NORTH ADAMS EASY FRUIT.
Score Was ii to 16 and Game Was Only
"Try-Out" for the Independents.


The North Adams, Y. NJ. c. A. team
fell outside the breastworks in its game
with the Brattleboro Independents Fri
day night, tallying only 16 points against
BrattlebOro's Al. 1t was just a good prac-
tice game for the home team: North
Adams got the ball more in the second
half than in the first, but in neither pc
riod did they have much opportunity to
score. Their best regular man was not
present, but their poor showing was due
more than anything else. to their in
ability to stand up against their OPP
ponents F. Rand who played against
Riley, was the only man on the visiting
team who was anywhere near a physi-
cal match for his man." The particular
feature of the game was Bothwells one
hand dribbling. which was remarkable
Almost without interference he went
round and round, in and out, forcing his
way through columns of men without
losing the ball until he CHANGED to pass
it or try for basket. The crowd was
particularly demonstrative over this fea-
ture. The summary:

was unfastened, and raised the grating in
closing the agents Office with the help of
an iron bar or other implement. After a
careful survey of the post office. railroad
and express companies funds intrusted to

These are usually laid three in nest In
the daytime they are left to the tender

that they are never chilled.
The nests are built within a few feet of
one another and there are thousands of
them. Fortunately the island is seldom Wis.,

are content TO take one or two eggs as
souvenirs, leaving the rest undisturbed.

Electricity in Continental Mines.

from Mines ana Mlnerdls.
The use of electrical power in mines is
rapidly increasing In extent since mine
owners are finally realizing In their study
to attain greater economy In present exist
ing methods that this form of energy Is
best adapted to their needs, and the pur-
poses for which power is required are per-
haps greater in this line OF work than in
any other industry. On the continent of
Europe. especially where competition Is
Keen, general recourse has been had to
electrical power during the last few years.
In considering the reasons for this we have
in some cases simply to consider the facility
and economy with which electrical power
can be transmitted from one central. sta lion
TO great distance Take for instance q
group OF mines scattered over large area.
Here these two advantages alone, namely.
centrallzng the power generation and econ
omy of transmission, render electrical power
unsurpassed for the purpose. Even consid-
ering single mine. the total lengths
amount to considerable, especially Il 8

The Belgian Hare, Mushroom, Waite,
cress and Ginseng Manias.

From the New York Evening Post
The eye Of one Of our western contem-
poraries has been caught by the single line
In a days market report, that mo Belgian
mares are on sale" Commenting on this.
any way remarkable, .for there never were
any Belgian hares on sale as a food product
though three years ago 1t was promised-or
threatened-that they would 'glut the mar
kets.'" just where a craze like the Belgian
hare mania definitely ends Is rather hard to
say, but clearly it has ended when It's fruits
are no longer offered In the marts. When
ping-pong balls were first asked for In
store that didn't keep them any more" il
marked the end of the obsession and this
case is like unto it.
The cult of the Belgian hare certainly had
some noteworthy features. The creatures
flesh was to supply US with an excellent
grade of canned chicken, or might be eaten
under Its own name, for that matter; while
Its skin was the raw material for initiation
sealskfn. The amazingly prolific qualities
of these animals, and the extremely small
expense of bringing them to maturity were
always trifie hard to reconcile with the
fact that they cost $40 or SIS pair. Still,
prices were prices, and the only possible
danger ahead was that the animals would
In time became as common as cats and as
cheap. But, instead of fulfilling its pre-
dicted destiny, the Belgian hare has within
few years vanished from the ken of even
the back pages of the magazines.
Its fate Is by no means unique This un-
rellable creature Is merely one of a con-
siderable group of products, animal and
vegetable. through which fortune Is prom
ised to any one who has little surplus
capital and industry to dispose of. Among
these may be mentioned the sqlIab the
tulip. the mushroom, the spring chicken,
the watercress and the ginseng plant II 1t
were not for these. the rural districts would
never get even with the bunco game of the
city or the sailed mines of the mountains.
OF course. we would not insinuate for
moment that each and every one Of these
is not altogether estimable. nor that large
amounts of money have not been honestly
made from their exploitation. But they all
agree in this one particular: 1t Is impossi-
BILE to figure out on paper any way of los
ing money upon them, while 1t is extremely
difficult in practice to make any.

THE CHINESE MOTHER.
She is steadfast in Affection for Her
Children.

From the Pilgrim.
Inc Chinese mother Is very fond of her
chlidren. She is happy in their company
ana spends much time caring for them. In
Chinese family the birth of a child ia n
greater event than with other orjentaI.
Long before the child is born the mother
performs rites and ceremonies to pronlti-
ate the gods that her child NAV he a bav
After birth the little fellow is wrapned I'm

bag OF sand sewed close around its neck
to keep the little one warm. Great reIoic-
ing follows the birth ifsthe child Is a hoy.
otnerWise there Is an air of chastened dis
appointment. But good Chinese parents
make the best of their little lasses. becom-
ing very FOND and even proud of them 1
nave known more than one Chinese father
70 e1mpit his toddling wee girl for APP
proval, though always with the customary
national verbal depreciation of what he
longs TO one. Indeed. this evidence of ex-
cesslye courtesy may be found everywhere
m TINS strange land. 1t is good form to
Willy what is mine and laud what is thine,
MY good-for-nothing family are all stun
troubling the earth with their presence.
How is your honorable family?'
The fact that Chinese custom has be-
come nodded into certain set forms has
misled many travellers. It is, for inst ance,
generally accepted custom in this coun-
try that gentleman shall remove his hat
When ne meets a. lady with whom he is ac-
quainted. but a Chinese visitor would fan
into error If he assumed that this implied
that women, therefore, reduced men to So
c.al servitude. So In China woman waits
on her husband while he is eating, because
1t has been the custom from time imme-
mortal In the same way If they were trav-
cling he would walk beside the cart white
she rode.
The education of their children is q mat
ter of no small interest to the affectfonate
Chinese mothers. They watch the little
one from the day he is born, to note SUPER
stitious signs Let him cry Justify, and he
will live long, say the old grannies. II he
teeths or walks too soon he will grow up
unlovable in disposition. At first the little
Chinese are not very attractive objects,
presenting rather a scaly appearance due
to the custom OF not washing them lest
they catch cold. A month after his birth
the boys head is shaved. A great feast is
prepared and celebrated, the child now re-
cefving his "milk-name." When he enters
school this name Is changed. as 1t Is once
more when he receives his degree.
