At North East the canalites from
Chesapeake City gave the clay
diggers the hardest kind of a task
to defeat them, but the home team
finally landed victorious after one
of the best games so far played by
any of the teams. The score was
North East 8, Chesapeake City 2.
The game at Rising Sun between
the home team and Baldwin tried the
nerve of both players and specta-
tors, it being anybody's game up to
the last half of the ninth inning,
when the Sun boys finally won
out. Both twirlers pitched good
ball and were backed up in fine
style by their teams, who played
snappy ball. The. only error
made by the home players was a
missed third strike by Dare, who
went behind the bat without pre-
vious practice this season and
caught a plucky game. W. Snyder
at second base had a busy day and
took care of his seven chances in
good style.
For the weavers McAllister at
third, and Carr at second put up
rattling games, while P. Jackson
in left field made some pretty
catches.
Baldwin took the lead in the
first inning and held it until the
fourth, when the home team went
them one better. The score at the
end of the sixth inning was a tie at
five runs each, and remained so un-
til the last half of the ninth. In
this inning several of the home
rOoters were threatened with heart
disease, the strain on their nerves
was so great. Riale was sent to
bat in Reeder's place and lined
out pretty single to right; Eng
land was struck by a pitched ball,
and G. Snyder hit safely, Riale
scoring the winning run with no.
body out, and the crowd was
happy once more. The score:

JAPANESE FACTORY GIRLS.

One adimerer of Japan would be
glad if the Mikado could manage to
secure to the working classes a reg
ular Sunday holiday. 1t would be es-
pecially welcome to the poor little
dots who work as apprentices in fac
tories and through the winter far into
the night. They prefer this to re-
firing early into their cold dormito-
ries. Fortunately for them, they do
not need many hours sleep. The
factory girls and all women workers,
whether in rice swamps, about the
Osaka collieries, as shrimp and
cookie gatherers, feeders Of silk
worms or winders of SILK from CO.
coons receive only starvation wages.
In the paddy fields and at the collier
les they seem unsexed so long as
they are at work. The moment they
leaye off they wash themselves,

PUBLISHING THE BANNs.

The custom of publishing the banns

A. d. 240, states that warning of in.

1t appears that the publication OF
banns was habitual in many places

law on the subject, since Gregory

(from Latin bannum, a proclamation;
Anglo-Saxon, ban) being given out in

practice was introduced into France
about the ninth century and in 1176

The earliest enactment on the sub.
iect in England was an order made

to the effect that no marriage should
be celebrated till the banns had been
published in the church on three sew.

WHY SHE YELLED.

Prolonged shrieks Of agony, unques-
tionably those of woman, emanat-
ing from the local Office of the Bell
Telephone Company, just before mid
night, caused night policemen and
various citizens to rush to the place,
fearful that an attack by some evil
disposed persons had been made upon
the young woman night operator en-
ployed there. Policeman Henry Ref,
first to arrive, found the young woman
perched upon her operating table,
calling for help, while huge musk
rat ran about the room in vain effort
to escape Fearing to use his revolt
yer, the policeman took a club, and,
after several ineffectual efforts, at
length slaughtered the rodent. 1t is
supposed it came up from the wharf
and ran into the first open doorway
when frightened in the street.-Cin-

AN AMUSING PARTY.

A most amusing party was held
the other evening not far fAom the
park. There were about twelve in
the party and it was too warm to even
think, so the hostess declared that
they would hold Quaker meeting.
and the first person that talked should
go down to Schultz's for sodas. For
a long while no one spoke, only little
snatches Of popular songs or lifeless
whistle broke the silence, until an
agonized voice from the end of the
porch cried out: Nellie, please get
that internal June bug out of py col
lar, he bites like an alligator"
It is needless to say that he went
for sodas. 1t is not the elaborate
pan for keeping the guests amused
that appeals to most of us these days;
we like to sit still and be comfort
able and an easy chair. few pleas

of iced fruit or glass of cold bever-

SOME USEFUL HINTS.

A plaster cast can often be thor
oughly cleaned by mixture of starch
and water. Make a soft paste OF or.
binary starch and cold water, rub 1t
well over the cast and place the lat
ter in an out-of-the-way corner. Let
it stand for about day, and then
remove the starch with a tiny brush.
Lamp wicks soaked in little vim,
egar and then allowed to dry before
putting them in the lamps will make
the light much clearer.
Equal parts of listerine, lemon juice
and glycerine make an excellent
mouth wash. 1t should be used as
gargle in the morning upon arising.
Salt, though not agreeable, will heal
any small cuts rapidly. 1t is an ex-
cellent disinfectant.
Bits of soap which are too small
to be used, should be carefully laid
aside for laundry days, when they can
be melted and added to the wash
boiler.

