unbeaten le.mis in the Riibbleisdale League, were down to try conclusions on the .-Vbbey- iles' ground on S.aturday and the match was regarded a.s the most imixirtaiil of tlie sea.son. .Unlartunalely there was more of that


sp'oiil-spoi'i, rain, and the Abbeyites suf­ fered a heavy limmciaRloss. A large crowd would undoubteilly have accompanied the visitors and .sixicial preparations had been m:uki fo r their reception: The start was delayed until a quarter to


three on account of the adverse weather- and the vis'itors batted first, opening trith Slater and Walmsley to the attack of Ward and Hindle. Play had only been in pro- gre.s.s three minutes, hotrevor, when rain droi’C the players from the field. The downpour continued for a,bout an


hour and the water formed in pools on the ground. The plax'ors waited until five (u'lnck and it was then decided-to ab.an- diMi the game.

both the opening batsmen were sent back to the pavilion.


Morlw', who scored 19 before being


caught by IValmsley, was the only visiting pl.aver to reach the decade. DoubLing their ability to reach the home score in the time at their disposal, the batsmen did not try to get runs, but adopted some stone-walling tactics, which, however, were not very effec­ tive. Over anxiety to keep the -wicket intact


in some cases caused the loss of the -nicket, and when tlie last man, went in vith the score tinder 50 .and some minutes to play, the visitors had something of a fright. IVihitt.aker and Nuttall, howex'er, proved


equal to the occ.asion, and the match was drawn greatly in favour of the Barrovians, who were roblxid of victory by time alone. Hollinrako was the pick of the bowlers. He was in deadly form, and bowled tihroughout the iniiiings, capturing 5 wickets for 16 runs.

THE A^ALUE OF TACT. A tactful person can make a whole


roomful of people happy by conveying to them individually a tacit recognition of their individual accomplishments. T’o tell a shy girl that she is charming is to transform her and make her exercise her charm. To tell a dispirited man that ho is courageous and clever is to init into him sucli an infusion of strength that lie will he on the high road to success.


EXORBri’ANT: 'TR.IFLES. ‘ . I t is the dearness of the little things


in life that annoys me. Somoliow or other the more trifling an article is the dearer the price becomes. For years we have been imposed upon in tliis way— paying exorbitant prices for the little things, so that by this time it has become so much of a custom that wo pay our money without murmcr, feeling that notliing short of drastic legislation can lift the burden of the dearness of the little things from us.


REPART'EES. Ill the enthusiasm of the moment a


Congrossmaii from India called a gentle­ man from Illinois an ass. The term being objeoted to, the s]ical«r politely liaraphrased it : “ AA'hilc 1 witlidraw the unfortun.ato word, I must insist that tho gentleman from Illinois is out of order.” “ How am I out of - order cried tho Illinois representative. 'Then tlie otlicr felt that virtue was its own reward. “ Probably a veterinary' surgeon could tell you,” said lie. From this we Ic.arn the folly of asking too m.any questions. Dan O’Connell did one better. A


persistent interrupter was silenced by the command to a bystander “ to put a wad in that calf’s mouth.”


; li'A'lTGUE AND CHARACT’ER. FAatiguc lowers our eontrolability far


’ sooner than it lowers our ability to be angry. Tired men go on sprees. 'ITiat is one

COST OF REPRODUCING 'THE GREA'I.’ PYRAMID.


A jiainstaking compiler has just written


a paper, saj's “ Soicnoc Siftings,” which gives tho estimated cost of reproduoing the Grand Pyramid of Chcoiis. The author assumes that the material should be equally as good as that of the original, and that all the ehamhers and pass.ages should be roprodueod. The length of the sides of tho pyramid are at present 746 feet, the height 454 feet and the area of


' the base 12J- acres. 'To build it there would be required :—3,313,000 cubic yards


I of coarse limestone as backing stone, ! 140,000,000 cubic yard.s of fine limestone I as facing stone, 2,000 cubic yards of granite ns facing stone, and 2,000 yards of


i ]iolislied facing granite. 'The total cost ■ of tho above would bo at least £7,200,000 ' and the labour required would ’ bo 24,000,000 day.s’ work, wliicli is equivalent to tho work of 40,000 men for a period of two years. Tho total for material and labour would ■ be £14,400,000. 'To this


ifigure must be added at least £600,000 for transportation and smaller items, and, praotically, Avhcrc-ver built, tho cost of a

MON'TH EOR MURDER. AA'hat a relief that May is gone ! 2A


writer in tlw “ British Health Review,” whoso subject is the depression and rheumatism that alternate in some people, attributes to this month of the poets somo terrible deeds. May is a bad montli for the depressed


(he says) becaust? in the first warmth there- is naturallj' the greater ru.sli for poisons from the joints into tho blood, and ns a result of tliis, depression gets worse, while rheumatism and gout improve. In May wc meet with the worst circulation in the brain, and so with the greater depression and bad temper from which result suicide and murder. May is also regarded ns an unlucky month for ma-rriage, for sex passion and temper are at their worst with the worst circulation, and hence many unfortunate results have no doubt been produced, and have helped to give the


month a bad name. j\Iay is also a month of great trial to the


aged,' who nearly all have weak- hearts, or defective ve.ssels, or both, and as tho rush of M-asto products into the blood inits ail increased strain on both and vc.ssels, heart failure or cerebral hemorrhage terminates many old lives


about this time of tho year. In the great majority of eases of mental


depression there arc three .things which may bo done with advantage ;—(l) Get tho blood as clear as possible from waste


iwoducts ; (2) rest tho heart so that it may recover its power and tone; (3) lesson its work and chanee.s of oedema by kassciiing the intake of fluids.


SUri'ED. A young woman answered an ac(vcrlisc-


ineiit for a servant, and the lady of the house seemed pleased witli her. .But before engaging her there were some


(piestioiis to ask. “ .Suppose,” said the lady— “ now only


su pilose, understand—that you wore Barry lug a- piece of .stc,ak from the kitehcii, and by accident should let it slip from the piato to the floor, what should you do '!” The girl looked the lady straight in the


face for a nioiiiont before asking : “ Is it a private familj', nhim, or arc


there boarclcrs.'?” “ Boarders,” answered the lady.


“ Rick it up and put it l/aek on tlie plate’ firmly replied the girl. She was engaged.
