ASTORIA - - - OKEGOK PRESENCE OF MIND.! GIRLS SHOULD ACQUIRE IT. The Duty of PareHts Teach. Your Children the Art or Self- Control. Presence of mind is a quality much talked of, much honored, and little cultivated ; yet, like most other good things in this world, requires culti vation to bring it to any degree of perfection, for in very few cases is it a natural gift. Some people there are, doubtless, to whom it comes naturally and by instinct to do the right thing at the right time and place, but they are few in number. Then, again, some people are by nature cooler-headed than their neighbors, and do not scream and otherwise become useless Just when their services are required. But this quiet composure, though very valuable, is not quite the same as presence of mind. The latter consists not only in having your wita ready for use, but in knowing how to use them and being sufficiently calm and steady in mind to remember and turn to account that knowledge. From the earliest possible age children should be taught self-control and the instinct of trying to remedy any mistake or accident they may encounter. Teach your child', if he cuts himself anywhere, at once to hold the two sides of the cut tightly together, to stop the bleeding, and then to cry if ho likes ; instead of, a3 children usually do, dancing about, howling and shaking the wounded part violently, thus making it bleed and smart doubly. Show him that if he burns or scorches him self, he can save himself much pain by covering the place with wet soap, or cold cream, or fuller's earth, or violet powder, all or any of which are pretty sure to be within reach in the nursery. But if boys require to be taught self-control, doubly so do girls. Having, by nature, weaker nerves and a more vivid imagination, they shrink from pain, suffering, and danger in a fashion utterly unin telligible to their brothers. But the more natural this shrinking is, the more carefully should they be taught to govern it. Girls should acquire at least the rudiments of nursing, and learn the best and easiest attainable remedies for the or dinary accidents of daily life, just as certainly and as a matter of course as they are taught to sew and to read. Especially should quiet and coolness be impressed upon them. Calmness is not insensibility, though many people confound them. A girl is not hard-hearted and unfeeling because she can witness painful sights, and if need be lend a steady, firm band to the doctor or nurse. On the contrary, she has usually twenty times the sympathy and un selfish kindness of that delicate little damsel who has no command what ever over herself, and fills the room with shrieks, winding up by running away the very moment an extra hand might be useful. It mayseem harsh to say so, but those "dainty bodies, who are so utterly useless at any emergency, or, as their friends plead, "so highly endowed with sensibility " (those who are not their friends make unpleasant reference to " folly " and " hysterics "), are gen erally selfish and self-absorbed to a degree utterly unintelligible to their more sober sisters, who are taught to forget self and control both mind and body by their large-hearted sympathy with, and comprehension or, suffering. But the sick room is not the only place where presence of mind is required. Scarcely a day passes when we do not more or less require it. Thank goodness the notion Uiat women should faint or go into h'sterics for the smallest thing is pretty well exploded ; still, even yet the opposite lesson might be more strongly inculcated. Toronto Globe. The Neglected 'Oletfes. A woman is out of her element un less she is acquainted to a certain extent with sciences of bake-ology, boil-ology, stitch-ology, make-ology, and mend-ology. There never was a greater blunder than to substiute good looks for good qualities. The reason why so many men do not make homes for themselves in these days is because they cannot afford it. The women are too much averse to working, and too extravagant in all their tastes. "We want more fru gality, industry, and Bystem; if we could introduce these virtues into our higher society, we should dimin ish the envy, jealousy, and suicides of the single, and the wretchedness, the bickering, and the divorces of the married. Philadelphia Press. Yes, and It Always Will Be. The truth is that "personal poli tics" has been a feature of every na tion's politics since long before the Athenian cast his clam-shell ballot against Aristides because he was tired of hearing him called "the just" The personal morals of a candidate have been and always will be justly a feature of politics, be cause the personal character of a man is as important as his political principles. To appoint a swindler, a drunkard, or a professed libertine to office is a sure means of under mining organized society, of which politics is only one phase, and not tho greatest one.- Philadelphia News. HowBasc Balls Are Made. At least 10.000,000 base balls are made and sola in this country every year. Perhaps very few persons know the process by which these balls are manufactured, or the nature of the stuffs used in constructing a standard ball. The most expert workmen are employed. First there is a little hard rubber ball, and around that the wrapper winds a strong blue coarse yarn. When this reaches a prescribed size it is firmly wrapped with white Venetian yarn. The balls are then placed in an oven and baked until all the moisture is taken out of them, and they are reduced in size. This makes them solid. After this they are coated with cement. This causes the balls to retain their shape, and they can not be knocked crooked. Then comes some fine blue yarn, and around tho whole is placed fine white gillingtwine. Tho balls are weighed, for each must be of a certain weight, and are now ready for the covers. These latter are made of the best qual ity of horse hide. The cover consists of two pieces, each cut in the shape of the figure "8." By bending one section one way and tho other in an opposite direction a complete cover is obtained. That was the discovery of a college boy. For years the balls were covered with four pieces of leather, but the genius of the college chap has proved of great benefit to the manufacturers. At one time two covers were placed upon a ball. That is, the ball was half made when it was covered, and then another ball constructed over it. But even that did not prevent its being knocked out of shape, They cannot knock the hall as now made, though, be cause the cement holds it. A little machine owned by a Philadelphia firm is used for winding the balls. It is the only one in the world, wraps two and one-half ounces of the American Association balls in a minute, and the rest is finished by hand. That apparatus is a little wonder. It does its work as neatly as if it had brains, but is capable, says its owners, of a good deal of improvement. Exchange.
