where his unusual skill attracted the at-
tentiOn Of some newspaper reporters. One
of the latter recommended him to the
BinghamtoD manager in the spring, and
on the siren ,th of it he was engaged to
play third base for the Eastern league
club Of that place. In Binghamton his
work was phenomenal, and when the
Binghamtons finished the season in Sep
TENDER the New York. Brooklyn and ST.
Louis clubs all started out TO secure him.
BY paying bonus for his release the first
named carried off the prize.
This young man shows a remarkable
GOODNESS in his play for a new man. He is
very quick in his movements, a rapid base
runner, a good batter and a successful
third baseman. His only defect is the fact
that he is a left handed thrower. With the
exception Of Carpenter the profession has
never had any other left handed third
baseman. On balls close to the foul line
this popularity acts as handicap, but on
pickups toward second it is an advantage.

The talk OF children is a natural escape

is better, says the physician, TO turn a
child's mind 70 something childish and
superficial when il wishes to do or 10 know
things not suited to its age or capacity
than to satisfy, argue or explain
Children should be encouraged TO talk in
private about all the things, little and
great, that fill their minds. But let them
do the talking. If a child thinks that the
stars are gimlet holes in the floor of heaven
10 let the glory through, why not? 1t is
not necessary for children to have correct
views of the cosmogony of the universe.
Let them work out their little problems in

The Right Way to shos.

II women could but realize it, they dou BILE
their labor and add WEAKNESS to their own
flesh, and that of all with whom they come
in contact, by the haphazard way in which
they shop. 1t is just as easy to start off
after something you really want as to go
fooling around and trying to make up your
mind when you are In the midst Of the
crowd in the shops. AN eyesight" to
your need is a very important adjunct in a
shopping campaign, and the successful
buyer usually possesses it. One gains a
good deal of information concerning hu-
man nature in attending the bargain sales,
and if one has leisure she gains good deal
of amusement as Well by lingering little
around the most attractive counters. There
she sees ali sorts and conditions of women
There is the one who knows just what
she wants She has her memorandum
tablets in her hand and she goes from
counter TO counter making her purchases.
She knows the best bargain the moment
she sees il, and she secures it. She doesn't
stop to look at things she doesn't want;
not a DIT Of it. She attends strictly to
business and gets through with it, while
the fussy woman who doesn't know what
she wants is pulling over towels on the
counter. She is delight to the salesman
or saleswoman. and she gets served with
respect and dispa5ch.-New York Press.

This Is q .-ilrs. sign tna1 the ring has been
recently a-e.s {, around tie neck. After a
short TINT skin becomes calloused and
then the .s,nge ornament produces no
abrasion Tae weight is perpetual tax
upon the energies. In every crowd Of wom-
en- may be seen a number who are support
ing the ring with their hands. and thus for
a time are relieving their weary shoulders
of the burden.
Il ring Is never put around a woman's
neck until she is believed to have attained
her full physical Development. Once on it
is no easy matter to get il of. The natives
have no files, and although they can ham,
mer a lot of brass rods into one, it is very
difficult for them TO cut the thick mass OF
metal Women who increase largely in
flesh after the rings have been fastened on
their necks are in danger Of strangling to
death, and instances of this sort have oc-
Cured The women, however, regard the
cumbrous ornament with pride imagine
that it enhances their Importance and
beauty, aud wear their burdens with light
hearts Brass is the money of the country,
and in putting it around their wives necks
the men are certain that il will not be
stolen Or foolishly expended - Boston

II is now nearly thirty-hve years since
Miss Virginia Penny began her labors for
the working women o. this country. She
was then resident Of Louisville her birth
place. Thrown upon her own resources by
sudden financial reverses, she had become
teacher in a seminary for girls During
that period she realized how few avenues
of employment were open for women, espe-
cially in the south. where social pride
closed TO them most of the few branches of
work that they could, without loss Of
standing, enter in the north. When a leg
acy enabled her TO 60 back TO a life Of ease
she concluded 20 investigate for herself the
question of woman's labors, and as far
back as 1855 she began the work to which
she has devoted the greater part OF her
life
at that time only seven occupations were
open to women in any part OF this country;
now. owing in considerable degree to her
labors, there are nearly 400, Her work was
OF the severest and most trying nature.
She visited the libraries of New York, Bos-
ton and Philadelphia, spending four years
in preliminary Investigations. She sent
thousands of circular letters TO merchants
and manufacturers, employed assistants
and visited between 5000 and 5000 shops
and stores--New York Sun
