THE AUTUMN GIRL
Brocaded Suits Never
Better Liked Than Now.
IN HUNTER S GREEN BROCADS.
At the end of the season one's tailor
ed suit is apt to look a bit the worse
for weir. and the woman who is up
.to the minute iu smartness is buying a
new costume for the ea.ly autumn
days.
She could not make a more modish
selection than to purchase a suit like
the one pictured of hunter's green
brocaded cloth.
The deep cuffs and collar are fash
ionable features of this desirable cos
tume. A Wall street tinancler was taimng
about music. "1 like nil music," he
said, "except such native and special
sorts as the tomtom, the bagpipes or
the India bufaa give off. Did you ever
notice how a piper prances up and
down as he pipes? He never sits, be
never stands still, but np and down,
round and round, to and fro, be struts
continually. A little boy, listening to
the weird Bkirrof tbe bagpipes of a
street performer, once said to bis fa
ther, 'Father, why does the piper keep
on the move all tbe time he plays?'
'1 can't say, my boy.' the father an
swered, 'unless it is to prevent any
one getting the range with a cobble
stone.' " -. -

KEEP YOUR EYE
ON THE PITCHER
Knfielders Know Where to Play
as Ball Is Hurled.
LIGHT ON' "INSIDE WORK."
It Takes Time to Master Plays That
Often Mean Winning of Ball Games.
Watch For Catcher's Signals Evers
Is an Expert:
"Why don't those men on the infield
move around more?" is a question
often asked at a baseball game, mostly
by people who are not regular patrons
at the parks, when they happen to
take their eyes off the pitcher, catcher
or batter to look at the meu protecting
the inner defense. What they see iu
this glance is a quartet of athletes,
hands on their knees and eyes stead
fastly leveled at the man at tbe plate.
This iTttitude causes the fans to ask
that question. It is the attitude the in
fielders generally are in when tbe
pitcher takes his position to pitch.
What the four men do when the twirl
er is in the act of delivering the ball
the enthusiasts seldom notice, for they
take their eyes off tbe fielders and
focus them on the hurler or hitter.
The infielders move around, probably
not as much as the men occupying
the outer garden, which may be tbe
reason why the fans sitting in the
stands do not observe it. When the
catcher squats to give his signal to
the hurler for a fast ball or curve each
man on the infield watches and knows
what is to be thrown. If tbe back
stop has to hide his signal in such a
way that the third baseman or short
stop cannot see they are informed
through a code by the second baseman
or first baseman. ' It is necessary that
each man know so be can play accord
ingly. The way they shift also depends
upon the batter. They may take a
step or two to tbe right or left as 'soon
as he sets himself for the dinger's of
ferings. They may even move farther
than that. Often an infielder will
shift from five to ten feet just because
a certain player swats the ball through
a certain section of the infield.- Then
when the ball is thrown the players
will start to the right or left, accord
ing to whether the ball is thrown is a
fast one or a curve.
Failure to observe this system close
ly has lost many a game and has cost
clubs many runs. Manager Evers of
the Chicago Cubs follows this method
probably closer than any other man in
the game today.
If the Cubs' leader 1s watched closely
it will be found that he starts toward
first base when a ball is thrown to the
outside of the plate by a right handed
pitcher and toward second when the
bail is over the center or on the inside.
This enables him to make a quick start
and also enables him to field batted
balls that he probably would not come
near getting if he did not obtain this
one or two step advantage.
WHEAT CRACK OUTFIELDER:
Bill Dahlen Says He Wouldn't Trade
Him For Any Other Man.
Manager Bill Dahlen of the Brooklyn
team declares that Zach Wheat is the
most valuable outfielder in the Na
tional league. "There isn't anything

be cannot do. and do it well, too," said
Dahlen recently. " wouldn't trade
him for any other outfielder in the
parent organization Wheat can al
most tell just what direction to go to
get under tbe ball as soon as it is bit.
He covers as much if not more ground
than any otfcer outer gardener in the
league, and be possesses a wonderful
throwing arm. "
"As a base runner he is one of the
best in the game. Although he is not
hitting as hard as he did last year or
the one before, be is hitting when bits
mean runs. No. sir. I would not part
with him for any other outfielder, and
that's saying some." .
in Eigypi a targe proportion or tne
barbers are state functionaries. Ac
cording to ifti edict issued by Ibrahim
Pasha in 1848. every village barber
was ordered when death occurred in
his district to make a careful examina
tion of the corpse and report to the au
thorities any death occurring through
epidemic, disease or foul play. Severe
penalties were imposed for any neg
lect of this duty, and a fee of 5 cents
was paid for each death registered.
Some years ago the system of payment
by fees was abolislied, and each village
barber now draws from the govern
ment a fixed salary for bis services.

