HOW THEY USED TO PITCH.
Those Were the Days When Baseball Wa
 Worth Seeing.

Those Were the Days When Baseball Was
 Worth Seeing.
 From the Cleveland Plain Dealer,l the captain, as we clambered through the turnstile, "a noble game, but not what it was decade ago.
 "Why, Captain, the game has steadily grown"
 Steadily what? Talk about science! The pitchers, the whole battery of to- day don't compare with those old -"
 "What were their strong points. Cap tain?" "Delivery. We talk now about In curves and out curves and up and down shoots, but did you ever see 8 'hook' pitch?"
 "No."
 "Ha, ha. Then you know heap about baseball"
 "How was it de!ivered?"
 Well, the best hook pitcher I ever knew was Jim Bang, the Gotham Ter TOT. Jim had to have 8 special fletcher fer no ordinary mortal wanted to wind onto his hook"
 w nat Wa6 IL l.Ke! '.Ldke! It was 0 sort of compound curve. The ball left Jim's hand as If shot from a thirteen-inch Armstrong, swerved rapidly to the right or left, and just as the befuddled batter struck at 1t with all his might it made a sudden rapid twirl about his neck, starting back toward the pitcher. This was also called the boomerang pitch"
 "But how did the catcher get the ball7'
 Always in front of the batter, un- less Jim gave the signal and put on an extra twist, when the ball would whirl around the batter's neck twice, and the pitcher'd git it."
 "That must have been remarkable work" # "But not so remarkable as the 'bunt' pitch of Cracker Jack Short, the Cy- clone of the Schuylkill.
 "You mean bunt hit, don't you"
 "Who said I meant bunt hit. Imeant bunt pitch"
 'How was it done?"
 "Well, in this throw the ball went right at the striker like an avalanche, and" "straight or curve?" s "Straight-"
 s'Why, Captain, could hit any straight ball, however swift"
 s'Not Jacks. Just as the ball got almost in reach and the batter swung himself to smash it over the fence, ] the ball stopped as suddenly as if striking a stone wall, and fell straight to the ground"
 "And the batter would strike at it?" x "Always" as. "And how would they get him out?" sThree strikes every time." Remarkable pitching, Captain, but 5 how can 1t be accounted for?"
 1Easy enough. asked Jack about it.

A Moment of Horror.

"Engineer Mulligan," of Waterbury,
 says the Waterbury American, "who had the ill-fortune to be at the throttle of the engine that ran
 down and killed the two pretty swede girls at Newington this week, is one of the star men in the employ of the New England road and has spent large part of his life in the cab. In spite of his long service and thrilling experiences, one would judge that he and other engineers are not unlike other human beings in time of danger of this character. Certainly the constant presence of danger does not harden such natures as his. In talking the matter over with the Con- tributor he said he felt like going all to pieces when he saw the girls in front of him and realized that he was power less to save them. It will take him days to become himself again and clear his mind of the horrible spectacle. He describes it as terrible feeling to real ize that the friends of these young wo-
 men will always believe that he might have done more than he did to save them. Even the personal absence of guilt is no balm to his feelings. One interesting, although not remarkable
 result of an accident of this kind, is a growing abhorrence on the part of an engineer to his engine and he always
 makes an exchange as soon as he can.
 MT. Mulligan was running old No. 125 when he had his unfortunate accident at Black Rock. He swapped off his engine as soon after as possible"

Pitching is a science. you know. Jack pitched the ball in such a perfectly straight line that the hole It bored in the atmosphere caused n vacuum and consequent suction behind il. and its speed made a firm resisting air eush- ion in its front. As il flew onward the iengthening hole in the atmosphere increased the suction and iessened the front resistance pressure, and So nicely did Jack calculate that the ball always dropped just in front of the plate. Baseball is a study. science. But here's my ear now. I'll see you to'mor- row afternoon at Sunday school"

Give Your Stomach a Rest
Simple Advice to Dyspeptics.

