Bend was the best catcher with a
percentage OF 1888, accepting 294
chances out of possible 299. Wat
son OF South Bend was also classed
among the eight leading catchers
with a fielding average of .977.
Cramer OF Terre Haute and Frost
of Dayton fielded their positions in
better style than other Central
league pitchers, both tying for first
place with a perfect fielding aver
age. McColl OF South Bend made
more assists than any other OF the
ten leading pitchers. although

within the coveted limit, made 124
assists, Just II more than McColl.

first baseman, participating in 12S
games with an average OF 1874. The

AS chances, making nine boots.

in AZ games led the third sackers
according 20 official figures. The
doughty South Bender booted seven
chances out of a possible IA. Gray

Cold Snaps Of the Past.
(Farmington JournaD

Our old friend w. S. Heath Of Sa-
lem says this March weather isn't any
thing at all new when we think Of what
we read in our histories of the war of
1875 and compare accounts. On Dec.
%, 1879, we read that a wagner, his
horse and four oxen were found frozen
to death near the dyke on Boston Neck,
and that in the last storm the Cen
eral Arnold privateer was driven on
shore near Plymouth and bilged, when
80 of the crew perished and the surviv-
ors were much frostbitten. Nov. 25,
1779, Maj. General Gates troops were
marching barefooted over the frozen
ground to Winter quarters. Jan. 8,
1880, snow being about four feet deep
on the level caused the troops great
difficulty in keeping open communica-
tions to the posts for obtaining provis-
ions, fuel, etc. However, the Hudson
River being frozen afforded the troops
an opportunity for furnishing the
much needed supplies. Jan. 12, 1880,
the weather continued intensely cold. A
man belonging to the garrison at West
Point was frozen to death on his re-
turn from New Windsor to the Point
and many soldiers were frostbitten.

Something to Steal.

An English prisoner had for the
tenth time been convicted for theft and
to avoid punishment for his last Of
fense had promised to enlist. The
Judge was greatly perplexed as to
what degree Of leniency he should deal
out. Addressing the counsel, he re-
marked, "It is difficult to see what use
such a man as your client would be
in the army" Counsel for the defense,
seeing that the judge was in excellent
humor, deciding bit of facetiousness

would not, replied, "Well, my lord, he
might be usefully employed in steal
ing a march on the enemy"

Curious Musical Product Of Psru's An.
cient Potteriss.
The potters Of ancient Peru used to
manufacture an ingenious musical in
strument which may very properly be
called a whistling jug. In collections
of antiquities it is called silvadOr or
silvio. Specimens are obtained from
the ancient burial places Of Peru.
One Of these consists Of two vases
whose bodies are Joined one to tho
other, with a hole or opening between
them. The neck Of one of these vases
is closed, with the exception Of small
opening, In which clay pipe is insert
ed leading to the body Of the whistle.
The closed neck Of this double vase II
modelled into a representation Of .
birds head.
When liquid is poured into the open
necked vase the air 10 compressed In
the other, and in escaping through the
narrow opening is forced into the whis-
tie, the vibration producing the sounds.
Many Of these sounds represent the
notes Of birds; one In the collection at
the British museum initiates the notes

the thrush tribe peculiar In Peru