SNARES i'N ENGLISH.
Puzzles For Foreigners Who Arc
Learning the Language.
It is hard for the person to whom
English is his native tongue to realize
what a struggle the foreigner has to
understand some of the peculiarities
of our spelling and pronunciation. "One
foreigner gives the following descrip
tion of his first lesson in an English
class. . -
We have been given a book to learn
the letters. I arrive at the class, hav
ing learned them perfectly.
. Soon, in the course of the lesson, we
have the word 1-o-w. "Love," I pro
nounce it, thinking the w has tbe
sound of v.
"No; it is pronounced 'lo.' " says the
teacher.
"Then why is the w there?" I in
quire, mystified.
"It is there because that is the way
the word is spelled," responds the
teacher, "but it is silent. Never mind
why: it is sufficient to know that it is
there."
Befoce long we corap to n-o-w.
"Pronounce It" says the teacher.
"No." I reply.
"Why will you not?" she asks me.
It is some time before she under
stands that I am trying to pronounce
the word when I say "No." Then she
declares that, although 1-o-w is lo, n-o-w
is now.
"If you want to make it no," she ex
plains kindly, "you put k before it" .
Yon may believe I am bewildered.
However, I memorize that n-o-v is
now. The next word is s-n-o-w. I
pronounce it like now with an s be-,
fore it The teacher laughs. The w is
again become silent, apparently for no
reason, and the word is called sno.
But that is not all. Later ! find that
if yon drop the n from snow you can
pronounce it whichever way you like.

LONDON'S QUEER MARKET.
All Its Wares Are Strewn Upon the
Cobbled Pavements.
There are many queer markets scat
tered over the face of the globe, but
London, among its many other unique
features, is the proud possessor of
what is perhaps the strangest and most
extraordinary of them all.
At the Caledonia market, Islington,
whence the great metropolis draws a
large proportion of its meat supply, the
cobbled pavements, with their count
less rows of white fenced pens, are
usually given up to the display of fat
sto 3k but Kvidays "a change comes
o'er tbe spirit of the dream." The
colibii'd pavements are there, the white
pens still break up tbe wide expanse,
but uo cattle or sheep are to be seen.
On that day the great market is giv
en over to a throng of miscellaneous
traders, whose wares provide the most
amazing contrasts imaginable. There
is nothing in the whole gamut of hu
man devices and needs which one may
not come across displayed in some odd
collection set forth on the cobblestones.
The traders use few counters or stalls.
Each of them, whether he has a stock
worth three or four hundred pounds or
a few rusty old bolts and spindles
which one might reasonably expect to
purchase for a shilling or two, dumps
his wares on the pavement of the mar
ket Moreover, at this remarkable
place there are markets within mar
kets, each taking its regular turn and
place during the day and then packing
up and vanishing. The market was
opened by Prince Albert, Queen Victo
ria's consort, about sixty years ago,

