BALL TEAM ON THE HOAD
SWINGING ROUND THE CIRCUIT WITH
A PROFESSIONAL NINE.
Annoyance? That Confront the Ball To??
er-lira wi ne for Berths - A feqnllar
Cia*? or ITiVWho Esteem it a Great
Privilege tc Entertain the Flayers.
T. FTom the moment that the profes
sional ball player finishes a series of
games on his home grounds until he
has completed the trip around the cir
cuit that is provided by the league
-schedule ne is harassed by two fears.
The first and tue greater is that he
may be allotted the upper berth in
sleeping-cars, and the second the
diead of losing his playing form by
lack of exercise.
A third annoyance, notwithstanding
the fact that the best of hotels are
provided for the players by the club
owners, is tho occasional lack of suf
ficient food. That is, these strong,
-healthy" ball players insist that they
do not always obtain what their ap
petites demand. And there is a rea
son for their complu int, although it
is not the owner's fault
It is the sleeping car berth, how
ever, that is really the bane of the
professional player's existence. He
will endure almost anything in the
way of discomfort without a complaint,
but will grumble during the thou
sand and five hundred miles of travel,
grumble and complain like a spoiled
child, if he is- compelled to sleep, as
he describes it, "under the car roof."
Very frequently when the ball clubs
make long jumps, ?ike the trip from
New York to SL Louis, a special car
is furnished to thc club. It is given
. exclusively to the players for the trip.
% ~There *lhey live, a happy, laughing,
good-natured crowd, until it is time to
retire on the first night out.
If there be a your.g player or two
young players on the team, woe to
them! They get the upper berths with
out any consideration. It is part of
>?* their? initiation into the business, and
.proud indeed is the beginner the first
time he is allowed, to draw for the
chance "of a Tower Uerth. He knows
he is no longer considered a novice.
In the arawmg, the manager of the
team first reserves a lower berth for
" Juinself,. another. Jpr .the captain, one
J\ . for the business manager, if there ba
oce^ancWtt?eg hertha for. as many
newspaper representatives as happen
to be traveling with the club. All the
other sjleeplng-car tickets are put into
envelopes and sealed. Then the play
Vrs are permitted to draw, beginning
r-s a mle with the man who has been
longest with the club
After the drawing has been made,
some of the players who are thrifty,
and who are willing to submit to a
. "room' in the attic," now and then sell
; their lower berth? to companions.
Who are ready to ad va), ce half a dollar,
sometimes less, for the privilege of
steeping "downstairs."
r "In'some of the clubs an arrangement
is in vogue whereby the pitchers are
... -given the lower berths. This is es
pecially true of the teams where the
pitcher also happens to be the man-'
ager. He insists that good pitching
ls the most important part of he game,
? and that the pitchers should be giv
en every opportunity to rest in order
that the team may be successful in
. ltb games on the road. The other play
ers, on the contrary, maintain that
the pitchers work only once in three
or four games, and have ample time to
. recuperate! . .

