Easy Victory for Ninth.

In very one-sided and uninteresting af-

feated the team from Bethany. the score
being 10 to 2.
Three pitchers were used up by the losers
and each in turn received his bumps. The
Ninth boys simply outclassed their oppo-

Stukert and Moreland for the winners and
the base running of Rider and Zannelli

Engineering Feats of the Ancients

THERE is not an engineer IN the world who
will not admit that the marvellous accom-
plishments of the ancient Egyptians in building
the pyramids is unparalleled by any modern
engineering achievements.
The pyramids of Gizeh, erected more than
five thousand years ago, stand the monu-
ments of a departed race. These vast silent
hulks of masonry are objects of wonder
and envy to the modern engineer. They are
perfect in masonry, and some of them contain
blocks of stone weighing from three to FIVE
hundred tons. The most remarkable thing
about the construction of these pyramids is
that the stone of which they are built must
have been brought hundreds of miles across
deserts and over mountains.
Even with all the appliances of this age, it
would have been well nigh impossible feat
to transport this material over the same routes
the Egyptians brought it with no improve
ments whatever. There seems every reason
to believe that these ancient children of the
Nile carried the immense blocks of granite
by hand or horse power
In one place in Egypt there is an immense
pyramid in which are buried the sacred bulls
Of the Egyptians. This ponderous tomb is
divided into separate alcoves, in which are
solid granite sarcophagi containing the bodies
of the bulls. Some years ago this pyramid
was entered, and an attempt to move the sar-
cophagi was made. 1t took host of men
with modern appliances three weeks to move
one of these granite collins one hundred and
fifty feet.
There are some monstrous stones in the
temple of Baalbec, Syria; and the Peruvians
had method of transporting immense stones,
which nowadays would, if known, mean for
tune to engineers.
Among the feats performed by the Egyp-
tians was that of erecting obelisks weighing
four hundred tons and over. The Romans
were also eminent engineers. Near the tenn
pie of Baalbec there lies a stone ready quarried,
which is seventy feet long and fourteen feet
square. 1t weighs eleven hundred and thirty
five tons.

The Change

At fond and happy lovers tales

Now all the pictured glory pales-
They did not tell the half.
Whence comes this change? Who cannot CUES
Deserves to know not more, but less.
At loves romance once did jeer-
At best l deemed it folly
Full stern alike to tender cheer
And tender melancholy.
But now, though still the secrets mine,
Romantic love would enshrine.
For Cupid's power erst felt scorn.
All! Love, forgive the madness,
Since truest penitence is born
Of this new perfect gladness.
You know why doubt has taken flight
You heard her whispered Yes" last night!

Library at Paris and that of the British
Museum at London. 1t contains a million
and half volumes and twenty-six thousand
manuscripts.
The most important accession it ever re-
ceived was probably at the time of the sup
preston of the Society of Jesus in Russia,
when most of the Jesuit collections were
transferred to the imperial library. Among
them was the famous collection of Count
Zaluski, consisting of two hundred and sixty
thousand volumes and ten thousand manu-
scripts, which had been installed at the Jesuit
college in Warsaw. The most important
manuscript in the library is the =" Codex Sinai
ticns" of the Greek Bible, brought to Russia
by Professor Tischendorf in 1850 from the
convent of St. Catharine on Mount Sinai.

Toothpicks
TOOTHPICKS were in &C

T'OOTHPICKS were in common use in an
L Gent Rome. Sometimes they were made
of quilts. but preferably of the wood of the
mastic or lentisk tree, whose astringent and
aromatic gum is known to modern dentistry.
Martials epigrams frequently mention the
dentisealpinm or toothpick, and recommend the
wooden kind above the quill. The toothpick
was taken to England by travellers from
Italy and France.
AS Mares says. The using of it in public
was long deemed an affected mark of gentility."
Shakespeare takes this view when he makes
one of the characters in King John remark:
Now, your traveller
He and his toothp;ck at my worship's mess
And when my knightly stomach is sufficed,
Why then suck my teeth and catechize
My picked man of countries"
The most fantastic use to which the tooth
pick has ever been put was the sixteenth and
seventeenth century fashion of wearing it in
the hat as a trophy or an ornament.

Work and Play

Work and Play
Since thinking makes it so," why not
Change all our work to play,
And Just by thinking have lot
OF pleasure every day?
The mental attitude is all
We need to set us right,
And change our toll, which now we call
A sorrow. to delight.
The toilers on the golf links strive
Like Trojans day by day;
They walk long miles and sweat and drive
And yet they call it play"
And others in soft office chairs
Their trifing duties shirk
While wishing they were otherwheres,
And still they call it work.
Just watch them at the tennis court
Go charging for the ball!
They deem such awful labor sport
They think" it's so. that's ALL
'Twere easier to NOW lawn
Or saw a cord of wood
And why not exercise the Drawn
In doing something good?
So let US change our point of view
And quite transpose the names
Which heretofore we've given to
Our 1abors and our games.
Then on the toilsome courts and links
No more well work all day;
Wen then be of that class that thinks
That saving wood is play.

