THE STOUT GIRL.
Her Inst Intellectual Attempt to Prevent
an Increase In Weight

Her Inst Intellectual Attempt to Prevent
an Increase In Weight.
There was society girl who was get
ting stout and almost going out of her
mind in consequence, says New York
letter. She went on diet and stopped
drinking champagne, but the flesh
would not melt, only increased Final
ly, in the privacy of her own apartments
one day, this unhappy creature took q
solemn oath that she would not again
let out the strings of her corset
II believe" she said, ''that if do not
give way to the flesh the flesh will give
way to me-"
Satisfied that this was q brilliant
theory the young lady had herself
weighed md the scales marked one
hundred and forty pounds.
"That's my limit" she muttcrcd. ST
will not allow another pound to take
up an abiding place upon my body The
corset will save me if never let it out"
The girl at once purchased wonder
full corset that was calculated to incase
and restrain about all the rcbcllious de-
velopmcnts that might exist between
the shoulders and the knees. 1t was u
terrible garment, that would have been
greatly treasured by the managers of
the Spanish inquisition, and the young
lady contemplated it with delighted
smile. The corset was religiously worn
for two months, during which time its
strings were not touched by it's fair
owner, and as she did not feel herself
crowded beyond endurance and her
friends, who realized that she was sem
sitivc concerning her stoutness, did not
make any remarks about her personal
appearance, she grew complaccnt, and
her life was again serene JOY to her.
At the end Of two months she carefully
went to tho same scales upon which she
had before weighed herself Dropping
in her nickel she waited happily while
the music played, and then picked up
the small card which fell ont of the
aperture OF the scale. Then she grew
stir and pale and awful. Anyone glanc-
ing over her shoulder would have seen
that the figures registered upon the
card She held in her trembling hand
were one hundred and flfty-scvcn
pounds. With great gasp she started
for home. Arriving there she sum-
moncd her maid.
"Havc you dared to touch these new
corsets OF mine?" she cried cxcitcdly.
"Havc you dared to meddlc with the
strings during the last few months?"
"Why-yes." stammcrcd the timid
maid; IL have had TO let them ont re.

A BASEBALL DOG.

He Plays n Good Gnme with His Master
stalwart Negro.
a Scotch collie dog on Lookout noun
tain, Tenn. has been taught to play
baseball with his master, a stalwart
negro.
1t is strictly game between pitcher
and catcher, and two balls are used. AS
catcher, the dog shows not only re-
makable agility and skill, but study
OF his movements forces the conviction
that by closely observing all the mo-
tions of the pitcher he is able to calcu-
late for position, distance and style of
ball, and thus almost infallibly to catch
the sphere, if it is fairly pitched.
His activity, enthusiasm, strict atten-
ton to the game and steadiness of nerve
before noisy crowd of admirers, are
remarkable. The game is "a silent one.
The pitcher does not speak, and the dog
utters no sound. a slight motion of the
hand or head by the pitcher indicates to
the agile catcher what style Of ball is to
be pitched; and the dog quickly takes
his position and attitude accordingly.
The baseball club of two members
plays two styles of the game, which
may be respectively called "walking"
and stationary" games. In the one
the pitcher moves onward at n moder-
ate walk, the catcher being long dis
lance in advance, and sharply alert as
the first of the two balls is pitched.
He cannot throw the ball back; and
to carry it all the way would make the
game too slow to suit his active temper
anhcnt. He has learned the speed OF
the pitchers walk, and swiftly running
back a certain distance, drops the bail
and gets again at catching distance as
the pitcher sends ball number two and
stoops to pick up MI mber one, which
has been deposited where it will be con-
vcnient for him.
In the stationary game the pitcher
stands still and the catcher regulates
his distance by motions of the pitchers
hand, which indicates the style of pitch
ing he is to cXpect-a "hot liner" long,
short, high or low, or one which he is
to catch on the single bound. He is
equally successful at all, and seldom
misses.
This dog is about two years old, and
has been playing on system nearly a
year. younger brothc, of this
sagacious dog is nearly always prcscn.

such big holes in ships that they would
Leak" said Fred.
''They often do" answered papa;
'yet this is quite valuable fish. The
fishermen of Sicily believe that when
sword-fish hears single italian word
it dives and cannot be caught. So they
try to be very quiet when they are sword
fishing"
"How do folks catch sword-fsh?"
asked Fred.
1.-The men throw a harpoon and line"
answered papa, land the harpoon lodges
in the sword-fish just as your fork is
now lodging in that piece of sword fish
you are about to eat"
Fred removed his fork, saying: eyes,
papa, will be more careful, and not
use my fork as would a harpoon. But
what do the sword-fsh eat?"
"Mackerel chiefly. They catch these
by happening them with their swords.
l will take you down to Uncle Wills to
see sword-fish's sword which is five
feet long. Its edges are rather rough
where the fish knocked portions of it
off against lodges. The fishermen of
Maine who go sword-fshing polish
these swords with sand-paper, and sell
them for ornaments at the rate of five
dollars apiece. The flesh of the fish
they sell either sailed or fresh. They
can tell when n sword-fish is coming,
for one of its fins will be above the
water"
81 think I had rather eat a sword fish
than to meet one" said Hal.
Guess you couldn't eat whole one, -

Rev. w. E. Smith was installed as pastor
of the Central Presbyte rian Church last
evening with due ceremony. The 1aber-

pulpit made vacant by the resignation OF
DIR. Ellis. After an organ prelude Rev. W.
Ii. Mcfarland invoked the divine blessing.

THE ANIMALS HOME.
An Official Visit TO the New Pound
on Harrison Street.
The Place Not Quite Completed, But the Wis
itors Are Profoundly Impressed by the
Change of Methods.

AS outlined in THE CALL week ago, the
new plan of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals has taken effect in
many notifications of the old pound sys-,
TEN, as conducted on the approved princi-
pies of Lindo ruffianism.
In those days, ana they are fresh in the
memories even of the young generation,
hordes of ward bummers, heeler5, FOUNDERS
and plug uglies were accustomed to terrorize
peaceful citizens, insult unprotected house
wives and carry off with brutal violence any
stray animals in their path. Ii has been
shown beyond contradiction that the I'M
happy dogs whose owners did not pay
prompt tribute to the Buckley-Lindo sack
were butchered under conditions revolving
to common humanity. The poor ours were
quite commonly beaten over the heads with
crowbars, hatchets and anything handy,
if they did not promptly drown in the tank.
Pound keeper Partridge and Superin-
tendent Brown were on hand yesterday to
show the Mayor, Supervisors. representa-
tives of the press and invited guests that
poor dog, doomed to die. would now ard
henceforward receive his Quietus in the
lethal chamber already described in THE
CALL. The asphyXiating element does its