"' "the other players of a professional
baseball nine is almost as old as the
game, and it has yet to be settled in
a manner satisfactory to both sides.
Long experience has taught the pro
cessional ball player how to take life
easgJg~tTgV?lTn^osi-^ll oLMs-jour
ney ing is done in the hottest months
of the year and very wisely in his
dress he3 adapts himself to prevailing
conditions. Loose shirts, low collar^
thin lonnging coats and airy caps make
him the envy of men who swelter and
. ;fumo in apparel more dignified but far
more distressing, when the dust is fly
ing 4h- clouds that threaten to suffo
cate ?he passengers, and when heat
waves, radiating from embankments
and level stretches, undulate contin
uously through the car.
Dominoes are popular with the ball
players. It Js easy to carry the box
of pieces around and there are always
candidates for the pastime. On some
?. teams two men who are fond of crib
bage will begin on the very first trip
to play a series of games, aud will
prolong it indefinitely. Two players j
/-cf v the -Boston club once played more
" than two thousand games 'of cribbage
\_in^seasoh. The. otner members of the
team insisted that this pair counted
"fifteen two, fifteen four" in their
sleep.
There are stiff games at caids now
- ?md, then, bat if it comes to the man
ager's oar that the stakes ere high
there is sure to follow, a little private
hearing in the morning, at which the
player is cautioned nofc to Tepe?t any
t j'nio^?- "five-dollar-limit games."
'At the more importan, stations along
thc railroad the small boy, by some
intuition that is all his own, invariably
manages to pick out not only me train
on which the ball players are travel
ling, but the car in which they ride.
If, among the gaping urchins, there
happens to be one who, at some time
in his life, has been taken to the me
tropolis and has seen a gamo of "real
league bali," it devolves upon him to
point out the celebrities to his more
unlearned companions.
"There's Mathewson!" shouts a
tow headed, freckle-faced lad, and in
a moment Mathewson, the pitching
?t wonder of the baseball world for1 a
year, is the centre of two score in
quisitive eyes.
"Say, he only looks like a great big
boy himself," sajs one youngster, who
stems rather disappointed not to find
ar. aged individual with streaks of gray
in his hair.
"So much th9 better," declares an
other. "It just ihows wnat a boy cai
do^ if you give him a chance. Hey,
Malty, show us how to throw an out
curve, will you?"
Not infrequently I have seen the big
p?tcher*'ot the New Yorks condescend
to give the urchins a demonstration
- of curve ball pitching. And rest as
sured that the next time the "Eagle
Eyes" of the village played tn2 "Young
Busies" of the adjoining hamlet, they
Jjad- for their pitcher the youngster
who by that time enjoyed the reputa
9 |ioji of having been "one of Mathew
f-Qn's boys." With that prestige to
starjV'"~wilh any team would go into
Jthe game with the battle half wen. j
9 But if there are 3mall boys to watch
?or the ball players along the railroads
there are larger boys to entertain
*?hem <?when they reach the various
rcities, of their destination. There is
a peculiar class of men in every city
of lhe United State* where a profes
sional baseball is played who spend a
great perron of thoir time and no
small portion of their money entertain
. ig the player*
They get nothing In return for lt.
. und expect nothing more than to have
it generally known that they fcre
friends of Davis, Lajoie, Dowle, Col
lins, and one .hundred and one men
who have made baseball famous. If
the player wants to smoke, thc cigars
are his. If he warns to drink, there
are drinks so long as he Wants them.
If he desires to go io the theatre, his
accommodating patron will secure the
tickets, even though he be obliged to
pay a premium for them.
When the players are on the road
they seldom get '-.torning practice, and
that affords them no little worry. Con
stant exercise is necessary once the
season has fairly begun. A ball play
er does not train, to the fineness of a
college al Jete competing, for example,
in a rowing crew, but even then he
stiffens up quickly and his . playing
form vanishes it ha ('oes not keep his
muscles in proper trim. Strange to
say, with the knowledge of this truth,
there are few of the players who exert
themselves further than to walk
around the block-now and then. They
are always willing to take the chances.
There are not many- of the players
who are early risers. It is true, too,
that there are few who are in any great
haste to get to bed. The tendency of
many of them, who have graduated
from minor leagues, where they have
not been fed on pate de foie gras and
a few similar delicacies, is to eat ali
there is on the bill of fare when they
first sit at table in \ first class hotel.
The veteran knows bettor. Experi
ence has taught him a lesson. In fact
the veteran ball player is something
of an epicure, and he is inclined to
be rather abstemious than otherwise.
A hearty breakfast is perhaps the
best meal of the aay. At luncheon a
little soup, perhaps a vegetable 'or two
some ice cream, and slice of water
melon in season. That's all before the
game-a queer combination, but a
ball player with an overloaded stom
ach is an abomination lo his manager.
At night, and here is where tire profes
sional player grumbles, and really has
a grievance, the dinner is often cold.
The player, after finishing the game,
changing his uniform, and preparing
himself for the evening, arriver, in the
dining room when the dishes are be
ginning to cool and the waiters are
impatient to get through. But there
is misery In store for the waiter who
shows it.
Not a moment that the player is not
under the watchful eye of the manager.
Sometimes he believes that he is not,
and when he should have been in bed
at ll o'clock he fixes up a dummy
in the bed, which the manager may
see if he peeps throughout the key
hole to ascertain whether everything
is all right.
Next salary day, however, ne dis
covers that that dummy has cost him
a fine of ten dollars. If he is wise he
takes it gracefully. He knows that
if he does his duty on the field and
plays excellent ball in the next few
weeks he is likely to find tho ten dol- -
lars returned to him.
Professional ball players, notwith
standing their years of discr?tion, are
a great deal like overgrown boys, and
they have to be treated as such. They
may get a little boisterous in public
now and then, but alnrost never are in
tentionally offensive. Each year finds
them growling about the hard work
that falls to their lot to travel around
the country and have a good time, and
each year they declare will be their
last. -

