If the boys had an op- portunity to enjoy themselves in harm less sports in these playgrounds they would much be better off
 At present scores of the boys hang on the street corners Sundays. Open playgrounds and baseball would do away with most of this and benefit not only the boys. but those who pass these corners and who are often the butts of the pranks of these young St0rS"

Tha Industrial Baseball League. as announced exclusively in the Farmer of Monday evening, will go on with six clubs. being minus this year the teams of the Bridgeport Brass Co. and the Singer Manufacturing Co, both of which clubs last evening withdrew from the league because. as they ex- plained, there was lack of interest among the players and employees of the factories. and it was impossible to get together representative teams. The league directors accepted the resigna- tions with regret.
 As the league opens Saturday and has an eight club schedule arranged, it was necessary to make changes. It was decided that the following games would be played: Crane No. 2 Vs War ner Bros. at Crane field; Crane No. 1 ys. American & British Co. at St. Jo- sepk oval: and Loconiobile Go. ys. Holmes & Edwards Go at Seaside Park. At the game at Seaside, Mayor E.. T. Buckingham, who is also presi- dent of the league. will throw out the first ball; at St. Joseph oval, City Clerk Stephen F.

Yesterday Curtiss travel led from Albany to New York On the bridge of an Albany Day Boat study ing the country and the varying air currents. The start will be made from a spot on Rensselaer, Island, in the Hudson, inside the city of Albany. Curtiss expects to maintain an aver age speed of 45 miles an hour during the trip, reaching New York between 8 and 2.
 Curtiss' new machine is the smallest that has ever flown, according to his manager. Its extreme length is 30 feet. The machine in which Paulhan a supporting surface three times as large. Curtiss will use sixty horse power, eight cylinder motor, one of the lightest ever constructed.
 Although the distance between AL bany and New York is not so long as that covered by Paulhan in his London to Manchester flight, the mountainous country makes flying more hazardous, because of the cross currents of air and the, draught be- tween the mountains caused by the river. In his London Manchester flight, Paulhan flew 168 miles with one stop. His longest sustained flight was 117 miles made in hours and 50 min utes. The longest sustained flight on record was made by Henri Farman on November 8, 1909. The official time was four hours, six minutes. and twen- ty-five seconds and the distance rec ord was 137 1-2 miles. The unofficial distance was IA miles, the last seven miles being made after darkness and therefore diallowed in the official rec ord.
 On April IS, Paulhan flew from Chevilly France, to Arcis- Sur -Aube, 130 miles across country. On the fol- lowing day he continued his flight to Chalones-Sur- -Marne, forty miles fur ther, a total distance of ITO miles in about four hours flying time.

A Stage Performance That Took Place
 Under Difficulties.

Under Difficulties.
 In an article on barnstorming in the Wide World Magazine P. R. Eaton de scribes performance which took place under certain difficulties.
 There had been an ice cream sociable just prior to our arrivA in the hall and no one had cleaned the stage Mac had new pair of broadcloth trousers and my scarlet tunic, also new. When a shot was fired he was to fall and before dying confess that he had killed old Fitzgerald.
 The juvenile down front was not to speak till Mac had fallen and con- fessed. There he stood while Mac staggered about the stage looking for a clean place on which to fall Mixed in with his lines he was making re- marks to us in the wings sotto voce, while we were convulsed with laugh ter at his antics.
 'l cannot die-oh, why didn't you have a grass mat?-I must not die-I shall ruin my breeches-I can't die oh, this stage is afoat with ice cream -l-must-not-die."
 Here the juvenile put in some side remarks of his own. .'Oh, hurry up and die or I'll walk offw

THE MuskRAT.


