BalI-Players Experiment.

At Washington the Boston League
players tried the experiment of catching
baseball tossed from the top of Wash
ington Monument. Nichols, Donovan
and Hodgman assembled to the top of the
Monument, carrying with them three,
balls. To get the direction of the wind
hat was first dropped, and was twenty
seconds reaching the Garth. Then came
the first ball. 1t was just seven seconds
before it struck terra firma, and out Of
the reach of any player. Although the
ball could be distinctly seen during its
entire flight, it was impossible to Judge
its course with any accuracy whatever.
The second ball was just six and one
quarter seconds in reaching the ground.
and again no one was within reach of it.
The third ball came down in the same
time as the second one, and with the
same result.-NeD York Telegram.

her jaw and was taken to the doctor,
who quickly reduced the dislocation

The physician was young man and

he ought to charge. and went into an.
other room and consulted table of
charges published by the local medical
society. This said: For reducing
dislocation of jaw, ono to three
guineas."
Tho patient was evidently in poor
circumstances, and the doctor forcsnw
that oven tho minimum fee was rot

by way of getting clow, whether She

Where Marbles Are Made.

Marbles are made in great quantities in
Saxony for export to India, China and
the United States. A hard calcareous
stone is used. This is broken into square
blocks, and about one hundred and fifty
of these blocks arc thrown into mill, in
which is fiat slab of stone with n,mer-
Gus concentrc burrows on It's face. a
block OF oak OF the same diameter as the
stone, part OF which rests on the small
stones, is made TO revolve on the slab
while water flows upon it. The whole
process requires but n quarter of an hour,
and one mill can turn out 20, 900 marbles
week. The mills at Oberstein, on the
Maize, in Germany, manufacture marbles
and agates especially for the American
market Chicago HcruM.

The SOnlals.

The Somals are ''kittle cattle" to deal
with. Armed to the teeth with spears.
daggers and clubs, they are equally skill
ful and reckless in the use of them. The
men live to fight and to talk; what work
gets done is done by the women. Tribal
wars arc incessant; sanguinary social
quarrels are of everyday occurrence, and
II death seldom ensues, it is because the
clnnsmen on either side are Jealous to
separate the combatants before the fine
for homicide, borne in common by the
relatives OF manslayer, is incurred
Camel driving is almost the only form of
masculine industry, yet it does not ap-
pear that time hangs heavy on the Somal's
hands. Hairdressing and dycing 0or he
aspires to Il blonde cbevelurc) agreeably
occupy good deal of it; and his por-
tentous and inexhaustible loquacity is
often INDUCED at the expense of sleep.
Ethnologically, the Somals may be de-
scribed rs ArabiZed Gallas. Although
not aboriginal, since traces of a prior
Misunderstanding and fsh-eating people
abound near the coast, they have prob
ably occupied their present territory for
some millenniums. Through the ex-
ample of Greek merchants trading to
Mosylon for myrrh and ivory, the Somals
substituted for partial clothing of skins
(Which e5en now survives among some
of their outcasts) the dignified ''sagum
Arsinoeticun;" and their present national
costume is perhaps the most purely
classical to be met with outside the
sphere of antique statuary 1t consists,
for men and women alike, of IL "to6e,"

OF this people is of high type, debascd
by the brutality of ages. The color of
their skin runs through all the shades of

A Korean Wall.

The Koreans have peculiar way of
building a wall by erecting two parallel
partitions, between which they pour
plaster OF mud and then remove the par
tltions, when the material solidifies.

The shoemaker's son had thrust his
body far through the window as he
spoke.
''Joe amt 'fraid o. nary thing liviu'l"
asserted his father, admiringly. "Jest

advised.
"Lasser It'll" added another, pushing
the rope i'll after him.
But Joe, inside, refused the rope, and,
following his fathers advice, flung open
the door, into which the crowd outside
pushed its way, while he boldly advanc-

''Jest to think what reedic'lous mess