WEAPONS OF THE CHINES?.
Their Arran Wer? Evolved-Mo lied
(if-.1-es i ena ti ir,. Kauic.
The promine?Lpari^' played by
China in the world"sr?rfairs during thc
past seven years aroused the inter
est of collectors who have brought to
^his country many specimens of wares
and goods peculiar lo that part of the
far East. None among these are of
greater historical vaU:e than the wea
pons which are in use in all provinces
of the empire, even in the districts
where the imperial armies are
equipped with European firearms.
One of the L??st collections was shown
in this city not long ago, and is now
in the possession of the commercial
museum at Philadelphia. Single speci
mens of value are to be found in the
Chinese clubrooms in Chinatown, and
in many of the bric-a-brac stores scat
tered about the city.
A careful study of the weapons
shows that most of them are naught
tut industrial appliances suddenly
employed for purposes of offence. One
spear is a pitchfork and another a tri
dent similar to the eel-spear employed
by our own fishermen. Another
ghastly weapon when examined care
fully proves to be a scythe-blad^ fast
ened to the c-nd of a strong pole. The
halberds are hatchets, axe heads,
adzes, and cleavers wired or tied
with throngs,to stout staves. Even
the spears and lances show an agri
cultural or domestic rather than a
military origin.
These weapons may be viewed as his
torical souvenirs which are preserved
as testimonials of the bravery of the
Manchu conquerors. Thc Tartars take
great pride in their conquest of the
Middle Kingdom. Before they came
from the north they .were savages in '
comparison with the cn?i>.ed Chinese.
They preserve this fact 'a their laws
and customs. The cuir of every offi
cial's coat is made in the form of a
horse' hoof to indicate that the Man
churian armies were cavalry, not in
fantry. The official footwear is a cav
alry boot, which, though mad*1 of sat
in with kid-covered soles, is in cut
and general appearance the same as
the heavy leather articles worn by
their ancestral troopers 300 years ago.
When they conquered Chinse they ex
perienced the strongest resistance
from the farmers and shermen who
armed themselves with whatever came
lo hand and attacked the invaders
with fierce intrepidity.
In honor of these victories they re
tained the primitif weapons of their
captives and used them as trophies of
their battles. Each Manchu officer
employed a lot of Chinese captives
and armed them with their own
spears, tridents, and axes as the case
might be. The practice has been kept
up ever since. Whin a Mandari!
goes calling he has one or more guards
in his retinue who are armed with
these simple contrivances. So far h?^
the idea been pushed that In nearly I
all the temples there are weapons
which belong to the God of the tem
ple, and these arc usually of :he same
agricultural character as those em
ployed by the guards of civil and mil
itary officials.
Two of three great British battle
ships to be laid down this year are to
be named Commonwealth and Domin
ion, in compliment to Australia and
Canada respectively.
Toothpicks Tabooed
Whether or not tho final course at a
meal shall be toothpicks is a mooted
question. Many say no, and have
good reasons for their decision. A
handnomo woman and her young
daughter entered a swell placo one
day and ordered an elegant luncheon.
Tliey were tastefully gowned and
money seemed plentiful with them
and the waiter in attendance was un
remitting In his attention. Finally he
placed a small stand of toothpicks on
the table. "Remove those instantly,"
said the elder woman, "it's a vulgarity
I cannot tolerate. I would just as
soon clean my teoth at a table as usc
a toothpick publicly."
"What a crank that woman was,"
sneered a pretty girl at a table close
by, "maybe che was something like
tne honest country youth when offered
a finger bowl and napkin, replied,
'Thank you. but I done washed befo'
I cum.' "-Louisville Times.

A single Instance may illustrate
the practical results of scientific
experimental work. It was found by
Pierce and others that curled leaf of
the peach could be prevented by fun

Machinery suffers, perhaps, as much
from overheating as it does from gen

the moving parts have become exces
sively heated, a German invonlor has
devised a paint composed of nn amal

claims, will turn color when heated
bearings to which it is applied are
red in color under normal cor.ditions.
But when a temperature of 140 de

paint turns black.

