CLEAN THE SPRINGS.

The suspension springs OF car should be
cleaned and fabricated frequently. A squeak
can often be traced to the springs When
they become rusty sQueaks are bound to
arise. BY lifting the weight off the springs
it is an easy matter to insert between the
leaves a paste made OF graphite and oil.
This will not only eliminate the squeak, but
also produce easier riding qualities.

WHERE THE SHIPS COAL.
George Harding in Harper's Maga-
 zine.)

There are about 40 coaling-ports scattered over the seven seas, from Panama, lying in strategic position at the canal entrance, to the remote South Sea Island port of Apia, but there are none so essential to shipping, and none so celebrated on all the water-fronts of the world, as Gibraltar, Port Said, Colombo, Singapore, and Nagasaki. on the main trade route to the Orient. For ships London bound on the long, 11,000-mile voyage from the Far East, necessary stops are regularly made at these ports by both cross-sea liners and plodding cargo-carriers. Port Said was unheard of, and Nagasaki was un- visited by the seafaring men of the full-rigger age, for trade routes and ships have changed since the tea-clip- per left Whampoa and made London without calling at ? port. The pres ent day mail-steamer, making Is knots an hour, is unable to carry. sufficient coal for an 11.000-mile passage with out renewing the supply in way ports; and the modern tramp steamer, built to carry as much cargo as can be stow ed, and barely enough coal to drive the engines from one coaling port to the next is in the same predicament.
 Huge supplies of coal are kept in all these ports for the needs of arriving shipping. At Port Said, for instance,

AND FOR YOUNG MEN AT THE BRILL STORES

100000 tons of coal are landed each year from collfers which daily arrive from England to supply the shipping which passes through the Suez Canal.
 Wherever there is a coaling-port. there the trade routes gather. On the Track Chart for Full-powered Steam Vessels" published by the Hydro graphic Office. Washington, the trade routes which cross the great expanse of the Pacific radiate in all directions, like the spokes of a gigantic wheel, from each of the island ports of Hon. olulu, of Apia and of Tahiti. Shore- ward they are directed to San Francis co. to Panama, and to Valparaiso; and on the Asiatic side of the Pacific all routes lead to Nagasaki in the north, and to Sydney in the south. Similar ly, in the South Atlantic ocean there are established, for the use of steam CTS plying the routes of those waters coaling stations of large importance at the otherwise remote ports of Santa Cruz de Teneriffe, at the Cape Verde Islands, at Ascension Island and at St Helena, all of them island ports lying well away from the African coast. Teneriffe is regular coaliDg- port on the route to all African ports from the Ivory Coast to Capt Town; and the Cape Verde Islands-where 1000 steamers call for coal in sim gle year-are on the main route from the English Channel to the ports of South America. These ports are on the cross-sea- highways of the worlds commerce; from them stretch the by paths and to them come the coastwise routes

ssOLD BALDY'' ONE OF MOST FAMOUS HORSES
 IN WORLDS HISTORY

The head of one of the most fa- nous horses in history hangs mounted on a shield in the headquarters of George G. Meade postin Philadelphia It Is that of Old Baldy, General Meade's mount in the operations of the armies of the Potomac and Virginia The horse was raised in the west and was brought east by Colonel E. D. Baker of Oregon, who was killed at Balls Bluff on Oct. 21, 1881. General Meade bought him in Washington for $150.
 The horse was wounded in the nose by a piece of shell at the battle of Bull Run on July 21. 1861, but was not put out of service. He served at Dranesville. Mechanicsville, Gaines Mills and Groverton and was wounded again at the second battle of Bull Run on August 30, 1862. when he was shot through, a hind leg.
 Two weeks later he was ridden at the battle of South Mountain, and on Sept. r he was shot through the neck at the battle of Antietam and was abandoned, apparently dying. He was afterward found by General Meade's servant browsing on the bat tlef1eld. He had recovered sufficient ly to serve General Meade in the Oc- tober and November campaign to Fall mouth, In 1863 he was at Chancei- lorsville during the first three days Of Mag and at Gettysburg on July l, and 8, He was shot through the ribs on July 9.
 He was in three other engagements that year, and in 1864 he was in the Wilderness campaign at Spottsyivania' North Anna Creek. Cold Harbor, Pe- tersburg and several other places where there was hard fighting.
 At the end of the war he was taken to General Meade's country place near Philadelphia, where he remained sev- en years. He was led in the great parade in Philadelphia on Dec. 16, 1879. in honor of General Grants re- turn from his tour of the world. He was later given to John J. Davis of Jenkintown, who cared for him until it became necessary to kill him be-

