THE PEDAGOGUE.

The old grammar school at Lichfeld,
England, which is associated with DR..
Johnson's early education, is to be re-
moved to better site.
The only American university provid-
ing Its students with a course of lectures
on poetry Is Johns Hopkins. Hamilton
Mabie, who has become the best all
around literary man we have, is the lee
turer there this spring.
Prejudice against college students Is
dying out. Ten years ago they were re-
ceived with disfavor by business men.
Today they find the commercial world
glad to receive them" So says Superin-
tendent Cooley of the Chicago public
schools.
Max Muller's successor In the chair
of comparative philology at Oxford is
DIR. Joseph Wright, the very up to date
scholar who is using monographs to col
lect specimens of English pronunciation.
These he expects first to avail himself of
for his great English dictionary and then
to store them away for the benefit of
posterity.
When DIR. Eliot became president OF
Harvard, the university was 233 years
old, but during the period since then,
constituting slightly over one-ninth of
the period since its founding, the invest
ed funds of the university have been null
tiplied nearly FIVE times, the number of
students nearly four times and the num-
Der of instructors nearly ten times.

A FAST BALL PLAYER

WITH THE ROARERS.

Catch His own Pitching.
1.-THE fastest base runner / ever saw"
said the fat ex-mascot OF the Lightfoot
Lilies in comparing baseball of the
present with that of the old days, "was
little Sammie Salmon OF the Lilies. But
the fastest base runner / ever heard of
was, or wasn't, as the case may have
been, Steve Speed, who played, or who
didn't play, / don't know which, with
the Ringtail Roarers- At any rate,
whether he ever played with the Roar
ers or not. he was certainly the fastest
that ever came over the crossways.
You don't understand? Well, I'll tell
you all about him.
Zone afternoon about a month before
the last game We ever played with the
Ringtail Roarers the boys were all sit
ting round in the postotfice discussing
our chances for the big contest. Cap
tain Slugger Burrows, who was tend
ing postotfice that day, was over In the
corner reading the ball news In a Jones
County Courier that had accidentally
slipped Its wrapper before delivery.
Suddenly he clutched the paper tight
ly and sprang to his feet. For heavens
sake, boys, listen to this: We have II
from q high source he began to read
breathlessly, that the Roarers have
unearthed a phenomenal base runner,

of wrestling the Jones county laurels
from the erstwhile invincible Lightfoot
Lilies. The newcomers name is Steve
Speed. His extraordinary ability was
first discovered while he was In the
box one day last week. He stopped an
easy grounder and tossed 1t over to
arst to catch the runner. The ball had
no sooner left his hand than, to his hor-
ror, he discovered that first was uncov-
cred. Without a moments hesitation
he made a dive for the bag and sue
ceeded In reaching 1t just In time to
catch the ball that he had thrown but
an instant before, thereby scoring n
put out and an assist unassisted.'
Boys said the Slugger, crumpling
the paper savagely in his fists, to Lily

well, sir, that week We practiced.
In the morning the boys would all go
down to the station and race the trains
as they steamed out OF town. After
moons they'd ease up bit and just In
dulge In short sprints paced by the
town trolley car. At night the daily
practice would conclude with brisk
cross country run around the town
ship. The work began to show. At
the end Of the week we began to have
some hopes OF beating the Roarers aft
er all. And then came a second copy
Of The Courier knocking our hopes
higher than taxes.
The wonderful baseball feat per
formed by Steve Speed the article
said, which was published exclusively
by The Jones County Courier, has been
eclipsed by an even more astonishing
performance by the same player. We

COUNTERFEiTS.

The following simple rules, laid down
by a bank note examiner, will be found Of
service in the detection of counterfeits:
First.-Examine the form and features
of all human figures. IL graceful and
features distinct, examine the drapery.
Notice whether the folds lie naturally
and observe whether the fine strands OF
the hair are plain and distinct.
Second.-EIamine the lettering. In a
genuine bill 1t is absolutely perfect
There has never been a counterfeit put
out but was more or less defective in the
lettering.
Third.-Counterfeit rarely IL ever
get the imprint or engraver's name cor
rect. The shading in the background Of
the yignette and over and around the let
tiers forming the name Of the bank on a
good bill is even and perfect; on coun-
terfeit it is uneven and imperfect.
Fourth.-The die work around the fig
ures of the denomination should be of
the same character as the ornamental
work surrounding 1t.
Fifth.-Neyer take a bill deficient in
any of these points.-Weekly Bouquet.
