One Sunday, though, the we'll broke
loose. and as the water flowed away I'M
der the snow its course could be marked
by the steam rising into the air. The
water made its way to farm a few
miles from town and there settled. The
owner came post haste to town, and
consulting a lawyer was told that he
had a first rate basis foI damages.
The suit was instituted. The snow
disappeared, the water had been con-

farm remained great mudbank. The
farmer was almost in despair, but final

Hot weather came. and the country suf-

The Lottery In Spain.

The great prize in the Spanish Ma
tiOnal lottery was won by butcher at
SaragOssa, who seems to have borne his
stroke of fortune in a very proper spirit.
His total gain would have amounted to
about $3.50, 600 had he taken the whole
risk himself, but he had split up his
ticket among a couple of hundred part
ners in varying proportions, so that his
own share is not so considerable. How
ever, he generously gave $500 to the
official who paid the money, and 5000
to blind man who shouted out the
lucky number at the door of the Office
his next care being to distribute meat
gratis TO everybody living in his quar-
ter of the town. Not few stories are
told in the Spanish papers as to the eff
feet on different individuals of this sud
den bit of luck. One of the beneficiaries
was nurse in the family of poverty
stricken infantry captain who rarely
paid her wages. On tho receipt of the
$40, 900 that fell to her share she at
once handed the amount over to her
master, exclaiming. You shall not
know want after today. We can all of
us live on the money. Paris Herald.

Wanted Them All Alike.

Il was once in a big store in Salt
Lake City" remarked a woman who
has crossed the continent not less than
IL times, when man came in and
asked the proprietor for seven sealsllin
sacks. What style of sack:' inquired
the proprietor very properly.
81 don't care what style, retorted
the purchaser, with some savageness,
Just SO as they're all exactly alike.
There mustn't be one inch more seal
skin on one than another and mustn't
be hairs breadth difference in their
length, width or quality, or my seven
wives will make it hot for me ut home.
Understand, l don't care about the fit
or anything else. You send up seven
sealskin sacks that are exactly alike
that's the main point From which,
concluded the woman, lit would seem
that polygamy was not altogether the
bed of roses that the Mormons would
have US believe. New York Recorder.

Hats Tn the House of Commons,

The first thing that strikes the visitor
to the house of commons is that-here
also it is exceptional among the legis-
latures Of the world-the house of COM
mons permits its members to retain
their hats during the sitting. Indeed
it is the rule to wear and the exception
not to wear the hat. Mr.. Gladstone
never wears his hat-there have been
exceptions, to one of which will allude
presently-nor did Mr.. Smith, the late
respected leader in the house of COM
mons on the Conservative side, nor did
Disraeli, nor does Mr.. Balfour, nor Sir
Charles Russell.
A member, however, can keep his hat
on only when he is in his seat. If he
rises to speak, he of course takes off
his hat. If he rises to leave his seat
and go out of the house, he has to take
off his hat. So long as he remains
standing in any part of the house he has
to keep off his hat. There are some Of
the older members who, even when
they lean over their seats to converse
with a member on the bench in front of
them, take off their hats. And it is usual,
too, when a member interjects an OBJ
servation across the floor to take it
off. 1t was the invariable custom when
member was referred to that he
should raise his hat, but this rule is
falling into desuetude. -Harper's Mag
azine.

nev around the world in the interests of
the Imperial Geographical society of St.
Petersburg and that he had just com
pleted a Journey of - 600 miles on horse
back through the wild regions of Russia,
Turkestan, Cashmere, northern Thibet
and Siberia.
The prince said that the object of his
journey was diplomatic as we'll as scien
tific, and while he was collecting mineral
and botanical specimens and taking bar
ometric and other observations he was
empowered by the car to call on and
conciliate the rulers of ont of the way
countries with whom Russia maintains
no regular diplomatic relations, as we'll
as the more powerful kings, princes and
vicerOys with whom the ear exchanges
official courtesies and yelled discour-
tesies through ambassadors and other
representatives. Another branch of the
princes mission was to look into the con.
ditiOn and treatment of the prisoners in
Siberia, in whom, he says, the car takes
a particularly beneficent interest.
Prince Galitzin also made the startling
announcement that after he had return
ed TO Russia and made his reports he in
horseback trip, which should extend
from St. Petersburg to San Francisco,
up through Russia and Siberia, across
the Boring straits and down through
Alaska, British America, Washington,
Oregon and California, till he arrived
once more beside the Golden Gate. The
object of the journey was to settle the
practicable OF a railroad over the route
selected by the prince, and he was so
certain of making the trip that he said,
Il shall surely ride on horseback into
San Francisco from st. Petersburg
The prince has changed his mind since
then. After his admission to the Saliva
ton Army he announced his intention of
organizing branch of the army i'll Rus
STA, with special view of establishing
relief stations along the routes followed
by eXiles on their way to Siberia. He
thinks he can get the cars permission
if General Booth approves the scheme.
The prince is said to be man of large
means. His family is descended from
the ancient kings of Lithuania. He is
about 4G years old and has bat one arm.
He lost the other i'll an accident i'll Paris

