ment. The only rhinoceros in
America and as fine specimen

The Value of Water.

Medically, the internal use OF water

The Boy and the Rats.

In large warehouse in Liverpool a
boy named Edward Scott was EN-
ployed to run crrands. There we're
many rats about the place and he was
told that II he could catch one and
SINCE its tail all the others would
leave. A trap was set and rat was
caught but while singeing its tail ac-
cording to directions the lighted paper
blew into pile of straw and started
a confic grafton that burned four BIZ
buildings and inflicted loss Of hall
a million dollars. There are some
smart boys in this world, but there
are also some smart rats, and it Is
just as well to keep them apart. II
the rat had caught the boy and singed
his hair there might have been eight
buildings burned.

WORK AT The GROUNDS
Being Rushed Along in Most
Pleasing Manner.
Management Feels Confident That
Webb Park will be in Readiness
for Opening Game.

The Lime Burners met with some
more bad weather yesterday at Can
ton and were unable to play. The
team has had four games called off
on account Of the rain since leav-
inc here and the result has been II
rather severe financial loss to the
management. Under fair weather
conditions the team would be in
good condition by this time and
practically all of the men would
have been given at least one trial.
Within a few days after the
opening of the o. and p. season,
on May !. arrangements will be
made TO open the local amateur
baseball season at Garfield park
and it is expected that the various
leagues organized under the direc-
ton of the Y. NJ. C.. A.. will be
much mere successful than was the
case last year.
The diamond at the park is be-
ing put in condition for playing
under direction of the street COM
1rissioner's department and the lat
ter part of this week there will be
daily practice. on the grounds. The
comh1g of the O. and p. league
tc Marion will undoubtedly do
much to boost the amateur base
ball here. 1t is expected that at
least four leagues will start the
amateur season. Each league vii
be composed of at least four teams
and probably more.
A large number of base ball en-
thusiasts went to Delaware yester-
day and witnessed the Wesleyan
Milwaukee baseball game. The
game ended with a score of 20 to

Curtis of Delaware who pitched
here on many occasions in the past

collegians. !

A Definition Of Success.

How have the hypothetical scien-
lists and the opponents of unbelief
benefited themselves or humanity at
large by sowing the seeds of doubt
broadcast in the world? The real sci
entlsts do not fall in this category, for
they are believers in the real sense of
the word; they know too much. they
have seen too many mysterious mani
festatlons of the Divine creative pow
er. Now. those who have disposed of
the Bible and all evidences OF inspira-
ton, have written great many books
and some Of them have won what the
world at large lightly calls fame. Ac-
cording TO the ordinary measures that
are applied in such cases, they have
been extremely successful. but real
success means the benefit OF human
ity In some form or other. II no such
benefits can be shown as the result OF
their labors, their success is not equal
to that achieved by the direst poverty
and the deepest ignorance. - Joel
Chandler, in Uncle Remus' Magazine,
