Bag For Bowling Ball.

A speciality for the convenience of
members of bowling clubs who desire
to visit other bowlers for contest
game and take their own balls along is
a bowling ball bag. The individual
ball is as much used now as the indi-
vidual croquet mallet used to be in the
height of the popularity of that game
some years ago. Expert bowlers have
their favo1ite balls. and when they wish
to appear at their best in a contest
game carry their particular ball with
them and use none else. A ball of any
size for bowling is an awkward thing
to carry, and sporting goods houses are
manufacturing bags for the individual
balls. There is quite a demand for the
bags. They are made either to order Or
ready for any size of ball. Leather, can
vas with leather trimmings or moleskin
are used in the bags. The leather is
best for the largest balls. A shoulder
strap is an indispensable addition. The
bags are made of four pieces of leather,
nodded the shape of the ball and sewed
half way up the sides, the open top fas
tening together with three straps and
buckles, two stout bag handles conf
plotting it.-Chicago Tribune.

LADIES' COLUMN.
THE NEWSPAPER IN SERVICE.

1t sometimes seems that many peo-
pie do not know how much work may
be saved by the use of newspapers.
Perhaps it has been necessary to rip
the seams of a dress, or any other
garment; a number of newspapers
spread under and about the chair in
which the worker sits will save all
the litter of thread and lint from the
carpet. They are easily removed and
the threads ars shaken off readily.
One may wish to stew pumpkin for
pies; it will be much more comfort
able to sit while pairing and cutting,
SO put folded paper on the kitchen
table on which to place the preserv-
ing kettle, then draw the chair near,
and there's no harm done, for if the
paper is blackened, that will not pre-
vent it's burning. There are a few
windows to be washed, and couple
of papers on which to set the pail of
water save the carpet if there should
be a spatter. On sweeping day, if
there are not covers enough for
those pieces of furniture that cannot
be removed from the room, number
of papers spread over the writing
table, bookshelves Or pictures answer
a useful purpose.
There are flowers to be arranged,
the sweetest things in the world; but
they will make litter unless placed
on large paper-a bright idea, for
now they may be taken to any part of
the house and arranged more leisure
ly. The silver must be polished, but
let US not stand. Spread some pa
pers on the table, move the chairs
near; now everything is protected,
the papers can be burned if soiled by
the whiting, the rubbing or the wash
ing. But do not use newspapers to
wrap about anything eatable. Draw
the line closely, too; it does not pay
to save work at the expense of
WholesOmeness.

Hasty judgment of the actions of
others is dangerous and often unjust.
We measure too much by some su-
perfcial appearance, and condemn
hastily, when, if we but knew and
understood the motives and reasons,
we would warmly approve. We
sometimes say of some one, "That
pain, sorrow Or loss has not deeply
affected him." But we do not know
It is like the death of a few of the
soldiers in front of a regiment. The
broken ranks close up again into the
solid phalanx and the loss is not ap-
parent. There may be no surrender,
no craving for pity, no display of de-
spair. 1t is like the calm, dazzling
play of the waves warmed by the
mornings GUN after night of storm
and wreck; the tide has carried the
debris far away out on the ocean; the
treacherous water has swallowed all
signs and tokens of the nights awful
work. We see only the fairness of
the morning, not the suffering of the
night. Let us be charitable in our
judgment and condemn not when we
do not know.

Carlisle Indians Improving.

The Carlisle Indians propose to make
a better showing ON the gridiron this
year than they did last year. A game,
it is said, has been arranged between
the Indians and Yale to be played some
time in November. Almost the entire
team of last year will remain at school
and represent it on the football field.
The Indians have engaged the services
of W. T. Bull as coach. The Indians are
weak on kicking, and Bull expects to
strengthen them materially in that re-

THE SPORTING WORLD.

The extraordinary interest taken in
college athletics by the general public
is shown by the reports of the treasurers
of the various college athletic associa-
tions. No other country in the world
ever patronized college sports so ex-
tensively. Just glance at some of the
figures for last year. The returns from
three of the leading colleges are total
lied briefly as follows:
Received. Spent.
Yale (1895-6) $50, 739. IS $50, 945. IL
Pennsylvania (year ending
Sept. 80, 1866. ........... &c, 959.78 53047. 10
Princeton (1895-6t. ......... 46,615.81 30,941.46
The Harvard totals are fully as great
as those given and will show a profit of
at least 10 per cent. The total receipts
from the athletic games of the four
leading universities = Yale, Harvard,
Princeton and University Of Pennsyl-
vania-were not far from 5000, OOO
This money was contributed very large
~ by the general public, although, of
course, a great part of it came from the
students. Just what the proportion of
graduate and outside patronage to un-
dergraduate patronage is nobody can do
more than estimate.
College athletics have grown more
and more expensive as the games have
grown in popularity. 1t will be seen by
reference to the table above that Penn
sylvania had deficit at the end of the
year. That was due, it is explained, to
the fact that Sc, 815. 25 was spent in i'm
proving it's athletic grounds and that
summer football was practiced. Besides
SO, 676.76 for football expense, the &C
counts show $3,177.89 for transporta-
ton and hotels, 81, 10 for training
table, ST., 900. II for uniforms. Prince
toms summer expenses are given as
$48.98; training table, So SO3.57, and

POULTICES.

A professional nurse gives the fol-
lowing directions for making poulti-
ces:
Mustard-Take of powdered mus
tard two ounces and enough vinegar
to make it spread properly. For per-
sons of thin skin and for young chill
dren, use one third to one-half of
flour or Indian meal, and employing
water instead of vinegar for moisten-
ing it. A mustard poultice can sell
dom be endured longer than half an
hour; indeed, there is danger in leav-
ing on mustard pou1tice to the point
of blistering, as it may produce sore
very hard to heal.
CharcoaLGood for all foul smelling
and gangrenous sores: Take bread
and milk poultice and stir into it as
much powdered charcoal as it will al
low.
Slippery Elm-Slippery elm poul-
tice is excellent for irritable sores,
when a softening effect is desired.
To make it, take any quantity of
slippery elm and mOisten it with hot
water If more sedative effect is
desired, one half an ounce of lauda-
mum may be added to either the
bread, faxseeed or slippery elm
poultice.
Flaxseed-For painful infiamma-
tons of all kinds, poultice of flax
seed is usefr11 Take of ground flax
seed, one part; barley meal and water
enough to make poultice.
Poultices should never be made un-
necessarily thick or heavy, and they
should be frequently repeated. They
ought always to be put on warm, and
as moist as they can be made without
being so soft as to flow when placed
upon the skin. When they become
dry and the temperature falls, they
can do little, if any good, and may
possibly do more injury than service.

o'clock last evening Gov. Bradley hand
ed down his decision in the case OF
Scott Jackson, convicted of the murder
of Pearl Bryan. 1t is that he will not
interfere in Jackson's behalf. Jackson
must therefore be hanged March 20.
The case of Alonzo Walling, Jackson's
accomplice, was not mentioned by the
governor. This silence indicates almost
positively that Walling will get re-
prieve, probably for 30 days. 1t is be-
sllJeved that this reprieve Will be given
largely with the hope that Jackson
will make a confession.

peared bit brighter for it. 1t is The
