Snail farming forms a peculiar branch of sricultural industry in France and other untries, and the consumption of them in ‘rance is very large. Edible snails vary sreatly size; the large white ones are the real escargot, but this term is usually employed to designate all edible snails adapted to table purposes. But in the markets, besides escargot, there are two other varieties, known as limace and lima- can, the former being of medium size, and he latter quite small. Though the great najority of the edible snails produced in Srance are of natural growth, their artifi- cial culture is carried on to a very con- siderable extent. They are propagated from August to October in ground especially pre- pared for the purpose, and fed with cab- bage, clover, ete. During the winter they are sheltered in houses composed of brick or wood, and they are gathered and marketed from April to June. In the Tyrol from June to the mid- dle of August the snails are collected from ing. ‘This is a bit of garden ground free trom trees and shrubs and surrounded on 1 des by running water. In this feeding nd are little heaps of mountain pine igs. mixed loosely with wood moss, and ese twigs when dry are replaced by fresh Every day they are fed on cabbage leaves and grass, and when cold weather sets in they go under cover, that is, they collect under the heaps of twigs and bury themselves and there seal themselves up for the winter. When this has been suc- cessfully accomplished they are ccilected, packed in perforated boxes lined with straw and sent off to Paris and other towns. sobs Ba Smashing Old Cannon.

During the recent hot spell in New York city it was observed at the hospitals that the number of cases of persons suffering with sunstroke or heat prostration was very much less than the records of the hos- pitals ten years ago and earlier showed to fave been the case during similar periods of great heat. : ‘The hospital authorities regarded that as abundant indication that people who live in great cities have learned that it is folly | and a temptation to serious illness or death to drink alcoholic or excessively of malt liquers when the sun is raging in the heavens. heat was great the temptation was to in- dulge in beverages which contained alco- hel, often ingeniously and seductively con- © ity of cases brought to the hospitals during heated s liquor frequently to excess. It is the testimony, too, of those whose business it is to sell intoxicants that the demand for these beverages in hot weather is much less than used to be the case. } Even confirmed topers now qualify their beverages in hot weather, and it is only those who by some slip have forgotten the ccunsels of physicians and have taken a “bracer” or a “cooler’’ in the mcrning who are found later in the day to be under the influence of liquor. change that it was observed upon the re- cent Fourth of July—a festive day in the earlier time, when many persons yielded to temptation, and when the newspaper re- ports of the following morning made long records of disaster due to drink—that in New York city the police made fewer ar- rests for drunkenness than are usualiy re- corded on any given day, and the news- papers contained not a single account of disturbance or accident due to liquor. visitor at one of the suburban resorts, where many thousands of the poorer citi- zens of New York are accustomed to go for a day's outing. reported that he saw but two persons under the Influence of liquor. This change is due in part, of course, to the present happy disposition of every one to make excursions into the country, an enjoyment made possible by the trifling fares charged by the trolley lines. But it is also in part due to the better understand- ing of the people of the laws which are necessary to follow if they would preserve health. Men in crowded cities now clearly understand that the use of intoxicants in | very hot weather is not only a discomfort, greatly adding to the suffering which heat causes, but is also a positive invitation to the elements to prostrate the body. Oat- meal water, the more reasonable forms of temperance drinks, such zs mineral waters, {or milk, carbonized or peptonized, enable | the system to resist heat and to throw off by means of perspiration the waste which great heat causes. Intoxicants tend to check perspiration, and thereby increase the danger of sunstroke or heat prostra- tion. And as it is in the great cities, so it is said everywhere to be better and better understood that he who would preserve health and maintain some degree of com- fort in very hot weather must be prudent in eating, obtain sufficient sleep, wear light clothing, and keep the system absolutely free from alcohol or heavy malt beverages. 200 From In the earlier days, when the ed, and it was noticed that in a major- pells the patient had been using To Exterminate Insects. om the Chicago Times-Herald. z A noted bacteriologist has lately con- ceived the plan of exterminating all both- ersome irsects by inoculating them with some disease peculiarly fatal to their re- spective species. The plan was suggested by the successful results obtained by ex- periments in ridding fields of grain from chinch bugs. Mosquitoes, which are be- lieved to convey malaria from the swamps o the human system, would exist no more. ‘lies, which are not as good scavengers as was once supposed, and for whose loss improved sanitary measures would more than compensate, would no longer amble over the heads and noses of would-be nap- pers. There is a pathogenic germ which could be cultivated in tubes, as consump- tion bacilli are now propagated, which would sweep millions of the latter from existence. Bugs, gnats and all insects which ruin grain and fruit are to be the subject of bacteriological experiment. So great has been the A CORCODCCO ELE LLL CELLS O° August-= - The menth of preparation.

