Omaha plays at Twin-City park
this afternoon with Rock Island,
and then two games tomorrow, morn
ing and afternoon.
The Omaha club arrived at the
Harper house this morning. With
this club is Baxendale, the midget
pitcher, who deserted Rock Island
two years ago without Provocation.
The editor of the Independence
0a.) Bulletin says that it is not true
that all base ball players fizzle when
it comes to the real serious business
of life. When the editor made the
acquaintance of Judge Deemer, the
new justice of the supreme court, he
was playing base ball in a country
team at a very moderate salary. He
was the first pitcher in Iowa to DEM
onstrate the curved ball. which he
did at the State university in the
presence of committee OF learned
professors. who had .gravely pre-
nounced the thing scientific impos-
sibility.

Medical writer's claim that the sue
cessful remedy for nasal catarrh
must be non-irritating, easy of appli-
cation. and one that will reach the
remote sores and liberated surfaces.
The history of the efforts to treat
catarrh is proof positive that only
one remedy has completely met these
conditions, and that is Ely's Cream
Balm. This safe and pleasant remedy
has mastered catarrh as nothing else
has ever done, and both physicians
and patients freely concede this fact.

Recipe for Soft Gingerbread.

One cup of butter, one cup of molas-
ses, one cup of sugar, one cup of sour
milk or buttermills, one teaspoonful
soda dissolved in boiling water, one
tablespoonful of ginger, one teaspoon
full cinnamon and two eggs. About
five cups of flour, work in four first,
adding the fifth cautiously until the
desired thickness is obtained, which is
trifie thicker than cup cake. Mix the
molasses, sugar, butter and spice to-
gether. Warm them slightly and beat
until they are lighter in color than
when you began. Add the milk, then
the soda Having mixed all well, put
in the flour. Beat very hard five min
utes, and half pound of seeded raisins
cut in pieces may be added. Dredge
them with flour before putting them
in. Bake at once in a loaf, or in small
tins.

It will show clearly, hold it and the
ribbon up to the window and trace in
through with sharp pencil.
Dnintier effects may be obtained by
using moist water colors, instead of oil
paints.
After the design is finished fold the
ribbon in half and overseam it to-
gether on each side, keeping the
selvidgc on the right side. If neatly
done this gives cord effect, and is
better than making n regular wrong
side seam. Make four-inch hem at
the top, and about three-quarters of an
inch from the stitching of the hem
make another stitching all around
the bag; this forms casing for
n half-inch wide ribbon as draw
ing string. A yard of each of the two
colors in this marrow ribbon is neces-
sary. Use bodlSin to draw them
through the casing, one color on each
side, and finish off the ends in little
bows. In overseaming the bag together
care must be taken to leave three
quarters of an inch unsewed, just
where the casing will come, as little
openings for the ribbon drawstring.
The advantage of a bag like this is
that it does not have to be lined, as fine
satin ribbon is heavy enough to do
away with any necessity for this. The
magnesia should be carefully brushed
off the wrong side of the ribbon as
soon as the painting is dry, and just be-
fore sewing the bag together.
Pretty combinations are violet and
white ribbon painted with the two col
ors in violets, the white violets on the
violet ribbon and vice versa; pale pink
and Nile-green, painted with daisies,
and crimson and gold, painted with
crimson and yellow carnations.-Ger-
trude Il. Duffec, in st. Louis Republic.

PETER WAS JEALOUS.
He Objected to the SoldierIy Attentions
Paid His Mistress.

