FIRST LEAGUE
FORMED IN 1857

Baseball teams existed. as carly as
lsi5. but TIE first league was formed IN
1877 when ihe National Association Of
Baseball PAyers was organized. This. as
The title implies. was an Organization OF
players.
They did iot remain true amateurs for
long, however, and IN 1871 baseball was
paced sguariy on a professional basis.
when there came into existence the Ma
uonal Association OF Professional Base
BAN Players. II viii be noted that the
players stin gDverned the sport, and con-
tnued 10 do 20 until 1876 It was in this
period that tiere grew up the great
abuses which menaced the very life Of
baseball, namaly. gambling and buying
and selling Of games. In 1876 the players
were doposed fiom the government OF pro-
fessional basehnl. and they have never
since controlled the game.-success Mag

record breaker, says an exchange.
Cold weather kept the growth back
and blossoms did not appear until
about the 6rst of June, aud no frost
having fallen since that time there
is an assurance that the crop will
be the heaviest in many years. Last
year the blossoms on bushes that
grew in open spaces were destroyed
by late frosts and only those plants
that flourish in heavily timbered
lands bore fruit. This year there
will be berries everywhere in the
open as we'll as the timber. The
harvesting of blueberrles is an i'm
portant industry 10 the upper PENN
suia, and annually, when crop con-
ditions are favorable, it furnishes q
good source OF revenue to many hun
dreds of persons for a number OF
weeks. The fruit is shipped to out
side points by the thousands of
bushels.

The State of Michigan closed
its fiscal or official year with a
balance on hand very near to seven
million dollars. Most OF that large
sum will find its way TO all sections
of the state when the next primary
school apportionment is declared.
1t is further true that the legisla tive
appropriations which must be pro-
vtded for during the coming two
years will make it certain that no
lettering surplus will have its head
quarters at the state treasury after
their demands become effective. But
Michigan is keeping step near the
head of the procession and is fort
unately able to hold that place
through the character of her insti
tutions, their work and their pro-
gress, as we'll as to promptly meet
their increasing requirements.

LONELY DoUa5ERrY ISLAND.
No Landing Ever Made There, and
Sighted Only Twice In q Century.

Which Is the loneliest. most desc
late and most inaccessible Island on
the face Of the globe? Many people
~would doubtless plump for one Of the
Crozets, which were recently brought
into notice owing to the wreck there
on OF the Norwegian exploring ship
Catherine. and the subsequent res
cue OF the castaway crew by the Tura-
kina, British steamer dispatched
from Cape Town. for that purpose.
But Hog island. the westernmost
OF the group and the one whereon the
wrecked men spent most OF their time,
is by no means an undesirable place
of residence, says Persons Weekly,
Astounding as 1t does in hares and rab-
bits. penguins, albatrosses and sea ele-
phant.
Heard island, In the same seas, Is
far more isolated. as well as more bar.
rem: but 1t possesses. as does Hog,
a shelter hut for castaways, and Is Wis
tied by whalers occasionally. So too
Is South Georgia. but It has no shell
ter hut, and as II is right out of the
track Of shipping and one unlucky
enough to be cast away thereon would
stand a very poor chance of ever get
ting off alive.
Bouvet island. in the same seas, Is
visited oven more rarely, and on the
last occasion when ship touched
there five corpses were found frozen
on the beach, grim mementos Of some
unrecorded tragedy Of the sea. Pos
session island, in its turn. is still
lonelier and more inhospitable than
Bouvet.
But probably the palm In this direc-
ton must be ascribed to Dougherty Is.
land, on which. as far as Is known, no
landing has ever yet been effected. It
has only been sighted twice in a GEN.
tury, and is officially described In the
admiralty sailing directions as "the
most remote and isolated spot on
earth"