portant is the continuity between the sprint
and the dive. A beginner will hesitate just
before he strikes the mat. This is fatal
fault and is the matter that requires most
attention.
After the knack Of the slide is acquired
the mat is given up for the ground. A
baSeman is stationed at either end of the
cage, and a pitcher watches first" The
runner thus obtains practice in getting a
quick start The knack of sliding around
the baScman is also striven for. Instead of
going directly for the bag he runner throws
his body out of the base line, reaching out
with his hand for the base, his object being
to allow only his forearm to come within
the baseman's reach.
Every method is used to stimulate the
runner to extra eXertion. First two men
are started together, and both race down
the cage One is to slide, while the other
merely sets the pace. The captain inctes
them with such running comments as: "Oh,
that's slow!' "Shake leG!' YOU'RE not
walking to church!' Harder, hardern'
But it is never good form for baseball
captain to use profanity. Such preroga-
tive belongs only to the captain of the crew
who has the traditional privilege of sailors.
The mat is not always in good condition.
If it is Il little loose it may knock the wind
completely out of the slider; if little damp,
it burns" the whole underside off him,
and he needs barrel of sifted rye -four to
give him peace.
Formerly batting practice was held in the
cage. Ten minutes day were given to each
man, practice beginning at 9 a. m. and con-
tinuing on until 3, 4 or 5 o'clock, according
to the number of applicants for positions.
A regular schedule was posted and follow
ed. But it is a question whether cage bat
ting does much good, and at Harvard and
Yale but little attention is now given to it.
The background and the light in the cage
are very different from what they are on
the field. a player showing wonderful
ability in the Enclosure may fail on the dia-
mond. Most men accustomed to batting in
the cage have to virtually learn all over on
going into the open air. This fact accounts
for the weak batting of college mines early
in the season. One point is learned in in
side practice, however and that is form. A
man doesn't have to learn that again out
side. a series of light gymnastics and a
bath end the days work.
Many times a candidate shows up poorly
in cage work and would quickly be dropped
but for his previous good work outside. An
Andover, or an Exeter or Il Lawrenceville,
or a Hartford high school man may do very
bad work in the cage, but he will be kept
on the list by the captain while seemingly
better men are dropped. Unsuccessful can
didates and their friends Srumble at the
'partiality," but usually the judgment is
vindicated as soon as the players go to the
diamond, which this year will probably be
about March Is. d. d. BIDwELL.

The Record of panics.
The 103 years since the adoption of the

there has been Il minor panic-a stock panic,
a bank panic or a sudden fall in prices of
produce, resulting i'll considerable emhar-

been great and serious panic, affecting all
branches of business, and once in thirty odd
years, or, say, about three times i'll Il centu-

watchful supervision of the captain

coach.
More attention than ever before is being
paid to base running among college players.
This is distinctively Yale innovation, OF
rather n Stage innovation. Amos a. Stage,
Yales greatest pitcher, brought his alma
mater to the forefront in this. He began
his work at time when Gale>s baseball
stock was below par. Though his candi
dates were very ordinary ball players, they
were speedy sprinters, and he concluded
that he must find some way to utilize their
running abilities. He soon brought out a
''sliding machine" for cage work. The ma
chine consists of n framework, stoutly made
with a covering of canvas slilcloth, which
is in turn covered with soft brussels carpet.
The canvas and the carpet are stretched on
the frame pretty much after the style of an
old fashioned rope bedstead.
This machine is set in the ground at one
end of the cage so that its top is just level
with the floor. The candidates start at the
other end and sprint down. just before
reaching the machine they plunge forward
sliding headlong and reaching for an imag
mary base The knack of sliding success
fully and safely is rarely Unborn. The nov
ice would frequently bruise and skin him
self beyond endurance if he practiced on
the hard ground. The machine saves any
such torture, but as it is candidates dread
this feature of training, and many are the
men who fail to learn sliding well. Almost
every man has raw knees, hips, elbows and
wrists. Until the exact form of slide is at
tanned, friction, even on the emollient car
pet often burns the skin Off, particularly
from the bare wrists.
Once in awhile man is found who can
not learn the trick, and he is not always a
poor player either. The thing looks easy,
but every beginner forgets some important
prerequisite for success. The arms must be
kept straight and stiff, the body must be
gin to bend at such distance from the
mat, and side and legs must hit the mat
with the least possible friction. Most i'm
