1t is very interesting to read of the
modern regeneration of that most an
Gent Of countries. Egypt-how the
great river, the Nile, has been seized
by inventive genius and science apd
made to water a worthless desert
waste and convert it into the most
fruitful and productive of arabic land;
how the wise, enlightened and safe
financial policy imposed upon the coun-
try by England is redeeming the ma
ton in financial way, and how under
the very shadow of the pyramids and
the sphinx and in sight of the ruined
temples Of civilization old as human
history there are being evolved in the
twentieth century new nation and a
new people.
Somebody has to do the dirty work.
No matter to what degree Of refine
ment we may attain as people, that
which we term the dirty, disagreeable
work of life can never be eliminated or
lodged. Somebody must wash the
dishes, do the family washing, milk the
cows, clean out the barns. The very
effort to be refined and civilized but
makes more of this dirty work to do.
A type Of education which leads one
to look contemptuously upon and avoid,
If possible, these omnipresent and dis
agreeable duties of life is defective to
the core. That education which en-
apIes the possessor to do this sort Of
dlsagreeable work with true manly and
womanly dignity is of the right kind.
The true American is a man not
ashamed to be seen dressed in wamus
aud overalls.

It was a hard pill for o'Rourke to swallow. but he could not help it. The Blues put up the best ball they have shown this season, and the rooters were proud of them.
 The game drew a great crowd. There were 1,50O paid admissions, the largest Monday attendance of the season. A contingent of several hundred from Bridgeport occupied seats in the grand stand and cheered throughout the game for the Orators.
 The particular feature of the game was Hayward's playing and batting. Out of four times at the bat he got a sacrifice. three base hit, a home run and struck out once. In the field he had two put-outs, three assists and one errer. He scored all the runs of the game.
 A dispute occurred in the fourth in- ming over a hit of Ladd's along the right field foul line. The umpire called it foul, but many believed 1t fair. The re suit of the game depended largely on this decisicn, but was Bridgeport's fate to lose it, Tn escore:

TREES PLANTED AT NIGHT.
More Likely to Live Than if Trans
 planted in the Daytime.

NAoAS LihSiy " IlVe LlHH II ITdHS- planted in the Daytime. t It was long since observed that bud
 ding trees, when transplanted in the evening and immediately and copious- ly watered, were much more likely to thrive than those that had been nov ed in the day. But this knowledge
 did not lead to any well-defined the-
 ory on the subject until the experi-
 ments of M. Rene Rounault, a French expert, proved beyond a doubt that distinctly beneficial results could be gained by transplanting wholly at might.
 Being called upon to transplant a large tract toward the end of May, 1903,
 M. Rounault determined to work at might, and in order to be sure that he
 made no mistake he transplanted a
 Holland linden, which had been in his own nursery for five years, at 10 o'clock at night He carefully watered the tree, and the branches which bore
 buds were freely moistened. The lin-
 den did not appear to suffer from this ltransplanting, and continued to grow normally, without showing any signs of weakness. Encouraged by this suc- cess, M. Rounault performed the work of transplantation entirely in the night time, The results were excellent,
 though the choice of the species was lextremely wide, containing many
 which do not readily submit to the pro- cess of transportation.
 With reference to the precautions to
 be observed, should be stated that trees
 should not be transplanted while their buds are too tender, and that the work should be done between 10 o'clock D. n., and o'clock a. m. It Is desirable that the roots should be covered with earth
 which has for several days been expos
 ed to the effects of air and light. This should be settled by copious watering, which forces the earth between the
 roots, and not by pressure with the feet
 For the first fifteen days after trans
 planting the boughs and leaves of the trees should be abundantly sprinkled l-Philadelphia Record,
