Heath, in Good Housekeeping n, The Birth of Baseball. Forty-eight years ago Tuesday, June 19th, the first match game of baseball was played. This pioneer game took place at Hoboken, N. J., and the score was so big that the man who was keeping tally gave it up after the first inning and refused to look upon anything less than five runs in succession as worth consider ing. The glorious game of baseball grew out of the old game of rounders, an English idea. In the fall of 1845 a number of New Yorkers organized a club which they called " The Knickerbockers. " Later, a club called "The New Yorkers' was put into the field, and early in June, 1846, the two began to challenge each other. On June 19 the first game was played. History says that it lasted but four in nings, when the Knickerbockers were so far ahead that the other fellows went home and wouldn't play any more. Baseball grew slowly. It was not until 1860 that it became in any degree popu lar. In that year a number of clubs were organized, and in Philadelphia several really interesting games were played. Up to this time a rubber ball was used, but so much time was lost in going over into the next county for it after every hit that a harder and less energetic ball was devised. This reduced the time of the game and increased the size of the bumps on the catchers' hands. Up to 1871 ball playing was indulged in as an amateur sport, but in that year it began to take rank as professional. Since then we have heard more about the troubles of managers and of releases and signings than of the actual game. In spite ot all sorts of dire predictions, baseball continues to be popular. There is no indication that it will soon cease to be the recognized game of the nation. ist. Louis Hepublic. Notice Sale of Land Under Exe cution.

The extenaive preralenc f tuber culosis among: aainabi throughout the civilized world, makes it a scourge, a disease that deserves dose study and the enforcement of measures for its suppres sion and preTsation, The more dreaded diseases of ths human family that occa sionally have an outbreak, claim but few victims as compared . with those from tuberculosis, for the reason that measures of precaution ars at once taken to arrest the spread of the disease. Tuberculosis has . been classed as a "pestilence that walketh in darkness' deaths from this disease being so con stant and uniform that they are accepted as inevitable, so far arthe human family is concerned. It is stated that compared with tuberculosis mortality, all the deaths from waviacaiae, plague, cholera, yellow fever and smallpox are very iasigficant, and yet tuberculosis, like every class of germ diseases, is absolutely preventable, and results from criminal indifference. Tuberculosis holds sway over, many genera of animals, cattle being the more susceptible to the disease of any of the domesticated animals. In some sections of Europe tuberculosis prevails to the extent of from 20 per cent, to 70 per cent. In herds of cattle in New York, consisting largely oi mature cows, the disease has been known to attain a maximum of 98 per cent., and it is in this fact that the danger of spreading among the human family lies. In considering the matter of using the meat and milk of tuberculous animals for food, there arises .two questions, that of infection by the use of food products and by the poisoning by the pernieious pro ducts of the disease germ. The intimate relation of "cattle to man becomes a potent agent in the extension and maintenance of the disease in the human family. While muscle in beef is .somewhat antagonistic to the growth of the bacillus tuberculosis, it is not always free from it, and so may be conveyed in beef ; but more danger is , to be apprehended from the use of milk,-so with the prevalence of diseased animals there is, in faot, great danger of in the use of .the food products. Up to a recent date there has been no thought of any effects from secondary causes arising from the presence of the disease. Enough is now known to war rant the taking of strong measures tor the suppression of the tuberculosis in. animals to the end of diminishing the chances of encouraging the disease in the human family. southern Cultivator. The novel method of construction resorted to in the case of the tunnel under the St. Clair Biver at Port Huron has at traoted considerable attention. Under the river itself the tunnel is about 2,300 feet, and the total length, inoluding approaches, will be nearly 1Z,00U teet. The work of excavating and building is by means of specially devised machinery, and has been pushed at the rate of fifteen to twenty feet per day from eaoh side, the whole of the work being completed as it goes on, the plan or form being that of an iron cylinder, the only one ever constructed of this material, no brick or stone being used. The method ot construction in volves the employment of a huge cylin der weighing more than sixty tons, twenty feet in diameter, and sixteen feet long, driven into the blue clay, which constitutes the entire bottom ot the river, by the use of hydraulic power all this being accomplished with the same facility that characterizes the carving of cakes of soap out of a general mass. ' Inside the cylinder, which is known as a shield, men are engaged in removing the dirt, and, as fast as the shield is pushed for ward, which may be about two feet at a time, the clay thus brought inside the shield is dug out to the edge of the great cylinder. Then the hydraulio jacks are again started, and slowly but irresistibly, the immense iron tube moy.es another two feet into the solid earth ahead of it ' Each jack has a power of 3,000 tons, and the entire power behind the shields is more than 40,000 tons. The tunnel will prac tically be a continuous iron tube twenty feet in diameter and nearly 7,000 feet long. A Household Treasure. D. W. Fuller, of Canajoharie. N.

