How to Captain a Ball Team.

A captain should be well posted in all
the rules of the game and understand
perfectly every point of play. Heshould
be one of the best players in the team,
since respect for his authority will in
crease if he is able to do what he ex-
poets of his players. He should have
supreme control on the field and his
players should ebey him implicitly. He
should study the strong and weak points
of all the opposing players in batting,
fielding and running, so as to take imme-
diate advantage Of any weak points in
their play. It is his duty to have every
player try for sacrifice hit" when
necessary, and if he does not the player
should be fined or disciplined in some
way. The captain should be supported
in his authority in all respects by the
management of club

Articles from MiIL

1.-THE first food of man" has been put
to many uses and converted into many
forms by human ingenuity, but its latest
application is perhaps the most remark
able.
An inventor has just taken out patent
to protect a substitute for bone or cellu-
lold, and the material which is to take
the place of these substances is produced
from milk. Caseine-the albuminoid sub
stance in milk-is in the first place re-
duced to partly gelatinous condition
by means of borax or ammonia, and
then it is mixed with mineral salt dis
solved in acid or water, which LIQUID is
subsequently evaporated.
/ The resulting product is called .slac-
tites," and can be nodded into any de-
sired form
BY the admixture of pigments or dyes
any color may be impaired to it, but the
creamy white color natural to the sub-
stance is most beautiful, being a yery
close Imitation of ivory. Combs, billiard
balls, brush backs, knife handles and all
other articles for which ivory, bone or
celluloid are employed can be made of
this new product of milk.
A company under the designation of
"Lactile" Qimite0 has commenced the
manufacture of this milk ivory in Che.

woMEn's INTEREST IN THE FAIR.
Mrs. Potter Palmer Gives an Account of
Her Trip to Europe.

Mrs. Potter Palmer Gives an Account of
Her Trip to Europe.
Among the passengers on the steamer
Normannia were Mr.. and Mrs. Potter Palm
er, who have spent the last three months
in Europe. 1t is already known that Mrs.
Palmer received cordial reception abroad
as president of the board of lady managers
of the Chicago Worlds fair. In talking of
her trip she said:
''I went abroad for rest and recreation,
and had no intention of doing any work
for the board of lady managers, because
most of the foreign governments had not
yet accepted the invitation to participate
in the fair, and consequently could not be
approached on the subject of the commit
tees of ladies which we so desired to form.
When 1 reached London, through the
kindness of our minister, Mr.. Lincoln,
was presented to many persons who took
great interest in the work of the board of
lady managers.
Among these were the Princess Chris
tian, Lord Salisbury and Baroness Burdett-
Coutts. The Princess Christian is notable
for her active work for the women of Eng
Land, and gives much c: her time to aid
self supporting women. She suggested at
once that committee should be formed,
but as we wished this to come from the
government we were obliged to wait until
the appointment of the royal commission.
'When L reached Vienna I found that
Austria had not yet accepted the invitation
of our government. They will undoubt-
edly accept later. Princess Metternich, the
Archduchess Marie Theresa, the Duchess
of Cumberland, and the Baroness Lange-
nau are all ready to ask for the recognition
of committee of women as soon as the
proper moment arrives.
"In Paris the women who have been
recognized by the government in connec-
ton with the Congress of Feminine Works
and Institutions at the exposition of 1889
asked for an interview, and a day was ap-
pointed for them to call on me. expect
ed ten or twelve, but forty-two came, as
well as many influential senators and depu-
ties. They represented all the prominent
charities and institutions of France.
Among those present were M. Jules Simon,
NJ and Mime. Jules Seigfried, Nine. de
Moister, Nine. Bogelot, who represented
France at the International Council OF
Women at Washington two years ago;
Mime. Julie Martin and many others.
1.-THE members of our own board present
were Mrs. Russell Harrison, one of our
vice presidents; Mrs. General Logan, OF
Washington; Miss Sarah L. Hallowell, of
Chicago, and Miss Lillian Brown, of Mis-
souri,. We had full discussion of the
possibilities of recognition by France, and
1t was decided to form at once a committee
that should make an official request for
recognition by the government. New

A Hot Day Joke.

