THE LAZY FIRST BASEMAN. Re Was Favored by Rain Until the Manager Drowned Him Out. The retired left fielderwas tolling the story. "Hank McGinnis , " ho said , "was the greatest first baseman 1. aver seen. Ho could play the bag outer sight when lie was a mind to , but he was we laziest man in 27 counties , and he didn't play no ball when ho could git outon it. Ho was allays turnin up with a spiked foot or a split thumb or some- thin of the kind , an ginerally made out to lay off more'n half the time. The summer we were playin in the Western league we struck a manager who was onto Hank's curves. Ho took him to one side when the season begun an tel him that ho wouldn't stand no grafts. He marked out to him that if ho didn't play every day ho would git laid off an lose his pay. Sore heels an thumbs was i barred. "Hank , bein lazier than ever that year , was considerbul stirred up about this. Ho didn't have no likin to play , but he was hot after the long green , an he kep' playin along an kickin like a bay sterr all the time. Finally ho got a couple of days' lay off an went to see his mother , so he said. ' Ho got back on time an complained of being sick , but the manager ton him t' git inter th' game or lose 20 cold plunks , an ho got in. Nei' day we couldn't play. There was a big rain. ' Jus' before the time t' call the game on the day after that they was another big rain. "An it went on like this fer a straight 30 days. It would allays rain jus' before - fore the game , whether wo was home or away. Hank he got fat loafin around an was on first rate terms with hisself. Finally the manager had to let out some of the men to reduce expense , an Hank got the run Then the rains stopped. Now , what do you think that man done so's he could git his money without workin ? Seems he knew somethin about rainmakin , an when he took that trip home he got his chemicals together an didn't do a thing but make rain every ' before the .

There is in one of the departments in Washington an old maid whom I call St. Murphy , not because she is so saintlike in appearance , for my saint has a jolly face , and in that woman , whose hair is sprinkled with gray and upon whose cheeks the roses of youth have ceased to bloom , I see a beauty that leaves nothing to be desired. She comes into the dining room accompanied - companied by a little girl and boy. My woman's eye soon detects something a little out of the usual. The children look too young to be hers , so I make inquiries - quiries and find that they are hers by adoption. She found these children with a dying mother , whom she made happy by promising to care for them. How faithfully she is keeping her promise ! She has taken them to her heart. They show , as children always do , that they ( have not only food and clothes , but love , and plenty of it. Do you wonder tha. I call her saint ? Here is that woman , at the age when women soonest tire , going daily to her work , no matter what the weather , cold or rain , denying herself that she may make these children com- fortable. When I see her in the evening , weary from her day's work , but her dear old face beaming with love , I say to myself , "There is a woman who has won heaven , and I am glad to have known her , " and I murmur , "God bless yon , Miss Murphy -Harriette P. Crabbe in Minneapolis Housekeeper. Chemical Reaction. A French chemist has lately made some investigations in a field nothither- to so thoroughly explored as many others - ers , and from them he draws the con- elnsion that chemical reaction cahh.ot occur between 125 degrees and 150 ne- grees. Sulphuric acid and ammoiia will not react at 80 degrees , while at 00 to 65 degrees the action is sud&n and violent. Neither caustic soda nor caustic potash can be made to unite with the same acid below 125 degrees C. nor with carbonates below 80 degrees. With the latter , brisk effervescence sets in about 30 degrees. If nitric instead of sulphuric acid is used in such experiments - ments , the temperature where reaction begins seems to be lowered in every case.-New York Sun. A Cremation. Mrs. Alice N. Lincoln thus describes her feelings while watching a cremation - tion : "As we stood in silence watching the rosy glow which played over " ' ite - surface of the retort a i . . . to 1 Is of awe certainly , Y .t also e : r' ace and rest.