 The story of this invention wal copied in good faith by a Paris jour nal and set forth as le dernier cri in American collection boxes. However. I believe the story was a hoax. No congregation would endure such . noisy contraption. And then. too. the underlying principle is unsound. psychologically and pedagogically. The scale should have run the other way. Five dollars might signal the choir for the Doxology, and silence as loud as the crack of doom would probably be sufficient for a penny. It is just possible that there ought to be some more notice for a plugged nickel or suspender button.
 Church finance Is almost a virsin field for the efficiency expert. The Protestant churches of this country probably transact $150.000.o0o bus mess each year. They hold property to the value of about billion and a half. Such totals appears imposing.
 The Laymen's Missionary Move- mont has supplied us with more cas- fly comprehended figures. The aver ago church member pays IT cents and mills a week fo. the support of his church and cents and ]. mill through the church for benevolent purposes.
 Even these statistics are misleading. Dn r. A. Agar, after a long and care- full study of the subject, confidently asserts that fully half of Protestant church members of this blessed and prosperous country make no regular contributions at all to church expenses and two-thirds of them give not one cent to missions,
 AS has been so often pointed out, the church must be supernatural. Otherwise she would have died long ago.

in the country, and the Brooklyn Ex- celsiors were not far behind. Just fifty-six years ago today, July 26. 1860 the Excelsiors completed the first tour ever made by baseball club. While this trip did not equal in ex- tent the famous junkets pulled off lat CT in the same decade by the Cincin- nati Red Stockings, the Washington Nationals and the Rockford, H.. club, 1t set the example and aroused enula- ton.
 The Excelsiors started their 1860 tour on the first of July. playing the next day at Albany, winning a "A to 6 victory from the capital boys. The Troy club next fell before the trip pers, 13 to T. The Buffalo Niagaras fell before the onslaught of the Ex- lcelsiors. 50 to 19. Rochester was de- 6eated 21 to 1, and the Live Oaks 27 to g. At Newburg on the return trip the Excelsiors rolled up score of 59, their opponents getting IA runs. The Brooklyn boys then headed south, playing games in Pennsylvania, Nary land and Delaware. Baltimore was defeated 51 to and Philadelphia fell to the tune of 15 to 4.
 The Brooklyn Atlantics were even more famous than the Excelsiors. It
 was the Atlantic club which in 1870 stopped the famous winning streak of the Cincinnati Red Stockings. For a year and a half this pioneer profess sfonal outfit had whipped the best clubs of America, from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Gulf to Canada, but the Atlantics, an amateur club composed exclusively of natives
 of Brooklyn. bested the Reds two out
 of three. John c. Chapman, the last
 surviving member of the old Atlantics,
 died in his home in Brooklyn last
 month.
 The Capitoline Grounds in Brook
 lyn, where the Atlantics played their games, was probably the biggest ball yard ever known. and while it lack
 ed the lavish and luxurious features of modern big league parks, it was
 there when it came to size. The site of the old home of the Atlantics is |now covered with expensive apartment
 buildings, and Is now one of the clas- sy residential sections of the City of Churches.
 Great as was Brooklyn in amateur
 baseball, it was a comparatively late
 conner in professional circles In 1876 | the Mutuals. charter members of the National league, had their home in Brooklyn, but they claimed to repre- sent New York. The Mutuals were fired out of the league at the end of one season. It was not until 1883 that Brooklyn had another profes- sional league club, when Charles H. Byrne put team in the Interstate league Tn 1884 Brooklyn was ad- mitted into the American Association and for six years was represented in that old major circuit. winning the pennant in 1889.
 In 1890 President Byrre transferred his club to the National League, re- taining Bill McGunnigle as manager, and the club which had copped the flag in the A. A. repeated in the Ma tiona1. The Dodgers did not win an- other pennant until 1899, when Ned Hanlon turned the trick. He repeated in 1900. but since then Brooklyn has been flagless.
