THE NATIONAL GAME.

The great national leagues of Amer lea open the baseball season today and from new on the fans will be alert and alive to the game iE ell parts of the country; and let us say that accurate reports will constantly be found upon The Bulletins sporting page
 The sixteea hines in the National and American leagues represent an enormous investment. and the large sums of money expended on spring trips to the south. for new players and those chased as veterans, and other causes Of expense, all go to show how much the American public will pay for its summer amusement, and pay for 1t willingly. No other sport draws so heavily on the hnan- cizl resources o< the people. and no other game can thrill the citizens of all the states as baseball. Americans -r.ust have their baseball, and it Is significant to note that the game grows In popularity each year, and that the grade Of ball played is con- stantiy improving. There are more leagues than ever. and the clubs in the various leagues large and small, are believed at this date to be better stocked with better playing material than ever.
 Baseball is a great game, for t makes members of congress run away from business as well as the kid run away from school, and we suspect ed- itors may be caught negiecting their business and doctors their patients in consequence of it. The reports will be meat and drink to thousands until the end of the season.

THE CENSUS ENuMERAToRs.

The census enurnerators are to be let loose upon the country Friday and in the following two weeks a hundred thousand men will determine whether the population of this country is efghty-five or ninety million souls.
 The questions to be asked number about three dozen and are decidedly personal, and would be impertinent if asked by any one except a govern Tnent delegate armed with power to collect the information wanted. Ann will not enjoy being asked how old she is and quite likely will give an evssivs answer, and Jonathan is likely to vince when asked if there is any mortgage on his property-if thers Is enc Thoss who own their places are not stung by such a question
 Everybody will recognize the enu1n = a-ators and make their business easy and pleasant except the ignorant-the citizens who gee no sense in a censu s and who do not think their private affairs are any of the government g to be unaware Of the paterna1 interest Uncle Sam takes in all of his children and extends to them It IS his priv men raere are in the country and what is. and st,1er things which express our right to claim that we arc a great nation and have the means and abality to sustain the claim
 If the euumerators are polite and tactfui they will not be likely tozen- counter much opposition.

THE MARATHON DANCE.

The Marathon dance has never reached New England although at the west it has become a fad which in some instances has been interfered with by the police because the fools participating were in danger of killing themselves by excessive exertion.
 The Marathon dance is made up of a number Of dancing teams. each con- sfsting of q man and woman clad as lightly as the police will allow. num- bered and tagged to facilitate betting Hour after hour they dance, finally staggering about on the floor sus- tained only by stimulants. until one by one they drop completely exhaust ed, tine last gfassy- eyed couple ''up' winning the prize.
 Out in San Francisco a Marathon dance lasted fifteen hours and six minutes or until stopped by the po- lice on the recommendation of physi- clans.
 There is nothing God has created that can make bigger fool of him. self than man when encouraged by competition and prizes. The Bulletin endorses this sentiment from the Kansas City Journal:
 There are bets and purses upon this degradation of manhood and wo- manhood and it is dignified as d sport But 1t is a sport of harmful results and demoralfzing influence and should be forbidden by the police"

LookINc FOR THE COMET.

Those who saw Halley's comet in 1885 are few: but those who have their faculties preserved are alive to this to them great and exceptional event. for 1t is not often that . mortal has q chance to see Halley's comet twice in a lifetime.
 A westerner who saw it in 1885 writes the Toledo Blade:
 T am looking forward with great interest to seeing my old friend of 1885 once more and to note if his long journey has been as hard upon him as mine has been upon me. was in my tenth year when the comet came and remember 1t we'll ! was living in Saratoga county. New York. and there was great excitement all about there. Some of the old duffers learn ed then to pray for the first timh and others prepared themselves for war, pestilence and famine"
 If the comet will teach people to pray and pray right it would be q good thing if it would come oftener; but there is no reason why it should excite the evil passions of man, which 1t is credited with having done in the past when the fault and respon- sfbility were wholly mans. not the comets.
 The astronomers vary as to the
 
 earth. Professor Pickering finds that, in the last half of the nineteenth cen tury. 121 comets penetrated the sphere of the earth's orbit. From this he de- duces that we should expect to be struck by the core of visible comet only once in about 400,000,000 years, but we might expect collision with some part of the larger head once in 4.090,000 years. He, however, doubles this frequency to once in 100000 years, owing to the fact that the or bits of comets are more frequently dis trfbuted near the elliptic, the plane in which the earth travels. He believes that, during the great star shower of 1883, we passed closed to the core of an invisible comet, and possibly the same in the year 9o2. the year of stars"
 Thsrs is nothing of startling na- ture about these figures. since there is no proof that this is the year that a collision is due. for it is known that the course of this comet is 15,00O, 900 milas away, which Is a safe distance for calm observation of the phenome-

PETS AND PEOPLE.

