BASEBALL TALK.

Detroit has signed another Duck. He comes
from Toledo.
According to President Young's figures
Arson leads the League in batting.
O'Day is the only pitcher who is credited
with striking Arson out in twice one game
Pitcher Crane has equaled Sanders record
in keeping the Chicasos down to a single
hit
According to a Boston exchange over 5000
errors have been charged to the League play
ers this season, averaging about fifty each.
Proeser was signed by Tom Lotus on the
strength of his name as well as on his record
Tom says he didn't want any poetic pitchers
1t is low given out that Phillips and the
Pittsburg club have come to terms and that
he will remain at the head of the team an
other season.
The Kansas City club has purchased Left
Fielder James Burns from Omaha He is
said to be a good fielder, heavy hitter and
dashing base runner.
Young Dwyer has shown up well in
League company. Arson certainly has good
stock for next year in Van Haltren, Krock,
Baldwin, Tener, Dwyer, Gumbert and + yam
Dan Brouthers has won chair offered by
a Detroit firm for batting in the most runs
in the New York-Detroit serie, lyed last
week That was hardly an appropriate prize,
though.
1t is more than likely that Ad Gumbert
will sign with the Chicagos next season, as
Arson is giving him all the encouragement
possible and believes he will be a great
pitcher.
The worlds championship series includes
three games between the st. Louis Browns
and the New Works in New York, one each
in Brooklyn, Boston and Philadelphia and
three III st Louis
Duffy, of the Chicagos, is such an enthu-
siast that he does not take his uniform Off
after he reaches the grounds in the morning
until the game Is over. Arson thinks great
deal of the boy, and he comes very near to
being a ball player.
While on the recent trip to Pittsburg
big Roger Connor made wager with John
ME Ward that he could catch ball if it was
thrown from the court house tower, height
of 325 feet from the ground. When the man
selected to throw the bal tried to get into
the tower be failed, and the bet was declared

CARMEN siLvA,s THOUGHTS.

Study weil the human body; the mind b
not far or
Beware Of a man who seems to doubt
your married happiness.
If we are created after the image Of God.
we must in our turn be creators.
One needs knowledge of mankind before
one can bs simply and wholly ones self
Contradiction anirnates conversation; that
is why courts are generally monotonous.
Some people can defend themselves with
the horn of bull, others have but snails'
horns
Nan Is violin, and it Is only when the
last chord is broken that be becomes piece
of wood
prince has, in reality, need but Of eyes
and ears. his mouth only serving him for
smiling.
When we wish to affirm anything it is easy
to call on God as witness, for he never con
tradicts.
Mans honor means armor, and carries
mace; womans honor has only soft breezss
and perfumes
Princes are brought up to live with all the
world-al the world ought to be brought up
to live with princes.
Animals are free In their own element;
does cur slavery arise from our being so
rarely in our element
To have received many wounds will make
you a hero in the eyes of some, while others
will regard you as an invalid
Many persons criticise in order not to seem
ignorant; they do not know that indulgence
is a mari: Of the highest culture.
Man is an enigma from his birth to bis
death one thinks to understand him by dis
inside
These words of the Bible are often quoted:
Put not your trust in princes" but the end
Of the sentence is forgotten-''for they are
but men"
An assemblage of men is an accumulation
of 4Eolia.n harps, whose notes are discordant
or harmonious, according to the way the
wind blows.
One must either be pious or philosophical,
and either say: Lord, Thy will be donef' or,
Mature, l accept thy laws, even though
they crush me-
To be the friend Of sovereign one must
be without passion, without ambition, with
out selfshness-far seeing and clear seeing
in short, not man
To all mortals is given tongue, and some
times pen, with which to defend them
selves. Sovereigns alone are expected to be
like God, and to allow themselves to be
spoken ill of without making reply.

Prof. H. c. White, State Chemist, of
Georgia, gave this subject attention, and
wrote: 81 have been familiar for number
of years with the general character of Prof
Horsefords phosphate preparations. Re-
cent examinations made by me of his bak-
ing powder show it to be exactly what is
claimed for it, When mixed with water a
double phosphate is formed and remains in
the bread when baked. In ordinary cream
tartar baking powders the substance left in
the bread after raising is rochelle salts-a
double tartrate. The phosphates are useful
substances in animal nutrition and growth
the tartrates are not. In my opinion, the
phosphate powder is, therefore, preferable
to the others, so far as healthfulness is CON
