An Irishman, who. much to his wife's sorrow, had got into the com psny of men who managed cock fights, determined to raise some game roosters for himself. So he got some prize eggs and put them under the old hen in the back yard.
 In order to teach him lesson and discourage his growing vice, his wife removed the prize eggs from under the unsuspecting hen, and put in their place some ducks eggs.
 Some weeks later the wife heard B commotion. in the woodshed. She rushed out. and there stood Pat, watching with delight the first efforts of newly matched duck to waddle.

BIG DAY AT JENNINGS.
sloan Won $15,oOo on a 100 to I
 Shot.


 Shot.
 WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The big gest killing" of the meeting at Ben nings was scored in the first race yes terday when Tommy Foster, 100 to l shot, romped home an easy winner.
 Cash Sloan, the jockey who rode him, won $15, ,O00 on the race, and his owner, A. F. Doyle, and few of his intimate friends also made small fortunes.
 Tommy Foster opened at 200 to 1 in the betting, but, under the flood of five, ten and twenty dollar bills which poured into the ring on his chances, the price steadily fell until at post time 100 to 1 was the best obtainable.
 Once the barrier shot up Tommy Eos ter jumped away from his field and, leading all the way, won by length from Eloim, 15 to chance, who beat Shrine by head for the place.
 Three favorites and two well played second choices captured the other events. Demurrer, an odds on favorite, won the fifth race by neck in hard drive from Daly. Odom landed Colon say, one of Daly's horses, at z to 1, a winner by short head. Ornature, in the last race, broke his leg after cross ing the wire and was destroyed. The track was very fast and the crowd large. Splendid sport is promised for the remainder of the meeting.

AN EFFECTIVE ALARM CLOCK.
Not Only Awakes the Sleeper, But
 Gives Him a Jayuins at s.s#s v the Same Nme. <.

ng-a-ding a-ding a. ding! Get up, you siazy. loafert It's seven o'clock!' 2 Those strenuous words, preceded by the tinkle of a brisk lit- tie bell, caused ia visitor in West Philadelphia house to hop out of bed the other morning with immense sud- denness,, says the Philadelphia Rec ord. tl
 The words were so authoritative that he had the same. feeling of sub mission lie had when a ischoolboy and his father called him. So he jumped up now without question.
 j What had. awakened him was @ photographic clock, an ingenious ar rangement devised by his host, which was so set that the same spring which started the alarm started, a moment later, photographic att tachment The maker of the phono- graphic clock said he thought of patenting it.
 ..You see,,' he said, "the phono- graph speaking to you after the alarm wakes you, can be made to say different things-can be made, for instance, if you have an impor- tant engagement, to tell you of it- can be made to state emphatically to you, don't you know, the reason why you should arise. Usually my photograph says to me: Get up, it's seven o'clock. Get up, or the boss will dock you for being late.'"

spinnaker For the Reliance.

BRISTOL, R. l., March 2s. It has been decided by MT. c. Oliver Iselin, the managing owner of the Reliance. that the racing spinnaker for the boat will be made out of combination of silk and sea island cotton, which will give it both strength and lightness. There was a proposition to make the sail entirely of silk, but it was thought that the material would easily tear. This sail will be used only in very light weather, two other spinnakers being constructed of heavier material for strong winds.

Plants to Destroy Insects.

It is suggested ill the October, 1902, bulletin of the Trinidad botanical department that pitcher. plants, which possess the property of cap turing and killing insects that ven- ture into their flowers, could be proftably employed in preventing the ravages of cockroaches among orchids. By interspersing the pitcher plants among the orchids it is be- lieved that the orchids would be, to a. great degree, protected, because the pitcher plants have an attraction for such injurious insects as cock reaches, and seldom let them get away. The pitcher plant fourishes under conditions of heat and moist ure quite similar to those that are most favorable to orchids.-Knowl- edge.

THE DIAMOND.
Frank Donahue Says Yale Has 8 Great Team.

