THAT PENNANT RACE

New York Leads Nntionain, But Is only Two Points Ahead of Pitts burg amd Chicago, Who are
 Tied for Second Place.

For an off-day in baseball. the few games which were played yesterday were of vast importance to the pennant chances of the three leading clubs In tn National Leagu race.
 New York played two games in Phil adelphia, and was able only to get an even. break. while Chicago defeated tho Cincinnati team on the iatter's home grounds The results of these gaines caused the New Yorks to fall back two points in their percentage and enabled the Chicago club to draw two points closer to New York. This leaves Chi- cago and PittsburR tied for second place with New York leading by the narrow margin of two points.
 The standing of the three first teams in the National League follows:
 CLUE. Won. Lost. r. Ct New York st B. sss Chicago ....9 9b 55 638 Pittahurr eS 5S 633

PASTORAL SCENES.
Friendly Relations Exist Even in the
 Barnyard.

People who go into the country once in a while express much sur prise at the friendly relations exist ing between chickens and other live stock, notably cows and horses. It is quite common to see lot of chickens at cows heels almost a mile from any house, and when the COW lies down the chickens take a rest, too, sometimes roosting on the animals back. The fowl follow horses, too, and appear to enjoy their companion ship. This is strange. You never see COW or horse recognize" a chicken in the crowded districts, but that is no criterion to go by. Human beings, let alone birds and cattle, don't al- ways speak as they pass by in the cities, not because they might not like to be more sociable, but they are too busy, and besides it is not always good form. It is different in the country. Everybody looks everybody he meets squarely in the face, bids him the time o'day, and following the example of their masters the hen and the horse, the duck and the COW, all meet on common ground and show disposition to make things pleasant for each other.

A Puzzle In Figures.

Take any number of three different figures, as All, under it place the same figures in reverse order, subtract the lesser number and you will find that the middle figure of the result is in- variably 9. Why it is so is something that only the most learned mathemat- ical scholars can explain. Here is our case worked out:
 Taking any number, say................ Al Reversing figures. s......................... 174 Subtracting, we have...-....,........... 2S7
 Further still, we can now reverse this number 297 in the same way and add the two numbers and the result will always come 1889. Thus:
 Reversing ........................... fN Adding, we have. ........................ loSS
 Why should the answer always come out the same? Here's something for you to work over.