A great deal is said about reforming our young men. would it not be better to sow the seeds of righteousness in their hearts while they are children and more susceptible to the truth ? Some ittie girls, six or seven years of age. were playing under my window. A gentle man was passing and one girl said, "That man lied to me one day." "Did he r said the other. "Yes, I' called him a son of a gun one day,- as he was going by, and ae said, 'I'll tell your father,' and he never even dared to tell ; him. Wasn't that a lie?" A little girl used such vul- rar language at a neighbor's that the adv sent her homo, fearing to have her children hear such talk. The mothers of both these children are Christians, but have failed to heed the voice of Solomon, who said, "train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." These . children are dressed and fed in the morning and . i , .t . . -' turned ioobo in tne street, jusi as a man turns bis cattle out to pasture, for the day. Then these mothers, who are seal ous of good works, are at liberty to go to prayer or missionary meetings or make arrangements for sociables unconscious that the evil one is improving his time sowing seeds ot sin and uncleanness in the hearts of their children which will forever mar the beauty and simplicity of tneir uvea. one x am in iavor tu au the means of good which these mothers are interested in, I still feel that a mother's duty begins in the home, with her little ones. We can not begin too soon to instruct them in the right path. Nevor tell a child anything you do not intend to do ; and should something pre vent you from keeping your word, ex. plain to them the reason, so they will trust you. Many a child has learned to be deceitful by being deceived by their elders. A child whose mind is filled with mre, joyful thoughts will have no desire or the cruel sports which Ellen Goodell Smith speaks of. Alvarctta. The Chameleon Spider. "It has always been a hobby of mine," said T. L. Grimshaw of Raleigh, N. C, to collect strange bugs and insects dur ing my travels, and I think I have suc ceeded in getting together a pretty choice collection, ut the wnole assortment 1 think the chameleon spider, which I got last summer on the coast of Africa, is the most valuable. The capture of this insect was highly interesting to me. One after noon, while tramping along a dusty road, I noticed in the bushes which grew along the side what appeared to be a singular looking white flower with a blue centre. Stopping to examine it I found to my astonishment that it was not a flower at all, but a spider's web, and that the sup posed light blue heart of the flower was the spider itself,, lying in wait for its prey. The mottled brown legs of the spider were extended in such a way as to resemble the divisions between the petals of a flower. "The web itself, very delicately woven into a rosette pattern, was white, and the threads that suspended it from the bushes were so fine as to be almost invisible. The whole thing had the appearance of being suspended In the air upon a stem concealed beneath, upon knocking the spider from his perch into the white gauze net which I carried, my surprise was greatly increased upon seeing my oaptive instantly turn in color from blue to white. I shook the net, and again the spider changed color, this time its body becoming a dull greenish brown. As often as l would shake the net just so often would the spider change its color, and I kept it up until it had assumed about every hue of the rainbow." St. Louis Globe Democrat. Needle in a Bull's Heart 8trange Cause of Death in the Case of s Famous Jersey. Dr. Lyons, of New Britain, lost his famous Jersey bull, Brookside Chief, by death recently, says a Hartford telegram, and the cause of the animal's taking off was most remarkable unparalled, per haps, except in a single instance, in whioh another of Dr. Lyon's thorough breds died in about exactly the same way. Brookside Chief had been ill in a strange way, and no one was able to divine what was the matter with him. An autopsy revealed the tact that his heart was pierced by a long, sharp, stout needle. The needle was one of the kind used in sewing bran saoks, and, obviously, it had been left by a careless needle woman in a sack that had been sold to Dr. Lyons with bran. Accidentally, of course, it had been fed to the bull in a measure of bran, and by equally ourious ill luck a mischance not likely to come to pass once in a thousand times the bull licked up the deadly little instrument with his bran. Then the needle started on its long and roundabout errand of death. The post-mortem examination showed that it had slowly bored its way through the walls of the animal's stomach, jour neyed on through the pericardium and pierced his heart. It is plain that the needle had been lodged in the big fel low's hear: for some time before death, since it had caused an abcess there. Still stranger is it that not three months ago a valuable cow belonging to the Doctor swallowed a bran sack needle in precisely the same way, but it lodged in her throat. Nevertheless it caused her death, and the Doctor dislodged it from its cyst there when he performed an autopsy on her body. tST" The height of mountains on the moon can be measured by the shadows they cast on tho plains.

