GIRLS AS ATHLETES.

Carroll Institute Ladies' Class Showed
Their Ability to Turn Handsprings.
The match game Of basket ball which
was played at the Carroll Institute, Thursday
afternoon, by the members of the ladies' class,
passed off most successfully, and it was
doubtful which enjoyed themselves more,
the audience or the players. The sterner sex
were vigorously excluded. Previous to the
game the regular class exercises were gone
through.
The exercises followed each other rapidly,
varied occasionally by special "tricks" by the
star members of the class, such as climbing
the pole, making birds nests, skinning the
cat, turning back somersaults Off the parallel
bars, etc.. which were performed with great
proficiency, as indeed was everything under
taken by the class.
A potato race proved exciting, being so
closely contested. and resulted in victory
for the tall captain of the white ties.
Prof. Joyce did himself up both literally
and ilguratively. With a glass of water on
his forehead, he performed tricks which held
the audience spelbound. The only trick
with water attempted by the girls was the
emptying of large water cooler by dipping
glass and hands indiscriminately into its
cooling depths.
The game of basket ball was the piece de

scrambling counts for anything, then they
may lay the flattering unction to their souls
that for once they were completely success
full. At first it seemed a grand potpourri of
girls, ball, Turkish trousers. hairpins and
hcwls, varied only by the removal OF the
scrimmage TO other quarters Of the gymna-
stun. As neither side scored a point, it is
probable that the audience is still in doubt as
to the object in stationing small boy at each
basket
That girls can keep a ball moving was
clearly demonstrated, the failure to score be-
ing due solely TO the excellent work OF "in-
terfering" done by both sides. After two
rounds the game was called a draw. The
participants retired in quest of praise and
Ponds Extract, and the audience departed,
deeply impressed with the enthusiasm as well
as the science of the class who give to Car
roll Institute unanimous vote of thanks for
their kindness in opening to the women of
Washington a place where they may grow
strong, graceful and happy.

Isinglass is very strengthening. and should

When man helps his wife with her work

The cracks in loaves are caused usually by
too much flour being used in the kneadinS,
making the loaf too stiff. When the batter is
set at night sufficient flour is added to make

SLIDING DOWN A MOUNTAIN.
He Made $500 Feet in Three and Half
Minutes.
from the Chattanooga Times ]

rum Tue SuditdIOpBd llntsl
A short, compactly built man, with heavy
blonde moustache, took a toboggan slide
down Lookout mountain the other afternoon.
He went viz the incline, and made the trip
from the Point hotel to the engine-house, a
distance of 4.500 feet, in three and one-half
minutes, which is just one-third the time it
takes car to descend. Fully one hundred
people saw him make the lightning-like de-
scent, and all were greatly excited. The
nervy coaster, however, was as cool as the
proverbial cucumber, and upon reaching the
foot of the mountain, walked away as coolly
as though 1t had taken him an hour to de-
scend
About o'clock the coaster appeared at the
Point hotel with what appeared to be block
of wood about eight inches square under his
arm. On one side OF the block was steel
horseshoe, in the curve OF which was a small
flanged wheel. The other side OF the block was
slightly conclave The block was put on the
outside rail Of the incline. the wheel fitting
close. and the horns Of the horseshoe were on
either side.
Then the man put heavy glove on his
right hand, and, sitting down on the block,
started down the mountain without more
ado. He held his feet crossed straight and be-
fore him, and rested them on the iron rail.
For few feet the little one-wheeled car
moved slowly, and then the speed increased
until it and its human freight were going
down the mountain at a rate that made the
spectators hold their breath. When a curve
was reached the coaster slowed up slightly by
pressing his heels against the rails and
steadied himself by touching the cable with
his Sloved hand.
Finally, when he reached the very heavy
grade just above the engine-house. he took of
all brakes and came down like a shot out of a
gun. Arriving at the bottom he put on the
'.heel' brakes and gently came to a stop just
in the depot. Coolly rising from his queer
vehicle he placed it under his arm and walked
quietly away before any of the astonished
spectators had a chance to recover their
breath or ask any questions.
