was had in landing these game fish.
There was a warm baseball game
yesterday afternoon between the
Brownsville team and the Fort
Brown nine The first few innings
were very we'll played, neither side
being able to score very heavily.
About the sixth or seventh inning
the town boys seemed to become
somewhat demoralized, and the
soldier team slugged them right
and left, and began to pile up runs
until at the conclusion of the game
the score stood Is to 8 in favor of
Fort Brown. While the game was
not so good as many that have been
played on the post diamond, sew
eral good plays were made on both
sides, but it was the town boys
time to suffer defeat, and they got
it good and strong. The town boys
tried manfully to even up things,
but it was no go, the soldier boys
holding them down successfully
until the last. A good deal of
good natured "guying" went
OH during the game, and both
sides took their share with becom-
ing good huruor.

cERNE GIANT DISAPPEARING
Interesting Survival of Prehistoric
England Rapidly Descending
Into Native Oblivion.

An interesting survival of pre-.
historic England is threatened
with destruction owing to neglect.
This is the "Cerne Giant" a colos.
sal human figure cut on the side
of a lofty hill that oyerloOks the
picturesque village of Cerne Alb
bas, eight miles north of Dor
chester.
1t is several years since the fur
rows which outline the giants fig
ure were secured and refined with
chalk. Gradually the latter has
been washed away by the winters
rains and it is now barely Wis
ible. Grass has so encroached on
the channels that, seen from a dis
lance, the details of the gigantic
figure are hard to trace, though
the unc0uth human form is still
recognizable. The cost of reno.
waiting the giant is estimated at
about f12, but no one in the local
ity knows where the money is to
come from.

Necessities of a Happy Life.

There are two fundamental ne
cessities for a happy life, namely,
a useful occupation for mind and
body, and an outlet for unselfsh
affection. The first requisite for
enduring happiness is in having
work to do in which one believes.
Such work always aims at the
accomplishment of something
useful. While this work must be
done with fair efficiency, it should
not be accompanied with too much
drudgery or exhaustion. The sim.
pier the plan in which oue's living
is modelled, the less will be the
complications and disturbances
caused by an over-elaborate scale
Of existence, and the more time
will be left for the real duties ant
pleasures of life. - "Vital Dues

TO BOWL THE PROPER WAY
Method Is Suggested Of Getting Ben
ehcial Exercise Out Of the
Sport

Nothing is right simply because
it is old. In fact, the more an
tique a thing or method is, the
greater the probability that it is
wrong. We pat ourselves on the
back and call ours the age Of i'm
prOvements, but every age has
been called that, and the people
thereof have prided themselves
accordingly, says the Brooklyn
Eagle. We ridicule the Chinese
for being tied up to the Ease meth
DDS and superstitions of their fore
fathers, but many of our supersti
tons and methods are just as ri
diculOus. This is true in marked
degree in the case of two of our
sports. We saddle and ride the
race horse as did the old fogies Of
200 years ago, when a little com
mon sense applied to the subject
would make any horse five pounds
faster than he is under the present
antiquated system, Take also the
game of bowling. For some hun
dreds of years this always popular
game has been played in a manner
to produce the minimum results
so far as the chief purpose of the
game is concerned, which is to pro.
vide healthful exercise.
BY the method which is about to
be suggested bowling will provide
exercise as perfect as rowing or
bicycle riding, and probably the
very best exercise to be had in
doors. AS to the minor purpose of
the game, the development of skill
in the scoring of points, the new
method will, with the same
amount of practice, result in even
greater proficiency than has been
attained in the old. Furthermore,
a perfect sphere may be used,
while now it is necessary to bore
holes in the ball for the insertion
of the fingers. The propermethOd
Of rolling the ball is as follows:
The player toes the chalk line,
standing square with the alley.
with his feet well apart. He takes
the ball between the palms of his
hands, and in order to hold it thus
brings into play every muscle of
fingers, hands and forearms. He
then raises the ball up over his
head, naturally keeping it in the
central line of his body, inhales a
full breath, swings it downward
and backward between his legs as
far as his arms will reach and,
leaning well forward, discharges
it with great force, the impact Of
the discharge throwing him back
into an upright position. Bowl
ing in this way brings into play
every muscle of the body from the
tips of the fingers to the toes.

Already it is doubtful this year if
the eastern Thanksgiving tables
will not CLEAN but sparsely with
the glorious red sauce, for hardly
had the pickers begun work when
the adroit western buyers were
on the scene, riding out in eyery
direction from their headquarters
in Wareham, examining the boys
critically and making their offers
before the fruit men of Boston
and New York were aware what
was going on. Their progressive
ness is in line with recent require
ments. Last year nearly 800, 600
barrels were more widely distrib-
uted than ever before, hundreds Of
carloads going everywhere. The
tendency is more and more toward
the naturalization Of the berry.
Everywhere on the Cape one
hears of the proftableness of the
industry when it is scientifically
conducted. Thus an acre of bog in
Plymouth county yielded a net of
$4,000; a bog of 81 acres for 10
consecutive years yielded over 600
barrels annually, and earned for
its owner $40 a day net profit dur
ing the entire period; a bog of If
acres yielded $4,000 annually in
1901, 1902 and 1903; a bog of ten
acres paid for itself in three years;
a bog of As acres paid for itself
seven times in Is years. A bog of
16 acres yielded 300 barrels, or
lS4 barrels per acre, in 1904; an.
other of 12O acres yielded 1O4 bar
rels per acre the same year; stock
holders in another bog received "a
dividend of 81 % per cent. in 1904;
stockholders in another have nev.
err received annual dividends of
less than 10 per cent. during the
past II wears.
