THE GOOD' OLD DAYS.
Two Old Gcntleiueu Got TojjctUor and Swap btorles. "Oh, yes, I played In those dayu. Baseball was baseball then," and tho old gentleman sighed over what he regarded as tho decadence of the great national game, says the Detroit Free Press. "Now they get nine men together and make a machine of them.
The whole thing is nothing more iior less than an animated mechanix:. Then we had a live ball and I used to swing a hickory bat pretty nearly as long as a rake handle. You can imagine what came off when I made a hit. The crowd would hear something like
The old gentleman turned a little white abom the mouth tout rallied with infinite generalship. "Yes, ci course you were there, and it was a day of miracles, for you went down to the river and caught a ten-pound bass that was served that night at the hotel."
What fisherman could resist such a temptation with the beautiful lie all framed for him'
Judkin flushed and inflated with pride. The i-.vn jolly rogues went out together. beiore ttie evening was over that ball had been knocked neariy a quarter of a mile into the country beyond the river and that bas was fifteen pounds strong.
BIG DOG —BIG STORY.
A Charleston
for tit#
Man Vnucli,
Truth of Tills Talo.
"I'll tell you a dog story," said a gen tleman to a Charleston News and Courier reporter recently, "that is hard to believe, and yet I give you my wordthat it ie absolutely true. Now, you doubtless remepiber that on Christmas eve there was considerable noise on the streets, firing of crackers, etc. This was, I noticed, very annoying to my big mastiff, who is kept in a small etable yard on my premises. The dog, however, was, I thought, secure, as it was confined by a high wire netting and fence. "During the evening I was obliged to go out to summon a physician on account of the illness of my little girl, and after coming back about 1.1 o'clock sat up in a dressing gown and slippers to wait for the doctor's arrival. Presently there came a long ring at the bell and then another and another. 'That's not the doctor,' said I to myself, ard, grumbling at the idea of callers on business at that hour, I went down to the door. Opening it, imagine my surprise at seeing my 100-pound mastiff standing with his feet on tho Gate-post, ringing the electric bell with his nose. It was evident that he had been reading the papers that the coachmen had left about the stable and, finding himself locked out, said to himself: 'I'll press the button and he'll do the rest.' I of course invited him in and escorted him through the house to his own quarters, where I found he had broken through the wire netting and probably gone out to investigate the Christmas bombardment, but he had forgotten the way back and so called me up."
Alluring to tho Young Oyater. William h. Marcy of Annapolis, has an oyster farm at New-Point island, Matthews county, Virginia. The farm was started about a year ago., Mr. Marcy has introduced the planting of tiles made of clay and coated with a mixture of cement, quicklime and sand, so as to give the spat something to adhere to. The tiles are concave in shape, fifteen inches long, with a width of five inches at one end and six at tho other. They are set on the bottom lengthwise with the flow and ebb of tho tide. When the oyster has developed to 'he proper siae it is, by means of the cement, scraped from the tile, and the' tile, after drying, is ready for use again at the proper season, during the last week in May and tire first week in June.—Baltimore American.
Vo Timt Diamond*.
It is well known to Jewelers that aluminum will, mark a glass or "paste" diamond, but not tho true gem, provided the surface is wet. This fact hac now been applied to the production of a mechanical tester, which consists of a small disc of aluminum, rapidly revolved by an electric motor. The stone to be tested is wetted and held against the edge of the disc by means of a spring clamp.

UNABLE TOplflNp A MATCH.
The Lovers Coall Not Toll One from Toothpick. It was dark ih' 'tiie hall, her economical parent having turned out the gas, and the late young man could not find his hat, says the St. Louis Republic. "Give me a match, dear," she whispered, and he felt with.his disengaged hand for a match, assuring her at the same time that it was impossible he could find a match for her and little imagining that he was speaking the [bitter truth. I No flame followed her feeble attempt to strike a match on the wall paper
tho shriek of a sliell and then the um- and the young man produced another.
