Diamond Coated Boots.

Everybody has remarked that the
matter applied to boots and shoes
viz, blacking-is a dull blue black
substance entirely devoid of gloss,
but when the leather thus coated is
rubbed over with dry brush the
boot begins to shine like bright
luminary. What is the cause Of this
strange phenomenon is a question
which naturally presents itself to
every well regulated mind. The dia-
mond, as everybody knows and as
recent experiments have abundantly
proved, is nothing more or less than
crystallized carbon. The chief ele-
ment in backing is likewise carbon,
in the shape of lampblack. The fric-
ton of the dry brush on the leather
produces electricity, which has the
property of crystallizing carbon.
The leather, coated with blacking
and brushed, is covered with mil
lions Of microscopical diamonds,
which give to the backing its pc
culiar brilliancy. Accordingly ev-
erybody wears diamonds on his
boots.

For Charity.

He-Was your charity entertain
ment successful?
She-Splendidl We had royal
time-all our pictures in the papers,
and everybody said we did just love-
lyi We took in $4,000 too.
He-Then suppose you cleared
quite nice sum for the hospital?
She--Well, not exactly. You see,
the expenses were very heavy, and
after the costumes and the carriage
hire and the flowers and the ban
quet to the performers were all paid
for it left only about $50 for the
hospital. But everybody said it was
big success.-B Baltimore American.

s.,seity, Not Cowardice, That Makes
Hin Desert Sinking Ship.
Do rats desert sinking ship? Ac-
coraine 70 one of the oldest of ad-
ages they do, and the act has been
commonly accounted to them for
cowardice or gross lack of fidelity.
But Annie Austin Flint in Our Ami
NAL Friends after seriously consid-
ering the case of M. and Nine.
Rat POO and con- concludes that
II, as is probably the fact, they do
leave q sinking vessel, like every
other creature that can get away, it
is sagacity, NOT cowardice, that
makes them do it.
How very ancient this particular
superstition is may be gathered from
the fact that even Cicero in his let
tiers to Atticus speaks of the act
contemptuously and that the elder
Pliny thought it not beneath his
dignity to notice it, although in both
cases It is the desertion of condemn
ed structures, meaning buildings on
land, to which the authors refer.
Even among rats the struggle for
existence goes on fiercely. The COM
mon brown Norway rat is so cum
ming and so fierce that it actually
exterminates all the allied species
with which it comes in contact and
has driven out the original house
rats wherever it has chosen to make
home.
The English black rat, "the spe-
cal ship rat of the world" in Wis
itng the countries Of the globe near
y exterminated the indigenous rats,
Bpt it has been itself nearly annihi-
lated by a species Of the house rat
type that has arisen in the shape of
the Mus decumanus.

How TO Select Flour.

First look at its color. If white
with yellowish or straw colored tint
1t is good sign. If very white with
blush hue or black specks, the -four
is not good. Examine its adhesive
ness by wetting and kneading a lit
tie on the fingers. II it works dry
and elastic, it is good; If soft and
sticky, it is poor. Throw lump Of
dry -four against dry, smooth, per-
pendicular surface. If it adheres In
lump, the -four is good; if it falls
like powder, it is bad. Squeeze some
of the -four in your hand, and If it
retains the shape given by pressure
it is good sign. Flour that viii
stand all these tests can be bought
without fear.-Pearson's Weekly.

Emersou's critieIsm.

When Ralph Waldo Emerson was
Eitting to ID. G. French he rose sud
denly one day and walked over to
where the artist was working. He
looked long and earnestly at the
work and then with an ininitably
drOll expression said, '"The trouble
is the more it resembles me the
worse it looks" After the sculptor
had finished the bust he asked Mr..
Emerson to inspect it. The philos-
opber's opinion was characteristic
of the man. "Well," he said at last,
"that is the face | shave"

Uisu0, Whisky.

When you ask the peasant boy in
Scotland whom you meet after your
dip in the river what is the name of
the river and what is the Gaelic for
water, the river, he says, is called
the Esk, and the Gaelic for water is
uisge. "Uisge!" you say. "That
sounds very much like whisky" And
so it is unquestionably, as the
schoolmaster may tell you, uisge-
beatha, the full Gaelic for the
strong drink of the mountains, be-
ing neither more nor less than a
compound of uisge (water) and bea-
tina (life), evidently the Latin vita
eau de vie, as the French call it.
But what is uisge, which appears
also in the name of more than one
Scottish river? The Esk is simply
uisge, the water, the Oldest form of
the Latin aqua.-Blackwood's Mag

RAIN CUT THE
GAMES SHORT
League Opened Satur-
day With Victory for,k S. &
r., and c. Pafdee Works.

