WHIMS OF THE THE WICKETS [SUPERSTITIONS ATTACHED TO ENGLAND'S NATIONAL GAME. Things Which Batsmen Consider | | Leg Pads. - Every game has its superstitions, | {and cricket is no exception. Some | | are common to almost all cricketers, {others are the special property of in- | | dividuals or clubs. Most batsmen consider a "let-off" | at the beginning of an innings a lucky omen, and facts certainly bear out this idea. One of the oddest sec ond chances a man ever had once fell to the lot of C. G. T. Studd. It | was in 1881, and the match was, we believe Cambri University M. C OC. went in was bowled for a Stag Two more wickets fell for a very few runs, and then someone discovered that the pitch was four feet too short! So the match was begun all over again, and this time Studd took root, and made 70 not out. The great batsman Wenham, who has been forgotten by the present generation, once had a similar ex- { perience. The third or fourth ball passed clean through his stumps without removing a bail. How this happened is somewhai of a mystery, but we have the incident on g authority. Being bowled, yet not out, have encouraged Wenham, Tor Ee we to work and whacked up the nice little score of 139. Where will you find a batsmen who put his pads on before the last moment? Very few of our county cracks are ever to be seen "sitting waiting to go in with their pads strapped ready on their legs. To do so i8, in the opinion of nine players out of ten, to court disaster. "W.G." tells a story of an old Gloucestershire {player -- a fine batsman -- whom he imself induced to "pad" early. The Bi fellow sat waiting for more than ii hours to go in, and when his turn at last arrived he was clean bowled first ball. Ton Emmett, Rich- ard Daft, and many other giants of the game, may be quoted as firm be- lievers in the pad superstition. Lots of men have favorite bats, and the firmest possible belief in the ef- ficacy of one special bat. Mr. F. 8. Jackson used for years to play with a most scandalous-looking old coat patched and pegged in every diree- tion. It was not, of course, that the famous Yorkshire player could not af- ford a new one, but merely that he had an intense belief in the run-get- ting powers of this ancient crock. Poor old bat! It disappeared from the cricket-field some years ago, but no doubt its grateful owner still treas- | ures it as a memento of many big scores. | No one ever saw "W. G." using any- thing but a dark-colored bat. Prob- ably he cannot himself explain his preference, bu! there it is. He al- ways buys dark-colored bats. If the doctor fails to score with a new bat the first time he usds it, he usually lay= it aside and purchases another. Probably Bobby Abel's lucky cap is the best-known mascot on any crick- et ground. This ancient and weather worn headgear has been seen on countless dricket fields, and has usu- ally a banner of victory for the team for which the "Gov"nor'" was playing. Peel was another great cricketer who had a cap superstition. He invariably began bowling with his cap on, but after the first ball or (wo; pulled it off, and for the rest of the time bowled bare-headed. A LIVING LAMP POST. How Two Devonshire Villages Re- ceived Quaint Names. In the quaint little village of Ab- botskerswell, in Devonshire, is a tree which does duty as a lamp post. Jt has been lopped and pruned and fitted with an iron cage and rest to accom- modate an oil lamp like those used for lighting the village. So far as is known it is the only living lamp in the world, and it may be added the branches have to be kept cut back or they would envelop the light. This is a good instance of the utility of trees, and it speaks not a little of the utili- | LIVING LAMP POST. 'tarian minds of the villagers in ac quiring their ving lamp. It is interesting, by the way, to re- cord the manner in which the air got its name. On the landing at Brix- ody of William III, when Prince of Orange, he had occas'on to march through some hamlets on his way to Exeter, having the Abbot of Torre as his guide, and on reaching a hamlet he wished to givé the horses a drink, but found the well was dry, so he | cursed, it, whereupon the Abbot re- proved him, saymg, "King's cursed the well." At the next hamlet it was found the well there was suffering from same complaint, and it is said the good Abbot could not contain Lucky Omens -- Famous W. sl | Grace Has a Preference--Black Cat | as Talisman -- Some Have Their | Favorite Bats--When to Put on the | ainst | EE COSTLY TO CANADIANS, he paid a year ago. Others will suf- fer in the same way. Every public library in the country will have to bear an added expense of from $10 a year up. The U. S. magazines are sarcastic in their references to the new meas- ure. The current issue of Success says: "We cannot forbear expressing to