The President has one popularity in regard
10 appointments 20 Oflice. which gives hls
Cabinet ana ms friends much concern. Even
when seemingly satisfied Of the fitness and
character OF tue applicant, and when the
need 20 I'M the vacancy sought Is urgent he
will not make a distinct cOmmittal. He keeps
his own COUNSEL moat rigidly, with perhaps the
single exception Of his private secretary, who,
~ the custodian NJ the Presidents coniiden-
tial papers, is necessarily familiar with an the
applica ions for Office, and with the intended
decision IN every case.
When Mr.. Pearson WAS appointed p0stmas-

be prudent policy, but u h. not calculated to

Farm Hands NYnnted.

While there are yet thousands of labor
ers idle in the cities and mining villages
of Pennsylvania there is almost an I'M
precedented scarcity OF farm hands in
that State. AS the spring advances the
demand for labor increases, but the sup
ply appears, as accounts from all parts Of
the State indicate, to be very lin
tied. 1t is said that the supply of skilled
farm labor is very far below the demand,
it being almost impossible to obtain men
VINO know how to chop, pillow, hoe, milk
COWS and NOW, although the farmers
keep standing orders at the employment
agencies in the different cities and ad-
vertise in the various local papers.
1t seems that the idle labOrers and me-
chauics from the cities are slow to avail
themselves of tn. opportunity to secure
places on the farms. They dislike very
much to leave their old haunts and go
into the country. The wages offered
by the farmers lock very low to men
who have been accustomed to get
from 81 to 81 per day. Besides, these men
are unaccustomed to farm labor, and can
not command the wages OF trst-rate farm
hands for three or four months. They are
generally able-bodied, intelligent men,
however, and would make a very superior
class OF farm laborers.
1t is said that those who have left the
foundries and mines and gone to work
on the farms are very much pleased
with the change. While the wages appear
to be low, when it is considered that the
men get free board and are not exposed
to daily, almost hourly, temptations to
spend money uselessly, they are much
better of than when they receive twice
the amount in the cities. The healthtul-
ness Of farm labor is another thing that
commends it. Men who leave the cities
pale and debilitated from Initiated, old aud
irregular habits, soon become rud-
dy and strong on the farms. The chances
for accommodating money and becoming
tenant farmers, and eventually land own
ers, are easily improved by industrious
and frugal labOrers, and after awhile they
are charmed with the freedom and other
blessings of country life.
No doubt the rural population viii be
largely added to from the ranks Of the
idle laborers during the spring ana sum
mer, and the farmers as we'll as the
laborers be greatly benefited by the
change,

why They Can't Catch a BAH Thrown
from the Top of the Washington MOnu-
ment.
From the Sporting Life.
Apropos of the attempt of a number Of ball
players to catch ball dropped from the top of
expressed to the ability of any one to ac-
complish the feat, the question arises if any
of them has an idea of the velocity acquired
by ball dropped from height of $50 feet by
the time II strikes the ground.
The experiment was tried by Paul Hines,
sam Trott Charlie Snyder, Phil Baker and
others, but none succeeded in holding it.
Now the fact is that bali so dropped has
velocity Of ISL feet per second when it strikes
the ground. The velocity can be better COM
pretended by comparing it with batted ball.
The longest hit which the writer has any
knowledge Of was made by George Wright at
indianapolis when the bail struck the ground
few inches over 200 yards. The ball, in this
instance, was hit into the air at an angle of
about As degrees-the most favorable angle
for long hit.
Without giving the formula, I VIII state
that, as near as can be calculated. the angle
and the distance being given. the initial
velocity of the ball in tbls case is found to be
about 100 feet per second.
Allowing the same bali to have been hit in
the same direction, at the same angle. with
sufficient force to give it the same velocity at
the starting point that it requires IN falling
from the monument top, it would haye gone
544 yards.
Would any of the players like to take hold
of a line hit, of the same force, at short field?

The Pennsylvania iron men are still
trying TO maintain prices, aud convince
themselves that they are in no danger from
Southern competition. They show the
statistics of production, in which it ap-
pears that the South only makes about
One-twellth OF the iron that IS made in
this country, and that the amount ship
ped North each month is yet compara-
lively small. They attribute the effect that
a few thousand tons Of Southern iron has
had on the Eastern markets more to sur
prise and nervousness among holders
than 10 the showing that iron can be ship
ped from the South and sold below the
prices Of that produced in the North.
The assertion is made that there is alb
solutely 40 danger OF southern iron taking
any considerable place in the market for
a great many years, and the probability is
that the Pennsylvania producers have
already organized in order 10 buy up all
iron that is put on sale in competition
with that Of their own production. This
last move can not do them any permanent
good. 1t tends to build up the very CON-
petitOrs they wish 10 discourage. Il is
probably true, however, that nearly all
the Southern iron now going \ crth is be-
ing delivered to consumers under con-
tracts which have yet considerable
-Aeuglh OF time TO run. and it viii have ITS
eftect In depressing prices by lessening
the demand for Northern iron without
ever going into the open market at all.
The fact that the production OF iron is
steadily increasing in the South, while it
is steadily decreasing in the North is one
that cannot be suppressed. The Pennsyl-
vania iron men may whistle to keep their
courage up, but they must face the
fact that they cannot ignore the
Southern iron men. who in the near future
will be their great competitors for the iron
trade.