Considerable concern is felt in Shef
field at the decrease in the number

has been an important craft in Shef-.

percent of the old journeymen have
either died or dropped out of the busi
ness, so that only some 300 grinders
are left. Thc interesting feature ia
that young men appear averse to ap
prentice themselves at the trade, so
that, with the further natural Inroads
on the ranks, the razor grinding busi
ness may reach an acute stage, parti
cularly' as no machinery has yet been
devised to supersede hand labor for
this operation.
A Russian living in Canada has tak
en out patent in the United States
for a process of hardening objects
made out of plaster of paris. He as
serts that they may thus be rendered
as hard as stone. His method is sim
ple in theory, but a little difficult in
practice. It consists of boiling the
l inster cast in a bath of alum. The
plan is to melt the alum and keep it in
a fluid slate while the operation is in
progress, lt will not do to make a
solution ia water. Nevertheless tho
melted alum has a tendency to thick
en into the consistency of syrup or
paste. In order to reduce lt to a prop
er state and keep il iiiOi'c," the invent
or jvVlf! acetic acid, or vinegar. The
latter is dulted with a litte water.
When he begins to heat the alum he
arlds a small quantity r*f the dHrrtc<i
vinegar, and at intervals repeats the
dose, ro as to maintain the fluidity of
the stuff. Tt should be kept at a boil
all. the time that the plaster is Im
mersed in it.

Something new in the way of a
food product is pea flour, with which
the war department has recently been
making experiments, lt will bo placed
on the market before long at a mod
crate price, and seems likely to come
into use to a considerable extent. This
flour is intended to be mixed with
wheat flour for making bread, and
the claim is that it improves the
flavor of the bread, which remains soft
and moist for a much longer time than
when wheat flour alone is employed.
The pea flour is prepared for market
by cooking the peas with steam, ?then
roasting them, and finally powdering
them by roller process, the final pro
duct being light sulphur yellow in col
oi and nearly as fine as ordinary
wheat flour.
It is extremely nutritious, and is said
to contain nearly two and a half
times as much of the substance that
goes to make muscle and blood as
does wheat flour. Nearly 59 percent
of the pea flour is starch, and oyer 28
percent is flesh-forming stuff, with
practically no water.-Philadelphia

Origin of Gunpowder.
In Germany and Italy great honor
is paid to Saint Barbara, but until now
no one has been able to discover the
exact reason.
A German officer says that she is
honored because the inventi?n of pow
der is in a large measure due to her.
Berthold Schwarz, a monk, he ex
plains opened the "Lives of the Saints"
on Saint Barbara's day and read the
story of her martyrdom, after which
he reasoned as follows:
"The heart of the virgin was white
as salt, the soul of her tormentor was
black as coal, and it was sulphur from
Heaven which punished him for his
cruelty. 1 will mix these three things
and it will be a wonder if 1 do not dis
cover the philosopher's stone."
He did mix them, and as soon as he
put the mixture in a fire a tremendous
explosion followed. Such. . according
to German soldiers, was the origin ol
?junpoA'der.

I suffered from a difficulty about
breathing, a sort of breathlessness
which was very distressing, lt was
always worse on just rising. I
thought these spells proceeded
frorr something wrong with the
heart, but I believe now it is con
nected with the stomach, for I find
Ripans Tabules do me good, andj
my breathing is better already. I]
do not have that miserable, de
pressed feeling and can eat and
sleep well.

With nothing but soap and water it
is possible to wash and iron handker

or on a large mirror. After the hand
kerchief is washed clean, spread it out
smooth on one of the panes, and yon
will find that, being wet, it will stick
there as though glued. It will stick
there, too. after it is dry. You will

The Family Medicino Cabinet.
Medicines for family use vhould be
kept in a locked cabinet hanging out
of reach of children. Such a cabinet
should bc supplied with spirits of
camphor, spirits of turpentine and lin
seed oil in pint bottles; sassafras oil
and sweet oil in bottles holding at
least four ounces; quinine in a tin
box with a screw top (the safest form
in which to buy and keep quinine) ;
five or ten cents' worth of Epsom salts
in a low glass or china jar with wide
mouth (pint fruit cans do well for tho
purpose); a few sticks of lunar caus