Luck of a Windfa11

THE harsh forest laws of William the Con-
/ queror are responsible for the meaning of
good luck now so often associated with the term
windfa1l. Under the Norman it was a criminal
offense to cut down timber in the forests; but
as the peasants were allowed to gather what
ever wood the wind had blown down they al
ways hailed storm as an omen of good luck.

Freedom of the Press Restored.

Atlanta Journal.
State sovereignty has scored once
more in it's contest with the Federal
powers that be.
1t will be remembered that Judge
Pritchard recently went so far as to
issue an order that the two cents
passenger rate ruling of the railroad
commission Of the State OF Virginia
should not even be published in the
newspapers of the State. In all the
long history of Federal court ag-
erosion nothing more impudent,
more subversive, OF the fundamental
freedom Of the people OF the country
has heen recorded and n wave OF in
dignation swept over the United
States. The liberty OF the press was
assailed from a quarter and in a
manner least expected. 1t was about
the climax OF Federal oppression.
But in the meantime the Governor
of Virginia has been taking a vigor-
Gus stand in regard to the enforce
ment OF the new rate law. Strength
ened by the success of Governor
Glenn's victory in North Carolina,
the chief executive OF Virginia has
made it very clear that he proposes
to uphold the laws of the State, aud,
realizing this fact, the railroads have
decided that it would be the part OF
wisdom to come to terms. They
have agreed that if they are given
q reasonable time in which to make
arrangements they will put into
force the new two cents rate law,
pending the final decision of the
courts as to its constitutionality.
Involved in this agreement was the
necessity, of course, OF publishing the
new rate in the newspapers, and
Judge Pritchard has consequently
been compelled by force of circum-
stances to modify his order. He has,
therefore, actually been generous
enough to allow the newspapers to
publish these rates, as the law d.
reefs.
1t is Just such orders as that OF
Judge Pritchard, prohibiting the
newspapers from publishing these
rates, which inflame popular resent
ment against the courts and rail-
roads. The average man can see no
justification for it whatever. 1t looks
like blow at the very foundation OF
our organic law, and it could not
fail to arouse the resentment of the
whole people.
1t is far from the best means OF
coming at a common sense settle
ment OF the grave questions at issue
between the people and the corpora
tions-between the State and FEEDER
al authorities, and Judge Pritchard
has acted wisely in modifying his re-
markable order.

Credit Where Credit is Due.
Norfolk Virginian-PilOt.

Norfolk Virginian-Piot
The hopeful view OF the future OF
the jamestown Exposition expressed
by Secretary Cortelyou and the indi-
cation given by him that the Govern
ment is in no wise disposed to press
it's claims against the enterprise,
leads the NeWs-Leader to say:
"Give the devil his due 1t is right and
just and decent for Virginians to keep in
mind that the present Federal admins
tration has been ceaselessly generous in
it's treatment OF this enterprise of ours,
has held its hand when it might have de-
strOyed. has lost no opportunity to de-
fend and help"
This is especially applicable to
President Roosevelt, than whom the
Exposition has no better friend.
From the very incipiency OF the I'M
dertaking he has accorded the Expo
sition hearty sympathy and effective
support which were decisive factors
in securing for it Congressional rec
ignition and the subsequent appro-
priation, without which the patriotic
celebration must and would have
fallen far short of what it is. That
this appropriation was delayed and
the completion of the enterprise
thereby held back beyond the date
set for it's opening was due to no lack
of interest or effort on the part OF
the President, but rather is it charge
able directly to the unreasoning stub
bornness and hostility of the Speaker
OF the House OF Representatives who,
by virtue OF his authority, prevented
that body from acting in the matter
sooner. Iii fact, it is safe to say
that, without the aid given by Mr..
Roosevelt, there would have been no
Government appropriation at all, or
a comparatively insignificant one at
best. Nor has the interest of the
President in this great and patriotic
undertaking since tagged one iota.
Evidence OF this is found in the fact
that he has already visited the Expo
sition twice, on the opening day and
again on the occasion of the Georgia
Day celebration, and it is not i'm
probable that he may come still
again before the gates are finally
closed. For this interest in an un-
dertaking in which they have such
an enormous stake Mr.. Roosevelt is
entitled to the gratitude not only OF
Virginians but OF Southerners gener-
ally, and we doubt not they accord
it to him fully and freely. Whatever
else may be true Of the people of the
South, they are not ungrateful nor
are they slow to give credit where
credit is due.
