The Standing

On Saturday Canaan saw tine end of league base ball for 1908, the contesting teams belng Canaan and Salisbury. The latter team was short two or three of its best players but notwithstanding this handicap, put up good game and kept the Canaan team playing ball every minute in order to win. The score was to in favor of Canaan.
 As we have previously remarked it is bad luck instead of the lack of playing ability that has kept Salisbury in last place. The boys are playing good ball. No other team in the league has shown as great improvement since the opening of the season and better showing is sure to be made by them next year, Although. not including the Lakeville game, they have won but three games and have lost 16 they are not at all dis heartened and were among, tho firsG to league in 1909.
 In Saturdays game neither team scored in the first or second innings. In the third Knickerbocker of Salisbury scored on Scott's high throw to second. The fourth and fifth were blanks for each team. In the sixth for Canaan F. Stanton reached first on Carley $ tumble and stole second, Imhoff hit to Knicker- booker and was thrown out at first, Dempsey hit to Whitbeck and reached second while Jones and Carley were trying to put Stanton out between third and home, Joyce hit safe, Holt then smashed the ball to center scoring Stanton. Dempsey and Joyce. Scott hit to Whitbeck who threw Holt out at third, Scott out stealing second. Sails. bury drew another goose egg from the basket in the seventh. For Canaan P. Stanton reached first on Weeks huff of his fly, Brewer flew to Carley. Heffernan hit to center scoring Stanton. F. Stanton hit to Whitbeck who doubled Heffernan at second and Stanton at first. Both were blanked in the eighth. In the ninth for Salisbury Brazee famed, Whitbeck was safe first on Joyce's tumble, Jones hit high one which +. Stanton and Joyce went after. Each expected the other to get it, consequently Jones was safe at first. Whitbeck and Jones scored a moment later on a wild throw to the plate. Then Flood ended the game and the season by striking out

FURNACE SLAG
 AND "CANDY'' ROADS
SOME NOVEL ROAD EXPERIMENTS
Short Stretches Are Constructed With the BY-products of Blast Furnaces and Sngar Refineries and the Re- suits Closely Watched.

Especial correspondence to The News.
 Uniquely interesting are number of the experiments now being conducted by the Office of Public Roads of the United States Department of Agricul- ture; one being the effort to build dust proof road by combining the heretofore little used blast furnace slag with asphalt or tar.
 Experiments already conducted indi- cate that crushed rock combined with tar or asphalt preparations bid fair to solve ill measure the-dustless road prob lem. Exhaustive laboratory tests have preparations of tar or asphalt may be made to serve as a substitute for crushed rock.
 A road at Chicago will be of slag and asphalt and one at Birmingham of slag and tar. The greatest skill and care will be used in putting down, short ex- perimental stretches and they will then be carefully observed during the trying months of winter. If in the spring it has been established that this class of road remains firm, does not rut, sheds water and makes but little dust, vast step forward will have been taken in road building.
 The office is preparing at Newton, Mass, to lay stretch of what facetious xxri11 lah nl 6.(N r. is probable that nobody except a scientist would go so far ill research as to adopt molasses as road building material, but that is exactly what has been done here. This molasses is the almost useless by product of the great cane sugar and beat sugar refineries. It is sickishly sweet, nearly as black and as thick as tar, and almost as powerful as binder
 During preliminary experiments the molasses was blended with oils and lime water; was mixed with rock dust, with earth and with sand and tried out under heat and under water. It behaved so we'll and held out such promises for ideal roads that the practical test of a real road was decided upon.
 Another experImentor is mixing heavy oils, possessing pronounced asphal- tic bases, with natural soil and sand and competing the preparation so formed with tamping roller. The oiled roads of California have saved millions of dol lars to the farmers and fruit growers by suppressing the dust. The sprinkliug of oil was tried and the dust WAS held in check. Then some of the roads were plowed and the oil mixed with the earth and the mass firmly rolled to properly crowned surface. Splendid results fol lowed in most Instances

Plot Discovered

The managers of the no-license cam paign in Plainfield discovered 8 slick plot of their opponents to carry the town in spite of the intentions of the voters. The plan was for every mo- license voter to receive temperance tract by mail either Saturday or early Monday and in the same envelope was to be "License No" ballot. This ballot was marked in such a way that it would have to be thrown out in the count. A slip enclosed with the ballot said they were sent because there was likely to be a shortage at the polls.

The Alternatives.

They had not been engaged very
long, but already George had made II
apparent that the salary of a junior
shop assistant did not admit of an &C.
static existence amid a sea of diamond
rings, theater stalls or even chocolate
creams.
Recently they walked together to a
neighboring village. The road was
muddy, the wind bitter, and Daisy felt
that life would be better worth living
when she had an opportunity of reviy-
ing herself with tea and hot scenes.
George hesitated outside the only
restaurant in the place, and she smiled
hopefully. His hand stole to his trous-
ers pocket. He fumbled neryously
there for a moment.
"Er-Daisy," he said at last, will
you have something to eat now and
walk back, or shall we have nothing
to eat and go back by train Pear

Hoity Toity.

Queen Elizabeth's time gravity and
state were kept up. In King james
time things were pretty well. But In
King Charles time there has been
nothing but French-more and the cush

This phrase IN modern French is

THE most probable derivation l
know is this: What We call 'seesaw'
used to be called 'hoity toity.' hoity

People speak about their eyes being
tired, meaning that the retina, or see
ing portion, of the eye Is fatigued, but
such is not the case as the retlna hard
ly ever gets tired. The fatigue Is In
the inner and outer muscle attached to
the eyeball and the muscle of accom-
mediation which surrounds the lens of
the eye. When near object Is to be
looked at this muscle relaxes and al
lows the lens to thicken, increasing It's
retroactive power. The inner and outer
muscles are used In covering the eye
on the object to be looked at, the inner
one being especially used when a near
object Is looked at. 1t Is In the three
muscles mentioned that the fatigue Is
felt, and relief is secured temporarily
by closing the eyes or gazing at far
distant objects. The usual indication
of strain Is a redness of the rim of the
eyelid, betokening a congested state of
the inner surface, accompanied with
some pain. Sometimes this WEAKNESS
indicates the need of glasses rightly
adapted to the person, and In other
cases the true remedy is to massage
the eye and its surroundings as far as
may be with the hand wet In cold
water
