1915 present another reason for the
dismal finish of the~Cub team. The
West Siders as a combination were
last in the defensive line of work,
having a mark of .95S, one point be-
low the Giants. Boston led with 1866.
Individually the Cub men finished
far down in the list of their respec-
tive stations. Bresnahan was fifth
among the catchers, Archer being
ninth. Polly McLarTy kept Vic Safer
from being at the tag end of the first
basemen. Vic's work for the year
gave him a percentage of 1885, Zim-
norman fielded .943 at second base
and .909 at third. Phelan topped him
at both stations, with 1854 for sec
ond and .939 for third. Fishers mark
of 1888 at short placed him sixth.
Cy Williams total of 1868 left him far
down the list, but it was the best of
the Cub gardeners. Schultz fielded
1862 and Good 1886. Jimmy Laven-
der, as a defensive pitcher, made one
error in Al games.
GaVVy CraVath was busy in the
field, as well as at the bat He had
% assists, four more than Schultz,
who was second. Alexander was the
busiest pitcher, totaling % putouts
and 120 assists. Snyder of the
Cards was the hardest working
catcher, with 592 putouts and 204 as
sists. Hans Wagner, despite his age,
led the shortstops with a percentage
of .948. r-...
VIM. EhIen of Lake View knocked
down 1900 pins in the an-events of

were not threatened by the Sunday
shooters.

on the Comp6rdCm6nCS OF champions,
challengers and their managers.
Pitts has made flat offer of $12,-
500 as Welsh's end of the gate for
20 rounds, which is whole lot more
than the Briton is worth, Judging by
his recent fights. Now Pollok is pre-
senting counter propositions to the
Denver people, each one just enough
different from the original offer to
insure more delay. He wants Pitts
and Nate Lewis, manager of White,
to come to New York
Pitts is peeVed at both factions. He
has been in Chicago three days and
says he isn't getting fair shake
from either Pollok or Lewis. He says
the managers bicker over small
things and refuse a definite answer
He will remain two days more, and
if the managers do not come across
will hike back to the mountains.
The poor boob public could settle
the whole affair, by refusing to pat
ronize Welsh ten-round dancing
evenings. That would quickly force
Pollok and his champion to come
across, for they both like the dollar,

SOMEWHAT HARD TO FOLLOW
Sturdy Veterans Recipe for Long Life
All Right, but for Certain
Strong Considerations.

George Mclean, Jamaica negro,
seventy-f1ve years old, sailor for 81
years and still an active and able sea
man, veteran of a thousand storms and
a score of shipwrecks, has been telling
the Philadelphia Public Ledger how to
avoid illness and attain old age with.
out losing an ounce OF the strength OF
youth. Here is Georges recipe:
Eat as much as you like, whenever
you desire.
Eat whatever you like.
sleep whenever you feel sleepy.
No particular hours are necessary.
"Just live like you want to-"
There is no doubt that George has
the right idea. Youth-at least until
implacable age has broken it Of its
desire-believes in eating IS much as
1t likes, whenever it likes, and in
sleeping when 1t feels sleepy. But by
the time one is more or less able to
"just live like he wants to" lifetime
of training in the opposite direction
holds up inhibitory hands and robs
his liberty of it's SAVIOR.
George is an example-but he per
haps owes more than he realizes to
the Delaying pin and the ropes end
both of which aids to good habits were
in their prime when his habits were
forming.-Knickerbo Press.