Oi) How they st gaunsed £ eteneas eegener > gueneRe An apology is due the great base ball city of Toronto for the insinuations cast at It to the effect that it was supporting a “farm” club. The Washington papers have been led into this error through remarks of the Senators’ representative, and the papers throughout the base ball circuits have re- echoed the charge. Developments within the last few weeks have emphatically demonstrated that the boot is on the other foot, and that Washington has got into the “farm” class. Instead of sending players to Canada to strengthen the Toronto club, the local management has been imploring aid from the Canucks, but in vain. The local club does not care for the players that went from Washington to Toronto this sea- son particularly—any old thing will do—but new faces are what is wanted. The Dead Come to Life. Two games were played in Toronto yes- terday between the home club and Scran- ton; 2,000 spectators saw the Canucks win a ball in the morning and 8,000 saw the vic- tory duplicated in the afternoon. Some weeks back, on the queen’s jubliee day, something like 14,000 people saw the two games played. Toronto was a dead city, from a base ball point of view, for several seasons back, but a winning team has brought about the transformation. The same can be said of Washington. This city was wild at the beginning of the season last year, when “Scrappy” Joyce was roll- ing up victory after victory with his band of Senators. This season the-club made a poor start and has kept at it ever since, with the exception of a fine spurt—a reac- tion from too much manager. Manager Wagner has promised new faces, but the same old gang is with us, and this in the face of the fact that the manager himself has designated them as “‘dunghills and quit- ters.” Mr. Wagner is a good business man, yet he allows several players to draw sal- aries from him that are simply a dead loss to the club. With the money that is being paid to these players at least one good man could be secured, and that, at least, would be an indication of good intentions. No doubt next year’s prospects look bright to Mr. Wagner, as he anticipates pulling down three or four players of the Toronto club to this city, but has he any guarantee that this will be allowed? If something like $25,000 is cleared in Tor- onto this season, will Mr. Wagner's part- ners allow him to disrupt a sure money- maker to strengthen a possibility m the Big league? That is the question. Mr. Wagner has told the local public frequently that he would get new men, and insinuated that they would come from Toronto, but he now tacitly admits that he cannot weaken what was supposed to be a re- serve strength for the Senators. Not After Players. Mr. Wagner returned to Washington yes- terday afternoon from Philadelphia, where it was reported he had gone to hold a con- sultation with his brother George and Manager Irwin of the Torontos. The re- port had all the ear-marks of being in- spired, yet it seems it was false, and that family matters alone were responsible for the manager's trip to Quakerdom. When asked by a Star reporter if he had any news for the disheartened and rightly dis- gruntled local enthusiasts, Mr. Wagner said he had not. When told of the re- ported importance to the local base ball world of his trip to Philadelphia, the man- ager declared the story a “fake,” and added, by way of a footnote: “Y'd'be a sucker to break up the Toronto team at this time. They are making dol- lars up there every day while I am mak- ing cents.”” And there you are! But Mr. Wagner has demonstrated con- clusively that he has a good eye for new players. Now, why don’t he look else- where? There are others. A thousand to fifteen hundred will do the trick, and this sum would be regained inside of a week should the purchases prove good, and the club be strengthened enough to win games. The assertion that players cannot be had is all nonsense. Walter Wilmot was on the market for a week before New York secured him. Wilmot has never had an off year, and last season stood fourth in the batting averages, with a record of .384. McBride is another good. one that had an average of .345. Miller, a second baseman in the Interstate League, is said to be a wonder, both at the bat and in the field. Bill Eagan, the Syracuse second baseman, is said to be well thought of by Mr. Wag- ner, and has been in the big league ‘before. Goeckle of the Wilkesbarres, Grey of Buf- falos, O'Hagan of the Newarks, Pitcher Woods of the Springfields and Mohler, sec- ond baseman of the Des Moines, are all good men. A good wad of money, with one of the Senators thrown in, would bring down almost any one of the players named, and crowds would turn out to welcome the newcomer. Next spring is too late. If we are to have a club in Washington next year, now is the time to begin put- ting it together. The local management in the past has certainly profited enough through sales to be able to expend money now. ‘WASHINGTONS WON. tors Mamage. to Get One eo came From the Boston Clab. ‘Two games were played at National Park yesterday afternoon, the Washingtons and Bestons being the contending clubs. The heme club secured the first game by the score of 9 to 7, but the visitors collared the second by the score of 9 to 5. The first game was a pretty one to look at from a Washington standpoint, as the Senators batted Klobedanz almost at will, while Mercer pitched masterful ball, and would have’ registered a shut-out for the Beaneaters but for the errors back of him im the eighth inning. The Bostons made the great, mistake of eae be ere ten it of the lot, instead of either a he or. meeting it squarely with the bat. In the former case it would have taken sbarp, accurate fielding to get the fleet- footed runners at first, while in the latter the ball generally lands just over the in- fielders’ heads and toc ‘short for the out- fielders.