pire would toss out a new ball while I chased two or three runs in ahead of me. Now, just to illustrate," and the retired veteran of the diamond began making a diagram while his hearers grouped about him. "Here's where we played at New Castle, Pa., with the old Neshannocks. Charley Bennett was catching. Here runs the Ohio river, way up in the rear of the grounds, which lay open to the high bluff which marks the bank. Now, Bennett was doing s.-ine mighty baiting and a fellow frc:u a college nino was giving hiin a tight race. Each one of them rolled a ball over the bluff and I began to fear for my laurels. But the third time up I saw one coming that just suited. I settled well on my feet, concentrated all my strength for one supreme effort, swung old hickory, and when the ball quit going it struck water half way across the river. Why, they stopped the game to try and take measurements, while professional managers were offering me all kinds of money. I was the hero of the hour, the king of batters, the— hello, there, Judkin delighted to si.e you. It's more than twenty years "Yes. the last time we met was at tlis game you just described."
and another, until it seemed as if hemust be a peripatetic match factory. But no glimmer of light appeared. "Those matches cannot be the kind they make in heaven," he said, am1 just then a stentorian voice from the upper story called: ".Mary Ellen! What idiot is keeping you up to this hour of the night!"
And the young man said in the dulcet tones of love's young dream that he would take the first hat ho could find and forthwith departed into the cold, hard world.
And the next morning at breakfast the old gentleman said he'd be blamed if he wanted to keep open house for a pair of idiots who didn't know the difference between a sulphur match and a toothpick.
To-mnrrow and To-morrow.
"Tomorrow," I said, "I will cleanly live But I spoke with a drunken mind "Tomorrow," I cried, "to the poor I'll give,"
As I scattered my wealth to the'wind.
But tomorrow cameand hersmiles were SNveet. And the wine was sparkling and red And my riches were rolled in a winding sneet
And the poor had to beg his bread
"Tomorrow," I cried, "I will go to Christ, For Topliet's too hot today But tomorrow came and the Styx was iced
And the devil there was to pay.
And all my good is in after-now, And the present is always here And I know how the voice of my present vow
Will sound in Tomorrow's ear.
For Tomorrow will ever a prospect be. Unborn in the future's womb, Till I see it stand in God's chancery,
My judge at the crack of doom.

AN OASIS WITH A CASINO.
Bit of I.uxury to lie Met AVilh In O.*'
Omt Sxlmru.
The Biskran oasis, with its U'IO.OOi trees, is only aliout two miles iong an.extends in half a dozen little viilag' by the Oued stream, says the Westminster Record. The Arabs, i:i thch poetic phraseology, style it various:} the "Desert Queen," the "Queen of Uie Oasis" and the "Pearl of the Des.ii.' Seen after two days' journey through barren, treeless wastes, with its waving palms and brilliant verdure, it is a sight difficult to rival. Biskra has several fine buildings, of which the town hall, built in the oriental style, with gleaming cupola and a forest of dainty pillars, is the gem. It cost £0 o00, anc is cheap at that figure, but, of course labor here is had for a song.
The Oued Biskra flows through tho oasis and causes much of its prosperity The chief industry is date raising and nearly all the inhabitants own a little plot of ground devoted to this purpose and generally their only source of revenue. Bis&ra owes much to the Compagnie de l'Oued el R'irh, whose members bored artesian wells and laid om vast date plantations. They also erected a fine casino and constructed a tramway to the celebrated Hamniam Salahine, about six miles distantsprings well known to the Romans, whence Biskra was called Ad Piscinam. In consideration of all these benefits the company was granted various privileges. The members are to enjoy for ninety-nine years the profits arising from the springs and from 300 acres ot land, besides a large town plat.
Biskra is practically the "key to the Sahara" and hence ever since the French entered in 184-1 has been an important military station. The lover oi orientalism will find it here in a much purer form than in semi-Europeanized Algiers, and can also enjoy an almost perfect climate. The district, however, is not rainless, as is often supposed or. the contrary, in winter there is a fair share of nain, though not so much as in Algiers, where this is the weak point in the climate.
Like Algiers, it is beautifully mild, there is no snow, and for the majority of the winter there is a brilliant sunshine and a very even {temperature. In the summer, however, it is almost uninhabitable. No one dreams of staying there unless military or other duty compels it. The heat is intense, the water noxious, and snakes and scorpions abound whose bite often proveB deadly in an hour. The country at this period 1b subject to plagues of grasshoppers, the lUlnation of all verdure and I produce. A very annoying malady called "clou de Biskra" prevails, -which is said to resisrcnpst treatment cxcept I change of air.
