Eating Lemons.

A good deal has been said through the
papers about the healthfulness of lem
ons. The latest advice is how to use
them so that they will do the mostgood,
as follows Most people know the BEN
eft of lemonade before breakfast, but
few know that it is more than doubled
by taking another at night also. The
way to get the better of the bilious sys-
tenn without blue pills or quinine is to
take the juice of one, two or three lem
ons, asappetite Graves, in as much ice
water as makes it pleasant to drink
without sugar, before going to bed. In
the morning, on rising, at least q halt
hour before breakfast, take the juice of
one lemon in a goblet of Water This
will clear the system of humor and bile
with efficiency, without any of the
weakening effects of ealomel or CON
gress water. People should not irritate
the stomach by eating lemons clear; the
powerful acid of the Juice, which is al
ways most corrosive. invariably pro-
duces Inflammation after awhile. but,
properly diluted. so that it does not
burn or draw the throat, it does its
medical work without harm, and, when
the stonachi is clear of food, has abun-
dant opportunity to work over the sys-
tenn thoroughly, says medical author

Base Tall OF the Future.

The game certainly amt what it
used to be-" said Mr.. j. G. Higdon. to
a journal reporter. ''Let me tell you
why" said he. Base ball is first
class exercise if taken in moderate
quantities and as now played by the
League mines is undoubtedly good sport
for the onloOkers, but it kills the men.
This will not do. The game is alto
rether too violent. 1t must be made
more scientific and less dangerous, and
it will do. Why, even inside of twenty
four months we can expect to see the
now over-worked pitcher will have lit
tie more 10 do than place the ball in a
catapult or spring gun that will tNrow
perfect strikes, curved of course to
suit the pleasure of the operator, but
nothing wild. 1t will be almost an i'm
possibility to hit anything from the
gun. but there will be no killed men.
for the machine will put the ball over
the home base with the certainty of a
rifle shot. The curves will be indeScrib-
able. The ball will dart from the muz-
zle of the gun and probably make a
lunge toward the lemonade stand or
SJdTI OuG IlhC IL ny, OuI IL VIII di"dy >
manage to get around over home base
in season to be called strike"
Rather rough on the catcher" com
mented the reporter.
''Whv, no; the catcher would have a
very easy time. Every ball from the
gun would be caught in canvas shute,
not of large size, either, for you must
bear in mind there will be no wild
pitcher. and upon striking the shute
the ball drops into the hands of the
catcher, who can be stationed behind
or on either side of the shute, is de
sired.
Certainly" said he. referring to the
pitching machine, '.any suitable ex-
plosive force could be used in the
machine - compressed air, explosive
gas or even gunpowder and dynamite
can be bridled and made to perform the
homework that is now imposed upon
the main players. ''-hGnsas CITY Jour
