Some That Are Famous Because of .
 Special Dish.
 Though various restaurants in New York. Washington. New Orleans or San Francisco are famous for certain dishes. yet this is generally the result of accident rather than design that one article upon the menu should be pre-eminently successful and popular. The day is past when this one dish could make the reputation of the place.
 In London. however. this is not the case. though 1t must be confessed that there are not now as many inns as formerly which have become famous by reason Of the popularity of one dish. In times gone by every London inn of any pretensions at all had it's special dish whereon it prided itself and to partake of which patrons trav- eled many miles.
 Eel pies were once the great feature of breakfast served at the old Slu1ce House, near Finsburg park. The nec- essary quantity of fish was regularly dredged up from the stream which ran under the windows of the inn. The pies are still to be had, but the eels are procured from a nearby fish mar ket

BILLY MURRAY TAXES IN
 ROLY YOKE WATERBURY CONTEST
Former Quaker Manager Now Scouting For Pittsburg-Says K or League Players are too Slow in Practice-Meets Pop FoSter-ReminiscenceS of Old New England Days

Holyoke, July 21-Sitting quietly in corner of the Berkshire street grand stand, Billy Murray. former manager of the Philadelphia Nationals. now dO- ing scout service for the PittSburg club, made mental notes of the actions of the Holyoke and Waterbury players yesterday afternoon. His mission was to take a look at Second Baseman Baker of the locals. on whom Dan ONen, the New Britain manager, Se- cured an option for the Pirates a week ago. After the game Murray refused to commit himself about Bakers play ing and was shy on saying anything regarding any of the other players, although he talked freely on other baseball matters
 AS he watched the teams practice be- fore the game. the veteran deplored the mopish manner in which minor league players go about this work. Why, up in the big leagues when they go out on the diamond for practice before game you see some real snappy play ing. These young ball players take things altogether too easy. They act as though they were lazy and every move they made pained them. > I like to see a club get out for practice and spill the pepper around the lot and any club that does that you can generally depend upon it to play good ball.
 One familiar face greeted Murray on the field and that was Pop Foster, Holyoke's helmSman There's a sweet sticker,' sighed Billy. Pop played with me in Providence about 10 years ago. And he could hit then, too. He won a game for me once with a home run.z T We were playing Newark and the score was to 0 against us in the ninth.

 The Mechanics went to the lead in the seventh, Ladd landing a single in right with one out Stowe out at first sent Ladd to second and then Christopher let loose his wild pitch. Bridgeport'S valuable piece of antiqui- ty came into the plate standing up and Christopher had ample chance to tag him but fumbled the ball long enough to let the old man dent the dish. A pass to Miller then was fol- lowed by Halls single and Kocher's triple.
 Redmond's single came with two gone in the ninth. Then Guest scratched hit past first and Chet Waite cleaned up with a line double fly to left. Larkin, who went out to run for Waite, was left on second when Christopher lifted to Ladd. The Score:

 Baseball fans in New York believe that President Lynch's trip through the east will result in a number of important changes in the umpiring staff of the National League. If there are no changes this season it is ex- pected number of new faces will be seen on the diamond next year calling balls and strikes and judging base running. The eastern teams, es- pecially, have complained that the umpirIng this year has been worse than ever before, the players on the New York team going so far as to ad- dress a circular letter to President Lynch complaining of the treatment they are now receiving in the west President Lynch believes that the ump1res can either make or break the game. As a former umpire he knows the necessity of having good men in the field. If he believes his present staff is competent he can be counted on to uphold them. If his actual observation shows him that the men are not capable, changes are almost sure to follow.
 For the first time this season New York sport writers practically con- cede that unless there is startling reversal of form the Chicago Cubs are due to win the National League pennant this year. The fight for sec ond place in the league, however, has become interesting. The Giants are now in that position with Pittsburg and Cincinnati a short distance away. Only 58 points separate the three teams. For time it seemed the Pittsburg Pirates had "come back" They did "come back long enough to put the Giants practically out of the race for the pennant and then slumped again. The Reds are not playing the classy balr' that was ex- pected of them earlier in the year and customers do not believe they have. much chance of nosing out either the Giants or the Pirates for the place.

Orinin of the Letter V.

The letter V may be regarded as the mutilated remains of one of the sym bols used by the ancient Egyptians in their hieroglyphics or picture writing. A common animal in their country was the two horned sand viper, represen- tation of which stood for V. The priests ultimately found that for the practical purposes of everyday life 1t was waste of time to use elaborate hieroglyphics and invented kiad of shorthand to meet the occasion. In this the snake was reduced to a V with a dash V-) to represent horns and body. The Phoenicians adopted this letter, and from them we get our V by loss of the dash, leaving only the two little horns of the original pic ture. This snake is still common in Egypt and is probably the one men toned in Genesis xix, IT, Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward" Travellers tell us that it is still addict ed to this unpleasant habit

Wet Weather and CareIs.

Camels are very sensitive to mois- ture. In the region of tropical rains they are usually absent, and if they come into such with caravans the re- suits of the rainy season are greatly feared The great humidity of the air explains the absence of the camel from the northern slopes of the Atlas and from well wooded Abyssinia. This sensitiveness expresses itself in the character of different races. The 1D- est. most noble looking camels. with short silk-like hair. are found in the interior of deserts. as in the Taureg region in north Africa, and they can not be used for journeys to moist re- gions Even fn Fezzan. south of Trip oli, the animals are shorter and fatter, with long coarse hair, and in Nile lands and on coasts it is the same.
