The Family Melon Patch.

Many who pride themselves on a good garden and are fond of melons aever attempt to grow them. Cheaper 70 buy at 9 cents each?" Maybe for he first two or three, but if you would ike or dozen or two, enough that if company comes unexpectedly and there S no dessert for dinner, the melons .an richly replace the pastry-that Is ! different matter.
 Despite theories to the contrary, mel ons are as easily grown as cucumbers and there are a number of varieties which will mature unless the summer Is unusually short A rich, light soil, sloping toward the east or south and well fertilized in the hill, will bring the luscious fruit.
 If there is danger from dry weather fll an old pail or oyster can (first per forating the bottom with nall holes) with stable manure or poultry drip pings, sink 1t partly in the ground and keep 1t moistened. This will not only furnish moisture but food.

FOR SEED CORN. tion of the seed to be placed in the ground, he Is not con- tent merely to secure the best species, but wherever possible he will go care fully over the seed and pick out only the largest specimens to be placed In the ground. In this manner the pro duct is generally of much higher standard. It Is difficult to carry out this selective scheme In the case of corn and similar seeds which are made use of In great quantities. In the case of corn, however, the small kernels are generally at the tip of the ears, and In order to get rid of these undesirable pieces a corn-tipper has been invented. The device seems to have been sug- gested by the familiar pencil-sharpener. It Is operated by small crank, and has cone with tooth interior. The tip of the corn ear being placed ln this revolving cup, all the small seed are cut off, leaving only the full-sized ker- nels on the ear.
 Leg Weakness.
 Leg weakness Is due to chicks be- coming heavy rapidly, so that the weight of their body is too much for their legs. This Is not always an alarm ing condition, for it denotes that the chicks are growing fast, and If careful ly guarded and fed properly they will pull through all right. The cause arises from heavy feeding and forcing. which carries the chicks forward so rapidly as to cause the legs to fall. Change the food to light diet of veg etables and feed bone meal In the food. They should also be we'll protected against the dampness, and the difficult ty will soon pass away. Leg weakness Is nearly always due to rapid growth of the body or from lack of uniformity of heat in breeders. If the chicks are small enough to be kept in brooder. Crowd ing and pressing together to keep warm at night Is a main cause of little chicks having leg weakness. No great alarm need be entertained unless the trouble continues for too long a time, but change the food and keep the birds dry.

MURPHY OUTFOUGHT GOODMAN

Tommy Murphy outfought Jack Goodman in their six round fight at the Navarro A. c. in Ulmer park, last night. Goodman showed marked cleyerness throughout the battle, but at the end Tommy had his opponent in a groggy condition and Goodman was forced to hold to save himself from punishment.
 In the first two rounds the fighters measured each other, and the rounds were slow and even. In the third Goodman jabbed his left to the nose and then planted the left to the jaw. Murphy confined himself to playing for the body, and he forced his oppo- .nent all over the ring. Goodman's extreme cleverness kept him pretty well out of harms way, however. and in the next session Jack had slightly the better of the milling. In the fifth round Tommy went after Goodman and began to whale away at his body. Jack was tired at the end, and when they came together in the sixth round 1t was a slugging match, with Mur- |phy having all the better of the fighting. He worked short-arm up- percuts that jared his antagonist and at the end Goodman was glad to hear the bell.

AMERICANS ARE BUSY.
Our Athletes do Great Work in Their
 Trials.


 London, July S.-All of the Amer ican Olympic team, excepting the weight throwers and the. swimmers. who want practice in the stadium, are now moved to the Hotel Metro pole at Brighton. The hotel is situ- ated right on the sea beach, and the men will journey to London each day as their events are scheduled. The peculiar arrangements of the stadi- um make it necessary for the athletes to pay admission fees for the ladies accompanying them.
 Yesterday on the stadium track Sheppard made a half mile in 1.36 in the team trial, Riley did 1t in 1.5S, Sullivan in 1.5S 1-5 and Halstead of Cornell. did mile and 45 yards in 4.29. Bonbag ran 4 miles in 19.5S. Flanagan threw the hammer 1S1 feet, McGrath hurled it 175. Talbot 16s, and Rose put the shot 51.7 feet. Coe and Garrels put it 46 feet. Gai- rels, Dearborn, Griffith and Sheridan threw the discus 130 feet. Bacon did the 40O-metre hurdles in 56 sec onds. Hillman running easily. did the distance in 5S. Four American high jumpers did 6 feet easily; three pole vaulters- did 12 feet, but the Englishmen will not allow them 10 dig holes for their poles at the take of, which will be great disadvan- tage to the Americans.

