iel 10 Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Burlington, Aug. 1.-THE BurlinG-
ton Red Sox took game from the
Yesterday that the home team tried
hard TO loose but that the men OF
Richards absolutely refused TO take.
The first wonder is that the locals did
not make about twice the scores they
did amass and the second is that they
got only nine hits off Maui.
The Marshalltown pitcher and his
delivery We're in many ways synony-
nous. 1t is a certain fact that he Was
lucky in escaping with as close game
as he did and it is also certain that he
bear or some other equally as graceful
animal when ne went after q ground
ball. He seemed TO reach out his hand
and then strive 10 catch his hand, with
the inevitable result that the bah and
the runner as we'll as the hand stayed
clear until first base was safely passed.
Some Wonderfully ludicrous Work.
The game. if game it can De called,
was one of the most wierd of contests.
Each side did some wonderful work
wonderfully ludicrous-and the seven
errors thai are charged against the Wis
itors are no more than were justly
earned by them. Wait Richards new
catcher from the Western league,
failed 10 show the class he was re-
puted 10 have. and il is against his
record that three OF the moots are
chalked. He allowed two men To count
when the ball was home in plenty OF
time TO cat off the run. and especially
on one occasion Morgan hooked
around him when he had the bail and
was standing waiting TO tag him out.
Weirdness Not Confined to Ansons.
The weirdness of play was not alto
gether on the side of the visitors. on
more than one occasion the fans were
aroused TO mirth on account OF some
play that looked like a typicaily Ep-
WORKMAN stunt. Even McGlade par
| ticipated in the fun, but he is ex-
cused on account of the facr that tbs
Marshalltown player took what looked
like a suicidal chance to get TO second.
The play arose when Jude was given
walk by Miller He took a long lea d
off first and Hale. who made his 1914
debut with the Red Sox in yesterday 5
game made a perfect peg 10 first to
catch the runner off. Instead of doing
the supposed stunt OF trying to get
back, jude crossed UP the local first
sacker and started for second Nc
Glade thought that he was coming
back and when he received the peg
tagged a, the air bach. of him. and held
to the ball long enough to allow Jude to
get TO second in safety.

The Ansons' scores came in the sixth
and seventh. The one talley in the
sixth came as result of a base on
balls an infield out and a single by
Wait. The two in the seventh came
when Jude singled and went to second
on Bromley's single. The runners ad-

THE GOLD TEST.
Its Use In Diagnosing Diseases of the
Brain and Nerves.

Its Use In Diagnosing Diseases of the
Brain and Nerves.
Like the weird remedies and tests
of medicine In the middle ages are
some of the latest means science has
devised to detect and classify forms
Of insanity and brain affections. Salts
of gold in solution, drops of spinal
ering Of normal persons brain and
various other similar materials are the
means, employed.
The gold test, for instance, is used
to prove definitely the existence of
paresis. meningitis and several other
forms of nervous diseases, though in
practice 1t is used mostly as cor
roborative proof rather than the only
proof. Solutions of salt of gold of
carefully graduated strength are put
into test tubes, with the weakest So
lutions at one end of the row grad
ing up to the strongest at the other
end.
Fluid from the spinal column of the
person who is being examined Is then
dropped into the tubes. The presence
of certain kinds Of brain or nervous
trouble is then indicated by the col
ors produced in some of the tubes.
The particular color produced and the
strength of the solution that shows
the color strongest give the clew to the
kind Of disease.
Another peculiar test for certain 9TH
er kinds Of brain trouble is to take a
drop of blood from the person exam
ined and place in 1t a prepared solu-
ton from tiny particle of brain cov-
ering of a normal person. Epilepsy
causes an easily detected reaction on
the combined solution, while other
brain disturbances are detected by a
similar process, using other materials
in the same way.-Saturday Evening

HIDING THE JOKER NUGGET.
An Incident of the Early Australian
Gold Diqqinas.

Among the rich finds In the Austria
Han gold diggings the Joker nugget
ranks among the chief. 1t turned the
scale at thirty ounces and was sold for
5000. In size and shape 1t resembled
a mans hand. thick at the wrist part
and tapering off toward the fingers.
The claim had been good one from
the first, and the owner did not have
to work hard. One day he was reclin-
ing full length idly searching for mug
gets when he caught sight of the Joker.
He at once covered 1t with his hand
and sat up, rather wondering how he
would secure the treasure without be-
every man In the field would tramp to
the spot and invade his claim and so
prevent his working
A man in an adjoining claim looked
up. Found anything?" he asked. "No.
Seen the color; that's ALL Pitch my
coat over to me. will you? It's lying
near there. ! want a smoke" Here
you are, mate. But what's the mat.
ter? You look pale. Don't you feel
right" I'm all right, only the sun
is bit hot"
He was struggling with an insane
desire to laugh. but he got his coat
over the nugget and seated himself on
the top Of it. Then laughter overpow-
cred him, and he became hysterical.
Those about him wondered, but thought
Nhn sim had n offnctad him
In little while he gained his com.
posure and decided to so to his tent.
In lifting his coat he managed to take
up the lump of gold, and no one knew
that he had found anything. 1t was
not until ten days had passed that the
fact was noised abroad, and even then
few knew the claim whence the Joker
came

EUROPEAN POLICEMEN.
Clever In London, "Sloppy" In Paris
and Polite In Berlin.

