EMBARRASSING TO ANsoN.
~Laughsb.e Mishsp tn the old MAN. in
Philadelphia Game.

PhtiadetpbfN G7me.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
About tbs only time Captain Arson
was ever embarrassed in his life or a
ball field was In a game at Philadelphia
between the home team and the Chi
cagoe. Both clubs were then well up in
the lead, and the enthusiasm of the
great crowd In the stands was running
high. The Chicagos had been batting
the ball fiercely all through the early
innings of the contest. and in the sew
enth or eighth inning, when his team
was In front. Arson came to bat and
fell against the ball with terrific weight.
The sphere galloped merrily through
the grass toward the Reading railroad
and the big red-faced batsman start
ed on his circuit of the bases. Midway
between second and third he caught a
crab, as oarsmen say. and he fell
sQuarely upon the base line. The home
GROVE cheered at the mishap, for IL the
old man had Kept his feet he surely
would have made a home run on his
mighty stroke. As the moments went
by n Arson was not seen to arise the
cheering ceased. for 1t wac thought that
the famous Chicago captain was in
Jured. Players of both teams gathered
about h prone form lying in the n
and then II was seen that many Of them
turned away their faces split into hem
spherical grins.
Suddenly a helper about the grounds
was called from the home players
bench. and. after a hurried consultation.
was dispatched post haste to the little
house where the players dressed them
selves for battle. There were more mo-
ments Of anxious expectancy In the
grand stand and in the bleachers. which
was not relieved until the helper APP
peared with a wheelbarrow. which he
trundled across the outfield as best he
could. When he reached the base line.
where Arson lay, four or five OF his
colleagues picked up the fallen chieftain.
placed him in the barrow and conveyed
him In this fashion to the club house.
where he was lost to view Is or 20 min
utes longer.
When at last Arson r~eappeared he
wore a pair OF practice trousers of a
faded green which might have come
from Green Castle. Ind. so outlandish
and so thoroughly green were they. The
metamorphosls was quickly explained
to the spectators. for Arson had lost a
responsible and n necessary portion of
his Chicago uniform.

"I have great faith said the old mar
ried man who was telling a younger com
panion just how TO choose a wife, I'm the
old aging which calls the mothers OF
fair young daughters 'warnings.' In Sc
lecting a wife always go by the mother
of the girl. It's a good rule. and Tve
never yet known IL to fail. There's a good
long stretch OF future before most people
who make up their minds to get married.
and for a considerable proportion of that
stretch the girl will be much more like
her mother than like herself.
Its easy enough to choose a wife so
far as the present is concerned. but IL you
want to know something Of your wife for
the future you should take her mother
into account. When you see a truly charm
ing mother you may be pretty sure that
her daughter is to be depended upon
when she reaches the same age. Long
before ] was more than aware Of the ex-
istence Of my wife i thought her mother
was one OF the loyeliest women I'm the

SHOPPING IN PHIlAOelPhiA.

~
Trade In Pennsylvania.
From the Washington Star.
The proprietors of a large number of
great department stores OF New York
have only recently found out that there
are hundreds, and 1t is said wen thou
sands. of wealthy New York N
Brooklyn women who do all of their
shopping on this side of the water in
the city of Philadelphia. on all OF the
railroads running to Philadelphia there
are two trains a week called shop
ping rains for the accommodation of
women of these parts. who maintain
that they are treated with more cour-
tesy and consideration. and obtain be-
sides better gewgaws, trinkets n
furbelows and things for their money
in Philadelphia than in New York. The
proprietors of the big shopping shacks
are standing aghast at their discovery
and sputtering many name things
about lac of local feeling" unfair
treatment and that sort of humbug.
The cudgels are often taken up for
the shop girl as a whole class, and just
ly taken up: but the shop girl who pre-
sides at the ounte of most of the
New York department stores Is pretty
well able to care for herself in encoun-
tiers with grabbed woman customers,
or to start such agoing, for
the matter of that. which I'm a
great measure for this constantly in
creasing twice-a-week exodus OF New
York shopping women for the mild,
neutral. colorless town of Philadelphia,
where. they maintain, they find courte-
sy from the Delaware to the Wissa-
hickon, and c~heapness enough to pay
for their jaunts over.