TX M- S-~ of the Bridgeport Tel ezrsm. 6 Norwich woman by the way. contributes to the woman's page of that paper daily a readable editorial under sns caption of 'The Daily Morn ing Call" and from the quality and character Of her work, 'the Morning Caller shows that she would have life better and Iovelier. She has this to say of pets and people:
 The devotion of a family to pet ss a strange contrast to Ae neglect Of the same s-e to family relatives. old servants. or those whom for any req Eon they saould have a care The neglected letter. the delayed call, the Indifference of the busy. happy, healthy men and women to ti1is class Is pitt ful Few but must feel condemned in their own mind when they turn the light of their quickened conscience up on their duty.
 Age makes for unhappiness in its very protest against the inevitable, and 90 unconsciously one gets into fighting trim not only 10 lay this en- emy of mortal flesh low. but, forget ting itsei~. overreacl1es the mark and nearly kills the family. But in spite of these little things which we must overlook. the dear old people long for the betting and loving and apprecia- ton of their very own in the family circle and the Heighborhood- It is not given to all to grow old gracefully and yet we Go not lay up i'll will against dcgs that do not Are folks any harder to bear withz''
 This is well said. It is really the needed word. for the writer would not have the world love dogs less, but aeed and infiru1 and impatient and com molasnfng parents and relatives rsrrs and more gently dealt with The tolerant spirit should be more fsstsrsd in the family and out of it.

Fancy Hat Box.

give a friend.
 Everybody must use hat boxes, so there seems to be no reason why they should not be made attractive.
 Select a large sized pasteboard box and cover it inside and out with sat- cen or cretonne.
 The inside of the box is first lined with cretonne or with sateen to match in color the outside covering, which is prettiest of cretonne.
 The figured material is then fasten- ed on the outside at the edges sewing with close, firm stitches.
 Cover the sewing with braid or a narrow strip of the material, whipped or rested on
 ls hand of plain material, henmed ar,rnd the edges, may be placed in the box, to be used to cover over the hat.

Beaded Baqs.

If you happen to have an old beaded bag that belonged to your grandmoth- CT. or her grandno other before that you are particularly fortunate, for these bags are being revived one again.
 The quaint old fashioned designs are the most desired ones-Httle figures, elaborate care in very minute beads.
 Sometimes they are gold or silver frames. and if your old bag is in good condition, but has a poor top, you may have new frame put on and at no great cost.
 The hand bags are most fashionable but the little coin purses and fiat purses are popular.
 Old ones are shown in the antique shops, but one may procure new ones in more recent designs (mcstly made abroad) for more moderate prices.

Linen Closet.

To one house with large rooms and plenty of closets there are a hundred apartments so cramped for space that a good sized linen closet is an un- heard-of luxury But since linen clos cts are a necessity to the careful ho,rsekeeper, there is nothing to do but make one.
 A practical 'closet'' may be made of packing cases, one, two or three, as one needs them and has room for them. Fasten the lids with hinges and line the sides and bottom with un- bleached calico, in which, if desired might be stitched pockets to hold sachets of sweet lavender. The lids should be padded outside with horse hair and a permanent rough cover stitched on. Over all is fitted a neat cretonne cover, with a fiounce hanging around the sides. If possible it is best to have three boxes, one for the sheets. one for the tablecloths, napkins. doilies. etc, and tine other for pillow eases, bolster cases and towels.
 Shirt waist boxes may be construct ed in the same manner.

 Remove the potato from the oven and turn off the gas. Serve a la Hop atcong. If too hot hold in a napkin. Divtde the potato as you would an orange. Do not remove the skin. Take a spoon and hollow out just enough to make a dent for lump of butter Then rattle on the salt and pepper.
 Now pour the oil into the herni- sphere and let 1t soak down out of sight. Dig into the mealy mess, and eat like a breakfast bread fruit Keep on adding as much oil and butter as you like, and when you get to the bot tom, eat the skin and all. There ain't no core to this delicacy. Try it.

creases in Fur Goats.

Furs will soon have to be put away for the season and 1t is well to put them. away in as good condition as possible.
 When fur coat becomes creased, either from laying some article upon it or from crushing, the best method of removing such marks is to thorough ly dfaanpen the fur. When possible the drying should be done out of doors so the air will aid in the process
 In no case should furs be placed near a fire to dry, because each little hair is furnished with tiny mite of is placed in direct. contact with heat. For this reason alone furs should be placed in cold storage during the summer

 There is nothing that so quickly destroys the shape of a garment and pulls the collar, be it ever so carefully fitted, out of shape as this.
 'If there is not a coat hanger handy there undoubtedly is a chair over which the garment may rest. If I were a man should see to it that my business office closet were provided with coat hangers. Then, when I took off my coat and exchanged it for the office one I would be happy in know ing that my coat was not getting out of shape.