The Factory League opened under
the most suspicious circumstances
Saturday. 1t was expected that Act
ing Mayor Pfeiffer would be on hand
to, open the game for the American
Smelling & Refining team, the cham
pions OF last year, but the president
of the league had been notified a few
days before that the acting mayor
would be unable to attend. There
was no ceremony, therefore, at the
starting of either of the games.
Victory, Saturday, perched upon
the banner of the A. S. & r. team
and the C. Pardee Works. The show
err cut the games short in both in
stances, but both are declared a
game,
The game on the Raritan Copper
Works diamond was between the
champions of last year and the Cheese
brough Manufacturing Company. The
game lasted but six and a half in
nings. At that point the score stood
II to 0 in favor of the A. S. & r.
The champions took their lead in
the first inning, when they Tailed
five runs. 1t was in this inning that
the Chesebrough boys were weakest,
although at no time during the game
were they able to touch the A. S. &
r. pitcher to any great extent.
The battery for the A. S. & r.
was Mullin and Dooley, and for the
Chesebroughs, Callahan and Ward.
The game between the Raritan
Copper Works and the 9. Pardee
Works was played on the Pardee dia-
mond. Only five innings were play
ed here, and the feature of the game
was the pitching of Colyer. The Cop
per Works could not find him. The
score stood IL to l when the boys
quit.
The battery for the Pardee team
was Colyer and Gallagher and for the
Copper Works, Holland and Cluney.
The schedule for next Saturday Is
as follows: American Smelling & Re-
inlng Company VS.. c. Pardee Works
at the Az S! & r. diamond. Cheese
broush Vaseline Works VS.. Raritan
Copper Works, at the Copper Works
diamond. g1t

day minor base ball-that of the sub

players with intent to minimize the
chances OF defeat-will be stamped out

O'Brien, of the American association.

O'Brien devoted many hours of

we're in play. 1t is customary for
the home team, which furnishes the
balls for a game, to keep the supply

Game With Perth AmbOy Works
Was Called at Beginning OF
Sixth Inning.

When the shower struck the Amer
lean Smelling & Refining Company's
diamond Saturday afternoon the Rar-
itans and the Perth Amboy Works
(Sibley & Pitman) were about to
start the sixth inning. It was nee
essary to stop the game then with
the score 4 to 3 in favor of the Rari-
tans.
The game was called at $3.50
o'clock. The Raritans were the first
at the bat. There was promise of an
interesting game throughout and the
first five innings were exciting. Bir-
den Golden and Edward Golden did
the twirling for the Raritans. The
battery for the Perth Amboy Works
was Hornsby and Post. The o

GREAT GAME
FOR LOCALS.
Defeated the WaIdrOns in An
Exciting Contest at Amusement
Park by Score Of 4 to 1.

Is In a contest marked by roofing
such as is seldom heard at an Amboy
game, the Perth Amboys played err
rorlessly and defeated the crack Wal
drons, of Trenton, by a score OF A to
l yesterday afternoon at Amusement
Park. The visitors had eight errors
tailed up against their fielding aver
ages. Burroughs, Amboy's regular
pitcher, went into the box for the
Waldrons by previous arrangement,
but he had to surrender the job to
Case after two innings because he
had pitched a game Saturday and was
not in condition to stand the pace
yesterday. Case, who succeeded him,
did well. Cook twirled a good game
for six hits. Hughes bunch made
five hits, one off Burroughs in two
innings and four off case in seven in
nings.
Al large crowd of the Waldrons'
admirers came from Trenton to cheer
them, and as rooters they're all wool
and a yard wide. Their efforts spur
red a number of Amboyans on and a
spirit of friendly rivalry prevailed
throughout. The mines are we'll
matched and other trip of the Wal
drons from the state capital to the
park on the hill would please the
crowd that coughs up thirty-five In
dams apiece for a seat in the grand
stand on Sundays. Speaking of the
grand stand, a little progress toward
covering it was noted yesterday.
Posts, good heavy ones, have been
placed in position and when work
men can be secured to complete the
roof the fans need not fear the I'M
certainties of u or rain. The at
tendance yesterday was $50.
The ambitious Railways will be
here next Sunday and it's ninety-sey-
en- chances. in a hundred that But"
Burchell, the Ahboyster, who pitch
es for the Eastern League birds, the
Orioles, will be in the delivery reser-
walton when the Railways go to bat.
Burchell stated in a letter to the To-
cal management Last Thursday that
he would pitch here either June 8 or
June 10. AS he wasn't on the job
yesterday he should be here next Sun
day. If he does come he'll receive a
cordial welcome and the R~ahwegians
will probably r~eturnohome sadder but

hands OF the umpire it would not be
so bad, but this is not always the case,
as the men on the coaching lines fire.
~quently carry bad balls. The result
of President O'Brien's thought on the
subject was the invention of a ball
box 81 inches in length, four inches
wide and four inches deep. There
is a funnel or the top and at one end
Of the box into which balls can be
dropped. and at the other end, which
is open, there IL a catch that holds
the balls in until it is turned to re-
lease. n or more of them There
is an opening the entire length of the
box, so that the balls can be seen
plainly. When a game begins the
home team furnishes the hmpire5 with
one of these boxes filled with new
balls, and he can either let Il lie on
the ground near him orxhang 1t ION
the grand stand OF players bench
near bysf The box holds mine balls,
and there is no way that one can be
played out except through the open
end. Players or the umpire may drop
the balls that are returned into the
box after the game starts, but no one
would think OF substituting a punk"
ball, because there is no way of calcu-
lating just when it would be put in
play. and an imperfect one might be
taken out while the home team was at
bat Instead Of the other fellows. fhe
ball box. as 1t is called, is a simple
hardwood affair. that is light but
strong. and will stand considerable
wear and tear.
