How Life Is Passed.

Sydney Smith once made an elab- crate calculation as to the way peo- pie apportion their time in the course of a long life. When he was seventy-two he remarked to a girl he met: ''Do you ever reflect how you pass your life? If you live to be my age, which l hope you may, your life is passed in the following manner: An hour day in seventy two years is three years. This makes twenty-seven years sleeping, nine years dressing, nine years walking, nine years at table, six years play ing with children, nine years walk ing, drawing and visiting; six years shopping and three years quarrel ing"

THE MOLE AT WORK.
Aapidity With Which the Boss Tunnel
 Digger Makes tho Dirt Fly.

IT." mole at work presents an in- tcrc ng sight. His nose sinks into tile soil as if it were a'bradawl with d half boring, half pushing motion, and in twinkling half the crea- ture's head is buried from view. Then up comes his powerful right foot, sliding close along the side of his nose. The foot, which is kind of fine pointed chisel, cuts the earth vertically until it extends as far forward as his short reach will per init; then with "a rapid motion he pries the earth sidewise from his nose and so makes an opening. Very quickly the left foot performs the i same operation on the other side, and meanwhile the gimlet pointed nose has continued to bore.
 In a few seconds his body is en- tirely out of sight and only his queer little tail is visible. In three minutes, it is said, mole will tun- nel for a distance of a foot if he be in the least hurry to go about his | business.
 A naturalist once conceived the notion of ascertaining the amount of work mole could accomplish in given time. Accordingly the ex- perimenter turned a large specimen loose in the middle of five acre field. Five seconds, it is averred, after this mole received its free dom it had burrowed out of sight, and the observer, with his assist ants, after driving stake at the starting point, retired and left the little digger hard at work.
 The start was made at il in the morning, and the direction taken was to the east. By 6 o'clock in the evening this mole is said to have dug some twenty-three feet in an irregular course, keeping, however, in the same general direction and not attempting any side galleries. Twenty-four hours after the start the tunnel had been driven thirty one feet farther, with a number of side galleries, and four feet had been added to the extremity, mak- ing sixty-eight feet of the main line and thirty-six and one-half feet of branches, or total of 104h feet of tunnels dug in twenty-five hours.
 The bottom of the tunnels ran very evenly about four Inches be- low the surface. At certain points the hole was elliptical in shape, measuring one and half inches in width by two inches in height, and sometimes it was triangular, meas uring two inches each way. The surface of the ground was usually cracked and raised about an inch along the course of the tunnel Harper's Weekly.

Not True to Life.

The son of a man who had been great philanthropist welcomed a visitor to his office. The talk turn ed on the career of the father of the young man.
 '1t was a great blow to every body-my fathers death," lamented the youth. ''By the way, here's the last portrait painted of him."
 He led the visitor to where hung on the wall a large portrait of the dead philanthropist, depicting him as standing erect with his right hand in his pocket.
 "A fine piece of york;" said the visitor grimly, 'but it's not true to life. Nobody ever saw your father with his hand in his own pocket. "- Popular Magazine.

MILLET'S POVERTY.
Pathetic Incident In the Life of the N Great French Painter.

It seems almost incredible that Millet, painter of "rhe Angelus" and other now world famous pie lures, should have suffered from the poverty that forms the basis of the following story, but it is fact that he did: One day, indeed, he found himself without food in the house for himself and his family. In his extremity his friend Diaz of- fered to take two of Millet's draw ings to Paris and make an effort to sell them. Evening came, the Mill let family anxiously awaiting their friends return. If he came back without the drawings it meant bread; with them, hungry to bed. Night fell, the family sitting in darkness because they felt they could not afford light.
 At last they heard the stamping of Diaz's wooden leg as he crossed the little paved court and his lusty voice calling out: Light! Light! Where is the light?" The family hurried to light candle. But even while the head of the old fashioned sulphur match was still sputtering Diaz, who was Spaniard and noth- ing if not temperamental, slapped down two loaves of bread on the table, one after another, in quick succession. When at last the candle was burning he drew out 60 francs ($12) in gold, all save one piece, which he had been obliged to change in buying the bread. He arranged the gold pieces in circle like halo around the candle, ending with the change, of which he made neat pile.
 "Ah," sighed Millet as he re- garded the unhoped for treasure, eff only I could count on a sum like this every weekw
 "Would you turn capitalist" ?" re- proachfully asked Diaz.
 If to suffer is a spur to genius is it wonder that these Barbizon men were great painters ?-Exchange.

'But," she asked, "haven't you ever told any other girl that you loved her ?"\
 'sYes," he replied; '1 have told dozen other girls I loved them. l thought l did, too, but you are the first one l have ever really loved. I know now that l never realized be- fore what real love was."
 'How can you be sure that this is real love?"

Gave His Wife a Vacation.

The hero of this story believed in vacations, particularly vacations for his wife. Every time he heard some- body talking about the hardships of spending the hot summer months amid the din and dust of the crowd ed city he had to pay money to his tailor because he wore out his sleeve laughing into it. He loved his lit tie freedom and made no secret of it.
 One day a friend asked him:
 "Jack, where is your wife ?"
 "She's up in the Thousand is- lands," he replied lightly, "and l hope she'll spend week on each one of them!"- !"-Popular Magazine. :,

Paper Money.

Paper money is said to have had its origin in China in the year s06, when the government issued it to relieve a financial stringency, re- ceiving coin in return, which ena~ bled it to pay off outstanding obliga- tions. In the museum of St. Johns college in Shanghai is a paper bill worth 1000 cash, the equivalent of 50 cents American money, which was issued by the first Ming emperor (Hungwu A. D., 136s-99). It is nearly two feet long and one foot wide, printed on mulberry bark pa- per, and is a dark slate color.