our Canadian scbscribers our condol- ence upon the recently adopted policy of their Gi Government. The new tal | convention between the United States and Canada, which was forced upon the United States by the Canadian Government, means that the great magazines of America will have to pay from 40 to 75 cents per annum more for postage than they have paid hitherto. The result is obvious--the subscription price must Pe raised to Canadian subseribers. By a most curious and amusing paradox, the ex- tra money which the Canadian sub- scriber paps goes into the treasury, not Canada, but of the United States. In other words, a thousand American magazines to the United States Government the extra postage money on magazines going to Canada, while a bare half-dozen Canadian mage- «zines, of practically no circulation in the United States, pay to the Cana- dian' Government the increased rate on their limited American circulation. It is the Canadian citizen who pays the piper, and he contributes an en- ormous Sum annually to the revenues of the American Government." To the increased cost is also liable to be added the annoyance of non- receipt of their periodicals. Last week, for instance, the entire supply of a weekly magazine that is popular here went astray while being sent by freight, and hundreds of people were disappointed. PULPIT HAS LOST INFLUENCE. Bishop Mills Makes Scathing Re- marks on New Theology Craze. In his annual charge to the synod of the diocese of Ontario recently, Bishop Mills, referring to the "new theology," spoke of unbelief being rife and rampant. . "It is in the air," he said, "and is manifesting itself in many forms. It has been eating for some tire, as a canker, at the oy vitals of religion, | and now, by its flerent exponents, it attacks in some instances certain portions of the Scriptures, which have generally been regarded as historic, and characterizes them as merely a combination of myths. "While," said the bishop, "I have the profoundest sym with, and respect for, an honest bter, who is seeking and desirous of finding light and truth, but whose intellec- tual make-up prevents him from ac cepting what is clear and satisfactory to othérs--yet, for a dergyman who holds and teaches doctfines contrary to what at his. ordination he has sworn - to maintain, who eats the chorel's bread, while false to her, I can command no language strong en- ough to express my contempt. "The question as to the' position such a man occupies .is not a theo- | logieal question, but a moral one. "There are some nowadays, who, while making much of reaching, ap- parently have lost con ce in the weapons of their warfare; and use them merely for entertainment--for desiring, they say, to keep pace with the times, they have changed the pul- pit into a platform, and sermons Jt popular lectures, in which world questions of the dav are Si while the momentous question, 'What must I do to be saved?" is left un- answered, "The modern pulpit has largely lost its power, because it has not been fulfilling its God-appointed du- ties. I fear that as ministers of Christ we are not as bold in proclaiming truth, ought to be Fruit-Growers' Requests. - Representatives of the Co-operative Frvit-growers of Ontario recently waited upon Hon. Mr. Monteith to ask his assistance in precuring the service of an expert to give instruc- tion in packing, so that uniform me- thods may be adopted by the various branch societies. They also asked that {the department appoint someone to organize co-operative societies where | such do not now exist, and to extend | the usefulness of existing and new societies. Hon. Mr. Monteith said he would be plad' to assist them in any possible consistent with the work bon duties of the department. It is { likaly, that the department will con- himself and he swore, when the King | retorted, "Abbot's cursed the well." The two villages were thence-f known as "Kingskerswell"" and "Ab- botskerswell" respectively -- which names they retain to this day.

He pawed the earth in his rage, so that no one dared to go near the fence, for if the bull had tried, he could have broken it like mateh- wood. His head was of such an enor- mous size that the sight of it was startling. It was interesting to no- tice how the animals acted wu re- {gaining their liberty.

The greatest sight, however, was the driving of the buffaloes to the park | on Sunday afternoon.

It was a sight which very few of the erowds of spectators, who followed on horseback and in conveyances of all kinds, ever had seen. Two hundred buffaloes tramping, tramping, across the Alberta prairie! For two miles the plain is flat, and a splendid view could be obtained. Before the en- trance of the park, however, there is a wooded hill, over the crest of which | the buffaloes, one by one, disappear ed.
