and ON his twenty first Anniversary.
at the precise hour OF his BIRTH are
other answers.
"And then | surprise the guessers by
saying that they are all wrong.
I'm computing time it is general
rule that the law disregards part OF
day. In applying this rule, suppose a
man was born just one minute before
midnight on Jan .. 1880.
AT midnight he had lived but one
minute. yet the day on which he was
born was ended and the law consid-
cred him one day old. SO in computing
the twenty one years which a man
must live in order to reach his MAORI
ty we do not begin with the moment OF
birth, but with the commencement of
the day of his birth.
Now. since we must start with the
first moment Of Jan. ., 1880, ii is per
haps natural to say that this man did
not become twenty-one years old until
the close of Jan. l, 1901. Mathematic-
ally speaking this Is true.
Twenty years in that sense re-
quires that the last moment Of Jan. !,
1901, should have arrived in order To
make the man Of age, and obviously
be was Of age at that point Of time
But here again the rule is applied.
LAS the man was of age on the last
moment of Jan. !. the law disregards
the entire part of the day intervening
between the first moment and the last
| and consequently he became in law
twenty-one years old on the first mo-
ment of Jan. l. 1901, the day preceding
the twenty-first anniversary Of his
birthday.
This rule is a part OF what is known
as the common law and is applied IL

An old branch Of business conducted
by New York establishment devoted
TO supplying and boarding feathered
pets is that of bird funerals. Children
who have lost their canaries or other
songsrers through disease or accident
bring the little cadavers there to be
laid out in becoming style.
Tiny collins just large enough for a
bird are kept in stock; also quantities
of pale pink and blue cotton. The lat
ter is used for filing the bird coffin.
and on it the bird is laid. The effect
when brides remains are "decently"
composed upon the pink and blue is
excellent, sufficiently 50 to console the

The children then convey their coffin
away for interment. Funeral expenses
are light-New York Press.

Efforts to Keep the League

With Difficulty.
TROUBLE is AT KOKOMO.
ON AGREEING TO TAKE TEAM

FORT WILL BE MADE TO STOP
SUNDAY PLAYING.

The effort to keep the |. o. league
alive by transferring the Richmond
franchise to Kokomo is meeting with
obstacles The Good Citizens Com
mittee of Kokomo, has taken the field
against the project because Sunday
base ball is contemplated. The fol-
lowing dispatch has been sent out
from KokomO:
"Offered the Richmond franchise in
the Indiana-Ohio base ball league, the
management Of Athletic park announ-
ces that it will accept the franchise
if Sunday base ball is permitted. 1t

ball and that unless the police board
takes action against the Sunday the
alter at Athletic park and in the city
the citizens committee will proceed

Superintendent Ogg announces
that in the matter Of Sunday base ball
playing he is advised by Attorney Gen

Players Leave.
Nearly all the members of the form
err Richmond league team left this
morning for Muncie where they will
play against the Muncie |. O. league
team this afternoon. Saturday and
Sunday. While in Muncie they will
meet with some kokOmo people who
will make an effort to secure the team
to represent that city in the l. o. lea
que. The only players who will not
make the trip will be Fleming, Brown
and Parker. Brown has Joined the
Marion, Ohio State league team and
it is probable that Parker will sign
with the same outfit. He is also want
cd at Paramount, w. Va. but he does
not want to Join that team.
In the Muncie series Pierce will COW

Hot or Cold Water.

1t is a debatable question whether
1t is a wise practice to drink a cupful
Of hot water Immediately upon rising
every morning. The hot-water fiends
fancy that they cannot live without
their morning drink, but there are re-
liable physicians who claim that this
practice is facilitating to the stomach
and that 1t cannot fail to do injury.
The habitual use of cold water Is an
excellent habit to form. 1t is natural
to drink cold water. Cold water Is q
tonic to the stomach, as 1t Is to the
skin. 1t gives tonicity to the mucous
walls Of the stomach. The practice of
taking five or Elk glasses Of cold water
a day is a good one. 1t will help to
clear the complexion, brighten tho
eyes, and is said to be almost a Ger
tain remedy for puffness under the
eyes.

A New Proposition,


To one in the least inclined toward

desirable place for long-continued res.
idence. But such a one would have
had small choice in the matter, as 1t
CHANGED to be the only hotel there.
The Miners Home was unquestionably
unique as regards architectural de-
tails, having been Constructed by Sec
development of the camp, and enjoyed
the further distinction-there being
only two others equally stylish in
town--of being built Of sawn plank,
although, greatly to the regret of its
unfortunate occupants, lack of season
ing had resulted in wide cracks in
both walls and stairway. while strict
privacy within the chambers was long
ago a mere Renaissance. Without
the Miners Home put up a good front,
and was in reality the most preten.
tious structure gracing the single clut-
tered street of Glencaid. Directly
across the street, it's front a perfect
blaze of glass, stood invitingly the
Occidental saloon, but the Widow Cuff
fly, who operated the Miners Home
with a strong hand, possessed an an.
tipathy to strong liquor, which sue
cessfully kept all suspicion of intoxi-
eating drink absent from those sacred
ly guarded precincts, except as her
transient guests imported 1t internally.
MI. Hampton during the course Of
his somewhat erratic career had pre-
viously passed several eventful weeks
in Glencaid. He was neither unknown
nor unappreciated at the Miners
Home, and having on previous occa-
sions established his reputation as a
~spender, experienced little difficulty
now in procuring promptly the very
best accommodation which the house
afforded. That this arrangement was
accomplished somewhat to the present
discomfort of two v~ociferous eastern

SUCCESSFUL SPRAYING

THE Fruit Grower, of St.
Joseph, Missouri, which is the
leading publication devoted to
horticultural topics in the Middle
West, in a recent issue comments
upon the unusual success which
has resulted from Professor Me-
lander's attempts to rid the We
natchee orchard region of the
codling moth pest.
Commenting upon this sub
ject, the editoriailst says:
while spraying is generally
effective in most of the places
visited, this demonstration was
perhaps the most instructive
seen on the trip. This gentle
man, professor Melander,) had
accomplished with one applica-
ton what others had accom-
plished with prehaps three or
four applications. To show how
thoroughly alive to their own in
terests are the growers of the
Wenatchee Valley, we need only
mention that one firm at Wenat-
chez during the past season sold
twenty-six power spraying out
fits, costing from $500 to .$435
apiece. This was in addition to

IN all respects an enjoyable one,
and after pleasing refreshments
had been served, the guests de-
parted.

ATHLETIC BALL.

Surprising in many respects
any similar affair ever held here,
the annual athletic ball was Civ
en- in the college gymnasium
Saturday night. The committee
from the athletic association in
charge of the arrangements for
the affair worked hard, and is
largely due to their efforts that
the affair was such a GROWING
success.
The gym presented an unusu-
ally merry scene on the occasion
as result of the skill of the dec
orators. Crimson and GRAY
streamers, and Gray streamers,
and other decorations made the
old gymnasium change to a large
extent its inhospitable appear
ance and it looked real cosy when
the dancers had all gathered for
the evenings merriment.
