BASEBALL BY MACHINERY.
Successful Trial of Professor Blnton's
Pitching Gun

Professor Hinton's patent baseball pitch,
ing gun was a decided success when tried
at Princeton, N. j. Eight strike outs, one
base on balls, one wild pitch and four safe
hits is the record in three innings in the
first fair test of the machines practicable
ity in an actual game. g,
Mines representing the Ivy Club and
Tiger Inn, two of Princeton's social clubs,
played q match game, using the gun 10
pitch for both teams, and the contest al
tracted a large crowd of interested specta-
tors, prominent among whom were Mrs.
Cleveland, with a party or friends, anC
many Princeton professors, who came TO
see with what success Professor Hinton's
invention would meet.
The gun is discharged by the hatsman,
who, when ready for the ball to be deliv-
cred, steps upon al electrical intercepting
plate, connected by wires with the trigger
of the cannon. The speed with which the
ball is thrown is regulated by compressed
air, and ~prong-like projectors IRON tne
lannon's mouth impart a rotary motion to
the sphere when discharged, producing. a
curve in any direction, according ~ the
position of the projecting prongs Is
changed. There is only one serious defect
in the operation Of the machine that will
prevent its use in games, and that is the
long time required for reloading.
Three innings only were played. during
the first inning the batsmen were timid
about standing near the plate, and the big
tout curves caused them to jump back,
but, as the gun threw strikes in every in.
stance, they plucked up courage, stood
closer to the plate and succeeded occasion
ally in making safe hits. The game was
uninteresting, except for the novelty OF
seeing the pitchers box occupied by a ma
chine. The Ivy Club won by a score of Z
to 8.

CHAPTER VIII.
VANISHED.

Slam the ponderous iron vault door
crashed shut. Click! the massive, pol
ished bars shot into their sockets, and
the ominous echo fell upon the heart Of
Arnold Dacre like a knell.
HeartleSs, INSCRIPTIONS villain that he
was, he had no wish to add murder to
his crimes. The one emotion beside
avarice that swayed him, was his senti-
ment for the beautiful Flora Merwyn.
And yet, to reveal now the true state
of affairs, to disclose the captive girl, to
risk her revival and her denounce ment,
meant ruin.
Gnawing his tawny mustache nerv-
ouslY, in a violent tremor, with lllY-Sup-
pressed emotion the cashier followed the
Sheriff as he led his subordinates to the
counting room.
With supreme satisfaction and relief
Arnold Dacre heard him order one of the
twain to patrol the portals Of the bank,
and refuse admittance to any one, while
the other started to disperse the linger-
ing crowd without.
They will soon be gone. Then to re-
move Flora" he planned, plausibly.
He was struck dumb, however, as the
Sheriff again approached him.
IL shall have to trouble you to accom-
pany me, Mr.. Dacre." he said respect
fully, but with determination.
Accompany you!" repeated Dacre.
with a start, "where?"
ITO the Judge. A citation has been
issued for both yourself and Mr.. Mer-
wyn. Poor Merwyn! he is spared the
disgrace of appearing as a public crimi-
nal"
"You do not mean" began Dacre.
That some hot-headed depositor has
sworn out a warrant charging crime,
collision. Do not look 80 concerned,
sir" added the Sheriff plainly evidenc-
ing his esteem for the over-rateG cash
Ter. st is merely a tritiing annoyance.
OF course they can't prove anything Of
that kind against you"
II should hope not" murmured Dacre,
but with a sinking heart.
You will simply have to furnish
bail"

The Test of True Worth.

That which I would have every one in
quire respecting every work of art Of unde-
termined merit submitted to his Judgment,
is not whether it be q work of especial
grandeur, Importance or power; but whether
1t have any virtue or substance as a link in
the chain Of truth, whether it have recorded
or interpreted anything before unknown,
whether it have added one single stone to
our heaven-pointing pyramid, cut away one
dark bough, or levelled n rugged hillock
in our path. This, II it be an honest work
Of art, it must have done, for no man ever
yet worked honestly without giving some
such help to his race. God appoints to every
one Of His creatures q separate mission and
If they discharge it honorably, if they quit
themselves like men and faithfully follow
the light which is in them, withdrawing from
1t all cold and quenching influence, there
will assuredly come Of it such burning
as, in it's appointed mode and
measure, shall shine before men
and be Of service constant and holy. De-
grees infinite of lustre there must always be,
but the weakest among US has q gift, how
ever seemingly trivial, which is peculiar to
him and which, worthily used, will be gift
also to his race forever. "Fool not" says
George Herbert,
For all may have
If they dare choose, a glorious life or grave.
II, On the contrary, there be nothing OF this
freshness achieved, If there be neither pur-
pose nor fidelity in what is done, if it be
an envious or powerless imitation OF other
mems labors, If it be a display Of mere man
ual dexterity or curious manufacture, or If
in any other mode it show itself as having
its origin in ~vanity-cast it out. It matters
not what powers of mind may have been
concerned or corrupted in it, all have lost
their SAVIOR, it is worse than worthless
perilous-cast it out.-John Ruskin.

