1877 VARIETIES OF
THE MERRY WIDOW
IN CRUSH OF FANS
AND THEN IT WAS
JUST TO MEAN THAT
NEWARK TEAM LOST

exclaimed the one with her, who had
seen a game last Wednesday. and
consequently considered herself an
authority on all baseball questions.
"They have a mar on the roof TO catch
them"
Just look she added e~acitedly,
that Buffalo catcher is making signs
to the pitcher how to throw the ball. 7
don't think that's right, do you? It's
as bad as talking over the board at a
whist. It's against the rules of any
game to give signals" and she bounced
back as If she would have liked to
march out on the field and give the
men q piece of her mind.
"Oh, well, if Buffalo was playing fair,
our men would not be losing" sweetly
remarked the other with conviction.
isn't it mean for a woman to bring
a little baby to a place like this. Every
time the men shout it cries. Poor little
dear, / suppose it's scared to DEATH"
why don't they ring the bell for the
Tigers once in a while. They never
give them any notice. l wouldn't play
if l was on the team" said a young
girl with a hat as big as the moon.
Aren't all the men nearly of a size!
1 wish had brought my opera
glasses"
"Oh," with a little scream did you
see that man slide for that white bag
in the corner. His lovely white suit
is just as grimy as--I should think
they'd have a little pride about their
appearance when the %grandstand Is
full of girls
I'm cold. | guess I'll go home"
said a tail girl in a white shirtwaist
and white straw sailor. Il do not see
what men find to rave about in base
ball. Why. every inning is alike. If
you want to know my real opinion, 1
think it's decidedly stupid
Sometimes 1 do not wonder that men
laugh at women. Nearly every one of
those girls took 1t as a personal at
front because Buffalo kept scoring. At
one time their misses could be heard
away over on the bleachers. II the
Tigers had won it would have made
all the difference in the world. l bet
that if a Newark girl should meet a
Buffalo man she would not speak TO
him.
A lot of girls were terribly disap-
pointed at not seeing Stallings. He's
their special matinee baseball hero. and
of what use is a hero if he is not on
parade?
1t was a great day for fenininity,
though ii had its disappointments, but
as one wise young thing remarked,
what can n expect for nothing. I
suppose they are saving their good
players for the pay days.

PNEUMATIC CLOCKS In PARIS.

The city of Paris is being rapidly
supplied with a system of public clocks
worked by compressed air under cleo
trical control.
The entire area of the city Is divided
into sections about a mile and three
quarters in radius, and in the centre
of each section Is a sub-station proyi-
ded with a reservoir of compressed air
from which air pipes extend to all the
clocks included in the section.
By meGn of electromagnetic, ener-
gized every minute with currents from
the commutator controlled by the mas
ter-clock at the central station, the
air pipes are Internationally connected
with the reservoirs. and thus the COM
pressed air, once every minute, drives
forward the hand of the clock.-Wash-

WOODPECKERS.

The woodpeckers have so long been
looked upon as the good friend of
mankind that it would seem imperti-
nent to bring any charge against
them, and yet the good they do is of
very doubtful quantity. As they peck
around the trees in the fields and or
chards to devour the worms and in
sects they make no distinction be-
tween the destructive and the nom
destructive creatures. In fact, their
choicest morsel of food Is a small
creature that spends it's entire life In
eating the most injurious tree insects
that we have. Unless the woodpeckers
can make up for the loss of these
beneficial insects by keeping down the
injurious ones the birds must be class
ed among the %nuisances rather than
the friends of mankind.

CHARACTER GUESSING.

All the players sit around in a circle.
The player who first thinks of an inter-
esting character in, one of Grimm's
Fairy Tales, or in "Alice in Wonder

familiar to all the players, sits on the
floor within the circle inc begins to

children listen carefully, AMI the
first one who thinks he has guess
ed the character sits on the floor
besides the other an continues to
describe the character. If he has
guessed rightly and is correct in his
description the first player allows him
to go on describing, but if he is mis-
taken, the first player Shoes him out of
the game. AS soon as a child thinks
he has guessed the character he sits on
the floor and tells what he knows of

but let them slip through their fingers
like as much quicksilver.
And such batting! 1t was awful. The
Bisons had it all over the home team
from the very first inning, when they
scored four runs, causing Sailing, in
his private box, which looked for all
the world. like a coop, to look most
apoplectic. Clearly, the Newarks had
lost their nerve, and they didn't find
it, even though they managed to get
three runs to their credit. Don't you
think my baseball jargon is improving?
That game put a terrible damper on
the spirits of the sweet young things
who filled the grand stand.
Imagine going to a matinee and find
ing that your favorite hero was falling
down in the very role in which you ex-
pected him to shine his brightest!
Well, that's just what happened yes
terday. The Newarks were our heroes,
and the villains kept them down all
through the show. They didn't even
triumph in the last act.

girl say to another, 'they give us a

they let us in for nothing they think
any old kind of a game will suit us.
But it isn't fair, 10 you think SO? Be-
