change.

Schicker was thrown out of the

in the first inning. That is Just
what doc" Sage should have done
with him yesterday.
Secretary McHugh of the local
association has made the first move
toward strengthening the club. and
wise one. too, by instructing Man
ager Sage to sign kreig. the hard
hitting first baseman of the Macon
club. of the Southern league. Kreig
is also a catcher and good all
around man. O'Connor will be re-
leased for dissipation. and others are
likely to walk the plank for the same
fault. Mr. McHugh has determined
TO weed out every drinking man on
the team. a purpose which all lovers
of the game will applaud. To this
end others will follow OConnor
likely. and a team signed that will

able of doing were the players all of
the sobriety class Mr.. McHugh is
seeking.

Publicity the Best Policeman.

Many people are in the habit OF complaining
bitterly OF the Intrusion OF the newspaper re-
porter into every nook and corner OF the state
and even into the privacy of home; but in this
extreme publicity is really TO be found a new
means OF social. industrial and governmental
reform and progress. As Emerson said, Light
is the best policeman" TAere are many eXag-
gerations, perversons and inaccuracies in this
publicity; but on the whole il is a benefcent
anu new agency for the promotion
Of the public welfare. Publicity ex-
poses not only wickednesS, but also
folly and bad Judgment. 1t makes crime
and political corruption more difficult and far
less attractive. The forger, burglar and cor
ruptionst need secrecy for two Teasons-firsr
that they may succeed in their crimes; and
secondly. that they may enjoy the fruits of
their wickedness. The most callous sinner

Sensitive Horses.

Harsh treatment, though it stop short
of inficting physical pain, keeps nerv-
GUS horse in a state of misery. On the
other hand, it is perfectly true, as be-
sotted but intelligent stable keeper once
observed to me, "a kind word for a boss
is as good sometimes as feed of oats"
A single blow may be enough to spoil
a racer. Daniel Lambert, founder Of
the Lambert branch of the Morgan fam
lily, was thought as a 3-year-old to be
the fastest trotting stallion of his day.
He was very handsome, stylish, intel
ligent horse, and also extremely sensi-
tive.
His driver, Dan Mace, though one of
the best reinsmen in America, once made
the mistake, through i'll temper or bad
judgment, of giving Daniel Lambert q
severe cut with the whip, and that sim
gle blow put an end to his usefulness as a
trotter. He became wild and ungoyern-
able in harness and remained so for the
rest of his life.
In dealing with horse more than with
most animals one ought to exercise pa
tience, care and above all the power of
sympathy, so as to know if possible the
real motive of his doing or refusing to
do this or that To acquire such knowl-
edge and to act upon it when required
is a large part of the ethics of horse.

a hundred OF more little bales of goods,
bearing odd markings, but showing that
they We're destined for firm in Texas,
doing business in town near tho Mex
lean line.
DO you know asked my compan-
ion, why those goods are put up in
such small packages?''
Upon replying in the negative he con-
tinued: They are to be smuggled across
the Mexican line. The goods are pur-
chased in their original packages and
delivered here. The wooden boxes are
discarded, and the goods subjected to
hydraulic pressure and baled. Each
bale contains about so pieces, or half the
number of an ordinary dry goods case.
THE goods are then shipped to Tex
as, and all marks removed. When all
is arranged, some night the little bales
are slung across the backs of mules,
two bales to each animal, and with an
armed escort the train proceeds over the
border to some distributing point in
Mexico, where the goods are sold to Mex
lean traders at q good profit.
Smuggling in this manner is quite
extensively carried on between this
country and Mexico, the United States
getting in return for its dry goods,

Americas Only Frostless Belt.

What issupposed to be the only frost
less belt in the United States lies be-
tween the city Of Los Angeles and the
Pacific ocean. 1t traverses the foothills
of the Cahuenga range and has an ele-
walton of between zoo and 400 feet. In
breadth it Is perhaps three miles. The
waters of the Pacific are visible from
it, and the proximity of the ocean has
of course something to do with Danish
ing frosts. During the winter season
this tract produces tomatoes, peas,
beans and other tender vegetables, and
here the lemon fourishes, a tree that is
peculiarly susceptible TO cold. Tropical
trees may be also cultivated with sue
cess, and in connection with this fact it
is interesting to know that part of the
favored territory has been acquired by
Los Angeles for park purposes, and it
is only aquestion of time when the city
will have the unique distinction of pos
sessing the only tropical park in the
United States. Strange to say, only
the midway region of the Cahuenga
range is free from frost, the lower part
Of the valley being occasionally visited.

Abrogating the Fees.

