There were gardeners, porters and handicraft men, all busy in attending to the mas ter. "A preparer of sweets" must have been a confectioner.

Lost the Prize.

James Crossley, noted English bib liomaniac, hied him one memorable day to a bookstall in Shudehill market and, spying little volume, took it up and glanced carelessly through it. After awhile he asked it's price from an old woman and was told 1t was two and sixpence. "Pn give you sixpence for it," said Crossley. Nay" replied the poor old dame; ''it cost me shillings." Whereupon our book devourer threw 1t down in disgust and retired. A gentle man, overhearing tue Hltercation, stepped forward and purchased it at the sum demanded. Crossley returned soon after and, noticing the book had gone, anxiously inquired what had be- come of it.

AGAIN ORATORS
 WIN VICTORY
Northamptaon Defeated at Newfield
 Park-SC0re is I to z

Due to the good pitching of Hennig ! youngster Manager Jim dug up from the defunct Eastern Association, and the ability of the Orators to hit Ste- vens, Bridgeport won from Northamp- ton yesterday at Newf1eld Park 7-2 Hennig was inclined to be a trifie wild but settled down as the game pro- gressed. Northampton looked like win ners in the opener. when Hennig start ed to lob them up. McAndrews was hit, while Yale and Golden walked with 8. sacrifice sandwiched in. It was only the Snappy work of KOcher nail Ing McAndrews on an attempted steal of third that saved Hennig this in- ming. There were two out when he struck out Eddie Bridges.
 Hennig is but ,youngster, with lots quick. He can hit too, gathering in a trio of safeties out of four times up. He looks good,
 The Orators were the clouting kids, eleven hits being gleaned in all, two of them good for three bases and one a homer. The Orators were credited with but one misplay. huff of an easy foul fly by Miller. It was also only one slip-up for the Larks, Mike McAndrews' mess of Kocher's bunt in the third. It went for .naught as Kocher was doubled up when Hennig hit to Stevens. The fielding features were divided. Bridges was robbed of 9 hit when Bourquin batted down his wallop over second in time to catch Golden who had previously singled Kocher in this inning fouled to right Held just over the line, Walsh came running in, making a beauty one handed catch. He was given a good hand for the play. The game:
 For a starter Steinhauser singled in to left, was sacrificed to second by Ramon, and scored on Hilts three ua n riO Sfauefo ha bases by walking Ladd' and Miller. O'Leary's hit into center scored Hilt and Ladd. BourQuin struck out, while Kocher was gathered in second to first.
 Hennig in the second singled into right followed by a like hit by Stein hauser. Bannon scored Hennig on a hit into left Wade's throw to McAn- drews held Steinhauser on second. Hilt advanced both men along a base on a sacrifice. 4Miller's sacrifice fly to left Steinhauser scored. OLeary ended the inning by going out to right. fourth. Golden rambled. but was out stealing second, Kocher to Bourqin. Bridges flew out to Ladd. Walsh had three balls and two strikes on him O'Hara walked. Ham Wade's two station clout scored both runners. Ste yens struck out
 s In the fifth Ladd's hit bounded off tne nrst bag the sphere losing itself in the bulI-rushes behind the score-board, fHi' doing the circuit. The next three men went out in order.
 After Walsh had made a sensational catch of Kocher's fly in right field, Hennig singled into left. Bannon pick ed out one of Stevens plate splitters, the ball going on a line to left center. When Golden returned the hide Ban non was on third and Hennig crossed the plate. Hilt walked. When Hilt tried to steal second, Bridges threw to head him off Frank saw he was beat en and turned back. Bannon started to come in from third, a series of re- lays resulted in which all but the Hamp. outfie1d assisted. Bannon was finally tapped by Stevens.

Restfns the Heart.

"Rest your heart now and then dur ing the day." said an instructor in gymnastics.
 "But the heart can't be rested" a pu- pill objected. tIt works incessantly from birth to death.'
 '1t rests the heart to lie down." said the instructor. Every nights sleep of nine hours saves the heart the ltfting of 32,OOO ounces of blood. Considerable rest there, eh?
 When we lie down, you see, the hearts action becomes slower-sIower by ten strokes a minute. Thus in an hour 600 strokes are saved and in nine hours 5,400 strokes. Each stroke pumps six ounces of blood, and therefore in nine hours the heart is saved the labor of pumping 32,4OO ounces.