Clever In London, "Sloppy" In Paris
and Polite In Berlin.
In humor, in urbanity, as In perfect
control Of his district, the London DO
liceman is the nearest approach to per.
fecdon, writes Percival Pollard, who
in "Vagabond Journeys" has a word
to say of the various policemen of the
world. He adds that In looks only our
American policemen equal those of
London.
To the stranger the policeman seems
the politest of all Londoners. Chiefly.
however, it is In his control of traffic,
awheel and afoot, that he is unrivaled.
When you consider the narrowness of
the streets you constantly marvel at
the easy skill with which he solves
his problem.
The Paris policeman never looks any
thing but sloppy" and his notion of
controlling traffic at crowded street
crossings is enough to make the OBJ
server shout with laughter No one
minds him, and his attempts to regu-
late the speed Of the Partisan cabby
only result in a slanging match. OBJ
servation of Partisan street traffic is
all that is really necessary to impress
you with the belief that In case Of
need the Paris policeman would al
ways, with much noise and melo-
drama. arrest the wrong person.
The police of Berlin are vastly bet
ter than those of Paris. They do not
look as well, according to our notions,
as the English 'constables," but they
are fairly smart. The men are polite,
control traffic inexorably and see to it
that Berlin Is one of the cleanest and
most orderly of cities. But as rea-
soning individuals the Berlin police
men are hardly to be counted at all.
When anything happens to you more
serious than crossing a congested
street or losing your way you are fair
ly certain Of running hard against a
city ordinance, mechanically enforced
by the man on the beat
No argument or persuasion prevails.
There is the regulation, and here the
Instrument to enforce it. The human
element is entirely absent. Both Italy
Ind France are as to their police more
human.

HUSBANDS IN WlLLEsDEN.
They Mind tho Babies at Home While
the Wives Go Out to Work.

They Mind the Babies at Home While
tho Wives Go Out to Work.
Willesden is perfect paradise for a
certain type of husband. There Is no
need for him to 60 out to work; bis
wife will see to that. All he need do
is stay at home and mind the baby.
He has job for life and practically
nothing to do.
The Gilbertian arrangement is due
to the peculiar industrial conditions of
Willesden, where there are many laun-
dries and factories and female labor
is much In demand. Although 1t is
cheaper than male labor would be at
the same class of work, the wages are
good, considering that only five days
week are worked in the laundries, the
women not being required on Mondays.
AS much as from 20 to 80 shillings
week can be earned, FL being a COM
mon wage. even for girls.
Consequently the women rule the in.
dustrial world of Willesden. The posi-
tions Of man and wife are reversed
There is no need for the man to go to
work. Not only would he be unsuita-
BILE for the job, but the labor and the
wages would not suit him.
Therefore a working girl, when she
has saved sufficient money and thinks
of marrying, looks around to find an
eligible man, whom it would be her
duty to keep In after life. He must
know how to bathe, dress and feed a
baby; how to amuse it and what to do
when 1t has commissions other than
rolling 1t on the floor or slapping 1t on
the back. If he can do all this the girl
proposes, is accepted df she is strong
enough to work), and the knot is tied.
When the children grow up they are
packed off to the laundrtes or to one Of
the biscuit, incandescent mantle or ce-
dar pencil factories that abound in the
neighborhood. and their wages go to
swell the family income. AS for ia
ther, he continues his congenial task
of warming the baby's milk and per-
forming other little duties. London

How Two Great Fighters
Used to Talk II Over
By Holland.

OF all the soldiers who held impor-
tant commands upon either side dur
ing the Civil War there was probably
none to whom q greater tribute Of re-
spect and admiration was given than
Joseph e. Johnston.
This was in great measure due to
the unaffected modesty OF the great
general. When he entered the House
OF Representatives as a member from
the Richmond district he chose q seat
on the rear row near the main door.
lie never obtruded himself In such a
manner as 10 become conspicuous
upon the floor of the House He could
not have failed to notice that visitors
IN the gallery fastened their eyes
upon him and spoke TO one another
of him.
/ used often to see General William
T. Sherman, who had the privilege Of
the floor OF the House, enter by the
main door, quickly look toward the
place which he knew 10 be that of
General Johnston, and then, with a
sort Of side step, drop into an adjoin
ing seat These two great generals,
who had been opposed TO one another
from the time Sherman began his
march to the sea until General john
ston surrendered to the Federal gene
raj when in camp near Durham, n.
c., revealed a singularly tender re-
lation 10 one another, as they sat in
quiet converse in the two rear seats
upon the aisle upon the Democratic
side of the House.
Members Of the House used fire.

men, thinking, no doubt. Of their
great campaigns and of the soldierly
fraternal relation which was estab
lished between them.
was never able to learn what
these two generals talked about.
Their conversation certainly had no
relation to anything that was in pro-
gress upon the floor OF the House OF
Representatives
One afternoon. on a day succeeding
a meeting of this kind between Gen
eral Johnston and General sherman,
when they had chatted cordially for
more than an hour. I spent some
time with General Johnston in the
sitting room of his house OH Con-
necticut avenue. I yentured TO say
TO him that there were many persons
who had looked with intense interest
at himself and General Sherman as
they sat together in the House OF
Representatives thinking no doubt Of
the attitude IN which they stood to
one another in Civil War days. and
especially IN the last days OF the
great conflict.
A smile exquisite in its tenderness
lighted the bronzed face Of the old
Confederate soldier. Then he said:
General Sherman was a great sol
der. and, like all great soldiers whom
] have ever known or Of whom I
have ever heard, he is a man of ten
der heart, deploring war and all its
awful accessories as none but a true
soldier can"
