Blow tho Steam Aside.

The wise woman sent a sudden vlgor- ous puff of breath at the jet of steam rising from the copper teakettle she was tilting, repeated t hastily as she filled the blue teapot and set the kettle back On the stove with a nod of tri- umph. That trick has saved me many a scalded hand" she asserted. "Wheth- CT l read it or was told 1t am not sure, but until I tried it I was always getting most painful little burns. Steam is so easily blown aside if you have the presence of mind 10 remember it that you can easily keep it from reaching your hand until you can set down the kettle or pot. Don't forget it next time the lid slips or the steam comes unex. pectedly from the kettle spout. You will bless me for the hint. New York Tribune.

Burlington.


After the city having been nearly
cleared from cases of infantile paraly
sis, one new case has developed or
West Pearl street at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Benjamin Goodher. The
sufferer is lad of seven and has been
particularly active until last week
when he appeared to be suffering from
an attack of malaria. A physician
has been attending the case and pro
nounced it paralysis. The present case
makes the third in this city since the
disease started and the usual precau.
tionary measures have been taken by
strict quarantine being kept at the
house.
William Riker, better known to
many as "Uncle Diddy," who foul
weeks ago was afflicted with paralytiC
stroke while working in the rear of his
sisters home, Mrs. Alexander Bartlett
passed quietly away in about ten min
utes after the noon hour. Mr.. Rikel
never fally recovered consciousness
and was unable to take nourishmen-
for the last week, peacefully sleeping
his life away. He was in his 69th
year.
Edward, the eleven-year-old son o
Mr.. and Mrs. John Lord, of West
Broad street, is confined to his home

Forbes was of his usual gait and could
not locate the plate with his usual &C.
curacy. He kept McCue working and
it was probably the hardest days labor
the catcher has put in during the sea-
son.
F. Foulks was new player and he
was put at shortstop. He is good
player and handled FIVE out of seven
chances in good shape, but made two
bad errors, both of which resulted in
runs.
Fourth street will be here next Satur
day. This is the club which played s
game OF IL innings here a few weeks
ago. This will be good game.
Mount Holly will go to Toms River
Thursday to play the second game al
that place.
Moorestown was defeated at Toms
River, on Wednesday, 4 to 0. Chance
occupied the box for Moorestown; Mas
terson played at third, and Worrel
and Vaughn, of the Lumberton team
were in the outfield. Inability to hi
Toms Rivers pitcher, Holmes, caused
the visitors downfall, only singles be
! ing obtained. Toms River got hit
off Chance and his mates made
errors.

Base Ball.

The score shows that Mount Holly
won the game Of ball which was play
ed here on Saturday with Delanco, but
it is still question whether Delanco
was not the actual winner. In the
practice Delanco did not show up very
well and the spectators thought
Mount Holly would have Galkover,
but that idea was soon dispelled. In
the first inning Lawrie Gillian drew a
base on balls and went to second when
McCue reached first on an error.
Masterson struck out and j. Foulks
got o hit. This filled the bases.
Beaudry was the next batter and the
umpire called strike on him which
did not suit Beaudry and he threw
down his bat in disgust and then left
the home plate to pick up the stick.
Thinking to pull over trick, Jimmy
Greenwald, who was catching for De-
lance, motioned to his pitcher to send
in q quick ball. This was done but
the ball went wide and the umpire
called ball, which forced in a run.
Then Greenwald entered protest that
the decision was not justified, but it
was no go, and the run was scored.
There was q fareup in this inning
when Shinn gave decision on first
base which would have given Mount
Holly another run but there was such
kick that manager Perinchief allow
ed the ruling to be reversed.
In the third inning Delanco scored a
run. In the fourth Hubbs struck out
and Pennington got a hit. Jimmy
Greenwald landed on one that just
suited him. 1t went to the cornfield
and before it could be returned Green
valid had sent Pennington home and
completed the circuit himself. Jimmy
was quite hero for the time being but
he played his star game right then and
there. He threw miserably to second
and one time the ball struck the
pitcher in the back and landed in the
field. The SCORE was three to one in
favor OF Delanco until the eighth inn
ing when McCue went out on fly.
Masterson and J. Foulks drew bases on
balls, Jack Gillian sent nice one to
right field on which Jersey and Foulks
scored, Gillian coming later on hit
by Morgan.
This made the score four to three and
it looked as if it was all over, but in
the ninth inning f. Foulks dropped
whatlooked like aneasy fly, and PEN
nington was safe on first. He made
second on a sacrifice by Greenwald,
going to third on Stickle's out at first,
and scoring on Lovell's hit. The score
was tied and everybody was on edge
when the tenth inning began. Quigg
was the first man up for Delanco and
he went out on fly. Ritter got hit,
and Titus out on a fly. Hubbs got
hit and Forbes made wild pitch, the
third one in the game. There were
two men on bases and things looked
little blue when Lawrie Gillian ended
the suspense by catching ball sent to
him by Pennington. Then Mount
Holly went to bat. McCue out on a
fly, Masterson struck outand ]. Foulks
landed on first through an error of
Ellis. Beaudry was the next man to
bat and he sent one to the cornfield
which allowed Foulks to score and the
game was won.
The score:

to ma the mixture black, but not
enoug thicken it much. After sand

coats varnish. sandpapering lightly
after each coat. Over this put one