V U The most remarkable ease - of jury " standing out' against what seemed ir refutable testimony, and all through the resolution of one man, occurred before ! Chief Justice Dyer. He presided at a murder trial in which everything went against the . prisoner, who on his part could only say that on his going to work ' in the morning he had found th our-! dered man dying, and tried to help bits, ' whereby no had become covered with blood ; but when the man presently died, be bad come away and said : nothing about it, because he was known to have had a quarrel with the deceased; and eared he might get into trouble. . The hay fork with which the man had been' murdered had the prisoner's.name on ft. In other respects, his guilt ; appeared to w wmiuiuubu, aou uoqvain justice was convinced of it. hut the iurv retnrnad a verdict of not guilty. - lhis was Ubiet Justice Dyers case, and he put some very searching questions to the High Sheriff. The cause of the acquittal, said ' the ofScial, was un. doubtedly the foreman, a farmer of ex cellent character, esteemed bv all his neighbors and very unlikely. to be obsti nate or vexatious. " Then " said the J udge, " I must see. this foreman, for an explanation of the matter I will have.? The foreman came, and after extracting irom ms lorasnip a promise oi secrecy. proved at onoe that the prisoner had been rightfully acquitted, "for,", said he, "it was I myself who killed the man." It bad been no murder, for the other had attacked him with the hayfork, and (as he showed) severely injured him, but in tne struggle to get possession of the weapon he had the misfortune to give the man a fatal wound. He had no fears as to his being found guilty, but, the assizes being just over, bis farm and affairs would have been ruined by a con fession, through lying in jail so long, so be suffered matters to take their course. He was horrified to find one of his own servants accused of the murder ; he sup ported bis wife and children while in jail; managed to be placed on the jury. and elected foreman. He added that it he had failed in this he would certainly have confessed to his own share in the business, and the Judge believed him.

The recipe herewith given is warranted by The Bak ers' Helper to be the best : Beat very stiff and dry 10 whites of eggs Tone half pint), sift together twice. a half pound of powdered sugar, S ounces ot pastry flour, an even teaspoonful ol cream tartar. Add all this to the eggs, stirring very gently with wooden spatula. Sprinkle a half teaspoonful of vanilla powder to it and fill in the regular angel food tins, soak these molds in coal water always before using. Fill while wetjust rinse them out and when baked tarn molds upside down. Never grease or line the molds with paper, Just have them wet, and the cakes will fall out when cold, as white as snow, all the crust sticking to the mold. Frost very thin and give icing a very delicate navor, or just a little lemon juice or maraschino. The Family Goat. The goat as a milk producer is hardly appreciated in this country. But in the old world the family goat is only less es teemed then the family cow. The milk is considered better than that from Jersey cows for culinary purposes. There is, moreover, one great advan tage in goat keeping over cows. It is this that a cow usually provides a mucb larger quantity of milk than can be util ized in its natural state in the household, the consequence being that either a por tion must be converted into butter so many times a week, necessitating labor which is not always profitable and fre quently unsatisfactory in its results, or some ot the milk has to be sold, entailing other inconveniences. With a goat, on the contrary, this diffi culty can never arise. A good specimen will generally provide a small household with enough milk for general use during eight months of the year. Were the plan once started no doubt many American village dwellers who cannot afford to keep a cow wonld find that a milk . goat would answer the purpose fairly well. Goats will consume leaves and rough forage that cows will not touch, and they are sure to get a good living so long as any digestible material is within their reach. 6. C. Hill in Massachusetts Plough. PET" If a man were to give another an orange he would merely say, "1 give you this orange," but when the trans action is entrusted to the bands of lawyer to be put in writing, he adopts this form: "1 hereby give, grant and con vey to you all and singular my estate and interest, right, title, claim and ad vantage of and in said orange, together with all its rind, pulp, and pipe therein, with full power to bite, cut, suck and otherwise eat the same, or give the same away, as fully and effectually as I, the said A B, am now entitled to bite,out,suck or otherwise eat or give the same away, with or without its rind, skin, juice, or pulp, anything herein before or herein after or in other deed or deeds, instru ment or instruments of what nature or kind soever to the contrary in any wise notwithstanding." As we understand the object of law reform U is to make the lawyers say only "I give yon this orange." Mr. Patteson will, therefore, piease pass the orange this way.