ELKs AGAIN TOMORROW. The Real Opening of the Season Here
 With Bristol as Opponent.

All those who purchased tickets for the Elks game last Friday with Hartford, can use those tickets for the game tomorrow when Bristol comes here. It will be the real open ing of the season in this city, unless the rain again plays with the local team as it did last Friday. In Bristol the local lodge will meet team that will. make our boys hustle from start to finish. Judge Malone, the great cross-fire pitcher, who made such a reputation while at college, will be on the firing line for the visitors. The team has a number of the fast inde- pendent players in that section and they are coming over from Bristol one hundred strong to root for their side of the house. The locals expect that they will have to fight hard to win. They know that Bristol gave New Britain the run of her life last week, when Bristol was defeated by the score of 6 to 5, but they are going to put the best team they have into the field to win if 1t is possible.
 AL those who are going to take part in the game tomorrow and in the game on Friday over in Meriden are requested to meet at the club rooms this evening at g o'clock sharp. If those now holding uniforms cannot take part in the game tomorrow, they are requested to send in their uniforms so that others can be fitted out. This Is really necessary as there must be at least twelve men in uni form. It is not possible just now to give the exact lineup of the local Elks, but the battery will in all prob- ability be Joe Tracy and Joe Brennan pitchers. and George Gaffney catcher Roger Connors twill be on first base George Mulligan on second, Fred Henebry on third. Joe Daley or Frank Bergen at short, Tommy Lawlor, Doc Mcdonald and William Early in the outfield. Jim O'Connell. Jimmy 0'Rourke and one other to be chosen tonight will act as substitutes. There will be others, too. who will be given chance to play in either the game tomorrow or the one on Friday and all anxious to play should be on hand this evening at the hour mentioned as 1t will be necessary to name both teams for the two games.

THE DIAMOND
NOT A GAME
 BUT A FARCE
Waterbury Gave a Wretched Ex- bibition of Base Ball - All
 Other Results.

On.a Tuesday afternoon with all the lady clerks and the gentlemen ones, too,s sitting on the grand stand, ready and willing to cheer for the home team, the players on that team gave as wretched an exhibition or baseball as has ever been seen on any grounds. It wouldn't be amiss to say it, that they did not play ball at all, not even "one old cat nor ping pong, nor cricket, not croquet,. but combi- nation of all of them and the comDl- nation was working overtime. too. Waterbury had about fifteen misplays but there are not that number re- corded in the standing because they came so fast that the scorers gave up trying to keep track of them and guessed at the correct number. They were. not very bad guessers, only that they favored the home team quite little. Billy Lauderxdid play baseball years ago, and played it well, but ms time has come like many others. As a substitute for Miller he has proven dismal failure. Perhaps he may come back, let us hope so, for another such exhibition as that of yesterday and the tin can would be demanded. In fact there are several whom the tin can would fit nicely. Go. down the line and pick them out, one af- ter,thei other. To begin with Lauder and follow. on with Mullaney, Rogers and McPartlin In fact, it is doubtful if you could not give the blue en- yelope to all but about eight of the fifteen players on the Est.t
 A new umpire was on the lists and created the only comedy of the day. His exhibition of umpiring was lu- dicrous in the extreme. He allowed the players to dispute his decisions, some of which would put MT Wilkin- son or Mir Rorty away in the shade. He didn't even know the rules of the game and both sides roasted him. Rogers started in to twirl for Water bury and after he had been hammer ed all over the lot in the second in ming he was hooked out and McPart- lin was sent up to do the work. He might just as well been left out for he,. too, got his bumps and George Lachance was the daddy with the big stick, who helped drive both from the box. Lachance had four hits in five times at bat which was stepping some for the former veteran. Rogers was taken out in the middle of the second and McPartlin lasted just about one inning. Farley took their places, but he; too, was not in form and alto- gether 1t was most disagreeable | game. .-The score. e..-

