GIVE HOPE A CHANGE.

The poet who wrote "Hope springs eternal in the human breast" probably looked ahead and saw with his poetic wis ion the baseball cranks of New Haven hoping year after year that the New Haven aggregation of ball tossers would win the pennant, or at least last through the sea- son. He probably saw the springing of the hope that has sprung up around Mich ols, Luff, Geer, Tipper, Galligan, Walsh, Lally, Schoeneck, Lang, Doran and the others who at first in hopeful and at last in hopeless procession have moved across the baseball mind in Now Haven. And es- pecially did he see the hope which sprung in the early spring of 1892 when Shannon and his earth blowers came into view. Oh, what fresh, undaunted and eternally springing hope that wasl How the hap less and hopeless past faded before Sandy" Grifin's base hits, Fournier's fantastic curves and Morrissey's sturdy reception of hot liners ''at frst!" Such hope as that made the cranks warm as they sat on the bleak "bleachers" and 1t kept off pneumo- 1uu IAoAO Aoo DooA Q oAohEo. Hope is still springing, but the spring is, ae it were, somewhat weakened. It is all ready to spring more, but it is little du- bious about the prefitableness of it. We therefore call upon Shannon and his as- sistants to proceed without delay to justi- fly hope in springing as it used to do. It is not right that poets vision should be brought to naught in New Haven because of failure to "play ball" Rise up, Shannon, Fournier, Gruber, Blsns6eld, ct al. and show yourselves worthy the pres cience of the poet and the hope of the hopers. If you don't we fear that hope will not continue to spring eternal in the human breasts of the baseball cranks of New Haven, and that dull despair and mocking cynicism will usurp her cheer full swaya "Are ye wid usa'

HARD KICKING.

" Acu Iuo ACuOC4ntAo O1StOAb 0hA AOW6- papers really begin the work of kicking against the plicks in the coming campaign they will find it hard. Especially hard will it be to kick against the tariff which they said was going to bring disaster. The tariff of 1890 was accused of adding to the alleged burden of taxa tion resting on the people, whereas it materially reduced that burden by the sweeping additions made to the free list, of articles wherein the foreign product did not compete with any established or practicable American industry. Thus dur ing the twelve months ending March 31, 1889, the articles imported free of duty amounted to 34.65 per cent. of the total imports, while during the twelve months ending March 31, 1892, the imrortations free of duty constituted 55.13 per cent of the total. In the matter of exports and imports the figures for the same year yield some instructive results. In the year ending March 31. 1889, the total amount of exports from the United States was $733, ,681, ,725; in the year ending on the corresponding date in 1892 the amount was $1, ,101, , ,505 ,279, an increase of $277,- 923, ,554, or nearly 40 per cent. increase in three years. On the former date the i'm. ports reached $73S, 590, ,533, and on the lat ter, $832, ,09s, ,765, an increase of $93, ,50S,. 232. In the last year of Cleveland's ad ministration under the old tariff the balance of trade was against the United States to the extent of $4, sos, sos; in the latest year of Harrison's administration under the "commerce strangliug tariff" oi 1890 we sold more to foreign nations thar we bought from them, to the extent o1 $175, ,4O6, ,514 on largely increased volum, 1 of business.
 l And in this connection it is we'll to re
 mark that reciprocity treaties have been il effect with Brazil and Cuba for 8 year
 with Puerto Rico and Santo Domingo fo
 seven months, with Salvador and the Brit
 ish West Indies for two months. As com
 pared with similar periods of the preced
 ing year, before reciprocity went into eff
 feet with them, our total trade with then
 is more than $50, ,000, ,0O0 greater.

A NOBLE GIFT.
 The action of Mrs. Boardman in giving $30, 900 to further manual training of the young in New Haven is one of those cheer full and cheering incidents which it is good to record and pleasant to praise. The giyer will have the great and real sstisfsc- ton of knowing that her benefcence is practical and useful. She can have no better monument than the school whose founding she has provided for. And those who benefit by her well-directed generos- ity will have reason to honor and remem- Der her. She has set good example in @ community in which, we regret to say, such examples are not any too frequent. We congratulate her on the wisdom of her giving and those who will profit by it on the opportunities for education and useful ness it will bring them.

