Several new preparations have been
discovered for the prevention of moths
and now that the time for the arrival
of these destructive creatures is close
at hand, housekeepers may be inter-
ested to know what they are. Both
chemical and vegetable compounds are
among them. and they have a better
odor and are said to be as effec-
tive against moths as the old familiar
moth preventives. A preparation con-
posed of the finely shaved bark of an
Oriental tree is pronounced a good
moth defer, and it has tolerable aro-
matte odor. A compound of camphor
mixed with the dried and powdered
leaves of a spicy herb is another pre-
ventive that does not declare it's bust
ness too loudly A powder that has a
resinous, wholesome smell is still an
other alternative for people with SEN
sitive olfactory nerves.

FOSSIL BEDS IN IDAHO.
University of California Expedition
 Meets with Great Success i'm ThatNState.

Prof. John c. Merriam, of the Uni versity of California, has returned from the recently discovered fossil beds in Idaho, from which he and his assistants dug ancient remains that will materially help science in clear ing up some of the myst teries con- corning the appearance and habits of prehistoric animals, says a San Francisco report. The exact results of the expedition are yet to be known, however, as the fossils are still inclosed in their matrices of rock and need to be chiseled out and classified by the scientists.
 The expedition first spent ten days unearthing specimens at Soda Springs, Idaho, and left them at Wood Canyon, near the railroad, for transportation to the university. The specimens are all ammonites, taken from the lower triassic strata of the fossil beds. The party then visited Paris, where a number of fragments were found. At Evanston, Wyo, however, the most important results were obtained, consisting of the bones and vertehrae of a number of reptilian monsters and animals. These latter are particularly valu- able, as they are expected to demon- strate the evolution of the ichthyo- saurus from the rhyncocephalus, a fishlike reptile.

CITY AMATEUR LEAGUE.
Two Games Only Played in This
 raoe,a on so+urdov f+arnoon

League on Saturday Afternoon.
 Through some misunderstanding there were but two games of base ball played in the City Amateur league on Saturday. The regular schedule called for the St Josephs and the North Ends to play at the Driving park, but at the last moment announcement was made that a change was made and that the Brooklyn Athletic club and the Pas times would play on that field and the other four teams would meet on River side park, All six teams appeared on the Riverside park grounds, and as the original and official schedule called for the Brooklyns and the Pastimes and the Washington Hills and the Merri- macs to battle, those were the teams which played, and the St Josephs and the North Ends did not get together.
 The first game played was between the Washington Hills and the Merri- macs, and this was won easily by the Hills by the score of to l.
 The second game was more exciting and after an interesting battle the Brooklyns defeated the Pastimes by the score of Il to '.

 If the St Josephs and the North Ends had come together on Saturday it would have been one of the 1ercest battles yet played in the league. The packers of both teams were on hand and it was said there would have been plenty of Uncle Sam s'paper wagered.
 The race in this league this year is going to be one of the best of any sea- son. Some of the teams have not yet got into the running. but when they settle down before the third series starts there will be fun all around The Brooklyns are fighting hard to re- tain their title of champions which they won last season, and several of the other teams are determined that they will not win this season. The Washington Hills are out for the pen nant with a vengeance and they claim they have it cinched. The St Josephs and the North Ends are right with the leaders and between those four teams the battle will be warm one. The Pastimes and the Merrimacs are not yet in the running, but the people in the west end and the people in the east end are going to work to strength en those two teams and make bid for that pennant themselves.
 Carl Chapin, son of Editor Chapin of the American, will be seen in a North End uniform for the balance of the season. He will cover first base. He has been playing with good success with the Yale freshmen team and will be a valuable man for the position.

A new spirit of friendship is being de- veloped in this country for Canada and the Canadians. The tourist from the States crosses the international boun- dary into foreign country, over which flies foreign flag, without realization of a sense of being away from home. It is a monarchy, but he sees no evidence of the rule of kings. In fact. Canada is American, far more American than the neighboring republic on the south.

 The Hanlon-Yanger bout, at San Francisco, ended in draw at the end of the twentieth round, at which time the referee was unable to choose win- ner between the little fighters. The fight was one of the fiercest ever wit messed in San Francisco, but neither of the boys were able to injure the other, and the contest lasted the limit. In Hanlon, Yanger met one of the great est little fighters it has ever been his lot to go against, and in Yanger Hanlon doubtless met the strongest little man in the featherweight division to-day. The boys have been matched for re- turn fight, which is to take place in September. They will fight at 130 pounds.

Origin of MacarOnI.

Macaroni is said to have originated in Italy. A wealthy man had a cook of marvellous genius. One day he de- vised these tubes and served them up. The first mouthful elicited from the epicure the ejaculation, ''cari," or 'the darlings." With the second mouthfuI he called "mascari!" or "oh, what darlings!" and with the third he called, with emotion, "ma caroni!" "oh, but the dearest darlingsl" and the name has clung to it ever since.
