The chief, difference between the

The savage may be master over other

ABUSE OF BASEBALL
Why Professional BALI Playing is Harm

Why Professional Ball Playing is Harmful
to the Cause of Physical Training.
Every true friend of athletics must
regret the use that is being made of
this game in the professional field. It
is, of course, a misnomer to apply the
term athletic exercise, in its ordinary
sense, to professional baseball game.
The men who manage these games,
and those wh3 engage in them, do so
without any idea of the physical
benefits that may be derived from
them. The benefits sought after are
financial and not PHYSICAL; the develop
ment of the pocket-book and not of the
muscle. The character and aims of
the professional ball clubs are very
much the same as that of the theatrical
troupes travelling around the country.
1t is the gate-money in the one case
and the box-office receipts in the other
that constitutes the chief end of ex-
istence in the view of the management.
Both ente rprises are conducted on
q purely meroenary basis. It is, there
fore, just as far short of the truth to
speak of professional game of ball as
having any real connection with
physical training as it is to speak of a
professional theatrical performance
having any connection with the train
ing OF mind and morals. Contests
where physical strength and skill are
the nnly elements set of against each
other, where the struggle is fair and
honest, with no particular end in view
except that of success, are very differ
ent from contests carried on BY
salaried professionals in professional
way and with only a professional end
in view. Whatever good, in short,
may come from professional ball
playing, it can hardly be in the way
of physical good. We doubt very
much whether any good of any kind
comes from it. The relation which
the professional game assumes to bear
to real athletic sports is false
relation, and it can not be
less than harmful to the
higher cause of physical education.
AS game like that Of ball descends
more and more to the level of b,4st.
ness. it becomes less and less q means
OF recreation. We say as it de
scends," for we regard the game Of
ball in itself as q noble, manly and
healthful sport, and to bring it to the
level Of the travelling circus and the
variety show is, in our opinion, a de.
cided degradation. The parallel be-
tween the professional ball club and the
travelling circus might be carried
further than the mere business feat
ure The rroundings and concomi
tants. But we shall content ourselves
for the present with pointing out the
abuse which has been put upon the
National game BY making it mer
catch-penny show. This it has become
and nothing more. y Obserwr.

SELECTION OF MEATS.

Hints That Every Good Housewife Should
Learn by Heart.
Chow do you tell good beef - re-
peated health board physician after
q reporter. II will tell you. Good
beef has a reddish-brown color, and
contains no clots of blood. Well
nourished beeves furnish flesh which
while raw is marked with spots OF
white fat; it is firm and compact Old,
lean animals furnish flesh which
is tough, dry and dark; the fat
is yellow. Veal is slightly red
dish and has tender white tibers.
The fat is not distributed through
the lean, as in beef. The same is
true of mutton. In well-nourished
animals white fat accumulates along
the borders of the muscles. Pork is
rose red, and has fat distributed
through the muscles. The Lard 10
white and lies in heavy deposits under
the skin. Good beef is not of a pale
pink color. and such q color indicates
that the animal was diseased. Good
beef does not have dark purple hue,
for this color is evidence that the ami
mail has not been slaughtered, but died
with blood in its body, or has suffered
from acute febrile affection. Good beet
has no, or but little, odor; if any odor is
peroeptible, it is not disagreeable. In
judging as to the odor of meat pass
q clean knife, which had been dinnad
in hot water. through it and examine
subsequently as to the odor Of the
knife. Tainted meat often gives of q
plainly perceptible and disagreeable
odor while being cooked. Good meat
is elastic to the touch. Meat that ia
wet and flabby should be discarded. It
should not become gelatinous after
being kept in . cool place for two days,
but should remain dry on the surface
and firm to the touch. IN. 7. Mail and

GOING BACK I'D HIS OLD HABITS.
John Zachar, the Wisconsin, Faster.
Begins to Eat Again After Fifty.
Three DayS.

Three Dayss
RACINE, Wis, July 12-John Zachar, the Gale
donian faster, after an abstinence from food for
nfty-three days, has at last been induced TO eat.
His story is most remarkable one. and, although
much has been said about IL, the true reason for
hts wonderful taSt was not positively known until
to-day. Some time during last March or April
Zachaf and his father had some difficulty In REF
erence TO wages or a distribution OF property.
This so worked upon Zachars mind that he be-
came morose and evidently led him TO undertake
TO starye himself. The estrangement Of father
and son was complete, for during the entire time
OF his fast Zachar's father never visited hlm nor
even inquired after his health.
WHY zACHAR TRIED TO sTARvE HIMSELF
An old friend OF the family learned the facts and
arranged for meeting between father and son,
and seriously over Their dificuities, aud iinaiiy
matters were settled Then Zachar declared that
he would eat and endeavor TO live. Accordingly
he was given few spoonfuls OF milk, although he
did not retain It, and at Intervals during the
afternoon took milk with pulverized crackers In
IT. This did not seem 10 give hlm any pain, but
he could not retain particle Of the food
FRARFuLLY EMAoIATEp.
He seems unusually bright and feels certain
that he Will live. Zachar presents a revolt ng ap-
pearance. He has not shaved since he commenced
mis- last and his hair and beard hang down over
his face. He is terribly emaciated, being reduced
from $50 pounds 10 80. His eyes are dull and
heavy, the lids dropping down over them as
though there was not SUFFICIENT strength TO hold
them up. He reminds one or person In the last
stages OF consumption. His skin Is dry and Is Ike
parchment while his bones protrude prominently
from all parts OF his body. In reference 70 the
new turn taken by the case, local papers say that
IL Is probable that with proper care the patient
will live and ultimately recover his wonted health
The local profession do not look upon his fast as
an absolutely genuine one, insisting that he must
have taken substantial nourishment, because II
would have been absolutely impossible for him tc
have lived so long. Those who have been with
him constantly say he mas taken NO nourishment
for 1rty three days