Indigestion is caused by a tired stomach just as sore back after working is caused by tired muscles. The remedy in either case is rest. Rest is the rational cure for every ache and disorder that is caused by OverwOrk. There is but one way to rest your stomach and other digestive organs without starving, and that is by resort to the use of artifcially di- gested foods. meat and vegetables can be digested outside of the body and thus fitted for immediate ab- sorption without further change.
 Paskola is such food, but Paskola is some thing more than food. It not only strength ems and nourishes the body, but it aids the di- gestion of other foods.
 By its use the .dyspeptic will find himself able to eat and enjoy those things which have heretofore caused the most frightful distress. Is hidden almost entirely in the food we eat. If we take care of our digestion, if we eat proper food, the chances are we shall always be well. If we fall sick, we should take all the more care for what we eat. sHs Sickness can be cured by food more easily than by medicines. PaskOla is one of the most important discoveries of our age. Here IS the evidence of what it c2n do for you. 7 ERADICATION, N. J., April Il, 1894. !. Gentlemen-After being under the care of my physician for long time and trying al most every remedy known to science, r was induced by my friends to try Paskola as g last resort to health.

 Exactly the same problem that con fronts us in the case of Shakspere meets us in the biography of all men Of genius. The degrees of genius may differ; but this problem is omn!present, whatever the degree of genius. From the case Of Chaucer. the son of a Lan- don vintner. to that of Lamb, the soa of lawyers clerk. and before Chauces and since Lamb. this problem Is omni- present. We are perpetually aston ished. or in our thoughtlessnes are inclined to be astonished. at the sur roundings in which genius makes its appearance. Would the marvel be really lessened. We ask, If we changed those surroundings? Scarcely one whit The opportunities of genius may possibly be improved. though 1t would be singularly audacious person who would undertake to improve them. It may be wished that Lamb should have been saved from all he suffered for so many years from pecuniary and other yet direr distresses: but who can say that the consequences of such an in- reference with his fate would have been really favorable to the unfolding of his genius? But. however this may be, no such interference would have created or increased his natural en- dowment. It may be true that in coun- try churchyards lie mute inglorious Miltons"-that is poets who never had a chance to show what was In them. An alteration of their circumstances would not have given them genius. 1t would only have provided them with that chance they lost.
 Thus, to explain how the Homers the Dantes, the Shaksperes, have arisen exactly when and where they have arisen surpasses any critics powers is task beyond the reaches of our souls" The apparition of genius is one
 "Of those mysteries which heaven
 Will not have erath to know.
 To maintain that it is impossible that 1t should appear in the son of country tradesman shows the grossest ignor- ance of all literary history-shows, we say, that all who maintain such a no- tion do not understand the problem with which they take upon themselves fo Toy No

THE CORNELL MYSTERY.
A Guilty Student, 1t Is Said, Has Made a
Confession.

ITHACA, n. Y, Feb. 24-The mystery at
tending the Cornell tragedy already gives
new promises of speedy solution. In con-
junction with the clews pertaining to the
auger purchased at Rumbey's and the per-
manganate potassium obtained of Druggist
Haskins the detectives will be furthered in
their efforts by the confession of one of the
perpetrators, who thus far has refused to
make any disclosures because some of his
colleagues are unwilling to concur in the
step.
The jug story proves TO be true in its es-
sential particulars. The occupants Of the
house at Cook street disclaim any knOwl-
edge OF its purchase or it's use. One of the
gentlemen who room there however, has
lett the city, and according to the latest
Developments he did so because he feared
detection.
The subject of the banquet monopolized
the conversation of the townspeope as well
as the students, and Professor Collins of
the School of Law devoted his talk with
the students to the subject of the punish
ment that would be melted out to the Gull
prits when apprehended.
The students bore the expenses of the
funeral Of Mrs. Jackson, which was held
at the Zion Methodist Episcopal church.
The faculty has adopted resolutions, and
the students are preparing to hold a gen
eral mass meeting to discuss the unfOrtu
nate result of the banquet and will prob
ably state the position of the students in
the matter of the tragedy.

She Wouldn't Listen.

Into the soft. warm light of the rich
reception room the heavy odOrs from the
conservatory foated and filled the place
as with a fog Of flowers.
Beneath the crystal chandelier, which
shone in the mellow light as a suspended
rainbow in an atmosphere OF gold, stood
fair, pale girl, erect, imperious, beau
tiful.
Her eyes blazed, and there was but
one emotion which possessed her-lt was
scornful irony.
Shrinking away into the shadows was
the object of it. 1t was Il young man in
d pink shirt. with other things to match.
He had told her of his love for her, OF
his devotion to her. of his worship, of the
dear desire of his heart to make her his
own. and i'll the midst of it she had stop
ped him suddenly.
Enough" she exclaimed. Enough!
| will not listen to another word

out" And the shadows closed around

arms of the octopus. Detroit Free Press.
