Ar gonaut. A "Fowl" Ball. 1 . A ball game between two semipro teams, one colored, was played ou the nortb side and attracted a numerous following of negroes, who went a long way to root for their team. They oc cupied a section by themselves, sayti the Chicago Post. A foul bull went In among, them and did not come back, causing a red hair ed contender to. go to that purt of the stand and yell: "Throw that . ball- back. What d j you think It Is a chicken?"

In the county of Gloucestershire, Euglaud, there lives a family of wenv ers who for generations have manu factured a cloth known as the .west of England cloth, whose fineness of texture aud evenness of surface have never been equaled despite thousands of dollars used for machinery In an attempt to duplicnto this product. Tho secret of this Gloucestershire family has been well kept, nnd they aro the buyers of the finest grade of wool that the market is able to produce. Months of hard labor and energy Is spent In the manufacture of 100 yards of the material, and compensation ' for Its ownership Is rife among the buyers, owing to the' limited quantity availa ble. All professional billiard players, both In Great Britain, where their game demands a higher degree of ac curacy than that of the United States, and the American players usually car ry nlong their own cloth, which ' Is placed on the tables before every Im portant game. New York Sun. Some Secret Burials. ' ' Alarlc, king of the Visigoths .and their victorious, lender, was burled about 1,500 years ngo by his soldiers in the bed of the river Buxento, In south ern Italy. - They first' turned the wit ters into another iMmnnel, uud. after burying their chief uiid his treasures.1 let them flow buck again. His grave was dug by prisoners, who were nil afterward put to death; so thiit the Ro mans might never find his grave. Attlla, klug of the Huns, was buried A. D. 453 on n wide plain. In three cof flns one of gold, one of silver and the third of iron. In his case, too, ull the prisoners who were compelled to dig bis grave wero Immediately killed. Another sovret burial in later history was that of Fernando do Soto, the dis coverer of the Mississippi, whose cof fin was sunk at midnight ftfthe middle of the broad stream to conceal his death' from the natives, who bad been told that he was an Immortal child of the sun. ':'. The Lovers' Leap. Sappho killed herself by jumping ?rom the Lovers' leap, a Leucadlan cliff. This leap was often taken by lovesick persons, who believed that if they survived the full they would be effectually cured of a hopeless passion. The leaps were always witnessed by crowds of spectators, nnd the would besulcldes were in uo way Interfered With by the state. Boats vere in at tendance below to pick up the lenpers if they came to the surface of the sea after the plunge. St.ppho had a pas-' slpu for n young man who did not re turn her lovo and leaped from the cliff in order, to be cured. She perished lu the fall. So also did Artlniestu and many Other celebrities. Pliny tells a curious story of an old Athenian miser who was In love with his cook and. desiring a cure, went to have a look at the cliff, ne peeped over,' shook his bead, went home and married the cook.