AUSTRIAN YOUTHS IN WAR

The Austrian newspapers are devot-
ing considerable space at present to
the part played by schoolboys in the
present war. They are affectionately
termed the war boys" and in the OPP
erations in eastern Galicia they were
of great assistance to the troops.
In some of the artillery battles, es-
pecially those which centered around
Czernovitz and Weinberg, schoolboys
in large numbers braved the shells and
carried water and ammunition for the
troops.
After battle they would go over the
field and gather pieces of shrapnel and
enc shells of cartridges to be made
over again into ammunition. Occa-
sionally boy thus sacrificed his life,
but this did not deter the ardor of his
companions.
Many of the boys followed the in
fantry regiments and fought and slept
with the soldiers in the trenches. The
boys who remained at home took the
place of their fathers and brothers who
were at the front.
The story is told of fourteen-year-
old youngster who all alone managed
the biggest hotel in Czernovitz. He
looked personally after his own cashier
and bookkeeper. Other boys peddled
goods among the soldiers and SO
earned a good living for their mothers.
Some became guides, and many an
army automobile had as guide bright
schoolboy who sat beside the chauf-
fear and showed him the right road.
It is said that when the history of
this war is written the schoolboys of
Austria will deserve a prominent place
in it's pages.

The Difference.

The mistress Of the house found
Truda, the cook, very busy writing
at the kitchen table, though 1t was
past time for getting dinner. For a
half minute perhaps she watched the
laborious process of literary compo-
sition. Then Sc spoke with asperity.
How much longer" she exclaimed,
ARE you going to be over that beg
carly post card?" Truda looked up
Indignantly.
"Beggarly Postcard" she said.
"Beggarly postcard! I'd have you
know that this is no beggarly post
card! Not much! 1t is a field post

lame was very clear. A venerable
bearded priest stood beside the lamp.
His discourse was earnest and solemn.
Both man and woman hearers were
very attentive.
The ceremonies of worship are quite
simple, but the mysteries of the faith
may be less so. The Parsees who
have been educated in England and
many of those whose English educa-
ton has been obtained in Bombay
resent the designation of fire worship
ers.
One Of them gave me monograph,
written by Parsee barrister in Lon
don, which explained the creed of the
followers of Zoroaster as one of good
thoughts, good words and good deeds,
with the sacred flame as symbol of
the effulgence of the deity. 1t is not
denied, however, that contact with
Hindus and Mohammedans has caused
corruptions to creep into the creed.
The Hindus and Moslems regard the
Parsees as fire worshipers.
1t was on a New Year day that |
drove out to Malabar hill, where are
located the Towers of Silence, or the
Parsee cemetery. Every traveller takes
this drive. 1t is past the other GENE
teries, Christian and Mohammedan
burial grounds and the Hindu burning
CHAT. The cemetery of the Christians
is no longer used, but on almost any
day there will be Mohammedan fu-
nerals and Hindu cremations.
On this day there were two Moham-
medan funerals and three parties of
Hindu mourners, with their respective
burdens at the burning CHAT.
Malabar hill is the choice spot over
looking the Arabian sea. Within the
cemetery grounds are fiagstone steps.
shaded walks and arbors and bowers.
A luxuriant vegetation covers the
rocks, and there Is everything that
goes to make a beautiful garden of
flowers.
The towers of Silence, Of which
there are five, are hardly towers at
all. They are about 275 feet in cir
conference and perhaps 25 feet high.
The material is whitewashed stone
and cement or mortar. A near ap
proach to the towers is not allowed
to strangers to the Parsee creed. nor
is entrance permitted to the fire tenn
pie. where the sacred fire is kept alive
and seven kinds of incense are burned.
A model of the towers Is shown in
the registry room and an attendant ex-
plains them to visitors. The attend
ant explained to me the circular rows
in which the bodies were placed-one
for the children, one for the women
and one for the men. When the bodies
have been stripped of their fieshly
covering by the vultures, which takes
perhaps half an hour, the bones re-
main for a while, and are then
dropped into a well in the center,
which is provided with drains and
water aushes. Charcoal is the chief
purifier.
On this New Year day there was a
Parsee funeral, which could be OBJ
served only at a respectful distance.
There were the four professional body
bearers, with the bier on their shout
ders, and procession of perhaps fifty
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1915-12-31

