The Crested Rat.

The crested rat of East Africa is re- markable, first because of the great length of the black and white hairs down the ridge of the back, which are rendered the more conspicuous because the hairs along the sides of the body are so short and so differently colored, being brownish gray and looking for all the world as if some one had taken pair of scissors and maliciously shorn off the decorative hair, leaving only a dull underfur. Secondly, it is remark able because the skull has a roofing of bones exactly resembling that of some turtles, while, furthermore, this roof has granulated appearance recalling that presented by the skulls of certain fishes In it's habits it appears to be arboreal while from the structure of it's teeth it would appear to be at least partly insectiv vorous

A Few Corrections.

A few things picked up from a childs 8 schoo1book: Never say, T don't think it will rain.' What you mean is, T do think it will not rain.'' "All over the world'' is bad; say lover all the world" :" 1.-The reason why'' is not only incorrect, but doesn't sound as well as s'The req son that In the King James version of the Bible, quoted by some authori
 ties as standard of pure English, one may find the following, which occurs in Isaiah xxxvii, 3e: Then the angel of the Lord went forth and smote in the camp of the Assyrians hundred and fourscore and i've thousand, and when they arose early in the morning. be- hold they were all dead corpses." In other words, the corpses arose early in the morning and found themselves dead. Don't say "A man fell off the dock.' A man might fall into a dock, but to say that he fell off a dock is no better than to say he fell off hole.

When Everything Is Poisonous.

All substances, even eggs, are poison ous when they are injected in certain quantities into the circulatory system of an animal. A French investigator has taken the powdered yolk of ducks egg, treated it with a 20 per cent solution of salt and injected it in- to the veins of an animal until it died. In order to kill a rabbit fifty five grains of the substance were required for each pound of the rabbits weight. The yolk of hens egg is less poisonous, but that of turtle more so than that of a duck. The albumen of eggs is also poisonous.

A Curious Tom b,

The most curious tomb in England is that of Lady Anne Grimston, daughter of the Earl of Thanet, who died nearly two centuries ago and was buried in Tewin churchyard. Upon her deathbed she disregarded the efforts of those who sought to administer spiritual comfort. An atheist she had lived, an atheist she would die. "It is as likely that should rise again from the dead,' 9 she said, ''as that a tree should grow put of the middle of my coffin.' A tree has grown out of the middle of her cofhn-an oakland by its side a syca- more. The vault is square, of brick and granite. The two trees first filled the interior before they could find a way out. When they did burst through the masonry they so spread as con- pletely to envelop the grave.

 Knight led off with a bouncing bunt in the third and Smith paved at the ball. but couldn't get hold of it. Kleinow put a fly in between Conroy and Unglaub which was good for two bases owing to the height of the ball and Unglaub being farout. Knight took third the hit
 Quinn damned a hot one through the diamond to centre and knight ran in. Kleinow turned third and was headed for the plate. He would have been Farrell hadn't grabbed and showed him violently back to third base. Cree drew four balls and filled the bases and Keeler tell in line with a line single to left. Kleinow and Quinn tallied on this rap. and as Unglaub foolishly threw the bail home instead of to third Cree went on to third Elberfield was hit by a pitched ball. but Hurst wouldn't let him take his base. The Kid hit to Smith and was out at first, but put Keeler on second. Engle let go with lawn trimmer that brought Cree and Keeler home.
 The only Washington score origi- mated in a hit batsman. Street was tagged by an inshoot and got around through the medium of Smiths single a base on balls to Clymer and a St!ng1ng single by GanleE which bounded off Quinn ShinS.
 Elberfield took first in the fifth in ming on the bean ball route-ball play CTS parlance to mean that Elberfield was hit on the head by a pitched ball. The Kid wouldn't go to first until he got specific instructions from Hurst He came in ahead of Engle when the latter blazed an aerial trail over Gan ley's head for a home run. as long a hit as ever was made on these grounds The ball was still in the outfield when Engle touched the plate. It went clear to the centre field corner.
 The eighth New York count was made Tn the eighth inning. By good running Engle stretched his hit into a double. Mcconnell singled and put him on third. He tried to score when Mcconnell went down and was collar ed by McBride's return throw. Laporte hit high to short left and the prankish wind caused Mcbride to lose the ball

 This ,Kocf1er, the new catcher with Bridgeport from the Athletics. is the biggest man on the team. He looks like a bali player and will be very valuable addition.
 Manager o'Rourke has appointed Marty Phelan as captain of the team Marty got in his first day of leadership yesterday, and threw the hooks into a couple of the recruits for few weird plays He showed he was onto his job and will install that ginger which has been lacking from an Orator nine for a. number of seasons

Too Much Exercise.

Unfortunately a good many men have the conviction that they must keep e1erting themselves all the time. They call every moment wasted which is not spent in activity of some kind. either physical or mental. Such men are taKlng the quickest means to burn themselves out. You cannot live we'll and keep happy under a constant and tyrannical sense of effort. There must be times of play. times to let up the tension and to do easy and natural things which don't require conscience and exact attention. Horace Bushnell, the great Connecticut minister, recog- nized this when he said, Let's go sin awhile" Shining has the advantage of being easy, and there are times when the easy thing is the right thing. A man who takes no time off for one kind of play or another, but who keeps the anxious. conscientious look on his face day in and day out. may be on the road to heaven, but he will find that the sanitarfum is a way station.-Dr. Luther H. Gulick in Good Housekeep- ing.
