keep ia most rigorous training 10 prevent
turning into d walking mountain. This
adipose tendency viii probably end his
pitching in three more seasons. tie could
probably push both Corbett and Nichols all
over u lot, but would be sadly distanced on
a foot-race with either.
Amos has naturally TO such crafty,
brainy skull as either Of The others,
but years Of experience have drilled head
work into him, and he now knows just
about what TO feed any batanan who
Comes before him. Amos wins as much
through terrorism As on his curves or
skill Batsmen are balf-conquered when
they face him. When Amos hits man
the man goes to a hospital. nd the poor
fellow with the stick Is as busy keeping
from being hit as he is in batting. Amos
IL not as wild as he used TO be, and the
fat arm sends them right over the pa1,
but his curves come with such jump and
snap that his inshoots seem sure to Kill
and his outshoots draw in effective lvnacxs
continually.
Amos would be a great batsman IL he
could run he gives more free bases than
Nichols and fewer than Corbett, strikes
out about three to the game and hits
fewer men than he would If the batters
didn't keep dodging. People will walk
into the balls thrown by Nichols and
Corbett when a hit batsnan will force In
a run. but they will get out OF the way
like scared monkeys when Rusie sends
them In.

A TRIO OF GREAT PITCHERS
Styles Of the Leagues Three Mosi
Effective TWTlers.
Nichols Easy and Graceful. Corbett
ner, Rusie Strong and FIeshy.


According to evidence, the three most
successful pitchers of the year are Nichols.
Corbett, and Rusie, two veterans and a
ycungster Three men OF more radically
variant types could hardly be found in the
whole League circuit and each Of the three
affords an interesting study.
haps thirty years Of age, and is of average
size. He has been pitching ten seasons.
His arm is seldom. out of gear, has never
threatened to give out and Is today as
good as it was ten years ago. Nichols has
shrcw1, crafty face, confident, self
reliant carriage. and a general air of
strength and determination. he is OF the
build which never grows too fat and con-
sequently has little trouble with his
training. His habits are Of the best and
he / 8 noted as a model hus band and father.
Nichols seldom seems to use his full
strnegth, and never to overexert himself.
He has few sharp curves or benders Of the
kind which wear out the arm. Game
after game he seeds In the ball lin the same
easy, graceful style, right across the rub
Der and yet most difficult for the batsman.
BE averages less than two bases on balls
per game, seldom hits q man, strikes out
about three TO the game and fields his
position very steadily. He is weak batter.
Joe Coz bett is not over twenty five years
old of about the same size as Nichols, but
very different in gait manner and action.
He follows different athletic pastimes when
off the field, keeps fairly good habfts,
though not as temperate as Nichols, and is,
in fact, just an average, easy going young
man ofthe day. HIS pitching is in opposite
lines from those of the Bostonian. He uses
every possible twist and curve, and some
judges think that his arm viii be gone
when Nichols is still pitching. The ball
does all sort Of gyrations when he throws
it. anc the result is he strikes out four or
more men per gam g, gives many bases on
balls and hits many batsmen. Heis good
batter and tries hard for fielding chances,
but fails down on large proportion of
them.
Amos Rusie is Nan of about twenty
seven, gigantic In size and 80 inclined to
flesh, despite his youth, that he has to

CATARRH.
COLD IN THE HEAD

Is acute Inflammation and swelling of the
Olfactory organ which contains the
Nerves of Smell. This organ Is a long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of the Nasal passage in folds, as
seen in Fig. 3. When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent, il is called
CATARRH. The folds become swollen
into a solid mass, so the air in breathing
cannot circulate between them hence
the loss of smell. The Catarrhal rnicrobe
soon makes its appearance, causing
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcerc is very
poisonous and soon impregn6tes the
whole mucous surface of the nose, hsad
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonslls havs
become q corrupt mass of ulcers. 1t not
infrequently involves thew whole bronchial
passage TO the lungs, causing consump-
ton and death. 1t will be seen that
nothing can radical cure Catarrh which
does not reach to the seat of the disease
between these folds of the Olfactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.

Tho Umbrella In Montenegro.

a voiyode (grandee of the realm)
had como to the conclusion that q
"Frankiah" umbrella was a useful and
indispensable adjunct TO a gentleman's
outfit. He accordingly procured one,
and waited impatiently for AN appor-
tunity to parade it in public. At last
The floodgates Of heaven were opened
the rain decended in torrents, and our
voiVode sailed forth under the cover oH
his umbrella to the great square in
front Of the Princes palace where ne
strutted UP an down with a smile OF
self-complGcency. Suddenly, however,
the Prince stood before him, and,
snatching the umbrella cut Of his hand,
said, Since when mas q AIontenegrin
begun to wear an umbrella, you cow

couple Of blows with it On the head
and efterwords broke It to pieces.
sdnce that time pretty considerable
number OF umbrellas have been inn
ported into Montenegro 1T Is true, but
they are only worn when tie Prince Ia
not about. Whenever the cry is raised,
''The Prince is coming" the "grandecs"
decamp to hide their umbrellas like q

A Fortune In Dust.

An Italian pays New York eighty
Thousand dollars q year for the priyi-
lege OF picking over the city's dirt. A
few years ago three OF four men were
engaged at dollar and a half day
to trim" the city's dirt.
Finally 1t occurred to the superin-
tendent OF street cleaning that smart
man could find enough in 1t to afford
to pay the trlmmers himself, and, sure
enough, such man was found. Then
an offer Of seventy-ave dollars q week
for the privilege was made and accept
ed, and gradually the price rose by sue
cessive bids to two hundred dollars a
week.
BY regular graduations the sums Of
seven hundred dollars two years ego.
eleven hundred dollars last year, and
eleven hundred and fifty-two dollars
per week this, have been made, and the
oity now has It's work done for 1t and