Washington Star.
, Too Much Busy-ness.
Falstaff's saying. "It were better to
be eaten to death with rust than
scoured to nothing with perpetual mo
tion." comes to mind when one notes
the many busy-nesses of the modern'
woman.
"Rushed to death!" she cries. "So
much to do. so little time." and away
she patters to attend a committee meet
ing or address convention or "see
somebody" about something. And it
never occurs to her that this old world
would wag along just the same if she
did none of these things in fact, she
would be highly indignant were such
an insinuation made.
Well, as a matter of fact women
do accomplish many good, works. But
they haven't as yet acquired the art
of doing things without bustle and fuss
as men do. They spend too much en
ergy -in getting ready to do things;
they flutter too much. The empty
wagon makes a lot of noise; the load
ed wagon goes quietly.
The woman of real executive ability
goes about her duties quietly; she has
mentally organized her work. Whether
she moves about in her own house or
engages in outside endeavors, she is
calm and composed and effective. She
has, moreover, a sense of proportion
which enables her to recognize how
much of her energy and time can pro
fitably be given to any one thing.
You will find that the really effi
cient woman is not busy with her
busy-nesses all the time. She knows
the value of leisure and that hurry
and haste never produce the best re
sults. And quite often she is called upon
to repair the results -of overhaste or
ill judged action" on the part of those
who act first and think afterward.
Kitchen Kinks.
To clean strainers and sieves rub
with coarse salt and then pour boil
ing water through them.
When a dish is to be set directly on
ice place a rubber fruit jar ring under
it to prevent it from slipping off.
To prevent a ladder from slipping
paste pieces of old rubber over each
support This will protect the floors
and avert many a fall.
Homemade sanitary duster: Dip a
piece of soft Wack cotton cloth in thin
melted paraffin and let dry. This will
hold the dust so it will not scatter
again.
For absorbing odors when cooking
cabbage,- ham, onions or anything
whjch has a strong odor put a small
pan of vinegar on the stove and there
will be no scent of cooking.
To remove scorch spots wet the
scorched portion with clear water and
sprinkle with borax. It will remove
the scorch find leave no stain and may
be used on the most delicate fabrics.

I. C. S. An Ethical Power
Now, gentlement, just for a moment, I wuld speak to you, not as
an educationalist, but as a preacher of manhood and a lover of his
kind. The question of the use of alchohol by the student when study
ing, has carried me back to the thought. The International Correspond
ence Schools are not simply educational, they are ethical; they not
only make foremen and "craftsmen and draftsmen, but they mak
MEN in capital letters. For you can never awaken any ons to bis
commerciail possibilities without stirring up all other possibilities so
cial, patriotic, philanthropic, intellectual, moral. The moment you suc
ceed breaking up one area of inertia you. set vibration moving through
every part of the being and all kinds of dormant and stagnant powers
are set into healthy motion. When a man's mind gets engrossed with
an intellectual occupation and. he finds that he has a grip upon the
laws and forces oi the universe, the saloon, the vulgar and degrading
buow, tha curb-stone loafing, and the hours of inane and ribald waste
all seam to be unworthy of him and his self-respect clothes him in a
protective armor which helps to keep his entire manhood inviolate. A
"great American preacher. used to speak much about "the expulsive pow
er of a new affection," and, having as your life work the duty of both
supplying and developing this "new affection" the love cf the best, by
which the unworthy and base will be expelled, perhaps unconsciously
but surely, from many and many a man. Success to you in your work!
The Trained Man Never Worries
When the chiefs put their heads together to hire or "fire," the
trained man doesn't worry. He knows that there is always a place for
him. . .

fective measure.
In the fear that these unscientific
opinions may stop orchardists from
following the highly successful practi
cal measures recommended by tha
federal specialists, and thus lose their
own orchards and spread the disease
among neighboring orchards, the de
partment has issued the following spe
cial statement:
, "That pear blight is a bacterial dis
east of the pear tree is not open to
question. The scientists have clearly
established the existence of these bac
tsria by means of microscopis exam
ination, and have reproduced th.9 dis
ease by inoculating fruit and trees
with t'aem. The germ is the bacillus
amylovorus. It is an oval-shaped
body, and is 1-18000 of an inch long
and 1-25000 of an inch across, and can
be clearly seen with a high power mi
croscope. "Moreover, th3 scientists have raised
these bacteria in their laboratories
and havj usad them a large number of
times in experiments to infect healthy
trees and fruit. Wherever this bacil
lus has been introduced into a healthy
traa or fruit the pear blight has fol
lowed. The scientists also have prov
ed that the pear blight can be com
municated from the blossoms of an
affected tree to healthy trees by bees
and othpr insects, and that the blight
that is held over through the winter
can be communicated to healthy por
tions of the sama tree or to other trees
by flies or other insects."
