In spite of official denials. the reports

According 10 new from home received
by Cardinal Richard. the Archbishop of

about II reconciliation between the OUR

Of long metal rods ON which the pupil
is placed. These rods move in such a
way as to cause the pupil to make all
the motions of swimming. When the
habit of striking out properly is ac-
quired, the learner is allowed to go
to the water and put it into practice.

A Hint for Dyspeptic..


When greatly fatigued it is ex-
tremely unwise for those who suffer
from dyspepsia to eat heartily, even of
plain, we'll cooked feed. and, under
these circumstances, it becomes ex-
ceedingly dangerous to eat indigestible
articles of food, as pork, veal, cucum-
bers, etc.
If dyspeptics will observe caution in
regard to taking rest before eating it
will materially aid their digestive pow
ers. 1t is good plan for the dyspep-
tic to take a daily nap. Sleep is food
for the nerves; therefore, not only is
the daily nap excellent, but early
hours should be observed. so that
there be sufficient sleep to restore and
invigorate the system.

Cooking for 1nvalid..

A woman who can prepare delicacies

demand that almost any price is will

cheaper scale it would be a blessing to
thousands and would provide employ
ment for hundreds of reduced gentle
women who can cook daintlly but do
not know how to turn their talent to
account.

AS THEY END THE YEAR.
Chicago Times Herald.

Chicago Times Herald.
The quality of the league campaign. ac-
cording to the best judges was hardly up
to that afforded in former years. Up to
the very finish between the leaders the
teams played ball that was hardly as fast
and far from as sensational or as pretty
as the ball seen in preceding years. The
reason Is hardly apparent. excepting that
in baseball. as in every other sport. there
must necessarily be "off years now and
then. The batting was, taken all along
the circuit, about as heavy, possibly a
trifle heavier than last season, the base
running not as fast, and the fielding much
poorer.
Financially the season was a success.
All the clubs made money and are in COM
rarative ease at the end OF the campaign.
BoSToNS AS THE WINNERS.
Boston won tho flag through having a
club which was perfectly equipped In every
department Of play, and. more than all,
had the winning spirit and the fire OF de-
termination properly kindled. The Bos-
tons played good and gentlemanly ball all
the way through. They batted In fine
style and with concerted action, their base
running was superb and their fielding
nearly perfection. Nichols. best OF the
pitchers, seconded by Klobedanz. brought
Them through in fine style. The club had
two fine reserve pitchers in Lewis and
stiyetts. Bob" Allen, as utility man. pre-
vented the team from being crippled by the
disability of Herman Long. The infieid
was very fast, Tenney playing the greatest
imaginable game on first. The Quilted
was excellent, and the catching department
fair. though far from superlative.
Baltimore. with a corps OF able young
pitchers. started well. held the other clubs
down in good style. and even when seme
Of the best players were hurt held It's own.
Captain Robinson's long absence from tne
game. however, undoubtedly cost enough
games to lose the flag, while In the long
run none OF Baitimone's young twirlers was
equal TO Nichols. The team played KICK
ing. rowdyish ball. faster than Boston. but
without much determination in tight places.
The catching, with Robinson, was better
than Boston's and worse without him.
Thsre was little to choose In the pitching
staffs. Boston's being trifle the strooger.