A man who made up in girth what he
lacked in height excited the amuse-
ment Of passengers on one of the Jersey
City ferryboats one of the recent hot
mornings by the way the weather affect
ed him. When he came on board he re-
moved his hat. and leaning his head for
ward the perspiration streamed from
him as If he were an caves trough dur
ing sharp shower. In about two min.
utes he took his hat off again, and spout
ed quite as copiously as before. His fell
low passengers, who had watched his
salutatory operation with something akin
to sympathy, smiled as he favored them
with an encore. Presently he exuded
another torrent, and as the passengers
began laughing one of them remarked:
ssThere won't be anything left of you
by night except grease spot if you keep
on this way, my friend"
That's what my wife said before left
home" replied the sufferer good humor-
edly, ''and said I'd be sure to find some
friends to. send my gravy home. So i
put myself in your hands,"
The laugh was on the would be wag,
who found another part of the boat more
to his comfort, while the human lava
tory was allowed to continue his anti
fat ablutions undisturbed. New York

How to Prevent worms i'm Book..

There is little insect called aglossa
pinguinalis which deposits its Larvae in
books in the autumn. These produce a
mite which does great deal of mischief.
Small wood boring beetles also cause a
good deal of destruction among the covers
and binding. The best preventive is the
use of mineral salts in the binding.
Where this is not done sprinkle the book
shelves with powdered alum and pepper
and rub the books once or twice year
with a piece of cloth that has been STEPPED
in solution of alum and dried. This
will effectually prevent the ravages of
the aglossa pinguinalis.

How to Prepare Bird skeletons.

Perfect skeletons of birds and small
animals may be obtained by placing
them singly in a wooden box, just large
enough to receive the animal fixed in
the position desired. Perforate the box
with numerous small holes and place it
on an anthill In an incredibly short
time the ants will have performed the
required operation. They will leave the
bones beautifully polished and the joints
and sinews untouched, as they feed only
upon the flesh. In this way an excellent
miniature museum of natural history can
be formed at very little cost.

How to Cure stinrs of Ins.ct.,

When stung by a bee. wasp or mos
quito Immediately plunge the affected
part into or bathe with salt and water.
If this is not available make paste of
some clay and water and apply it to the
sting. Bathing with laudanum, harts-
horn or camphorated spirits is also use
full. Should bee or wasp be swallowed
dissolve teaspoonful Of table salt in
water and drink it. This will immedi-
ately kill the insect and prevent the
sting lnAa1ning your throat. Should a
sting become very painful and infamed
the blood must be in a bad state; and
it is well to take strong purgative and
refrain from animal food for few days.

The Most Artistic Dwelling in New York.
Probably the most artistic as well as
beautiful house in New York is the home
of ex-Mayor Abram S. Hewitt, on the
southeast corner of Lexington avenue and
Twenty-second street, formerly the home
of his father-in-law, Peter Cooper. Within
the past few years the house has been thor
oughly remodeled and refurnished from
top to bottom. The great drawing room,
which is perfectly square, Is decorated in
Louis XVI style, and for the most part is
furnished with articles of the same period.
Crimson danask silk covers the walls, and
curtains of the same material drape the
windows. The center of the ceiling is
dome shaped, and from the center hangs a
large alabaster lamp, mounted in gilded
bronze. Among the exquisite articles in
the room is a Louis XIV harp, gilded and
carved, with its sounding board covered
with beautifully painted flowers and mu-
sical instruments. 1t is said to be repro
duction of the harp once owned by Marie
Anf6inette
The small drawing room, which is along
side of the larger apartment, is in Louis
XIV style, and in its furniture are seen
three distinct styles in vogue during the
reign of that monarch. Pale silk of a
greenish gray shade is used to cover the
walls. The silken portieres are an exact
copy In texture, color and pattern OF the
bedroom hangings designed by Philippe
de La Sale and presented to the Dauphin,
afterward Louis XVI. upon his marriage
with the Archduchess Marie Antoinette by
the city of Lyons. Oriental porcelains,
Chinese enamels and pieces of rare china
fill the tables and cabinets.
Another beautiful room in Mr.. Hewitt's
mouse is the dining room, thoroughly Re
naissance in style. Both ceiling and walls
are paneled in natural wood, the former
being copied from an original ceiling in one
of the old baronial houses of England. The
carved furniture and window hangings are
an exact reproduction of the period. Grim
son is the prevailing tint A particularly
interesting feature of this room is the
painted freize about the entire room of
women and children playing with fruits
and flowers. 1t was purchased by Mr.
Hewitt off the walls of a decaying Venetian
palace. Other interesting places in the
house are the music room, the library,
which is on the first floor, and the marble
hallways.-New York Sun.
