The interesting fact was learned
by New York Mail and Express
reporter that the hides Of about :
900 horses and the skins of at least
ten times as many sheep are cut up
into coverings for baseballs in this
city every season. BY one manu-
facturer alone three tons of yarn are
used a year for the insides ofbase-
balls. The hide and skin used is
perfectly white, being alum tanned
and comes from Philadelphia. Out
of one horses hide the coverings for
twelve dozen balls are cut, and out
of one sheep-skin three dozen. Two
strips Of the leather are required for
each ball, cut wide and rounding at
each end so that they fit into each
other whenput around the yarn ball.
Each piece, for League ball,is seven
inches long, by two inches wide at
the rounded ends. The pieces are
cut with die. Old fashioned blue
Shaker yarn is used for the inside
of a League bali, which is wound
around slnalI ruDper ball, weigh
ing exactly one ounce. The inn
proved League ball has now double
coverings Of horsehide, which IS re-
garde'i as a great improvement 1t
is also stitched with gut. The balls
are made entirely by hand and it re-
quires no little skill to shape them
perfectly round. This is done by
placing them in nm iron cup about
the size of the ball and striking it
with mallet at different stages Of
the winding. Men do this work
they easily make ten dozen League
balls in day and from forty to fifty
dozen ordinary baseballs in the same
length of time. Their wages are
$3.50 day. Woman sew tho cover
ings together ON the ball +; this re-
quires considerable skill and strong
finger muscles they can sew from
two and half to three dozen League
balls day, and from Ia to l6 dozen
Of the cheaper grades; they are paid
by the piece, ninety cents dozen
for the League work and ten cents a
doz. for the others. They earn about
$l2 week. The balls are sewed
with what is known as Barker's fax,
which comes in red. blue, orange
and pink colors. The finest balls
are sewed with pink. Horsehide
covered balls are made in fourteen
different varieties.

Pearls OfTlaOugllt.

Education is to the mind, what sun
light is to the fruit and flower; it ex-
pands and ripens it.
Flattery is counterfeit coin offered
TO vanity. Vanity is near-sighted and
can't tell the base from the true
metal.
Some of the greatest crimes have
their beginning in slight indiscretion,
as the largest fruits spring from small
buds.
True politeness is the last touch OF
noble character, 'It is the gold on
the spire, the sunlight on the corn
field.
Contentedness in all accidents brings
great peace of spirit, and is the great
and only instrument of temporal felic-
ity.
When a misfortune happens to q
friend look forward and endeavor to
prevent the same thing from happen
ing to yourself.
Life, according to an Arabic pro
verb, is composed of two parts-that
which is past, dream that which is
! to come. q wish.
An old proyerb says: "An unkind
words falls easily from the tongue,
but coach and six horses can not
bring it back.
One or two things must be done in
this country. Parents must spend
money to educate their children, or
they must pay taxes to build peniten
tiaries to punish crime.
Judge no one by his relations, what
ever criticisms you pass upon his
companions. Relations, like features
are thrust upon US; companions, Like
clothes, are more or less our own
selection
One of the saddest things about
life is that, that with so much power
to help others by kindliness of word
and kindness ofact. many of us pass
through the world in silence or with
folded hands.

THE SIM OF LIE.
BY MANUEL DE LEYoNE.

b1 MAN LIE 1ONEs
Do you think, when God shall gather her
back,
Reach out and take her to himself
again,
Up out of the dust and desolate track,
That all that is wretched and wrong will
remain.
Ny friend, come, listeni He made her SO;
He made her feet,and He made the road.
His purpose in making no man may
know
He made; but man may tighten the load.
You say that the marks and the merciless
scars
That rude man make on the blackboard
now
Shall still stand out like a night of stars,
When kind Death, kneeling, shall kiss
her brow?
Nay. nay. as surely as you are born,
tell you that God shall take her again;
AS fair and white as that fair first morn
He set her feet in her path Of pain!
His hand to the high blackboard shall
reach.
And backward, and forward, again ana
again,
Shall sweep as a teacher who loves to
teach,
Till not one error in the sum remain.

GENTLY understand their interests and
exert their influence, combined with
that of the consumers, to compel
reform. They should be satisfied with no
concession less Than the treatment of the
VINE consumer on as fair terms as the tea
and coffee drinker. IL the interest of the
bar-room in the hotel is too great an Oh
siacle, 1t may be well to inquire into the
propriety of licensing both institutions un-
dsr one control
The reform that is demanded would be
OF great moral, as well as industrial. adj
vantage. The millions of dollars annually
expended on tea from China and coffee
from Central and South America, if turned
to the benefit of home industry, would
be worth far more than dozen reciprocity
treaties. and the public health would be
vastly improved. The ignorant cassitica-
ton OF sound wine with spirituous drinks
Is notion fast disappearing, ami the over
whelinlng testimony of nations is in favor
OF giving the greatest encouragement to
viticulture. A broad distinction must be
| made by all social reformers between nat
ural iermented wine and distilled spirits.
In all agitation of high licenses, public
policy should insist on low taxation of
saloons where only fermented drinks are
sold
Our industry, through excise laws and
municipal regulations, brings us into close
contact with the Government; hence vine
growers need to be well informed as 10 pub
lie affairs. As the wealth of the State de-
ponds largely upon our success, we have
right also to appeal to the sympathies of
all classes of citizens.