 The Committee ou Color Vision appoint ed last March by the British Royal sooie- ty have completed an elaborate report, in which they say that they are of opinion that tests which involve the naming of colors should be avoided in deciding the question of color blindness. Failure to satisfy these tests may be due to color ig norance, and lead to the rejection of per sons who are not really color-bnnd. A candidate who fails should be informed to what cause his failure is due, whether to color blindness or to color ignorance, with a view to subsequent re-examination in the latter case. After practical trials and also from theoretical considerations, the committee are of opinion that the simplest efficient test is the wool-test of Holmgren, applied either in the form which Holmgren him self recommends or in that of Jeaffreson, which is based on precisely the same prin- ciples. It is most important that the standard test-colors should be of proper character both as to hue and also as to di- lution with white, the efficiency of the test depending almost entirely on proper selection. The committee recommended that sealed patterns of all three test-colors should be kept by some central authority, such as the Board of Trade; and that every set of test-wools should be officially passed as fulfilling the necessary conditions as to these standard colors, and also as to the efficiency and variety of confusion colors.

HOME GYMNASTICS


 The subject of physical development has within the last few years attracted much attention. The relation of the physical to the mental and moral clements of exist enceis moo generally understood, ,and pride in strong, healthy and graceful body is no longer decried as sinful vanity, but is recognized as contributing to happy and useful manhood and womanhood.
 The gymnasium and the physical train ing class, common as they are, are not within the reach of everyone. It is possi- ble, however, without expense, without instructor, or apparatus, to take up sim ple form of calisthenic drill which may answer every purpose. An eminent phy- sician has said that if the following ex- ercises are taken every day for 8 year the beneficial effect will be very marked. Ten minutes in the morning and.ten at night give time enough, and while the exercise should be vigorous 1t should not be vio- lent. ss muscles are to be trained, not strained:
 First, stand perfectly straight with heels together and inflate the lungs with pure morning air from the open window, drawing in the breath while fifteen is be- ing counted, and exhaling it in the same way; repeat this eight or ten times. Then bring the arms forward at full length with the palms together and then throw them vigorously back trying to touch the backs: at first this will be difficult, but af. ter few days practice it can be done. Do this from twenty-five to fifty times. Then raise the arms as high as possible above the head with the palms outward, then lean slowly forward and touch the floor with the finger tips, keeping the knees perfectly straight. This, too, if hard, but not impossible, as will be found 1 after practice. Raise the arms gradually o,the first position and repeat the move ment twenty five to fifty times. Thil simple, "health cure' which, it is said will remove incipient lung disease, re quires only perseverance,. Try 1t.

 THE CARGO OF THE TYNEHEAD. Of the four ships laden with breadstuffs sent by America to Russia the Tynehead represents distinctly the benevolent spirit of American women. It's cargo came almost entirely from Iowa. Governor Boies appointed eleven women as state committes upon this work, the wife of ex- Governor Larrabee being it's president, ,and Miss Alice French, well-known by her pen name of "Octave Thanet," was secretary. Miss French gave up her literary work to visit the principal towns of the state, or ganizing bands of the Women's Auxiliary to the Red Cross society, and securing in ! one month subscriptions of more than | twenty thousand dollars. When money could not be spared the committee solic- from one bushel to carload of five hun dred and fifty bushels. In corn and cash 8 value of more than $40, 900 was realized | in Iowa. Collections were taken in the | churches, concerts and other entertain | ments given, and the school children gifts | of pennies and nickels amounted to hun dreds of dollars.
 l The grain offerings of 3,375 tons were consigned to Miss Clara Barton, in care of the Russian Consul at New York. They were transported by the railroad com panies, from the Missouri river to the seaboard, absolutely free of cost. The telegraph companies and express com panies made no charges, the collectors re- ceived no salaries or commissions, per sonsl expenses were paid out of private purses, and the grain when received in New York was inspected and placed in the | elevators without cost, SO that after all !, the cargo of the Tynehead represents not only the charitable work of Iowa women, but the admirable generosity of men, even of corporations so often declared to be | sou1less and grasping.
 Mrs. M. Louise Thomas and Mrs. Theophila Kraemer sailed for Russia in advance of the Tynehead. They will go to the hunger-stricken provinces of the Volga and will remain as long as their services are needed. nursing the sick and showing the peasants how to prepare the unfamiliar American grains in palatable and whole come food. Mrs. Kraemer has lived in Russia and is familiar with the language. She intends to establish diet kitchens and teach the practical art of cookery. The manager of the French line of steamers rendered passage to these ladies, and the expense of the Tynehesd's voyage hes been assumed by Miss Barton's friends in the city of Washington, while @ considerable sum ( f money remains in the hands of the Iowa State Treasurer which is at Miss Bar toms disposal for the purchase of pro- visions and hospital stores.
