As to Chickens.

They are the most dadbusted. an' certainest creatures that walk ehe family acre. Almost everybody tries to raise chickens at one time or ans other. Looks easy-that's the decetSA ing part of 1t.
 And it is easy, after you learn one thing: Little chickens don't know anything. medium sized chickens don't know anything. big chickens don't know anything. IT there is . change of an intellectual nature as the size increases biz ones know less if possible than little ones.
 If there Is a wire partition In your pen with an open door at one end the chickens will try to plunge through the wire instead of going around and walking through the door.-Puck.

PORCELAIN DUE TO ACCIDENT
How the Process Of Financing Was Discovered by Chinese Workers
 About 2o6 B. c.

Near the year 206 B. C., in the be- ginning of the dynasty of Han. some workers in earthenware set their pots fin the oven to bake, and forgot them. When they remembered them and opened the oven doors they found that the pots were vitrified in shining spots. In this way the enamehng of porcelain was discovered. Whm freed of it's dross the substance g1sw lighter, become clear. and acquired A xrsin as fine and smooth as vel vet and . thin. hard. translucent body that rang like a bell.
 The art of monochromatic glazing was discovered in the time of the dynasty of Sung (960-12S0 B. O.. Occasionally the action of the nre sep arated the pigments and produced e1- cessive richness of color. The Mon- rol invasion checked the progress of ceramic art. In 1868 Tai-Tsu, the son of a day laborer, dethroned the emperor and founded the dynasty of Ming, whose reign persisted until 1644. Tai-Tsu lost no time In restor- ing the imperial manufactories. He gave the national manufactory the monopoly of the work in porcelain, ex- cepting nothing but the white pottery manufactured by the artisans of Tehua. Under the new impetus all the ancient methods were revived and perfected. The system of three-color and flve-color decoration. after a pre- nminary firing, dates from the re- naissance of art under the Ming dy- nasty.-Harper's Weekly.

The Evidence Is Convincing. The Testimony Open To InveSti-
 gatiOn.

Before statement can be ac- cepted here, it must be support ed by local testimony-by the evidence of someone residing in Newport. Statements from un- known people in remote places, may be true, but we cannot prove them. Here is a statement by a Newport man:
 W. I. Hall, farmer, R. F. D. No. 2, Box 97, Newport, Ark, says : "I have never lost an opportuni- ty during the past six years to praise Doan's Kidney Pills for what they have done for me. az well as others of my family They have made such complete cures of kidney trouble that it has not been necessary for us to take them or any other kid ney medicine since.
 "One of the family took Deans Kidney Pills for trouble with the kidney secretions, together with a weak and painful back. They cured her and later I used them for similar complaint Their action in my case was just as satisfactory and l was quickly cured. Doan's Kidney Pills were procured at Duttor's Drug Store (No~T Walkers Pharmacy) anc have always been so beneficial that I willingly confirm our for mer endorsement"

He landed several times with both
hands to Moran's chin and, although
several of the punches Jared the
to send him to the canvas. McCarty
was the only one who went to the
floor, and his fall was not due in any
way to a punch. Just before the
bell sounded at the end of the ninth
round Moran rushed at McCarty with
head down and butted Luther in the
stomach. The force of the collision
was enough to upset McCarty, and he
fell backward, but was up again in an
instant.
McCarty had the advantage of ten
pounds in weight, the figures being
pounds for McCarty. The latter was
slightly taller than Moran and of more
ideal build for ring work.
A straight left jab, with plenty of
snap to it, was McCarty's most effec-
tive punch. He had Moran bleeding
from a cut on the forehead early in
the bout and also had blood flowing
from his nose and a cut lip. He
threatened to close Moran's eye with
this jab, but after raising a swelling
under the optic as early as the fourth
round he did no more damage to this
Particular spot. Moran had McCarty
bleeding from the nose in the fourth

in the closing rounds, after McCarty

Tt was an altogether different style
that McCarty showed last night, as
compared with his work against
Stewart and Willard at the Garden
last August. His speedy left jab was
not in evidence then, and he relied
more on his right. clumsily handled.
Last night McCarty did good work in
the closing rounds with a short right
uppercut, which found it's way time
and again to Moran's chin, but he was
very ineffective with his overland
right. It was delivered in way that
indicated he was muscle bound in the
shoulders. There was no sting to it
and no speed.