Mrs. Pigg, very charming and viva
cious widow, called recently on a legal
friend of hers to consult him on matter
of interest to her.
"You know, sir" she said to him. ''that
when the late Mr.. Pigg died he left me
all his fortune, much to my satisfaction,
of course, but he handicapped me with
the name of Pigg, which must say
don't like"
"Well, ventured the attorney, II pre-
sumo handsome woman isn't especially
complimented by being left Pigg."
81 should say not" she laughed.
"Now, what came to see you about was
whether or not must apply to the legis-
lature to get it changed"
"Um-er." he hesitated as if wrestling
with great legal problem. ''um-er-

TRAINING BOTH HANDS ALIKE.
No Good Reason Yet Advanced why 10
Should Not BE Done.


Should Not BE Done.
In one of his essays in book en-
titled Brushwood, !" the late James T.
Fields wrote: "If were boy again,
think would learn to use my left hand
just as freely as my right one, SO that
if anything happened to lame either of
them the other would be all ready to
write and hapdle things just as freely
as If nothing had occurred" And I'M
doubtedly a great many of US would
learn to use both hands alike If we had
our lives to live over again. OF all the
young women who came under my in
struction while in charge of the School
of Domestic Economy of the Iowa Ag-
ricultural college, not more than one in
twenty-five could sweep properly. The
ratio in this respect of those who came
under my instruction ct Purdue univer-
sity was about the same. And as far
as my observation extends this ratio
will hold in regard to women generally.
As rule, women, old and young, do
not know how to handle broom. Their
right hands only have been trained.
Their left hands have been neglected.
When women takes hold of broom
it is with the right hand near the top
of the handle and the left hand toward
the corn, and instead of changing and
reversing them as occasion demands
she always keeps them in the same po-
sition. Whether she sweeps to the right
or to the left, the position of her hands
remains unchanged. And her body is
contorted and Ter muscles strained in
the performance of an operation that
would exercise these organs harmonious
ly, if the hands were so trained that
they could be used at will and were
changed as demanded by the changes in
the position of the sweeper.
refer to women sweeping merely to
illustrate my point. The same can be
said concerning the training of the
hands in numerous other branches of
women's work that it is unnecessary to
mention, and so far as the use of the
left hand is concerned men are in no
better condition than women Men and
women are in this respect manned and
handicapped alike. Why should such
a state of things exist? Why, in this
age of manual training, should we over
look and neglect the education Of the
left hand and continue to train the
right hand at the expense of the left?
No physician or Psychologist has ever
given a sensible reason for go doing,
and we seem 10 adhere to the custom
merely because ithas been carried down
to us by our ancestors. -Jenness Miller

THs BALLOON IN Battle.
How 1t Is sIaraSe,l and Information Trans
lnitted and Resolved.

How 1t Is ctafsG%etl ana information Trans
raitted and Received.
Balloon and wagon have formed juno
ton and are ready to start with the
troops. Away goes the wagon, with the
balloon hanging on to its tail, while the
attendant sappers on each side keep it
steady. The train moves along at good
round pace, easily keeping up with or
even passing the infantry, and makes for
the particular spot at which it has been
determined to commence balloon opera
tions, which is usually on the top of
good high hill.
An ascent is an easy enough matter
and is soon accomplished. The balloon
is securely fixed to the end of the wire
rope, and the two men who are to ascend
take their places. At the word of COM
mand the men who have been holding
down the car let go, and up shoots the
balloon, unwinding the rope as it rises
and allowed sometimes to ascend to o
height of 1000 feet. And suppose the
officer receives instructions to move the
position of the balloon, is it necessary to
harl it down? Not bit of IT, A man
is placed at the end of the wagon who
carefully guides the connecting rope so
that it cannot get entang;ed OF run risk
of being cut, and away goef the wagon,
sometimes at trot across fields and up
and down hill. until the balloon itself is
long distance away from its original
station. Next, suppose that it is neces-
sary to lower the balloon. Is it needful
to wind in all the wire rope that has been
paid out from the reels? No such thing.
The balloon is brought to earth in a
much more expeditions manner.
A long, stout pole, in the middle Of
which is pulley wheel, is laid across
the rope. Half dozen men seize the
pole and run it along the rope, and their
weight soon brings the balloon down to
the ground. Passengers can then be ex-
changed, or any other operation can be
carried on, and then the men run the
pole back, and up shoots the balloon
again many hundreds of feet into the
air, without having been away from its
exalted position more than few minutes.
But it is not necessary to lower the bal
loon in this or any other way whenever
it is required that messages should be
exchanged between those below and those
above. There are various contrivances
for doing this. Sometimes, for instance,
wire is attached, through which mes
sages can be sent to a telephone. Another
plan is to send messages down the wire
cable. A little wire hook is fastened
around the cable, and the letter or pa
per, weighted with small sandbag, is
sent fluttering down. The human voice,
it may also be added, can be heard both
from considerable height and depth, SO
that verbal communication is not difficult
if there is no wind.-Good Words.
