of which had not beer seen since the
DAYS Of Jimmy Collins. No infielder
covers more ground. No other third
baseman can compare with Hejnie in
feldinc hunts or slow rollers.
And. with Il all. he is possessed OF
4 grace that recalls the Larry Laioic
Of ten years ago. For Zimmerman,
like Lajcie. is big man, and big men,
as a rule. do not appear graceful when
trey have to double up like rack
knife while travelling at top speed.
Zimmerman to-day is the best third
baseman Of the game. He is one Of
the country's five leading players. The
answer IS. harmony with his surround
iugs. His dearest ambition when he
was at his best with the Cubs was an
opportunity to play regularly at the
Polo Grounds. His temperamentsl soul
was always centred in The Bronx and
its environs. Heinie is entitled to
carry his private audience.

Love and MARRIAGE.

First love is very apt not to be the
lasting love-" said DR.. AntOinette KOni-
kow, speaking at the Boston School of
Social Science.
Young lovers try to excuse all the
faults of the loved one because they
are not in love with the individual, but
with love. Hence they may not choose
the partner with whom they will find
their happiness in later years. Many a
man and woman is glad by middle age
that the first love was frustrated.
Marriage should be based on love
alone or it is immoral, and some change
is necessary if marriage is to be saved
from degradation. Real love always
makes people better. Romantic love is
the source of all the best things in life
the foundation of all the arts. And
individual happiness makes up the hap
piness of the race."-Boston Post.

Living Icicles.

A problem of the zoologist is the en-
durance of freezing by many animals.
Collecting the records, Mile. France
and Paul PORTER, entomologists, Of
Paris find that fish have survived 8 de-
grees F., frogs 8 degrees below. mol
lusks 1874 degrees below; and bacteria
have come out alive after exposure to
300 degrees below zero. The two
French experimenters froze certain
caterpillars-Cossus coSsus-at a tenn
perature just above zero. They be-
came quite solid and brittle and could
be broken like icicles. On warming,
however, even broken ones returned to
life. Several freezings and thawings
were endured, but recovery became
slower each time and ceased after the
sixth thawing. Other genera showed
like results. There seemed to be some
physiological preparation for the cold,
for caterpillars that survived the win
ter freezing all succumbed to Similar
temperatures In the spring.

William De Marian

In spite of himself William De Nor
gan became famous. He deliberately
violated all the rules made for the
guidance of novelists who seek to be-
come popular. None of his novels was
addressed to the greater public that is
avid for the latest thing of the moment
in fiction, but nevertheless they reach
ed that public. He was a law unto
himself in the novels that he wrote
during his marvellous career that SPAN
ned only ten years. 1t is doubtful if
in English literature or in any other
can be found a writer whose life and
literary career are comparable to his.
He was an old man when the world of
readers came to know him. and his age
was an asset toward celebrity. At
seventy he was hailed as eagerly as
Kipling was hailed at twenty, and in
his way he was no less a prodigy than
the younger writer.-Bookman.

Stocking the National Parks.

The United States is carrying on
very interesting work in exchanging
the wild animals of one region for those
of others-transplant elk and deer
and Rocky mountain bighorns from
regions In the United States where
they are plentiful to others where, so
far as known, they have not lived.
Some of the animals are being shipped
long distances, says the Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
Wyoming is full of elk The herds
in the Jackson Hole country are the
largest of any of North American wild
animals since the days of the countless
buffaloes. But the big Yosemite Ma
tional park of California, with its
three-quarters of a million acres, I'M
til recently had no elk, or at least only
a very few scattered specimens. But
the elk shipped in from Wyoming have
become very much at home and are
breeding and multiplying rapidly, add
ing to the charm and picturesqueness
of this popular national playground.

The Little Oyster Crab.

The captain of a foreign ship, in port
at Baltimore, at an entertainment Civ
en- by friends was delighted with the
oysters which were on the menu. Just
before the ship sailed these friends
sent to it several barrels of these oys-
tiers as present to the captain. When
he made the trip back to this country
his friends asked him how he liked the
oysters. He said: Don't you know,
we had to throw nearly all of them
overheard. They were no good. Prac-
ticany every one of them had a live
insect ON the inside, and, knowing they
were not fit to eat, we let the whole
lot go to Davy Jones'" Investigation
showed that the insect was the little
oyster crab, which is a great delicacy,
preferred by many to the oysters them
selves, and which the epicure knows
as a sure guarantee of the quality of
the bivalve. 1t was a good joke on
those sending and the one receiving
the present, at which neither side
laughed very much.-Christian Herald

Spaniah Doubloons.

Should one find a pirates buried
treasure he would have to dispose Of
his Spanish gold at its bullion value,
for since Aug. 1, 1908, when the COM
mon crier made proclamation from the
steps of the Royal Exchange Of Lon
don that after that date the doubloon
would cease to be legal tender in the
West Indies, including British Guiana,
the doubloon has not been the precious
thing it was. In 1730 and for a cen
fury after it was worth So, more or
less. 1t has ceased to be coined in its
native country, Spain, and since 1908
1t has been unpopular In the West In
dies, where for a long time it figured
in a mixed circulation, embracing Brit
fish, United States and Spanish coins.
In the interest of romance, however,
the name at least must survive. 1t
signifies nothing more than that the
coin was double the value of pistole,
but the "doubloon" was never such
mouth filling mockery as 'pieces Of
eight" which suggests great riches,
but means only Spanish silver dollars,
pieces equivalent to eight reals.-Roch-

supplies Of ammunition, which consist
ed Of powder barrels filled with sand,

not his own. 81 have seen the letter
from Stuart thanking the true owner
