Pastimes of City Bows.


A singular game has for its founda-
tion an ash barrel. Across the top OF
this is placed board two or three inches
in width, which projects about the same
distance over the rims of the barrel. On
one of these projecting ends a ball is bal
anced; the batsman then takes his bat
and with all his strength strikes the
other end Of the board. The ball flies
up and away in before unknown direc-
ton, and the batsman, should he not be
caught out, attempts to run to base
and return before the ball can be felded
''home."

how to fly kite; they never seem able

THE PHYSICIAN AS A pEspor.
We Know the Doctor Is Ta1iible. Yet We
Trust Him Implicitly.

We Know the Doctor Is Faiib1e, Yet We
Trust Him Implicitly.
Without any pretense of faith in any
doctor who is not regular, and without
prejudice to sincere intention of call
ing in thoroughly instructed and ex-
pert practitioner whenever occasion de-
mands, it is still permissible to smile
aniably at the professional jealousy of
quacks. The successful physician, with
exceptions which happily are much moro
numerous than they were, is the most
intolerant despot on earth. And we en-
courage him to be SO.
We are vaguely aware of the limita-
tions of his knowledge; we know that
he has to guess first what is the matter
with us, and next what will do us good,
and that though there are facts his ac-
quaintance with which helps him to
guess right, many theories that regulate
his professional action are still hypothet-
ical, and may or may not be correct.
We know that he has discovered that
many of the methods his father used
were unwise and deleterious, and that
the doses his grandfather gave often
hastened the result they were intended
to prevent and hindered what they were
designed to induce.
We know not only that he is a man,
and therefore fallible, but that his pro-
fessional science, like his fathers and
grandfather's, is progressive, and is still
very far from being exact. Neverthe
less when anything ails us, in spite of
all we know of his limitations, we fly to
him as though he were all wise, and do
as nearly what he tells us as our flesh
and our pockets permit. For we believe
that, erring and inadequate as he is, he
knows more than we do, and that his
knowledge is, on the whole, the best that
is at our command.
The childlike trust in our physicians
is phenomenon which is creditable to
us and to our doctors, and from which
we both get benefit. Undoubtedly our
physicians do us good, and indeed they
ought to, even if they knew less and
guessed less fortunately than they do,
else were faith much less potent virtue
than it is declared to be.
But it is one thing for us to flock of
our own accord to the doctors, and quite
another thing for those professional
gentlemen to hold that we shall come
to them and to none else, and that
we may neither be legitimately born,
nor die legally, except with the concur
renee of the learned faculty. y.-Scribn

A Machine That Makes and Cooks sausages

One of the novelties at the st. Pancras
exhibition in London, England, was a
sausage machine, driven by electric mo-
tor. In conjunction with this machine
it has been proposed to employ an electra
heating attachment, whereby the savory
dish can be delivered cooked and smok-
ing hot to the purchaser. 1t begins to
look as if the shrewd individual who
conceived the idea of universal pig
utilizing machine, into which the animal
could be put at one end, to emerge at the
other as cured hams and blacking brushes,
was no visionary. but only prophet a
little in advance of his times.-St. Louis

RATTLE-HEADED MEN.
Some Blame the Horse, but 1t Is
More Often the Driver.

Some Blame the Horse, but 1t Is
More Often the Driver.
We hear great deal about the rattle
headed horses, but very little about the
rattle-headed men, yet we will venture
the assertion that there are in this coun-
try ten rattle-headed men, horsemen we
mean, to every one rattle-headed horse.
This may not be an elegant expression,
but there can be a great MANY solid
facts stated about the horse business
that are not elegant. Think how often
we have seen a good and noble horse
lose race through the mismanagement
of rattle-headed driver, and who is il
that cannot call to mind from one to a
dozen phenomenal prospects that have
been regarded into state of innocuous
desuetude by the same cause?
Drivers are not the only class of horse
men that are subject to attacks of this
peculiar kind of malada cerebral, for it
is frequently the case that it is the own
er's rattIe-headedneSs that brings wreck
and ruin to the prospect. Then, too,
men sometimes get rattle-headed on
blood lines and particular phases on the
breeding problem.
b Owners sometimes get "rattle-headed''
about their own particular stock, so
much so that they can see no earthly
merit in anything they do not own.
We have known breeders who would
talk for hours in dilating upon the
greatness of the blood lines of their own
belongings, and then prattle the year
round about the breeding of neigh
boris stock that were bred in exactly
the same lines of his own stock. There
is no ''horse sense" in this kind of bust
ness.
A driver that cannot keep "himself
together aud use cool, calculating
Judgment from wire to wire and in all
kinds of close places is not fit to sit in
sulky; and breeder that cannot rec.
ognize the merits of the various strains
OF blood and the good qualities of any
animal, whether he owns it or not. is nc
more fit for breeder than an anarchist
would be fit for Queen Victoria's head
cook. Observation-Disclosures beats brill.
fancy in most all avocations of life, and
especially is this SO in the horse bus.

GARCIA IS NOT DEAD,
But Is Moving Toward the Rio
GPande

BROWNSVILLE. Tex. Sept. Cot is
reported from up-river points that
Garcia's force OF revolutionists
in Mexico is receiving daily
reinforcements from this side of
the river. Small parties from Texas
frontier counties are crossing at differ
ent points between here and Laredo.
There is a large element of discontinued
Mexicans IN these counties. Hard times
and lack of employment, and the
Inherent. love of anything savoring
of revolution make them ready
recruits. Garcia is still reported
making toward the Rio Grande, closely
pursued by Mexican troops. An en-
gagement was expected to-day. The
few United States soldiers stationed on
the Texan frontier are all in the field
watching the river crossings. Fort
Brown is occupied now by the post sur
geon and teamster. All others avaiIa-
bic are out, and they MUNGER hardly
number more than corporaPs guard.