There Are Three Finds in the Team,
 so He Reports-The New York Teams Still Continue Strong in Prac-.
 tice-Long Joha Ganzel Showing Up
 We'll. >..
 New Haven, March 2s.-Frank Donahue, who has been coaching the candidates for the Yale varsity battery for the past six weeks, will go to-day to join the St Louis Americans league team, of which he is a pitcher. Last night in speaking of the candi- dates for the Yale nine, he said that he believed the institution would have one of the fastest teams she has had in three years. He declared that Yale had three genuine finds in Second Baseman Frank O'Brien and Pitchers Jackson and Bowman. All are fresh men.
 "O'Brien, think, is the most prom ising player on any American college team. His headwork is in evidence all the time and he can field with the majority of the professional players. .tMetcalf who is now at shortstop is one of the fastest men to get after a ball or beat out hit in the college world. TS will make his mark this season.
 "One of the points in which Yale will be strong this season will be base run ming, a department which has not been kup to the standard for two or three seasons"
 Atlanta, Ga, March 2S.-Notwith- standing the walIoping the New York Americans gave PowelPs Atlantas Thursday there was no let-up in the practice work. Manager Griffith had his men out on the grounds for the us ual morning and afternoon sessions, and continued his coaching along the line of team play.
 l There was no game here yesterday, 1 but one will be played to-day. Wolf, who pitched for Kansas City last sea- son, will get trial in the box and it l is probable that Tannehill also will have chance to work his whip. Tan nehilTs ankle is still stiff, but he has done fast work in practice neverthe- Hess.
 Powell will have his regular team in the. field to-day and Griffith has i'm. pressed his layout with the idea that they may not have as soft snap as they had on Thursday. Griffith is out for winning ball. We've got to win all the time," he said yesterday s.There'll be no let-up along that line.'
 One of the agreeable things to the American manager is the way in which Long John" GanzeI is belting the ball. When Ganzel played with the Giants he couldn't hit barn door Now he handles himseff at the bat like 2 Delehanty, and his work promises to be a arevelation to New York fans. q knew he, could hit,'' said Griff, land that's why I was so anxious to have him on my team, and when it comes tc fielding. there isn't first baseman in l of the big leagues who has anything on him. He'll make good all right, and I can rest easy as far as he is concern 1 ed.''

INCIDENT OF DELHI DURBAR.
Young Woman Who Rode an EIe- phant objected to . Snapshot
 Made of Her.


 Many people, especially among the mo- bility of Great Britain, got their first glimpse of India at the d1irbar when Lord Curzon was officially elevated to the viceroyalty amid scenes of unpar- alleled pomp. One young woman had an experience there she will not soon forget, reports London paper. She has not been in India long, and one day expressed desire to try ride on an elephant. At once tower ing animal was procured and spe cially convenient howdah placed on it's back. This animal had had long experience in conveying people on it's back, and had been trained to assist them. to mount with it's trunk. Nat urally the young woman was not aware of this trick, and when she sta- tioned herself close to the animals head while one of the group of off, cers standing round made preparations. from the inevitable ssnap shot" she deemed herself quite safe. At length the camera was quite ready and the op- orator was just pressing the buttoE when there was shriek from the fair
 
 turn to all points of the compass, with the elephants trunk firmly wrapped around her waist.
 Extrayagant bids were made by those present for the plate of the pho tograph, but the owner was prudent young man, and took, it to- the embar- rassed one, showed it to her, casually mentioned that promotion was not coming his way as fast as he could de- sire, and then handed the negative to her to destroy. This she did, and, to the young officers surprise, he found himself attached to the staff of the lieutenant governor very shortly aft erward.
 First Known of the DuhIfa.
 A strange spindly plant with nod ding little flowers was sent from the City of Mexico to the, Madrid botan- ical garden in 17s4, and, being new to the botanists, was named Dahlia, after Dahl, a Swedish botanist. Flor ists soon noticed the great possibil- ity of variation in the flower in color and size, but it was rare in Europe until Humboldt brought from Mexico quantity of the seed.
