The New York Giants will play the New Haven State league team Sun day at Lighthouse Point. The fol- lowing team will be sent on from the big city: Meyers the big Indian catch CT, Rube Marquad, D.. Penney 1b, Dew lin 3b., Schaeffer 2b. Fletcher ss., OHara cf., Devere If, McCofmack If. It's cinch that about half of these players named will not compete present tackling the Pirates and the Cubs the fore part of next week.
 Krause, the Athletics phenon, caught his in Detroit yesterday, be- ing knocked out in the seventh inn ing. The contest went to the Tigers by one run, and places both teams on a tie for first place. Rather strange that the schedule makers fixed things so that both teams could be tied when they play together.
 By a new rule just promulgated by the president of the New England lea que any player put out of the game by the umpire is under suspension for three days. The same ought to be enacted in this circuit to curb the rowdyisrn. lsSs5.

Salt water Falls.

There are good many salt cataracts in existence. Tkey may be found in Norway, southern Chile and British Go lumbia, where narrow iords, or arms of the sea, are obstructed by barriers of rock The rising tide flows over and filters through such reefs into the great natural reservoirs beyond, but the wa ter is held back at the ebb until it breaks over the obstruction in an ire sisffble torrent Most curious of all is the waterfall at Canoe passage, where the island of Vancouver approaches the British Columbia mainland. Here the flood tide from the gulf of Georgia, to the southward, is damned back at narrow cleft between two islands until it pours over in boiling cascade eight cen feet high, with perhaps double the volume of the Rhine. At the turn of the tide, however. the waters from the north rush back into the gulf, produc- ing a cascade of equal height and vol ume This salt water fall actually flows both ways.

Love on Earth and In Heaven.
 The difference between love on earth and love in heaven is not to, be con- veyed in words, but in tranquil and pure moods it may even on earth be apprehended by the sight of the spirit Love in heaven has realized all that earthly love aspires to, and from that goal it's progress begins, never to cease. The sky toward which it yearned in the world has become the ground on which it stands here, but now another sky is above it. We forecast heaven as re pose and peace. the fulfilling of the hearts desire, the immortal presence with us ef beauty and happiness. But man is not so poorly coutent. We leave behind us on earth the obstacles of the body, and in heaven we labor not for bread. raiment and shelter; hearts are not parted by space and time; we deceive not, strive not one against the other, scheme not to outdo others for the gain of our own name and fame. Yet in heaven are labor, emulation, ambition. loves holy fear and humility deeper than hell is deep below the heavens. Tears we have also and ave of that want v dch only the divine fullness can supply.-Julian Hawthorne in Century.

Of a hefonry naturalist says: ''It is not, to put it mildly, savory place. On the island in question nearly every availabl building site was occupied.

Baby herons are, if possible. uglier than the ordinary uun of nestlipes, their appear ance being pendened most grotesQue by patches of long hairlike feathers stud dad o4aer the body. I took down one young bind in oder to have good look at hin While handling him a whole frog. fully two inches in length, drop ped ont of him, and. judging from the distension of his 'ooppncation.' there must have been several more inside him! I tried to return the frog to him. and most amusing were the attempts he made to swalloY it, but lacked the skill of his parents and in the end was obliged to cut up the frog and force it piecemeal into his gullet."