The elongated fellow did some fine twirl- 2 ing, and would probably have won the game but for an unfortunate error of O'Brien, which nipped in the bud a double play that looked very promising. Sullivan has always had good luck in Washington. No matter how hard he is hit, he manages to land a victory, and yesterday's game proved no exception to the rule. He was hit harder than German and Swaim put to- gether yesterday, but the errors on Wash- ington’s part were opportune and costly enough to permit him to be credited with a victory. Boston scored a run in the first inning, as a result of Stahl'’s two-bagger, a sacrifice and an out. In the second they got an- other, Stivetts going to first on balls, to second on a sacrifice, and home on Allen's single. In the third they got three. Three bases on balls, followed by two safe hits, did the business. With the score 5 to 0 against them, the Washingtons concluded to make a try for a tally in this inning. Abbey went to first on balls, and Wrigley’s single sent him to second. A sacrifice by German moved them both up a base, and Abbey scored when Selbach hit to Allen, Wrigley being caught at third. Boston scored one in the fourth, as Wrigley dropped Sullivan's pop fly, which was followed by a three-baser by Stahl that drove Sully home. Washington failed to score in the fourth, as did Boston in the fifth, but in this inning the Senators cor- raled two. Abbey soaked a hot one to Al- len, which the latter threw wild to Tenney, the runner going to second on the error. Wrigley’s single to right brought him over the plate. Swaim then hit to Allen, forc- ing Wrigley, the elongated pitcher being driven to third when hammered out a two-bagger, from which point he scored when Brown was thrown out at first. In the sixth another run went to the credit of the home club. McGuire started the trouble with a double to right, and Earned runs —Chicago, 4. St: Lula, 4. Two-tnine hits Time GAN Umpire ST.

The Louisvilles had the Clevelands for guests yesterday and treated them rather harshly, the Spiders biting the dust by the score of 5 to 3.

After Stahl had been thrown out nicely by DeMont, Tenney got a base on bails, and went to third on O'Brien’s error of an easy chance from Collins’ bat. Duffy singled to left, scoring Tenney, and Collins scored on Stivetts’ hit to center. As Lowe struck out, McGuire threw wild to second and Duffy came home. The Senators made their fifth and last run this inning on Brown's nice single into right, a sacrifice by DeMont and a good single by McGuire. This made the score 9 to 5 in favor of the Bostons, and there it stood till the end, neither side getting a man over the plate in the last two mnings. Quite a large crowd had collected at the park at the beginning of the second game, the number being estimated at 3,0u0. eoumeRewe ennreswesh we! eoneesebuel™ Harned rui bases —Loutsville, balls—om Evans, 4 Struck out—By Ev Sacri- ford, Hit by Tine— rke, 1.