YALE FROWNS ON
SUMMER BASEBALL
Capt. Blossom Says Players Can
Work Their Way Without
II

Summer ball has been frowned on
BY the authorities at Yale. Many of
the minor colleges have favored the
step but the Eli players will not be
allowed to play summer ball for mon
ey- Capt. Blossom of the Yale nine
has the following to say on the sub
sect:
Il am not certain but that the plan
Is very desirable for the colleges who
have made it and have no criticism
to make of any who have taken that
step do not think that, at least at
This time. it is necessary for Yale and
Harvard to take such a move, for
there are plenty OF chances for stu
dents at both of these institutions to
work their way through college with
out playing summer ball.
Coach Quinby said:
Much can be said in favor of the
viewpoint taken by the smaller col
leges, but I am the coach and not a
member OF the athletic committee and
framing eligibility rules is not part of
my duties do feel, however, that.
as long as we at Yale and Harvard
have eligibility rules we ought to live
up to them. That's what we are do
ing at Yale and. think, successfully.
I believe that, for the present, Yale
should continue to live up to her rules
for pure amateurship.'

points, the draw decision was COM

BASEBALL USED
TO TEACH PUPILS

Washington, May Baseball IL be-
ing injected into the curriculum OF
the schools of the National Capitol
as an aid in the teaching of arith-
metfc. This developed. today, when
groups of school children were d1scov-
cred reading the baseball news and
eagerly interrogating each other as to
the best means of figuring averages.
1t transpired that teachers in arithme-
tic have been using problems in their
classes such as the following:
IF Chick Gandill is at bat forty
times and makes twelve hits what Is
his average?''
''If the Nationals win eleven games
out of fifteen, what percent do they
lose?''
The new system is said by the in-
structors to be highly successful
Thoroughly interested in the national
sport, the children are said to take
real joy in solving the problems and
the same process is utilized in prob
lens in linear or square measurement
and in the case of the less advanced
pupils in addition and subtraction.
The baseball diamond is noEv one OF
the commonest diagrams to be found
on the blackboards of the schools OF
the Capitol.

Leaving the question of clothes and
getting back to the national pastime,
it must be confessed that Simon Le-
gree Mccain hated to take that game
from New Haven yesterday. He had
a patchwork team with Eddie Burns
on first and Brono Silzer in the out
field, and Chief Snyder went into the
pilot house with nothing but the old
confidence. Nevertheless by hitting

of the Barrister. Manager Pteper mas
always been known to be on haa1n
with the pay envelopes, and his play
ers are contented: Fall River failed
last season to come across with the
goods, and the result was that the
fans didn't support the game there.
The club was transferred to Portland,
and Hugh Duffy was given the fran
chise, thanks to none other than Jesse
Burkett At the present time the
Fall River club is without a manager
and it will start the season with
Frank Courntye directing the work of
the team. Fall River fans won't
well up in the race. Fall River is
unreliable, as far as financial support
is concerned, and the team will prob
ably be on the hands of the league
before many moons.
Another city that little is known of,
outside of the fact that it is going
to put ball club in the field, is New
Bedford. The WhaIers were woefu1-
lily weak last season and were poorly
supported. The same conditions will
probably exist this season. as the city
seems to have outlived its usefulness
as good ball city.
Brockton failed to support a win
ming club during the early part of
last years campaign and when the
Shoenakers fell in the rut, fans turn
ed their backs upon the team. What
win happen there this season is prob
Iematical- The fans in the shoe city
will not support a losing ball club
The league is a huge joke. IF the
magnates intend to allow it to remain
the laughing stock of the baseball
world there will be no New England
refuse to patronize the game unless
if is better managed.

LUTHER M'CARTY
DEFEATS MORAN

Luther McCarty, crowned king of
the white heavyweights after his sue
cessive knockout victories against
Kaufman, Flynn, and Pa1zer, out
pointed Frank Moran of Pittsburgh IN
3 ten-round bout at the st. Nicholas
Rink, New York, last night. A whirl-
wind finish in the closing round gave
McCarty the honors by a comforta Bile
margin and threatened for a time to
bring the battle to a finish before the
scheduled distance was reached. Nor
ans ruggedness and stamina came to
his rescue In the tenth round, and he
was able to stay on his feet until the
final bell sounded. But that last round
was overloaded with rough spots for
the Pittsburgher.
nacCarty demonstrated beyond dis
5ute that he is a boxer best suited to
long bouts He was slow starting,
but was coming along at a good clip
at the finish If the bout had much
longer to go 1t is doubtful that Moran
would have been able to weather the
storm. as McCarty's steady attack was
