Patients Play Ball.

Base ball at present is one of the
principal amusements among the male
patients at the Hospital for the Insane
and while the votaries of the national
sport in town are applauding the Prov
ess of the "Old Timers" the patients
and few others, who dwell as it were
in little world of their own, are none
the less absorbed in the issue of their
local contests.
On last Saturday afternoon two mines
picked for the occasion crossed bats on
the grounds in front of the Hospital.
The spectacle was full of novelty and it
must be confessed that the result Of the
game was of much less interest than the
personnel of the two sides and the move
ments of the players. 1t was pleasing
to note how the unfortunate men, often
stolid and moody, entered into the en-
thusiasm of the game, catching the ball,
making their hits and runs with all the
vim and enthusiasm of men in mental
NlSOl W. lDOh part Ill the
game and their presence was all that
was required to hold the patients down
to the rules.
In addition to the players there were
some half hundred of other patients
scattered about on the lawn. One of
these, an ex-attorney, kept the score.
A dozen or more stood about like stat
ues, deeply absorbed in their own
troubles and showing no sign of inter
est except at intervals when the hur-
rahs and tumuIt of the crowd showed
that brilliant play had been scored.
Others, base ball enthusiasts, danced
about in delight volunteering good
deal of advice, which might have been
opportune or otherwise. They made
considerable noise. but on the whole
were less Objectionable than the "root-
ers" that sometimes are in evidence at
games where all parties are supposed to
be mentally responsible.

Strictly Appropriate.

One OF the pretty Sunday school

II is her custom to tell them each Sun
day of some little incident that has
happened In the week and request the
children to quote verse of Scripture
TO illustrate the story. In this way
she hopes to impress the usefulness
or Biblical knowledge upon the little
ones, Last Sunday she told her class
Of a cruel boy who would catch cats

A Boon For ShfppinR.

A resident Of Sweden, Count X. A.
Posse, according to report Of Consul
Nelson at Bergen, Norway has invent
ed a boat stopping apparatus which
will prevent collisions and facilitate
the maneuvering Of large vessels. The
new apparatus consists Of shutters ap-
piled on the starboard and port sides,
about one-fourth OF boat length from
the stern. These can be opened and
shut by means of lever applied on the
deck. Experiments showed that when
the launch was going at full speed 1t

1hfH VIII save Ynur Ice

There are many people who from a
false idea Of economy fail to get the
best results from the use OF Ice In re-
ting IA small piece of ice every day or
every other day instead of filling the
Ice chamber two or three times week.
The small piece Of ice cannot reduce
the temperature sufficiently, and the
result is that each new piece melts
rapidly, and the food cannot be kept
long. II will be found at the end of
the season that the cost of ice and
waste of food have been much greater
than If the ice chamber had been kept
filled.-PittSburg Dispatch.