The Ghost and the Meat.

We have all heard of the French schoolboy who, asked to translate into English the French of ''To be or not to be-" evolved this, ''To was or not to am."
 Another schoolboy has equaled this translation, according to the London Chronicle, in recovering from German the text, "T2aa spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak" in the form, "The ghost, of course, is ready, but the meat is feeble"

Hard Luck.

A weary and hungry looking tramp in an English town entered shop and bought a pennyworth of bread. As he was going out he noticed a tub labeled "Treacle." |" "I'm in luck~ he thought as he dropped the piece of bread into the tub. ''I'm sorry, guy'ner,'' he said to the shopkeeper who was standing near, "I've dropped my bread in your treacle." "Treacle ?" cried the shopkeeper. 'That ain't treacle- that's tar"

HARRY SMITH HAS PITCHING
PROGRAM CAREFULLY PLANNED
Willy Tiger Leader Figures Out How He Can Make
Clean Sweep on the Road Trip if His
Scheme Is Successful
BENdALs DUE TO OPEN NEW SERIES AT MONTREAL

Wyatt Lee is going out to equal his
1910 record, when he achieved the rec
ord of beating his former teammates
eight times. So far Lee has bested
the Leafs five times this season. He
will get his opportunity to put over
the sixth straight victory today, and
1t is expected that he may pitch at
least four more games in the remains
ing series between Newark and To-
ronto.
-
Harry Smith has broken up the rou-
tine of his staff in order to use Lee
twice in this series. He figured on
Saturday that Barger could stand the
rest better than Bell. so he used
George in the first game against Max
we'll and came back with Aitchison in
the second contest. Harry's head
work was apparent. He figured thar
facing two southpaws In succession
would not bother the Leafs SO mucS
as having to bat against a right<
handler in between. Barger needs four
days rest, while Bell must be workee
in turn to keep in condition. Cy has
been successful against Montreal and
will pitch the first game there tomor-
row, unless something unforeseen pc-
ours. That will leave Barger ready to
pitch In the first game against
Rochester on Saturday. Aitehison
will probably work against Montreal
Wednesday, and he will take his turn
in the second game Saturday. Smith
figures ii out that by careful handling
of his pitchers he may make clean
sweep on the trip. His program has
been carefully arranged since the day
he left Newark and everything has
panned out nicely. .at
To add to the joy of the Bengal
leader every man in the regular line
up is hitting better just now than at
any time this season. The slump.
which has been predicted by sinister
prophets, is nowhere in sight, and IL
the Bengals can continue their VIM
ming streak a little bit longer Roches-
ter will be so far behind that the race
will be decided beyond all doubt.

Consistent Smuggling Respon-
sible for Double Victory in
Kinkead Cup Series.
IRONSIDES BREAK EVEN

The Maple A. c., as a result of
their double victory over the Riordan
A. A, of Harrison yesterday rules
the favorite for the Eugene f. Kin
kead silver loving cup, emblematic
of the championship of Hudson Coun-
ty. The Parkway A. c., of Kearny,
the third contender, will probably
face the Naples within a few weeks.
Each team will meet the other twice.
The first game yesterday was staged
at Riverside oval, Kearny, and the
score favored the Naples by to A..
The afternoon contest on Riordan
oval, furnished a smuggling match, the
Naples winning 10 to IL. Brierly's
home run smash in the afternoon
game was the longest ever seen on
Riordan oval.
In the fifth inning of the second
session, the Naples hammered Mech
an for a triple, two singles and three
doubles, netting six runs.
The Riordan's gathered three runs
in the sixth, but the Naples came
back for five more in the seventh on
four doubles and two singles.
In this frame the Riordan's scored
three more on two passes, an error
and q single which ended their scor-
ing. In the ninth, E. Zeller singled,
stole second and came home on Vans

FANS ENJOY BURLESQUE

NIAGARA FALLS. N. Y, July 2S.-
Newark's pennant chasers, who are
carrying everything before them In
international League circles, rung
up their tenth consecutive victory
here, yesterday afternoon, but their
win will not be credited to them IN
the international League records
The team the Tigers walloped was a
semi-pro outfit and 1t was an ex-
hibition game. The struggle was n
pitchers battle''-that Is, the score
was close-one run deciding the ISSUE
Newark winning, 12-11.
The Carter Crum outfit slugged the
ball for eighteen hits. while the
Tigers stopped with only twelve bin
giles to their credit, but the Newark
ers played rings around the home
team and pulled the game out in the
ninth inning, when they showed
around two runs. Enzmann and
Shack toiled for the Tigers.
Everything was done in wholesale
fashion. The official scorer said that
there were no errors, and diagnosed
everything as a base hit, hence the
large number of bingles. 1t is be-
lieved that he also padded the home
teams score because the Tigers had
no statistician with them. In one
inning the official scorer got mixed
up and posted six runs for the Carter
Crum when they only made four
tallies. The umpire was going to
bench Acting Manager Eddie Zlm-
norman for protesting, but changed
his mind when Eddie refused to leave
the game. Then the umpire said that
any hits or putouts Eddie made
would not be counted, and, though
Eddie finished the game at third base,
his putouts and assists were not
credited to him, and the, Tigers had
to retire four and five men In some
innings.
The game was a burlesque all the
way, but the 5000 fans seemed to
enjoy 1t. The score:
