Sehiff, the Wall street banker, ays: "To blame the federal adminis tration for the difficulties" in which we find ourselves is both thoughtless and unjust. Europe in a similar position lias been unable to extend us any considerable credit." Soon we shall bear someone putting the blame where it belongs. According to a statement issued by Treasurer Charles IT. Wishart of the In tercity AtJiletiu association, the associa tion owes .$1,743.54 on the past base ball season. This deficit is due to several causes, the weather being one and the constant dropping out of teams from the league another.

The porch bens fill the piaza chairs, And read and embroider and knit ; -From morn to night they never desert The comfortable pot where they sit. They watch the stage and the office door, And the bay where the seagull flock, And nothing bullies their searchlight gaze As they gossip and ris k and rock. I'm the only girl that's alive in the place. And there's but one possible man, .So I flirt with him quite outrageously Whenever I publielv can; For the porch hens' lives are arid and dull. And they pine for some pleasant shock, So I give them something to talk about, As they gossip and rock and risk. He's the dullest -man on the coast of Maine, And he bores me until I ache, But I sacrifice my feelings to keep Those poor old ladies awake; , I sit with him out on the moonlit pier Till the dampness ruins my frock, While they spy and thrill with scandal ized glee, Aa they gossip and rock and rock. And when, sometime in the early fall, The man that 1 care for arrives, Such proof of my arrant duplicity Will give them the time of their lives.

Tipcat, shuttlecock and top spinning are the employment of modifications of the sphere, and archery Is but another method of propulsion. It la a strange limitation of form, aud there must lie a renson. Those who delve Into origins may ascribe the whole motive of sporta to some long armed, hirsute ancestor who first threw a pebble nt a fellow cave dwell er nnd found It great fun. Or it tuny lie poor mortal' attempt to get In n small fashion Into the tre mendous jclienie of the universe, wblcU is the everlasting movement of the spheres, Or It may be tbnt sports are framed In Inevitable obedience to Rome Irresistible law of nature. At any rate the fact Is sports nre based ou tho propulsion of the sphere, nnd some ono ought to find a reason therefor. New York American. Wych Hazel, Not Witch Hazal. The correct name for Ilnmnnielis vlr ginlca la not witch hazel, but wych hnael. Our plant baa no connection wlt.ii the magic of the wnter hunter. The blackthorn of England, I'runus pplnosa, was the wood used In these dlvlnntions, or whatever these super stitious practices mny be termed. Ha zel had a very wldo meaning In the olden times, and the elm as well ns the nut now known ns such was hazel. One of these olnia, novr known ns VI mus montann, was the favorite wood for making wyches, or provision chests, nud was therefore known as the wych bawl. In the present day It is the wych elm. Our haiuamells. re eelved from the early settlers tbenume of wych hazel from the resemblance of the leaves to those of the wych ha zel or elm of the old world. Language reformers Imagining that wyeb should be spelled w itch are responsible for the confusion. Wych hazel Is tho correct term for our plant. Whers tha Dlfferenea Lay. .

They weighed about 1.(55 pounds apiece. Tbelr w!ugs were five Inches wide and bad a spread of four feet The ability of the petrel to breast the most furious storms has been universally ad mired Its name U derived from Its pow er of walking on tbe waves, like the apos tle Peter, and Ms courage nnd strength In planting its footsteps on tho crests of the most tempestuous sea have given a text to many writers. The naturalist, wishing to release bis captive petrels, threw one of tbem Into tbe air. It tried to fly, but fell headlong, went crashing against a stone wall nnd bat tered out Its brains. He took the sec ond petrel to an upper story and launched It from a Window; but, hav ing no Initial Velocity, It, too, fell like a stone. The third bird be took to the top of an observatory nnd pushed It out Into space..; It flapped Its, wlngta desperately, but nevertheless lunged downward and broke Its wings against a post The naturalist was now convinced that the stormy petrel's feats at sea are made possible because it first gets up momentum by running along the top of the water. Wishing to give the re maining bird a, chance to demonstrate his theory, be took it oiit Into a desert like plain bare of grass, Binootb ns tbe surface of a calm sea. "Here," tbe nat uralist reports,. I set my fourth petrel down. It squatted at first and then turned With its beak to the wlndand Its wings outstretched and started rim ing, beating ita winga, net hampered by any herbage. It rati a hundred yards, carrying Its weight less aud less on Its feet and finally all on Its wings, but all the time skimming the ground. At last with a single bound, catching the wind, the petrel rose sixty feet, ca reened around and flew past me over head aud glanced at me on Its way. as If to say, 'Success in flight Is all based uj.Kn momentum.'

On of the repulsive features of the laws under which the Natchez Indians were governed was thnt when a mem ber of tbe royar family of the nation died It was necessary that several oth ers of the people should accompany him to the tomb by suffering death at the hands of executioners. When tbe "great buu," the hereditary chief of the whole nation, died, all bis wives. In case be were provided with more than one, and also several of his subjects were obliged to follow him Into the vale of shadows. The "little suns," secondary chiefs, and also members of the royal faaiily likewise claimed when dying tbelr tribute of death from the living. In addition to this, the Inex orable law also condemned to death any man of the' Natchec race who had married a girl of the royal line of the "suns." On the occasion of her death he was called upon to accompany berv "I will narrate to you upon this sub ject," writes an old Trench chronicler of Louisiana, "tbe story of an Indian who was not In a humor to submit to this law. Ills name was Etteacteal. He had contracted an alliance with the 'suns. The honor came near having a fatal result for him. His wife fell sick, and as soon as he perceived that she was approaching her end he took to flight, embarking In a pirogue ou tbe Mississippi, aud sought a reCuge In New Orleans, lie placed himself un der the protection of tbe governor, who was at that time M. do Bienville, offer ing himself to be the governor's hunt er. The governor accepted bis services and Interested himself In his behalf with the Natchez, who declared in an swer that be bad nothing to fear, Inas much as the ceremony was over, and as he had not been present when it took place be was no longer available as a caudldoto for elocution." Leva Me, Love My Dog. A curious Incident, Involving a young and good looking Frenchwotoau and her dog, occurred recently on a con tinental rallwny. For several hours the yeung woman bestowed more at tention and tender care upon the pret ty little creature than the majority of women do upon their firstborn, and at every station ft was taken out for exercise, and between stations it was fed with dainty nibbles t"' on from its special bnsknt, which also con talned extra wraps, fresh shoes nnd a gay collnr with a huge bow. What attracted most attention .was, how ever, the purchasing of a bottle of mineral water, the taking out of a tiny folding traveling cup, Into which some of the water was poured, and tho lapping of it up by the pet Les lie's Weekly.