OLD AGE AND THE ARTERIES.
French Physician Seeks to Upset a
 Theory Comomnly Held

For long time now the books have put down arterio-sclerosis, or hard ening of the walls of the arteries, as a malady of old age, indeed the mal- ady of old age. A book published only the other day by a physician or long standing on how to attain old age contained the same familiar dec- ]. larations. It has even been said that hardening of the arteries is what causes old age, and that if the arter- les could be prevented from harden ing old age could be baff1ed, deferred, put of indefinitely.
 Now M Lancereaux has told the. French Academy of Medicine that this is not so. He finds arterio-scler- osis rather in the young than in the old, and says that it is less harmful in the old than in the younger, and that the way to cure 1t is to begin early with young persons predisposed to it through heredity. much as one. should do to cure young girls inclined to hysteria. -.Arterio-sclerosis is not a disease. of old age,' said M. Lancereaux, but of middle age. It does not appear af- ter the sixtieth or the sixtyfifths year. or at any rate undergoes period of abatement then which, renders 1t less dangerous.
 .'The disease is not rare among adults, even between 20 and 30. It is more frequent among those between 30 and 40. But 1t is between 50 and 50 that it is most prevalent, and in such cases most often brings death between 50 and 65. = s ss Its development is more rapid among young persons than in the middle aged, and when occurring in the aged. 1t is the less formidable"
 M. Lancereaux attacked another theory when he declared that, con- trary to the general belief among the doctors arterio-sclerosis was not commonly due to prolonged indulg- ence in alcoholic drinks, no more was 1t due to abuse of tobacco. The proofs offered that 1t came from those causes he said. were wholly insufficient. Neither was poisonig through too much meat in the diet accountable for. the affection, nor was alimentary excess.
 According to M. Lancereaux gouty inflammation is most. often the cause 0: the malady. In treatment it was necessary to attack the initial phe- nomena as shown in nervous disor. der. s+F

THE PUGlLISTS
THE NEWS WOKE
 UP THE TOWN
Father and Mother of Nelson Were 0verjoyed at His Victory
 Murphy Won.

The defeat of Joe Cans by Battling Nelson at Colma, Col, Saturday after noon was big surprise to the sports. The battle drew about half as much as the one they had in Goldfield, but still the receipts, $32,104, were lar ger than expected. Seventy per cent amount was split 50 to the winner and 40 to the loser, Nelson got S13,- 4S3.6S and Cans sS,9S9.12.
 Hegewisch, the home of Battling Nelson, received the first news of the Dane's great victory from the mouth of the new king of lightweights, Im- mediately after the great battle at Colma the Durable Dane" talked to his father, Nels Nelson, over the long distance telephone and told him of his victory over his keenest rival in the pugulistic world, and the acquisition of the lightweight championship, for which he has fought vainly for years.
 The wire was waiting for the Dane and he lost no time in getting in connection with his father. who has beleived in his sons ability to con- quer the dusky Baltimore fighter, despite the Battler's poor showing against Britt, UnholZ and Attell.
 Mrs Nelson heard the news from Mrs Benjamin Anderson, the tele- phone operator at Hegewisch.
 The mother of the new lightweight king was waiting at home weeping for fear her boy would be injured by the conqueror of all corners. She remembered the gruelling battle at Goldfield and sat trembling during the fight. When she heard the good news she was overcome with joy.
 Hegewisch had its most glorious Fourth of July celebration last night. Practically the whole town joined in Ia parade in the Nelson home. The parents of the Battler were serenaded and the town gave itself over to Ia celebration of its favorite sons vic tory, which did not end until the last explosive in the town had been used and until the friends and neighbors of Joe Cans conqueror had tired themselves out shouting the praises of Hegewisch's first citizen.