World's Dispensary Medical Association, 663 Main: Street. ..Buffalo, How sft Clsll Crabs ara CaughV Raised tad 8nitHars:et-:7i-; One - of the industries of i Southern Long Island ocean shore, is the business of raising and 'sending . to' market the soft shell crab.. From , April to November there.) are scores of small skiffs, each carrying av man : who1 msnceuvres -his craft with one hand, while in the other he carries' a dip net.

' atansiROASA9t7SIRXS8.il . "With me and a dozen other men along the south ahore crabbing is the most mportani work of the year,rf Last , year I sold 8.C00 dozen soft shell crabs , at an average of one dollar a dozen, i The com mon way of .catching soft shell crabs nas been to pole over .the cats at tow tide ana scoop the crab -. wherever seen.. But this method is slow and uncertain- torn pared with. keeping the crabs in confine ment nnul tbey Shed.-. . . . X get my crabs from, the . men who make sy. business of 'catching hard-shell crabs for-market, -Thess .men are the eelers of the early summer, for crab bing they stretch a Ions line in the water sometimes for half a mile, between two poles or buoys, at intervals of a few feet ; it is baited f with bits . of salted eel. The crabber sails along this line which is raised from the bottom;' by . means of a hook fastened to the side of the boat ' and scoops in the crabs with a net. If the catch is fair be will fill four lime barrels in eight hours work on the bay, and his net returns will vary from 30 cents to 2 a barrel, according to the demand.' Out of this four 'barrels of hard crabs each man may get from 1 one ' or two. ' dozen crabs that will soon shed their shells, and these he turns over to me' at' twenty five cents a dozen. "As my Crabs come in they are sorted and placed in one of the big csrs you see in the creek there. I take no crab that is not within ten days of shedding, bt cause while in the 'csTrs the crabs refuse all ordinary food and grew thin. I have the crabs graded intb six cars.' In the first are those that will Shed inside or iweivt hours ; then those that will ' shed inide of twenty-four boars and. so 1 on. The crab that is going to shed will ' eat only one thing so far. as I know and that is just what 1 can't afford to give hima soft shell crab. That is the reason l have to grade them so carefully. If a crab sheds in a car containing crabs that will not Shed for several days, the unior tunate will be set upon and devoured at once by the other crabs. There is ' no mercy among them. "The way in which we tell a crab about to shed can scarcely be described, the signs vary so much"; but as a rule it is by the color of the breast-plate and the creases in the points of the big claw. There is one infallible way of knowing you have a shedder whenever you find one crab carrying another. In this case the smaller crab is always a female, or as we call It a 'oow' sbedder; the big crab is a male that will carry the shedder around and protect it from attack during its period of helplessness. This is one of the most curious phases of crab life ; but I have watched this incident too often to doubt its truth. A crab sheds four or five times during its- life once every year. When it reaohes the last stage before shedding its shell, say within twelve hours, it becomes torpid ; then it is safe to leave the crabs in that state - all together. ,The new crab is one-third larger than the shell be leaves. "If left in water, a soft shell becomes hard within twenty-four hours. If the crabs are intended for home consumption I take them out of the water as soon as they have shed, but if they are to go any distance, I leave them in for several hours so as to make the skin teugh enough to stand transportation. As to the time a crab should be boiled expert opinions vary from five minutes to half an hour. After many experiments, I am inclined to think that half an hour's boiling does no harm. If the. pail of crabs is lifted to the edge of the pot of boiling water -and slightly- tilted, the crabs will walk to their doom upon hear ing the bubble of the water. It is pleas ant to think that. the crab' last impresv sions may have been u tiolaction to him ; the gargle of watei - in- his ears as he takes the plunge, aiu before he discovers that he is not in the great South Bay all things are indifferent to him. The change in color from 'dark green and blue to cardinal red takes place the moment the crab touches the boiling water, so that color does loot indicate thorough cooking. Crabs' in 'market are so often cooked in order that; they may keep better that it is no wonder some peo- Ele imagine that the crab :gef '.through fe in scarlet coat.
