If the reforms suggested by tue New
York Baseball Club are carried out,
then the Nationa! Leagues season OF
1900 should be a red letter one in its
history. One of thase reforms is the
abolition of the syndicate ownership
of clubs. These syndicates should be
abolished. Then the baseball rowdies
should be suppressed, and competent
men should be engaged to officiate as
umpires. With these reforms estab-
iished the national game will again
resume its sway over the popular af.

A Lesson For the British Volunteers.

The first thing the war teaches us
is that we ought to trust more than
we do to the individual capacity of the
Volunteers, and not try so hard to
turn them into ordinary soldiers.
The Beers march as they please,
dress, within limits, as they please,
as did also the Colonial men in the
first American war, and form as they
please, though they obey in this lat
ter respect some traditional rules.
They are expected to support each
other rather from willingness than
from discipline, and to rely on their
rifles and their steadiness under fire
rather than any Conference derived
from drill. They do not as yet stand
up to bayonet charges well; but how
often is the bayonet charge possible
when the rifles are well handled? 1t
takes the very best men to get through
that hail of fire, and the very best
men cannot always do it, no troops
that the world knows of consenting to
charge home when more than q third
of their number are on the ground.
The strength of the Boer Volunteers
is not in their drill, but in their indi-
vidual ability when Regulars arc
charging on them TO await their
charge and keep on their desolating
fire. They wait till the assailing
force is actually in touch. That was
the strength of the New England
Militia against us, aud of Hofer's men
against the French; and we are not
sure that we are not forgetting both
how great that strength was, and how
best to develop it. We are, we sus-
pect, cultivating the company too
much, among Volunteers we mean,
and the individual not enough. Yet
it is as individuals acting together
that the Beers are giving us such
trouble. The London Spectator.

The Railroad Gazette gives warn
ing of step backward in transporta-
tion. ga great deal of money has
been wasted by carrying freight and
passengers at an unnecessarily high
speed" So they are to so slow. IT
may be true that "no single reform
can be adopted in connection with
railroad operations that will yield so
large an increase in net earnings as
the adjustment of The time of the
freight trains with reference to the
economical performance of motive
power, but, ii the pace now prevailing
is diminished, it will be something
new in the history of progress. There
have been signs lately of diminished
speed in Atlantic steamers, but we
predict, all the same, that before an
other decade is over, they will be
travelling nearer thirty knots than
twenty.

Patching Small Gloves.

When a glove is too small and
splits, it is worse than useless to sew
up the rent; it must be patched. The
patch must be OF kid of the same color.
Turn the part inside out, having
trimmed the hole round so that the
edges are even, and cut the patch of
kid to the right size. Then, with fine
needle and cotton, sew in the patch,
taking care only to take up the inside
of the kid and to keep the seam fat.
If this be done neatly, the glove will
be nearly as good as new.

Peculiar Accident to a yvoodcocis.

Recently hunter started up large
woodcock, which acted much differ
entity from any woodcock that he had
ever seen. Instead of rising up and
flying away rapidly, the bird circled
round and round, narrowly escaping
violent death by colliding with the
trees. When the bird was killed the
sportsman found that large oak leaf
had been the innocent cause of the
birds peculiar actions. In scraping
around the woods for its dinner the
woodcock had run it's bill through a
large leaf, which so obscured its sight
that it was impossible for it to guide
itself in the air. The sudden pres.
ence of the hunter had started the
bird before it had time to remove the
leaf with its feet, and in this handi'
capped condition it had wobbled about
in the air until it was shot.

Gard Cases For Women.

The newest card cases are of fine
leather, with jewel set in the clasp
like the parent fastener ON gloves, ex-
cept that they clasp through but
tonhole in order to show ON the out

by the best dressed women. Often
the birth stone is chosen, although
the diamond, pink pearl and sapphire
are shown mostly in the best jewelry
stores.

OF course, customers are themselves
very trying at times, bnt the clerk
who is scrupulously polite always has
the best of such encounters. That
reminds me, by the way, of an odd
little incident.
A few days ago one of our girls, who
comes from distinguished and once
wealthy family, was waiting on an i'll.
tempered woman, who treated her
with such brutal rudeness that I was
strongly tempted to personally inter-
fere. However, the clerk remained
perfectly calm and courteous, and be-
trayed not the faintest sign of annoy
ance.

her air of reserve, rushed up and

"My dear child!' she exclaimed, 81
am so glad to see you. Can't you and
your mamma come to my little musi-
cal tomorrow night?" With that she
sat down and launched into general
talk.
The first woman's face was Il study.
She would evidently have given a
front tooth for an equally gracious
recognition, and she glared at the girl
with an expression between wrath and
awe. 1t was very funny. L was be-

PLAIN TALK
ne Catarrh suRerers.

Every person suffering from catarrh in
its many forms, knows that the common
lotions, salVeS and douches do not cure.
1t is needless to argue this point or to
cite cases Of failure. because every vic
tim of catarrhal trouble knows 1t for him
self il he has tried them.
A local application, if 1t does anything
at all, simply gives temporary relief; a
wash. lotion, salve or powder cannot
reach the seat of the disease, wh. .ch is the
blood.
The mucous membrane seeks to relieve
the blood of catarrhal poison by secret
ing large quantities of ,nucus, the dis

Recently this has been accompI g.. ed

OF the mucous membrane and finally tie

An advantage to be considered also ts
that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain mn
cocaine, morphine or poisonous narcf,t-

say concerning the plans of his road with
reference to the commission agreement
and would not state the exact conditions
upon which the Canadian line promised to

propositfon and expected TO save money
by the action The officials of the road
had held alcof until the situation was
plainly defined before acting, and inti-
mated that the course was In hrle with
the agreement previously advanced by

that they were unable to gain correct
idea of the force of the New York ex.