mourners in their white robes walking
two abreast, each pair holding hand
kerchief. The Parsee accounts say
that the body is received by two beard
ed attendants at the entrance to the
towers, and that by them the shroud
is removed and then vultures do the
rest. This is probably what happened
that day.
All could note on this occasion was
sudden movement of the vultures
in the palm trees. There seemed to
be hundreds of them. They paused
for minute on the outer edge of one
of the towers and then disappeared
within. In a few minutes they re-
appeared.
The Parsee method of disposing of
the dead is, perhaps, as the Parsees
say, more sanitary than the Christian
burial in the earth, or even than the
Hindu cremation. 1t meets the tenet
of their faith that fire, water and earth
are too sacred to be polluted. But
the western mind cannot become &C
customed to it.
In conclusion, it may be said that
there are other New Year observ-
ances in India besides the New Year
Of the Christians, MOhammedans, Hin
dus and Parsees. There is Chinese
colony in Bentinck street, Calcutta, and
the Chinese there observe the New
Year as they do in the United States,
or in any other section of the world
in which they are found.

Beautiful European City.

Agram, in Croatia, is one of the
most popular cities in Europe, because
years ago its public-spirited citizens
got behind a movement and carried
out a plan for an extensive park.
THE city has population of only
about 100000 persons. but everywhere
it is known and spoken of as the city
of beautiful parks. Few persons pass
through on train that do not return.
They are drawn back by reason of

races and religions.
When a traveller who expects to
spend some time in the country goes
to the bank with his letter OF credit,
usually card is handed him on which
is printed the various holidays. This
is for his convenience, so that he
will not let himself get out Of funds
and go to the bank in a hurry, only
to find it closed on account of some
holiday The holiday may be Chris
tan, Mohammedan or that of any one
of the numerous Hindu sects.
When the usual card was given me
in Bombay, says writer, / noted the
number of these holidays which were
ascribed to New Year. They did not
exactly bear out the humorous de-
scription of every day in the year as
New Year day, but there seemed
hardly month of the Christian calen-
dar which did not have at least one
New Year designated, and In some
months there were more.
Kaleidoscope Bombay observes all
these New Year days because the
stream of Asiatic life which circulates
through it includes all the civilization
and all the races and religions OF the
Orient, with some additions from the
Occident. The spirit is one of cath
olicity.
All the races and all the religious
sects observe the New Year of the
Christian calendar, because British
rule of India is reflected in this day;
but they also observe the New Year OF
the different races and religions
among themselves, at least to the ex-
tent of knocking off work.
Whether in Bombay or Benares, the
monkey temple has it's throng Of Hin
du worshipers, and the Mohamme-
dams often are not unwilling to share
in the observance to the extent OF
foregoing their business activities.
The H1ndus on their part are apt to
think it a shame to work on Moham-
medan New Year day when the Mos
lem population may be thronging the
Jumma Musquid mosque. So 1t goes
all round the circle of New Year holt
days.
There is a simple arithmetical meth
cd of calculating the time from the
Hegira in the terms of the Christian
era. but the easier way is to accept
without question the fact that such
and such a day is the New Year of
the Mohammedan era. Similarly, the
New Year Of the Buddhists and the
Brahmins and the jams and the Sikhs
may be accepted without bothering
about the calendar.
The British New Year in Bombay.
or Calcutta, or Delhi is much the
same as in England.
While the Christian New Year is
formal and stately on account Of Brit
ish authority, it has less standing than
the New Year of the Parsees, because
it is a single days observance, while
the Parsees take two days. The year
I happened to be in Bombay was the
Parsee Yazdezardi, 1875. and the New
Year days came on September Ii and
IA.
On this day / was afforded the OPP
portunity of witnessing the Parsee re-
ugious observances, or Zoroastrian
services. 1t was in the Allbless Bagh.
on the Charm road. Their churches
or temples of worship are free from
architectural pretensions without and
within. They are more like an ordi-
nary hall.
In this temple the women were gath
cred at one end of the room and the
men at the other end. In the space
between was a stand holding a lamp
with the eternal fire under glass. The