He Objected to the Soldierly Attentions
Paid Ills Mistress.
A lady who performed much service
as a nurse in confederate hospitals had
faithful helper in the person of
an Alabama lrishman who had been
disabled by wound and therefore de-
tailed for hospital service One even
ing, accompanied by her trusty aid,
she rode out to camp hospital to see
some patients She dismounted near
n tent in front of which stood group
of officers talking with DIR. -. a Ken
tucky surgeon, and after pleasant
greetings passed off about her bust
ness. On coming out again she no.
ticed that Peter, the Irishman before
mentioned, pushed rudely in front of
lieutenant, who was offering to assist
her in mounting.
She had not ridden far before Peter,
whose face was like thunder cloud,
broke out:
'Dade, ma'am, yell go there no
more, if ye place"
"What do you mean, Peter?" the
lady asked in astonishment.
Sure" said Peter, thin fellers
wuz maxim game av ye, an calm ye
out av yer name."
Toby Peter, you are crazy. What
did they call me?"
Sure, ma'am, and couldn't jist
make out their furrin wurds, but be-
lave tbs a sinner they called ye. Faith,
an if ye're a sinner where wad the
saints be?"
Womanlike, to use her own word,
the nurse became furious, and on ar
irving at headquarters reported the
affair to the surgeon in charge, who
promised to investigate it 1t turned
out that Peter had overheard a con-
versation in which one of the officers
had made some appreciative remark
about the services of the lady, and the
doctor had responded:
Yes, she is sine qua non."
At another time one of the "boys,"
about leaving the hospital 20 go back
to his regiment, came to offer his kind
nurse little keepsake. This was, OF

and motionless, with his arms folded
across his breast Mabel sank beside
the cot, and all was as still as death,
save the sobs of the heart-brolSen girl.
At last the doctor spoke: "Shall we go,
Miss Myrtle?"
Yes" she said, rising, but as she
was about to leave the room she
turned back and said: ~ believe will
kiss him once for his dead mother"
and bending over the st.ll form, she
pressed her lips to his, but the next
instant she uttered n scream. When
Mabels lips had touched Bert's he
threw his arms around her neck and
said: Now, kiss me for your own
sake!"
Lieut.. Bray, let me go this Instant"
cried Mabel "Dr. DAILY, | never will
forgive you. ought to have known
some Yankee trick would be PLAYED on
me-"
An hour later the doctor saw her
pass his Office door, and he paid the
lieutenant another visit. "How do
you feel, lieutenant?"
II feel much better"
"Did you get the other liiss?"
That's all right, doctor, but / owe
you great deal, and how am 1 going
to repay you?"
by getting we'll, my boy, and mar
rying Miss Myrtle. She's capital
prize! Marry her, and be good to her,
and may God bless you both"
Bert rejoined his regiment and
served until the close of the war.
Then he came south and returned to
Illinois accompanied by his bride.
Mabel has long since forgiven the
doctor, and as he is alone in the world,
he generally spends Christmas with
them. m.-Iousekeeper.

CHILDREN'S EYES.
Every Source of Irritation Must BE Stu
diousIy Avoided.

Every source OF irritation MUST Be stu
diousIy Avoided.
OF all the bodily organs which need
watchful care in the period of their de-
velopment, the eye stands preeminent.
Yet no organ is SO often neglected or
abused.
1t is no calumny upon the modern
school-room, or upon the methods
which are employed there, to say that
they are in large measure responsible
for the many evidences which we meet
of an impaired and defective eyesight
among the young, and a premature
breaking down of that function with
adults.
The close confinement of the student
undermines his general health, and so
renders every organ liable to succumb
under any special strain. Add to this
the extra labor required of all the
organs of the head, the close applica-
ton of the eyes to the page before
them, and the fact that it is often nee
essary to continue the studies with
the aid of artificial light, and it is plain
that school life is full of dangers to the
eyesight of the young child.
And if this is not enough to con-
vince us, we may be reminded of the
unhygienic surroundings of even the
best-appointed schoolhouse, the preva-
lence of contagious diseases of the eye,
and the great liability of infection
through the various pernicious habits
of the average school child.
No young child should be permitted
to pursue his studies to protracted
degree by lamplight. We may turn
his eyes from the light, and even pro-
vide shades for them, and still they
will be affected. 1t is never necessary,
before ones organs are well developed,
TO endcavor to prolong the twelve OF
fifteen hours of daylight.
instruction to the child as to the
manner in which he should hold his
book while reading or writing is also
essential. This includes not only the
proper distance of the page from the
face, but the attitude of the body as g
whole. 1t is easy to establish at an
early period predisposition to near
sightedncss, and even displacement o.
the eyeball itself.
In fact, every source of irritation
should be avoided, even, if necessary
to complete withdrawal of the chile
from his studies. Youths Companion
