A Malediction on Mathewion.
Boon nftcr tho baaobull season open
cl Inst spring Christy Matbcwson of
tho New York Giunts received a lotter
from a gentleman In a small town
reading after this fashion:
"Dear Sir Will you kindly give me
sotno ndvlco right away? With tho
bases full and III Ilecker, tho demon
batsman, at tho bat, I contend that I
ought to throw him my slow out drop.
My manager Insists that 1 ought to
glvo blJi my high In up. This emer
gency is liable to arise at any moment
and I would llko to hear from you
right nway."
Mnthewson forgot to answer, and
tbreo weeks later he received this let
ter from his correspondent:
"Sir I asked you an Important ques
Hon llko a gentleman, and 1 expected
that you would answer It ltlce a gentle
man, but you did not do so, and what
Is tho result? With three men on
bases I threw CI Ilecker my high In
up, and he knocked tho ball over the
fence. I hope tho next time you face
Joo Tlnkqr ho bats you out of the
box." Saturday Evening Post
Life's Trlumphi. ,
Each Ufa has one grand day. The clouds
may lie
Along tho hills and storm winds fiercely
blow,
Tho great red sunshlno llko a thine of
woo
And death's sad skeleton stalk grimly by,
Yet none of these, no matter how tbey
try,
Can shroud the perfect triumph we shall
know
Or dim the glory that somo star will
show,
Set far away In depths of purple sky.
Sweet lovo may bring to us this day su
preme, Or It may thrill our souls through art or'
song
Or meet us where red battlo surges foam;
Hopo's stranded wrecks tho barren coasts
may gleam,
And weeks' and months dash by a somber
throng.
Cut somo time, somewhere, It will surely
como.
T. S. Collier.
Just Had To.
John M. Thomas, president of Mid
dlebury college, says Uint a year or
two ago a certain town employed a
trained superintendent, a college mnn
who knew what a school ought to be,
to exerclso supervision over nil- the
schools of that town. It was the first
time some of those schools had over
been visited In an ofllclal capacity by a
salaried administrative olllcer. In one
school n little toddler was found study
ing percentage, learning It by heart.
"You should not tench him percent
age." tho superintendent said. "He
does not know how to add and sub
tract." "Hut I'vo got to," the teacher an
swered. "The front part of tho 'rlth
luetic is torn out."
FEATHERS AND EGQSHELL8.
Tho fellow with the "marvelous se
cret" to tell tho sex of eggs is ngnln
abroad.
What has become of those doctors
who prenched that fresh egg bring
that yaller bilious look nnd cause liver
Jimjnms? Funny what fool notions
come and go!
In storing clover for fowls hnng It
up in bngs: otherwise much of the leaf
tho best part-is lost. ' Cut it in short
lengths for hopper feeding or into
meal for mash.
Two ducks at Jersey Shore, Pn.. that
went broody at the sarot' time adopt
ed tho unusual stunt of taking turn
on the nest Yes; it's seldom that two
fomnlo quacks got along so well to
gether. An editor arises to rcmnrk: "Thero
Is no swent, no strain, no worry, over
chickens. Tho Industry seems to enro
for Itself and cares extremely well."
This editor Is not a liar, but ho Is
badly mistaken.
Farmers are gradually getting nway
from that old stylo of exclusive corn
rations for hens. To those who nro
still In the rut we quote the rime,
"Lnylng strains, earnest pains and
mixed grains for best gains."
It Is quite amusing to see some of
our harebrained poultry writers using
the n priori nnd Charles Darwin theo
ries In their profound discussion of
rooster origin nnd hen heredity. If
Darwin could read their fool stuff he'd
surely turn turtle.
When tho head of tho query depart
ment of a Philadelphia dally advised
an inquirer to grease her old White
Rocks thoroughly with lard nnd kero
sene and to repeat the dose In a week
she certainly didn't think what nn aw
ful mess such a mixture of grease and
rooster would make and yet some more
if, the birds took a dust bath. The
fools and the city farmers aren't all
dead yet. you bet!
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson Is
advocating the "loss off" system for
the sale of all eggs. Under the old
plan eggs ,nre sold by the dozen re
I'ardlcss of whether good, bad or In
different Under the "loss off" plan
tho eggs are candled and the seller
Is not paid for the bad oties. This Is
a good plan, but the seller should be
a witness to the candling to guard
against a rotten deal.
Dr. Max Staller of Mount Slnnl hos
pital. Philadelphia, has successfully
used the lining of eggshells as a sub
stltutu for human skin In grafting op
erations. This lining Is really the epi
dermis of embryonic chickens, con
tains cells similar to human skin,
quickly adheres to tho burned surface
and covers It wltb beautiful new skin.
