by human feet, has lost it's
purity, if it ever had any. The ice in
question, and water melted therefrom,
were found, on ARCHAEOLOGICAL an

GERMANY SEtJ2ES PATENTS
Kaixer's Government buys Rights In
Chicago to Automatic Tele-
phone eysten.

The German government has pur-
chased the patent lights covering al!
Europe, with the exception of the
United Kingdom and France, for the
automatic telephone apparatus manu-
featured by the Automatic Telephone
company of Chicago. Charles Evel-
bauer, Of the Deutche Waffen und
Munitions Fabriken, who has been in
Chicago studying the apparatus, has
just sailed for Europe. His firm will
manufacture the equipment for the
German government.
All the telephones in Germany are
owned by the state. The installation
of the American device will necessi-
tate many operators seeking other
employment, as one inspector can
oversee large system.
Under the new system every sub
scriber will have his own machine, and
this will connect with a central auto
matte switchboard, where the call is
automatically registered in decimal

COL. HENRY'S ADDRESS.

R. H. Henry, editor Of the Clarion
Ledger, aud commissioner to the st.
Louis Worlds Fair, addressed large
audience at the court house on Monday
last, on the subject of the great ex-
position and character of exhibit Mis-
sissippi should make. He had good
attention, and seemed to interes. his
auditors.
He began by stating that he was
glad to talk to Brandon audience !;
that it was delight to visit again
this historic old town, that had been
made famous by such men as w. B.
Shelby, VIM. Harper, Richard Cooper,
Judge Mayors, Gov. Lowry, Senator
McLaurin, Major McCaskill, Hon.
VIM. Buchanan, Major Pat Henry and
others, all of whom had made their
impress upon the history of the state.
That he loved Brandon for it's many
delightful associations; that he spent
several years of his young life, here
where he was married 81 years ago,
but felt sad to see so few friends Of
his youth.
He explained that the object of the
st. Louis Exposition was to celebrate
the one hundreth anniversary of what
is known in history as the Louisiana
purchase, which was effected between
Nopaleon and Jefferson in 1903, when
the United States paid SIS, 900, 600 for
all that section of land lying west of
the Mississippi river belonging to
France, reaching from the Gulf of
Mexico to the Canadian border, and
extending to the crest of the Rocky
mountains, out of which had been
carved twelve states and two terri
tories, and comprising 1000, 600
square miles.
The Mississippi legislature, Mr..
Henry said, had appropriated $50, 900
for an exhibit at the ST. Louis exposi-
ton, which would be the greatest in

Dean Tufts. "Yet there are five min

Moral Effect Of Diets.

An exclusively pork diet tends in
fallibly to pessimism. Beef, if perse-
vered in for months, makes a man
strong, energetic and audacious, says
Pearson's Weekly. A mutton diet con-
tinued for any length of time tends to
melancholia, while veal eaters gradu-
ally lose energy and gayety. The free
use of eggs and milk tend to make
women healthy and vivacious. Butter
used in excess renders its users phleg-
matte and lazy. Apples are excellent
for brain workers, and everybody who
has much intellectual work to do
should eat them freely. Potatoes, on
the contrary, render one dull, invidious
and lazy, when eaten constantly and in
excess. To preserve the memory, even
to an advanced age, nothing is better
than mustard.

orized the appointment of state exposi
tion bureau, which had elected him
state commissioner from Mississippi,
and that he was going over the state,
making short talks to show the people
the kind of exhibit that was wanted.
He reviewed the history of all ex-
positions given in this country since
1876, and said that the Worlds Fair
at st. Louis would eclipse them all in
size, grander and beauty.
He described the grounds of the ex-
position, which contain 1900 acres,
doubly as much as ever before appro-
priated for exposition purposes, and
discussed some of the large buildings,
one of which, that to be devoted to
agriculture, is 900 feet through,
1000 feet long, covering 20 acres,
the largest building in the world,
which will cost $1,00O,O0O He
described some of the other buildings
that fourteen trains of cars could

X GREET EMENT.

The arrival of a cable ship, although
not our cable ship, is an event indeed in
the history of the islands. Another
month will see us linked by our own
line to the mainland, and that will be
still greater event, but the entrance
of any cable ship is an event of very
great Importance 1t shows us that the
net work of wires which will in time
cover the floor of this ocean has had it's
first thread laid down. 1t has been so
long looked for and now it is evidently
coming from the cloud land of the
visionary to the solid foundation of the
practical.
The first cable in deep water was
laid in 1853 and other short distances
followed. 1t was laid by Sir Charles
Bright between Port Patrick and Dond-
ghadee. The first cable across the At
lantic was laid in 1858, the first message
being an interchange of compliments
between the Queen of England and the
President This was on August s. and
a month later September 4, after 271
messages had ben sent communication
ceased. 1t was not till June 80, 1866,
that the permanent cable was laid.
Since then cables have multiplied and
so many cross the floor of that ocean
that there is no fear of any Interrupt
ton, unless some great terrestrial cata-
-clysm should occur.
Once the Atlantic cable proved a sue
cess, We began agitating for cable,
and scheme after scheme has been
started and talked about for close on to
forty years. Companies have been
formed, Congress has had bills before
