bic desire to master the intricacies of the
newly created "curve" pitch at Princeton
made a genuine baseball enthusiast of him.
He got the curve down so fine at length that
he became terror to all the opponents OF
the Princeton nine, and when old Nassau
thrice won the championsip hand running,
the Jubllant Prlncetonians said that young
Smith won them the victory by his mimi
table curved pitching. 1t was while he was
shooting hot curves over the batters plate
and reveling IL outdoor sports that young
Smith made up his mind that he was cut cut
by nature for preacher as well as a pitcher,
and he plunged into the study of theology
with JUST IS much enthusiasm as he showed
in knocking out those who tried to tackle
his curved balls.
He became great favorite with Dr. Nc
Gosh, himself an ardent admirer Of muscli.
lar Christians, and the venerable Presby-
terial divine gave him hearty assistance IN
his theological studies. he graduated 1T
Princeton as class day orator and the most
popular student of his class. and went 70
Auburn Seminary 10 complete his training
for the ministry. He kept on playing bail
rs recreation while he was storing away
theological knowledge, and bis fame spread
far and wide in college athletic circles as
the preaehe pitcher In lSsa he accepted
call to the Presbyterian church at Caze-
novia, N Y. HIS three years of successful
pastorate there was marked by frequent
participation IN sport On the ball field, and
DC still found time for his favorite recrea-
ton whe a cali 10 the First Presbyterian
Church OF Cleveland gave him larger and
more iIn portant field OF church labor.
In the first year Of his pastorate in Cleve-

bed is not required, and cold frames answer
the purpose perfectly. These are frames
or boxes constructed similarly to those
used for hot-beds, but without excavation,
and without heating manure. The varying
requirements of the different kinds of
plants renderi it somewhat difficult to raise
them all in one and the same bed. It can
be accomplished, perhaps, by having the
excavation and the heating manure only
under part of the bed, say under two sash
es ard run third sash as cold-frame. We
would then range the plants according to
their degree of hardness, and beginning on
the hot-bed end, as follows: Egg plant
pepper, tomato, caulifiower, cabbage and
lettuce, and give more freely and frequent

Horse-manure may be the cheapest ma
terial for heating such hot-beds, one good
load being sufficient for two sashes. l 90

swamp muck or peat mixed with hen-ma-

heaping it up in a compact, conical pile and
leaving 1t until fermentation has well set

TO cover the heap lightly with loose litter,

the work of saving souls in this town at the
handsome salary of 81 900 year, an amount
which, it is said, is larger than was ever be-

are termed 'cold-frames." Plants are

The few plants that the home grower may

self
A good way Of raising tomato, pepper and
egg plants, especially for sale, is in boxes
or fats as mentioned for kitchen-win-
dow culture. Instead of the six or eight
inches Of soil, place only an inch or SO Of
sand upon the warm manure, and then
crowd in the " fats" A few such boxes
may often be sown thickly to tomatoes, and
placed in a sunny window some weeks
previous to making the hot-bed. and the
plants picked out and transferred to other
fats, and placed in the hot-bed when ready.
This plan is especially to be recommended
in case the hot-bed can not be made early
enough. Give each plant plenty Of room,
say three inches square.
Cabbage, caulifiower and lettuce plants
for earliest crop are also frequently grown
in such beds. but they require cooler tenn