How much the possession Of happi-
ness depends upon the point Of view
we choose to take in seeing things! He
who determines to look upon the bright
side Of affairs will generally find that
some brightness is visible; he who
wants to point out to himself and 9TH
ers that disbursements abound can,
as a rule, succeed to his W satisfac-
ton in the gloomy pursuit. There. is
such a thing as curbing ones natural
tendency to depression and In whole
some fashion costing lamentable mel
ancholy out Of doors. And one means
to this end is mentally and spiritually
to outgrow the necessity Of being hap
DIV. The less one thinks about the dep
rIyations and lack of those conditions
which are commonly supposed to be
requisites of happiness, and the less one
cultivates a spirit Of restless pursuit
of happiness-a spirit which by its very.
lightness and delicacy eludes a harsh
grasp-the more likely is happiness to-
come all unsought, particularly II one
is more anxious about securing condl-'
tions of happiness for others than for.
ones self. !

Faith for

Take from the navigator his nautical in
struments, and the stupid BOBBY that settles
on the mast of his ship to refresh its weary
frame can make its way to land, and leave
him to perish at the mercy Of the winds and
waves. The sea gull that follows his craft,
to pick up the crumbs Of bread that fall from
his table, always keeps its reckoning in
itself-but man can never depend o.
himself for guidance. A law or
an instrument is his guide, and
his faith in following them determines
his course. "Yea, the stork in the heavens
knoweth her appointed times, the turtle, the
crane, and the swallow observe the time Of
their coming, but my people know not the
Judgment of the ',od." The bee, without

Frettinc Over Small Things.

The great and serious plans for a lifetime
that belong to the solemnities and the
august occasions OF existence, may be
absolutely sacrificed and even ~joyfully
yielded. because great grace is upon US IN
the supreme hour OF choice; but the small
daily plannings for work and pleasure are
often held fast tenaeiously, and when they
are broken we fret and fume with inward
chatting, if not with outward irritation. As
for taking joyfully the interruptions that
come through front door and back, the him
dering things by way of accidents that put
us out and put US about, 30 that nothing
can be finished as desired, it does seem as
if human nature could never find that pos
sible. . Would it not be a triumph OF grace
indeed to be able to take joyfully such
"spoiling?" How do We crave our own way,
even in the smallest affairs! Life would be
undisciplined indeed, If we always had it.
Here is really a great opportunity to
emulate ancient worthless Of this pres
ent work-a-day life, and take j~oyfully
q spelling that may often be as hard to bear
as loss of goods. The records of matyrdoms.
and of great achievements will not be en-
larged by deeds we'll worthy OF remembrance
but the small, joyful surrenders will be well
pleasing in His sight who knows and pities
ALL and, putting these small sacrifices with
others,

A rosary of little deeds
Done humbly, Lord, as unto Thee"

Christ's Separations.

Sawdust and steel filings are all mixed up
until the magnet sweeps over the pile; then
the one is taken and tie other left. The
sweepings OF the United States mint are all
gathered by Ole broom in one heap, but the
fire separates the gold from the dust. The
wheat and the tares grow together until the
harvest. The good fish and the bad are
dragged in the same net. and the an
gels separate them at the feet Of God.
The faithful and the unfaithful go about
the streets until the Master returns, and then
the faithless are cast out. Wise and foolish
virgins sleep alike until the Bridegroom
comes, and then the separation. The two
robbers were in a common prison, till Christ
separated them Oh Calvary, and led one
away to paradise, and left the other toplunge
in deeper depths from the top of the cross
where he had rejected Christ. when He
