Some Doubt But
 Much Hope at Home.

In the mind of the fans there is still doubt as to the strength of the Barons. Manager Molesworth Is satisfied, how ever and the fans are getting wise to the fact that the Barons are stronger than was indicated at first. The catching, in- field and outfield departments are strong for a certainty. Dickson, Moore, Flehar- ty, Molly, and Ford look stronger than the balance of the twirlers. Robinson Is coming back some of these days, and Manager Molesworth is keeping his eye open for still others.

cocksdes and Buttons.

The cockade originated simply in the knot of ribbons or strings by which the broad tlaps of the seventeenth cen tury round hat were cooked" or drawn up to the brim in fine weather. and thus originated the three cOrnered hat as well as the cooked hat of later times There was nothing specially military about the usage. as the ig- norant assert. The same strings sur vive in the loops of the hats of bishops and other ecclesiastical dignitaries in Great Britain. in he strings of the hats worn by French cures and Span ish and Italian padres and in the cords which are still seen on the hats of some livery servants.
 It naturally became the custom for military men to ''cOck" their hats with the livery color of the prince they served. and as the HanOveriaD color was the convenient one of black the "bIack cockade" became associated in the minds of the people with military uniform In an old Scotch song Of Shirramuir. citing "WoodwOrd's Her aldry." we read of ''the red coat lads with black cockades." and knot of white ribbons was naturally chosen as the badge of their opponents. When the old use of the strings was forgot ten the knot in the form of rosette of ribbon. survived. just as did the buttons on the backs of our coats which were intended to fasten back the flaps in riding or marchlng.-"Jus- flee of the Pence"

Ants Are Six Eared.

In the matter of some of their sense organs the ants are more than ordi narily endowed. Strange as it may seem, each ant has at least six ears Aside from this multiplicity of ears they are located in just about the queer est place imaginable-on the legs. They seem deaf to all sounds made by the vibration of the air, but detect the slightest possible vibrations of solid material This is supposed to be to their advantage in that such things as approaching footsteps tell more of the possibility of danger than such sounds as are transmitted through the air. So sensitive are their feet that they detect the impact of small bird shot dropped on the table from height of about six inches and about fourteen feet distant from an artificial nest placed at the other end of the tahle.-St. Nicholas.