BED COVERINGS.

The main use of the coverings at
night is to give the body the warmth
that is lost by the reduced circulation
of the blood. When the body lies
down it is the intention of Nature that
it should rest, and that the heart es-
pecially should be relieved temporar-
lily of its regular work. So that organ
makes ten strokes per minute less
than when the body is in an upright
position. This means six hundred
strokes in sixty minutes. Therefore,
in the eight hours that a man usually
spends in taking nights rest, the
heart is saved nearly five thousand
strokes. AS it pumps six ounces OF
blood with each stroke. it lifts thirty
thousand ounces less of blood in the
nights session than it would during
the day, when a man is usually in an
upright position. Now the body is de
pendent on it's warmth for the vigor
of the circulation, and as the blood
flows so much more slowly through
the veins when one is lying down, the
warmth lost in the reduced circula'
ton must be supplied by extra cover
ings.-American Cultivator.

EAT BEFORE DINING OUT.

To take snack, either LIQUID or
solid, or both, before dining out, is a
wise precaution, on many accounts.
In the first place, without 1t one may
get very hungry before one Is con-
fronted by ones oysters or soup, and
no woman Is at her best when she
feels half famished. Hunger will
drive one to the performance of many
unheard of stunts, but it does not
make a woman more brilliant or
graceful socially. In the second place,
clever and popular girls seldom eat
much at dinner. They peck at this
and take taste of that, but hardly
more. There are people who can
eat steadily and talk brightly at the
same time, but they are generally ell
derby persons, and bon vivants, to
whom the dinner is a material Joy.
In fact formal dinners are seldom
the best places at which to satisfy
a lively hunger. so it is safest to take
at least the edge off before going to
dinner. Lastly, good looks are init.
mately connected with what one eats.

serve fer such occasions, is in a fair

INTERESTING TREE LORE.
Talk With Man Who Knows All About
Woodland Growths.

How many leaves do you think
tree has?" asked the man who had
read it all up, stopping his friend in
the park, relates the New York Sun.
"Of course, you don't know. Some
birches have 100000, and each leaf
has 100000 mouths. I know of 60
year-old birch that had $4,000 leaves
and 35-year-old one that had oniy
5000.
These $4,000 leaves, dried, weighed
only ten pounds and the 5000 dried,
only tEree-quarters of pound. But
they do tremendous work in a season.
During spring and summer, birches
and lindens have been found to ex-
hale 600 or 700 pounds of water per
pound of dry leaves; the ash tree
about 500; beeches, 400; naples. 400,
and oaks, $50. The conifers give out
about 100 pounds tree. To stagger
you still more, an acre of beech forest
of, say, 500 trees, would exhale about
100000 pounds.
'.And the funniest part of it all to
me is that the water ina tree, or the
moisture, really amounts to more than
half the weight of the tree, or from
So to so per cent, while the wood
weighs but 40 to As per cent. In big
forest what you don't see weighs
more than what you do see. Funny,
isn't it?

Let me hit you nearer home. The

now by your deforestation and you'd

COTTON FROM THE FIR TREE.

The Fibres, After Puiverization, Are
Passed Through Special Machines.
Writing from Rouen, France, Thorn

sends the following to the Department
of Commerce and Labor:
The French Chamber of Commerce
of Milan says that an artificial cotton
is now made from the cellulose of the
fir tree freed from bark and knots
The fibres, after being pulverized by
a special machine, are placed in a
horizontal brass, leadlined cylinder Of
some $500 cubic feet capacity and
steamed for ten hours, after which
1000 cubic feet of a bisulphate of soda
wash is added and the whole is heated
for thirty-six hours under pressure
of three atmospheres.
Then the wood or fibre which has
become very white, is washed and
ground BY a series of strong metallic
meshes, after which it is again wash
ed and given an electro-chemical
bleaching by means of chloride Of

heated in a tight metal boiler con-
tanning a mixture of chloride of zinc
and hydrcchloric and nitric acids, to
which is added little castor oil, case
in, and gelatin to give resistance
to the fibre, gives very consistent
paste.
Threads are then produced by pass
ing this paste through kind of draw
plate. These threads, after being
passed over a gummed cloth, are i'm
mersed in weak solution of carbon
ate of soda and passed between two
slowly turning drying cylinders. FL
nally, to give the necessary solidity,
the thread is treated to ammoniacal
bath and rinsed in cold water, after
which the product is pliable and
works well.

trials have been very successful.