DANCERS or NAVAL LIFE.
Close Call for n war.h.p During a Tsrgel
Practice.

From the Electrical Review.
Those who believe that a naval Off
GERS life in times of peace is one of
ease will undoubtedly change his views
after reading the following experience
as told by a well-known officer in the
United States navy:
II came very near going up into the
air in small bits on this last squadron
cruise. We were at heavy gun prac-
tice at sea. and but for the quickness
of a %gunner's mate would never have
returned. AS you probably know, the
heavy guns in the turrets are fired by
electricity. the gun being discharged
simply by pressing a button. The off,
Ger in of the forward turret
on our ship during rapid firing prac-
tice was just about to press the button
to fire n OF our big guns when a gum
rer's mate was seen to grab at some
thing on the wall of the turret and
then fall in a heap on the floor. The
officer pressed the button, but the gun
was not discharged. When the mate
came to he was asked what had hap
pened, n he informed the officer that
the breech of the CUR had not been
locked and that what he grabbed at on
the wall was the wires forming the
electric firing circuit. When he saw
tHdl the olflCeT was preparing 10 nTe the
gun and at the same time observed that
the breech Of the gun was not locked.
the only thing that occurred to him to
prevent the gun being discharged was
to destroy the circuit. which he did
promptly and effectively. When all
this occurred there was a charge of $50
pounds OF powder In the gun. another
charge Of the same size in the turret
ready to be served, and the passageway
leading to the powder magazine was
wide open. But for the quickness Of the
gunner's mate the gun would have been
discharged, the breech block would
have blown out inside the turret. the
gases from the burning powder would
probably have ignited the charge lying
in the turret, thise explosion would have
ignited the powder In the magazine.
and the chance are that the whole
ship, crew and all. would ave gone up
in the air.
"A thought hat has occurred tn me
is this: Suppose the accident n oc-
CURED, what do you imag.na the verdict
of a board of inquiry as u the cause
of the loss OF the ship would have BEEN
Since this experience the department
has adopted electrical means 10 prevent

From the American Machinist.
An expert French observer thinks
that although we Americans may waste
foo we certainly do not waste energy.
A French officer of engineers gave the
Following account recently of what he
had seen In American factories:
II have been in America six months.
and have visited the mines n manu-
featuring establishments in the East.
West, North and South. / have seen
the most gigantic engineering opera
lions and the most powerful machinery
in the world. but ! shall report to my
government that the biggest things in
America are the little things. The
French people are experts in domestic
economy. and live comfortably by saw
ing what our average families throw
away. But Americans are, on the other
hand, experts in industrial economy.
You make money by saving wastage
I'm business, and you lose some of IL
by wastage in your domestic economy.
The attention paid to small details in
your big works = amazing to me /
have visited some establishments where
i believe the profits are not made in the
manufacture proper. but In the saving
OF materials and labor by close atten-
ton TO details that are with US uncon-
sidered triies. Fol example. / saw in
your shops just now a little grindstone
i'm operation automatically sharpening
lathe and planer tools. This machine
cost, probably. as much as 100 Of our
ordinary grindstones cost, but / see
that IL automatically grinds all the
tools for 300 high-priced mechanics. and
il only works a few hours each day.
The skilled mechanics in our country
frequently stop their regular work to
grind their own tools. and then they do
IL imperfectly. our tools are all accu-
rately ground to the best shape by the
machine. so hat they do more and bet
ter work on this account in a given
time. I believe that that machine has
brains-the brains OF the inventor--and
IL has no doubt revolutionized work OF
his kin In American shops"

An original style of sore throat" Is go

IL is just as disagreeable as the old-fash-

throat is an unswallowable lump that
