of last week on baSe ball matters, the
Lewiston journal says:
"From the fact hat Skowhegan pco-

We beg TO inform the journal that base

because he is Il Republican, young man
of character, culture, ability, energy, II

MAKING A MAS |"
How Pretty and Mischievous Senortas
 Do It in Mexico.

l
 Do It in Mexico.
 The stranger in Mexico, especially if he be young and good-looking, is liable to be considerably surprised at his first ball here, when some pretty senorita whom he has never seen be- fore, trips up to him with an engaging smile on her face and something that looks like an egg in her hand, and sud- denly smashes the latter over his cranium. To one not acquainted with the cascarone custom it is startling. to say the least. Luckily. however the egg has been robbed of it's usual in terior, the original contents having been emptied through small hole at one end The shell is then refilled with finely-chopped tinsel and colored paper, perhaps with the addition Of perfumed satchet powder or some dainty trinkets, after which the open ing is neatly closed by bit of paper pasted over it.
 In the good old days of the Spanish aristocracy the egg-shells to be used by the proud grandees at swell fan dangos were filled with gold and diamond dust. Similar extravagances are sometimes indulged in nowadays. but rarely. Occasionally small gold coins, charms, pearls, opals OF spiced candies are stuffed in with the chopped tinsel. making the advertisement rather expensive. One can buy very pretty cascarones, however. for about dollar dozen, and it is quite the cor rect thing for belle or beau to go to a ball armed with several dozen of them.
 Often the shells are hand painted or otherwise beautifully decorated, much like Easter eggs in the North. Society matrons who propose giving balls dur ing the cascarone season have the shells of all the eggs used in the house. hold carefully saved for the purpose. and many an hour is spent by herself and friends in filling and decorating them. The act of breaking casca- rome on another's head Is considered a compliment to the recipient, who feels i in duty bound to return the honor at the first opportunity. Previous ac- quaintance is not essential, it being of itself sort of informal introduction. Thus tuy Mexican lady may literally make a mash" on every strange gentleman who pleases her, and with out offending her eountrymen's ex- tremely sensioiye notions of propriety- - M-ttco Letter
