A Queer Cough k.~ture.

Mrs. Delaney, so well known as au
eighteenth century personage. had n
strange prescription for cough mix
ture. Writing to friend in January,
1853. she says: "Does Mary cough in
the night? Two or three snails boiled
In her barley water or tea water or
whatever she drinks might be of great
service to her. Taken in time they
have done wonderful cures. She must
know nothing OF It. They give no
manner of taste. 1t would be best
nobody should know It but yourself,
and ! should imagine six or eight boil.
ed In quart of water and strained off
and put in a bottle would be good
way, adding a spoonful or two Of that
to every liquid she takes They must
be fresh done every two or three days;
otherwise they grow too thick" A
strange remedy. aud one wonders
whether "Mary" took It and benefited
by 1t.

Alphabst for all the World.

A movement is on foot for the call
ing of an International conference on
the adoption OF universal phonetic
alphabet. 1t is suggested that the
Roman alphabet should serve as a
basis, but that slight notifications
be made In the forms of the letters,
which would not interfere with their
legibility to any one familiar with
them in their present shapes, in order
to indicate the precise sounds for
which they stand. Such an alphabet
1t is maintained, would enable any
one to pronounce correctly at a
glace the words of foreign language,
because the spelling, apart from a
few special sounds, would be the same
as in his own language There Is
said to be no language so hindered
by It's spelling as the English

Relieved by Mcclure, Who After

II was merely a case of raw meat
the wild and woody kind-that defeat
ed the Diggers in the last game with
Newark at the yard yesterday after
noon. The raw meat allowed the
callers 10 put the game on ice in the
eeoDnd They were never very dang
erous after that but Peggy Moore, the
elongated thrower from Moldertown
was at his best and refused to give
back much of the advantage gained
in Tire fight of the airship.
Bits for the Dlggers were few and
far between An error was respon-
sible for the only count of the locals
and allowed Larue to get in position

along the left line that sent him
across the rubber.

both Moore and Pinkney, forcing In
two Molders. McCiintock lifted a
long fly to Ketter and Williams
scored on the put out. Then the lad
came into his own and Abbott and
Gygli were easy.
During the remaining seven innings
the Molders got but four safe hits
and each time tine runner got 10 sec
ond, but there was nothing doing.
The contest had resolved itself mere
into a question of whether the
Diggers could make enough to either
tie or to win. WIFI Moore in fine
fettle the question was easy TO answer
ere the ninth rolled around. Yet in
the eighth the Diggers had a good
chance and might have tied the count
had not Anderson been caught at
third. Gygli's error let Wilson get
on and the runner was forced at sec
ond by Larue. Anderson got gift
and Mcclure sent a sharp drive to
left. Larue scored and Anderson
should have reached third but was
slow in rounding second and although
Abbott fumbled the ball he caught
the Digger with a perfect throw to
Wratten. Mcguire went TO second
where he died when Farrell lifted
his usual inheld fly. Had Anderson
been safe, the Diggers would have
had runners on second and third with
but one out.
With two down in the ninth Tate

hard smash went directly into the
hands of Smith and it was all over
In the seventh inning Mcguire pulled
off the best stunt of the game. with