the light, also in glass; and a smail,

Ensy Way to Save Ice?
I made a fortunate discovery at the
beginning of the summer, that has les
sened the amount of my ice bill. I
tried first putting a newspaper over
the ice in the refrigerator; but as I
like to use the small piece, left in the
box when the new ice comes, for my
water cooler, I found this would not
do, as the ice tasted of the paper.
Then I tried wrapping the ice in flan
nel. This was good, but to keep a
fresh flannel ready and all clean and
sweet made extra labor.
Finally I spread a double thickness
of old carpet over the outside top of
the refrigerator. This was a perfect
success. My ice account from April
1 to October 1 was $2 less than the
year previous, and we certainly had as
warm a summer. I made more ices and
frozen desserts this summer, too.
Good Housekeeping.
A Hint to Bn?y"Motlier*.
If busy mothers, with more swing on
hand than they know Avhat to do with,
would use a little system in this, as
well as in all other home duties, it
would save much work and any
amount ot worry. Almost all mothers
have to attend personally to planning
the clothes for the little folks, to the
buying of materials, consulting with
dressmakers as to how this or that
should be made, and so on through a
list of things necessary to the sewing
season. It is really much more satis
factory to lay in a stock of materials,
every th trig- iiecssaryradd ir?YS . a good
seamstress come to the house at stat
ed intervals during the year, and then
do all the sewing that ls to bc done
the making of new clothes and remod
elling of old, providing the mother
canot afford all new. By having, say,
two regular sewing periods every
year, the plain wardrobe of a family
can be kept in god shape with infinite
ly less trouble than by the constant a
little every day method.-The Gentle
woman.
Articles of food fried in drippings
are not only more pajatabie than
those fried in lard, but more whole
some. Indeed, there are many persons
whose stomachs will fight against any
food fried in lard, yet take kindly to
that where drippings have been used.
It may be utilizzed, too, not only for
frying, but for pastry purposes, in the
making of which good beef drippings
is far preferable to the common but
ter generaly used. Therefore to the
family in which economy is any sub
ject the proper care of drippings is ol
considerable importance.
The manner of clarifying the drip
pings, though simple, requires a little
time and care. First, every particle ol
fat should bc melted down, and this,
with whatever superfluous quantity
you may have In your meat pan,
should be poured into a bowl with
with some boiling water. Stir it after
ward for three or four minutes, and
set it away until the next day. Then
take the cake from the bowl, and re
move with a knife whaever impurities
may have settled on the bottom of it.
Put it into a saucepan, adding a little
salt and some boiling water, and al
low it to simmer for twenty minutes,
skimming off thc impurities if any rise
to the surface. Then pour it again
into a bowl, and when cold, free the
bottom of thc cake as before, melt}
and strain it through a sieve, and
when quite cold put away for use in a
covered stone crock. Drippings may
be used for frying purposes over and
over again, but should be clarified
after each using.
Hawaiian Breakfast Balls-Three
fourths of a pound of leaf beef, raw,
with four medium sized peeled raw po
tatoes, chopped very fine together, or,
better still, put through a meat grind
er. Mix in salt, pepper, two table
spoons of flour and one-half cup of
ciock of cold gravy, or water with a
little butter. Form in flat cakes and
fry slowly on both sides.
Sultana Cake- Six ounces of butter,
six ounces of sugar, four eggs, one
half pound flour, three-quarters of a
pound of sultanas. Beat the batter to
a cream, add the sugar and beat for
10 minutes longer, add two eggs and
beat for a few minutes, then add the
other two, mix in the flour and sul
tanas, stir gently. Pour into cake tin,
lined with buttered paper, and bake in
a moderate ove nfor one and a half
hours.
Orange Custard-If you like a touch
ot the bitter orange, boil the rind of a
small orange until tender and then
mash to a pulp. Add to it the juice of
two oranges and the yolks of four eggs
beaten with half a cup of sugar. Pout
on a pint of scalded milk and stir un
til the sugar is dissolved and the cus
tard cool enough to pour into custard
cups. Set away to stiffen. Just before
serving rub rome lump sugar over the
rind of two oranges and then crush it;
sprinkle this sugar over the top of the
custards. Chopped almonds may be
used instead of the sugar;

Dr. Hartman Gives Free Advice
to Suffering Women.

the Summer MonthSi
-America is the land of nervous women.
The great majority of nervous women arc
so because they are suffering from some
furiu of female disease. By ?tr the great- I?
est number of female troubles are caused
by catarrh.
Women afllicted with pelvic catarrh de
spair of recovery. Female trouble is HO
common, so prevalent, that they accept it
as almost inevitable. The greatest obsta
cle in the way of recovery is that they do
not understand that it is catarrh which is
tho source ot their illness. In female com
plaint, ninety-nine cases out of one hun
dred are nothing but catarrh. Bertina
cures catarrh wherever located.
The following letter was recently re
ceived :

Gentlemen: - "What bread and meat
means to thc hungry Bertina means to the
sick. It is an especially valuable medicine
for sick women. I have found that no med
icine so quickly restores health and places
the body in a normal condition. 1 but
voice thc sentiments of women who were
once sick, but now are in perfect health."

THE CIRCLE.
Life is a ring, wita love at the start,
And many ambitions along the way,
But whatever desires may find the
heart,
They are certain to end in love,
some day.
We start from love and wc boldly go
To win the fortunes the fates may
send;
But whatever our state may be, high
or low,
We all come back to love at the end.
