Quito Water Porters.

Around a. fountain in one of thu
principal squares of Quito assemble
every morning the city's aguadores.
These water porters differ from the

OF mules. '"Their earthen jars are

He turns his back to the fountain

the jets Of water, listens to the sound
of the water in the jars, and his ear
is so we'll trained that he always
walks away at the exact moment
when it is filled to the brim.

BASEBALLS BY THE MILLION.

Made by Girls Out Of Rubber Yarn
and Horsehide.
GLOW many baseballs are used up
in the United States in a year,"
"How do you expect meto answer
q question like that?" said the base
ball manager to Washington Star
reporter. "Somewhere up in the
hundreds of thousands, I should
judge. Nearly. all OF them are made
in Philadelphia and Natick, Mass.
Two great concerns in those cities
turn them out and other firms buy
from them, printing their own trade
marks on the covers. All the league
clubs get their base balls for nothing,
the advertisement they give to a
brand by using it being considered an
equivalent. This is an important
item, iuasmuch as half dozen base
ball are often lost or destroyed in a
single game"
Glow are baseballs NADER"
'"They are made by girls, if you will

into a. pasteboard box for MARKET"
''There were no such baseballs in
old times"
mo, the baseball of to-day was
not invented until 1875. And by the
way, the inventor never got q cent for
his patent. Twenty years ago a
baseball was made with, a core, OF
leather strips one ounce in weight,
wrapped with yarn and covered.
This was found too lively, and so a
little sphere of moulded rubber OF
finest quality was substituted for a
core. The trouble with a. ball thus
made was that it could not be de-
pended upon for any given degree OF
elasticity. No two balls would be just
alike in this respect, however care
fully they were constructed, and each
particular ball varied from day to
day, according as the weather was dry
or damp. The inner cover now en-
ployed has the effect of regulating the
elasticity OF the ball, at the same
time keeping it compact and in shape.
Cheap baseballs are made of poor
yarn and rubber scraps pressed into
a pulp, the lowest grade being COM
posed of nothing more than melted
remnants of rubber Shoes

A FACE DREAM.

What sweet and gentle face is this
4 That smiles upon me in my dreams?
i What red lips learn my lips to kiss,
What golden hair around ME CLEANS?
Something in all I seem to know
Face, Smiles and curls oflong ago!
Here, bending weary at my desk
And feeling all that haye felt,
The dreary street grows picturesque,
Its noises rude in music melt;
And sorrow finds sweet release ss.
While lips thatloved me whisper, "Peace!'
All! one who loved me in the days 81. s.
Which memory with her wreath adorns;
When violets blossomed in the ways
And roses climbed above the thorns;
Who knew not what it was to be
Less than world of love to me!

After the storm around my eyes!

And dies with sunlight on its breast!

A Question OF Discipline.

A German was boasting in the pres

obedience and discipline OF the Ger
man Army, citing numerous instances
from the war between France and
Germany.
Gentlemen" replied one of the
Russians, what you say about the
discipline in the German army
amounts to nothing at all compared
with what occurs continually in the
Russian army. But will merely re-
cite one instance of what occurred at
the beginning of the reign of the Gar,
Nicholas, when the discipline in the
Russian army was comparatively
lax. At that time, before the tele-
graph was discovered the Russians
used signal stations, which were few
miles apart. The soldier made a sig
nal which was repeated by the soldier
at the next station, and thus the news
WAS conveyed thousands of miles.
"One, day q soldier at station
near St.. Petersburg did not see the
signal in time. and dreading the
punishment that awaited him for his
negligence, deliberately hung himself
on the signal tower. The soldier at
the next station mistook this for a
signal, so he deliberately but prompt
II hung himself, also. In consequence
OF the discipline in the Russian army,
next day it was discovered that all
the soldiers at the signal ,stations
from st. Petersburg to Warsaw had
hung themselves on their signal
towers. OF course much stricter dis
cipline prevails at present, and