 More People Trap This Little Animal
 Than Any Other.
 In America nearly 10000 people trap the musquash. or muskrat, every year. More people trap this little animal than any other. 1t is claimed that the greatest number of skins are taken in Minnesota and the Red river district. Most of the pelts are exported.
 The skins are very uniform in color, usually a dark brown. However, those of Alaska and the Mackenzie district are very light in color. The black pelts or those which are nearly so come from the southern sections. al- though occasionally a few are found in other localities.
 The muskrat is very prolific. In some attitudes. says Fur News, it has three litterssef young in a summer and from three to five young in each litter The animals are nocturnal in their ha bits. but are often seen during the day. Musquash. it is said. thrive best in sluggish stream ms. lakes and marsh es. In appearance it is very much like the beaver. and its habits are very similar.
 The muskrats that inhabit the ponds. marshes and shallow lakes build their houses of grass. weeds. etc. and plas ter them together with mud. The house is built in the shape of dome and is usually several feet above the water. Tue musQuash that lives along the streams usually has its home in the banks of them. The entrance to. this den is almost always beneath the water, but as the burrows range up- ward the dens are never filled with water except in times of fresbets.

Bill Had Passed the Assembly Majority Favor the Preservation

Albany, May 25.-The McGrath bill permitting the playing of baseball on Sunday afternoon by amateurs, was defeated in the Senate yesterday by a vote of IT to 28. The bill had passed the Assembly,.
 Senator Caffrey made a plea for justice to the boys of the congested districts of New York Senators Mo- Manus, Brough, Wagner and New comb followed on the same lines, the contention being that it was in- finitely better to provide innocent Sunday amusements than to have the young lettering on street corners or drinking in saloons.
 The oppositionNwa led by Senator Bracket, who declared that while he counted himself a liberal in all things, the passage of such a meas ure would be a step toward break ing down barriers that have preserved the American Sabbath.

Color Blindness.

One thing is definitely shown by the tests that have been made for color blindness in various races-no race. however primitive. has been discov- cred in which red green blindness was the unlversal or general condition, and this is fact of some interest in con- nection with the physiology of color vision. for 1T seems 4'obable that red green blindness since it is not by any means q diseased condition represents a reversion to more primitive state of the color sense. If this Is so no race of men remaius in the primitive stages of the evolution of the color sense. The development of color sense substan- tiany to the condition in which we have 1t was probably prehuman achievement.-Professor R. s. Wood worth in Science.

 Manager McCann of Bridgeport is trying to secure Claude Rossrnan the a name for himself at Detroit. Ross man is now with Columbus, where he is warming the bench.-Waterbury Republican This is news to McCann. The end of the trouble will probably not come with the fines and suspen- sions doled out,. however. Several of the managers are already asking. to have Umpire Fahey kept away from their teams. Manager Teller of Springfield wrote the league president several days ago, preferring such a request and the indications are that the Easthampton man will be objected to by several other clubs. Umpires Hart, Watts and Leahy are running their games with little trouble as a rule, but Umpire F'ahey has failed to give satisfaction. It is well and good for President Tracey to uphold his umpires, if they are competent. If one of them is>not, it would be a good idea for the league president to go after him. This theory that an umpire can do no wrong is all rot.-Springfeld Union.

HINTS ON PIPING.
4+++4+++++++++*+++EFs

Since pipings are SO fashionable ana
form a part of the finish Of almost
every gown, it is we'll to know how
they should be made.
For a quarter of an inch piping cut
your material into bias strips an inch
and a quarter wide. and for wider pip
ines increase the width accordingly.
Fold these strips through the centre
l%engthwise and haste close to the fold.
Under the part TO be piped lay the
folded strip, allowing O quarter OF an
inch to show, and three-eigfths of an
inch for the seam.
After the piping Is basted in place
stitch 1t as close to the edge you are
finishing as possible.
When a narrower piping is wanted
the goods is cut accordingly, but be
sure TO see that there is a good three
eiginths of an inch allowed for the
seam.

ard-weighed twelve ~pounds--11a pounds
more h a the average; at three
months he. was 2 7-10 pounds above the
average, and he rarely lost this gain.
The average" babies observed by
Holt do not hold up their heads until
the third or fourth month. Leonard
held up his in the third week. Hollis
babies do not laugh until the third or
fourth month. Leonard laughed in his
twelfth week. Hollis babies do not
reach for objects until the fifth to the
seventh month. Leonard grabbed for
a pair of scales in his fifteenth week.
In his twentieth week he began pulling
himself up to the sitting position by
the rod fastened across his basket; in
his twenty-second, to sit up alone; in
his twenty-seyenth, to pull himself up
to his feet and stand alone; in his
tllirty-third he began to walk.
Everything that affected the health
