Ont of One Clay.

Many years ago before the days OF
railroads a nObleman and his WIFE
with their infant, were travelling
across Salisbury plain. As the story Is
told i'm Mr. A. T. Russel's "Charac'ef
istics." they were 0yertaken by Il Sc
we're storm and took refuge i'll lone
shepherds hut.
The child had taken cold before they
could find shelter and the nurse began
at once to undress it by the warm
cottage fire. As she pulled oil ono
rich silken garment after another th'
shepherd and his wife looked on II
awed silence.
At last the process Of undressing was
completed and the little naked babl
was being warmed by the fire. Iher'
II sat. with all its splendid outer husk'
peeled off. its little body beginning t'
glow in the hut by the fire. The shep
herd drew long breath and exclaimed
"Why. it's Just like one Of ours"

An Animnrs Memorial Stone.

In the center of a field at Waverhill,
Suffolk, England, is large fiat stone
covering the grave Of mare that
died in 1852, inscribed as follows:
"Poka. She never made a false step.
Ecclesiastes iii, 49," 4 reference to
chapter and verse shows the following:
For that which befalleth the sons OF
men befalleth beasts, even one thing
befalleth them; as the one dieth, so

only instance of a text from the Scrip

Men Wear Corsets and BustIes.

In extreme cases men have been
known to wear corsets, and now it
looks as though bustles might be add
ed to the wardrobe of the heavy dress
er. THE military cut will be the
proper thing in mems coats this sum-
mer, says fashionable tailor.
There will be a decided flare at the
bottom, and unless a man has good
hip development the garment will
hang loosely, and the effect will be
just the reverse of what is intended.
Consequently the man with slight
hips, if he wants to look well in one
of these coats, will have to resort to
pads. The padded shoulder has long
been adopted, so why not the padded
hip? Yes, l suppose you might call
it hustle if you choose. "-PhiladeI-

Play Is Disappointing.

The American League has not given
the superior article of ball looked for.
All the teams have gone wrong. The
champions have not walked away as
expected. st. Louis has come up, and
is bound to be in the running, as the
team is fast and well balanced. Chi
cago will weather the storm and be
playing stronger later. Detroit and
Cleveland will no doubt continue to
win some hard games and lose games
reckoned on more than the other
clubs.
In the east Boston looks the best.
Now that Philadelphia is weakened,
Baltimore will scrap and work up
again, while Washington will never be
dangerous. With the pitchers Boston
could be counted on to the finish, but
'Cy" Young may not be as effective
as last season, and Dineen has yet to |
show anything like form. The others

Batting In National League,

Plttsburg outclasses all the other
clubs of the National league in team
batting, and is the only team over the
800 mark. ST. Louis shows up sur
prlsingly well; New York has not done
so badly, and the Reds are going at a
tolerable gait. The work of Brooklyn
with the stick has been very feeble,
and Selee's cubs are at the bottom,
showing that team work and good
pitching have given them their string
of wins. Pittsburg also has a vast
margin as a smuggling club-1OO extra
bases, to 70 for Boston. Pittsburg and
Cincinnati are tied for the lead in
team fielding. New York is in the
middle, Brooklyn down to seventh, and
the st. Louis record is a scandal. The
Cardinals, however, lead in clean
double plays. Tommy Leach is the |
chief long-range hitter, Charlie Dexter |
second. Lauder is the best base run
ner, on a percentage scale, and num-
Der of the pitchers still hold equal
rank at the top, not having lost
game.