M FELL INTO MILLIONS. 117he Slip or rn Horse Resulted In the Rider Dh covering a Great Mine. One of the most productive minas in California was discovered through an accidental fall of the discoverer. He was ono of a hunting party that had gone out from San Francisco during the Christmas holidays. While passing alohrg the side of a steep hill on a narrow - row trail his horse suddeuly slipped , and with his rider went down into the gulch. Happening to be the last in the line ' and some distance behind the others , be was blot missed for some moments , but when his absence was noticed the party turned back to look for him , fearing some untoward accident. Ho was nowhere - where to be seen , but the place where his horse had slipped and fallen over i the bank , together with the traces of the fall , was plainly visible. Fallowing 1 the tracks made by the falling horse and man , and when near the bottom , the men suddenly came upon an interesting spectacle. Just behind a clump of bushes which the man and his steed had crashed through on their way down stood the horse , apparently uninjured , while near by , on a slab of rock projecting - jecting from the snow , the man was capering like an Indian at a ghost dance. The first impression of the rescuing party was that the man had gone suddenly - denly crazy , but as lie caught sight of them he suddenly ceased his gyrations and shouted for them to approach. They came , when lie showed them several lumps of almost pure gold ho lead hastily - tily knocked from the edge with a stone for a hammer and announced his discovery - covery of a gold mine. The sliding horse had brought up against the ledge , and the restive animal , kicking vigorously - ously in the efforts to rise , had struck off the moss from the stone : aid disclosed - closed the fact that it was a gold bearing - ing ledge of unusual riclmess. The find was appropriately named "The Christmas - mas Gift , " and avaluablegiftitproved to be.-Chicago Times. KYRLE BELLEW'S VANITY. how It Was Once Sadly Disconcerted byan American Girl. There had been lively discussions some years ago over a then seemingly important question theatrically , and indeed - deed socially , "Was or was not Kyrle Bellew possessed of great vanity ? " I believe the matter has never been definitely settled , though in an individual - ual instance I recall it would seem there was valid ground for a decision in the affirmative. : The occasion was an informal "even- ing" at Mrs. Lester Wallack's. and gathered about one of the tables were two or three young ladies , Mr. Bollew. and other men. Bellew had some bits of paper in his hands , from which he was idly fashioning little boats. "I hair , " he drawled , addressing no one in particular - ticular , "that your American navy is badly in need of ships. I propose to remedy the trouble by presenting you with a few. " One girl spoke up quickly in slightly sarcastic vein , "I am sure we all render sincere thanks in the name of the American navy. " The actor favored her by an especially comprehensive glance , and finishing his boat penciled a few lines on it and rather patronizingly tossed it over to her. her.The The girl picked the boat up slowly ( this was the first occasion she had met i Mr. Bellew ) and read : "My love to you. Kyrle Bellew. " A rather vivid flush overspread her face , but looking the young man steadily in the eyes she said in tones sufficiently clear for comprehension - hension , "The sentiment inscribed here indicating the paper boat ) is surely too much oP an honor for any one woman to aspire to ; so , with your permission , Mr. Bellew , I will take it home , raffle it and-send you the proceeds. " She then rose , bowed and left the table , at 1 the same time leaving Mr. Bellow sufficiently - ciently disconcerted to bite his lips and permit his brow the shadow of a frown. -New York Herald. A Unique Affidavit. The following affidavit was filed in court of common pleas in Dublin in 1822 : "And this deponent further saith that , on arriving at the house of the said defendant , situate in the county of Galway aforesaid , for the purpose of personally serving him with the said writ , he , the said deponent , knocked hero several times at the outer , commonly - monly called the hall door , but con1d not obtain admittance , whereupon this deponent was proceeding to knock a fourth time , when a man , to this deponent - nent unknown , holding in his hands a musket , or blunderbuss , loaded with balls or slugs , as this deponent has since heard and verily believes , appeared at rene ono of the upper windows of the said 1 f house , and presenting said musket , or t blunderbuss , at this deImn'mt , threatened - ed 'ghat if said deponent ( lid not instantly - stantly retire he would send his ( the dee ponent's ) soul to hell , ' which this deponent - 5. t ponent verily believes he would have j , lone had not this deponent precipitately - c ly escaped.San Francisco Argonaut A Calendar Curiosity.
